Chapter 486: Every Cup of Wine Is a Joy Elixir (Thanks to the far-reaching and endless alliance leader of the book friends, plus 1/5)
With Dumbledore's help, Sirius finally got up and walked slowly towards the door.
As the retrial ended, everything that happened here quickly swept through the Ministry of Magic like a violent wind.
Therefore, when the little wolf walked out of the third courtroom, the corridor was already full of people, and everyone looked at him and gave their applause without hesitation.
Sirius didn't even know how he had walked down the long hallway, how he had gotten into the elevator, and through the halls of the same thunderous applause.
It seemed like a few minutes, maybe a few hours, and by the time I came back to my senses, I was already bustling with people on the streets of London.
He stood for a full ten minutes with his arms outstretched to the sky, under the stunned eyes of pedestrians.
Dumbledore and Kyle behind him didn't rush either.
Kyle was thinking about whether to go to Diagon Alley for a while to buy something, but when he looked up, he saw Dumbledore looking at him with a strange look.
It was a look of apology mixed with pity, but it was gone in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the smiling Dumbledore, Kyle didn't think much about it, just thought that he had been in the dimly lit courtroom for too long and was a little dazzled.
After all, Sirius Black can be acquitted, Dumbledore has done a lot of work, and he has no reason to apologize.
Kyle looked at Sirius again, standing there in his previous position, as if he could stand like this all day if no one screamed.
At this moment, a man in a suit seemed to take his actions as some kind of performance art, hurried over and turned back, and placed a coin on the steps in front of him.
After a few more minutes, an owl flew over their heads.
Dumbledore suddenly had a copy of the Daily Prophet in his hand, and he found a bench on the side of the road and sat down, opened the newspaper as if he were walking with an old man.
The front page is a line of bold and large letters.
"Sirius Black, a traitor or a tragic hero!"
There are two photos below, one of his wanted warrant and one of the courtroom with everyone applauding him.
In this article, Sirius is described as a tragic figure who endures twelve years in the shadows in order to avenge his friend......
"When did they take the photos." Kyle was surprised, "I remember there wasn't like there was anyone with a camera in the courtroom......"
"Apparently there is, but we just didn't find it."
Dumbledore said with a smile: "These people are really powerful, and in order to prove that I am an old liar, someone even released a picture of me fighting with others when I was a child...... I'd love to buy that picture if I could......
"Let's go to Diagon Alley first, I'm kind of tempted to try the hazelnut peanut crumbled ice cream there."
Dumbledore got up and walked over.
Sirius opened his eyes at this time, lowered his somewhat sore arm, and after inhaling a few puffs of exhaust air from the streets of London, turned around and walked with them towards the Leaky Cauldron Bar.
But after taking two steps, he turned back, picked up the coin on the ground, and carefully wiped the dust off it.
"So it's Muggle money, right?"
Kyle nodded, leaning over to take a look.
"Heptagon...... It's a fifty pence coin, which is worth about two sicos in Gringotts. ”
"I'm going to keep it as a memento." Sirius smiled and put the coin away.
The three of them made their way to the Leaky Cauldron Bar.
When Dumbledore, who was at the front, pushed open the door, the noise inside stopped instantly.
All eyes were glued to Sirius, who was following him.
I don't know who started it, but there was another round of applause, and some people got up and walked over and hugged Sirius.
"Oh, Black......" Old Tom came over with a large glass of butterbeer, "forgive me for having your wanted warrant hanging before, this one is for you." ”
"Thanks, Tom." Sirius took the cup and drank it down.
He had drunk a lot of butterbeer, including a lot of it from Lupin two months ago, but none of them were as sweet as today.
"That's good." He licked his lips, "Tom, I suspect you put a euphoria in it......"
Old Tom smiled, "Believe me, every glass of wine you drink after that will turn into a euphoria." ”
There was a burst of laughter in the bar.
He then declined invitations for more people to drink, and made his way to Diagon Alley through the entrance to the backyard.
"How does it feel?" Kyle asked.
"It doesn't get much better than that." Sirius smiled and said, "Old Tom said he was going to invite me to drink for a month, and I'm going to come back tomorrow and drink here all day, and Old Tom's expression will be wonderful by then." ”
Kyle smiled and didn't speak.
It can only be said that Sirius is still too young, he is the hottest topic now, as long as he appears in the Leaky Cauldron, he will definitely attract more people, and it will be too late for Old Tom to be happy.
But it's also a win-win......
The three of them turned a corner and came to the main street of Diagon Alley.
Sirius is like a freshman entering school tomorrow, and almost every store wants to go in. In a few moments, he was holding all kinds of different things in his hands.
It was all given by the owner, and it didn't cost a single nat.
Thanks to him, Kyle and Dumbledore also received free hazelnut peanut crumbled ice cream.
They first went to Madame Morkin's robe shop and custom-made a new set of robes for Sirius, and then went to Ollivander and bought a wand for fifteen Galleons.
The freshman bought the wand for seven Galleons, and his one was more than double the price, or this was the original price of the wand, and the ones sold to the freshmen were completely the cost price.
While passing by the Quidditch boutique, Sirius goes in to buy Kyle a firebow bolt as a thank you.
Kyle refuses, though.
"You're welcome, it's just a few bucks." Sirius patted his chest, "I bought one for Harry, it's cheap." ”
Kyle still shook his head, "No, I really don't need it." ”
There is no Quidditch tournament at Hogwarts this year, so what does he want a fire bolt for, and besides, what if there is a new one in the store next year......
So, let's wait until next year.
In the afternoon, they visited almost all the shops...... Oh, there is one exception.
Blotted Bookstore.
The door of the shop seemed to have been set up with Sirius's expulsion spell, and he didn't stop for a second, trotting past.
The shopkeeper who got the news was standing at the door with a stack of books, ready to give it to him as a gift, but he only saw his back running past.
