A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 319 Protection
Uncle Vernon was driving in the front seat, his face turned maroon, and a pair of small eyes peeked at Harry and Sirius in the back seat with the help of the small mirror in the car.

Harry couldn't believe his good fortune, and although he was a little embarrassed to be caught lying by his godfather, his mind was full of happy emotions now.In the minutes before he stepped off the train, he was also feeling depressed about spending at least six weeks with the Dursleys.He could totally imagine what kind of day it was. He would hold back his eyes and stay up for two days, and then pry open the cupboard downstairs one night to write his summer homework.

After that, he counted the days, hoping that the Weasleys would take him out of the sea of ​​misery. It would be even better if someone sent him a letter during this period. He was the most confident about Ron, Hermione, Dobby and Sirius , at least one birthday card, and he even began to figure that the Dursleys were in Surrey, the Burrow was in Devon, Hermione was in London, and if the Grangers had no travel plans, maybe they would spend the summer Meet……

Sirius' words interrupted Harry who was in a trance: "I have prepared a birthday present for you, you will definitely like it."

"What is it?"

"I can't say, I've endured it for a long time, but I can tell you, it's perfect, James will definitely like it..."

Uncle Vernon turned a corner, his hands were a little stiff, and all kinds of thoughts were spinning in his head: a hippie wizard, who looked not much different from the one he had seen more than ten years ago, or even worse, he would not Are you going to live in your own home?
I don't have the habit of helping poor relatives, and I'm still a murderer, even if I'm not, I've been in prison, haven't I!
"boom!"

The car suddenly blew out with a loud noise, and the people in the car were thrown aside by inertia, "Be careful, Harry!" "Ouch!" "Damn it!"

Uncle Vernon slammed on the brakes, and the remaining three intact tires locked tightly, grinding out a string of sparks on the ground.The car stopped.Uncle Vernon endured it to the extreme, saliva flew all over the place, and he opened his mouth to spit out a string of obscenities. Harry stared at him dumbfounded. His brain must be going to smoke at this moment, and maybe the next two days will be exhausted due to overuse. Stopped a lot?
It wasn't until Sirius said with a black face: "If you don't shut up, I will glue your mouth." Uncle Fernon shut up, but after two or three seconds, he murmured in a low voice: "You are not a murderer, you I said it myself."

"You don't need to remind me! Want to show you what I learned in Azkaban?" Sirius snarled, but his threats didn't come off very well, because Uncle Vernon didn't know What was this place, Harry whispered to him that it was a wizard's prison, his little carrot-like fingers quivered, and finally fell silent.

Uncle Feinon struggled to open the car door and got out of the car. Because he couldn't squat down, he could only lie on the ground and said cursingly: "The front tire is blown out, and we are still halfway from home, and it will cost a fortune to call a tow truck..." Things are not going well..."

Sirius got out of the car, his hippie attire attracted a lot of curious looks, Uncle Vernon yelled at him in a low voice: "Can't you just sit back quietly! I'll call a tow truck, in case someone questions you..."

Sirius pulled out the magic wand pinned to his jeans, and used Uncle Vernon's huge size to block himself: "Excuse me, block it for me." A small light flashed, and the tires immediately became intact.

Uncle Vernon stared blankly at all this, wiped his eyes in disbelief, and roared, "Magic!" His first two sounds were so loud, like a lighted firecracker, but He quickly noticed the abnormality, his small eyes quickly scanned around, and swallowed the sound.

"Did you think I'd appreciate you! Freak, maggots in the gutter! Like little monsters—"

Sirius moved his wand to Uncle Vernon's triple chin, and said coldly, "I can already imagine how you treat Harry."

Everyone was silent for the rest of the journey, until the car was about to drive into Privet Drive, Uncle Vernon suddenly thought of a question, how could he bring this trouble into his home without attracting attention.

Harry didn't think it was driving anymore, he could walk faster than that, the car was just moving forward bit by bit.

Sirius was also aware of his unpopularity, maybe from the beginning, but he wanted to see how Harry was doing, to suppress his temper, but he was now on the verge of blowing up.

