Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 487: Every glass of wine is a joyful agent (Thanks to the profound and endless leader of book friends, plus update 15)

With Dumbledore's help, Sirius finally stood up and walked slowly towards the door.

 As the retrial ended, everything that happened here was like a strong wind, quickly blowing through the entire Ministry of Magic.

So when Sirius walked out of the third courtroom, the corridor was already full of people. Everyone looked at him and applauded without hesitation.

Sirius didn't even know how he walked through the long corridor, got on the elevator, and passed through the hall with the same thunderous applause.

It seemed that a few minutes had passed, or it could have been a few hours. When I came to my senses again, I saw the bustling streets of London in front of me.

 He opened his arms facing the sky and stood for ten full minutes in front of the astonished eyes of passers-by.

 Dumbledore and Kyle behind him did not urge him.

Kyle was thinking about whether to go to Diagon Alley to buy something on the way, but when he looked up, he found that Dumbledore was looking at him with a strange look.

It was a look of apology mixed with pity, but it disappeared in just a blink of an eye.

Looking at Dumbledore with a smile on his face, Kyle didn't think much about it. He just thought that he was a little dazzled after staying in the dark courtroom for too long.

 After all, Dumbledore had done a lot to help Sirius Black be acquitted. There was no reason for him to apologize.

Kyle looked at Sirius again. He was still standing there in the same posture as before, as if he could stand like this all day if no one yelled.

At this time, a man in a suit seemed to regard his actions as some kind of performance art. He hurried past and then turned back and placed a coin on the steps in front of him.

A few minutes later, an owl flew over their heads.

Dumbledore suddenly had a copy of the Daily Prophet in his hand. He found a bench on the side of the road and sat down, opening the newspaper and reading it like an old man walking.

 The front page is a line of eye-catching large characters.

 “Sirius Black is a traitor and a tragic hero!”

There are two photos below, one is his wanted poster, and the other is a picture of everyone in the courtroom applauding him.

 In this article, Sirius is described as a tragic character who has endured in the darkness for twelve years in order to avenge his friends...

"When did they take the photos?" Kyle said in surprise, "I remember that there didn't seem to be anyone holding a camera in the courtroom at that time..."

“Obviously there is, we just didn’t find it.”

Dumbledore said with a smile: "These people are really powerful. In order to prove that I was an old liar, someone even posted a photo of me fighting with others when I was a child... If possible, I really want to buy that photo...

“Let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s go to Diagon Alley first. I kind of want to try the hazelnut and peanut ice cream there.”

Dumbledore stood up and walked over.

Sirius also opened his eyes at this time, put down his aching arms, and after taking a few deep breaths of exhaust fumes from the streets of London, turned around and walked towards the Leaky Cauldron with them.

But after taking just two steps, he turned back, picked up the coin on the ground, and carefully wiped the dust off it.

 “So this is Muggle money, right?”

Kyle nodded and leaned over to take a look.

“A heptagon…it’s a fifty-pence coin, which is worth about two Sickles at Gringotts.”

 “I intend to keep this as a souvenir.” Sirius smiled and put away the coin.

The three of them went all the way to the Leaky Cauldron.

When Dumbledore, who was walking at the front, opened the door, the noisy noise inside stopped instantly.

 Everyone's eyes were fixed on Sirius who was following behind him. I don’t know who started it. There was another burst of applause. Some people stood up and came over and hugged Sirius.

"Oh, Black..." Old Tom came over with a large glass of butterbeer, "Forgive me for keeping your wanted notice before, this glass is for you."

 “Thank you, Tom.” Sirius took the cup and drank it in one gulp.

 He had drank a lot of butterbeer, including in the past two months, and Lupine had brought him a lot of it, but none of them were as sweet as the one he had today.

 “It’s really good.” He licked his lips, “Tom, I suspect you put a joyful agent in it…”

Old Tom smiled and said, "Believe me, every glass of wine you drink from now on will become a joyful drug."

 There was a burst of laughter in the bar.

 After that, he declined invitations from more people to drink and came to Diagon Alley through the entrance to the backyard.

 “How do you feel?” Kyle asked.

"There's nothing better than this." Sirius said with a smile, "Old Tom said he wanted to treat me to drinking for a month. I'm going to come again tomorrow and drink here all day. When the time comes, Old Tom's expression It will definitely be exciting.”

Kyle smiled and said nothing.

It can only be said that Sirius is still too young. He is now the hottest topic. As long as he appears in the Leaky Cauldron, he will definitely attract more people. By then, it will be too late for Old Tom to be happy.

But this is also a win-win situation...

 The three of them turned a corner and came to the main street of Diagon Alley.

  Sirius was like a new student who was going to school tomorrow. He wanted to go into almost every store. After a while, his arms were filled with all kinds of different things.

They were all gifts from the shopkeeper, and they didn’t cost a single Knut.

Thanks to him, Kyle and Dumbledore also got free hazelnut and peanut crumble ice cream.

They first went to Madam Malkin's Robe Shop and customized a new set of robes for Sirius, and then went to Ollivander's and bought a wand for fifteen Galleons.

The wand the new student bought cost seven galleons, and his one was more than double the price. In other words, this was the original price of the wand, and the ones sold to the new students were completely at cost.

While passing by the Quidditch boutique, Sirius also wanted to go in and buy Kyle a Firebolt as a thank you gift.

But Kyle refused.

“You’re welcome, it’s only a few dollars.” Sirius patted his chest, “I bought one for Harry, it was very cheap.”

Kyle still shook his head, "No, I really don't need it."

There is no Quidditch match at Hogwarts this year, so why would he need a Firebolt? Besides, what if there is a new model in the store next year...

 So, let’s wait until next year.

 Throughout the whole afternoon, they visited almost all the shops... Oh, there was one exception.

 Flourish and Blotts Books.

The door of this store seemed to have been placed under a Sirius expulsion spell. He didn't stop for a second and trotted past.

The shopkeeper who received the news was originally standing at the door holding a stack of books, preparing to give them to him as gifts, but in the end he only saw his back as he hurried past.
