Anyway, the second half of summer life started to get on track.

With Hogwarts curriculum reform on the agenda, the shadow of summer homework finally looms over the future of wizarding.

The silver-white feather pattern wrapping that comes unexpectedly every morning has almost become the most feared thing for every student.

You know, even the powerful underage Dark Lord and the supreme Gringotts Elven Queen can't escape this fate that belongs to Hogwarts students - to the outrageous details of the homework, and the lesson preparation plan.

Parents, whether you were a high-profile school star or a mediocre student, whether you come from an old pure-blood wizarding family, or a half-blood family or a Muggle family...... Adults, who are well aware of the hardships and ups and downs of society, have all shown similar praise and enthusiasm for children's education this time.

In the Ministry of Magic, it has even become a new trend to talk about comparing the "homeschooling" situation of their children.

For example, Arthur Weasley was particularly fond of showing off his children from time to time, and as one of the few families with children who had been selected by Hogwarts to "go back to school", this undoubtedly gave Mr. Weasley great honor and pride.

Thankfully, the current curriculum in the wizarding world is generally relatively simple and basic.

For the vast majority of young wizards, they only need to spend two to three hours a day to complete the summer study plan assigned by the school, and in the wizarding world, where there is a lack of extracurricular workbooks, it is difficult for parents to make more arrangements.

So, after a few brief complaints, the little ones quickly discovered the benefits.

Compared to staying at home with nothing to do, being called to help at any time, or not studying well, the phrase "I'm done with today's homework" has become the most reasonable reason for them to rest and play.

Unfortunately, the above situation is only for those "top students......

For most students, it usually takes one to two times as much time to look up textbooks or seek help from parents to complete their daily summer homework, which is the scariest part.

Many students who were lazy and partial to their subjects in school were exposed under the test of summer homework.

Of course, almost every young Hogwarts wizard is starting to miss their time at school, and they are eager for this last month of summer vacation to end soon, so that they can return to the relaxed Hogwarts castle as soon as possible.

However, not all young wizards find the last month of summer bad.

At least for Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy, the time spent in Black's old house was obviously much more interesting than their previous time in their respective homes.

............

Life at 12 Grimmauld Place is very different from life at Privet Road and Malfoy Manor.

The Dursleys liked everything to be in order, and Lucius Malfoy emphasized the manners of the old pure-bloods, which were the least likely things Sirius Black would observe and reproduce.

In fact, the most important rule of living in the old house of the Black family is to learn to improvise.

Both the Dursleys and the Malfoys were accustomed to telling Harry "what not to do", "what to do", and "what is right", which is the way most adults get along with children.

Sirius Black, on the other hand, prefers to ask Harry and Draco what they think first, and then make some suggestions for improvement based on his own experience and experience, which are more like a friend who is slightly older than Harry and an absolute godfather or uncle.

Of course, this is limited to time outside of studying.

Before Harry and Draco finished their homework from Hogwarts, Sirius Black was almost reminiscent of Professor McGonagall, and even more so - Azkaban's ten years of imprisonment had transformed Sirius from an impatient dog to a patient lone wolf, especially when he supervised the two children's homework.

This is what prompted Professor McGonagall to make an exception and allow Sirius to join Hogwarts as a teacher.

Superb Transfiguration is only one aspect, as one of the most troublesome students in the past, Sirius Black, after becoming a faculty member, can greatly share the daily management pressure of the professors and Filch.

However, regarding Sirius Black's joining Hogwarts to teach, there are still some voices that are not so slightly critical and dissatisfied with the Hogwarts Board and Hogwarts professors.

For example......

"Harry and his father are two very different people, Blake. ”

On the same night that Sirius Black took the two little ones to Grimmauld Place, Severus Snape, guided by Dumbledore, stormed into Sirius' bedroom to warn him.

"If you want to get back the shadow of James Potter from this child, then I advise you to die sooner rather than later, Harry will never become an arrogant and unscrupulous fool like his father - maybe Dumbledore thinks you've learned enough to be as reckless as you used to, but I'll keep an eye on you......"

Sirius Black's eyes narrowed, and he resisted the movement of reaching for his wand in his arms.

Can't take the initiative and restrain his emotions - he told himself secretly.

As a member of Hogwarts' staff and head of Slytherin's house, Severus Snape did not have the right to directly oppose Dumbledore's decision, but if Sirius Black behaved out of line, he could question it.

"Severus, I'm Harry's godfather, and you don't have to worry about these things. ”

Blake turned his head and glanced at his bedroom door to make sure that the two boys sleeping in the room on the other end of the hallway hadn't woken up from their argument or eavesdropped on their conversation outside the door, and continued in a low voice.

"If you have any questions, you can come and ask Harry directly during the day if he wants to follow you to the cold potions basement or stay here for the summer with his godfather and classmates. ”

"It's none of your business, I have other things to do during the day. ”

Faced with Sirius Black's rhetorical question, Snape's face froze, and he waved his hand in some shame.

"Speaking of which...... As for Mr. Malfoy, did you consult his father, Lucius Malfoy, when you hid him in the old Black House house? I don't think it's a good idea to allow underage wizards to run away from home, especially if you still have the potential to become a full-fledged professor at Hogwarts, I think it's worth reminding you. ”

"Draco Malfoy?"

Sirius Black raised an eyebrow, looked at Snape, and said sarcastically.

"After all these years, I didn't expect you to be so nosy, Severus. What does the housework between me and my own nephew have to do with you? Could it be that the Dean of Slytherin House is also responsible for the students to live in their parents' homes temporarily during the holidays, and you have too much to worry about, right?"

"Lucius Malfoy is now a member of the Hogwarts School Board. ”

Snape narrowed his eyes and said unhurriedly.

"As a result of your actions, Malfoy Sr. has formally filed a complaint with the school board and the Ministry of Magic, hoping that Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic will deal with this practice of 'kidnapping' underage wizards - don't you think that as the source of all troubles and contradictions, you should take the initiative to explain instead of hiding here?"

"Explanation? Why do we need to explain?"

Sirius Black grinned and waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Severus, Draco Malfoy is more than just a father, I've written to his mother about him. At least judging by my dear cousin's reply, she chose to respect Draco's thoughts. ”

“...... Very well, it seems that you are indeed much smarter than before. ”

Snape was silent for a moment, then snorted noncommittally.

After returning from Azkaban, Sirius Black was much tougher than he had imagined.

"Well, I hope you can take on the responsibilities of a mature wizard, Professor Black. ”

Snape took a deep breath, turned and walked straight to the burning fireplace in the room, leaving the Black house.

He originally thought that the other party was still hot-headed and acted recklessly with a sudden idea, but he didn't expect to take countermeasures in advance and resolve all his difficulties-for-tat, which was indeed beyond Snape's expectations.

"Whew...... Nosy snot ......"

Looking at Severus Snape who had disappeared into the flames, Sirius Black cursed and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Professor Dumbledore wrote a few words of advice, and helped him to appease Lady Malfoy in advance, and filled in the places he had not thought through, otherwise he might have been ridiculed and joked by this old enemy today.

Merely......

Sirius Black took the letter from his bosom and looked back and forth with some confusion.

"Professor Dumbledore's handwriting, why does it look a little strange, I always feel that there is a bit of a different momentum in it—and this kind of watertight way of coping...... Well, it always feels weird. ”

The man rubbed his hair and sighed helplessly.

It seems that Professor Dumbledore is still a little concerned and worried about what happened back then.
