Homecoming from Hogwarts

Chapter 572 Snape’s Clues
"The first project is to test your courage, so we are not going to tell you what it is. The courage to face the unknown is an important quality for wizards. You must do it entirely on your own and may not ask or accept any help from your teachers. , the only weapon in their hands is their own wand. They will not settle the situation of the second project until the first project is over."

After Barty Crouch gave the necessary reminders in accordance with the regulations, tonight's storm seemed to have come to an end.

Many people felt that there was no need to stay here anymore. Barty quickly left Hogwarts through the fireplace in the room, but Ludo Bagman chose to stay here, so Dumbledore arranged for Sn Pu took him to a resting place.Karkaroff and Maxim had already left with Viktor and Fleur.

The two warriors obviously had something to say. Before they left, one looked at Hermione and the other looked at Amosta, but they were both hurriedly taken away by their principal.

On the contrary, the two warriors of Hogwarts were left here.

"If there's nothing else, I'll take Miss Granger back to her dormitory. So much happened tonight and she needs to rest now."

Professor McGonagall told Dumbledore and Amosta that it was obvious that she was worried and not as happy as others thought.

"wait--"

Amosta said suddenly. He pondered for a moment and looked at Professor McGonagall.

"If it's convenient, Professor McGonagall, could you please escort Miss Granger back to the lounge and reveal some of the conclusions we reached during tonight's discussion to the students who are waiting for the conclusion?"

Professor McGonagall raised her brows, her eyes looking much softer, and Hermione pursed her lips in gratitude. She knew very well the intention of Professor Blaine's instructions.

Now, only Dumbledore, Amostar, Professor Moody were left in the room, and I don't know if Cedric left with him.

To be honest, he was probably the most aggrieved person tonight.The focus of everyone's attention is either the damaged rights and interests of the warriors of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, or the truth about Hermione Granger's name being ejected from the Goblet of Fire tonight, which completely changed the situation. He threw it aside.

"Cedric, I suggest you go back and rest--"

Dumbledore said, looking at Cedric who was at a loss with a smile,
"I believe that Pomona and Hufflepuff students are waiting to celebrate with you. They finally have an excuse to celebrate, and it would be unreasonable to take this opportunity away from them."

Amosta also gave Cedric an encouraging and appreciative smile, which finally allowed Cedric to find a sense of existence as a warrior. He nodded to them respectfully and opened the door. And go.

"That despicable Karkaroff!"

After Cedric left, Moody immediately roared,
"I bet it has something to do with him - he has always resented Amosta for defeating him in the competition to host the tournament, and has been planning to take revenge and want to cause some trouble for Hogwarts. I You have seen through him. You must have not forgotten how he escaped punishment and framed himself for the bad things he did."

"Alastor—"

Dumbledore called out calmly, his expression showing nothing unusual.

"If you'll let me search that ship, Albus, just wait, I'm sure there will be a discovery!"

Professor Moody shouted angrily.

"I understand your determination to clear up the slander for Hogwarts, Professor Moody,"

Amosta walked to a sofa and sat down. He breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Moody meaningfully and said,

"But Karkaroff is the headmaster of Durmstrang, not a little wizard like Draco Malfoy. Without concrete evidence, it is inappropriate to use unconventional methods against him——"

Moody sneered, seemingly dismissive of Amosta's argument.

"I will keep an eye on him for you!"

Dumbledore and Amosta must make a summary of what happened tonight. Since Albus did not invite him, it means that he does not want to see him staying here, and it is even less likely that Brian will be willing to be honest with him. After saying something angrily, Professor Moody banged his cane on the ground and left the room.

Amosta kept staring at the door that Moody closed after leaving without speaking, and Dumbledore also behaved the same way. He remained silent and looked at the fireplace where Barty Crouch left, letting the fire move. The flames turned his blue pupils into gold.

The two people were silent like sculptures until footsteps sounded again outside the door.It was Severus Snape. He opened the door and looked inside. He found that Dumbledore and Amosta were still here before stepping in.

"I sent Bagman to his place of residence."

Snape stood at the door and said to the two of them.

"Ah, thank you--"

Dumbledore smiled and nodded at Snape.
"I really should thank Ludo for his support tonight. I don't know if you noticed, Amosta, he was the only person tonight who didn't blame us for our mistakes-"

"This guy is a compulsive gambler and doesn't know where to measure—"

Amosta knew what Dumbledore meant, and he said casually,
"Of course he is happy to see accidents happen, because it means he can make a fuss about it so that he can make some gold in those illegal betting markets--"

Dumbledore nodded thoughtfully and became quiet again, while Snape looked at Dumbledore with sarcasm in his eyes.He was also silent for a few seconds, and then he said lazily,

"I have a question, Dumbledore. I wonder if your age line can prevent wizards who drink Polyjuice Potion?"

Amosta's wandering eyes suddenly tightened. He stared at Professor Snape's careless face. At the same time, he noticed that Dumbledore also expressed concern for Snape.
"Polyjuice Potion. Why are you bringing this up, Severus? Do you have any clues about what happened tonight?"

"You seem to have a lot of trust in that Granger from Minerva College—"

Snape said softly,
"But I found out that someone sneaked into my office last night and got something from my personal storage room. Powder from the horn of a bicorn, fragments of skin from an African tree snake. The person who didn't accept my invitation. He's not greedy, he doesn't get much, but since I lost these things last time, I'm more interested in comparing their stocks."

"You think Miss Granger used Polyjuice Potion again, Severus?"

Dumbledore said quietly.

The confusion in Amosta's heart was also solved. Like Dumbledore, he thought Professor Snape had discovered the clue somewhere. Indeed, the night he returned to Hogwarts for the first time since graduation, I did see Hermione appear in the school hospital. At that time, she was suffering from drinking the wrong Polyjuice Potion.

"If you make up your mind that Granger is innocent, Dumbledore—"

Professor Snape said,
"I can turn a blind eye like last time."

Amosta laughed at the sarcasm in Snape's tone.
"Then just turn a blind eye, Professor Snape. I would like to give you a suggestion by the way. You'd better put those materials in an easy-to-access location to prevent thieves from blowing up your office to get the things-"

Dumbledore twitched the corner of his mouth and did not say anything, but their attitudes undoubtedly revealed something. Snape's eyes suddenly condensed. He did not look at Dumbledore because he knew that from Dumbledore Nothing can come out of the mouth.Snape stared at Amosta sharply and asked softly,
"You know who did it. You knew this would happen, right? Amosta, tell me, who is harming that self-righteous and stupid girl?"

"Do you want to test my Occlumency skills with me, Professor?"

Amosta smiled calmly,

"Please forgive me for being immodest. In this regard, I have learned as much as you can, and maybe even surpassed it——"

It was really tiring to deal with two scheming guys, especially the smiling Amosta, which really annoyed him, so Snape left angrily.

"Tell me what you think, Headmaster Dumbledore--"

Amosta, who watched with amusement as Professor Snape was pissed off, finally stopped smiling.Amosta, who barely slept last night and didn't give himself any chance to be lazy today, felt a little tired and said straight to the point.
