Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 191 Sirius Black and Harry's First Meeting!

"What are you trying to do? Dudley, you can't scare me. Brave Gryffindors are not threatened! I am Harry's godfather! Lily and James admitted it themselves, and that's an inalienable fact!"

Sirius Black was lifted onto the windowsill by Dudley, looking slightly flustered, but still incredibly stubborn.

From that profound conversation, Sirius understood that Dudley was a straightforward, ruthless person with clear principles. He didn't believe that such a person would force him to do something like freefall.

Therefore, Sirius now seems rather emboldened.

Do you think I'm trying to scare you?

Dudley saw through Sirius's plan, his sneer widening, and he was about to push Sirius out the window.

He certainly wouldn't let Sirius fall to his death, but he wouldn't feel any psychological burden at all if he let Sirius experience an extreme sport that puts him on the verge of death.

"Wait! Dudley!"

Just as Dudley was about to make his move, Dumbledore's aged and helpless voice came from not far away, "Lunch is ready. For the sake of lunch, let Sirius go!"

"Hmph! You're lucky!"

Dudley grabbed Sirius back and flung him in front of Dumbledore.

Seeing this, Dumbledore quickly used the levitation spell, which is silent and wandless, to manipulate the air and create an invisible cushion, catching Sirius in mid-air and preventing him from suffering a terrible fall.

Dumbledore then discovered Sirius's injuries and used a powerful healing spell to completely heal him.

The damage that Dudley inflicted on Sirius was all simple physical damage, which could be easily healed with a healing spell.

After Sirius was healed, he stood meekly beside Dumbledore, looking somewhat ashamed.

He hadn't waited at home as Dumbledore had instructed in his letter, and now that he'd been caught red-handed, he felt rather embarrassed.

However, Dudley on the other side was only letting Sirius off the hook for now out of respect for Dumbledore, and had no intention of lowering his demands. He glared at Sirius and emphasized again:

"If you want to see Harry, you must do exactly as I just said. If you do anything wrong, I guarantee you'll never see Harry again in your life!"

Seeing Dudley's unusually serious expression, Dumbledore immediately understood that Dudley was serious. He quickly nudged Sirius Black beside him, who was hesitating and dazed, and chimed in:

"Sirius, just do as Dudley tells you!"

In front of Harry, Dudley's words are worth a thousand of yours. Going against Dudley won't do you any good in building a good relationship with Harry!

"Well... alright!" Sirius finally agreed hesitantly.

Dudley got what he wanted and turned to leave.

It was lunchtime, and my original study plan was disrupted by the big black dog, so I had to go eat first.

After Dudley left, Sirius recalled what had just happened, his mind filled with complex emotions, a mixture of self-blame, sadness, and reflection.

In a daze, he suddenly remembered that he had overlooked something.

Dudley never told him what the smell of Little Pettigrew was all about.

Sirius's hatred and anger towards Pettigrew were inescapable; he had to get to the bottom of this.

He took two steps in the direction Dudley had gone, but Dumbledore called him back.

"Sirius, I think you'd better not eat in the Great Hall. Come back to the Headmaster's office with me! I'll tell the house-elves in the kitchen to bring us our meals."

Sirius then realized that Dumbledore would definitely know about Pettigrew!

Why would he go to such lengths to chase after Dudley and invite further criticism?

“Yes, Professor Dumbledore, that’s exactly what I was thinking. I also have a few questions for you.”

Sirius calmed his excited emotions and spoke gently to Dumbledore.

I'm happy to answer your questions.

Dumbledore smiled gently and led Sirius back to the headmaster's office.

Later, through Dumbledore's narration, Sirius gained a deeper understanding of Dudley's character and abilities, and also a clearer understanding of how Dudley and Harry now viewed him.

At the same time, Sirius also learned that Little Pettigrew was not dead yet, but was being held tightly by Dudley and tortured to the point of wishing he were dead.

Although he didn't have any real experience, Sirius felt extremely pleased just from Dumbledore's narration and his imagination.

Dudley was able to beat the vine with a stick even though Dudley was just being foolish and had no intention of betraying or framing his friends.

It's easy to imagine how ruthless Voldemort would be towards Pettigrew, who voluntarily sided with Voldemort and betrayed and framed Harry's parents.

Sirius is comfortable now.

This was the second best thing he had learned since Lily and James were murdered.

The best thing that came to mind was that he learned from Dumbledore that Harry's childhood was quite fulfilling and loving, and that he had lived a very happy life.

After having lunch in the headmaster's office and carefully tidying his appearance and attire, Sirius, led by Dumbledore, went early to the Practical Magical Skills Enhancement Classroom on the fifth floor to wait for Harry and Dudley's arrival.

He also asked the house-elf who delivered his meals to bring over his suitcase, which he had hidden in a secret spot outside the castle.

The first thing Sirius did after getting his suitcase was to find his new wand, which he had just bought after being released from prison, and put it in the wand pouch at his waist.

Clearly, Dudley's words had a significant impact on him.

Time passed second by second.

Dumbledore and Sirius waited in the empty classroom for about ten minutes before Dudley and Harry arrived together.

Dali did not break his promise.

At lunch, he used the 'Hear-Blocking' spell to briefly recount to Harry what had happened since meeting Sirius.

Harry had mixed feelings after hearing this.

Fortunately, Dudley and Dumbledore had already discussed the matter with Harry before the start of the school year, so Harry was mentally prepared.

Hearing Sirius's heartfelt message that he had secretly come to visit, she decided to go and see him.

Of course, this was all on the premise that my cousin didn't stop me.

……

On the fifth floor of the castle, in a classroom for practical magic skills enhancement.

Sirius couldn't contain his emotions when he saw Harry.

With tears welling in his eyes, he quickly stepped forward, grasped Harry's hand, and carefully examined Harry's face, his emotions running deep.

“Harry, it’s you! Is it really you…?! Wait a minute! Why are your eyes golden brown? It looks like your father’s, but it’s not the same as when you were little! Shouldn’t your eyes be the same bright green as your mother’s?”

Sirius saw that Harry was initially very emotional, with tears in his eyes, but he quickly noticed something was wrong and asked a series of questions in confusion.

Sirius Black visited Harry at the Potters' house when Harry was a baby and even bought him toys, so he knew very well the color of Harry's eyes.

Faced with Sirius's concerned and overly familiar conversation and questions, Harry seemed a little awkward. He was able to answer Sirius's questions, but it was difficult for him to quickly accept the enthusiasm of a stranger, so he hesitated and did not speak immediately.

"Calm down! Harry's eyes haven't turned golden brown!"

Dudley stepped in to defuse the situation, even patting Sirius's hand that was tightly gripping Harry's, creating some distance between them.

Once normal social distancing was maintained, Harry's expression became much more natural.

He responded to his cousin's explanation, reached out and took off his modified round-framed glasses, revealing his emerald green eyes.
