Chapter 73: Sirius Returns

【The Truth Sealed for Twelve Years! Stunning Reversal in the Black Case!】

This morning, the headline content of a Daily Prophet was heavily exposed.

During the period when the Ministry of Magic restarted the investigation, it was thoroughly confirmed that Peter Pettigrew was the real murderer of the bombing case back then and the killer of twelve Muggles.

And Sirius Black was framed by Peter Pettigrew.

Now the arrest warrant for Mr. Black has been completely revoked, and his legal status has been restored.

Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge expressed deep apologies for this major judicial error.

At that time, the case was handled by Barty Crouch, the then-Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

Because he relied too arbitrarily on one-sided evidence, the innocent Sirius Black was sent to Azkaban for twelve years.

Now a comprehensive accountability and supervision have been launched against him.

Moreover, the Minister stated that measures will be taken as soon as possible to restore the reputation of the Black family, and at the same time, all investigation details of the case will be disclosed to the public for public supervision.

Once this report was issued, Sirius's reputation was completely reversed.

From a "murderer" and "traitor" spurned by the world, he turned into an object of sympathy and respect for everyone.

Many people were happy about this news, both relieved that Sirius had been cleared of his grievances and cheering that justice had finally been served.

Except for Professor Snape, who had just thrown the newspaper into the trash can.

"Titus, your dad was really right, Sirius was really framed."

Ryan, who was looking at the newspaper, clicked his tongue slightly and closed the newspaper to say to Titus.

"Hmph hmph~"

Although it was his father who was praised, Titus still hummed happily.

"That's right, I don't know if anyone else was wronged back then, just not discovered."

Ethan sighed after reading it; unjust, false, and wrong cases are what they ordinary people worry about most.

Just afraid that one day they will encounter it themselves, then it's really not certain that the ending will be as good as Sirius's.

"These are still too far away from us; rather than worrying about this, it's better to learn more skills."

"My dad said, nothing in the wizarding world is as reliable as a set of skills."

"Look at that Headmaster, who in this world dares to wrong him, he will lift your skull."

Titus waved his hand, signaling Ethan not to think too much.

Hearing this, the few people all laughed.

"Hey, look, why is Professor Lupin looking for Harry Potter alone?"

At this time, Ryan suddenly pointed to the Gryffindor long table.

Only to see Professor Lupin whispering something to Harry, with a smile on his lips.

Not long after, a smile that could not be suppressed bloomed on Harry's face, and then he left his partner and ran toward the outside of the Great Hall.

"Didn't you say before, John, that Sirius is Harry Potter's godfather."

"Could it be that Sirius is back, so he went to find him happily?"

Ethan guessed, and the few people nodded one after another, very likely.

"Think back, we even touched his dog head."

Titus said with some emotion.

"Stop talking, Titus, I'm going to vomit if you say it again."

John hurriedly raised his hand to interrupt Titus's emotion; he finally forgot that thing.

Really don't want to recall that touch and temperature again.

Seeing John's expression, the few people laughed loudly.

Mocking John for insisting on touching his lychee back then; at that time, none of them touched it, only John touched it.

John rolled his eyes at them and shook his head helplessly.

You reap what you sow.

"Professor Lupin."

At this time, the few people stopped laughing and shouted behind John.

It was Professor Lupin who walked to their side.

"You guys, do you want to see Xiaohei again?"

Professor Lupin said to the few people with a light laugh.

"Xiaohei?"

The few people were stunned, and immediately reacted.

He was talking about Sirius.

It seems Sirius is really back, but he probably didn't appear in the public eye, so he met in this private way.

But the few of them didn't want to see Sirius much, because to be honest, they weren't familiar with him.

Even if it was Xiaohei, they only met once in the Shrieking Shack.

"Uh, no..."

The few of them shook their heads one after another, looking a bit disgusted.

Seeing their expressions, Professor Lupin couldn't help but laugh.

Sirius, who was popular in Hogwarts back then, has now fallen to the point of being disgusted by little wizards.

"John, how about you? He said he really wanted to talk to you face to face, missed the chance last time."

"I'll pass too, I'm actually not that familiar with him."

John waved his hand and said.

"Alright, I will convey it to him."

Professor Lupin nodded, didn't force it, patted John on the shoulder, and left.

Watching Professor Lupin's departing back, the few people breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and couldn't help but laugh again.

Headmaster's office.

Sirius changed into a clean and decent suit, his hair and beard had been groomed, looking much more energetic than before.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Dumbledore waved his hand, the door opened, and the one who came in was Harry Potter.

He also saw Sirius for the first time outside of that farce night.

Harry stood at the door, his originally excited expression becoming a bit nervous again.

Sirius, he had only seen him in photos left by his parents.

That sunny and handsome man had now become much more weathered, but those eyes were still bright, and he still carried a familiar sense of intimacy.

"Harry, you're finally here."

Seeing Harry, Sirius showed a gentle smile on his face, just like in the photo.

"That... I..."

Harry was a bit hesitant, not knowing what to say for a while, but subconsciously leaned over.

Sirius walked over directly and gave him a big hug.

Feeling Sirius's hug, Harry's at-a-loss mood finally settled down, and he hugged Sirius tightly.

This only family member now.

After the hug, Sirius half-crouched down, holding Harry's face with his hands and examining it carefully.

"Heh, James's face is all inherited by you, fortunately you still have a pair of eyes like Lily's."

Sirius's voice carried a bit of teasing, but more of nostalgia.

Hearing this sentence, Harry couldn't help but raise a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Harry, I think Remus must have told you, about Sirius."

At this time, Dumbledore, who had been watching them silently, finally spoke.

"Yes, Professor, Professor Lupin told me."

"Sirius is my godfather."

Hearing Harry call himself godfather, Sirius was also very happy, stood up, and patted Harry on the head.

"Harry, would you like to live with me?"

Sirius asked Harry seriously, Harry was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned into surprise, and nodded vigorously.

Sirius looked at Harry's firm eyes, and the smile at the corner of his mouth became even brighter.

"That's good, Harry, come back with me this Christmas holiday, I have prepared a surprise for you."

"Okay!"

Harry agreed excitedly immediately.

Watching the warm scene of the two reuniting, a gratified smile also appeared on Dumbledore's face.

"Oh by the way Harry, Sirius signed the Hogsmeade consent form for you, and you can go to Hogsmeade with your friends in the future."

Hearing this news, Harry was even happier, good news one after another.

Today is absolutely one of the happiest moments in Harry's life. ===== CHAPTER 74 =====
