Chapter 636: Sirius's Request
"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I'm ......"
Vernon Dursley's cheeks twitched, and he was about to refuse.
"Absolutely! And I'm here to cook dinner, which I learned at Hogwarts. โ
Before Uncle Vernon could finish speaking, Harry nodded quickly in agreement.
He knew very well that if Sirius Black left at this time, the cake and birthday party in the evening might all be a bubble - Aunt Vernon might thank him for not speaking ill of them, but he would definitely not give him much of a good look.
Moreover, in Harry's opinion, the Dursleys' preparation for the Masons did not conflict with his birthday.
"That's great! I haven't eaten Hogwarts in a long time. โ
Hearing Harry's answer, Sirius Black's face brightened a little, and he said excitedly.
"Well, uh, then...... Mr. Dursley, is there anything I need help with, or rather, Harry, do you need me to ask Kreacher to come and help...... Forget it, that old guy is just going to make a mess of the kitchen. โ
"If you could, I would like you to change your outfit instead of this ...... Strange robes. โ
Looking at Blake, who sat down on the sofa in the living room with excitement on his face, Mr. Dursley's cheek twitched again.
"At least a little bit more decent, and then there's my important business partner, who doesn't know anything about your side, and I was going to talk to him about some business ...... after dinner."
"It's simple, it's just the clothes Muggles usually wear, so that's it. โ
Sirius Black nodded lightly, and with a casual wave of his wand, the wizarding robe on his body disappeared in an instant, turning into a dark gray classic suit, which was not too difficult for him.
โ...... Okay. โ
Looking at Blake, who had instantly changed into a smart suit, Aunt Vernon replied reluctantly.
"Well, it's not too early, I'll go drive first...... Harry, you're here to entertain your godfather. Penny, you can help watch the family affairs more, Dudley, you come with me, go to the city to show your cousin's birthday cake. โ
Just as Mr. Dursley was about to open the door, there was another knock at the door.
Opening the door, two men in dark gray trench coats stood in the doorway.
"You, you ......"
Vernon Dursley was about to say a few words when his eyes fell on the hands of the two of them, and he subconsciously took a few steps back.
Hell yes, two more wizards with little sticks!
"Hello, we are officials from the Ministry of Magic, here to investigate the situation and deal with the accident. โ
Ignoring Mr. Dursley, who was standing by the door, the two wizards walked into the living room one after the other, looked straight at Harry, who was still standing on the edge of the sofa, frowned, and spoke quickly in a displeased tone
"Mr. Harry Potter, we have received reports that you have used several spells such as the Iron Armor Charm, the Disarming Charm, and the Transfiguration Charm at your residence, and that a flying motorcycle has been seen landing on your residence......"
Vernon Dursley's eyes lit up, and he quickly turned his head to look at the two strange wizards, and was about to say a few words.
However, before he could organize his words, a voice had already replied to the two wizards from the Ministry of Magic in advance.
"Wait, are you the Office for the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic, or the Department of Magical Accident Disasters?"
Sirius Black stood up and asked rhetorically with great skill.
"Who are you, our Magical Accidents and Disasters Division's amnestics and investigators?"
The two Ministry of Magic officials were slightly stunned, frowning as they looked at the man in suit standing in front of them.
"On our records, there are no wizards other than Harry Potter who live in Little Whinging. โ
"I am the godfather of Harry Potter, Sirius Black. All of these spells you've detected have been cast by me, and the scooter is mine, so what's the problem? As an adult wizard, I don't have any restrictions on casting spells. โ
"Sirius Black, your ...... of your bike"
"I know, it's just a fine...... In a few days, you send the ticket to the Black family's old house, and I will go to the Ministry of Magic to pay the fine, but the Muggles accidentally witnessed the magic item, and I know the process very well. โ
Sirius Black waved his hand and replied disapprovingly.
The two officials from the Ministry of Magic froze slightly, and one of them hesitated, took out a notebook, looked at it a few times, cleared his throat, and read it as if he had grasped some loophole.
"Then, Mr. Black, you're going to cast a spell in front of Muggles......"
"They are Harry's legal guardians, legally affiliated with the wizarding world, and the registrant is Dumbledore. โ
Sirius Black grinned and replied in a relaxed tone.
