Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Under the offensive of Ivan's public opinion, although the Wizengamot has not yet made a final judgment, Sirius Black is no longer a fugitive, but a well-deserved hero.

Black became the most famous war hero after the Second Wizarding War.

In order to stick to his beliefs and fight against the most evil dark forces, he stayed in Azkaban for 12 years in obscurity; in order to protect his friendship and protect the only orphan of his friend, he would rather hunt down the evil dark wizard alone with the incomprehensible eyes of the world.

These deeds of Blake were sung by everyone and spread out at an extremely fast speed.

In this age without heroes, he is the last warrior who confronts evil, a well-deserved Gryffindor.

Chapter 187 Hermione's Christmas Present

Because of the newspaper, although Ivan, Harry, and Hermione are still in the hospital, they are extremely busy every day.

Especially Aiwen, he stayed up late into the night almost every day.

In such an atmosphere, the dawn of Christmas came quietly, the weather was cold and the surroundings were snowy, and there were only three people left in the ward, Ivan, Harry and Hermione.

On Christmas morning, Ivan was woken up by the pillow thrown by Harry.

"Merry Christmas!"

"Merry Christmas, Harry! Merry Christmas, Hermione!"

Ai Wen got up sleepily, and squinted in the half-darkness to look at the foot of his bed, where a mountain of packages had already piled up.

Harry and Hermione were already tearing the wrapping paper of their own gifts, and Ivan noticed that the three of them had received a lot more gifts this year than in previous years.

"Strange, why are there so many gifts?" Ai Wen murmured.

"Most of these gifts were from readers of the Hogwarts Newspaper, and many of them were simply Christmas cards," Hermione explained.

Since the series of reports about Peter Pettigrew was published, Ivan, Harry, and Hermione have also become famous.While the focus is on Sirius Black, people are amazed that three [-]- and [-]-year-old wizards were able to capture an evil dark wizard.

There are plenty of peers who have come to adore them and write to them regularly.

In addition to the little British wizards, Ivan noticed that many of these Christmas cards were mailed from foreign countries.For example, the pink greeting card in his hand came from a ten-year-old girl named Gabriel de la Cour, from France.

Gabriel first wished Ivan a Merry Christmas on the greeting card, and then expressed her admiration for Ivan's capture of Peter Pettigrew in short words, and hoped that Ivan could write back to her.

Looking at the cute little angel pattern at the end of the greeting card, Ivan smiled knowingly. Just as he was about to look at other Christmas cards, he heard Harry's annoyed voice.

"Look, the Dursleys sent me an old sock that was worn. It's worse than last year's toothpick and the year before that fiftyp. They must think I'm a house boy. Elf!" Harry threw the sock under the bed, and casually opened a text message attached to the package.

It said to ask him to inquire about whether he could stay at Hogwarts during the summer vacation.

"Thank God, I'm finally going to get rid of them this summer vacation. Sirius said, I can live with him, I don't know if he has a house?!" Harry was happy again, and he put a scarlet sweater on , continued, "This is a hooded fur coat from Mrs. Weasley, and you two seem to have it too."

"I see, mine is maroon, but there are no letters on it." Hermione picked up a box, looked at it hesitantly for a while, and gently put it aside, "This is Hagrid's special mince pie, It smells very special, a mixture of cabbage and pork liver, I think it's better not to try it lightly."

Alvin also began to unwrap his own presents. In addition to the readers' Christmas cards, gifts from Mrs. Weasley and Hagrid, his parents ordered him a set of gold cauldrons.

He had seen this thing in the Diagon Alley store before, and the price was astonishingly high.

In Aiwen's view, this golden crucible is completely an art collection, and no wizard will be so prodigal that he can use it to make potions.

Ivan sighed, and carefully put away the gold crucible.

His parents had little understanding of the wizarding world, were used to seeing wizards from the perspective of Muggles, and believed that the most expensive was the best.

Since Ivan went to Hogwarts to study, they bought him too many things that he didn't use.The most typical one is the broomstick Nimbus 2001 given last Christmas. Before Harry borrowed it for use, it had been placed under Ivan's bed and had never been taken out.

It wasn't until Ivan mentioned this incident when they went home during the summer vacation that they realized that wizards were not always flying around in the air with a broom as in the story.

And it seems that he just remembered that his son has severe fear of heights, which cannot be cured even by magic.

In addition to the gifts from his parents, Harry gave him a set of Quidditch model toys, a huge glass ball with the Quidditch field inside, as long as he touches it with a wand, the model inside will automatically fly up for the game.

Ron gave him a book, Ginny was a gorgeous quill, Colin was a set of wizard board games, Luna's was a very valuable photo that was said to prove the existence of the Bubble Snot Monster, and Fr. Red and George's presents were prank props they developed themselves, and the other little wizards were all kinds of candy and food, most of which were ordered in Hogsmeade.

To Aiwen's surprise, Qiu Zhang also gave him a gift.It is a dark blue scarf with very fine workmanship. It should be a product of Mrs. Mojin's shop.

