Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

249. Chapter 249 New Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

    Wizengamot's verdict on Peter Pettigrew's verdict was mixed, and many people were not satisfied with the result. They thought that Peter should be sentenced to death.

    Kill him directly, or let the dementor suck his soul…

    When the truth of the incident was first revealed, the voice of such opinions was high.

    Over time, the wizards gradually calmed down and some began to think that this was too cruel. Even if Peter Pettigrew sinned, the dementor kiss was too inhuman, and the number of wizards who held this view gradually gained the upper hand.

    However, when Peter was placed in Azkaban Prison, people were not at ease. After all, there was an example of Sirius's escape before.

    Even if the Ministry of Magic repeatedly guarantees, Peter Pettigrew will be strictly guarded.

    The outside world is still full of doubts, they do not believe in Fudge and the Ministry of Magic.

    In this case, the wizards are increasingly curious about Sirius, the only wizard that escaped from the Azkaban guarded by the Dementor.

    Knowing that today's special issue on the Digon Alley 36 Hogwarts Magic headquarters will be the first to publish an exclusive report about the Sirius escape experience, many wizards lined up early to wait for the store to open.

    In addition to these wizards who are hungry, more people simply worship Sirius.

    Just like the worship of Lockhart a year ago, after the truth was revealed, the brave Sirius became the object of worship for many people.

    Unlike the muggle world, magic circle worships power, and wizards need heroes.

    After Lockhart's true face was made public, people were disappointed and began to look for new objects that could replace him. Sirius' appeared to fill this gap.

    He is a well-deserved hero, a fighter who fights against the forces of darkness.

    Especially this new hero is still very handsome, everything is getting better, many like Mrs. Weasley's female wizard is madly admiring him.

    The signing today was the first public appearance after Sirius was acquitted.

    Although it was the last day of the Christmas holiday, his admirers spontaneously gathered here to meet Sirius and get his autograph.

    In the crowd, there are also a lot of underage young wizards. They are not coming to Sirius, but to buy the Weasley's Wizard Wheezes and other Hogwarts young wizards that will be sold on the first floor of the store.

    In the newspaper, Ivan has promoted almost every item.

    His strategy was very successful and almost mobilized the entire magic circle.

    At this time, a long queue was arranged outside the shop, and it was always on the corner of the street. There was no end to it, and more and more people were joining it.

    "Relax, Sirius, you just have to sit here and sign it it will be alright, it's very simple."Ivan found that Sirius seemed a little uneasy.

    “I would rather fight the Death Eater than do it again.”Sirius clenched the quill in his hand because he was too hard and almost broke the pen.

    Unlike Lockhart, he has not adapted to this feeling of being in the lens.

    “I will help you with Harry, Ron, and Hermione, and the sale of the first floor will be handed over to Fred, George, Ginny, Dobby, and Kreacher.”Ivan ordered, “Especially Dobby and Kreacher, you two have to work hard to adapt, and today you are responsible for the day-to-day operations and sales.”

    "Yes, sir!"Dobby said excitedly that he was doing this for the first time.

    Kreacher didn't answer. He looked suspiciously at the Weasley special fireworks in front of him. He seemed to be studying this thing and seeing his eyes. He obviously thought that what happened in front of him was absurd. If it wasn't because of Sirius' command, he would have turned away. .

    In Ivan's plan, because of the financial constraints, he did not intend to hire too many people, newspaper manuscript compilation work can still be done as before, shops here usually have lupin, Dobby, Kreacher care should also be able to cope.

    As for Sirius, he was also prepared to go to the store to help.

    But this morning, he received a letter from Dumbledore asking him to replace Lupin as Hogwarts' new Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor.

    He accepted the invitation and everyone was very happy after knowing the news.

    Especially Harry was the most excited. He couldn't believe that his godfather would become a new professor of dark magic defense, which is his favorite class.

    Ivan is also looking forward to it, expecting Snape to see the expression after Sirius.

    Unlike the Professional Lupin, who is gentle and unwilling to fight with people, with Sirius's hot personality, he will definitely be against Snape.

    Undoubtedly, the course for the second half of the semester must be very exciting. This is not only a matter of the two of them, but also the confrontation between the two colleges of Gryffindor and Slytherin. This year's Academy Cup competition is definitely fierce.

    In addition to this, Sirius promised Ivan to help him get the recognition of the Centaur tribe in Forbidden Forest and get the Gryffindor's treasure key.

    Ivan has long been eager for this item that boosts magic power.

    In fact, after knowing one of the news, the most happy things besides Ivan and Harry are Fred and George. The more chaotic the school, the more opportunities they have for mischief. A lot of Mrs. Weasley and Hermione think that there is danger, and the mischievous products sold by the other party are forbidden, and they can also be sold out.

    "A few of you are ready, the time is almost the same, we have to open the door."Ivan walked over to help Lupin open the store door.

    Dobby the House Elf was nervously standing behind the counter on the first floor, watching the crowd coming in like a tidal wave. They were excited to discuss that Sirius, who was running straight into the center of the hall, rushed over.

    Like the previous Lockhart on-site signing, the wizards bought a special issue of "Hogwarts Magic", and Sirius signed it and took a group photo with everyone.

    Sirius smiled stiffly and struggled to deal with it.

    While queuing, the wizards curiously looked at the exquisite goods on the counter. Many of them were very interesting and practical. It is hard to believe that these are the works of young wizards. After seeing the things of interest. Will also buy it.

    In front of the counter that Fred and George was responsible for, it was packed with young wizards that bought prank products. Their products were very popular and quickly swept away.

    Ivan noticed that Fred and George would carry Mrs. Weasley and Hermione sneak a thick order on the purchase of a young wizard that bought their merchandise, all of which were previously banned from selling them.

    In short, this shop that seems to be a hodgepodge has achieved air success, and even Ivan's muggle items deliberately placed in the corner have attracted many people to buy.

    Although the number is small, but the flow of water, for the wizard, these are very novel gadgets, and interested people will definitely be more and more.
