Hogwarts Homecoming

Professor Brain committed a murder? Harry blinked his green eyes, with surprise and anger in his eyes.

He would never simply think that Professor Brain's hands were not stained with blood. However, it was all the blood of those dark wizards who had committed heinous crimes, and it was absolutely impossible to kill innocent people indiscriminately!

Dumbledore had a thoughtful look on his face. From this description alone, he noticed something was wrong. However, he did not rush to question. Instead, he maintained his demeanor and asked politely,

"So, why was Amosta considered a suspect?"

Anger confused Amelia's thoughts, making it impossible for her to tell the whole thing in an organized manner. She could only choose the most important thing to say,

"The murdered wizard belonged to the Parliamentary Wand Licensing Office. Based on the preliminary survey and investigation of the incident site, the Aurors determined that he died from the Fire Curse. Amosta's wand that was sealed there was also missing. When Amosta entered the country, the head of the Department of Security, Trak Graves, believed that Amosta was a dangerous person, so he refused to issue him a wand permit, and his wand was confiscated!"

Harry opened his mouth and wanted to ask why Graves thought that Professor Brain was a dangerous person. Professor Brain clearly saved nearly 100,000 wizards on the night of the Quidditch final! However, he caught a glimpse of Professor Dumbledore. With the solemn look on his old face, he remained silent rationally.

"Is that why?"

Professor McGonagall's sharp voice revealed anger,

"That's why Amosta was detained. With all due respect, ma'am, is your security department too careless in exercising its rights?

What does death by fire prove, and as for Amosta's wand being stolen? Oh, they suspect Amosta committed murder to get his wand back? This is ridiculous, why don't they suspect that some dark wizard covets Amosta's power, so they take this opportunity to take his wand?

To me, Amosta is a complete victim. Your Ministry of Magic failed to take good care of his wand, causing him to suffer heavy losses, and imprisoned him based on mere speculation without any reliable evidence. This is completely unacceptable. yes."

Professor McGonagall's chest rose and fell violently,

"It's total nonsense!"

"Even stupid Fudge wouldn't do this" Ron muttered softly.

Amelia was embarrassed by the professor's accusation, but she had nothing to say. In this matter, the behavior of the Ministry of Security also made her feel deeply ashamed.

Dumbledore remained calm and composed. He asked Amelia's name.

"So, Amelia, were you there when Amosta was arrested?"

After receiving a positive reply, he asked again,

"Didn't Amosta defend himself or provide some evidence to prove that he was not at the scene when the murder occurred?"

"No--"

Amelia shook her head,

"He did ask the Aurors why he was being arrested, and after that, he followed them back to the hotel."

Professor McGonagall, who was looking angry, immediately frowned upon hearing this, and Hermione, who was the first to get up, also blinked in confusion.

The people in the office were all close to Amosta and understood his style of doing things. No one would have thought that Amosta would be intimidated by a group of Aurors.

Faced with the grounds for arrest that are full of mistakes, at first glance, even they can find a lot of faults. With Amosta's wisdom, it is impossible to be speechless because of this. There must be something in it. question.

"Albus--"

Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore and called out softly.

"I can't make an accurate judgment at the moment, Minerva, unless-"

Dumbledore looked at Amelia with his blue eyes,

"I can get more information."

"Of course, Mr. Dumbledore, I can tell you everything I know."

Amelia immediately understood what Dumbledore meant and said firmly.

Thus, a long narrative began.

Amelia started from the first time she met Amosta and Remus at the Immigration Office, what she experienced when she was with them, and some of the situations they faced. Except for the things she didn't want to and couldn't expose for the time being. , she told all the details about her relationship with Amosta.

As she narrated, the portraits on the walls began to whisper again, and the few living people in the office, except for her and the great Dumbledore, gradually showed surprised expressions.

Amosta's time away from Hogwarts was not too long, only more than ten days. Unexpectedly, in this short period of time, Amosta had already had many wonderful experiences in the American wizarding world.

"I think there's a conspiracy, Albus!"

Half an hour later, the thirsty Amelia finally finished everything. Professor McGonagall immediately looked at Dumbledore and said,

"Perhaps it was an accomplice of the vampire who took Amosta's wand out of revenge!"

"We all agreed that Amosta wouldn't take an innocent life to get his wand back, and based on what Amelia told us, I don't think Amosta would be able to take his wand back under the circumstances. Is there anything I need to use my wand for?"

Dumbledore nodded slightly and expressed his opinion.

"But how can we help him?"

Amelia said anxiously,

"If the murderer is never caught, then Amosta will always be under guard. Graves is biased against a powerful wizard like Amosta. He..."

Dumbledore stretched out a hand to stop Amelia from continuing. Amelia's urgency and worry made his eyes flash with strange colors, and then he stood up from his office.

"Based on what I know about Amosta, Amelia--"

After hearing all this, Dumbledore became calmer. He said pleasantly,

"Generally speaking, he would not put himself in such a disadvantageous position unless being monitored was in line with his plan."

"What is Amosta planning, Albus?"

Professor McGonagall asked.

"Unfortunately, I cannot make an accurate judgment, Minerva, but I believe that Amosta can protect his own safety, even if he does not have a wand in his hand."

Dumbledore walked out from behind the desk, and under everyone's gaze, walked quickly to Fawkes who was standing on the golden branch.

"Of course, we do need to be vigilant. If Amosta really needs help, someone can help him, so... I'm sorry, Fox, I need you to pick up someone for me."

Fox flashed his beautiful ruby ​​eyes for a few times, and then disappeared in a ball of fire.

"Mr. Dumbledore--"

Amelia understood what Dumbledore meant. He thought that Amos had something on his mind, so he was willing to stay in the hotel, and he was going to send someone back to the United States with him to look for a chance to meet Amos. Ta asked about the situation, but——

"If you want to send someone back to New York with me. You know, wizards need to obtain approval to enter the United States. I'm afraid we don't have that much time."

"Oh, please don't worry-"

Dumbledore smiled happily and said,

"I believe the person I called has a way to hide himself without being discovered."

Hermione's eyebrows moved slightly, and she subconsciously looked at Harry. The next second, the gorgeous firelight appeared in Dumbledore's office again, and Sirius walked out of the firelight with a solemn expression.