"Ivan, thank you for giving me the watch." Hermione looked up and saw the scarf in Ivan's hand, and the cute smile on her face gradually froze. She hesitated and said, "This scarf is..."

Hermione squinted, and Ivan knew it meant she was thinking.

"It's a gift from Qiu." Ai Wen explained.

"Well, I don't know... I thought my gift was..."

Ivan looked at Hermione, whose face turned red all of a sudden, strangely. He didn't know what she was talking about. Following her gaze, he saw the last package under his bed.

This should be Hermione's gift, it's bulging inside.

Under Hermione's gaze, Ivan tore open the package, which turned out to be a scarf.

There was a Gryffindor lion sewn on this red and yellow scarf, but it looked a little out of shape, and the workmanship was much worse than the scarf Qiu gave, and it was very likely that Hermione sewed it on by herself.

Ivan suddenly realized, no wonder Hermione has such an expression now.

Her Christmas present was exactly the same as Autumn's, a scarf.

Ivan still remembered that Hermione told herself in Hogsmeade a few days ago that she had been preparing for a Christmas present for her for a long time, and she believed that she would be absolutely satisfied.

No one thought that her gift would be a scarf.

This scarf should have been made by Hermione herself, and I don't know how long she sewed it, but it must have been very difficult.

Before today, there was no news about this matter at all. No one found out that Hermione was secretly making a scarf. She probably sewed it secretly by herself in the dormitory every night after everyone went to bed.

Touching the slightly rough scarf, Ai Wen was full of emotion.

In terms of value, this scarf is not very expensive; in terms of fineness, it is much worse than the one sent by Qiu, but the stitches on it are full of the girl's heart.

Ivan raised his head and looked at Hermione, who was blushing.

He knew that she must be very nervous now, and the gift that had been carefully prepared for so long was actually the same as others. If it was him, she would be very disappointed and think wildly.

"I don't know, Ivan!" Hermione said with a blushing face, "I didn't expect Qiu Zhang to give you a scarf, if I had known..."

"Thank you, Hermione!" Ivan interrupted Hermione and said softly, "I like this scarf very much, it's the best Christmas present I've ever received."

Chapter 188 The Best Christmas Gift

Ivan and Hermione looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the room became strange.

"This scarf!" Hermione faltered, her voice getting smaller and smaller. "I was going to sew a Gryffindor lion on it, but I couldn't do it, and finally..."

"Don't worry about it, Hermione!" Seeing Hermione's appearance, Ivan said with a smile, "Actually, I really like this pattern and this scarf."

"But it's not as good as the one that Qiu Zhang gave you. It's so poorly sewn." Hermione's face was alluring crimson, and she said nervously, "It's the first time I've made this kind of thing, and some places are not as good as it should be." Too proficient, it should have been..."

"Don't you understand, Hermione? This scarf may have many shortcomings, and the workmanship is not very fine, but it is indeed the first thing I received, and the girl sewed it for me by herself. In fact, this kind of heart , is what moved me the most.”

Hearing Aiwen's words, Hermione's face became more and more red, she lowered her head and was speechless, she seemed to be extremely shy.

It was rare to see Hermione like this, and Ivan couldn't help but feel his heart move. His eyes fell from top to bottom, and uncontrollably fell on the girl's skin exposed outside her pajamas.Looking at Hermione's slender, white wrists and ankles, Ivan swallowed, unable to explain why, a strange but very strong strange feeling rose from the depths of his heart.

Ivan had a feeling that if he did something at this time, Hermione would definitely not object.

"Hermione..."

Just when he was about to continue talking, Harry suddenly raised his head and said, "Ivan, Hermione, have you seen Sirius' gift? Why didn't I find it?"

"Sirius' gift?!"

Hearing Harry's reminder, Ivan and Hermione froze for a moment, the strange feeling disappeared instantly, and they hurriedly lowered their heads to search.

In the pile of gifts, they saw gifts from Hagrid and Lupine, and even Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, and Professor Sprout wrote Christmas cards to them, but there was no gift from Sirius Black.

This is impossible, I dare not say anything else, but Ivan saw Sirius order a Firebolt for Harry at the Owl Post Office with his own eyes. This should be the most important Christmas gift this year.Besides Black, no one was generous enough to buy a Firebolt for a young wizard, not even Lucius Malfoy.

As the latest style, limited edition, world-class flying broomstick, the Firebolt is surprisingly expensive, even more expensive than all the broomsticks of all the little wizards in the school combined.

"Why is there no gift from Sirius, Professor Lupine obviously..."

Halfway through Harry's speech, he stopped suddenly. He saw the door of the ward was opened, and Sirius Black walked in with a smile on his face.

The appearance of Sirius is different from the memories of Ivan, Harry, and Hermione. Just a week ago, when they met in the castle for the last time, Sirius had a thin and haggard face, surrounded by unkempt, Dark and long hair.

But what about now? !

Sirius is wearing a brand-new sky blue robe, his hair is short, clean and tidy, and his cheeks are plump, which makes him look younger, closer to Blake 12 years ago, and closer to his handsome image before he was arrested .

