Hogwarts Homecoming

Amosta walked across the wet grass, walked toward the castle at a leisurely pace, and stopped at the foot of the marble stairs.

On the stairs, Dumbledore and Madame Maxime stood side by side, looking at him with burning eyes. Fleur, a girl wearing suspender pajamas, ran out. She covered her chest with her fists and was looking at him with a worried face. After sending all the students back, Severus and Minerva hurried out of the hall.

"Oh, sorry, looks like I caused a bit of a commotion--"

Amosta seemed to be in a good mood, he said with a smile.

Dumbledore's silver-white beard, dyed golden by the bright torch, fluttered slightly in the wind. His sharp gaze was focused on Amosta's face without speaking. Seeing his expression, Professor McGonagall also remained silent. A worried look on his face.

As for Madame Maxime and Fleur, they are not Hogwarts personnel, and they will not speak nonsense on this occasion.

"Who are you fighting?"

Severus had no inhibitions. He stepped forward with one step, his slightly pale face and his dark eyes filled with anger.

"You know, there is a large group of eight-eyed spiders living in the Forbidden Forest——"

Amosta's unmoved smile,

"This group of evil dark creatures are running rampant in the Forbidden Forest, crowding out the living space of other creatures. Moreover, they will eat everything, including human flesh, of course, so I took some steps to restrict them."

"How come you suddenly thought of doing this, Amosta?"

Dumbledore asked softly.

"Oh, this is to prepare for the upcoming Triwizard Tournament. I don't want these dark creatures to come out and cause trouble for me in the third game."

Amosta responded to Dumbledore's gaze calmly.

Silence fell, and everyone felt the nervous atmosphere escaping from the lingering breeze.

"That old spider, I mean Aragog, was Hagrid's friend--"

After a long time, Dumbledore sighed,

"You have considered it very comprehensively, Amosta. For the safety of the students, it is necessary to put appropriate restrictions on it and its descendants. But Amosta, you know Hagrid's feelings for Aragog. It's deep, and if you hurt it, it hurts Hagrid emotionally."

"Ah, that's why I made such a big noise——"

Amosta shrugged his shoulders in a relaxed manner.

"You know, that old spider is very stubborn. The previous defeat in the war with the centaurs made it even worse tempered and more aggressive. It couldn't listen to my persuasion at all, just because it wanted to avoid a bigger conflict. and casualties, so I had to make some big noise to scare it—"

"Is it?"

Dumbledore frowned slightly, and his breath relaxed.

"No casualties occurred?"

"Maybe a few little spiders were frightened and lost their lives, but Aragog is fine. They have agreed to migrate deep into the Forbidden Forest."

Amosta said frankly.

Dumbledore was silent again, but his expression softened a lot.

"Sorry, ma'am-"

Amosta turned his eyes to Madame Maxime, bowed slightly,

"I disturbed you and your students from your break."

"It's okay, Amosta--"

Maxim said cautiously,

"You are here for the third game. Do you plan to set the venue for the third game in the Forbidden Forest?"

Fleur next to Maxim's eyes flickered suddenly, and Viktor, who had led the Durmstrang students to check what was going on, became more energetic after hearing this, and he immediately turned his head to look In the dark primitive jungle, the thin shoulders trembled.

In the corridor on one side, several heads peeking out of the corridor also showed excited expressions.

"I had already guessed this possibility."

Harry said quietly.

"That's indeed the plan."

Amosta nodded and smiled, revealing some limited information was nothing.

Hearing this, Mrs. Maxim also looked at the Forbidden Forest, looking thoughtful.

"Then, we can call it a night -"

Amosta turned to look at Durmstrang's students,

"You can go back and rest."

So, Viktor began to evacuate with his classmates, and after Mrs. Maxim said goodbye to Dumbledore, she also took Fleur's hand and walked down the stairs. Fleur's eyes were glued to Armor. Star's body until far away.

"Were they just discussing that spider, ma'am?"

The breeze brought the intermittent sounds of Fleur asking Maxim for advice.

"This is not something we can interfere with, Fleur. It's best not to get involved too much."

Maxim's warning also followed.

Now, there were only a few people from Hogwarts left in front of the hall, and, except for Amosta, they were all members of the Order of the Phoenix.

"The Dark Lord will know what happened tonight."

Severus turned pale and said in a simple narrative tone, but Dumbledore did not respond and just pointed his gaze at Amosta, who nodded after a brief pause, and then looked towards the corridor on the side of the foyer. ,

"Sirius, what are you doing at Hogwarts?"

"Oh, I'm here to deliver a message to you. Dumbledore already knows the situation. You can ask him that. I'm pressed for time. I have to leave after saying a few words to Harry, so I won't catch up with you anymore. Mosta!”

As he said that, Sirius retracted his head guiltily and pulled Harry and the others further away.

"What did he say?"

Amosta raised a brow.

"The school board held an internal meeting--"

Dumbledore said calmly,

"More than two-thirds of the trustees agreed that the Malfoys would be returned to the school board."

"Malfoy is going back to the school board?!"

There was anger in Professor McGonagall's voice. She glared at Severus and then looked at Dumbledore worriedly, "What will happen, Albus?"

"Some things will happen that we can expect," said Dumbledore.

"Oh, don't worry, Minerva, we can handle that trouble."

And Amosta also promised,

"Don't worry, Professor McGonagall, we will indeed encounter some waves, but they will subside soon."

The three of them were dragged further away by Sirius. Harry looked at Sirius who was a little guilty and asked in confusion,

"What's going on, Sirius, something doesn't look right with you?"

"Have it?"

Sirius wiped the sweat from his forehead, stretched his head and looked towards the hall to confirm if anyone was following him.

"You don't seem to want to see Professor Braine, do you, Sirius?"

Hermione narrowed her eyes and looked at him suspiciously.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just, ahem——"

Sirius drew his neck back. He noticed the strong desire for knowledge in the eyes of Harry and the three of them, and said sternly,

"Some things are not suitable for you to know, ahem, that's it--"

Sirius looked at Ron,

"Your brother, Ron, I mean Percy."

"Oh, Percy?!"

Ron immediately said angrily,

"What stupid thing did he do again?"

"It's not too stupid this time--"

Sirius had obviously heard about Percy coming to Hogwarts and begging Amosta to let Umbridge enter Hogwarts. He said in a disapproving tone,

"He has resigned from the Ministry of Magic and is currently working in Remus's workshop with his girlfriend, Penelo Crivat."

Percy resigned from the Ministry of Magic and was dating Penello again?

This sudden news made Harry and the three of them look at each other. These two things were so 'magical' that for a while, Harry and the other three didn't know where to start.

"There's something else--"

Sirius' expression became solemn. He looked at the three Harrys who were looking solemn and said,

"This is also the purpose of my coming to Hogwarts. The Hogwarts School Board held a meeting, and I attended on behalf of the Black family."

"etc!"

Hermione shouted immediately,

"The Black family is on the school board?"

"Why, didn't I tell you this?"

Sirius scratched his head.

"But--"

Harry said in shock,

"In his second year, Lucius Malfoy was said to have obtained the support of all the directors on the school board to expel Professor Dumbledore from Hogwarts!"

"Oh, you can't blame me, Harry -"

Sirius said innocently,

"I was still in Azkaban at the time, and I couldn't object to Lucius Malfoy's little plan. Oh, this matter has passed. What I want to tell you is that, with the encouragement of the Ministry of Magic, The Malfoy family has returned to the Hogwarts School Board. Understand, Hogwarts may be in some trouble. "
