I've already become a Hogwarts professor, and the system only just appeared.

At this point, Burns was just going through the motions. Everyone knew that Peter Pettigrew was the real traitor, and Sirius Black's charges should naturally be dropped.

The Ministry of Magic should even give Sirius Black a sum of money as compensation for the misjudgment made back then.

“It wasn’t me, I didn’t betray James,” Sirius said firmly.

After a series of interrogations, Burns was about to bring down the gavel to declare Sirius innocent when suddenly a short, stout woman stood up from the jury. Her voice was sharp as she asked, "Since you didn't betray James, why did you remain silent and tacitly admit it during the trial 12 years ago?"

Chapter 111 Thank you, nephew-in-law! (Part 1)

The person who suddenly spoke was Umbridge, who wore a standard professional fake smile and looked at Sirius with what appeared to be an expectant expression.

“I am not arguing. It is my own exile. I failed to protect James and Lily and they entered Azkaban. It is my own punishment for myself!” Sirius said slowly.

Clap clap clap, Umbridge clapped her hands and laughed, "Well said, what a sincere friendship, it's really touching. But according to you, shouldn't you be looking for the murderer who betrayed the Potters?"

"Of course I found him, and I thought I had killed him!" Sirius Black, now realizing the woman's hostility, glared at her fiercely.

"Oh, so you did have the idea of ​​killing Peter Pettigrew back then, right?" Umbridge questioned sharply, as if she had caught something wrong.

"Shouldn't he die?" Sirius was clearly enraged. He roared, "Potter and Lily treated him like a little brother, and what did he do? He betrayed them and brought Voldemort into their mansion. Shouldn't he die?"

At this moment, Umbridge's smile vanished, and she said coldly, "Whether a person deserves to die is not for you to decide, but must be judged by Wizengamor and decided by the Ministry of Magic!"

Umbridge then turned to Amelia and said, "Your Honor, I believe that although Sirius Black did not participate in the Death Eaters, he did attempt murder!"

"After years of living in Azkaban, this person's mentality has clearly become distorted, and he is irritable and easily angered. He is likely to cause harm to the British magical community. It is recommended that the Ministry of Magic detain him in a designated residence!"

Upon hearing Umbridge's words, Su Yu could only exclaim, "Wow, this woman is annoying, but she's a master at using reverse psychology."

Su Yu thought about it and concluded that this woman was Fudge's person. Her stepping forward at this time was most likely at Fudge's behest, to save face for the Ministry of Magic.

She did not deny that Sirius was wronged, and that cannot be denied, but she changed her approach and defined Sirius as a dangerous element who would endanger social security.

Sirius's earlier roar provided her with a useful example. Su Yu guessed that tomorrow morning's front page headline of the Daily Prophet would most likely be a terrifying photo of Sirius, disheveled and roaring.

So Su Yu took out his phone and sent a message to Rita Skeeter: "I want Umbridge to be on Toutiao tomorrow, portrayed as arrogant, lacking empathy, distorting the truth, and inducing victims to vent their emotions in order to carry out slander."

"Boss, won't the Ministry of Magic have something to say about this?" Rita Skeeter, who was on the scene, quickly replied to Su Yu.

“It’s alright, we can stand with the Ministry of Magic, seize on Umbridge, and put this clown who’s just trying to attract attention and damage the Ministry of Magic’s reputation on the pillar of shame in the wizarding world!” Su Yu said.

"Understood, boss!"

Amelia frowned in the dock. Her brother had also died at Voldemort's hands, and Amelia naturally empathized with Sirius. Hearing Umbridge's argument, she felt an instinctive aversion.

“Jury member Umbridge, what evidence do you have to support your charges?” Amelia asked calmly.

“Your Honor, he has already admitted it himself, and his expression and eyes speak volumes!”

Umbridge pointed at Sirius, straining her voice to sound pitiful, but combined with her face, it only made her more repulsive.

Amelia said, “Jury member Umbridge, believe me, if you were wrongfully imprisoned in Azkaban for 12 years, your emotions would be even harder to control than his. Please stop provoking the victim with your words.”

Umbridge was taken aback, then raised her chin and threatened, "I'm only doing this for the safety of the magical community. If you insist on setting him free, you'll be responsible for any consequences that result."

“Umbridge, I will naturally stand by my word. If there are no other questions, please sit down!” Amelia was completely unmoved by that and retorted directly.

No one objected now. Amelia tapped her gavel and announced, "Now, I declare Sirius Black guilty of a crime committed 12 years ago and released on bail. The Ministry of Magic will provide him with 1500 Galleons in compensation."

Clap clap clap! This time, it was Lu Ping who applauded. He was so excited. His best friend, who had been wrongfully imprisoned for 12 years, was finally exonerated today!

