Chapter 254 A Window to the Past
·
Liu Yue Zhi Yuan Fei
Just as Harry and Sirius were embracing, a melodious clarinet and piano sound came to his ears.
Harry recalled the experience of the past few years, sometimes life is too unpredictable...
Sirius remembered his past 20 years...
Lupine was the same, looking blankly...
Until Dobby suddenly knelt down and dropped his feet, weeping bitterly, and immediately pulled several people out of this emotion.
Sirius woke up first, and he let go of Harry and looked back at Douglas.
I saw him holding a pocket radio in his hand, and the music came from that radio.
"Doug!"
A roar from Sirius also woke Lupine and Harry from the music.
Harry recognized what Douglas was holding in his hand. It was the same radio that had recorded Parseltongue earlier.
He also asked Douglas before that he wanted to spend money on the magic radio and planned to give it to Hermione as a gift, but Douglas said that the radio had not been returned after it was taken by Dumbledore.
"Cousin, did the principal return the radio?"
Douglas said dissatisfiedly:
"No, I remade this. Remember that if you have good things in the future, don't let Dumbledore pass by. He is famous for borrowing hard to pay back."
Harry suddenly thought of his Invisibility Cloak, which was borrowed from his father by Dumbledore and returned to him when he went to school.
Lupine asked curiously:
"Douglas, what was that song just now?"
Douglas said proudly:
"awindowtothepast (Azkaban episode, the soundtrack when Sirius met Harry before he escaped), I recorded it very early."
This is one of the few pieces of music that he has a fragment of memory. For this reason, he specially described a scene story, and then asked the editor of the Muggle world to help him find some excellent musicians to produce a piece of music that fits his memory.
For this reason, he also took the time to update the works of the Muggle world.
Sirius thought about it carefully and said:
"Is your music mixed with the melodious sound of the siren?"
Douglas said disdainfully:
"How is it possible, I refer to the sound of Orpheus' piano."
Seeing Harry's confused look, Lupine explained with a smile:
"Orpheus is an ancient Greek wizard. It is said that he has a well-made qin. After he plays this qin, it is even more charming. It is said that his qin sound can make powerful black wizards, ordinary People are intoxicated by hearing it, and even the most ferocious magical animals will instantly become gentle and docile, bowing their heads and ears."
Harry let out a soft oh, he suddenly felt that this seemed to be a very suitable gift for Hermione, now that she has become very imposing, if the music is suddenly played while speaking, wouldn't everyone have to bow their heads and listen.
Afterwards, Douglas asked Dobby to arrange a hot pot table, and then several people began to officially celebrate Sirius.
During the meal, Harry suddenly asked Sirius:
"Will I still see you often in the future? Will you still become a big black dog and stay at your cousin's house?"
Sirius hesitated and said:
"Actually, I have a house in London, which is the ancestral home of the Black family. I am the sole heir of the Black family. You can move in and live with me if you want...
Of course, if you don't want to, I can also go to Douglas's house to accompany you, as before..."
After Harry glanced at Douglas, he shook his head and said:
"Actually, I live quite well at my cousin's house, and I have to go back to my aunt's house every summer vacation. I just wanted to ask, will I still see you often at school in the future? I just saw you from the fireplace Get out..."
As soon as Harry said this, Lupine and Sirius were stunned, and they all looked at Douglas.
Because this fireplace was his biggest secret at Hogwarts, he knew that Sirius existed, and always thought he was turned into a big black dog and kept in Douglas's office.
Because the two were very excited just now, they didn't think of the secret of hiding the fireplace for a while.
Douglas wiped his hands unhurriedly, then looked at Harry seriously.
The reactions of several people made Harry's heart skip a beat, not knowing what he said wrong.
"Did I say something wrong?"
Douglas shook his head slowly and said:
"Harry, this fireplace is a fixed Floo network channel, and the other end of it is connected to the home in Surrey. This is a secret that the principal does not know, so..."
Hearing this, Harry nodded quickly and said seriously:
"Cousin, don't worry, I will keep the secret."
Douglas shook his head slowly, then pulled out his wand casually and said:
"Child, you still don't understand the way the magic world keeps secrets..."
Seeing Douglas draw his wand, Harry swallowed and said:
"I... I can make an Unbreakable Vow!"
Douglas showed a bit of surprise on his face, and said in surprise:
"It seems that you have really improved during this time, and you even know the unbreakable oath. But this is not safe, or I will give you two choices.
The first way is to let me erase this memory of yours, but I am not very familiar with memory magic, so it may happen that all your memories will be erased and you will become a silly idiot, but don’t worry, Cousin will take care of you..."
Harry was stunned when he heard this.
Sirius directly held the wand he bought at Ollivander's store today, but Lupine on the side grabbed his arm tightly and shook his head slowly towards him.
Douglas ignored the small movements of the two, continued to fiddle with the wand in his hand, stared at Harry and said solemnly:
"There is a second option. After this school year, you must learn Occlumency for me, so that no one who uses Legilimency will be able to explore the secrets in your mind."
Harry looked a little dazed.
Seeing him like this, Douglas sighed silently, and then lost the chain after praising him, saying to Lupin's Sirius:
"His godfather and uncle, explain to the child what Occlumency and Legilimency are."
Lupine said with some concern:
"He's still so young, isn't it difficult for him to learn Occlumency now?"
Douglas looked at Sirius and blinked and said:
"Forgot to tell you, Professor Snape is a master of Legilimency..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Sirius and Harry say at the same time:
"study!"
"I learn Occlumency."
Douglas put away his wand, looked at Harry, and said seriously:
"Very good, otherwise the secret of the fireplace is known by the school, then I can only escape, and maybe I will face the pursuit of Principal Dumbledore and the arrest of the Ministry of Magic.
Even if Voldemort knew this secret, he might sneak into my office through this fireplace and kill me..."
Harry said emphatically again:
"Cousin, don't worry, I will definitely learn Occlumency. If possible, I can also learn memory magic. I will erase this memory myself..."
Douglas suddenly felt that he was using too much force, so he interrupted Harry and said:
"It doesn't have to be so extreme, as long as you can learn Occlumency well before the summer vacation."
Harry recalled the experience of the past few years, sometimes life is too unpredictable...
Sirius remembered his past 20 years...
Lupine was the same, looking blankly...
