Hogwarts Homecoming
Chapter 943: Plot
"Maybe you misunderstood me, Amelia--"
Faced with Amelia's emotions gradually sliding into uncontrollable, Amosta sighed heavily,
"Everything that happened in the past, whether right or wrong, has passed. It is foolish to hold on to hatred. I don't hate your parents because they abandoned my mother.
Your family has a happy and joyful life. My intervention will only tear apart your peaceful life in the past, which is inconsistent with my original intention.
Moreover, I believe you also know that the British wizarding world is currently facing a huge test. Voldemort's return has once again cast the shadow of war over the heads of wizards living in that land. If you know a little about Voldemort, you should know his cruel style. Once our relationship is known to the public, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for you and your parents."
Voldemort.
Amelia was stunned.
She did not think too much about this dark wizard who Albus Dumbledore had already preached to return to the people.
More than a decade ago, the riots that Voldemort had set off in Britain did not spread to other countries. For most magical civilizations, he was just a character in history books.
Amelia, who was well-informed, had read some introductions to the dark wizard called "Mysterious Man" by British wizards. If the things recorded in the book were true, Amelia bit her lip. Amosta would definitely stand firmly at the forefront of resisting the dark wizard, and according to Voldemort's past style, he would not have been able to not deal with their family.
Sirius stood in front of the bar, holding an empty glass, watching the two people confronting each other with their mouths opening wider and wider, revealing a funny expression.
The only thing he could confirm was that Amelia was probably not what he imagined. She was an admirer of Amos, so she went to help Amos. Amos seemed to be a relative.
"I'm a little confused--"
Sirius scratched his head, and his voice was shrill because of the surprise.
"Who are you--"
Knock, knock, knock--
The sudden knock on the door made Sirius, who was about to ask something, change his expression. He immediately activated the Animagus and turned into a big dog again in the distorted dim light.
"Come in--"
With Amos's slightly heavy greeting, the Muggle waiter who had left earlier came in with a dining cart.
As if he had noticed that the atmosphere in the room was a little depressing, the Muggle waiter glanced at the dull Amelia and the big black dog by the wine rack in surprise, but did not look at Amos.
Amos watched the Muggle waiter walk into the room, his pupils shrank slightly, but then returned to normal. He, who had been solemn because of Amelia's questioning, relaxed his expression and calmly watched the waiter bring three steaks, salads and some snacks to the table and untie the lid.
"Sir--"
The waiter raised his head and looked at Amosta stiffly. He raised the red wine in his hand,
"Do you need me to open the wine decanter for you?"
Amosta thought about it, raised his hand to the waiter, and made an invitation gesture.
The waiter opened the red wine and poured it into the decanter, holding it in his hand and shaking it gently. The wine, as deep as blood, swirled in the glass container, and a mellow and rich aroma gradually filled the whole process. It lasted for more than ten minutes. Finally, the waiter took out three high-foot glasses from the dining car and poured some red wine into each of them.
"Is there anything else I can do for you?"
Perhaps the fatigue of more than ten minutes consumed too much physical strength, the waiter asked with a slight breath.
"No, after the meal, I will call the front desk to clean up--"
Amosta walked over, picked up the goblet with an excited expression, put it under his nose and took a deep sniff, revealing a happy look.
"Then, I wish you two a happy meal."
The waiter was relieved by Amosta's satisfied expression. He bowed and said, then pushed the dining cart out of the room quickly.
"I'm starving!"
Sirius immediately returned to his true form, complained to Amosta, and then immediately sat at the table.
"Come on--"
Amosta waved to Amelia who was frozen there.
Although she hadn't had a drop of water for a day and was starving, Amelia didn't care about it at all. She had been thinking about what Amostar said. The danger of Voldemort, the safety of her parents, and the unfortunate experiences Amostar had suffered in her childhood.
"We are a family, aren't we?"
Amelia's call brought her back to her senses. Her voice was no longer clear and became hoarse.
