Chapter 127: Picking Up People
At breakfast the next day, Black told Darren that Dumbledore had no objection to his suggestion to take Harry to 12 Grimmauld Place, and that he was going to do it today, asking Darren if he would like to go with him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course Darren has to go with him, otherwise he really doubts that Blake will send him to Azkaban again, God knows how the Dursleys treat Harry, anyway, it will definitely not make people happy, although during the Christmas holiday last year, Harry must have complained to Blake, but hearing and seeing are still different, and with Blake's character and Dursley's style of acting, they may not even be able to finish three sentences, and Blake is about to make a big move......
After breakfast, Black arranged for Kreacher to get ready to meet Harry, and walked out of the gate of 12 Grimmauld Place with Darren, this time, Darren finally had the privilege of seeing the magic that had been cast on the house.
As they descended the steps, Darren saw the ordinary house they had just left, and began to tremble and shrink from side to middle, narrower and narrower, and finally disappeared between the two houses next to them.
"When my father lived here, he put all the secrecy known to the wizarding world so that Muggles could not see the house, let alone plot it on a map, so that no Muggles would trouble him," Blake said to Darren, "as if anyone would want to come." ”
"But that's cool, it's fun, isn't it?"
Hearing Darren's words, Blake shook his head slightly, "If you've lived in it for more than ten years, you don't think so. ”
Considering the Dursleys' attitude towards owls, Darren first found a public phone booth on the street, anyway, it is better to visit someone's house or say hello first, maybe they will have time to realize that they are about to face Harry's godfather, and the other party is still an adult wizard, unlike Harry who is still an underage wizard, so he is restricted by the Ministry of Magic, he can use magic.
When the phone rang, Darren heard a man in a deep nasal voice in the receiver speak, "I'm Vernon Dursley." ”
"Hello, I'm Darren Shaun, well, Harry Potter's classmate," at this time, Darren heard the inhalation sound on the other end of the phone, and hurriedly said, because he didn't know how long it would be before the phone would be hung up, "I'm with Harry's godfather, and I'm going to pick up Harry for a while." ”
There was silence on the other end of the line, followed by a growl, "Harry!" and that was the last voice Darren heard on the phone.
Walking out of the public phone booth, at Darren's suggestion, Blake boarded the knight bus with him, Darren really didn't want to apparition anymore, he would rather lie on the knight bus to No. 4 Privet Road, besides, he couldn't just knock on the door after making a call, Darren felt that the mind of the Dursleys couldn't understand the magic of apparition.
As soon as he stepped on the Knight's bus, Darren immediately found a bed to lie down, only to see Blake leaning against the window at random, smiling and watching him climb into bed.
"You also hurry up to find a bed, after the bus starts, it's crazy. ”
"Clever for your age, but a little bit lacking, passion. ”
"Passion? Thrown around by the bus?"
At this time, the conductor of the Knight Bus knocked on the glass of the cab, "Drive, Erne." ”
With his words, the bus made a loud "bang", and Darren felt a shaking under him as he lay on the bed, and the legs of the bed rubbed against the floor made a "squeak" sound, but at this time he was completely unaware of this, because he saw Blake leaning firmly against the body, not shaking at all!
"Oh my God, how did you do that?"
Hearing Darren's exclamation, Blake raised his eyebrows slightly, "Do you always express surprise like that, like those Muggles?"
"What?" Darren didn't understand what Blake meant.
"What you just said was like those Muggles, they always said 'oh my God' or 'God' or stuff like that. ”
"Oh, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I've just never heard a wizard say that," Blake shook his head slightly, "It feels a little weird, but it's understandable that you've been living with Muggles since you arrived at Hogwarts." ”
Originally, Darren was going to ask Blake how he managed to balance on the knight's bus, but suddenly, he didn't want to talk.
The speed of the knight's bus deserves to be called "land first", and in a short time, it will send them to their destination, No. 4 Privet Road, which is a standard detached house, exactly like all the houses on this street, and it is really difficult to distinguish them without the house number.
When Darren rang the doorbell, he and Blake waited for a while, and there was no movement in the house, "Aren't they there?" Blake was a little impatient.
"There was someone when I called them, and it's Saturday, so I should be home," Darren rang the doorbell for a moment, and just as Black looked like he was about to pull out his wand, they finally heard someone moving inside.
The door lock made a Caracalla sound, and then the door was pulled open a small slit, and Darren saw that the burglar chain was still hanging, and out of the crack of the door was a half-round fat face, with a big beard, and above it was a small frowning eye, scanning Darren and Blake.
"Who are you looking for?"
"Oh, excuse me, are you Mr. Dursley?" asked Darren, for Blake next to him probably didn't have much experience communicating with ordinary people, and in fact, he had rarely even interacted with wizards in the past ten years.
"It's me, who are you?" Although he heard the other man say this, Darren felt that he knew who he was, and that it was just some kind of fantasy luck that drove him to ask the question.
"Hello, I'm Darren Shaun, we were on the phone this morning, it's Sirius Black, Harry's godfather, I think Harry should have told you. ”
The little eyes in the crack in the door didn't say anything, still staring at Darren tightly.
"Well, we're here to pick up Harry, and his godfather wants to be able to stay with him for a while until Harry goes to school, so that you don't have to worry about it in your family. ”
Hearing this, there was some wavering in that eye, if Harry's uncle-in-law really hated Harry as much as Harry said, then he must be in a conflict now, and it would make Harry happy to let Harry live with his godfather, and on the other hand, it would mean that he could get rid of Harry a month earlier than he used to and not have to stay in his house.
However, Darren feels that Uncle Harry's conflict is pointless, because with Blake, who can stop him from taking Harry away?
