Christmas gifts?

This time, it was Kyle's turn to be at a loss.

"What did you just say?" He subconsciously asked again.

"Is it hard to understand?" Sirius smiled and said, "Didn't you think it was strange yesterday?" Why didn't you receive my Christmas gift for you? ”

"I got it." Kyle said, "Isn't that what a firebolt is?" It also helped me pass the first event of the Triwizard Tournament. ”

"No, no, no, that's your gift for being a warrior."

Sirius said, "You don't think what I said in the Headmaster's office is false, then you're wrong, I really prepared a gift that I couldn't send to Hogwarts......"

"Wait a minute." Kyle interrupted him, "Your uncle left you that too?" ”

"No, it's the Black family's property." Sirius said, "But now it's mine, and I have free rein to it." ”

"Forget it." Kyle waved his hand, "The gift of the fire bolt is valuable enough, forget about it, I won't accept it." ”

Kyle didn't know exactly how much it would cost to buy a shop in Diagon Alley, but he was certain that it would never be less than a few thousand Galleons, and if the store was big enough, ten thousand could possibly cost it.

The gift was too expensive for Kyle to accept.

"That's not going to work." Sirius said with a solemn expression, "You've helped me so many times, I'm ......"

"Stop, it's Professor Dumbledore who helped you."

Kyle said, "Whether it's defending you at the Ministry of Magic or picking up Regulus from the cave, he's the one who does the most, and I'm just watching." ”

"You're wrong." Sirius shook his head.

Seemingly tired of standing, he dragged Kyle to Florin's cold drink shop, asked for two hazelnut peanut ice cream, and sat down at the small table in front of the store.

"Or maybe you're underestimating your role in it." Sirius handed one of the ice creams to Kyle and continued:

"Let's talk about my business first, in fact, I was ready to flee, and it was you who made things turn around."

"With Peter Pettigrew, you can always wash away your grievances." Kyle said.

"That's the most interesting part."

Sirius looked at the crowd of people coming and going on the street, "I spoke to Professor Dumbledore once, and he told me that even with Peter Pettigrew, even if all the evidence was put on the surface, it would be difficult for Fudge to do me justice.

"This is a scandal in the Ministry of Magic, and it is even possible that he will kill Peter directly to save face."

"But Fudge didn't do that." Kyle said

"That's because you said something that made Fudge understand that he could get himself out of this." Sirius said solemnly, "I still remember what you said at the time, "If it was you who was the minister at the time, there would definitely not be such a mistake", it was this sentence that made Fudge's attitude change in an instant.

"And Professor Dumbledore has said that neither he nor I would ever think of this, and I agree with that.

"In other words, you've paved the way out, and we just have to walk through it."

Sirius took a long bite of ice cream, pursed his lips, and continued, "And Regulus......

"You found Slytherin's locket, and then we heard from Kreacher about his past.

"If you hadn't found the locket at the time, I would have thrown it away as garbage, and there would have been no aftermath, you know, Kreacher and I had a bad relationship at the time.

By the way, including in front of the cliff, it was also Dumbledore that you called, and I remember you also used a precious phoenix tail feather...... That's a life-saving thing, and it's more than enough to change two shops. ”

"Uh...... You probably don't know. Kyle explained: "I have a good relationship with Fox, and he gave me another one yesterday Christmas. ”

Sirius, though, was like he hadn't heard.

"Take it." He said to himself, "Because you and I can stand in the sun, and Regulus can go home...... I don't know how to express my gratitude to you, and that's the best way Lupin and I can think of. ”

"I really don't need to." Kyle said, "Besides, Harry and I are friends too, and it's just a matter of helping a friend come up with ideas, so you might as well leave the shop to him." ”

"It's Blake's, not mine." Sirius shook his head, "I wouldn't use it anyway, but it's okay to give it to you......

"After all, Regulus is my parents' favorite child, and I must thank them for all of them."

That's what he said, but Kyle still thinks it's a bit exaggerated, the pie that fell from the sky is so big that he gets a little dizzy.

Also, Kyle never had the idea of opening a shop in Diagon Alley after graduation.

Sirius, however, felt like he had already made his decision.

"It's the store's magic contract, and it's yours now." He took out a piece of parchment and slapped it on the table, "If you don't want it, throw it away, I won't take it back anyway."

"As my uncle told me at the beginning, there is no precedent for taking back what Blake has given away."

"Haven't you been kicked out of the house by Blake?" Kyle said quietly.

Sirius had just put up the pure-blood family's shelf, and before he could make a move, he was instantly beaten back to his original form.

He looked a little angry.

"Anyway, I can represent the Black family."

Kyle shook his head, picked up the parchment on the table and glanced at it.

There is only one address on it: 31 Diagon Lane.

Underneath is a complex magic symbol, and just holding it in his hand, Kyle can faintly sense the location of the store.

"You take it back first, and I'll talk about the store after I graduate."

Kyle handed the parchment back, but Sirius didn't see it.

Just as the two are at a stalemate, Kyle stumbles upon a passerby's Daily Prophet.

On the cover, a large photo instantly caught his attention.

Kyle got up and walked over, "Hello, can I take a look at this newspaper?" ”

The wizard was startled by Kyle's sudden appearance, but when he came to his senses, he handed over the newspaper anyway, "Oh, okay, I'll send you, I've read it." ”

"Thank you." Kyle took the newspaper.

"What's wrong?" Sirius also came over.

Kyle didn't speak.

He opened the newspaper and quickly read the articles on the front page before pointing to one of the passages and frowning, "Hagrid may be in trouble." ”

Sirius subconsciously looked over.

"We can exclusively reveal that Professor Hagrid's mother is none other than the giant Friedvafa, whose whereabouts are unknown.

We don't know if the giant inherited this by bloodthirsty and brutal nature, and if Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, informed the students and their parents of all this. ”

"Wait!" Sirius was surprised, "Could it be that Hagrid is a half-blood giant?" ”

"That's for sure, a normal wizard can grow no more than three meters tall." Kyle said, "But the problem is that guessing and being pointed out are two different things, Hagrid's usual behavior at Hogwarts is completely unrelated to bloodthirsty and brutal, and even quite a few people like him, but now ......"

Hearing Kyle say this, Sirius also realizes the seriousness of the matter.

Because there is one of the best examples of this around him, Lupin.

For a year, he was one of the most popular professors at Hogwarts, but when his werewolf identity was revealed...... Even though the school year was safe, he had no choice but to resign and leave.

This stems from the fear of werewolves in people's hearts, which cannot be changed.

And the half-blood giants ...... Truth be told, this identity isn't as scary as a werewolf, but it's pretty bad.

All wizards know that giants have once joined the mysteries and are synonymous with brutality.

"So what now?" He asked.

"I don't know." Kyle slipped the newspaper into the pocket of his robe, "Let's go back to Hogwarts and ask Hagrid about it." ”

"Good!"

Sirius immediately got up and walked briskly towards the Cauldron with Kyle.