"Stop," said Sirius.The car stopped immediately.

He handed Harry a mirror: "This is a two-way mirror. There are two sides in total. I still have one in my hand. If you want to find me, just call me at it, and you will appear in my mirror. And I can appear in your mirror and talk to you. In the past, when James and I were not together, we used this to connect."

He looked at Uncle Fernon: "You don't plan to stop it, do you?"

"of course not."

Harry took the mirror and looked around. It looked a bit like the couple mirror of the Weasley twins. He bought it secretly and planned to give it to some people he knew, but the twins insisted on not taking money, so he was embarrassed to take more.

Harry whispered, "Are you leaving?"

"Yeah, I know this place, No. 4 Privet Drive." Sirius said, Uncle Vernon's body trembled, Sirius ignored him, and continued: "Dumbledore told me that your uncle's house was raped." Magic can protect you from prying eyes..."

He turned to Uncle Fenon and said coldly: "This is also protecting you, you should know that."

"Enchanted?" "What have you done to my home!"

Sirius said: "Dumbledore didn't go into details. I guess it's some kind of powerful protective magic, maybe something like the Fidelity Charm? I don't know..." He hurriedly changed the subject.

Sirius lied, he and Dumbledore had a fierce quarrel over Harry's custody, and in order to appease him, Dumbledore revealed more inside information to him.

There are two layers of protection on Harry, one from his mother.

It is an ancient magic, and the preparation time is extremely long. It belongs to the magic of mobilizing spiritual power like the powerful curse, but the former is more difficult. It needs to turn love into the power of protection. That is Lily Evans for herself. For unborn children.

But this is only the first step of this magic. It is not uncommon in the magic world to use the bloodline connection as the bond of spellcasting. What is rare is that this ancient magic has a follow-up. The blood relatives who cast the spell voluntarily choose to sacrifice, which can greatly enhance this magic. With the power, any malicious spells will bounce back automatically.

"This magic protected Harry once. It should have been invalid. I continued its effect. At that time, I was faced with a choice: Is it for a group of people, or for a certain one? What is there to hesitate? Although Voldemort had disappeared at that time , yes, I admit that he is just missing, five years, ten years, 20 years... He will definitely come back, I will make a decision at that time, while others are still celebrating hard-won victories, I have already Started thinking about when Voldemort came back.

So I made a logical choice, and this is the strongest protection I can offer Harry—as long as he still calls the place with the same blood as his mother home, he will not be harmed by Voldemort. "

"For this reason, he has to go back at least once a year and live there for a period of time."

The second layer of protection comes from Dumbledore. He used layers of magic to cover up No. 4 Privet Drive, but it could not be completely closed. For this reason, he set a condition: anyone from the magic world with malicious intentions will not They will find this place, even if the address is accidentally leaked, at most they can only lock a nearby area, trying their luck like headless chickens, and long before that, Dumbledore will get the news.

This was to prevent the remnants of the Death Eaters from looking for opportunities to retaliate. It was not only the protection of Harry, but also the protection of the Dursleys.

"I left this information in Harry's infancy. It said everything. When I was sure that they accepted Harry, I left with peace of mind and full of expectations for the future. I know the Dursleys are not friendly, But that was also what I needed at the time, I didn't want Harry growing up in a doting environment, or getting carried away with credit for something he can't remember."

"Sirius, I hope you will fulfill your duties as a godfather and bring more love to Harry, but at the same time, you must also be cautious in your words and deeds..."

……

Sirius left, and before he left, he said to the unhappy Harry: "I'm going to rent a room nearby, and you can come over anytime. You can do whatever you want except you can't stay overnight!"

　This chapter was unexpectedly difficult to write. I originally planned to write about Sirius having dinner with the Dursleys, and some interesting things happened in the middle, but no matter how I think about it, it will not be connected with "interesting".

　　As for Dumbledore's explanation of Sirius, this is necessary, because unlike the original, Sirius is no longer a wanted criminal, and he has more custody of Harry than the Dursleys.
