Chapter 236 Recognition

Early the next morning, Levin went to the auditorium to have breakfast as usual.

Then he discovered that the auditorium was exploding today, and the little wizards were all talking about it.

What stumped Ronald and Malfoy was exposed?

Who let it slip?

Levin wanted to eat melon with great interest, so he came to the long table of Ravenclaw and wanted to find the little melon-eating princess beside him, Zhang Qiu.

Unexpectedly, everyone was staring at him along the way.

This made Levin even more confused.

It wasn't until Zhang Qiu looked at him with a complicated expression and handed over the newspaper in his hand that Levin suddenly realized.

Good guy, you are eating melon on your own head.

The front page headline of the "Daily Prophet" reported on Sirius's trial yesterday.

"Twelve Years as a Mouse: The former hero turns out to be the real murderer!"

The Ministry of Magic held a trial yesterday, and Sirius Black was acquitted. The real murderer of that year was someone else...

"We are doing our best to improve the laws and regulations, and at the same time try to make up for the mistakes made during the era of Barty Crouch Sr." Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge said this morning, "I beg the wizarding community to forgive him, after all, what happened in special period."

Levin flipped through it quickly and found that not only the front page headlines, but almost the entire newspaper were describing yesterday's trial and the truth of that year.

I can't help it, who said all this is too dramatic?

"Thirteen years in prison, Sirius was vindicated", "The Animagus was able to hide from the Dementors", "On the Limitations of the Magical Law Commission"...

The newspaper was illustrated with numerous pictures.

There are many photos of Sirius and Peter Pettigrew when they were young, photos of him in prison, photos of his escape, and even photos of Peter's Animagus transformation.

Many of these photos are out of reach of reporters, and you can tell at a glance that they are from within the Ministry of Magic.

Gianna and Rita obviously have a great time working together.

Occupying the center of the page, and also the largest one, is the classic scene from yesterday's trial - Sirius knelt down crying and Pettigrew's eyes were filled with despair.

The two of them were kneeling and sitting together, one was crying and the other was panicking, one was full of hope and the other was full of despair, one was walking towards rebirth and the other was heading towards death - the best thing was that they were both on the quilt, separated only by a wall.

It can be said that the contrast is full.

Levin believes that if this photo were placed among Muggles, it would definitely be nominated for a Pulitzer.

Levin browsed the newspapers while eating his sandwich.

He didn't expect that Gianna would actually involve him during the promotion process.

Regarding his role in this incident, Rita Skeeter wrote it so clearly that it was almost as if she had experienced it herself--because those contents were what he told Gianna himself.

No wonder everyone looked at me so hotly when I came in just now.

Penelope specially came to tell him that just this morning, the number of young wizards who signed up to join the "Erudition Society" hit a new high, and they were all coming for him.

It seems that this is another wave of live advertising.

When he finished his meal and wanted to leave the auditorium, a voice stopped him - it was Harry!

"Levin, thank you for helping Sirius." Harry walked over with a complicated look on his face.

He thought of the rumors he heard at the Three Broomsticks,

At that time, he thought that his parents were killed because of Sirius' betrayal.

He had hated Sirius so much back then.

Who would have thought that in the end, he would actually stay in the same room with the real traitor for three years!

And this time, the person who helped Sirius regain his life was still Levin Green.

"It doesn't matter, anyone who knows about this kind of thing will do it." Levin smiled and said, "I just happened to meet him at the right time. Besides, Blake has already negotiated the remuneration with me, so you don't need to say any extra thanks. .”

"But no matter what, you saved Sirius and found my parents' real enemy."

Harry stubbornly gave Levin a grateful hug, which made Levin feel a little helpless.

Levin wanted to tell Dumbledore that he was not deliberately approaching his savior, but that the other party was determined to get close to him.

This time when I met Harry, he was unexpectedly alone, not with Ronald and Hermione.

Levin could sense that it wasn't that Ronald didn't come, but that he was hiding behind a corner in the distance and didn't want to see him.

He can understand,

After all, Ronald made a huge fool of himself in front of him during this period.

First, he was discovered by Levin when he was covered in feces.

Then it was revealed by Levin that he had slept in the same bed with a greasy middle-aged pudgy man who turned into an ugly mouse for so many years - he even kissed each other many times.

If anyone sees his predicament, and more than once, I am afraid that I will not be able to help but give him a forgetting spell.

As for Hermione, the girl still has not reconciled with Ronald, so naturally she will not stay with them.

Just then, Levin noticed another person coming from a distance.

He is tall and has a mustache, and he looks like an adult wizard from outside.

"Sirius Black!" Ronald exclaimed in surprise.

Sirius was staring hard at Harry with his dark gray eyes.

He was still as thin as he was on the day of the trial, but he was quite well-dressed at this time.

His hair and beard are no longer dirty, they are very neatly groomed, he is wearing an expensive and decent coat, his mental state is much better, and he even sprays cologne.

Even if he has not returned to his best condition, he can still vaguely see some of his former chic and handsomeness.

But at this time, there was a tension on his face that was difficult to describe in words.

In this regard, Harry was the same.

