Douglas looked at Lupin's reaction and asked doubtfully:

"You don't seem to be worried at all about Peter running away. You're still here leisurely reading a book. Sirius is actually still thinking about the recognition of father and son?"

Lupin smiled and said:

"Padfoot and I have thought about this. You must have let Wormtail go on purpose. You demonstrated the function of that cage before. If you really didn't want him to escape, then he wouldn't be able to get away."

Douglas said curiously:

"Then you two aren't angry?"

When Lupin heard this, he didn't know what he was thinking. He tried to close his mouth and suppressed his laughter for a while before saying:

"Padfoot said you're not a good person. If Wormtail were smart, he would have surrendered to your capture. If he escaped, you would have a trick up your sleeve, one that might be even more severe than the Dementor's Kiss..."

I'm curious about what Padfoot has been through to have such an understanding of you."

Douglas pointed at the fireplace and said angrily:

"Slander, blatant slander..."

"Bang bang bang!"

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the office door. Harry's big head appeared in the mirror at the door, and behind it was a group of people, all members of the Charon Detective Agency.

Douglas walked to the door and opened it.

Harry had a smile on his face and was about to say what he had prepared, but Douglas's unfriendly look made him shut his mouth quickly.

"What are you doing together in broad daylight?"

"Do you think you don't need to review or prepare for the exam because you did well in the exam?"

"Holiday? Who told you that you don't have to study during the holidays? Have you finished your homework?"

"Do you think you did well on the test this time?"

"Everyone go back to study, Harry stays!"

The crowd, who were originally in high spirits and came to ask for rewards, all ran towards the stairs.

Harry looked at Ron and Hermione for help, but they gave him a helpless look and left quickly.

A group of people came to the corridor on the next floor, looking up and talking above their heads.

"What's wrong, Professor?"

"Is it because we let the rat go that he's upset with us?"

"I won first place in catching mice last time."

"It's the Aurors' fault this time."

"Yes, if the Aurors hadn't suddenly arrived, we might have caught the mouse!"

"Hermione, do you think we can still get our reward?"

"Ron, you're the vice president, why don't you go up and investigate?"

"..."

Harry lowered his head and followed Douglas into the office.

Only then did he notice that Lupin was also in the office.

Seeing Harry's nervous look, Lupin smiled and said:

"Don't be afraid, Douglas is not targeting you!"

Harry glanced at Douglas, who sat down beside him, and nodded.

Then he began to look at Lupin secretly, trying to match his knowledge with what he had learned. He even suspected that they had made a mistake.

Lupin saw his look, but didn't care. Instead, he pointed to a chair beside him and said:

"Please take a seat first. We'll probably have to wait for a while."

Harry was confused. He looked around and found that Dobby was not there. Did he have to wait for Dobby?

Douglas said unhappily:

"Stop looking and wait for your bastard godfather!"

Harry exclaimed in surprise:

"Sirius Black? Uncle, do you really know where he is?"

Douglas looked at Harry's surprised expression, and suddenly thought of something and felt very happy. Then he said:

“Not only do I know where he is, you’ve seen him.

Tsk tsk, you fed him a lot of bones, threw frisbees for him to catch, and rubbed his head... Haha, what a dog!"

Harry was stunned, feeding bones, throwing Frisbees...

"Padfoot is Black, is he also an Animagus?"

When Lupin heard this, he kept smiling like an aunt.

Douglas nodded and praised:

"I didn't expect you to have such quick brains. Not bad."

Harry had a wry smile on his face and asked:

"Uncle, since you already knew that Blake was innocent and kept him hidden by your side, why did you still ask us to investigate?"

Chapter 253 Harry's Various Gifts (Happy Children's Day)

Douglas said with a fake smile:

"That's a good question. Since you asked, let this be a special holiday assignment for the members of the Charon Detective Agency. Mr. Potter, please inform the other members of your agency later. Oh, and don't forget those students who have already gone home."

Harry originally wanted to ask why the Aurors came at such a coincidence, but now he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

He was afraid that he would ask more questions, so he left not only without the reward, but also with a pile of homework...

Douglas looked at Harry's unconscious retreat and was suddenly in a state of confusion. He then pointed at Lupin and said:

"Come, let me introduce you to this man again, Remus Lupin, a very good friend of your parents. Because of his identity as a werewolf, he has been wandering around for many years. I think you already know this."

Harry opened his mouth and said in surprise:

"Is it really a werewolf?"

Lupin did not shy away from this and said with a smile:

"Yes, a genuine werewolf."

