When Douglas had just left the gate of Gringotts, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure not far from the entrance of the alley.
Oh no.
is two.
Hagrid and Harry Potter.
Douglas stopped, waiting for the two men to come this way.
Seeing the two walking, Hagrid said something with an unhappy face.
Harry Potter's dirty face...
Just when they reached the exit, Douglas was about to say hello.
I saw a little witch rushing down from the white steps of Gringotts, running straight towards them.
Douglas looked it over.
"Is this Hermione Granger?"
At this time, among the noisy crowd, Douglas clearly heard Hagrid's rough voice.
"You won't have to look for long... wait, are you... Douglas?"
Douglas saw Hagrid's eyes drifting away, and suddenly looked at himself.
Greeted with a smile:
"Hagrid, long time no see.
I saw you just now, I wanted to wait for you to approach and say hello... Who are these two? "
As he spoke, he pointed to Harry Potter and Hermione Granger, who were looking at him curiously.
Hagrid quickly pushed the two to the front, and happily introduced:
"This is Harry... Harry Potter and Hermione Granger, both second-year Gryffindors."
Douglas nodded and said with a smile:
"Mr. Potter, Miss Granger is very pleased to meet you. I am Douglas Holmes."
Hermione said very politely: "Hello, Mr. Holmes!"
This was the first time Harry met an adult wizard who didn't have any surprised expression after hearing his name.
So he looked at Douglas curiously and forgot to say hello for a while.
But he always felt that he had heard the name somewhere.
At this time, the happy Hagrid introduced Douglas to the two:
"Harry, Hermione, don't underestimate Douglas.
You must know that he is one of the few students who has a private kitchen territory in the Hogwarts kitchen.
The braised pork you often eat, the sweet and sour black lake fish, and the white-cut chicken are all from him.
And Harry, the orchard you were fined to cultivate last year was also planted by Douglas.
Most importantly, he is still..."
Before Hagrid could finish speaking, Douglas heard a roughly dressed voice behind him.
"Harry! We hope you've only missed one furnace door... Molly's going crazy, she'll be here in a minute."
The eyes of Hagrid and the others also shifted from Douglas.
Especially Harry, with a look of shame on his face.
Douglas turned around and greeted with a smile:
"Mr. Weasley, long time no see!"
Mr. Weasley was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly smoothed his panting chest.
"Oh, my God, it's Mr. Holmes, it's been a long time indeed.
In the previous letters from Bill and Charlie, it was mentioned that you visited them.
Molly has also been wanting to invite you to dinner at the Burrow, but Bill says you've been traveling abroad. "
Before Douglas could answer, two strange voices came suddenly.
"Oh, it's Doug~"
"Lasier~"
Mr. Weasley said angrily:
"Shut up, you two, I've said it, Mr. Holmes is not fooling your money..."
Douglas suddenly remembered why these two guys were so eccentric.
"Haha, so you two still remember, Mr. Weasley doesn't matter, after all, they did remember the lesson of that time.
By the way, although it was unclear whether it was George or Fred who was driving that day, the driving skills were good! "
When George and Fred heard what Douglas said, they blushed rarely.
Then they looked at each other and suddenly thought of something.
"how do you know?"
"I'm talking about driving skills!"
Douglas really couldn't tell who was who between the two.
He explained with a smile:
"It was one night in early August, and I accidentally saw a car flying through the moon..."
Speaking of this, Douglas turned around and said to Mr. Weasley on the side:
"Mr. Weasley, your craftsmanship is indeed good, but I still have some small comments..."
Hearing that Douglas was going to say his own suggestion, Mr. Weasley immediately regained his spirit:
"Oh, yes, I have wanted to ask you for a long time, after all, this was done under your suggestion."
The children looked at each other. They didn't expect to be discovered so late that night.
Ron leaned over to Percy and asked in a low voice:
"Percy, do you know this Mr. Holmes? What's the matter with Fred and George?"
George and Fred rushed between Percy and Ron respectively, laughing and laughing as they separated.
"Oh...Harry...God, honey, where have you been, why..."
I saw a fat woman, pulling a little girl, ran over out of breath.After seeing the person coming, Douglas subconsciously looked back. He still remembered the enthusiasm of this Mrs. Weasley.
Especially after hearing that his parents passed away.
After Mrs. Weasley noticed the dirty soot on Harry's body.
He took a coat brush out of his bag and began to brush the soot off Harry.
It was only then that Mr. Weasley noticed that Harry's eye was broken.
He hastily removed the glasses from his face and pointed his wand at it.
"Restored as before!"
The glasses are instantly like new.
Mrs. Weasley asked while brushing:
"Oh boy, where did you go?"
Hagrid said with a straight face, "Turn over to the alley!"
"Great!" exclaimed George and Fred at the same time.
Ron also said enviously:
"The adults never let us go!"
They didn't even notice that Mrs. Weasley had stopped what she was doing.
His face was frighteningly pale.
Douglas first said seriously to the children:
"I very much hope you never go there."
Then he smiled and said to Mrs. Weasley:
"Don't be nervous, ma'am, Hagrid brought Harry out in time..."
Mrs. Weasley turned her head numbly at first, but when she saw Douglas, her eyes turned from confusion to shock.
"Yes, you're right...you are?...Douglas?"
Douglas smiled and nodded:
"Yes madam, long time no see!"
While the adults were chatting, Ron slapped his head.
"My God, I remember who he is! Douglas Haggis!"
Harry and Hermione leaned over and asked in a low voice:
"You all know this gentleman? And he said that he discovered the flying car that night before, will he go to the Ministry of Magic to file a complaint?"
Percy shook his head and said:
"No, Mr Holmes and my elder brother Bill are good friends.
Besides, the car itself was remodeled by Dad at his suggestion. "
At this time, Hagrid suddenly said:
"I have to go, I have a lot of work to do today...
By the way, Douglas, when you return to Hogwarts, remember to find me at the edge of the Forbidden Forest. I haven't planted some of the seeds you sent me before. "
Hermione subconsciously raised her hand and asked:
"Under normal circumstances, isn't Hogwarts not allowing wizards outside the school to enter at will?"
Oh no.
is two.
Hagrid and Harry Potter.
Douglas stopped, waiting for the two men to come this way.
