Homecoming from Hogwarts

Chapter 634
"Just some advice, Amelia--"

Amosta turned around and walked towards Hagrid's hut, where Sirius was currently recuperating. There was no major accident when he was turned into a fire dragon during the day. However, he was struck by Hermione's eye spell. Solid.Madam Pomfrey obviously didn't have time to take care of him, and he felt embarrassed himself, so he hid with Hagrid.

"Once it becomes known to the public that Voldemort (Amelia shuddered hard) has become active again, with Fudge's skills, it will be difficult for him to calm public opinion and people's panic.

By then, even if no one is there to deal with him, the raging public opinion will force him to stop doing it.There will definitely be a power struggle, and pure-blood families and wealthy families in all walks of life will look for new political spokesmen. There will be chaos, but it must be calmed down as soon as possible, otherwise Voldemort will find an opportunity to take advantage of this matter. Making a fuss, with the Ministry of Magic as a tool, it will be much easier for him to do things--"

Amelia felt a sense of desolation in her heart.The Ministry of Magic, which manages tens of thousands of residents of the magical world, is nothing more than a tool in front of the mysterious man.

"Where's old Barty?"

Amelia looked at Amosta's side face. She didn't understand why in Amosta's eyes, Barty Crouch never seemed to be someone worthy of attention.

It is true that this colleague who has worked with him for most of his life has some stains, but after more than ten years of hard work, the results of his hard work have been recognized by many people, and the successful holding of the Triwizard Tournament has added another dimension to him. A high-value political achievement.

Amelia can predict that for half a month after tomorrow, the Triwizard Tournament will be a hot topic in the European magic world. In addition to the warriors, all the celebrities planning this large-scale event will be talked about.

"--Barty has always been jealous of the evil forces, and the incident that year almost ruined everything for him. If the mysterious man creates chaos in the magic world again and Connelly steps down, Barty will Tee will probably try his best to get the minister's position--"

"And then fight to the death with Voldemort?"

Amosta smiled and said,
"So, I would rather see Fudge stay in his seat than see Barty come on stage. Your resume is more perfect than Barty's. Amelia, as long as you are prepared, you will not lose to Barty -"

Amosta saw through Amelia's worries and comforted her.

"You know that learning machine I gave to the Ministry of Magic?"

Amosta's topic jumped unexpectedly, and Amelia was stunned for a few seconds before her thoughts jumped back.

"You mean I know that it is a very interesting alchemy tool. It is now placed in my department. We allow everyone to use it, but most people only regard it as a toy. Rufus ordered it to be used. The Aurors below must be used for a certain period of time every month--"

"This is not enough-"

This situation did not exceed Amosta's expectations. The work of the Ministry of Magic itself is very cumbersome. Most employees are burdened with paperwork and have no extra energy to improve themselves. Many adult wizards are not as strong as them. When I just graduated from school.

"The Ministry of Magic needs to increase its strength. You cannot let an employee of the Ministry of Magic who can't cast a disarming spell easily fight against those Death Eaters with extraordinary strength and cruel methods. Expand the recruitment of strikers and improve the strength of the original employees, Ami Leah, these things can be done now.”

Amosta discovered Amelia's embarrassment. He also knew the difficulty of these two things. After thinking about it,
"--The expansion of strikers can be slowed down to improve the strength of the employees of the Ministry of Magic. You can try giving bonuses to employees. Employees who use the learning machine for a certain period of time every month and make progress after the assessment can receive additional bonuses. I believe many people will be interested in the bonus.”

"That's not a bad idea—"

Amelia said thoughtfully,

"As far as I know, there are some people in the ministry who live a very poor life. If this can be used as an incentive, I believe it will have a good effect."

Amosta was going to Hagrid's hut to check on Sirius, and Harry and the other three were currently there. In this situation, it was not appropriate for Amelia to follow him.After a few words, Amelia understood that Amosta wanted to be alone, and she also needed to talk to Dumbledore. For such a major matter, she had to get a clear explanation from Dumbledore. .

