Hogwarts: I am Harry's eldest cousin

Looking at Ron's half-smile, Draco felt embarrassed for a moment.

Fortunately, Dudley rescued him.

"Remember the pocket money project I told you about at the end of last semester?"

Chapter 225 Are You Right? Mr. Black

Seeing everyone nod, Dudley continued.

"We have successfully obtained the professors' portrait rights, and the new cards have been produced. They will be released tomorrow."

"Now it's time to distribute the rewards."

As he spoke, Dudley took out a few heavy cloth bags and placed them on the table.

These were the Galleons that were agreed upon in advance to be distributed to other people.

We make money together, and when we have meat to eat, we must give our brothers a sip of soup.

Several people looked at each other, and no one was the first to reach out, not even Ron, who came from the least wealthy family.

There were definitely no Silver Sickles or Copper Knuts in the bag, so Dudley could only use Gold Galleons.

I want it, but it's too expensive

"Brother D, we just did something insignificant. I don't think we are qualified to receive so much compensation."

After all, he is the richest Malfoy, said Draco.

It was indeed a lot of gold Galleons, but it was a drop in the bucket compared to the little money Dudley was about to earn.

Besides, Dudley didn't give it to them for free; it was the reward they deserved after doing their job.

Through the relationship between the Weasley, Malfoy and Longbottom families, and the operation of the Carrow family, the portrait rights of basically all the famous wizards in the British wizarding world were acquired.

He already had a premonition that the next series of wizard cards would be unprecedentedly popular.

It was indeed a cause for celebration that his companions were not tempted by money, but it was a bit of a headache for Dudley that they did not even take their share.

At this time, seeing that the others were indifferent, Harry took the initiative to pick up his share on the table, and then stuffed the rewards of the rest of the people into their hands one by one.

"Everyone please accept it."

Harry said, "Remember what Brother D said? It's fair! If you don't want it, won't Brother D break his promise?"

The boy who used to follow Dudley timidly at St. George's Primary School has grown a lot now.

Having said that, no one refused anymore and accepted it with joy.

There are few people who don't like gold galleons, the only difference is that they don't want to lose anything because of money. But since it is legitimate income, why refuse it?

Seeing the bags full of glittering gold Galleons, everyone's mood became better, and their appetites improved a lot, especially Ron, who ate three large lamb chops and five cups of butterbeer in one go.

When they were leaving, Ron and Draco, who had also drunk a lot, were arm in arm and staggering to Honeydukes. Since they had money in their pockets, they had to spend a lot. In order to prevent any accidents from happening to the two of them, Neville also followed them.

Dudley, Hermione and Harry were left walking slowly in the night.

A big black dog followed the three people silently.

Before they knew it, they had walked out of the most prosperous area of ​​Hogsmeade and stopped near a large wooden house that looked very historical. As soon as they stopped, the big black dog following behind them also stopped and hid aside.

This is the Shrieking Shack, said to be the most haunted place in England.

It is also a must-visit destination for Hogwarts students.

Of course, they only clock in during the day; they don’t have the courage to do so at night.

"Harry, what do you know about Sirius?"

Dudley asked suddenly as he looked at the crooked wooden door in front of him.

"He betrayed my parents," Harry answered without thinking.

Well, he already knew that.

Don't think that Harry is ignorant, on the contrary he is quite smart. Sirius's affair has caused such a sensation, and you can find out the cause and effect with just a little inquiry.

What happened to Sirius was not a secret at the time. You could understand it even by reading the original Daily Prophet.

He didn't say it just because he didn't want to cause trouble for Dudley.

The big black dog drooped its ears immediately after hearing what Harry said.

"On the surface, that's the case. But I think we can talk to the person involved."

Dudley said, turning to face the big black dog hiding. "Are you right, Mr. Black?"

The big black dog was startled and was about to run away but found that he could not move his body.

Above its head, a much larger Cornish elf was looking at it with a smile.

"I think we should go inside and talk."

Dudley pointed to the Shrieking Shack ahead, "I have an appointment in there."

The interior of the Shrieking Shack was covered in dust, and it was obvious that it had not been cleaned for a long time.

"Professor Lupine?"

Lupin looked surprised when he saw Harry and Hermione coming in.

"Harry? Hermione? And.!!!"

The moment Lupin saw the big black dog, he took out his wand reflexively.

"Except your weapons!"

The unique light of the spell suddenly appeared, but this spell was not aimed at the big black dog, but at the Cornish elf who controlled the big black dog.

The Cornish elf was knocked away, and the big black dog, freed from its restraints, landed steadily and immediately ran to Lupin's side.

Although this pair of good friends have not seen each other for more than ten years, they have such a tacit understanding that they can cooperate perfectly without even speaking.

Harry and Hermione immediately took out their wands, one pointing at Lupin and the other at the big black dog.

In contrast, Hermione and Harry also believed in Dudley. The moment he said the big black dog was Sirius, they believed it unconditionally.

Since Lupin was on Sirius' side, he was the enemy, even though he was a professor.