Harry didn't know what kind of expression he had on his face, anticipation, flinching, worry... In short, it was probably not very appropriate, because he felt that his hands and feet were stiff.

In any case, after what seemed like a very quick walk and what seemed like a long walk, Harry finally arrived in front of Sirius.

"Hello, Harry!" said Sirius, "I am Sirius O'Lynn Black, but I - I don't know if anyone has ever told you that I am your godfather."

"Yes... I think I know." Harry looked into Sirius's eyes with curiosity and expectation.

The Sirius I saw in the newspaper before was so crazy and angry, with a sallow face and a gloomy expression.

He was also worried about whether his godfather was easy to get along with.

Now it seems that my worries are unnecessary.

Sirius seemed relieved and smiled, "As the godfather, I brought some gifts, bought based on Levin's suggestion, to see if you like them!"

Blake said, giving Harry a big bag,

When Harry opened it, he found a bag full of prank props, including dung bombs, burping candy, frog egg soap, a nose-biting teacup, Dr. Fiddler's automatic ignition, and magical fireworks that bloomed when water appeared. They were all bought from Zuko's Joke Shop. .

How could a young wizard not like these toys?

Harry looked at the prank props in the bag with admiration, and suddenly thought of something, so he shouted: "Firebolt!"

Ronald looked at Harry in surprise.

"Hermione guessed before that you gave me the Firebolt, right?" Harry raised his head and looked at Sirius, expecting his answer.

"Yes, I sent the Firebolt to you. I sent the order directly to Owl Post Office. I used your name, but asked them to take it from Gringotts' 711 Way Vault--my own vault. You got gold. Please think of it as your thirteenth birthday gift from your godfather."

Sirius smiled.

"Ha!" Ronald said triumphantly, "You see! There is no such thing as a curse! Hermione was wrong.

"But Hermione did guess it was from him," Harry reminded.

At this time, his heart was extremely excited. Sirius did not forget to give him a birthday gift when he was on the run. For the first time, he felt the love from his relatives!

At this moment, a small, gray thing suddenly jumped on Sirius's shoulder, tilting its head and looking at them.

Ronald looked closely with interest and found that it was a thin owl.

As if sensing Ronald's gaze, the owl went straight to Ronald and landed directly on Ronald's palm.

"Ouch!"

The little owl that was hooting happily in his hand pecked Ronald's finger, which seemed to be a way of intimacy.

"Ronald, maybe you are willing to adopt this owl, because due to my fault, you lost the mouse." Sirius looked at Ronald with a smile.

Ronald's eyes widened. The little owl was still shouting excitedly.

".~Adopt it?" he said dubiously, staring at the owl carefully for a while, "Thank you [but...this is a real owl, right? Isn't it someone's animagus?"

Harry and Sirius looked at him and both laughed.

"This is definitely good enough for me!" Ronald said happily, "It belongs to me.

"By the way, there's this!" Sirius took out a piece of parchment from his pocket and handed it to Harry.

Harry scanned it quickly and felt as if he had drank a bottle of hot butterbeer in one gulp. His whole body was warm and filled with contented happiness.

It read: I, Sirius Black, Harry Potter's godfather, hereby grant his permission to go to Hogsmeade for the weekend.

He handed the parchment to Ronald, "Great, now you can go to Hogsmeade with me openly."

Ronald yelled happily, and then suddenly covered his mouth.

Sirius smiled happily at the side, "Don't be nervous, I know James has an invisibility cloak, and we used it like you did!"

Nostalgia flashed across Sirius's eyes, that time was his happiest day.

Thinking of this, Sirius suddenly became hesitant.

"That's right...your parents appointed me to be your guardian," Black said dully, "in case anything happens to them..."

Harry waited for him to continue. Did Blake mean what he thought he meant?

"Of course. I'd understand if you wanted to live with your aunt and uncle," Blake said. "But... well... think about it. I've recovered. Reputation...if you want a king...a different home...)"

Harry felt something explode inside him.

"What - living with you? Leaving the Dursleys?"

"Of course, I don't think you would like it," Blake said quickly, "I understand, I just think I would..."

"Are you crazy?" Harry said, his voice suddenly hoarse, just like Black's. "Of course I want to leave the Dursleys! Do you have a house? When can I move in?"

"You do?" Blake asked, "Really?"

"Yeah, I'm serious!" Harry jumped up,

Black felt that today was the happiest day in his thirteen years. He laughed and patted Harry on the shoulder, just like he patted James back then.

"I have to leave, Harry. I will come to take you home when you are on vacation." Sirius said reluctantly.

Harry nodded repeatedly. He was already calculating in his mind how long it was until summer vacation - this was completely different from his previous purpose and mood of calculating how long it was until summer vacation.

"By the way!" Sirius had just taken a few steps when he suddenly turned around and looked at Harry, "You should spend more time with Levin at school, he is a great friend.

Ronald looked at Sirius who was walking away, then glanced at Harry, and he was about to speak honestly.

Looking at Owl's face, in the end he still didn't say anything bad about Levin.

"Next time we go to Hogsmeade, we can have fun." Ronald played with the little owl in his hand and couldn't put it down.

Harry also touched the parchment signed by Sirius and smiled, "It's great to leave the Dursleys' house!"