"That is to say, you need not cast the Oblivion Charm on them, to make them forget the necessity of these things, nor do you have any reason to punish me in any way for this matterโit is just a false alarm, gentlemen, do not be too nervous. โ
"Forget, forget, forget?"
Mr. Dursley, who had intended to complain to the officials of the wizarding world, opened his mouth and asked, somewhat confused.
Although he couldn't fully understand the conversation between the wizards, a few key words from Sirius's mouth were enough for him to instinctively sense that something seemed to be wrong.
"That's right, in order to hide the existence of the wizarding world, theoretically speaking, any Muggle who accidentally witnesses a magical phenomenon - well, ordinary people like you who have no magical abilities will have their memories erased by the memory erasers of the Ministry of Magic. โ
Sirius Black turned his head and spread his hands to explain to a terrified Mr. Dursley.
The panicked look on Vernon Dursley's face intensified, and he subconsciously reached for the umbrella by the door.
"What?!Erase memories?!That is, to chant a spell on us!"
"Oh, don't panic, that's just for unrelated people who haven't been in contact with the wizarding world. โ
Looking at Vernon Dursley, who seemed frightened, Sirius Black smiled and comforted.
"As long as I can prove to them that you are indeed Harry's relative and guardian, they will not and cannot do anything with your memories, so you can go about your business and I will take care of it. โ
"Oh, hmm...... Uh, okay...... Shall I go first?"
Vernon Dursley snorted a few times, his shrewd little eyes wandering between the wizards in the room, and quickly made the right decision, took a deep breath, and pulled Dudley out the door as if nothing happened.
While his memories are erased by a spell chanted by a wizard of unknown origin, Harry and his godfather are allowed to have dinner and leave.
Obviously, this is not a complicated and difficult decision.
As for complaining to the government of the wizarding world?
Ever since Mr. Dursley heard Sirius Black's flank response, and the rules for amnestics, he had completely removed the self-defeating practice from his mind.
"Well, Mr. Black, we'll verify what you're saying. โ
"It's okay, if it's okay I'll have to help start preparing the dinner. โ
"Oh, and there are some surprise questionnaires at the end that you may need to fill out ......"
This was the last conversation Vernon Dursley heard before closing the door.
......
Harry had never experienced anything like this at 4 Privet Road.
Aunt Petunia sets the table downstairs, and he and Sirius Black clean up the bedroom upstairs and unpack presents.
Uncle Vernon and his cousin Dudley were in the living room blowing up balloons and decorating streamers for his birthday party, and of course, part of it was also to welcome the MasonsโMr. Dursley would not forget his big client.
Perhaps because he didn't want to alarm the Ministry again, Sirius didn't use magic during his afternoon help, but rolled up his sleeves like a normal person and helped Harry and Aunt Petunia around the house.
In fact, Sirius would have had 10,000 spells to do it all in the blink of an eye.
It's just that he won't be able to enjoy the pleasure of working with Harry, and get the opportunity to talk to Harry alone, and for Blake, who has been idle at home for a long time, it's time to move.
"Maybe you're tired of hearing it, but I have to say that you look like your father. As he was tidying up the bedroom, Black suddenly said to Harry, "You have eyes that are exactly like your mother's, except for yours." โ
โ...... I haven't met them yet. Harry said sullenly.
Over the past year, he had heard similar comments from many people, but he couldn't remember his parents at all, and the only time he saw them was when Peter Pettigrew was in the blurred light and shadow reflected in the sky during the public trial of Peter Pettigrew.
"Hmm......" Sirius muttered for a few seconds, "let me think about itโI remember that my old classmates might have some pictures thereโand if you give me time, I'll write to you and ask if I can put together an album for you." โ
"Albums, the kind that move in the wizarding world?" Harry looked up in surprise.
"Of course he can, Jaime was the star of the school at the moment. "Besides, as your godfather and your father's best man, I should have had a lot of pictures of him and Lily in my old quartersโwhen the two of them were together, they didn't lead us to take pictures of the two of them." โ
"By the way, speaking of which, other than that......"
Sirius Black glanced out into the hallway, making sure the Dursleys should not be able to hear, then looked at Harry with some unnatural discomfort and whispered, "That's right, you should know that I am your godfather, your rightful guardian in the wizarding world......"
