Chapter 487 Every glass of wine is a joy potion (thanks to the book friend Shenyuan Wuxian, additional chapter 15)
With the help of Dumbledore, Sirius finally stood up and walked slowly out the door.
With the end of the retrial, everything that happened here was like a gust of wind, quickly sweeping across the entire Ministry of Magic.
So when Sirius walked out of the third courtroom, the corridor was already full of people, and everyone looked at him and gave him applause without hesitation.
Sirius didn't even know how he walked through the long corridor, how he got on the elevator, and how he walked through the hall with thunderous applause.
It seemed that a few minutes had passed, or maybe a few hours, and when he came to his senses again, he was already in front of the bustling streets of London.
He opened his arms to the sky and stood for a full ten minutes in the stunned eyes of passers-by.
Dumbledore and Kyle behind him didn't urge him.
Kyle was thinking about whether to buy something on the way to Diagon Alley, but when he looked up, he found that Dumbledore was looking at him with a strange look.
It was a look of apology mixed with pity, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Looking at Dumbledore with a smile on his face, Kyle didn't think much about it, just thinking that he had stayed in the dim courtroom for too long and was a little dazzled.
After all, Dumbledore had made a lot of efforts to get Sirius Black acquitted, so there was no reason for him to feel sorry.
Kyle looked at Sirius again, he was still standing there in the same posture as before, as if he could stand there all day if no one called him.
At this time, a man in a suit seemed to regard his action as some kind of performance art. He hurried over and turned back, and put a coin on the steps in front of him.
A few minutes later, an owl flew over their heads.
Dumbledore suddenly had a copy of the Daily Prophet in his hand. He found a bench by the roadside and sat down. He opened the newspaper and started reading it like an old man taking a walk.
The front page had a line of eye-catching big words.
"Sirius Black, is he a traitor or a tragic hero!"
There were two photos below, one was his wanted poster, and the other was a picture of everyone in the courtroom applauding him.
In this article, Sirius was described as a tragic figure who had endured in the dark for twelve years in order to avenge his friend...
"When did they take the photo?" Kyle said in surprise, "I remember that there didn't seem to be anyone holding a camera in the courtroom at that time..."
"Obviously there was, but we didn't find it."
Dumbledore said with a smile: "These people are really powerful. In order to prove that I was an old liar, someone even released a photo of me fighting with others when I was a child... If I could, I really want to buy that photo...
"Let's not talk about this. Let's go to Diagon Alley first. I want to try the hazelnut and peanut ice cream there. "
Dumbledore stood up and walked over.
Sirius also opened his eyes at this time, put down his sore arms, took a few deep breaths of London street exhaust, and turned around to walk towards the Leaky Cauldron with them.
But after just two steps, he turned back, picked up the coin on the ground, and carefully wiped off the dust on it.
"So this is a Muggle coin, right?"
Kyle nodded and leaned over to take a look.
"Heptagon... This is a fifty-pence coin, which can be exchanged for about two Sickles at Gringotts."
"I plan to keep it as a souvenir. "Sirius smiled and put away the coin.
The three of them came to the Leaky Cauldron.
When Dumbledore, who was walking in front, pushed open the door, the noisy noise inside stopped instantly.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Sirius, who was following behind him.
I don't know who started it, but there was another round of applause. Some people stood up and walked over to hug Sirius.
"Oh, Black..." Old Tom came over with a large glass of butterbeer, "Forgive me for hanging your wanted poster before. This glass is for you."
"Thank you, Tom." Sirius took the glass and drank it all.
He drank a lot of butterbeer, including two months ago, when Lupin brought him a lot, but they were not as sweet as this one today.
"Really 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 from now on will become a euphoria. "
There was a burst of laughter in the bar.
After that, he declined more people's invitation to drink and came to Diagon Alley through the entrance of the backyard.
"How do you feel?" Kyle asked.
"Nothing can be better than this." Sirius said with a smile, "Old Tom said he would treat me to a month of drinks. I plan to come again tomorrow and drink here all day. Old Tom's expression will definitely be very interesting. "
Kyle smiled and said nothing.
It can only be said that Sirius is still too young. He is now the most popular topic. As long as he appears in the Leaky Cauldron, he will definitely attract more people. Old Tom will be very happy.
But this is also a win-win situation...
The three turned a corner and came to the main street of Diagon Alley.
Sirius was like a freshman who was going to school tomorrow. He wanted to go into almost every store. Soon, his hands were full of different things.
They were all given by the store owners, and he didn't spend a single knuckle.
Thanks to him, Kyle and Dumbledore also got free hazelnut and peanut ice cream.
They first went to Madam Malkin's robe shop to customize a new set of robes for Sirius, and then went to Ollivander's and bought a wand for fifteen Galleons.
Freshmen bought wands for seven Galleons, and his wand was more than double the price, or it could be said that this was the original price of the wand, and those sold to freshmen were completely at cost price.
When passing by the Quidditch boutique, Sirius wanted to go in and buy Kyle a Firebolt as a thank you gift.
But Kyle refused.
"Don't be polite, it's just a few dollars." Sirius patted his chest, "I bought one for Harry, it's very cheap."
Kyle still shook his head, "No, I really don't need it."
There is no Quidditch match at Hogwarts this year, why does he need a Firebolt? Besides, what if the store has a new model next year...
So, let's wait until next year.
They visited almost all the stores for a whole afternoon... Oh, there is one exception.
Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.
The door of this store seemed to be set up with Sirius's banishing spell. He didn't stop for a second and trotted past.
The owner who got the news was originally standing at the door with a pile of books, ready to give him as a gift, but he only saw his back running past in a hurry.
