Hogwarts Homecoming

After some persuasion, Amelia finally convinced the hotel security that the animal following her was a gentle dog, not a black bear that escaped from the zoo. However, such a large dog still did not reassure the handsome waiter.

"If you insist on taking it upstairs, ma'am, I must follow you. This is responsible for your safety and the safety of other guests."

The handsome waiter said firmly.

Amelia glanced at Sirius with a 'complaining' look, but Sirius, who had just promised outside the hotel that everything would be safe, was not so confident now. He lowered his head and stared at the bright red goose down carpet a little embarrassedly.

"Okay--"

Amelia pursed her lips and had nothing to say about the reasonable request of the non-Maj waiter.

The elevator struggled to carry two people and an overweight dog to the upper floors. With a crisp prompt sound, the elevator hall door opened, and Sirius was eager to rush out immediately. This was regarded as a dangerous signal by the No-Maj waiter. He hurriedly dragged Sirius's tail and stumbled to the ground!

"Hi!"

Amelia immediately hurriedly stopped the slightly excited black dog, and then nodded to the No-Maj waiter with an apologetic face,

"Sorry. It, um. has been locked up for too long, and it may be a little excited."

The good-tempered waiter didn't mind. He stood up from the ground and adjusted his tilted hat.

"Oh, you don't have to apologize, ma'am. You just need to make sure your dog won't bite people. Please go this way."

As if he knew that he shouldn't cause trouble to others, Sirius resisted the urge to run away and stayed honestly beside Amelia.

Late at night, the empty corridor was filled with the sounds of Amelia and the waiter. They were heading to Amosta's room, and suddenly--

Click!

A door they had just passed by suddenly opened, and a wizard with upturned eyebrows flashed out from inside. In the gap between the doors, Amelia found many familiar faces in the room.

"Amelia?"

Eriel stared in surprise,

"Why are you here?"

"The task Mr. Graves gave me is not over yet, is it?"

Amelia was not surprised to see her colleagues here, she said expressionlessly.

"Oh, that's right--"

Eriel frowned and said, he looked suspiciously at the big dog with bared teeth beside Amelia,

"You're starting to keep a pet, Amelia, I think. This dog shouldn't have any special bloodline, right?"

In front of the No-Maj, Eriel changed to a more moderate statement. In fact, he wanted to confirm whether this big and scary dog ​​had the bloodline of some magical animal.

"After you rudely broke into my house, my parents thought that our family seemed to need a little extra security measures, so they asked me to buy it from the No-Maj pet market. I think this should not be a crime, right?"

"Oh, of course not, um."

Eriel was a little embarrassed, and at the same time, a little surprised that Amelia's words became sharp. After hesitating for a while, he shrugged and returned to the room.

"They belong to the Security Department, and they are Aurors--"

Amelia turned her head and said to Sirius, and the No-Maj waiter who didn't understand what she said raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"After such a long journey, I think you must not have had time for dinner."

The door opened, and Sirius rushed into the room immediately and saw Amosta sitting behind the desk holding a book, looking at the door with a calm and composed smile on his face. He nodded to the waiter,

"Please prepare some food for us."

The Muggle waiter bowed, confirmed that the big black dog showed no signs of madness, and closed the door.

Huh--

The image of the big black dog was distorted, and then the image of Sirius appeared in the dim light.

"You don't seem to be too surprised by my appearance, Amosta?"

Sirius strode over and gave Amosta, who came out from behind the desk, a hug. After carefully looking at the calm face, Sirius smiled with satisfaction.

"Oh, in fact, when I sensed your and Fawkes' magic appearing within the hotel, I was indeed surprised for a moment, but by the time you went upstairs, I had probably figured it out--"

Amosta smiled quietly,

"Maybe Remus sent a message to Headmaster Dumbledore, and you were sent here by Dumbledore?"

"Oh, nothing can be hidden from you--"

Sirius said with a grin, he looked around, saw the expensive Muggle brands of wine on the wine rack, walked out and took out a bottle of whiskey, poured half a glass and drank it all, then wiped his mouth and sighed comfortably,

"To What happened? This outstanding little witch rushed to Hogwarts and told us the general situation. Dumbledore said, you should have some understanding of the situation, but do you know who took your wand? " "Wait a minute--" Amosta was about to say what he thought, but he frowned slightly when he realized something, and turned to look at Amelia who stood there silently after entering the room, "You went to Hogwarts in person?" "Yes" The girl behind the door suddenly became as reserved as when they first met. She didn't dare to look into Amosta's eyes, and lowered her head to stare at the carpet.

"Remus thought that you must tell Mr. Dumbledore about your situation as soon as possible, and he didn't dare to trust those goblins completely, so he asked me to go."

Amosta looked at Amelia, whose eyes were always dodging, and fell silent. Amelia also remained silent. The atmosphere in the room was a little strange for a while.

"So--"

After a while, Ammosta sighed,

"You already know everything?"

Amelia was shocked when she heard it. She shook her head subconsciously, but her eyes met Ammosta's eyes as deep as the starry sky. She couldn't lie. Finally, she bit her lip and nodded imperceptibly,

"Mom and Dad mentioned--"

Amelia hesitated, but a sense of depression suddenly exploded in her heart, making her unable to restrain her doubts.

"Why did you hide all this? You guessed it when you first saw me, didn't you?"

The girl behind the door widened her clear eyes, her thin shoulders trembling slightly because of excessive force as she clenched her fists, but her eyes revealed a tenacious strength that moved Amosta.

"You obviously know that we are a family, but why do you pretend not to know us?"

Ahem!

Sirius spit out a mouthful of wine directly, he covered his mouth and tried to stop himself from coughing, staring at the two people in the confrontation in astonishment.

"I don't want to deceive you, Amelia--"

Amosta didn't hide his tired face. He rubbed his eyebrows and said calmly

"When I was at the immigration office, after seeing your face and hearing your last name, I did have a rough guess about your identity, including in Sancia. I must admit that I can't completely eliminate my curiosity about you and hope to know something about you."

Amosta met Amelia's burning gaze. He had an illusion that the sight of this girl who was younger than him was sharper than Dumbledore.

"But I don't want to disturb your life too much."

"This is a completely selfish idea!"

Amelia didn't know where she got the courage from, but she was angry about Amosta's concealment.

Amelia rushed to Amosta from behind the door. She really acted like an elder to Amosta and angrily scolded him, "We are a family, aren't we? You should stay with us, Amosta, why do you think you will disturb our lives?" Panting, tears welled up in Amelia's eyes, "Belina, my sister, my parents have always treasured the photo album with her. They have always regretted what happened back then, regretting that they didn't accept her again, didn't accept you. Are you really unwilling to give them even a chance to forgive their sins?"
