Homecoming from Hogwarts

Chapter 450 Reconciliation with the Dursleys

After the fervent shout, Harry couldn't help blinking his eyes, for fear that he might have misidentified the person, but then, he threw this ridiculous idea out of his mind, and rushed over in three steps at a time.

Sirius' complexion looked good, but his skin was much darker and rougher than it looked a month ago, while Professor Lupine beside him was just the opposite. Harry knew that he had been in St. Mungo's for almost half a year, a long time Lacking outdoor activities, Professor Lupine's face looked a little pale, but his eyes were much brighter.

"Phew, you're really here, and, Professor Lupine, I didn't expect that!"

Unable to completely suppress the throbbing in his heart, Harry said in a trembling voice.

Looking at Harry, who had already grown up a lot after not seeing him for a month, and was no longer even close to him, Sirius's smile was full of kindness, and he rubbed Harry's always messy top of head,
"How could I miss your birthday, Harry, it's not my style to break my word."

Sirius' words made Harry look embarrassed, but he still kept laughing foolishly, feeling that every cell in his body was filled with joy.

"Having said that, Harry—"

Professor Lupine's speaking style was exactly the same as before, very gentle.Moreover, he is always concerned about other people's feelings. He looked over Harry's shoulder and looked into the room, with a little worry in his tone,
"The Muggle who ran past just now is your uncle, right? I think we should say sorry to him. We came to the door without saying hello in advance. He seems to have been quite frightened."

"Oh, leave that nasty Muggle alone, Remus."

Sirius didn't care that he wasn't invited, he walked straight into the hall with his arm around Harry's shoulders, while Remus looked helpless

"I don't think we're going in until at least we have the owner's permission, Sirius—"

"Oh, then you'll have to wait a long time, Professor Lupine!" Harry said with a grin.

"I'm not your professor anymore, Harry, just call me Remus, okay—"

Remus obviously also knew who the Dursleys were. After hearing what Harry said, he smiled helplessly and followed into the hall.

The Dursleys had gone somewhere and were nowhere to be seen in the kitchen.Harry knew that Sirius and Remus would not be very curious about the Dursleys' house, so he led them directly up the stairs to the second floor.

Harry's room was a mess, mainly because he was concerned about whether Sirius would come to pick him up on time these days, so he didn't even bother to tidy it up. Three people walked in rashly, and there was almost no place to put his butt.Sirius didn't care about this at all, he sat directly on Harry's desk, looking at Harry who was busy packing things with a big smile.Fortunately, Remus was more considerate. He waved his wand, and picked up the magic items and clothes scattered around the room by himself, picking up the open boxes one by one.

"Oh, I wish I could use magic during the summer-"

There was a hint of resentment in Harry's tone, but immediately, he put this aside and looked at Sirius eagerly,

"Tell me about your adventure with Professor Brian, Sirius, where did you go?"

"Oh, this—"

Sirius looked at the gradually tidy room and smacked his mouth in dissatisfaction, but he did not raise a written question. Upon hearing Harry's question, Sirius raised his eyebrows and smiled,
"How should I put it? It's very exciting, Harry. I can't tell you what we went through. I promised Amosta to keep it a secret, but I can tell you that it was an unprecedented adventure. Seeing Hogwarts Castle for the first time is a thousand times more amazing!"

"What the hell is that!"

The things involved with Professor Brian are always very interesting, Harry selectively ignored what Sirius said, and still asked urgently.

"Just stop asking, Harry—"

Remus picked up the Charms paper that Harry had dropped on the floor, glanced at it twice, and frowned, but he didn't say anything, and let the summer homework fly into the box,
"I also asked Sirius several times, but he didn't want to say anything. To be honest, Padfoot, I'm very curious about what method Amosta used to make you keep silent. You know, when you were in school Not too good at keeping secrets?"

"Don't try to provoke me into saying it, Moony-"

Sirius said with a smile,

"You know Amosta's temper. He allowed me to tell the story of this adventure, but not now. If I say it now, he will definitely come after you and Harry's memories. dealt with."

"yes--"

Remus couldn't help smiling, "Yeah, he can definitely do this kind of thing."

Last summer, Harry followed Professor Blaine to the underground world deep in Knockturn Alley. Most of the active wizards there were not decent. Professor Blaine was able to move around freely. Harry would not naively think that Professor Blaine was asking for help. Hermione followed the rules, too.Thinking about the consequences of knowing the secret that he shouldn't know, Harry shrank his neck and didn't dare to ask any more questions.

