Professor of Gemology at Hogwarts

"It seems we are destined!" Arnold patted Gray on the shoulder.

"Hello, Maurice, but now is not the time to greet each other." Hill was wearing a pair of glasses. She took out a small notebook from her pocket and took a look at it. "We are in the wrong place, Arnold, Privet Drive." The matter on No. 4 has been dealt with, and now you come to No. 2?"

"Harry Potter must have cast magic here again, right? Otherwise Tracer wouldn't have reminded him here!" Arnold looked around, "He ran quite fast. He is indeed the savior Harry Potter." special--"

Arnold was halfway through speaking when he suddenly stopped and began to look at Gray.At this time, Gray was looking at the two of them without saying a word, feeling extremely depressed.

"Could it be that you used magic next to Potter?"

"I was passing by..." Gray replied coldly.

"Okay, Arnold." Hill said seriously, "The minister has already said that Potter used magic, and we all pretended that nothing happened, but -"

"Okay! Okay! You've said it, right? You just said - 'Nothing happened', right? The minister has told us not to care about this matter, why didn't you force me to come here? ?”

"Don't you understand what I mean? Yes, we pretended that nothing happened in the case of Potter's misuse of magic, but this does not conflict with us coming to the scene to investigate whether there were any accidents caused by magic." Hill frowned, She spoke a little louder.

"Ah, Miss Hill! What you say now sounds nice. Do you know how exhausted I was from working alone when you took leave for a month?" Arnold was dissatisfied, "It happened to be the end of June. By the end of July, it will be a full month of summer vacation, and the little wizards on vacation are having fun! If I had your mentality, I might not be able to finish my work until now!"

"Don't confuse things, okay? Let me ask you, was anyone injured in Potter's incident this time? If we hadn't taken a look, his aunt would have flown out of the universe by now, right?" Hill The sound became louder.

"Don't just focus on this one thing and say, am I dissatisfied with you just because of today's incident with Potter? I am dissatisfied with the fact that you handle everything with such a rigid and serious attitude."

It was the first time that Gray had seen such a heated argument, and he felt like he couldn't get a word in.

"Starting to confuse right and wrong again!" Hill said, "It was you who started the conflict by focusing on this matter!"

"Wait a minute -" Arnold tilted his head and looked at the bushes to the side, "There is a poor stray dog ​​here, Merlin. He is so thin that he can't even have a good rest - can we stop arguing? It's so pitiful. Oh, it makes the ears of small animals suffer——"

Arnold looked at the big black dog with sympathy.

Gray looked over and saw that Sirius had not left yet, but was hiding aside and listening to their quarrel. When he heard Arnold talking about himself, he silently took a few steps back, ready to run away at any time.

"Here we go again..." Hill tried to keep his tone calm, "After he finished explaining his confusing logic, he started to forcefully change the subject! You are so capable of confusing right and wrong, why don't you go to Amelia to argue, huh? See if she can scold you into submission."

Sirius' ears perked up again at the name Amelia.

Gray felt that this was a good opportunity, but he couldn't let him run away again. After all, he couldn't bear to see him wandering the streets.

"Don't scare it away -" Gray said, "To be honest, I just saw this big black dog. It was really pitiful. I'm going to take it back as a pet."

Arnold looked at him very strangely: "You work at Hogwarts, what kind of pets do you need?"

"I also need company -" Gray said, "I don't want to be a lonely professor."

"It's better to find someone to accompany you..." Hill muttered in a low voice as she lowered her head and wrote work records in a small book.

"Tch... In my opinion, being a student is not naughty enough to allow you to have the leisure to raise a pet. Besides, where do you keep such a big one?" Arnold glanced at the small black alley, "Oh, it seems to be leaving. , tsk tsk, it’s not interested in you.”

"Bring it to Hogwarts and give it to Hagrid to raise, and there are many companions in the school, right?" Gray raised his voice, "There are cats, toads, and rabbits - even There’s that fat rat from the Weasley family! Potter and Weasley often visit Hagrid. It’s better to live in harmony with them than to be homeless, right?”

The big black dog suddenly stopped.

"I got it, I got it! Why are you shouting so loudly..." Arnold glanced at Hill, "Besides, getting louder doesn't improve your persuasiveness. Some people should know that, right?"

Hill stopped writing, tapped the pen twice on the notebook, frowned and glanced at Arnold: "Who are you alluding to?"

"Don't be so sentimental——"

"I don't want to argue with you anymore. It's better for us to get back to the office in time. There is probably another accident waiting to be dealt with." Hill put the small notebook into his pocket.

"That won't work. We have to discuss it seriously and be honest about our attitude!" Arnold joked.

"Are you leaving or not?" Hill wanted to take out his wand and point it at Arnold's nose.

Arnold's mouth didn't stop until he was finally dragged away by Hill.

Gray turned around. The big black dog was still there.

"Would you like to come with me?" Gray slowly approached it, "Poor dog..."

The dog glanced at Gray, but did not retreat. Instead, he hesitated to step forward. It stayed where it was, taking a step with its paws but then retracting it.

Gray took advantage of him to let his guard down and took a step forward while drawing out his wand: "Follow me!"

"Quickly imprisoned!"

A thick rope shot out from the tip of Gray's wand, and the big black dog had no time to react and was tied up directly.

"Woof! Woof -" it struggled and rolled on the ground, shouting continuously.

The sound spread throughout the residential area of ​​Privet Drive.

"Stop barking!" Gray picked up its tail (because it couldn't bite it) and apparated to a corner of the bushes in a park outside London - after all, he knew those inconspicuous things by heart when he worked at the Ministry of Magic. corner of.

The big black dog fell heavily to the ground and struggled continuously.

"I know who you are—" Gray said, "Sirius Black."

The dog suddenly froze. It twisted twice more and then stopped moving.

"Stop pretending." Gray looked at the dark grass. There was no one around him. "You used Animagus to escape from Azkaban, right? I'm going to send you back to Azkaban. You deserve it. You will never be allowed to hurt Potter—"

"Wait!" The big black dog quickly transformed into a human, "Damn it! This rope is too tight——"

Gray waved his wand and slightly lengthened the rope, but it still tied him tightly without any room for movement.
