Chapter 490 Who is the Godson?



Neville had always thought that Harry only had his aunt and uncle, and he had said before that these two people were very mean to him and even refused to sign his application form to go to Hogsmeade.

Now suddenly hearing that Harry has a godfather, this news brought much more shock than Kyle's appearance in the Gryffindor common room.

"You have a godfather?" Neville asked in surprise, "Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

"I just found out about that too." Harry laughed, putting the candy into Neville's pocket.

There was no way before, because of Sirius' identity, he could only keep this matter in his heart and didn't tell anyone.

But now it's different. Sirius was declared not guilty in the retrial, and he can finally tell everyone the good news openly.

But Harry did not get carried away. After all, he had only heard about it and had not seen the newspaper or the letter, so he deliberately did not mention Sirius's name.

Looking at the excited Harry, Hermione was also very happy for him. She also knew how hard it had been for Harry to wait for this day.

But...she lowered her head, as if thinking about something.

Soon, Harry came back. He put the half-empty candy bucket on the table and stared blankly out the window. Every time an owl flew over, he couldn't help but stand up, and when they flew away, he would show a disappointed expression.

"Don't you find it strange?" Hermione asked suddenly.

"What's weird?" Harry replied absentmindedly, still staring out the window.

"Kyle, of course," said Hermione.

Ron fiddled with his new quill and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

"Didn't you guys notice?" Hermione looked at them with disdain, "How did Kyle know that Sirius was acquitted?"

"Of course it's the newspaper." Ron said as a matter of course, "Didn't he say that because of this incident, the Daily Prophet urgently printed an extra copy of the newspaper."

"What about these things!"

Hermione pointed to the golden cauldron on the table. "Sirius obviously bought it in Diagon Alley. Have you ever thought that if he wanted to give it to Harry, why didn't he send an owl directly to it, instead of asking Kyle for help..."

Ron looked up, and Harry stopped looking out the window.

Yes, they realized then, if it was for Harry, why should Kyle deliver it.

Could it be that Sirius wrote the wrong address? But they were all at Hogwarts.

"Don't you understand yet?" Hermione looked at the two people with puzzled faces and closed her homework unhappily. "It's very simple. I dare say Kyle was with Sirius at the time. He was also in Diagon Alley!"

"What?" Ron said in disbelief. "But that's impossible... I mean, there's no Hogwarts Express on weekends, how did he get back?"

"Maybe there is some other way." Hermione said, "Also, I don't know if you still remember that during lunch today, Professor Dumbledore went to the Great Hall to call Kyle away, and he hasn't come back until now."

"You mean..." Harry frowned, "At that time he already knew about Sirius's retrial and went to find him outside the school?"

"I think so..."

The three of them fell silent immediately. They didn't understand why Dumbledore told Kyle this.

Harry felt a little upset. He was Sirius' godson, but he was the last one to know...

Harry was lost in thought when he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his hand. He looked down and found that an owl the size of a Bludger was pecking at his hand, with a letter next to it.

"Oh, a letter from Sirius!" he said excitedly, and quickly opened the envelope.

Hermione and Ron also came over.

On the other hand, the news of Sirius Black's acquittal quickly spread in Hogwarts through the Daily Prophet. Those students who subscribed to the newspaper told others about it as soon as possible. Now everyone was discussing it, and even the Triwizard Tournament was put on hold.

Is there anything more legendary than spending twelve years in Azkaban, just waiting for a chance to take revenge? Hogwarts is full of teenage students, who are at their most passionate, and this is what they love to watch the most.

By the time of dinner, almost all the students in the hall were discussing this matter. Fred and George no longer cared about the box. They gathered around Harry, curiously trying to find out the news.

Harry was so excited after receiving the letter that he let the cat out of the bag. Now almost everyone in Gryffindor knows that Sirius is his godfather.

Everyone was eager to get some news from him that was not in the newspapers.

Others couldn't squeeze in and could only guess.

"I dare say Black must have done it on purpose..." Mikel said solemnly at the Hufflepuff table, "He would rather give up his freedom and be locked up in Azkaban on his own initiative, just to kill those Death Eaters inside."

"That's difficult." Someone said, "With the Dementors here, even Black can't just kill the Death Eaters locked up inside."

"So it took him twelve years," Mikkel said. "And don't forget, he was the first person to successfully escape from there. He must have a way to deal with the Dementors."

His statement was actually agreed by many people.

If they can escape, then there must be a way to deal with the Dementors... This makes sense.

"After he kills all the Death Eaters, he will come out and find the real murderer and clear his name... I have to say, he is really amazing."

Mikel continued, his eyes twinkling, “It would be great if Professor Dumbledore could ask him to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

"Of course, I'm not saying that Professor Moody is bad. What I mean is that we should wait until next year..."

The curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts was so deeply rooted in people's minds that five professors were replaced in five years, and not one of them was re-elected.

So even though he was a legendary Auror, they didn't hold out much hope... Lockhart was as famous as Moody, and he was also a member of the Order of Merlin, but he was also defeated, wasn't he? The students were noisily discussing the matter of Sirius Black, and the situation was similar in the teacher's seats.

Dumbledore kept the secret very well and never revealed it to anyone. Except for a few special people, most professors only found out about it today.

Hagrid had been staring blankly for half an hour, holding a newspaper.

He had scolded Sirius Black many times before, and had said more than once that if he caught Black, he would beat the crap out of him, otherwise he would be a philoprogenitor caterpillar.

But now things have suddenly turned around. Blake is innocent and the betrayer is someone else.

He certainly couldn't beat out Blake's overnight meal now, but he didn't want to be a philobacillus caterpillar.

"What should I do..." Hagrid felt a little confused.
