Time always passes quickly and quietly, and in a blink of an eye, the first month of the second half of the semester has come to an end.
No thrilling topic can compare to the trivial daily life. Amosta, who entered Hogwarts in the name of the school board's special investigator, did cause some waves at the beginning.
However, due to his extremely low sense of presence and the fact that two months have passed since the last attack, the topic about him was quickly abandoned. Some people have even forgotten that there is an inquisitor born in Slytherin in the school. .
Of course, some people believe that the reason why the attacks did not continue was that the secretly hidden investigators played a key deterrent role.
For Harry, this was the best possible situation.
People gradually stopped looking at him suspiciously. In fact, since the second week of school, Crabbe, Goyle, Daphne, Pansy and others have been arranging to take turns going to Amosta's office to report Harry's Malfoy. He seemed to realize that his behavior was boring and started to stop playing.
Another happy thing was that Hermione was finally getting rid of her embarrassing black hair, and Madam Pomfrey told them that she was going to officially discharge Hermione at the weekend.
Fred and George have been unhappy recently. Ever since they learned about Mr. Brain's method of monitoring the academy, they have not dared to wander around the castle unscrupulously at night, because although Mr. Brain seems to be a very talkative person, However, this does not mean that he can endure repeated provocations.
At eight o'clock on Thursday night, Amosta stayed in his office, watching Harry and Ron return to the Gryffindor common room and disappear into the pictures on the wall.
Now, nearly three weeks have passed since he posted the announcement, and even Amosta himself has to admit that this first-hand test has almost officially failed.
What to do next?
Should we release false news that the little wizard who was attacked has regained consciousness, or should we continue to wait?
Amosta stared at the photo of him and Grandma Felena on the table, and hesitated for a moment.
The glass mirror reflected a blurry but still distinguishable young face that was much more haggard than before. Amosta had to admit that he somewhat underestimated the difficulty of this task and underestimated the patience of his opponent.
Amosta moved his eyes and looked at the open letter paper spread out on the table full of complicated magic model deductions. This letter was sent this afternoon, and the person who wrote it was Kakus. · Foley.
Dear Mr. Blaine,
I'm sorry to interrupt you while you're on your way to completing your commission, Mr. Brain, but there's something I think you might need to know.
Recently, an unknown force suddenly appeared in the underground world. They are asking around for the whereabouts and true identity of the 'Golden Viper'. Out of curiosity and vigilance, I did a little investigation and found that their leader is the magic relic that was released before. As for the client of the exploration mission, I have not yet found out their purpose of searching for the 'Golden Viper'.
Also, as far as I know, Lucius Malfoy has been active recently and seems to be planning to expel Albus Dumbledore from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Yours faithfully
Kacus Foley
Amosta rubbed his fingers with a cold expression, his deep eyes constantly wandering back and forth over the short words on the letter paper.
There is a group of people investigating 'Golden Viper?' ', this is really an interesting thing!
Who could it be, Amosta thought quietly. During the more than three years that he had been operating in the underground world under the name "Golden Viper", to be honest, for various reasons, the people he offended were not counted. few.
But if anyone had a life-and-death grudge against him, it would be nothing more than those big wolfdogs who relied on their rough coats and tough fur to act unscrupulously.
But since even Kakus couldn't figure out their identities, then the people investigating Golden Viper must not be those annoying werewolves, because those guys never bothered to hide their identities.
Karkus provided too little information, and Amosta couldn't tell who was interested in him. Apart from reminding himself to be more vigilant, there was no good way to deal with it for the time being.
As for the second point mentioned by Karkus, Amosta didn't care too much about Lucius Malfoy's plan to expel Dumbledore. It is unlikely that anyone with a brain would believe Malfoy. Being able to do such a thing, the reason why Karkus mentioned this in the letter was nothing more than a subtle reminder.
Because the Malfoy and Greengrass families were firmly opposed to the previous dispatch of investigators, if Lucius Malfoy really succeeded in expelling Dumbledore from Hogwarts briefly, then this would This means that he will be driven away immediately, and in this case, the mission of finding the 'Secret Treasure of Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets' will be completely failed.
After sighing softly, Amosta stood up and went to the bookshelf, and pulled out a copy of the Daily Prophet sent by an owl on Monday morning from the bottom shelf.
Most of the news published on the main page of the newspaper was about singing and dancing. Only one article from Rita Skeeter was interesting, which was Rita Skeeter's sharp evaluation of the "Muggle Protection Act" which was enacted last summer and has been in effect for more than half a year.
However, Amosta's purpose of taking out the newspaper was not to recall the interesting remarks of this reporter who was famous for his acrimony, vitriol and nonsense. He turned the newspaper to page seven and stared at the lower right corner. An announcement that only occupies a small space is lost in thought.
"...At present, upon the recommendation of the Director of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies, and approved by the hospital's board of directors, Adairy Foley has been confirmed as the director of the Department of Strange Bacterial Infections at the hospital. It is reported that Ms. Foley was appointed in 1975 In September, he joined St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies as a therapist. As of the date of the report, he has worked in the department for nearly eighteen years..."
Is this why Karkus Foley tried so hard to get the commission to find Slytherin's secret treasure...
Amosta's eyes deepened. At first, he thought that the person who issued this commission was just a wizard or a dark wizard in the underground world who coveted Slytherin's secret treasure. But now it seems that things are not that simple.
Who could have issued this commission?
Amosta's mind flashed through a series of names of powerful officials in the Ministry of Magic, but he was never able to confirm the answer.
Tuk-tuk-tuk--
A sudden knock on the door interrupted Amosta's contemplation. He looked at the surveillance camera and found that the person coming was Professor Snape.
The life of living day and night was too hard, so during these days, Snape would occasionally come over to help Amos when he was free and let Amos have a good rest. However, he usually gave Amos a good rest in advance. Ta sent a message, never paid a direct visit like this.
After returning to school again, Professor Snape showed a very obvious alienation and alienation towards him. This once made Amosta feel strange, but after thinking about it, he could understand it a little bit.
Professor Snape may be afraid that if one day his old master, the King, returns, he will most likely be stuck in the quagmire again and unable to extricate himself.
By then, if too many people know about his intimate relationship, he will be dragged into the water. Therefore, the real purpose of Professor Snape's deliberate indifference is probably to protect himself.
"Still nothing new discovered?"
Snape, who was always in a hurry, strode into Amosta's office. He stared at the sluggish young man behind the desk. He didn't know if it was because he smoked too much poisonous smoke while brewing potions that he was always tired. The yellow and stiff face showed subtle changes.
"It's obvious."
Amosta stood up and stretched a lot, and said in a lazy tone, "Are you here to help with the shift?"
"Headmaster Dumbledore wants to see you,"
Snape moved his lips and sneered, "Maybe you should be prepared to be fired, Amosta--"