As Lupin's applause rang out, Dumbledore and the other professors at Hogwarts also stood up, followed by everyone from the Ministry of Magic, who joined in applauding Amelia and Sirius.

As the crowd gradually dispersed, Sirius Black also stepped out of the dock. After being imprisoned for 12 years and spending his days with Dementors, he was suddenly free today, and Sirius was a little confused.

“Sirius!” Lupin was the first to come to his side, giving him a big hug and saying remorsefully, “I’m sorry, brother, I made you spend 12 years in Azkaban for nothing.”

Sirius gave Lupin a hug in return, patted him hard on the back twice, and said, "Remus, don't say that to my brother. Thanks to you this time, otherwise I wouldn't even know that Wormtail was still alive."

"Besides, without all that you've done for me, I wouldn't have been able to get out so quickly!"

Lupin dared not take credit and quickly waved his hand, saying, "It's not my doing. It was all Sue's plan. He told me that your character would never betray James."

"He was the one who devised the method and plan for me to find the Wormtail, and he was also the one who finally found it, so the person you should thank the most is Sue!"

In fact, Sirius had already seen Su Yu, and he had heard the general outline of the whole incident from the jailers in the past few days, so he knew that Su Yu had played a significant role in saving him.

But to be honest, he didn't want to talk to Su Yu, especially when he saw Su Yu's ambiguous smile, which seemed to say "come and thank me." Sirius simply didn't want to pay any attention to him.

Back when they were at Hogwarts, if James Potter's archenemy was Snape, then Sirius Black's archenemy was Su Yu.

James Potter and Snape fought fiercely for Lily's heart, each trying to prove that they were the right person for her.

Sirius Black and Su Yu, on the other hand, were locked in a life-or-death struggle for the title of Hogwarts' first alchemist, determined to determine who was superior.

Of course, in most cases, Sirius is the one chasing after Su Yu. After all, Su Yu has many advanced ideas. Even if the refining level is similar, Su Yu's products always seem ingenious.

Sirius glanced at Su Yu, who was also looking at Sirius with a relaxed expression. The two stared at each other, and for a moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Chapter 112 Thank you, nephew-in-law! (Part 2)

“I heard from the prison guards that I was able to get out this time thanks to Mr. Arthur Weasley’s help. He was the one who led the operation to capture Peter Pettigrew. I think I should thank Mr. Weasley first!” After hesitating for a while, Sirius still wanted to struggle a little more and said to Arthur.

Arthur quickly waved his hand and lowered his voice, saying, "That's all media hype. Actually, the mastermind behind this was Sue. He's the one who found Little Pettigrew. My credit was entirely given to me by Sue."

"Even the media was found for me by Su. I just attended the event by chance, but I got the biggest credit. I also want to thank Su properly."

Sirius looked at Su Yu again, still unwilling to believe the fact that he had been rescued by his mortal enemy, and continued to struggle:

"Headmaster Dumbledore, yes, I heard that you helped during the capture. Thank you so much for your help!"

Dumbledore smiled and waved his hand, "Child, I just used a simple method to help undo Peter Pettigrew's Animagus transformation. Even without me, Sue and the others would have had other ways."

Why is it still Su Yu? How annoying! Sirius's eyes continued to search the scene, and then he saw Snape with a mocking expression.

He was certainly aware of Snape's role in this operation, but recalling the scene of Snape brutally defeating their group of four years ago, Sirius didn't want to thank him either.

Seeing Sirius looking at him, Snape sneered, "After being rescued, you didn't even say thank you. You Marauders are still as excellent as ever!"

"You!" Sirius was somewhat speechless with anger, his face darkening as he looked at Su Yu, and he squeezed out through gritted teeth, "Thank you, Su Yu!"

"Haha, you're welcome, you're welcome!" Su Yu felt very comfortable. He was different from Snape; he wouldn't keep mocking others by sticking to their sore spots. After all, mockery has to be comprehensive to be exciting.

Then he took out a magic phone and said in a very authoritative manner, "Sirius, you've been imprisoned in Azkaban for twelve years, you must be completely out of touch with society."

"Look at this, this is called a magic phone, the latest and most popular product in the magical world. Wizards use it to communicate, read the news, and even play games. I'll give you one."

Sirius Black knew about the magic phone, of course. He had seen the prison guards use it to play chess and read newspapers. The details of this incident were read to him by a prison guard using the magic phone.

He never expected that Su Yu, his mortal enemy, would send him such a phone so quickly. Taking the phone, he sincerely said, "Thank you!"

"No need to thank me, no need to thank me. After all, I invented this thing. I used the FlyNet information technology..." Su Yu rattled off a whole bunch of professional alchemy terms.

