Chapter 942: Opportunity to Atone

After some persuasion, Amelia finally convinced the hotel security that the animal following her was a gentle dog, not a black bear that escaped from the zoo. However, such a large dog still did not reassure the handsome waiter.

"If you insist on taking it upstairs, ma'am, I must follow you. This is responsible for your safety and the safety of other guests."

The handsome waiter said firmly.

Amelia glanced at Sirius with a 'complaining' look, but Sirius, who had just vowed to be foolproof outside the hotel, was not so confident now. He lowered his head and stared at the bright red goose down carpet a little embarrassedly.

"Okay--"

Amelia pursed her lips and had nothing to say about the reasonable request of the non-Maj waiter.

The elevator struggled to carry two people and an overweight dog to the upper floors. With a crisp prompt sound, the elevator hall door opened, and Sirius was eager to rush out immediately. This was regarded as a dangerous signal by the No-Maj waiter. He hurriedly dragged Sirius's tail and stumbled to the ground!

"Hi!"

Amelia immediately hurriedly stopped the slightly excited black dog, and then nodded to the No-Maj waiter with an apologetic face.

"Sorry. It, um. has been locked up for too long, it may be a little excited."

The good-tempered waiter did not mind. He stood up from the ground and adjusted his tilted hat.

"Oh, you don't have to apologize, ma'am. You just need to make sure your dog won't bite people. Please go this way."

As if knowing that he should not cause trouble to others, Sirius resisted the urge to run away and stayed honestly beside Amelia.

Late at night, in the empty corridor, only Amelia and the No-Maj waiter and the heavy tread of the black dog were heard. They were sent to Amosta's room, and suddenly--

Click!

A door that they had just passed by suddenly opened, and a wizard with upturned eyebrows flashed out from inside. In the gap between the door opening, Amelia found many familiar faces in the room.

"Amelia?"

Eriel stared in surprise,

"Why are you here?"

"The task assigned to me by Mr. Graves is not over yet, right?"

Amelia was not surprised to see her colleagues here, she said expressionlessly.

"Oh, that's true--"

Eriel frowned and looked suspiciously at the big dog with bared teeth beside Amelia.

"You're starting to keep a pet, Amelia. I think this dog shouldn't have any special bloodline, right?"

In front of the No-Maj, Eriel changed his words to a more moderate one. In fact, he wanted to confirm whether this big and scary dog ​​had the bloodline of any magical animal.

"After you rudely broke into my house, my parents thought that our family seemed to need a little extra security measures, so they asked me to buy it at the No-Maj pet market. I think this shouldn't be a crime, right?"

"Oh, of course not, um."

Eriel was a little embarrassed, and at the same time, a little surprised that Amelia's words became sharp. After hesitating for a while, he shrugged and retreated back to the room.

"They belong to the Security Department, they are Aurors--"

Amelia turned to Sirius and said something, and the No-Maj waiter who didn't understand what she said raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"After walking such a long way, I think you must not have had time to eat dinner."

The door opened, and Sirius rushed into the room immediately and saw Amosta sitting behind the desk holding a book, looking at the door with a calm and calm smile on his face. He nodded to the waiter,

"Please prepare some food for us."

The Muggle waiter bowed, confirmed that the big black dog showed no signs of madness, and closed the door.

Huh--

The image of the big black dog was distorted, and then the image of Sirius appeared in the dim light.

"You don't seem too surprised by my appearance, Amosta?"

Sirius strode over and gave Amosta, who came out from behind the desk, a hug. After carefully looking at the calm face, Sirius smiled with satisfaction.

"Oh, in fact, when I sensed your and Fawkes' magic appearing within the hotel, I was indeed surprised for a moment, but I had probably figured it out by the time you went upstairs--"

Amosta smiled quietly,

"Maybe Remus sent a message to Headmaster Dumbledore, and you were sent here by Dumbledore?"

"Oh, nothing can be hidden from you--"

Sirius said with a smile, he looked around and saw the expensive Muggle brands of wine on the wine rack, walked out and took out a bottle of whiskey, poured half a glass and drank it all, then wiped his mouth and sighed comfortably,

"What happened? This outstanding little witch rushed to Hogwarts and told us the general situation. Dumbledore said that you should have some understanding of the situation, but do you know who took your wand?"

"Wait for this matter--"

Amosta was about to speak his mind, but he frowned slightly when he realized something, and turned to look at Amelia who had been standing there silently after entering the room.

"Did you go to Hogwarts in person?"

"Yes"

The girl behind the door suddenly became as reserved as when they first met. She didn't dare to look into Amosta's eyes, and stared at the carpet with her head down.

"Remus thought that Mr. Dumbledore must be informed of your situation as soon as possible, and he didn't dare to completely trust those goblins, so he asked me to go."

Amosta looked at Amelia, whose eyes were always dodging, and fell silent, and Amelia also remained silent. The atmosphere in the room was a little strange for a while.

"So--"

After a while, Amosta sighed,

"You already know everything?"

Amelia was shocked when she heard this. She shook her head subconsciously, but her eyes met Amosta's eyes as deep as the starry sky. She couldn't lie, and finally bit her lip and nodded slightly.

"Mom and Dad mentioned it to me--"

Amelia hesitated, but an inexplicable depression suddenly exploded in her heart, making her unable to restrain her doubts.

"Why did you hide all this? You guessed it when you first saw me, didn't you?"

The girl behind the door widened her clear eyes, clenched her fists because of excessive force, and her thin shoulders trembled slightly, but her eyes revealed a tenacious strength, which moved Amosta,

"You obviously know that we are a family, but why do you pretend not to know us?"

Ahem!

Sirius spit out a mouthful of wine. He covered his mouth and tried to stop himself from coughing, staring at the two people in the confrontation in astonishment.

"I don't want to deceive you, Amelia--"

Amosta didn't hide his tired face. He rubbed his eyebrows and said calmly

"When I was at the immigration office, after seeing your face and hearing your last name, I did have a rough guess about your identity, including in St. Cia. I must admit that I can't completely eliminate my curiosity about you and hope to know something about you."

Amosta met Amelia's burning eyes. He had an illusion that the sight of this girl younger than him was sharper than Dumbledore.

"But I don't want to disturb your life too much."

"This is a completely selfish idea!"

Amelia didn't know where she got the courage, but she was angry about Amosta's concealment.

Amelia rushed to Amosta from behind the door. She really acted like an elder to Amosta and angrily scolded him,

"We are a family, aren't we? You should stay with us, Amosta. Why do you think you will disturb our lives?"

Panting, tears welled up in Amelia's eyes,

"Belina is my sister. Mom and Dad have always treasured the photo album with her. They have always regretted what happened back then. They regretted not accepting her again and not accepting you. Are you really unwilling to give them even a chance to forgive their sins?"