Douglas glared at Harry and said:

"You kid, what werewolf, how can you be so rude? You should call Remus uncle."

Harry quickly called out to Lupin:

"Uncle...Uncle Remus..."

Lupin looked at the thirteen-year-old Harry in front of him, who looked almost exactly like the thirteen-year-old James back then, and suddenly felt a little dazed.

The young man put his hand on his shoulder and said: Remus, smile more, you look like an uncle now...

He responded directly: Oh, James, my eldest nephew...

Before he could continue sighing, he was brought back to his senses by Douglas's series of coughs.

"Remus, the child calls you uncle, don't you show any appreciation?"

Lupin was stunned at first, then thought for a moment and quickly took out a pocket watch from his arms and handed it to Harry.

Harry looked at Douglas first, and then took it after seeing Douglas nod.

Lupin explained:

"This pocket watch has been with me for many years. It not only tells the time, but it can also give you directions if you are lost, as long as you can tell the exact place name. Of course, this function may not be very useful in Hogwarts Castle..."

In addition, it can also be used to find people and objects, automatically release the Iron Armor Charm when attacked, and vibrate when there are dark magic creatures around... However, these all require specific spells to be activated before they can be used..."

Harry looked at the pocket watch in his hand and was suddenly flattered when he heard that it had so many functions. He was thinking about whether he should return it.

Douglas said:

"You can give Harry a whole instruction manual afterwards."

Lupin smiled and said:

"Of course, Harry, please sit down. There's no need to stand there. There are no professors here today, only your elders..."

When talking about elders, Lupin not only used emphasis, but also looked at Douglas.

Harry suddenly understood the situation, tried hard to suppress his laughter, and looked at Douglas eagerly.

"Good afternoon, cousin!"

Douglas rolled his eyes at Lupin first, then saw an inexplicable smile on Harry's face:

"I remember giving you a set of test papers during the summer vacation. How did you do?"

Harry's face, which had just been somewhat smug, suddenly froze.

The person in front of him was not only his cousin, but also a notorious exam and homework fanatic at Hogwarts.

He admitted that he was a little too proud of himself just now. Is it too late to run away now?

Douglas looked at Harry and suddenly felt that while his students were all over the world, his family was suffering. If he hadn't gotten an O in Defense Against the Dark Arts in the final exam, Douglas really wanted to give him some care from his family.

Douglas pointed to a large box next to the desk and said:

"This contains your detective agency's reward. How you distribute it is up to you. Take it with you when you return..."

Harry looked at the box, wondering if it was full of papers.

Then he remembered something else and said:

"Uncle, I made a bet with Draco Malfoy from Slytherin that if we could find the truth, he would pay us twenty Galleons. I'm worried he might not pay. According to the agreement, we need to hire Dobby to go to his house and collect the debt..."

When Wangcai, who was sleeping in the treasure bowl, heard the word "Garlon", he immediately poked his head out of the bowl and looked around, but he didn't see any Garlon or Dobby. His little eyes were full of disappointment.

But Douglas still picked it up from the basin and squeezed it on his knees.

Douglas knew about this from the beginning, so he said casually:

"You can discuss this with Dobby yourself when the time comes, but I don't think Mr. Malfoy will refuse to pay... Dobby going to Malfoy's house to collect the debt is a really great idea."

Just as they were chatting, a voice came from the fireplace:

"Moonface, has Doug come back yet? We have to find...Harry!"

Sirius said this as he stepped out of the fireplace, but before he could finish his words he saw Harry standing in the middle of the office looking at him.

Harry looked at the tall and handsome man in front of him, with black hair hanging in front of his eyes, looking a little unruly. He looked almost the same as he did in old photos, except that he had a beard and was a little fatter. He was also very different from the sloppy and crazy Blake on the wanted poster.

For a moment, both of them stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say.

At this time, Dobby appeared in the fireplace holding a long package. He didn't expect that there was someone beside the fireplace, and the package directly hit Sirius.

Frightened, Duobi quickly apologized:

"I'm sorry sir, I didn't notice you were here."

Sirius finally came to his senses, quickly turned around and took the package from Dobby's hand, and whispered an apology:

"It's not your fault. I forgot you were still here."

Dobby then saw Harry and was about to say hello but was called away by Douglas.

Sirius turned to Harry and said:

"Hi, Harry, I think you should know that I am..."

Harry immediately said:

"You're Padfoot.....Oh no, Sirius Black."

Sirius immediately said excitedly:

"Yes, yes, I'm Padfoot, and I'm also Sirius. You're as smart as James... and I want to thank you for this time."