"I thought Professor Blaine was coming with you, Sirius—"

Professor Blaine is also a wizard who is very close to him. Harry hopes that Professor Blaine can appear on Privet Drive again. Moreover, Professor Blaine has a special status. His threat to the Dursleys is not only Because he was a wizard, the Dursleys would treat him much better if he would help him talk to the Dursleys.

"Because of your injury"

Sirius was half-sentenced, and suddenly closed his mouth vigilantly. He obviously realized that it would be unwise to discuss topics related to Voldemort in a Muggle house.

"He had planned to come and see you, Harry, but he had some urgent business and he separated from me when he got ashore. I wanted to invite him to go to the World Cup with us, but he's not very interested in this kind of event. Clearly not very interested in—”

"In a sense—"

Remus scanned Harry's room searchingly,
"Amosta is a pure wizard, he loves the mystery of magic itself, which is one of the reasons why he can achieve such achievements at this age, okay?"

After confirming that nothing was left in the room, Remus looked at Harry with a gentle smile on his lips,

"We're heading to Arthur's house now, we can't use the Floo network, and apparating is a bit of a struggle for me, we can only get there by the Knight Bus, Harry, I hope you don't mind Are you going to travel this way?"

"Oh, I'd rather walk over there if I could."

Remus chuckled at what Harry said wryly.

Remus made Harry's box float automatically, and Harry carried Hedwig's birdcage, and the three of them went downstairs together.

"wait--"

Harry's mind was preoccupied with leaving Privet Drive and going to the Weasleys' house, and Sirius, who was in the back, stopped suddenly and yelped as he passed the stairs.

"What's the matter, Sirius?"

Remus asked alertly.

Sirius snorted contemptuously, and with the other two watching, he pulled his wand out of his sleeve and waved it lightly at the cupboard under the stairs.

Whoa!

The door of the cupboard opened suddenly, and the Dursleys, who had disappeared for a long time, rolled out under Harry's astonished gaze.

This cupboard had once been Harry's residence, and he knew very well how much space there was. It was unimaginable that Uncle Vernon and Dudley could fit themselves into it.

Because of fear, Dudley jumped a few times but failed to stand up, but Aunt Petunia threw herself on Dudley at the first moment, she whimpered softly, her eyes filled with frightened tears.

"Get out of my house, immediately, or I'll blow your head off!"

Surprisingly, Uncle Vernon showed quite a backbone. Even though the fat on his face was trembling with fear, he still raised his double-barreled shotgun, which Hagrid once destroyed, and aimed at Sirius roared.

Sirius ignored Remus's warning and Uncle Vernon's threat, and instead stretched his head into the stairwell to take a look. When he pulled his head back, his face, which was exposed to the sun and the wind, was even darker.

"No, Sirius—"

Even Harry could see that Sirius might be about to teach the Dursleys a lesson, he let out an eager roar, left Hedwig and rushed forward to hug Sirius' hand.

"Amostar told me they kept you in this closet for years!"

Sirius stared furiously at the Dursleys' gray eyes, and snapped,

"If you want, Harry, I'll let them live in the cupboard for a few days too!"

"Don't do anything stupid, Sirius!" Remus' tone was much harsher, "Do you want to go back to Azkaban?"

"I don't care!" Sirius yelled, scratching his neck.

Seeing the thin stick pointed at him, Uncle Vernon sweated profusely. His two thick arms seemed to be as soft as willow branches, and the shotgun in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

"Don't do that, Sirius!"

Harry emphasized again, he looked at Aunt Petunia who was throwing herself on Dudley, and Uncle Vernon who was trembling, his green eyes showed unbearable,

"That's all in the past, Sirius!" Harry gasped, "Since you last communicated with them, they have been very good to me this summer. Really, I can swear that they have changed their ways. !"

Uncle Vernon's face froze, and even Aunt Petunia, who had closed her eyes in fear, opened them and looked at him in disbelief. Obviously, she couldn't believe that Harry would actually cover for them.

"Really?"

Harry's words had an effect, Sirius' raised arm was no longer so rigid, and he slowly lowered his wand, looking at Harry suspiciously.

"I promise you!" said Harry 'surely'.

"So--"

Harry pulled Sirius behind him and tried to smile at the stunned Dursleys.
"See you next year, and Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia, and Dudley wish you all a happy life."
