Homecoming from Hogwarts

Chapter 151 Oh, You Want It Too!
On the return trip, there were obviously more wizards in Diagon Alley than in the morning. Harry followed behind Professor Bryan. Along the way, he looked down at the pebbles under his feet that reflected the glare of the sun, and remained silent. .

Since neither of them had time to eat breakfast in the morning, although it was not lunch time, they each ordered something from Tom the bar owner, and found a place away from the guys who were smoking pipes. Sit down.

Both of them were thinking in their hearts, so neither of them spoke.

Amosta chewed the slice of bread, silently recalling the huge mural in the central temple of Avalon Island.

The last recorded picture in the mural is the scene after the shocking duel. The legendary mage Merlin is alone in front of the huge temple, gazing at the high sky, and there is no record of what happened after that.

Amosta is testing a question. If the mysterious tower in the underground world is really left by Merlin as the rumors say, then when did he build the tower before the duel or after the duel? After the duel?

If it was before the duel, to be honest, Amosta would not be too interested in whether or not Merlin left any treasures in the tower, but if it was after the duel... Amosta narrowed his eyes. The eyes and eyes became darker, and the chewing movement of the mouth also stopped.

"...the black shadow in Morgan Le Fay's body, the plan of the four giants of Hogwarts, the double snake staff, and Merlin's black stone tower. Connecting these, it seems that an answer can be obtained."

Unconsciously, Amosta put down the tableware, and tapped his fingers on the uneven wooden table, mobilizing his wisdom,
"The logic is reasonable, but there are still problems. Why can I touch the double snake staff that Godric Gryffindor can't pick up? The prophecies of the previous priests of the Druids also involved me inexplicably. Also, what kind of revelation did that woman Vitia Kriona get?"

"Professor." Harry blinked his glasses and stared at the somewhat muttering Professor Brian, with concern hidden in his eyes, "I thought I heard you talking about Gryffindor just now?"

"what--"

Amosta, who came back to his senses, pursed his lips and calmed Harry's uneasiness with a smile, "I'm just thinking about some problems, nothing to worry about."

He glanced at Harry's eyes, and found that there was a turbulent halo in the eyes of the little wizard in front of him. After thinking for a while, he asked with a chuckle,

"Still confused and angry about what you just saw in the underground world?"

Harry didn't speak, just lowered his head and remained silent. After a while, he asked sullenly,

"In that place, those dark wizards who trade magical creatures as commodities, does Professor Dumbledore know about these things?"

"Existence is reasonable, Potter, you think that underground cave just now and those wizards in the cave are evil and unforgivable, but you have to understand that no matter when, there is always darkness in this world, now, There is a place that can bind those darkness together, and have a relatively reasonable order to restrain them, don't you think this is a good thing, otherwise, those black wizards running around will only hurt more people. What an innocent person."

Amostar didn't answer Potter's question, but said something else.

However, his reasoning obviously failed to enlighten Potter. Looking at Potter whose confusion was still on his face, Amosta thought for a while, and then comforted him.

"Don't be too anxious to understand all this, Potter, some truths can only be truly understood after years of polishing and the experience of facts."

Amosta was about to say something, but suddenly, a wizard who walked in from the back door, wearing a patched wizard robe and carrying the same tattered suitcase made Amosta's eyes freeze, and that wizard, After walking into the bar, he quickly found Amosta. He was surprised at first, and then his pale face showed some joy. However, after noticing Harry sitting opposite Amosta, he hesitated. For a moment, there was no immediate approach.

"- we have no other plans for today, Potter,"

Amostar said to Harry calmly, "Now, I think you'd better go upstairs to rest for a while, and you can arrange your time freely in the afternoon, um. You can go to that Quidditch boutique to have a good look at it." Look at that beautiful big broom!"

Mentioning the unimaginably expensive Firebolt, Harry finally lifted his spirits. After clearing the food on his plate in two or three bites, he quickly went upstairs.

