Hogwarts Homecoming

Severus left, and before leaving, Amosta pulled him into the corridor outside the school hospital.

"If Voldemort asks why I turned into Gabrielle and appeared at his resurrection ceremony, then tell him that the most important person chosen by the event team for Fleur was Gabrielle, and I considered Gabrielle's age. , going underwater would frighten her, so he replaced her in private. Voldemort urgently needed a reason to explain the mistakes in his resurrection plan. He only needed a reason, and he would not pursue her.

As for Hermione and Ron being hit by the Killing Curse but not dying, just tell them the truth. "

This matter was not mentioned in Harry's narration just now. Severus immediately realized something. He looked at Dumbledore through the glass window with hidden anger, and then fixed his gaze on Amos. On the face of the tower,

"Is this all part of his plan?"

"Dumbledore and I have the same position on this matter. Only by bringing Voldemort back into the public eye can this threat be completely resolved. Otherwise, he will endlessly plot new conspiracies."

Amosta said calmly,

"As for Lucius, he's counting on me to protect Draco, so to a certain extent, he's credible."

Severus nodded. He understood what Amosta wanted to express. He looked at Amosta with a concerned face and moved his lips, but in the end, he said nothing and showed his face to Amosta. After giving a pale smile, he strode away.

Amosta did not return to the campus hospital. Looking at Dumbledore who was saying something to the three of them, Amosta sighed heavily and went downstairs to his office.

With his hands behind his back, he stood in front of the window of his office and looked out the window quietly.

The sunshine outside is still bright, but there is a cold paleness in the brightness. The hustle and bustle of the lakeside in the morning has disappeared, and now there are only rows of empty seats, and goblins who are dismantling equipment in a waning mood.

Because of himself, the Triwizard Tournament received unprecedented attention, and the live broadcast was interrupted midway through the game. After that, the European magic community must be given an explanation.

And, it needs to be as soon as possible.

This time, he had no intention of thinking of any excuses. He should tell the public that the Dark Lord had returned among people and asked everyone to be vigilant.

Of course, doing this will obviously further anger Cornelius Fudge, but Amosta doesn't care. The angry Fudge and the forces affiliated with him will definitely become angrier and make even more stupid moves. He hopes to see Until this happens.

Sooner or later, Dumbledore would have realized, or he had always known, that in the short term, the Ministry of Magic under Cornelius Fudge would be a greater obstacle than Voldemort.

If what is expected is true, the Ministry of Magic will definitely try to directly interfere with Hogwarts and deny the news of Voldemort's return in an official capacity. For most ordinary people in the wizarding world, they will undoubtedly be more convinced by the Ministry of Magic, especially Yes, they themselves are not happy to hear that they have been shrouded in the clouds of war.

And taking away the auras from Dumbledore and himself, and discrediting Dumbledore and himself, this is what is expected to happen.

"What's going on, Amosta?"

Half an hour later, Remus knocked on the office door.

"Do you mean?"

Amosta wiped away the heaviness between his brows and asked with a smile.

"everything,"

Remus asked solemnly,

"You asked me to pretend to be you, and you yourself became the little girl from Beauxbatons. Cliona pretended to be Moody, the resurrection of Voldemort. You and Albus know all this, right? Also, What's going on between you and Albus?"

"As you guessed--"

Amosta returned to his office with tea in hand and said calmly,

"All of this is indeed within the sight of Dumbledore and I. Yes, we have acquiesced in Voldemort's return to the wizarding world -"

What Amosta said to Severus before, he repeated to Remus again,

"As for me and Dumbledore."

Amosta rubbed his brows and said, "You can understand that we have some different concepts on how to deal with the upcoming war. But our goals are the same."

"Albus and you are our hope for victory, Amosta—"

After listening to Amosta's explanation, Remus was silent for a long time, and then he solemnly said,

"If anyone wants to cause conflict between you two, it must be Voldemort."

"rest assured--"

Amosta nodded slightly,

"On the day I decided to return to Hogwarts, I think Dumbledore and I both expected that there would be some disputes between us, but the conflicts would not expand and we would seek common ground while reserving differences."

Amosta's assurance reassured Remus, but then he became worried again.

"Albus gave me a similar task as Sirius. He didn't agree with my plan to leave the alchemy workshop. He hoped that I could win the support of my business partners. He said that the workshop was jointly run with the goblins. It is also very important, I hope I can ensure its normal operation. In addition, he plans to reorganize the Order of the Phoenix as soon as possible, Amosta——"

Remus looked into Amosta's eyes and hesitated.

"Given the current situation, do you think it is appropriate for us to leave the UK to promote our business?"

"certainly--"

Amosta said,

"To be honest, Remus, I cooperated with the goblin to open this alchemy workshop not to get a lot of gold in my pocket. The main purpose of its existence is to ensure the independence of Hogwarts and ensure the independence of Hogwarts." "We will not be restricted by the Ministry of Magic and the school board because of funding issues. Dumbledore knows the importance of this matter, so he will let you run the workshop well."

Remus frowned slightly. He seemed to understand what Amosta meant, but it was not very clear.

"Get ready as soon as possible. After Easter, we will set off."

Amosta finally sealed the deal.

Time suddenly became urgent. Only a few hours after Voldemort's return, Amosta's orderly life was broken. He sent several letters in a row, and then he had time to summon Krum with his Patronus. come over.

"sit down--"

Amosta walked from the fireplace to the sofa, handed Krum a cup of unique-smelling herbal tea, and smiled gently at the frightened big boy.

"Actually, I've been wanting to talk to you for a while, Viktor, but I just couldn't find the right time."

As a first-class Quidditch star who is famous in the wizarding world, Krum, although he is a young man under twenty years old, has seen many big scenes, but in front of the equally young wizard in front of him, he still I couldn't help but feel nervous, especially when the other party said such unclear meaning.

"You want to know something about Durmstrang from me?"

There was reserve in Krum's tone.

"I think Professor Karkaroff must have warned you in advance to try not to reveal too much about your school, but with all due respect, if I want to inquire about something, he can't stop me -"

Amosta smiled and said,

"What really confuses me is you, Viktor--"

Amosta came closer to the sofa, his expression still gentle, but his eyes looking at Krum were more probing.

"The first time we met was at last year's Quidditch World Finals. Viktor, with all due respect, that night and after you came to Hogwarts last year, I could feel some of your respect for me. of

It's not surprising, just like many kids who love Quidditch idolize you, it's not surprising that as a Durmstrang who is more focused on strength, you would admire the magic I possess, but I'm curious Yes. Since when, I seem to find that when you face me, well, you seem to be a little afraid or repelled. What, did Karkaroff share some dirty information about me with you? "

Facing Krum who lowered his head, Amosta said in a joking tone,

"Oh, of course, this is just a casual chat between us. If you think I'm not trustworthy, you don't have to tell me -"
