Harry hurriedly let go and bowed awkwardly: "Teacher, professor!"

"Cough!" Kate coughed softly, "I came here for a walk with my aunt..."

Before she finished speaking, she heard the high-spirited female voice in the room gradually approaching: "What did that kid do, I'll go and see!"

Harry panicked, "Professor, Kate, please leave quickly, my uncle and aunt don't like wizards!"

"Oh?" Catherine pushed her glasses calmly, "I still need to care if they like it or not?"

Soon, Maggie, the Dursleys, and their son Dudley all came out one after another.

"Kate..." Harry grimaced, urging her to leave quickly.

"No way, I can't influence my aunt's opinion." Kate herself was also very helpless, she didn't want to have any interaction with this family, but my aunt was too tough.

Maggie was a tall, tall, middle-aged woman. She was a little bit drunk at the moment. Seeing Harry with two strange women, she yelled, "Boy! Do you know them?"

"This..." Harry replied hesitantly, "They are my professors and classmates."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the Dursleys changed suddenly. Of course they knew what these words meant.

But Maggie didn't know Harry's details, so she laughed loudly: "It's ridiculous that a school for juvenile delinquents still has a professor!"

Before that, in order not to cause trouble, the Dursleys told Maggie that they sent Harry to St. Bruce, a school for juvenile delinquents.

She stared drunkenly at the beautiful Catherine, and asked rudely: "Does your school discipline this kid with a whip?"

"No," Catherine said, taking out her wand, "we use this."

The Dursleys behind were even more frightened. Of course they knew what this little wooden stick was, and even wanted to drag Maggie back.

Just with the strength of the two of them, they couldn't pull a tall Maggie.

"Enough, kid, now take your two... companions and get out of here quickly!"

Vernon Dursley, Harry's uncle blushed, and urged his sister in a threatening tone while pulling his sister.

He originally wanted to use worse language to describe the two wizards in front of him, but he immediately changed the name after meeting Catherine's dangerous eyes.

"Don't pull me!" Maggie still felt that they were playing with her, "Hey, that Professor Lao Shizi, how can you teach people with that kind of stick? Don't you want to demonstrate it?"

Catherine agreed graciously: "Okay, since you want to see it so much."

She raised her wand, as if about to do something to Maggie.

"That's enough!" Mrs. Dursley couldn't bear it anymore, she stopped and threatened sharply, "Please leave my house, immediately, immediately!"

Catherine looked down at her feet, there were still two steps away from the threshold of the Dursleys' house.

"Ma'am," she took a step forward slowly, "Instead of scolding me here, it's better to let your relatives keep their mouths in check, otherwise..."

She smiled slightly: "Recently, I will take a walk around here every day, if I find out that you have students who bully me—"

The Dursleys trembled violently at the same time, looking at her with fear and disgust.

Catherine ignored their gazes, turned around and said to Kate in a good mood: "It's comfortable, go back."

"But they..." Kate twitched, looked at the Dursleys with some hesitation, and then at Harry.

According to her experience, this kind of threat would only work for a while, and as time passed, it was Harry who would suffer.

"It's okay," Catherine gave them a sideways glance, "just use the Oblivion Charm when the time comes."

Ah this...

It's really a once and for all solution.

Although there is suspicion of not treating them as human beings, compared to the verbal violence their family has committed against Harry over the years, it seems acceptable again.

As for their credit for raising Harry, Kate has always separated credit from fault.

And this matter has nothing to do with her in the first place, she is just a theatergoer, and now she has a solution to the follow-up problem, so he doesn't care.

"Then Harry, you go back," she turned around, "I think they won't treat you too badly in a short time."

- Harry gave a wry smile, the Dursleys probably would, but this Aunt Marge would be home for a whole week, and he wasn't sure he could hold back her swear words.

Watching Harry enter the room with the Dursleys, Kate breathed a sigh of relief and put her hands on her hips helplessly: "Auntie, why do I feel that you are more impulsive than a young man with a fresh blood?"

"Is there?" Catherine asked back, "If I were 20 years younger, do you think they would still be able to walk back standing up?"

"...it is illegal to use magic on Muggles."

"But I used to be able to fight the trolls for 10 minutes without losing the wind," she blinked, "the sum of all of them is not enough for me to fight."

Kate's face twitched, so it's because she is too old to fight physically, so she changed from a berserker to a mage?

Chapter 3 Capturing Black

From that day on, Catherine really kept her promise, and would take a walk around Privet Drive every evening.

Kate didn't know how the Dursleys would feel when they saw two wizards hanging around their house every day, but for Harry's sake, she didn't look for Harry again.

A few days later, when the two of them returned home from a walk and hadn't taken off their shoes, Catherine's expression suddenly changed: "There are creatures with magic coming."

She immediately took Kate's hand, and the two of them transformed into an unfamiliar neighborhood together.

"Where is this place?" Kate immediately looked for a nearby street sign, only to find that it said Magnolia Crescent Street.

Isn't this where Harry left home angrily and met the big black dog?

"Let's go find them separately." She suggested immediately.

Under normal circumstances, Catherine would certainly not let an underage wizard find a wanted criminal, but this block is too big.

Moreover, Kate's own strength has far surpassed that of ordinary adult wizards. Even if she encounters Sirius, there is no problem in protecting herself.

She nodded immediately, and the two agreed on a meeting time before they split up.

This neighborhood is not bustling. It's only eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and the surrounding area is already dark.

Kate followed the dim street lights all the way, looking for the narrow and dark alleys.

I don't know how long it took, her feet started to ache, and she felt a strange tingling sensation near an alley, as if someone was staring at her secretly.