"Sirius?!" Harry sat up from the bed all of a sudden, looked at Black in disbelief, rubbed his eyes hard, thinking he was dazzled.

When Professor Lupine came yesterday, he also told them that Sirius was dealing with the case at the Ministry of Magic and that the trial of the Wizengamot had reached a critical moment, and he couldn't get away at all.

But now, what did he see? !

It was simply unbelievable that Sirius actually appeared in front of them in the Hogwarts hospital ward.

"Merry Christmas, Harry, Ivan, and Hermione!" Sirius opened his arms and said with a smile, "How are you three little guys recovering?"

"We're fine, Sirius!" Harry hurriedly jumped off the bed, walked over to give Black a big hug, and Ivan and Hermione followed suit and hugged Black.

The three of them had smiles on their faces, for the first time in a while.

Ever since they knew that Peter Pettigrew was Ron's pet mouse, Scabbers, the truth of all the events that year, and that Sirius Black was wronged, Ivan, Harry, and Hermione have been in a depressed and tense environment.

Be careful in handling everything, for fear that Peter Pettigrew will run away.

This uneasiness reached its peak when Ron was controlled by Peter Pettigrew, when Professor Lupine was accused of assaulting his students, and when Sirius was captured by Snape, almost everyone was breathless.

But now, seeing Sirius swaggering at Hogwarts, the three of them know it's all over, and they've finally succeeded in proving Black's innocence.

"Sirius, how are you?" Harry said with red eyes, and his tears flowed uncontrollably.

"I'm fine, Harry!" Sirius rubbed his head lightly, his face full of kindness and concern, "I dare say, you three definitely didn't read the Daily Prophet this morning. With hard work and help, I have been acquitted by the Wizengamot, just earlier."

Hearing his words, Ivan hurriedly found the "Daily Prophet" mixed in the pile of gifts. The headlines on the front page were the smiling Sirius Black and the haggard and miserable Peter Pettigrew. Compared.

Below the photo is a large article title: Blake successfully exonerated, Peter Pettigrew is accused of treason and will be imprisoned in Azkaban.

Ivan glanced briefly, and the article described the trial process of the case, the deeds of Sirius Black, the criminal evidence of Peter Pettigrew, and so on.

Considering the impact of this incident, the Wizengamot launched a special approval process. After the routine proof and questioning sessions, it was the final vote, which was astonishingly fast.After the Black case came the trial for Peter Pettigrew's other crimes of the year.

"Although it's really a pity that I can't kill Peter Pettigrew with my own hands, but I have to say, it's actually pretty good like this now." Sirius said with a smile.

"This is already the best result!" Harry wiped away his tears, hugged Sirius tightly again, his body was trembling, and he looked terribly excited.

Next, the four talked a lot.

They chatted non-stop about the truth of the incident that year, about what happened in the castle a few days ago, about the future, and so on.

Especially Harry, who talked endlessly about his plans for the future.

"Okay, okay, you three, we can talk about these things later, we have plenty of time." Sirius said with a smile, "Today is Christmas, you don't plan to stay in the ward all day, do you?"

Ivan, Harry, and Hermione raised their heads and looked at Sirius in surprise.

"Let's go, I met Dumbledore before I came, and he agreed to let me take the three of you out for a stroll." Sirius said happily, "I haven't given you Christmas presents yet, but I will give you three Everyone is ready for a surprise."

Chapter 189 12 Grimmauld Place

Ivan, Harry, and Hermione put on their robes as quickly as possible, and Ivan even wrapped the scarf Hermione gave him around his neck.

Under the leadership of Sirius Black, they came to Hogsmeade.

Before leaving the castle, they met Professor McGonagall. Although she agreed to let the three of them leave Hogwarts for Christmas, it can be seen from her serious face and frown that she is very interested in Sirius. This approach is very disapproving.

Ivan, Harry, and Hermione were very happy, and finally they didn't have to stay in the ward.

Standing in the deserted, snow-covered streets of Hogsmeade, Sirius told them to take the three of them to Diagon Alley, where Lupine was also.

Tonight, everyone will be there for Christmas, a perfect Christmas.

Then, after the Christmas break, he sent the three of them back to Hogwarts.

"How do we get to Diagon Alley, with Floo powder?" Harry asked Sirius.

"No, I've booked the Knight Bus. However, before going to Diagon Alley, we have to go to an unpleasant place, which is not connected to the Floo network." Sirius said without thinking , "We are going there to get Ivan and Hermione's Christmas presents. Although I don't really want to go back, there is really nothing more suitable than those things."

"An unpleasant place?" Ivan froze for a moment, "Where can I get the Christmas presents for Hermione and me?!"

He didn't know where Sirius was referring to this place, and what he was going to give him, just when he was about to ask, the Knight Bus appeared from the thin air and rushed over.

The four of them dodged hastily, and the Knight Bus stopped where they had just stood, with a deafening sound.

Stan Thornpark, the conductor, jumped onto the pavement and greeted him enthusiastically.

"Merry Christmas, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Knight Bus, just hold out your wand and step aboard, and we'll take you wherever you want to go..."
