Hogwarts Homecoming

After returning to the office, Amosta was still thinking about the little Ravenclaw wizard named Luna Lovegood that he met outside.

Considering various aspects such as safety, ability, and time, Amosta decided to intercept the little wizards in the third and fourth grades to participate in his new curriculum. However, Luna's appearance reminded Amosta that in other grades Among the young wizards, there are also many gifted children, and I should give them some opportunities to grow up.

Amosta had taught the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Except for the little wizards who had just entered Hogwarts last school year, he was familiar with the children studying in this school.

For two full hours, Amosta sat in his seat, thinking quietly under the steady and bright candlelight, and every once in a while, he added a name on the parchment in front of him, and waited until Haoyue was about to climb up. When they reached the center of the sky, the parchment was already filled with names.

But the matter does not end here, his new course also needs teaching materials, and Amosta does not intend to use the existing magic books on the market as textbooks, he decided to compile a new textbook and the corresponding teaching plan himself, so that If one day he leaves Hogwarts, then this class can continue to exist.

tuk tuk -

Amosta, who was immersed in his own thoughts, was awakened by a sudden knock on the door. He looked up, and after noticing the person coming through the door, he smiled helplessly,

"Come in, all three—"

There were quite a few young wizards who dared to wander around the castle outside the stipulated activity time, but there were not many who had the guts to knock on the door of his office. Not surprisingly, it was the small group of Gryffindors.

Ringing Professor Bryan's office in the middle of the night was not without psychological burden for the three of Harry, but when the three of them walked in, surprise immediately replaced anxiety. The three of them stared at the wall on the right behind the door in a daze, I didn't know what to say for a while.

"Where did those surveillance images go?"

Amosta stuffed the parchment in front of him into the drawer, stood up and stretched his stiff muscles and bones. Seeing the puzzled expressions of the three little guys, he laughed.

Professor Bryan's office furnishings are probably the simplest among all the professors, but everyone who walks into this office will not forget to pay attention to the wall that is always covered by a huge black curtain. Although Harry and the others knew that this was a method used by Professor Brian to monitor the school, it was a secret to most young wizards.

Amosta walked to the sofa and waved his magic wand, three cups of steaming milk appeared on the coffee table,

"In order not to ruin your sleep in the second half of the night, I won't invite you to drink tea, but some hot milk. I think you don't want to miss Professor Black's Defense Against the Dark Arts class because of illness—"

"Actually, we think it would be good for you to coach—"

Harry grinned.

The three of them sat on the sofa under Professor Bryan's instructions, but Ron still didn't forget the magical monitoring wall, he kept staring at the wall that had become normal again, looking hesitant to speak .

"It's not legal to monitor the school in that way, it's just a special response in an emergency. After Sirius was confirmed innocent, Principal Dumbledore immediately reminded me to dismantle it in time, so you probably won't be here in the future." Saw it in this office."

Amosta smiled and said.

"Oh—" Ron shrugged. "Frann and George will be disappointed. They've been interested in this."

Amosta knew about this matter, the twin brothers of the Weasley family had even been researching it in private. The two of them were unable to produce the original product, but with their own ingenuity, they also developed similar alchemy props , Amostar had met in Filch's office.

Before the official topic started, chatter was always indispensable. The three of Harry asked him about the progress of the Ministry of Magic's investigation on the murderer who killed Peter. Amosta couldn't tell the three little guys that Peter was looking for someone. killed,

"Well--"

After thinking for a while, Amosta said slowly,

"The Ministry of Magic has not yet achieved any exciting results, but as far as I know, they suspect that insiders were involved in this murder."

"Insiders?!"

This answer shocked the three little guys, but Hermione quickly realized,

"According to the Daily Prophet, Peter Pettigrew died on the way to Azkaban, which means that there must be insiders providing information—"

"oh!"

Ron said with a look of disgust,

"Dad always told me that the Ministry of Magic is like a sieve, but I really didn't expect them to make a fuss about this kind of thing, but, to be honest, he deserved it, didn't he?"

Keeping a criminal-turned-rat as a pet for a few years was definitely the last thing Ron wanted to think about in his life.