She turned on the flashlight with one hand, hid the wand behind her back with the other, and ran quickly towards the dark alley.

In the place illuminated by the light source in the middle, a big black dog was tearing away the food scraps in the trash can. When it sensed someone coming, it raised its head vigilantly.

The moment Kate stared at it, Kate could almost confirm that this dog was Sirius, and this was his Animagus form.

Just judging from the official data, there were only 20 Animagus registered in the 7th century, and none of the others, including Sirius, had been officially registered.

So she should not know who he is.

"It turned out to be a dog. It scared me to death."

She exhaled lightly, put the magic wand behind her back in her trouser pocket, then peeled off the ham sausage she just bought from a passing store, bit half of it herself, and threw the other half to him.

The black dog didn't move, its bright eyes were still staring at her vigilantly.

Kate shrugged helplessly, "It seems that you don't believe me, forget it."

As she spoke, she turned to him and retreated out of the alley step by step until she reached the entrance of the alley, and the ham she had just thrown was also thrown back.

Oh, the vigilance is really strong.

Obviously there is no poison in that ham sausage.

But it doesn't matter, she just needs to wait a little longer.

She stood at the entrance of the alley and waited for seven or eight minutes. She estimated that the time was almost up, and then she walked in happily.

Under the light of the flashlight, one could clearly see that the black dog, who was still in high spirits just now, had fallen powerlessly to the ground, and there was still a sense of disbelief in his frail eyes.

"Are you puzzled, you got tricked even though you didn't eat my food?"

Kate squatted down cheerfully, looked at his messy fur, and rolled her eyes: "Because you don't believe me, puppy."

The ham sausage is indeed not poisonous, and there is even an antidote in it.

Before she entered the alley, she sprinkled the improved version of the sleeping potion that Horace made for her all the way. It only takes a little, and when it evaporates in the air, it can stun an elephant.

If Sirius ate her ham sausage, it would be detoxified instead, and there would be no hidden dangers.

"Actually, even if you eat ham, you will still be contaminated with my special tracking powder. This is a very convenient alchemy product."

In short, whether Sirius ate her sausage or not, she always had countermeasures.

Smiling and looking at the big dog with angry eyes, Kate waited for a while, and then heard Catherine's call from outside.

She responded, and after a short while, Catherine trotted all the way over. Seeing that she was safe, she was relieved: "Didn't you say that we will meet at the meeting point in an hour?"

"But I found him." Kate pointed to the big black dog in front of her.

"He?" Catherine noticed that she didn't use a pronoun referring to animals, and leaned over in confusion, took out her wand and tested it on the black dog.

Soon, Catherine's complexion changed a little.

As an extremely advanced transfiguration technique, Animagus cannot be detected by ordinary spells, but there are too many places on Sirius that can prove that he is not an ordinary black dog.

"It's wet all over, and it hasn't rained in London recently, which means that he has been in the water, and his body is full of scars, but they are all scars caused by magic."

Kate spoke in a calm voice, "He also touched the police sentry you set against magicians and appeared near Harry's house. I think he may be Sirius in all likelihood."

The black dog on the ground suddenly widened its eyes.

Although Catherine was surprised by her reasoning, she still accepted the guess: "If you escape from Azkaban by turning into a black dog, you can indeed escape the pursuit of the dementors."

You know, dementors can only distinguish between human emotions, but not animals, so it is theoretically feasible to become an animal and escape from prison.

"What are you going to do?" Catherine asked subconsciously, "Give him to the Ministry of Magic?"

As soon as the words fell, the black dog, which was already immobile, began to struggle violently.

However, under the influence of the powerful sleeping potion, the harder he struggled, the easier it was for the drug to work.

After a while, his struggle became weaker and weaker, and finally he couldn't control the erosion of the medicine, and fell asleep with his eyes open.

"Look, he not only understands what we say, but even resists so fiercely." Kate stretched out her hand and closed his eyes for him.

Catherine saw that her attitude was wrong, and asked tentatively, "You don't mean to take him home, do you?"

This is a wanted criminal, how could he bring him home!

"Can't you?" Kate raised her head and saw Catherine's disapproval written all over her face, so she spread her hands, "Okay, I'll listen to you, and I won't send you to the manor."

If you don't send it home, you can send it to other places.

Catherine always felt that she had to do something next, and just as she was about to ask a question, she felt dizzy for a while.

"Oh, by the way," Kate stood up and supported her in good time, "I gave him some medicine just now, and after it evaporated in the air, it seems to have affected you as well."

what? !

Catherine's head was in a state of confusion at the moment, and she heard her good niece say: "The antidote is the half ham at the entrance of the alley, would you like to eat some?"

She opened her eyes wide and wanted to curse, but her head tilted and fell directly on Kate.

Chapter 4 The Trapped Catherine

When Catherine woke up, she was already lying on her bed.

She was still dazed for a while before recalling the scene before she fainted.

That little bastard dared to drug her!

Immediately, she was so angry that Catherine got up immediately, put on her coat hastily, and rushed out of the room, just in time to see her good niece carrying dishes on the dining table.

"Auntie, you're awake!" Kate didn't feel like she was going to be beaten at all, and greeted her with a smile, "I just made lunch, come and taste it."

Lunch?

Only then did Catherine look out the window belatedly. The sun was shining brightly, and it was noon.

She wanted to reprimand Kate, but her stomach was so weak that she couldn't walk anymore when she smelled the aroma of the food on the table.

After being silent for a while at the dining table, she sat down according to her inner thoughts, picked up a plate of pasta at random, and ate two mouthfuls.
