Hogwarts Homecoming

Neville became dizzy again, and he didn't quite understand what Professor Blaine wanted to express. However, he looked at the sword in his hand. It was indeed a very beautiful sword, with a bright silver blade that was full of elegance. The mysterious flowing light seemed to contain extraordinary power. The shoulder of the sword was covered with delicate and mysterious magic inscriptions, which seemed to be in the style of a fairy.

Neville raised his sword and slashed it in the air a few times. After the sword fell, a half-moon-shaped thin silver glow still remained in the air. After thinking about it, Neville raised the sword.

"Expelliarmus. Oh, get out of the way!"

After a low shout, a red halo suddenly appeared on the silver sword. Then, the halo quickly approached the tip of the sword, and the stream of light hit Amosta directly opposite like a meteor.

Neither of them expected that their first attempt would be successful. Neville immediately looked horrified and screamed.

Amosta's eyebrows were raised. When he didn't have time to say anything, he quickly shook his fingers hanging by his side for a moment. Before the red stream of light hit him, a magic barrier as clear as a clear spring erected in front of him, and there was another danger. Narrowly blocked Neville's disarming spell!

boom!

After the low roar, the stream of light splashed into red stars that filled the sky, which was beautiful. The strong wind caused by the broken curse forced Neville to stagger back several steps. Even in front of Amosta, The magic barrier also caused fierce ripples.

After finally regaining his balance, Neville was about to apologize, but before the words came out of his mouth, Neville's face suddenly turned pale, his feet softened, and he knelt on the ground and began to pant slightly.

"Very good power."

As his fingertips brushed over the cracks in the magic barrier, Amosta sighed in admiration. Then, he saw Neville losing his strength.

"Mythril weapons can make magic flow more smoothly. It requires very high magic control to be used proficiently. You also need to practice more. Well, before you have the ability to use it, you really need a wand that suits you. , otherwise you won’t be able to practice in class.”

After dispersing the barrier, Amosta came to Neville and helped him up. Neville, who was about to apologize, was now focused on the silver sword that had regained its composure, with a look of fondness on his face.

"It seems you are satisfied with it?" Amosta smiled.

"Oh, of course, this sword is so cool!" Neville said cheerfully. "Does it have a name, Professor?"

"That's a good question—"

Amosta was also looking at the sword, looking at the gently trembling sword body. It seemed that he could feel that the sword was also excited about meeting a qualified user, and he was It has never behaved like this when I have it in my hands.

This is completely different treatment and discrimination!

Amosta curled his lips secretly,

"I didn't give it a name, but you can call it the Sword of Gryffindor if you want."

Neville was stunned for a moment as his eyes lingered on the blade of the sword. He opened his mouth slightly and looked at Professor Brain in confusion. After a moment, Neville thought he understood and became energetic.

"I will work hard, Professor Brain, to become as great a wizard as Gryffindor!"

Amosta pursed his lips and said nothing more.

When the Longbottom family re-entered the house, they all showed surprise when they saw Neville holding a sword with an obvious elf style in his hand, but they were smart enough not to ask questions. Amosta obviously didn't want to explain more. Otherwise, he would not let them leave the ward.

"Headmaster Dumbledore has returned to Hogwarts first?"

After calling Sirius and others in, Amosta asked. When he received a positive reply, he nodded,

"I shouldn't delay any longer. I need to return to Hogwarts immediately. There are many things to do, so"

Amosta looked at Hermione,

"Oh, I thought you would be eager to go back to school with Dumbledore, Hermione."

Hermione's lips suddenly tightened, and there was sadness in her evasive eyes.

Now that Neville's parents have returned to normal, she originally planned to return to Hogwarts with Principal Dumbledore. However, her ward was occupied by an unknowing professor, and her luggage They are all displayed in the ward!

Hermione glanced sideways at her hospital bed, biting her teeth secretly. Then, her eyes passed over the bedside table, and questions came to her mind.

Where's my toothbrush cup? !

"Hermione?"

Amosta said,

"If you have other things to deal with, you can go back to Hogwarts with Neville, but if there is nothing else, I suggest you go with me and return to school as soon as possible. After all, you may not be able to relax now. .”

"Oh, okay." Hermione hesitated a few times and took a deep breath. "I'll go back with you, Professor Blaine, but I have to pack my things first."

"Of course there is no problem."

Seeming to finally realize that the place he was currently staying in was Hermione's ward, Amosta nodded and said, "I'll wait for you outside, and we'll disapparate back to Hogwarts."

"I also have something to tell you, Amosta—"

Since Dumbledore and Brian were unwilling to share their secret method for curing the mental damage caused by the Cruciatus Curse, the therapists at St. Mungo's had to pay attention to Frank and Alice. Under the guise of monitoring their physical condition, they Many checks were arranged for the two people, almost every two hours.

Neville and Mrs. Longbottom accompanied Frank and Alice. Surrounded by a group of doctors and nurses, they were taken to the inspection room where special alchemical instruments were installed. Tonks was also sent away by Sirius with excuses. Two people stood at the end of the corridor.

"What happened?" Amosta asked calmly.

"There's a rumor from the ministry -"

Sirius looked solemn and lowered his voice,

"You know, Barty Crouch has been implementing high-pressure control in the department and is not very popular. But since he took sick leave, the efficiency of the department has become even worse. The cooperation between departments is a mess. Many employees have issues with senior management."

Amosta nodded slightly, looking more focused.

"--But you know, Fudge is not interested in any of these things. He is busy having relationships with pure-blood families and celebrities all day long to gain benefits for his family. He left all these things to Umbridge, But that woman only has power in her eyes. Except for the execution department, she can’t do anything about it. She places idiots everywhere in other departments. So, some people can’t stand it.”

"Who?" Amosta asked sensitively.

"He's a little guy from the Department of Transportation. He just graduated a few years ago, but that's not the key."

Sirius waved his hand,

"That young guy probably couldn't understand the atmosphere in the ministry, so he secretly went to Old Batty's house to check out the situation. As a result, he found that people were there. The building was empty and the house was dusty. It seemed that no one had lived there for a while. .

At present, not many people know about this matter. The Ministry is suppressing the news, saying that he may have gone abroad to recuperate. But you know that this will not be deceived for long, and it will not be long before the whole world knows about it. By then, the Ministry will There will definitely be an investigation. You know what I mean? "

Sirius looked at Amosta with sharp eyes,

"Maybe you have good reason not to tell me the secrets you know about Crouch, but be careful, Amosta. The higher ups in the Ministry, you know I'm talking about those people, have no interest in you or Dumbledore." The opinions are getting louder and louder, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that they may not be able to catch Dumbledore, but you people have heard from Percy that you are the last person to visit Barty Crouch."

Maybe it's because the return date is approaching, so you don't want to spend so much time hiding the flaws?

Thoughts flashed through Amosta's mind, but his expression remained calm.

"If someone is going to frame this matter on me, that's really stupid."

When the conversation changed, Amosta's eyes were dark, "You, and Remus, also need to pay attention to safety in the near future."

Sirius' face turned gloomy at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. He knew exactly what Amosta was implying.

"What about Harry?"

"You might be a little scared."

Looking at Sirius' gloomy dripping face and twitching eyes, Amosta looked much gentler.

"But my life will not be in danger, I can guarantee that."