Some of these terms were from previous technologies, while others were technologies he invented himself. He knew Sirius would understand them, and even if he didn't, he would have some guesses. His purpose was simple: to show off blatantly.

Sirius's face grew darker as he listened. He understood that Su Yu's long-winded explanation boiled down to this: Kid, my alchemy has left you far behind; you can't even see my taillights.

Su Yu wasn't finished yet. After mentioning the phone, he continued, "This phone also comes with a magical network server. The difficulty of manufacturing this server is hundreds of times greater than that of the phone itself..."

Su Yu kept bragging about his achievements over the years, feeling incredibly satisfied with his old rival being thoroughly defeated.

But Sirius, whose old rival was getting thoroughly thrashed, wasn't happy at all. He really wanted to smash that damn phone.

After Su Yu finished his introduction, he changed the subject: "Sirius, you just came out of Azkaban and don't have a proper job. Why don't you come work at our Flying Feather Magic Mobile Phone Shop? I'll arrange a comfortable job for you, and the salary is excellent!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Sirius finally couldn't hold back and refused outright. What a joke! No matter how down on his luck Sirius was, he was still the heir of the Black family.

The Galleons in the family vault were piled up like a small mountain. Even if he did nothing all day, he would never spend them all before he died. Sirius Black would never work for anyone in his life.

Seeing Sirius's attitude, Su Yu gave Lupin a wink, and Lupin immediately understood, scratching his head and saying:

"Sirius, actually, I'm the factory manager of the Feather Magic Mobile Phone Factory now, and I also own a share of the company. So if you come here, we can continue to work together."

“You…” Sirius Black was shocked that his old buddy had betrayed him. He was filled with grief and indignation: “Remus, have you forgotten the grudge between us Marauders and those two idiots, the Serpenthawks?”

"Hey, Sirius, you can say whatever you want, but don't make personal attacks. We're the Snake-Eagle Duo. If you keep talking nonsense like this, I'll sue you for defamation!" Su Yu immediately retorted when he heard about the Snake-Eagle Duo.

"The Snake-Eagle Duo? Where are you two? Did you crack the Marauder's Map I made?" Sirius Black brought out the only product he hadn't been able to crack by Su Yu back then.

Su Yu smiled, revealing his bright white teeth. "I've been waiting for you to bring this up: Hehe, the Marauder's Map, I not only cracked it, but I also upgraded it into a mobile phone version. Come and see, isn't it a hundred times more high-end than your parchment?"

"You made it? If you did, you're both idiots!"

"If we're the two idiots, then you're the four useless raiders—no, three useless ones plus a traitor!"

……

Before long, Su Yu, Sirius, Snape, and Lupin were arguing, as if they had returned to an afternoon 20 years ago.

Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall exchanged a smile and shook their heads helplessly. These kids have all grown up, yet they're still as childish as before.

"Stop arguing!" Seeing that things were getting out of control, Tonks, who was standing next to Su Yu, shouted sharply to stop them.

The argument between the four was stopped, and eight eyes turned to look at Tonks at the same time. This startled Tonks, and she became as nervous as a Razer mouse, constantly changing the color of her hair!

"Are you Disguised Magus?" Sirius asked in surprise.

Tonks nodded awkwardly: "Yes, that's me!"

"So what is your relationship with Andromeda?" Sirius continued to ask.

At this moment, Su Yu stepped in front of Tonks and said, "Don't involve Tonks in our affairs!"

Tonks then said, "Andromeda is my mother!"

Sirius pointed at Su Yu: "So what is your relationship with him?"

"Tonks is my girlfriend, so what?" Su Yu didn't realize the problem and grabbed Tonks's hand.

Suddenly, Sirius laughed, a hearty laugh that made him double over. Just as everyone was puzzled, he straightened up, took Su Yu's hand, and said, "Thank you so much this time, nephew-in-law!"

Chapter 113 Su Yu's First Bare Fang

Nephew-in-law? What nephew-in-law? Su Yu and Tonks were both stunned, then they heard Sirius say:

“Andromeda Black is my cousin, so Tonks, you are my niece, and you, Su Yu, if you are going to pursue Tonks, you are my nephew-in-law. From today onwards, I, Sirius Black, allow you to call me Uncle Black!”

Looking at Sirius's arrogant expression, Su Yu's mind went blank. It seemed that there really was such a thing. He never expected that this setting, which was just a minor episode in the original work, would actually hit him hard in reality.

In fact, by 1992, British Muggle society no longer placed much importance on things like seniority; modern Britons valued individual freedom.

Therefore, it is very common for Muggles to call their uncles or maternal uncles by their first names. However, unfortunately, wizarding society is different from Muggle society, and they are still in an old-fashioned way of thinking.