"No matter what happens, we should--"
"Let's eat something first--"
Amostar interrupted her with a smile, "Only delicious food can't be missed. We can talk about the rest slowly--"
Amelia pursed her lips and slowly moved to the dining table, while Sirius had already started to eat heartily.
"Then--"
Under the dim light, Amostar raised his glass and shook it gently, with a flash of amusement in his eyes.
"Anyway, Sirius, Amelia, I want to thank you. You are running around for me--"
"Oh, it's totally unnecessary, Amostar--" Sirius mumbled incoherently with meat wrapped in his mouth. He picked up the glass and poured it into his mouth like drinking water, and Amelia also took a sip.
"Oh, right!"
The atmosphere at the dinner table was still somewhat dull. Sirius glanced at Amosta, who was cutting steak and sipping wine with little interest, and thought for a while.
"You just said that you had some guesses about who took your wand, right? Who was it?"
"It's not hard to guess, is it?"
Amosta tilted his head and stared at the empty glass, his eyes unclear.
"The person who did this took my wand inside the Magic Capitol, killed people with Fiendfyre, and then left calmly. No one noticed. The precautions were useless in front of him, and he left no clues. What kind of person could do this?"
"You suspect it's someone inside the Capitol!"
Amelia was startled and stood up subconsciously to ask, but maybe she stood up too quickly, her body was unstable for a while, and she held her head with a dizzy look.
"What's wrong with you?"
Seeing her like this, Sirius asked in surprise, but then his brows furrowed. The strong dizziness caused Sirius's vision to be seriously blurred. Unlike Amelia who was confused about the situation, Sirius was an experienced wizard after all, and an Auror. He immediately realized what happened--
"Food. Let's be careful--"
Sirius forced himself to stand up, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't do it.
Before he fainted completely, he heard a heavy sound. It was the sound of Amelia falling to the ground. He tried to reach out to Amosta, who had been lying on the table at some point, but before his fingertips touched Amosta, his body softened, his eyes were suddenly wrapped in darkness, his body slid to the ground, and he fainted.
Tick, tick, tick--
The room was silent, only the dark red wine in the decanter that was accidentally touched by Sirius poured onto the table and dripped to the ground.
This silence lasted for an hour and a half until the waxing moon climbed to the center of the night, and the silence was broken.
Click——
"Sir?"
The Muggle waiter pushed the dining cart and opened the door, but he did not come in. Instead, he tilted his head and peeked through the crack of the door.
"I was waiting for you to call me to clean up. But I never got there, so I came to see if there was anything I could do for you?"
He called twice, but no one in the room responded.
"Sir? Is there anything I can do for you?"
The waiter slightly raised his voice, let go of the armrest of the dining cart, squeezed in through the crack of the door, and then closed the door.
When he saw Amelia lying on the ground and Amosta lying on the table, the waiter's eyes flashed with surprise, but when he saw Sirius next to the table leg, the Muggle waiter's expression suddenly became suspicious.
"Sir?"
A magic wand was faintly visible on the sleeve of the Muggle waiter. He approached slowly, stepping slowly.
"You seem to be drunk. Do you need me to help you to bed?"
The Muggle waiter kept calling and finally came to the dining table. He carefully looked at Amelia who was lying on the ground, and his expression was slightly relaxed. Then, he squinted his eyes and carefully observed the sleeping Amosta.
"Sir?"
The Muggle tester gently pushed Amosta, but Amosta was unmoved and did not even make a sound.
In the dim light, the Muggle waiter stood up and breathed a sigh of relief. He pulled at his tightly tied bow tie, and the disguise of doubt was removed. His eyes became sinister and cold.
"Yes, Sirius Black Animagus?"
The Muggle waiter looked at Sirius's face and quickly recognized his identity. This made him feel confused and uneasy, but soon, this uneasiness was thrown behind him.
"There is no time--" The Muggle waiter whispered, and then the wand in his hand slowly pointed at Amosta.
