Homecoming from Hogwarts

Chapter 509 Worry
The battle between Professor Brain and Professor Moody took place in the foyer of the auditorium before dinner. Many young wizards witnessed the battle, and the young wizards who missed the wonderful scene also learned about it during the discussion during dinner. .

The students no longer paid attention to what caused the conflict between the two professors, but were instead interested in the duel itself.There is no doubt that the winner of this conflict is Professor Brain. No one will be surprised by this. Professor Brain has had so many outstanding performances in the past two years. If he loses in a conflict with others, That's an incredible thing.

Professor Moody was not seen at the staff table. People would think that he was embarrassed because he lost the duel with Professor Brain and did not dare to show up. However, Neville, who came back panting from the Quidditch field, told everyone, Professor Moody is patrolling the campus.

"No wonder Dad has such a high opinion of Professor Moody -" Ron said to the people around him, "You know what I mean!"

"No one can fail to understand, little fool." George said kindly.

Harry lowered his head and stared at the pattern on the silver cup in front of him, looking very thoughtful.

"What are you thinking about, Harry?" Hermione noticed that Harry was in a bad mood and asked quietly, "Is it because of Professor Blaine helping Malfoy?"

"I don't understand--" Harry seemed to have opened up a chatterbox and kept talking,
"Did you hear what the female reporter named Skeeter said in the Daily Prophet? The Ministry of Magic still thinks that Bertha Jorkins is just missing, but how could this be? With the help of Professor Blaine, they have already They captured the woman named Cleona, didn't they? If they had interrogated her, they should have known that Voldemort had killed her. Also, they still claimed that Cleona and the masked men were together, but they They obviously don’t know each other, even if they went in the wrong direction. But Professor Blaine clearly knows everything, but——”

"Oh, shut up, Harry!"

Hermione was listening patiently, but she suddenly interrupted Harry's doubts and looked nervously at the top of the auditorium, "Professor Blaine is here!"

"Alastor has fought evil all his life, and as you can see, he himself has suffered a lot of persecution in this long struggle, Amosta--"

No one reported to Dumbledore what happened in the hall earlier, but after he came down from the office to the auditorium, he should have known everything. He patiently comforted Amosta,
"His tolerance for certain behaviors is very low. Of course, the way he uses magic to punish the little wizard is indeed inappropriate, but this does not mean that he lacks the ability to control his emotions as you think. No. Stablize."

"Haha, our beloved principal has always been very tolerant of people with special talents——"

Amosta did not speak, but Snape, who heard these comments, smiled sarcastically.
"But you have to be careful, Amosta. That lunatic treats everyone as a dark wizard except for Dumbledore. Your good reputation has no value in his eyes. He might ask for a search next." Maybe your office and suitcase—"

Amosta looked at Professor Snape in slight surprise.

"Why, Professor Moody made such a request of you?"

Snape pursed his thin lips and his face became gloomy. Dumbledore obviously knew about this. He didn't look very surprised. He just looked at Professor Snape slightly apologetically.

"I have stressed to Alastor that you can be trusted, Severus."

"Oh, it's such an honor to have your trust, Headmaster Dumbledore."

Snape said coldly.

Neither Amosta nor Professor Snape would change their personal views on Mad-Eye Moody just because of his few words. Dumbledore knew this very well, and after sighing helplessly, he No more words were spoken.

The atmosphere at the faculty table was a bit tense. Amosta didn't like being in this atmosphere. After wiping the corners of his mouth with a napkin, he stood up and left the table.

Instead of returning to his office, he walked down the Great Hall to the Gryffindor table.

Where he passed, the discussion at the dinner table seemed to have been silenced by a silencing curse, and the little wizards all looked at him curiously.

"Can you please say a word, Harry?"

Amosta stood behind Harry and said.

"Oh, of course, Professor Blaine!" Harry said as he stood up hastily.

"And you, Hermione, I also have something to ask you, come to my office--" Amosta looked at Hermione who was burying her head in pouring gravy on the baked potatoes, but her ears were perked up and said. .

Hermione and Harry both stood up in a hurry and followed Professor Braine to the hall. Across the table, Ron, who found that he had not been greeted, put down his tableware in disappointment and puffed his cheeks as he looked at the three people leaving.

Although it is only September, Hogwarts is located among the mountains and black waters. After dark, the late autumn wind is already wandering in the ancient castle. It blows towards them, making Harry and Hermione get wet. Goosebumps, and climate change has almost no impact on a powerful wizard like Amosta.

When walking through the corridor on the second floor, he paused in the corridor, pointed at the spacious grass, squinted his eyes for a few seconds, and then walked away again.

"Professor Moody-" Using the light of Hagrid's cabin, Harry also spotted the figure limping on the playground, and whispered to Hermione in surprise, "He is still patrolling?"

They were already familiar with Professor Blaine's office, so they didn't need any instructions. After entering, Harry and Hermione walked to the sofa on their own, and Professor Blaine sat down beside them without returning to his desk.

"It's like this -" Amosta looked at Harry, "I met Sirius in Hogsmeade this afternoon."

Harry immediately opened his eyes with anticipation.

Amosta sank into the soft sofa and said with a smile,

"He has two main purposes for coming. First, he hopes that I can convey his apology for the quarrel you had during the summer vacation."

"Why didn't he tell me himself?" Harry said angrily.

"Hoho, I didn't ask--" Looking at Harry, who had a hint of teenage rebelliousness in his face, Amosta smiled pointedly, "But I guess you don't want to tell me in person. His reasons for apologizing are pretty much the same.”

Harry, whose face was red with embarrassment, pretended not to notice Hermione covering her mouth and snickering. He quickly changed the subject.

"What's the second thing, Professor Brain?"

"The second thing actually has nothing to do with you, but I think since Sirius is your godfather, then you also have the right to know this-"

Amosta stopped smiling and said calmly,
"Sirius has decided to join the Ministry of Magic and become an Auror. You know what an Auror is, Harry. Professor Moody did this before he retired."

Harry nodded subconsciously, but when he really realized what he heard, he immediately opened his mouth wide and gasped in surprise,
"Sirius became an Auror?! How could that happen? How could he even think of doing this!"

"This is not surprising. Sirius is an energetic adult wizard with superb magical skills. Now that he has cleared his grievances, it is natural for him to find a job to reflect his value. , think about Principal Dumbledore, who is still devoting himself at more than 110 years old."

"But--"

Harry closed his open mouth, his green eyes flashing with worry in the bright yellow light.

Auror is a profession that fights against dark wizards. How dangerous this job is. From Professor Moody, Harry can get an intuitive feeling. Sirius is not Professor Blaine or Professor Dumbledore. He can handle any situation. .Just like the night of the Quidditch final, Sirius had a very difficult time dealing with the three masked wizards who appeared in their box. In fact, if it weren't for Cleona's help, he would probably Something bad will happen to you that night!
Harry suddenly felt a sense of urgency in his heart, and hurried back to the dormitory to write to Sirius, urging him to choose carefully, but then he thought, since Sirius had made a decision, he should support it.

Two thoughts were fighting in Harry's mind, leaving him unable to make a choice for a while.

Amosta didn't say anything more to Harry, but looked directly at Hermione,

"Hermione, I came to you to find out how everyone's training is currently going on the course?"