"To my surprise, Amosta, I didn't expect to meet you here—"

The gray-haired Remus Lupine came over, sat in Harry's seat just now, and smiled gently.

Sorry, do we know each other well?

Amosta rolled his eyes, thinking so in his heart, but didn't say much, just said with a sullen face, coldly,

"If you're not selling your herbs down there, what are you doing in the Leaky Cauldron?"

"Werewolves need to eat too-"

Lupine turned a blind eye to Amosta's indifference, just lowered his voice, and said in a casual, natural tone.

There is nothing wrong with this statement, whether it is a wizard or a half-human wizard, they all need to eat, but Amosta still feels a little strange, because he is well aware of the financial situation of the prematurely aging wizard opposite,

"So--" Amosta looked at Lupine with a kind expression, raised his eyebrows a little, "you finally managed to get yourself some gold?"

"It's all thanks to you, Amosta—"

Lupine nodded at Amosta, and said gently, "I got a salary advance from Dumbledore, which made me finally not have to worry about filling my stomach for a while."

A salary advance from Dumbledore?

Amosta frowned in confusion, but then, he came to his senses and showed a surprised expression.

Did Lupine mean to say that he agreed to his previous 'friendly suggestion' to become the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts? !
Because a lot of things happened during this period, if it wasn't for Lupine's reminder, Amosta would have almost forgotten about it!

However, the confusion in Amosta's heart still did not dissipate. At the end of the last meeting, Lupine's reaction did not look like he was going to agree. Unexpectedly, after more than a month, he would actually give it to him silently. Dumbledore submitted his resume?
The so-called abnormality must have a demon, and there must be a reason that he does not know.
Amosta squinted at Lupine who 'insulted' him at the end of the last meeting, with a suspicious voice,
"You agreed... a wise decision. However, Lupine, this surprised me. I thought you would not be able to overcome the hurdle in your heart!"

"I've thought about what you said to me last time, Amosta, as you said, if I can really dedicate myself to the position of professor, then maybe people will have something to say about werewolves. changed"

A look of unnaturalness appeared on Lupine's smiling face. He knew that the young wizard in front of him was powerful, but he really didn't expect him to be so intelligent at such a young age.

"You're lying, Lupine, and I think there must be something else."

Amosta raised his chin slightly, his tone straight.

Lupine didn't speak any more. Amosta's intense gaze made him feel uneasy. He sat there, subconsciously avoiding Amosta's searching gaze.

In fact, no matter what reason Lupine followed his suggestion to go to Hogwarts, it had nothing to do with Amosta. As long as he agreed to this job, Amosta could be regarded as a sigh of relief for himself. However, this evasive look on his face made Amosta even more vigilant,

"Could it be that you and Dumbledore are planning something again... Lupine, meeting me here, isn't it something you planned a long time ago?"

There was a wry smile on the corner of Lupine's mouth. He never thought that Amosta would have such doubts. Of course, considering that he had 'tricked' Amosta, it was very normal for him to be so vigilant.

"actually."

Amosta directly interrupted the excuse that Lupine had finally come up with,

"Unfortunately, Lupine, I happen to be good at Legilimency. If you're not a master of Occlumency, I don't think you need to go out of your way to weave lies here to get me."

Hearing this, several fine lines appeared on Lupine's forehead.

Of course, the reason why he made up his mind to go to Hogwarts to become a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts is not just simple poverty, but a deeper reason. He got some information from Dumbledore's letter. The Ministry of Magic has not made it public , some information about the escape purpose of my 'old friend' who has been imprisoned in Azkaban for 12 years.
Amosta Bryan, Lupine knew that he didn't have a deep friendship with this man, but Dumbledore seemed to appreciate him very much
"I think. Amosta, you must already know about Black"

"Oh!"

Amosta's abyss-like eyes suddenly melted away, and a sudden realization appeared on his calm face,

"I underestimated your ambition, Lupine!"

Amosta thumped the table heavily with his clenched left fist,

"I've become so dull, I didn't even realize... you also want to take fifty thousand Galleons from the Ministry of Magic, right?"
