Chapter 261 Ruins

Liu Yue Zhi Yuan Fei
After the funeral, Sirius and Lupine seemed to be in much better condition.So on the way to Potter's house, Sirius pulled Harry along the slippery stone road leading out of the village.
At a glance, Harry could see that the side street ended in empty fields, but he noticed a dilapidated house, and when he felt the shaking hand of Sirius holding him, he confirmed that It used to be his home.
Harry broke free from Sirius' arm and ran quickly towards the house.
At this time, the three of Douglas slowed down their pace, and looked at Harry's staggered back, and felt a sigh of relief.
Douglas noticed that Dobby wanted to follow, and said softly, "Go slowly, and leave him alone for a while."
Sirius said in a daze, "The Loyalty Curse has expired."
Douglas and Lupine understood what he meant and walked slowly towards the house without speaking.
At this time, Harry had already stood at the place he once called home. Over the past ten years, the hedges here had grown in a mess, and the rubble was buried by the waist-high grass.Most of the house is still there, but it is also covered by deep black ivy and snow. Harry fantasizes that if none of this happened, he must be pruning the ivy under the urging of his mother when he is on Christmas vacation. Sweep snow off the roof with dad.
Looking at the right side of the destroyed room on the top floor, he guessed that it was probably the effect of the spell rebounding that night. Although he didn't remember anything, he knew that he was the one who rebounded the spell that night and defeated Voldemort, too, destroyed that half of the house.
Harry stood at the door looking up at the ruins. He looked at the houses on both sides, trying to restore it in his mind to the perfect period.
Douglas and the others came over, and Harry asked with a lonely expression, "Why didn't anyone rebuild it? They all built monuments."
Sirius looked at the destroyed room, shook his head and said, "Maybe there is no way to rebuild it, the damage caused by black magic cannot be repaired."
Douglas shook his head and said: "It's not that it can't be repaired, I guess it doesn't want to be repaired. On the one hand, it's because it was caused by Voldemort, and some people still fear him. On the other hand, maybe they think it should be done by his master himself." Are you confident in getting it back, Harry?"
Harry said excitedly, "Yes!"
Then he felt that something was wrong, did he have another homework this Christmas, this house is not so easy to repair even with magic.
Douglas nodded in satisfaction and said, "It's good to have confidence. Why are you still standing? Are you planning to pass the house instead of entering?"
Douglas kicked Harry's ass angrily, and Harry staggered and threw himself directly on the iron door that was covered with snow and had already rusted badly.
As soon as his hand touched the iron gate, before he could remove it, he saw a wooden sign rising from the ground in front of them, emerging from the tangle of nettles and weeds like some magical flower. Same.
The sign reads in gold letters:
[March 1981, 10,
lily and james potter died here
Their son Harry is the only one
A wizard who survived the Killing Curse.
The house, invisible to Muggles, was preserved as it was,
To commemorate the Potter couple with this ruin,
And a warning to the violence that left their family shattered. 】
Harry shouted excitedly: "Cousin, look at Sirius."
The moment Harry touched the iron gate, Douglas and the others had already seen the changes in the house. Douglas already knew this, and he kicked Harry on purpose because he disliked Harry for being too grumpy.
But Douglas also noticed that just as Harry was walking towards the wooden sign inside the door, an extremely hidden magic shot up into the sky, and he frowned slightly.
Carefully pulling out his wand, he walked to Harry's side. Sirius, Lupine and Dobby also noticed Douglas' reaction.Although they didn't know what happened, they also drew out their wands at the same time, and surrounded Harry in a quaint shape, while Dobby continued to wear the Disillusionment Charm, and silently merged with the iron gate.
Harry carefully looked at every word on the wooden sign, not paying any attention to the reactions of the others.
In addition to the neat golden handwriting on the wooden sign, there are also various inscriptions on the side, all of which were written by the wizards who came to pay their respects to the boy who survived the catastrophe and the place where he escaped from death.
Some have written their names in permanent ink, others have carved their initials on wooden plaques, others have written messages and dates on them, most recently this Halloween.
Harry looked carefully up there, he had already guessed that Lupine and Sirius hadn't been here since that incident, but Douglas had definitely been here.
He wanted to see what kind of mark his cousin would leave on it, whether it was a name or a sentence.
Just as he was searching carefully, two phantom explosions suddenly sounded outside the door.
Douglas and the others pointed their wands at the place where the sound sounded, but they didn't shoot immediately.
It was only then that Harry noticed the reactions of several people, and hastily pulled out his wand and pointed it forward.
When the blasting sound disappeared, two figures appeared in front of the door, raising their wands nervously.
After Douglas saw the person coming, he put away his wand directly.
"Mr. Shacklebolt (Kingsley Shacklebolt) thought we'd meet again so soon, hey, Tonks (Nymphadora Tonks) is on another mission."
The people who came were the Auror team seen in Hogwarts mouse hunt a few days ago, led by Kingsley, followed by Douglas's old acquaintance, primary school girl Tonks.
When Kingsley saw that it was Professor Hogwarts, a smile appeared on his dark face, and he said in a low voice: "So it's Professor Holmes and Professor Lupine, as well as the famous Sirius Black. I didn't expect you to meet Bring Mr Potter here."
Before Douglas and the others could reply, Tonks' hair changed several colors in an instant, and then he went straight forward, sized up the legendary Sirius, then poked Douglas with his elbow, and asked curiously: "Doug, how did you get together?"
Tonks wasn't there when the Hogwarts operation took place, so it's not clear what the relationship between Sirius and Douglas is.
Sirius became interested when he heard that there was another person named Douglas Doug, and stood aside and looked at the two of them carefully, while Lupine had an aunt smile on his face.
Harry also hurriedly put away his wand, and stood together with Sirius to watch the play. He thought his cousin would definitely go crazy, because every time Sirius called his uncle Doug, his cousin would be unhappy.
But what surprised them was that Douglas just gave Tonks a blank look, and said indifferently: "That guy is Harry's godfather. You have set up early warning magic here to catch Peter?"
Upon hearing Peter's name, Sirius' expression froze, and he dragged Harry directly between him and Lupine, carefully observing the surrounding grass.
Tonks snapped his fingers and said in surprise: "You are indeed Doug, you guessed our purpose so quickly. When the incident happened, we set up an early warning here. As long as anyone enters this yard, We will come as quickly as possible, but we didn't expect it to be you...how did you come here...sorry."
In the middle of speaking, Tonks suddenly remembered what this place was when he saw Harry, stuck out his tongue embarrassingly, and said sorry to Harry.
Harry quickly shook his head and said, "It's okay, I only found out about this place today. What's the relationship between you and my uncle?"
Harry took the liberty of igniting gossip.
