Hogwarts Homecoming

For a moment, the world became quiet.

The howling wind and snow in the sky, the pack of wolves expressing their murderous intent and violence, and the howling sled dogs.

All sounds disappeared after the man walked out of the snow.

An invisible wave swept across all directions with that person as the center!

Wherever the waves pass, everything is alive, including snow foam floating in the air and snow wolves flying towards their prey. They are all like mosquitoes trapped in a lake that is about to condense. Although they can still move, their movements seem to have been slowed down. A thousand times slower!

The world is hopelessly silent!

As the figure's face gradually became clearer, Jasuna couldn't help but tremble.

Although she knew that she had no chance of escaping in front of this person, her instinct to escape drove her to slowly raise her arms and use her only offensive magic towards the person.

What a wonderful magical phenomenon

The cutting spell is invisible, but under the magic field radiated by Amosta Brain itself, the invisible cutting spell appears in the air like a half-moon transparent shape.

The half-moon-shaped sharp blade slowly floated towards Amosta Brain's chest.

Can it work?

As soon as this ridiculous expectation appeared in Jasuna's mind, the moon blade of the cutting curse dispersed like a sand tower hit by the waves after approaching Amosta Brain at a certain distance.

"Hoho--"

Jasuna looked at the pair of purple eyes as deep as the distant starry sky and smiled, with a sad look on her face.

Enma, who was silent, took action.

He seemed to be completely unaffected by the radiated magic power around Amosta Brain. He stood up slowly and stood in front of Jasuna.

"Enma--"

Jasuna was startled. She hurriedly stood up and grabbed Enma's arm. After completing this set of actions, she realized that Amosta Brain did not suppress them with magic power.

"He's here to catch me. I don't have the ability to resist him——"

Facing Enma's gaze, Jasuna pursed her lips.

"Sorry. Enma, actually I am a wizard criminal--"

Old Enma remained silent, but patted Jasuna's hand that grabbed her arm.

"You don't blame me?"

Jasuna raised her head in astonishment and stared into old Enma's eyes. At this moment, her body began to tremble again.

The numbness in old Enma's dim eyes disappeared at some point. He looked at himself tenderly, showing no trace of blame at all.

"Thanks--"

With all her strength, Jasuna restrained the urge to cry.

"Enma is just an innocent Muggle. He saved me because he knew nothing about my past. You can't hurt him."

Jasuna said, her tone and eyes pleading.

Amosta's calm gaze enveloped Enma and Jasuna,

"I'm very happy that you would make such a request to me, Ms. Rosier. It at least shows that you understand that Muggle lives are equally valuable--"

Jasuna fell silent.

Yes, she did so many stupid things.

"Is my father still alive?"

For a moment, Jasuna was glad that it was Amosta Brain who found her, not her father.

If her father had found her first, then Old Enma might not have had a chance to survive.

"At least I didn't receive any news of his death——"

Amosta's voice was calm, as if he was chatting with a friend, not aggressive at all.

still alive

Jasuna breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, she didn't want her father to die.

"I wonder what will happen to me Mr. Blaine?"

After a little silence, Jasuna asked,

"Is it the death penalty?"

Even Enma, who was watching her, turned her gaze and looked at Amosta calmly.

"Oh, I think it shouldn't be—"

Amosta moved the corner of his mouth. He took out his hand from his pocket and brushed away a few snowflakes that hit his eyelashes.

"You know, there is no death penalty in the current wizarding laws in the UK. The only person who made me directly kill someone regardless of the law is your latest master——"

Amosta put his hands in his pockets again,

"Even without mentioning your previous crimes, given that you escaped from Azkaban and joined the Death Eaters and engaged in a series of terrorist activities after escaping from prison, I think the Wizengamot should sentence you to life imprisonment." Life imprisonment Oh.

This cannot be said to be an unexpected result. Jasuna slowly breathed out a sigh of relief. She had already been mentally prepared for this.

This is the price she must bear.

She didn't feel much anger, nor much fear, but she did have a trace of regret——

This regret is not that I can no longer help my father fulfill his "beautiful" dream, but that

Jasuna looked at the skinny old man beside her and smiled.

ifif

As if she felt Jasuna's thoughts, Enma pressed her strong palm on the back of Jasuna's palm with slight force.

"let her go."

His cloudy eyes reflected Amosta's face. After a long silence, he suddenly spoke. There was an unspeakable meaning in his hoarse voice and calm tone. In short, it was not a request.

Ho.

Amosta smiled and said nothing.

"It can't be done."

Jasuna suddenly felt that the surroundings had become colder. She shivered continuously, and then she tugged on Old Enma's sleeves.

"You don't know who he is, Enma. Although you know about wizards, you don't understand the world of magic. He did the right thing, and I do deserve to be put in jail. As you said, we all need to pay for what we have committed. Crime atones. There is no escape.”

Jasuna slowly raised her hand and stroked Old Enma's cheek. In a daze, she seemed to see the past and regret hidden in every wrinkle on the old man's face.

"I have one more request, Mr. Blaine--"

Jasuna said suddenly.

If the person who came to arrest her today was an Auror from the German Ministry of Magic, she would never say anything, but since it was Amosta Brain

This is a unique wizard who cannot be described simply as good or evil.

People call him the heir to the greatest wizard of our time. That is to say, people also recognize the greatness of Amosta Brain.

"But it doesn't matter, Ms. Rozier—"

"Can you not erase old Enma's memory of me, Mr. Blaine?"

Jasuna looked at Amosta imploringly, feeling emotional.

"I don't want Old Enma to forget. If you are willing to be accommodating, I will be very grateful!"

Just as she expected, Amosta did not laugh at a prisoner's humble request. In fact, he agreed without thinking.

"No problem, I can promise you."

"Thanks--"

Jasuna nodded to Amosta with sincere gratitude.

"Can I take you a little longer, Mr. Blaine?"

Jasuna asked again, and as expected, this request was granted.

Turning her head, Jasuna held Old Enma's hand, and the smile raised at the corner of her mouth was a bit timid, like an ordinary little girl asking her grandfather for pocket money.

"Can you make me another bowl of fish stew with potatoes, Enma?"

There was a subtle change in the expression on the old man's stiff face.

"That tastes terrible."

"No--"

Jasuna smiled,

"I'm pretty sure that was the most delicious food I've ever eaten!"

Scattered on the ice were some hard-frozen potatoes that Old Enma had brought as dry food. Under Old Enma's slightly swaying eyes, she limped and carefully picked up the potatoes one by one.

The cutting spell cut open the frozen lake. Not long after, several fish jumped up and were immediately frozen.

"Can I borrow your wand, Mr. Blaine?"

Jasuna seemed to have looked away. She was not afraid of Amosta's reputation and asked politely.

"Here——"

Amosta smiled calmly, waved his hand, and the wand flew out of his sleeve and flew into Jasuna's hand.

Amosta Blaine's Wand

Looking at the ebony wand in her hand with awe, Jasuna also had a little more respect for Amosta Brain.

She waved her wand, and a stove appeared on the ice. She waved it again, and the stove filled with wood ignited into flames.

"I can't wait any longer, Enma——"

Jasuna said with a smile to the old man who had obvious sadness in his eyes. (End of chapter)