The cold wind of late November was biting into the knife, and Amosta forgot to glance at the mountains in the distance. The thick clouds above the snow-capped mountains were slowly moving here, and an aura of decay of all things was waiting for an opportunity in the dark. move.

Suddenly, a ray of blue light flashed in the abyss-like Forbidden Forest. Amosta, who was walking towards Hagrid's hut, stopped and looked at the ray of blue light.
"Professor Moody, is that you?"

Although he was asking, Amosta's tone was firm.

"Everyone in the castle is singing and dancing for the tournament, including you and Dumbledore, but someone has to be vigilant, right, Amosta!"

Moody said gruffly as he hobbled out on crutches.

"We are all very lucky to have someone who can always remain sober and rational in Hogwarts. This will make us feel much safer -"

Amosta smiled calmly, and his eyes wandered for a moment when he noticed the wet mud on Professor Moody's boots.It seems that Professor Moody is not just wandering around the edge of the Forbidden Forest, he looks deep enough.

"I know very well that as long as you and Dumbledore are here, no one dares to make trouble in the castle, so I will use my kung fu on the outside -" Moody came to Amosta, and he smiled happily.

"Then you have to pay attention to your safety, Professor Moody. I heard from Hagrid today that the centaurs in the Forbidden Forest have lost their temper recently for some unknown reason and are refusing all magical creatures to enter their territory. Well, although they have been like this in the past. Rules, you'd better avoid them—"

Amosta just reminded him casually, but the strange thing is that after listening to his words, Moody looked indifferent, but the emotional fluctuations he tried to hide were in Amosta Bray, whose mental strength was close to reaching its peak. It's still a bit too conspicuous in front of En.

"I'll keep an eye out—" Moody said, "provided they don't attack me!"

Could it be said that the movement of the centaurs has something to do with her?
Amosta smiled calmly, but remembered the incident in his mind.

"I'm going to sit with Hagrid. So, do you want to go have a cup of tea together? I guess the temperature in the Forbidden Forest may not be very comfortable at this time-"

"I won't add to the chaos, Amosta, there are too many people in that room right now-"

Moody turned his head and pointed his blue magic eyes at the cabin for a few times. Then he turned his head and hummed a few times,

"I'd better get myself some scraps before the party is over."

The two people parted ways, one heading towards Hagrid's hut and the other towards the castle.However, before the distance between them exceeded ten meters, Moody suddenly turned around unexpectedly. He looked at Amosta's back, hesitation flashing in his eyes.

"What's wrong, Professor Moody, do you need help with anything?"

Amosta, who was aware of it, also turned around and asked politely.

"Oh, it's nothing actually-" Moody said in a hoarse voice, "I was just thinking that it's amazing, Amosta, I mean, that little prop you used to show people the Warriors performance today, I heard that thing Is it called a surveillance camera?"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

Amosta raised his eyebrows.

"--That's a very useful alchemy tool. I mean, it's much more useful in preventing crimes and being vigilant about sneak attacks than my looking glass and black magic detectors. Have you considered it, Amosta? I mean, use it in a serious way—"

"Indeed there have been--"

Amosta nodded and smiled.

"You should know that the first time I returned to this school after graduation was to investigate the secret room incident that was causing a lot of fuss at the time, and when Sirius escaped from prison, I also used it, but it violated the students' privacy. , if I plan to do something with it, I have to apply to the Ministry of Magic in advance——"

"Oh, really--"

Moody said thoughtfully, and he immediately realized that he should not be silent.
"What a pity. If I were still at the Ministry of Magic, there would never be so much red tape. I would make the Minister of Magic realize the true value of this invention and vigorously promote it."

"Yes, I often feel sorry that this invention is not taken seriously--"

Under the boundless night, the two people smiled at each other, then twisted around and started to move away again.
