Hogwarts Homecoming

As if overnight, London has gone from the cold and wet winter to the warmth of spring.

The comfortable spring breeze ruffled the Thames River reflecting the blue sky. On the other side of the river, the cheerful laughter of a group of foreign tourists visiting London woke up Louise, who was sitting on the balcony in a daze. She stared at the group of tourists and watched them off. Their backs gradually moved away until they became blurry black shadows in the field of vision.

Several pots of ornamental flowers on the balcony have sprouted new buds, swaying in the warm wind full of life.

But Louise just glanced at them and then moved her eyes away with waning interest. She looked at the glass door that separated the bedroom and the balcony, and looked at the slightly gloomy face in the reflection.

No one else needs to tell her, Louise also knows that the hot topic caused by that evil organization will continue in the wizarding world for a while, and Amosta Brain's reputation will once again climb a ladder at this time, to a certain extent. , the magical world is not much different from her world.

But for her, it was all over.

Since returning to London, Amosta had placed her in the Auror safe house where they had originally placed her, and now she knew what an Auror did.

Although she had only been involved in the investigation of Fraser's death for about ten days, as a reporter, Louise knew that the information was crucial. In these ten days, she had already had a preliminary understanding of the magical world in her mind. Outline.

Click——

Louise turned the knob and walked into the bedroom.

“What a luxury”

Looking at the classical and luxurious decoration in the room, Louise cooed.

This villa is located in the viewing area of ​​the Thames River. The cost to buy it is probably an eye-popping figure. However, the wizards actually bought it as a temporary base for the Aurors, which made Louise have to Lament the wealth possessed by wizards.

"How did they solve the identity problem?" Louise thought, but then she shook her head and pushed the question out of her mind.

"Magic can take care of everything anyway."

puff--

Louise lay down on the soft four-poster bed, covering her eyes with her arms.

The running around in the past ten days seemed to have exhausted Louise's energy. Even though she slept in in the morning, she still felt very tired. Every cell in her body seemed to be protesting and needed more. Rest, but no matter how hard Louise tried, she couldn't fall asleep, and Amosta's voice kept lingering in her mind.

"Pointless."

This was what Amosta said to Louise before she set off when she faced her strong request to accompany her. Now, she also understood why Amosta said this to her.

“It’s so unfair”

With her arms tightly pressed against her heated eyes, Louise's faint voice echoed in the room.

boom!

A crisp ringing sound appeared in the quiet villa, and Louise, who had been lying on the bed motionless for more than an hour, seemed to have jumped out of bed immediately after hearing the sound. The experiences in the past few days made her It was already clear what this sound represented.

Du, du, du—

Sure enough, footsteps came from outside the door. The footsteps became clear and finally stopped outside her door. Then, there was a knock on the door.

After hearing the knock on the door, Louise's heartbeat accelerated rapidly. She clenched her sleeves tightly, showing a little fear uncontrollably.

"Can I come in, Louise?"

Outside the door, Amosta's gentle voice sounded.

After a long silence, Louise expressed her agreement with a slightly hoarse voice.

Louise stood at the head of the bed, clenching her hands tightly, looking at herself with red eyes filled with resistance or, in other words, fear.

"Are you done with your work?"

Before Amosta could speak, Louise spoke first. She asked, with an indescribable uneasiness and nervousness in her expression.

"Oh, there's no—"

Amosta walked into the room with a smile and said in a gentle voice,

"Actually, there are quite a lot of troubles left. Many people are making suggestions to me, hoping that I will preside over the trial of those dark wizards, but I don't have that much time and energy to do this.

News from St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies that my student has recovered, but I still have to go see her. Also, remember that I asked Kingsley to send Onistor Pass back to London. Torre, he is also in the hospital. If possible, I hope I can find a way to make him normal. The school is organizing a large-scale magic competition. The second competition date is approaching, and there is a lot of time to wait. Let me deal with it, well, my teaching progress is also a bit behind."

Amosta sighed slightly and shook his head helplessly.

Listening to Amosta's endless complaints, Louise pursed her lips, and the fear in her heart faded slightly, but she still said nothing.

Looking at the girl who had become restrained, Amosta felt a little heavy in his heart. He wanted to say something to comfort her, but he swallowed the words before he reached his lips.

Like he said. No sense.

"The experience was like a dream."

The silence lasted for a long time. Suddenly, Louise smiled and said softly,

"Now it's time to wake up."

Louise raised her bright eyes, her eyelashes flickering,

"Deleting memory. Will it hurt?"

"Won't."

Amosta smiled,

"It's just that there is a chance that people will become dementia. Ah, of course, you know that my magic skills are superb, so I should be able to eliminate such risks. Even if something unfortunate happens, it doesn't matter. I have a lot of money, and I can afford the compensation."

Looking at the girl who was amused and giggling, Amosta's expression became gentler, until Louise regained her composure, courage filled her bright eyes, and Amosta continued in a soft voice,

"Kingsley will be responsible for the next thing. He will return Fraser to you, using common sense methods and excuses. You and your family will also receive a sum of money. This is the result of being a Muggle who has been affected by wizards. Compensation for injury.”

Louise nodded lightly, and a hint of gloom appeared on her face again.

The bright scenery outside the window couldn't dispel the sadness that filled the room.

"I can."

There was a moment of silence, then Louise raised her head and looked into Amosta's eyes,

"Can I not forget you?"

Sensing the trace of apology shown by Amosta, Louise quickly explained,

"I mean the first time I saw you, at that subway station in the city center!"

Amosta didn't answer immediately until he saw the pleading in Louise's eyes and realized that Louise had misunderstood the reason for his silence. Amosta nodded.

"That's no problem, Louise. So...is there anything else you want to say?"

Louise became hesitant. It seemed that she did still have some knots in her heart.

"I will try my best to help you achieve it." Amosta said gently.

"you can."

Amosta's promise seemed to give Louise some courage and made her brave. She held her breath, and a hint of shyness crept up her fair and pretty cheeks, but she still looked into Amosta's eyes,

"Can you... close your eyes?"

Even Amosta's breath was suffocated at this moment. He stared at Louise, whose eyes were filled with cautious expectation, and watched the light gradually dim. Finally, before the light was completely extinguished, he nodded and closed his eyes. On the eyes.

Louise's heart suddenly rushed into her throat, and the rapid beating of her heart even made her feel faint.

She couldn't believe that Amosta actually agreed. At this moment, the bright sunshine finally shined into the dim bedroom.

Biting her lower lip, the girl's cheeks were as red as drops of blood. She stood on tiptoes and slowly approached. As her hot breath blended in the closer space between the two, Louise also closed her eyes.

Maybe it touches the lips, maybe it touches the tip of the nose.

A touch like a dragonfly touching water.

Louise opened her eyes and saw two purple moons blooming in front of her eyes, instantly engulfing her mind...
