Homecoming from Hogwarts

Chapter 733 New School Year

Amosta had planned to have Remus, Sirius and Harry leave the orphanage early the next morning and return to the wizarding world.

However, these people seemed to have reached an agreement and insisted on staying here for one more day. He thought that they still wanted to ask him something about Barty Crouch, but in fact, what did they do? They didn't ask any questions, and spent the extra day just trying their best to help the orphanage. Perhaps, they hoped to express their apology for coming here without permission in this way.

But they did not have dinner at the orphanage. Before leaving, Remus took the time to chat with him about the problems currently facing the alchemy workshop.

"--The United States also has a thriving magical civilization."

Amosta mused that after listening to Remus's account, he probably guessed what was going on. The Magical Congress of the United States of America has repeatedly questioned the safety of the products they sell. It's just that the person in charge of the relevant leading department has some ideas about the workshop's income.

In business, this is actually a very normal thing.

On the European side, when cooperating with Remus's promotion, the goblins intentionally or unintentionally related this alchemical item to him, and his reputation is still very useful in Europe, but on the other side of the Atlantic, in the United States, Not so afraid of him.

"We can't give up the vast market over there."

Amosta said slowly,

"Well, Remus, when you apply for entry to the Magical Congress of the United States of America, you can also submit an entry application for me. I think it is necessary for me to go and see it in person-"

Most of these ice castles, which were between Filius and Hagrid, were poorly shaped and had no aesthetic appeal. Amosta could tell at a glance that they were the work of little wizards.

The storm is coming and the darkness is about to return.

But what is strange is that when the newspapers mentioned the Ice Castle Shaper, they only mentioned his name and did not mention Dumbledore.

Listening to the conversation between Professor Blaine and Remus, Hermione twitched her lips secretly, looking a little dissatisfied.

Even during these days in the Muggle world, he had been reading the Daily Prophet.

The severe cold in winter comes quickly and violently, and then goes away as slowly as peeling off cocoons.

This year's Christmas vacation was the most days he spent in the orphanage since he graduated from Hogwarts. He didn't pack his bags until the children in the orphanage started school, and quietly, late at night, no one knew. Leave quietly.

The snow on the Hogwarts campus was basically as thick as when he left, but the snow layer was covered with messy footprints. The surface of the Black Lake is still covered with a layer of solid ice, but miniature ice and snow castles appear on the lakeside and near the bank.

On the one hand, Amosta wanted to take action personally because of the complex environment of the magical society there. On the other hand, this trip would inevitably involve dealing with the Magical Congress of the United States of America. As a werewolf, he would inevitably be looked down upon and wary of.

Remus nodded, his smile a bit bitter.

The Christmas holiday in the Muggle world is longer than that at Hogwarts. When Amosta returned to Hogwarts, school had already been in session for four days.

During the Triwizard Tournament, at the Yule Ball, he and Dumbledore built an eye-catching ice castle. This had spread throughout the British wizarding world, causing countless wizards who were not able to witness this scene to be upset.

Professor Brain plans to go to the United States, which means that he will have to take leave in the first half of the year and miss classes again.

First, turmoil, and then war, are bound to happen. Neither Amosta nor Dumbledore is sure that they can control the scale of the war. This war will inevitably affect the Muggle world. In the few remaining peaceful moments, Amosta hopes to spend more time with the children and staff here.

"No problem, Amosta, it's the best—"

This is not because Amosta secretly gave a lot of gold to Mr. Guffey, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet.

Perhaps, for more than half a century, people have become numb to Dumbledore's various achievements. People need freshness. The Daily Prophet saw through this and wrote so much about him.

After the Daily Prophet's exaggerated report, the wizards who thought they had seen through Amosta Brain were once again amazed by his superb magic skills.

During the Christmas vacation, in the book "Transfiguration Today" that Professor McGonagall sent him, almost half of the articles were written by well-known scholars in the wizarding world. They discussed from various angles how difficult it was to transform such a magnificent ice castle. and incredible things. Among the hot topics, his reputation in the magic world will rise to a higher level again, which is something Amosta is happy to see, because these reputations will increase his weight, that is, his right to speak in the magic world.

It was already midnight, and there was no one on the Hogwarts campus. Instead, behind the dim windows of Beauxbatons' carriage and Durmstrang's ghost ship, the figures of the night watchman occasionally flashed past.

"I will tell Professor Sprout about this, and he will decide what to do with you!"

When Amosta stepped onto the marble stairs outside the foyer, he heard Professor McGonagall's angry voice.

He quickly walked into the foyer and found Professor McGonagall, wearing a purple nightgown and holding a stack of information, scolding two second-year Hufflepuff wizards on the small platform on the second floor of the castle. Filch, with a gloating expression on his face, stood behind Professor McGonagall, stroking the beard of Mrs. Norris who was squatting on his shoulder from time to time.

"What's wrong, Professor McGonagall, what happened?"

Amosta asked knowingly as he walked up the steps in the foyer with a smile.

"Filch caught two little wizards wandering around at night. They were throwing big dung eggs at the paintings on the wall and the spiral staircase. Oh, it's too much. It's only the first week of school!"

Professor McGonagall said angrily, but after she said the words, she was stunned, and then quickly turned her head to look at Amosta who was going upstairs.

"Oh, Amosta, you're back!"

Professor McGonagall said in surprise, but before Amosta could respond, her expression suddenly changed, her eyes darkened, and her lips pursed tightly. She looked at Amosta,

"Oh, I thought you had resigned, Professor Blaine—"

Amosta smiled awkwardly. He was about to quibble, but then Professor McGonagall started to roar.

"In the first week of school, you didn't show up. You didn't write a letter to tell me or Albus why. You just asked an owl to come to Professor Blaine with a note asking for leave. How do you feel about your behavior?!"

Good guy--

The two little wizards of Hufflepuff peeked at Professor Blaine, who was a little embarrassed, and were deeply moved.

"I review--"

Amosta smiled apologetically,

"I can swear that this is the last time. I mean, before I take leave next time, I will definitely give you a clear reason—"

Perhaps because Amosta was busy traveling, Professor McGonagall did not block Amosta on the second floor to preach for half an hour. After sending away the two little Hufflepuff wizards, he explained some of Amosta's needs. Mosta was handling the papers and she got out of the way.

"Oh, Amosta, during dinner, Filius suggested that we go to Hogsmeade for a drink this weekend, just to celebrate the arrival of the new semester. He invited Pomona, Alastor and I, if you are free, can join in--"

"Ah, no problem -" Amosta stood between the stairs of the second and third floors, turned around and said briskly, "I'm very happy to participate -"

"By the way, Amosta—"

Just as Amosta was about to leave, Professor McGonagall suddenly remembered something and said again,

"I have heard feedback from many students that the skills they learned in your physical education class are very useful. If you plan to continue this class next school year, then I suggest you prepare the materials to submit to the school board as soon as possible. Reviewed by the Ministry of Magic--"
