Harry Potter: I started checking in from Diagon Alley

[Ding, host detected that you have arrived at the Screaming Shack. Congratulations on arriving at the check-in location. Please begin check-in immediately and do not exit midway.]

[Ding, check-in successful.]

[Reward: An Unbreakable Oath.]

Eric felt a surge of comfort, his mind trembled slightly, and he learned another high-level spell.

An unbreakable vow, like the Guardian Charm, is another spell that involves the soul.

The main effect of this spell is to establish a pact between two people, with the wizards pledging their souls to each other and vowing to fulfill the agreed-upon terms.

If you fail to do so, you will suffer consequences worse than death.

This spell is extremely difficult, and Hogwarts would never teach it.

Learning this spell requires extremely strong faith.

This spell is typically used by wizards who aspire to work in the legal profession, or by people working in Wizengamot.

The Screaming Shack was empty except for Eric.

All Eric saw was a pile of dilapidated furniture and moldy wooden structures, and he had no idea how long it had been since anyone had lived there.

It seems Sirius isn't here right now.

"Clap."

Just as Eric was about to leave, he heard a sound behind him.

A large but skinny black dog appeared not far from the doorway, staring intently at Eric, with a few wild fruits dangling from its mouth.

Chapter 59 No martial ethics

It really takes no effort at all.

Without needing to activate his mental stance, Eric knew who this big black dog was.

Sirius Black, who escaped Azkaban by transforming into a large black dog after learning Animagus metamorphosis on his own, is a self-taught Animagus.

Seeing that Eric had noticed him, the big black dog grinned, narrowed its eyes, and let out a low growl as a warning, trying to make Eric back down.

He spent the time in Hogsmeade, sleeping in the uninhabited Shrieking Shack at night.

The only downside to the infamous Scream Shack is that there are always a few mischievous students who want to come and explore.

But as soon as he showed a fierce look, the students would all abandon him.

To Sirius Black, who had transformed into a black dog, Eric was no different from the students who ran away when they saw him.

Eric's reaction was not unexpected.

Eric was shocked. He was just a student who had broken away from the group and come to explore on his own. He didn't know many spells. How could he possibly be a match for this big, fierce-looking black dog?

Seeing Eric instinctively begin to feel fear, cold sweat pouring down his face, the big black dog pressed closer and closer.

As it moved forward, it kept stomping its feet with its claws and growling, as if it were about to pounce at any moment.

Eric grew increasingly nervous. Was his promising future really going to end here?

He quickly rummaged in his pocket and finally pulled out a large piece of apple pie wrapped in oil paper.

This is a dish presented with honor by the Hogwarts Dining Hall, and it's also Eric's dinner tonight.

Ok?

Is there any food?

The wild fruit in the big black dog's mouth fell to the ground.

Even from this distance, he could still smell the fragrance emanating from the oil paper packaging.

For the past few months, he had been making a living by scavenging garbage. Now, being a dog, the smell of grease and pastry had long since seeped into his brain through the oil paper.

The big black dog roared angrily.

Eric quickly placed the apple pie on the open ground in front of the screaming shed, then ran away in fear.

The big black dog grinned smugly. Another stupid student. Without even glancing at Eric, it stepped forward and picked up the apple pie with its mouth. This was much tastier than the sour and astringent fruit.

Unexpectedly, the apple pie burst open in the next second, the wrapping paper torn into strips, and released a magical aura without restraint, wrapping around the big black dog and binding it tightly.

What the hell!

what's the situation?

The big black dog stared wide-eyed.

A red and white light followed.

"Collapse!"

……

With a bang, Eric blew open the door to the screaming shed once again, looked up, and went inside.

He held his wand high, keeping it horizontal, pointing behind him.

Following behind him was a large black dog that was tightly bound and controlled by Eric with a levitation spell, floating in the air, unable to move.

The big black dog was completely covered up, with only its eyes showing. Its eyes were filled with murderous intent as it stared intently at Eric's back.

Eric's stun spell wasn't strong enough, and the Animagus form provided extra resistance to magic, so the big black dog awoke quickly.

But there was nothing he could do.

He can't even transform back into human form.

If he had a wand, he would have fought back with all his might and made Eric understand that he was not someone to be trifled with, but unfortunately he didn't.

If he could turn back into Sirius Black, he could make Eric regret his actions today, but unfortunately, he can't.

The spell Eric used to control him was no ordinary spell.

This is a binding spell.

Sirius was very familiar with this spell, because he used to use it often himself.

Back in his school days, he was most at odds with James and Snape, and they would often fight whenever they met.

James was in charge of the frontal assault, while Snape was responsible for providing support from the sidelines, using Binding Charms, Upside-Down Bell Charms, and other spells to surround Snape.

These curses are not fatal and are not very powerful, but they are extremely psychologically damaging.

Especially if you are struck by this kind of curse in front of a girl you like, you may permanently lose the right to choose your own partner.

Snape certainly learned his lesson in this regard.

Later, Snape also tanked.

As long as I don't want to be in a relationship, a woman's gaze can't hurt me.

As expected, I've remained single until now.

The characteristic of the Binding Spell is its surprise attack, imbuing surrounding objects with magic, making them move, and then using it against the opponent.

Before the opponent can react, a sneak attack is guaranteed to be successful.

What alarmed Sirius was that if an ordinary wizard had used a binding spell on him, he would have been able to break free at least once.

But now, he was completely helpless against Eric's binding spell.

What bound him, though seemingly just strips of parchment paper torn into thin strips, was like an iron chain, clinging tightly to his body and rendering him unable to move.

He doesn't have a wand now, and he really can't break the spell using only his own magic.

So the only thing Sirius could do at that moment was try to kill Eric with his eyes.

He floated in the air, his eyes blazing, transforming into Avada Kedavra, scanning Eric's back with his gunshots.

Merlin, grant me your power and kill this bastard!

Is there no reasoning at all? Has the academic atmosphere at Hogwarts deteriorated to this extent?

Eric's feigned fear was quite convincing.

It turned out to be a trap.

How can someone come up and tie him up without saying a word?

Young people have no sportsmanship; they try to cheat me! They try to ambush this old comrade.

Sirius was furious.

Eric led the big black dog to the second floor of the Screaming Shack, immediately dispelled the levitation spell, and put the dog on the ground.

The big black dog remained bound, silently glaring at Eric.

“After I lift the spell, you stay where you are and don’t move, understand?” Eric said with a smile.

Before the big black dog could react, Eric gently waved his spell, breaking the binding curse.

The next second, the big black dog, which had been poised to pounce, suddenly got up from the ground and lunged forward at Eric.

"The Golden Bell Upside Down."

Eric, who was prepared, pointed his wand, and the big black dog was lifted upside down in mid-air, feet up and head down, after leaping only halfway.

I #u0026￥……!

The big black dog got angry and barked loudly, swearing at other dogs.

"The golden bell falls to the ground."

With a thud, the big black dog was thrown to the ground by Eric.

Eric showed no mercy this time, since he wasn't the one who got thrown around in a daze.

The big black dog was still unconvinced and wanted to get up again, but after being imprisoned and tortured in Azkaban for more than ten years and having made his way to Hogsmeade by scavenging for food, his physique was no longer what it used to be.

Even if he had a wand, let alone the fact that he didn't have one, he wouldn't be a match for Eric.

Animagus is already his strongest form in terms of combat power.

So naturally, Eric completely took control of Sirius Black, who had been turned into a black dog.

"I'll say it again, you're not allowed to move after I lift the spell."
