Homecoming from Hogwarts

The pungent smell of blood was mixed with a vague smell of putrid smell. Even without opening Batty's sleeves, Amosta could guess that the burns on Batty's arms caused by the Hungarian tree peaks What state is the mark probably in? He looked at Barty with the concern in his eyes like an old friend.

"I'm not going to St. Mungo's, Amosta—"

Barty looked really weak, and even speaking was a difficult task for him, but he still maintained a cold tone that was repelling people thousands of miles away.

"Those therapists at St. Mungo's will only exaggerate. If I lived in it, it would be trouble for me. You understand, right?"

Amosta pursed his lips and fell into silence briefly.

For a political figure who may become Minister of Magic, his physical condition is crucial. If there are rumors that Barty has a serious health problem, it will most likely affect his supporters' support for him. confidence.

"I prepared some medicine for myself, which is enough to deal with the trouble that beast caused me. Of course, as you can see, Amosta, I need to rest-"

Barty glanced sideways at Amosta, with slight dissatisfaction in his tone, as if he was blaming Amosta for insisting on coming to disturb his peaceful rest.

"But no matter what, Barty——"

Amosta looked at him worriedly.

"You need someone to take care of your life. Look at the mess in this house. There's not a single piece of firewood in the fireplace, the water in the teapot is ice cold, and the kitchen is filled with Muggle junk food. I guess you There must be a lot of dirty clothes in the laundry room. This kind of living environment will not help you recover quickly. To be honest, you should at least find someone to take care of your life. Oh--"

Amosta suddenly raised his brows, as if he had remembered something, and his appearance made Barty, who was sitting opposite him, flash an imperceptible vigilance in his eyes.

"I just remembered something -"

Amosta said thoughtfully,

"The house elf you expelled is currently working in the kitchen at Hogwarts."

Even Barty was caught off guard by Amosta's words, and he subconsciously asked,

"You mean Twinkle?"

"It's just Twinkle, Barty——" Amosta narrowed his eyes.

"After you left, this elf lived a wandering life. Then by chance, it entered the kitchen of Hogwarts. Oh, but to be honest, it was not happy there. It I still miss the days of serving the Crouch family very much, and I miss working for you very much. To be honest, would you consider re-accepting it to serve you? I believe that before that happened, it should have taken care of your life. Very good—"

"It's surprising, Amosta--"

Amosta's proposal indeed moved Barty, but he did not agree to Amosta's suggestion. Instead, he looked at Amosta warily.

"It really surprises me that a wizard like you would care about the happiness of an elf who has been kicked out, Amosta. If it were Dumbledore, I wouldn't be so surprised!"

"It's a coincidence--"

With his mind spinning, Amosta smiled happily,

"There were some little wizards in Gryffindor who stayed up late at night and sneaked into the school kitchen for excitement. As a result, I caught them. There was an elf named Dobby. He used to serve the Malfoy family, but he was the same as Winky. , made a mistake and was kicked out of the house.

This elf named Dobby knows Harry Potter, oh. He was the one who sneaked into the kitchen with his friends, and Dobby and Winky are also friends. They joined Hogwarts together, so--"

Amosta shrugged.

"I accidentally learned about this while listening to Harry Potter and his friends confess their 'crimes'."

Let Twinkle come back--

It has to be said that Amosta Blaine did inadvertently make a tempting proposal to him. It should be unintentional. Amosta Blaine's expression did not seem to be lying. He should have accidentally known about Shining. Yes, how could a wizard like him deliberately pay attention to a humble house elf? Bring back Twinkle. Twinkle was probably the only thing in the house that didn't make him sick.

"Okay, Amosta, let's do this--"

After hesitating for a long time, Barty said in a low voice, "It is really difficult for me to deal with the current situation alone. If Shining is really still loyal to the Crouch family and deeply realizes its own mistakes, I can give it An opportunity. Of course!"

Barty stared at Amosta with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to penetrate Amosta's heart.

"I accept your proposal, Amosta. At the same time, I also hope that you can keep this matter secret. Understand, if it is known that I have readmitted Shining, with your wisdom, you will definitely understand that this is a big deal for me. What a harm!"

"We're friends, Barty--"

Amosta smiled sincerely, "We have worked together and promoted the Triwizard Tournament together. I will not do anything detrimental to you. Oh, your elf will definitely cheer for this, but you You have to wait for two days, Barty, only Dumbledore has the right to release the elves, and he has been out for the past two days."

Amosta seemed to be genuinely happy that Barty could accept his proposal, but his heart suddenly sank. His suspicion when he saw Barty for the first time had been confirmed.

At this time, the water in the teapot on the mantelpiece made a gurgling sound. Amosta walked over, took down the kettle, and after rummaging around on the shelf above the fireplace, Amosta I only found a few black tea bags in a jar.

"With the care of the elf, I believe you will recover soon. Barty Percy will definitely be happy about this. In order to prevent the International Magic Cooperation Department from becoming a mess after you leave, he has taken on a lot of responsibility these days. pressure--"

After smacking his lips in dissatisfaction, Amosta dropped the tea bags into two cups respectively, and then brought them to Barty.

"Percy?"

Old Batty looked a little shocked and paused for a few seconds before reacting.

"You mean Weatherby. Oh, this young man is very passionate -" Barty said with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, "very passionate, but he still lacks experience in dealing with many problems!"

Amosta smiled. He straightened up and looked around.

"Can I use your bathroom, Buddy?"

"Oh, follow the corridor, turn left and the second door is -"

Looking at the back of Amosta who strolled over and disappeared around the corner, Barty's cheeks twitched covertly, and there was a trace of imperceptible madness in the depths of his eyes.

Click——

After the bathroom door closed, Amosta's brisk smile disappeared. His face was solemn, and his penetrating eyes wandered in all directions of the room. He 'saw' Bati sitting on the sofa holding a teacup. , waiting for myself quietly.

Amosta withdrew his gaze towards the living room, looked at his feet, and stared deeply with squinted eyes. After a moment, his body suddenly became erratic, turning around and turning into a shadow, which silently penetrated under the ground.

The anti-intrusion magic, looking glass and other props arranged in the underground secret room immediately responded to the intruder, but before these magical actions, Amosta, who had reappeared, had a sharp look in his eyes, and he waved his wand fiercely. It immediately froze all the magic flow in this secret room and paralyzed all anti-intrusion facilities in the room.

This is Batty’s treasure room. The room is as big as a classroom and has more than a dozen bookshelf-style shelves neatly displayed. Each shelf is filled with priceless treasures. Amosta even saw a nanmu The base holds a golden gem the size of a baby's head.

Most of the shelves are filled with antiques from various magical civilizations with a long history and high research value. On one wall of the secret room, there are many cold weapons hanging with a cold light and elegant and beautiful shapes. At first glance, it looks like it came from the hands of a fairy who is good at making it.

Amosta only paused for two seconds in front of a silver shield, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. If he remembered correctly, this thing flowed out of his hand. After that, he ignored the whole room and it was enough to make everyone Some of the crazy collections quickly came to a dusty wooden box on the ground leaning against the wall. After squinting for a brief moment, Amosta raised his hand and slowly touched the box. Lock