Regarding Peter's death, Harry felt very complicated. This guy not only caused him to become an orphan, but also caused Sirius to suffer unjust injustice. From the perspective of crime, his fate completely matched his behavior, but , would his father also be willing to see Peter die in such a miserable way in the end?

Harry was thinking about this question when the buzzer in the office rang again.

The sudden 'assailant' made the three little guys nervous.

Besides them, the person who can visit Professor Brian at this point is probably another professor, if it is Professor McGonagall or Professor Dumbledore. Harry and Hermione are still under confinement for following the professor!

"Don't worry--"

Looking at the frightened three cubs, Amosta said with a smile,

"It's Professor Black, I think, he has retained some bad habits from his student days, and he likes to hang around in the middle of the night."

"Sorry to bother you so late, Amosta--"

After going through a series of incidents, Sirius became more polite than before. He knew that it was impolite to break into someone's office so late. After the door, he immediately expressed his apology.

"I just read the materials that Remus left me in the office, the learning progress of each grade and so on. The class will start tomorrow, and I have to digest those materials tonight."

"Since that's the case—"

Amostar shuts a bird cage in Sirius' hands,

"Why don't you read the materials quietly in your office, but come to me with a bird cage in the middle of the night--"

Sirius was about to explain, when he raised his eyes, he saw three awkward little wizards standing beside the sofa, he was taken aback, then smiled,

"Oh, it's the three of you, why are you showing up in Amostar's office?"

Sirius blinked, walked up to Harry's side, patted his shoulder,

"You were on an adventure, and then, were captured by Filch and sent to Amostar?"

"You have to have confidence in your godson's level of night travel, Sirius—"

The couch was full, and Amosta had to retreat to the seat behind the desk.

"About this owl—" After sitting down, Sirius immediately stated his purpose of coming, "Since the three of you are here, it's easy. I gave it to you, Ron—"

"Give it to me?"

Ron's eyes widened. He glanced at the cooing little owl in the cage, and then his eyes fell on Professor Black's face.

"Yes, I pre-ordered it a few days ago, today, the post office sent it directly to my office, probably because of the new environment, it looks very excited, and I happen to need a quiet environment now-- "

Sirius looked at Ron who was a little at a loss with a smile and said,

"As compensation to you, Ron, I know from Crookshanks that you took Peter. I mean, you valued that Scabbers mouse, but you lost him because of me."

Ron puffed up his cheeks in surprise. Although he didn't express his opinion, everyone could see his surprise.

The Weasley family was financially constrained, and the family only had one shared owl, and none of his older brothers asked Ginny to have their own pet.

"Take it, Ron, Hedwig will be delighted to have a new friend!"

Harry said cheerfully.

"All right--"

Ron hesitated with his face flushed, but in the end, he nodded shyly under the encouraging eyes of Harry and Hermione.

Now, it was Harry's turn for the three of them to speak out.

"Oh, it's actually—"

Harry dodged the gazes of Sirius and Professor Bryan, and said falteringly,

"We're here to ask you something, Professor Blaine—"

"uh-huh--"

Amostar leaned back in his chair, making a nasal sound to signal that he was listening.

"About the Defense Against the Dark Arts course, there have always been rumors that the professor in charge of this course will experience the curse Quirrell, Gilderoy Lockhart, and Professor Lupine's encounters all prove this. There is only one exception."

Harry gave Professor Bryan a wide-eyed look, while Hermione seemed to dismiss such unfounded rumors, and just lowered her head and stared at her toes.

Amosta looked stunned, but Sirius was stunned immediately after Harry said his purpose. He stared deeply at Harry's face that resembled James, his lips were pursed, and his light gray eyes There is light flickering.

Harry felt suffocated by the unnatural atmosphere in the air, and he bowed his head in embarrassment, but insisted on asking the question,

"We want to know how you avoided this misfortune."

"Harry--" Sirius' voice was soft,

"You don't have to worry about this. I've thought about it. I'm just temporarily helping Dumbledore. I only have less than half a school year. Even if the rumor is true, I believe it won't be fatal—"
