Hogwarts Homecoming

"Are you going back, Amelia?"

When Amelia and Sirius, who had turned into a big black dog, walked out of Amosta's room and hurried towards the elevator, Uriel, who had just blocked them when he came in, appeared in front of the two of them at the right time, his eyebrows were raised high,

"Are you here just to have a midnight snack with Brian?"

"This has nothing to do with you, Uriel--"

Amelia now has a strong resentment towards these people in the Security Department, and she said with a cold face.

Uriel shrugged his shoulders, and he glanced at the closed door of the room where Brian stayed as if nothing had happened, with suspicion and hesitation in his eyes.

"If you are worried that Amosta will sneak away, why don't you go in and check, Uriel?"

Amelia accurately captured the emotions in Uriel's eyes, and she said mercilessly.

"Oh——"

Eriel's face moved for a moment, but then he smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly,

"I think we'd better not offend Mr. Blaine again."

Amelia turned her head away and bypassed Eriel's trial directly, and walked towards the elevator with big strides. Sirius bared his teeth at Eriel and followed him.

One person and one dog quickly left the World Trade Center. After a while of running, they rushed into a sycamore forest. After confirming that they were not followed by Aurors, Sirius returned to human form.

As the most advanced human body transformation, Animagus will not have too many wizards who master it in each magical civilization. Before meeting Sirius, Amelia had never met a wizard who mastered this transformation. She stared at Sirius, who had regained his human form, with great curiosity, and suddenly blinked and said,

"You used the Animagus to escape from Azkaban?"

"Yes, that's it--"

Sirius was surprised by the intelligence of this little girl who didn't know what kind of messed-up relationship she had with Amosstar. He looked at her with admiration,

"Those Dementors can't identify well, which gave me an opportunity to take advantage of. Of course, this trick is no longer useful now, because Azkaban now has other identification measures, so--"

Sirius took out the fangs Amosstar gave him from his pocket and held them in his palm. The floating fangs trembled slightly, but always pointed in one direction.

Sirius raised his head, squinted his eyes at the scattered buildings in the direction pointed by the fangs, and then said concisely,

"Use a flying broom, this is the most suitable. I think that American Aurors should have been trained to use flying brooms for tracking before taking up their posts?"

"Oh——"

Amelia's cheeks turned red, and she stammered,

"Sorry. I--I haven't received special training, and, uh, I'm not very good at flying brooms."

"Okay, I can take you."

Sirius said nonchalantly, he took out a Nimbus 2001 from his bag, stepped on it and waved to Amelia,

"Come on, you can help us cast the Disillusionment Charm to avoid being discovered by Muggles."

Amelia nodded softly, then raised her wand and tapped Sirius' shoulder-after doing the same to herself, she stepped on the broom.

Although not as gifted as Harry and James in flying a broom, Sirius' flying skills were equally first-rate. He tapped the ground with his toes, and the scenes on both sides suddenly blurred in Amelia's eyes. In an instant, the two of them had appeared hundreds of feet in the air.

Glancing at the void under her feet, Amelia's face suddenly turned pale. She screamed uncontrollably and grabbed Sirius's robe that was blown by the wind. But before she could calm down, in order to avoid a tall building in front, Sirius, who held up the fangs with one hand and controlled the broom handle with one hand, suddenly turned in a direction.

The strong swing made Amelia scream again, and she tightly held Sirius' waist!

"Are you okay!"

Sirius shouted loudly without turning his head in the rumbling wind.

"I"

Resisting the urge to vomit, Amelia tried her best not to look at the building speeding by her side, her voice was shrill,

"I can handle it."

"That's good!"

Sirius shouted, and then, with a sharp dive, he avoided the sightseeing corridor connecting the two buildings.

The sudden feeling of weightlessness almost made Amelia faint, but Sirius' solemn voice startled her heart,

"We're almost there!"

Almost there? !

Amelia's eyes flashed with astonishment. At this moment, it was no more than two minutes since she and Sirius had been tracking. She thought the vampire who stole the fangs would Apparate to a far place, but she didn't expect him to be nearby.

Sirius controlled the broomstick and landed on the roof of a fast food restaurant. He carefully felt the feeling transmitted to him by the fangs and confirmed that the vampire who poisoned them was in the building in front of him. He was about to get off the broomstick, but found that the young girl behind him was still holding his waist tightly.

"Ahem, we're here--"

Sirius coughed heavily, and embarrassment flashed in his gray eyes.

After a short silence, Amelia neither spoke nor let go of Sirius' waist, but stared at the building in front of her with disbelief.

"Ahem, Amelia?"

Sirius couldn't see Amelia's expression behind him. He saw that the girl was still holding his waist, and the unnatural look in her eyes became more and more intense.

"Oh, sorry--"

Amelia came back to her senses, she quickly let go of Sirius, jumped off the broom, and still looked at the building in front of her in shock,

"How could it be but how is this possible?"

Sirius stared at the fang in his palm, feeling it carefully, and after a moment he looked up at Amelia,

"I can be sure that the fang that Amosta gave me does point here. The vampire who poisoned us is in this building. You seem surprised, Amelia?"

Amelia blinked hard, staring blankly at the brightly lit building, confusion in her voice,

"But. This is the Woolworth Building, the location of the American Magic Congress?"

Hearing this, Sirius's eyebrows froze, and he immediately realized the problem.

Last night, a staff member of the Magical Congress of the United States was murdered inside the building, and Amosita's wand was lost. It can be imagined that the alert level of the Magical Congress Building tonight must have been raised to the highest level. How dare this vampire break in? What method did he use to ignore those security measures?

"Let's go in and take a look."

Sirius said solemnly, he put away his flying broom and turned into a black dog again.

"Dylan?"

Amelia almost ran towards the building at a running speed. She walked into the door shared by Muggles and wizards, and looked at an old wizard who was sleeping with a newspaper covering his face behind the revolving door.

"Who went in before me?"

The old wizard seemed to be sleeping soundly, but after Amelia asked the question, he did not take off the newspaper on his face, and said in an unclear voice,

"Your immediate boss, Amelia--"

"Graves?"

Amelia screamed, but Dylan seemed to be really asleep and did not answer the question.

"Hey, keep your dog under control, little girl, it looks dangerous!"

Behind the revolving door, several wizards were holding peepholes and honesty probes and staring at Amelia with suspicion, because just when they were about to check the overly large dog, it bared its teeth and looked like it was going to bite someone. After they retreated in shock, it immediately jumped into the building and squatted in the lobby waiting for Amelia.

"Oh, sorry--"

Amelia called out,

"I was distracted just now. I didn't expect Mr. Graves to come back to work so late."

"Oh, who knows?"

A wizard with chestnut curly hair listlessly scanned Amelia with a probe a few times,

"Maybe he came to check if we are lazy. Okay, let's go in--"

The vampire disguised as Graves swaggered into the Magical Congress of the United States of America. Amelia couldn't help thinking so, but she glanced at the spyglass hanging above her head and didn't understand how the vampire avoided the alarm measures.

Downstairs--

Amelia rushed to Sirius who was squatting there. Before she could ask the vampire where he was, Sirius raised his forefoot, revealing a sharp nail and pointed at the ground.