"Cancel the transformation. I don't want to hear dog talk."

Dudley found a stool from somewhere and sat on it steadily, looking at the man and the dog.

The big black dog's body gradually changed. Soon, a man with tangled hair, sunken eyes, and skin clinging to his skeleton like a wax figure, like a living skeleton, appeared in front of them.

I saw him grinning with his yellow teeth showing, looking very happy.

In his opinion, Remus had already taken control of the situation when he believed in him and stood on his side.

I'm so lucky to meet Remus here.

Even if the other party has a wand, even if the other party has two wands, they are just two little wizards.

But Lupin didn't think so. Hermione and Harry were definitely the most talented little wizards he had seen in all these years. As for Dalinar, he had already gone beyond the category of normal wizards. He had placed him on the same level as the young Dumbledore.

He didn't dare to be careless at all, and even Sirius was rejected when he wanted to hug him.

"Professor Lupin, I think the most important thing you should do is to protect your students."

Dudley looked at Lupin seriously and said, with a hint of disappointment in his tone.

No matter what your reason is, your duty as a professor should be to protect students first.

In this respect alone, he is completely inferior to Snape.

Even though Snape usually targets students and likes to mock them, he really stands up at critical moments.

I clicked the wrong chapter name. I will edit it tomorrow.

I'm not trying to discredit Lupin, but in the original novel, he took away Harry and the other two's wands as soon as they appeared.

Didn't he ever think that Sirius really betrayed him?

Chapter 226: Put away your arrogance, Mr. Prisoner of Azkaban

"Wait, Dursley, don't be anxious. I think there must be some misunderstanding here." Lupin said hurriedly.

He just acted subconsciously just now, and to be honest he trusted Sirius very much.

Lupin always felt that something was fishy about what happened back then. Sirius' betrayal was too unbelievable and unexpected. Having been with Sirius for such a long time, he didn't believe that his best friend would betray his friend, betray and sell out James to Voldemort.

However, his doubts were meaningless.

He is a werewolf, a werewolf who is discriminated against in the wizarding world. The Ministry of Magic will never listen to any of his opinions. If he dares to speak to Sirius, the Ministry of Magic will most likely regard him as an accomplice and lock him up in Azkaban together.

The key point is that Voldemort really has an army of werewolves under his command.

"Sirius, please explain quickly."

Facing Lupin's urging, Sirius showed no hurry. He looked at Harry for a long time and said, "You look a lot like James, your father."

"So you killed him" Harry said in a calmer tone than he expected.

Unexpectedly, Sirius smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't deny this. It is indeed me who harmed James. It is indeed because of me that he died."

"But if you knew the whole story."

Sirius still didn't get straight to the point.

"The truth is that you killed him, and now you're trying to kill me."

Harry interrupted, his voice gradually becoming colder.

Lupin's face turned green when he heard the conversation between Sirius and Harry.

What is this guy doing?

Why can’t you just say it all in one breath? Why do you have to be a riddler here?

He can't even say 'It's not me who killed your parents'?

Doesn't he think he's safe?

Arrogant, reckless, and arrogant, he still can't change these old habits after spending so many years in Azkaban.

"Professor Lupin, are you sure you want to side with this fugitive?"

Dudley looked at Lupin calmly.

He spoke again, attracting Sirius's attention. He realized his last name then: "Dursley? I remember now. Are you the child of the fat guy that Lily's sister married? It seems that you are a wizard now, too. Which house are you in? Is it Hufflepuff?"

"I'm in Slytherin, and you are just as my mother described you to be, vulgar, rude, and uneducated."

After Lily graduated, Petunia, Vernon, James and Sirius met each other at her introduction, but it was an unpleasant meeting. Both sides were very unhappy at the time. The two sisters Lily and Petunia broke up completely because of this incident and never had any contact again.

How can we describe James and Sirius when they were young? They were quite eccentric. In the eyes of the Dursleys, their behavior made them just like unlearned will-o'-the-wisp teenagers and idle street thugs.

As a sister, Petunia was of course worried. As a brother-in-law, Vernon also thought he should do something.

As expected, he was taught a lesson by two wizards.

Snape was targeted by these people when he was in school, not to mention Vernon who was an ordinary person.

"Oh, Slytherin." After hearing that it was Slytherin, Sirius's disgust rose sharply: "A gathering place for criminals. You and your fat pig-like father are as annoying to me."

As soon as these words came out, Lupin knew that he was in trouble.

Sure enough, a spell hit Sirius, sending him flying and slamming his body against the wall.

"You are not allowed to insult my uncle, you damned criminal."

Harry said gloomily, his tone very cold.

"Disarm you!" X2

Hermione and Lupin cast spells at the same time, and the two spells canceled each other out.

"Please wait a moment, Sirius didn't mean it." Lupin shouted hurriedly.

"Can you insult other people's parents without meaning to? Also, is Slytherin a gathering place for evil people? You probably don't know that the first recorded dark wizard in history since the founding of Hogwarts was from Gryffindor House."
