Chapter 188: The Best Christmas Gift

Evan and Hermione looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the room became strange.

"This scarf!" Hermione said, her voice getting quieter, "I was going to sew a Gryffindor lion on it, but I couldn't get it, finally"

"Don't worry about this, Hermione!" said with a smile on Hermione's face, "Actually, I like this pattern and this scarf very much. ”

"But it's not as good as the one Qiu Zhang gave you, the sewing is too bad. Hermione's little face was a seductive crimson, and she said nervously, "It's my first time doing this kind of thing, and I'm not very skilled in some places, I should have been"

"Don't you understand, Hermione, this scarf may have a lot of faults and isn't very elaborately made, but it's the first thing I ever received, something that a girl sewed for me with her own hands. In fact, this heart is what touches me the most. ”

Hearing Aven's words, Hermione's face became redder and redder, she lowered her head and couldn't speak, she seemed to be extremely shy.

Seeing Hermione like this, Evan couldn't help but move in his heart, his gaze fell uncontrollably from top to bottom on the girl's exposed skin outside her pajamas. Looking at Hermione's slender, fair wrists and ankles, Evan swallowed, and couldn't explain why, a strange but intense feeling rose from the depths of his heart.

Evan had a feeling that if he did something at this time, Hermione would not object.

"Hermione"

Just as he was about to continue, Harry suddenly looked up and said, "Aven, Hermione, did you see Sirius's gift, why didn't I find it?"

"Sirius's gift?!"

Hearing Harry's reminder, Evan and Hermione were stunned for a moment, and the strange strange feeling disappeared in an instant, and they hurriedly looked down to find it.

In the pile of gifts, they saw gifts from Hagrid, Lupin, and even Professors McGonagall, Flitwick, and Sprout who had written Christmas cards to them, but there were no gifts from Sirius Black.

It couldn't be, but Aven had seen Sirius go to the Owl Post Office and order a firebolt for Harry, which was probably the heaviest Christmas present of the year. No one other than Blake would be generous enough to buy a firebolt for a young wizard, not even Lucius Malfoy.

As the latest and limited-edition world-class broomstick, the Firebolt is staggeringly expensive, even more expensive than all the young wizards' broomsticks combined.

"Why isn't there a gift from Sirius, Professor Lupin?"

Harry stopped halfway through his sentence, and he saw the door to the ward open and Sirius Black walking in with a smile on his face.

Sirius's appearance was different from what Aven, Harry, and Hermione remembered, for the last time they met in the castle just a week ago, Sirius had a thin, emaciated face, and was covered in unkempt, black, long hair.

But now?!

Sirius wore a new sky-blue robe, his hair was short, clean and neat, and his cheeks were plump, which made him look younger, closer to Blake twelve years ago, closer to the handsome image he had before he was captured.

"Sirius?!" Harry sat up from the bed and looked at Blake in disbelief, rubbing his eyes vigorously, thinking he was dazzled.

When Professor Lupin came yesterday, he told them that Sirius was working on the case at the Ministry of Magic, and that the Wizengamot trial had reached a critical juncture, and he couldn't pull away.

But now, what did he see ?!

It was unbelievable that Sirius had appeared in the Hogwarts hospital room and appeared in front of them.

"Merry Christmas, Harry, Aven, Hermione!" Sirius said with open arms, smiling, "How's your three little ones recovering?"

"We're alright, Sirius!" Harry hurriedly jumped out of bed and walked over to give Blake a big hug, followed by Evan and Hermione.

The three of them had smiles on their faces for the first time in a while.

Ever since knowing that Peter Pettigrew was Ron's pet mouse, knowing the truth about all the events of the year, and knowing that Sirius Black was wronged, Aven, Harry, and Hermione have been in a depressed and tense environment.

Be careful in everything you do, for fear that Peter Pettigrew will run away.

This unease reached its peak at the moment when Ron was controlled by Peter Pettigrew, Professor Lupin was accused of assaulting his students, and Sirius was captured by Snape, and almost everyone was overwhelmed.

However, now seeing Sirius swaggering at Hogwarts, the three of them know that everything is over, and they finally succeed in proving Black's innocence.

"Sirius, how are you?" said Harry, his eyes red, tears streaming uncontrollably.

"I'm fine, Harry!" Sirius gently rubbed his head, his face full of kindness and care, "I'm sure you three didn't read the Daily Prophet this morning. Thanks to your efforts and help, I have been acquitted by the Wizengamot, just earlier. ”

Hearing his words, Evan hurriedly flipped through the Daily Prophet mixed in the pile of gifts, and the front page headlines were the smiling Sirius Black and the haggard and miserable Peter Pettigrew, the two of whom were in stark contrast.

Below the photo is the big caption of the article: Blake succeeds in the snow, Peter Pettigrew is convicted of treason and will be imprisoned in Azkaban.

Evan took a brief look, and the article described the trial process of the case, Sirius Black's deeds, Peter Pettigrew's incriminating evidence, and so on.

Considering the impact of this incident, the Wizengamot initiated a special approval process, and after the routine presentation of evidence and questioning, the final vote was made with an astonishingly fast speed. After the Blake case, Peter Pettigrew was put on trial for his other crimes.

"It's a shame that I can't kill Peter Pettigrew with my own hands, but I have to say that it's good now. Sirius said with a smile.

"That's for the best!" Harry wiped away his tears and hugged Sirius tightly again, his body trembling and looking daunted.

Next, the four said a lot.

They chatted non-stop about the events of that year, about what happened in the castle the other day, about the future, and so on.

Harry, in particular, gushed about his plans for the future.

"Alright, alright, you three, these words can be said later, we have time. Sirius smiled and said, "It's Christmas, you don't plan to spend the whole day in the ward." ”

Aven, Harry, and Hermione looked up at Sirius in surprise.

"Come on, I've already met Dumbledore before I came, and he agreed to let me take the three of you out for a walk. Sirius said happily, "I haven't given you Christmas presents yet, but I've got a surprise for each of you." (To be continued.) )
