The Wizengamot's verdict against Peter Pettigrew was mixed, with many people unhappy with the outcome and believing that Peter should be sentenced to death.

Kill him outright, or have the Dementors suck his soul out

When the truth of the incident was first made public, such opinions were very popular.

As time passed, the wizards calmed down, and some began to think that this was too cruel, even if Peter Pettigrew deserved it, and the Dementor kiss was too inhumane, and the number of wizards who held this view gradually gained the upper hand.

However, the imprisonment of Peter in the Azkaban Wizard Prison was not reassuring, after all, there were examples of Sirius escaping before.

Even though the Ministry of Magic has repeatedly assured that Peter Pettigrew will be kept under strict control.

The outside world is still full of doubts about this, they don't believe Fudge and the Ministry of Magic.

In this case, wizards became increasingly curious about Sirius, the only wizard to have managed to escape from the Dementor-guarded Azkaban.

After learning that today's special issue at the Hogwarts Wizardry and Wizardry headquarters at 36 Diagon Alley would be the first to reveal an exclusive report on Sirius's escape, many wizards lined up early to wait for the store to open.

In addition to these wizards with a curious mentality, many more people simply worship Sirius.

Just like the worship of Lockhart a year ago, after the truth became public, the heroic Sirius became the object of worship by many.

Unlike the Muggle world, the wizarding world worships power, and wizards need heroes.

After Lockhart's true colors were revealed, people began to look for a new partner to replace him, and Sirius appeared to fill this gap.

He is a worthy hero, a fighter against the dark forces.

Especially since this new hero is still very handsome, everything is even better, and many female wizards of Mrs. Weasley's age worship him madly.

Today's signing is Sirius' first public appearance since he was found not guilty.

Although it was the last day of the Christmas holidays, his admirers spontaneously gathered here to meet Sirius and get his autograph.

In the crowd, there were also many underage wizards. They weren't here for Sirius, but for the Weasley magic tricks that were about to be sold on the first floor of the store, as well as other fun magical items made by the young wizards of Hogwarts.

In the newspapers, Evan advertised almost every item.

His strategy was so successful that it mobilized almost the entire wizarding world.

At this time, a long line formed outside the store, all the way to the corner of the street, and there was no end in sight, and more and more people were joining in.

"Relax, Sirius, you just have to sit here and sign, it's easy. Evan noticed that Sirius seemed a little uneasy.

"I'd rather fight the Death Eaters than do this again. Sirius gripped the quill in his hand, and almost broke it with too much force.

Unlike Lockhart, he hasn't yet adapted to the feeling of being in the center of the camera.

"Harry, Ron, and Hermione and I will help you, and the first floor will be sold to Fred, George, Ginny, Dobby, and Kreacher. "Especially Dobby and Kreacher, you two have to work hard to get used to it, and you will be in charge of the day-to-day operations and sales from today onwards." ”

"Yes, sir!" said Dobby excitedly, for the first time he had done such a thing.

Kreacher didn't answer, he looked suspiciously at the Weasley fireworks in front of him, as if he was studying the thing, and looking at his eyes, it was obvious that what was happening in front of him was ridiculous, and if it weren't for Sirius's orders, he would have turned away long ago.

In Aven's plan, due to financial constraints, he did not plan to hire too many people, and the compilation of newspaper manuscripts could still be completed as before, and the store should be able to cope with the usual care of Lupin, Dobby, and Kreacher.

As for Sirius, he was going to help out in the shop as well.

But this morning, he received a letter from Dumbledore inviting him to replace Lupin as the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts.

He accepted the invitation, and everyone was very happy to learn the news.

Harry, in particular, was most excited, he couldn't believe that his godfather was going to become the new Dark Arts Defense Professor, his favorite class.

Evan was also looking forward to Snape's expression when he saw Sirius.

Unlike Professor Lupin, who has a mild-mannered personality and is unwilling to fight, with Sirius's fiery personality, he will definitely go toe-to-toe with Snape.

Needless to say, the second half of the semester will be very exciting. It's not just between the two of them, it's also a rivalry between Gryffindor and Slytherin, and this year's House Cup is sure to be fierce.

In addition, Sirius promised Evan to help him gain the approval of the centaur tribe in the Forbidden Forest and obtain the key to the treasure of Gryffindor.

For this item that can increase his magic power, Evan can't wait for it.

In fact, after learning the news, in addition to Evan and Harry, the happiest people are Fred and George, and the more chaotic the school, the more opportunities they have to play pranks. Many of the hoax products that Mrs. Weasley and Hermione considered dangerous and banned from selling each other could also be sold.

"You guys are ready, it's about time, we're going to open our doors. Evan walked over and helped Lupin open the door.

Dobby, the house-elf, stood nervously behind the counter on the first floor, watching the crowd pour in like a tidal wave, talking excitedly, and rushing straight to Sirius in the center of the hall.

Just like Lockhart's on-site signings, wizards buy a special issue of Hogwarts Witchcraft and Wizardry, and Sirius signs it and takes a photo with everyone.

Sirius smiled stiffly, struggling to cope with the matter.

While queuing, the wizards looked curiously at the dazzling array of goods on the counter, many of which were very interesting and practical, and it was hard for everyone to believe that these were the works of the young wizards, and after seeing the things they were interested in, they would also buy them.

In front of the counter that Fred and George were in charge of, there was an early crowd of little wizards who bought prank products, and their products were so popular that they were quickly swept away.

Evan noticed that Fred and George would sneak behind Mrs. Weasley and Hermione's back to buy a little wizard to buy their goods and stuff a thick order list full of things that had previously forbidden the two of them from selling.

All in all, the hodgepodge of shops was a success, and even the Muggle items that Evan had placed in the corner attracted a lot of people to buy them.

Although the number of people is small, but the trickle is long, for wizards, these are very novelties, and the number of interested people will definitely increase. (To be continued.) )
