Chapter 938: Final Meeting
Amelia is eager to see Professor Dumbledore. Harry and the others do have the ability to take her directly into Hogwarts, but unless they are crazy, they will never doubt their identity after meeting only once. Strangers with unknown intentions used a secret passage to get into the school.
But because Amelia claimed that she was very familiar with Professor Blaine and Remus, and because she was following Remus' instructions during her trip, they finally decided to help her.
The three of them escorted Amelia down the mountain. Then, Harry and Hermione watched over her, while Ron used the secret passage in Honeydukes candy store to report to Hogwarts.
Dusk is approaching and the temperature is gradually dropping.
The mountains are bathed in the red afterglow, and wisps of clouds and smoke are floating in the mountains, making the green mountains appear faintly; the dark green forbidden forest sways in the wind in the sunset, making waves of waves; the surface of the Black Lake is like countless broken pieces. Split silver mirror, the scattered light is still dazzling.
From the fields to outside the village entrance, the Hogsmeade villagers who finished their work and rushed to their homes dragging their tired bodies formed a long queue. Amelia, who used the Disguise Charm to disguise herself, followed these villagers with her eyes until she touched the distance. The black castle in front of me suddenly made my heart throb.
Compared with the prosperous New York, this place is undoubtedly very primitive and backward, but this primitive picture has an extraordinary power that touches her heart.
But suddenly, a sense of sadness emerged in my heart.
If her parents had not left London that year, then there is no doubt that she was also a student at Hogwarts. If those sad past events had not happened, she might not have had the chance to be born into this world. .
Although he couldn't see it, his keen intuition allowed Harry to feel the sadness of Amelia next to him. He glanced over and thought for a moment,
"Well, why didn't Remus come back by himself, but asked you to send him a message? You don't use owls over there?"
"Owl? Oh——"
Amelia, who was immersed in her thoughts, suddenly came to her senses.
"Of course we will also use owls to send letters. But Remus thinks that using owls is too slow, so he entrusted me to make a trip. As for why he didn't come back, you know-"
"It was a full moon yesterday, Harry."
Hermione also quickly glanced at Amelia's position, took a breath and said to Harry,
"I guess Remus must be weak now, so he gave in"
"Amelia Det."
Amelia said,
"You can call me Amelia."
"Hermione Granger—"
Hermione also quickly announced her name. She hesitated for a moment, looking a little uneasy.
"Professor Brain is in trouble, isn't he?"
Harry was startled and subconsciously looked at Hermione, ready to ask back, but Amelia asked first in a creepy voice,
"Why, why do you ask this, Miss Granger?"
After hesitating for a long time, Hermione said,
"Normally, if Remus encounters any trouble, he will go to Professor Brain for help. They go out together, don't they? Unless, Professor Brain encounters something."
This is a very simple speculation, but there is not much that can really be thought of. When Amelia was studying in Ilvermorny, she was often praised for her intelligence, and because of this, she knew that this Hermione... How extraordinary Granger is.
However, she did not answer Hermione's question and just remained silent. However, this was enough for Hermione to confirm her guess.
Harry and Hermione did not wait for Ron, but instead waited for Professor McGonagall.
She flashed out of a ball of fire, with Fawkes crouched on her shoulders, startling the nearby villagers, including Harry.
Professor McGonagall pursed her lips tightly, and her eyes fell on Harry and Hermione with blame and disappointment.
Harry and Hermione immediately straightened their bodies and looked dull. They knew very well what Professor McGonagall was unhappy about.
"You should be grateful for your luck, Mr. Potter, Miss Granger—"
Professor McGonagall said seriously,
"I'm glad I didn't bump into a dark wizard. I hope this is the last time, otherwise, this will be the last time you come to Hogsmeade this semester."
Harry and Hermione nodded eagerly.
"Well, where's the lady?"
Professor McGonagall adjusted the frame of the glasses that was placed on the bridge of her thin nose, and glanced around with sharp eyes.
"Oh, I'm right here, Professor."
Amelia's voice was waxy, and this stern professor made her unconsciously assume the identity of a student.
Professor McGonagall glanced at the empty space between Harry and Hermione in surprise.
"A very good disembodiment spell. You can continue to use this state and go to Albus's office to lift it, then--"
Professor McGonagall held out the back of her hand.
Harry and Hermione looked at each other and immediately put their hands up. After looking at Fox's ruby eyes, Amelia also put her hands up. Then, a brilliant fire exploded and several people disappeared. In the sight of the surrounding villagers.
Even if she closed her eyes, the splendor that she couldn't resist flashed across Amelia's eyes. Her vision suddenly dimmed, and Amelia found herself in a spacious circular office.
There are many interesting and noteworthy things in this office, but none of them is as eye-catching as the old wizard with silver hair and beard standing up behind the thin-legged desk twenty feet away with a smile that makes people feel like spring breeze.
Albus Dumbledore--known as the greatest wizard of the contemporary era, a true legend.
Amelia's mind was shaken, and she couldn't even control her excitement.
All the magic books introducing modern wizards, no matter which one, will record this great wizard and his outstanding achievements.
"Please don't worry, ma'am--"
Although Amelia was still wearing the Disillusionment Charm, the strategic eyes behind Dumbledore's half-moon glasses still focused accurately on Amelia's face. He said humorously,
"I can assure you that you will not be attacked in my office."
"Oh, sorry, Mr. Dumbledore, I-I forgot--"
Amelia panted and said, she quickly removed the Disillusionment Charm.
"Please take a seat--"
Dumbledore waved his wand, and several chairs swirled out of thin air. Harry was pleasantly surprised to find that Dumbledore had prepared chairs for them, which meant that Professor Dumbledore had no intention of letting them leave.
"Mr. Weasley told me--"
Dumbledore nodded to Ron, which made Ron, who had just sat down, panic. Fortunately, he immediately looked away, and his clear blue eyes fell on Amelia's face, smiling and said,
"Remus has a message for you to convey. Oh, of course, I think you must have experienced a tiring journey. If you are not so anxious, we can have a dinner together in the office."
"Oh, no, Mr. Dumbledore--"
Even though Dumbledore had a kind face, Amelia was still under great pressure.
"It's urgent, Mr. Dumbledore"
After a few quick breaths, Amelia calmed down,
"Amostar. I mean, Professor Braine of your school has been imprisoned by the Security Department of the American Magic Congress!"
There was a silence, and even a group of former principals on the wall of the office stopped pointing fingers at Amelia. Everyone was trying to digest the news brought by this witch from the American magic world.
Finally, it came to a certain moment--
Clang!
Hermione stood up suddenly, her face pale, and her violent movements overturned the chair under her. Seeing this, Harry and Ron also stood up hurriedly, their faces were as ugly as Hermione's.
Dumbledore did not speak, but his clear eyes became deep, and Professor McGonagall stood up behind her three students, her thin body shaking slightly,
"Are you saying that Amos Tower was imprisoned by the Magical Congress of the United States?"
Professor McGonagall stared, her face full of surprise and disbelief,
"Why?"
"Because the Magical Congress suspected--"
Amelia exhaled heavily and said indignantly,
"A murder that just happened inside the Magical Congress was committed by Amos Tower!"
