"Gift?"
The three Harrys screamed at the same time. They looked at each other, wondering why Professor Blaine suddenly gave them gifts.
"On the one hand, as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, I commend you for your brave fight against the memory of the basilisk and Voldemort. On the other hand, it is to express my gratitude--"
Amosta explained with a smile.
Harry noticed keenly that after last night, Professor Braine began to call Voldemort by his first name. Before that, he had always used titles such as 'Dark Lord' or 'You-Know-Who'. To be honest, except for Apart from the three of them, or Principal Dumbledore, Harry had only heard the name once from Hagrid. The other wizards would scream in horror when they heard the word 'Voldemort'.
But for some reason, Harry didn't seem surprised by this, as if he had known for a long time that wizards like Professor Braine would not be afraid of Voldemort.
Think about it, this wizard in front of him was in fifth grade and had incredible ambitions to defeat Principal Dumbledore in the future - Harry said to himself.
"--If you three hadn't taken the lead and opened the Chamber of Secrets, I might have had to spend a lot of effort to find it. In that case, Ginny might have met with misfortune... Dumbledore has decided that he will be there at the end of the semester. Your efforts will be announced to everyone at the dinner and a special contribution award will be awarded to you..."
Amosta found that Harry and the other three did not reveal any surprises. Apparently, Dumbledore had informed them of all this in advance.
"So..."
Amosta reached into his pocket and pulled out a broken wand.
"This is my wand!" Ron exclaimed immediately.
"Yes, Mr. Weasley, I found it in a pile of rubble. Apparently you lost it... Unfortunately, this wand is completely broken. Even I can't replace it. Life is renewed.”
Looking at Ron who took the wand, feeling distressed and embarrassed, Amosta smiled slightly. He took out his money bag, and in the surprised eyes of the three little guys, he took out twenty golden Galleons. .
Ron's eyes widened and his breathing almost stopped. He probably guessed that the money was for him, but he couldn't believe it. To be honest, let alone owning it, he had never seen twenty pieces of gold since he was a child. Galleons' opportunities are few and far between!
"This should be enough for you to buy a new wand, Mr. Weasley. Don't refuse. This is a reward for your courage."
Ron shivered and took a large handful of gold coins. Before he could think of any words of thanks, he found that Professor Brain handed over another one that was larger than a galleung. The entire body of Merlin was engraved on the coin with an exquisite shape. Statue of silver coins,
"This is a commemorative coin specially issued by the International Federation of Wizards to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the promulgation of the Wizarding Statute of Secrecy. Mr. Weasley, I accidentally discovered it and bought it. It is of some value... Your father Arthur Weasley drafted the Muggle Protection Act to protect the rights and personal safety of Muggles, and I imagine it will mean something different to you."
Amosta looked at Ron who was a little overwhelmed and said with a smile,
"But I wish you could keep it instead of selling it for money!"
"I swear to you, Professor Blaine!"
Ron finally came to his senses and took the commemorative coin which was a little warm in his hand. His voice was trembling with excitement.
"I will take this silver coin to my grave!"
Looking at Ron, who looked like he couldn't put it down, Amosta's eyes flashed with a deep smile, and then he pointed his gaze at Hermione.
Hermione was probably the saddest one about his departure...
How should I put it? Professor Blaine's remarks about 'life and loneliness' gave her a lot of feelings. Although limited by her age, she was not able to empathize with her for the time being. In addition, Professor Blaine's achievements in the innovation of magic spells were also great. She was amazed. Previously, Hermione's purpose of learning was to master more knowledge, but she rarely thought about 'developing' new knowledge on her own.
Amosta's gift to Hermione was not unexpected, it was a magic book with a worn cover.
Hermione was even a little impatient when she took the book. Her green fingers brushed the gilded "Simplified Theory of Ancient Charms", and the voice of Professor Blaine's explanation rang in her ears.
"This book may still be a bit esoteric for you now..., Miss Granger, but you can try to study it first. It will give you a deep understanding of the history of the simplified evolution of the charm model. If If you want to achieve success in magic spell innovation in the future, I think it will be of great help to you..."
Hermione opened the cover and found a line of dates written in blue ink by Professor Brain on the front page introducing the life of Ulric Gamp. The handwriting looked very new, as if it had been written recently.
"Professor Brain--"
Hermione did not pursue the meaning of Professor Blaine's writing of this inexplicable date for the time being. She raised her head and looked at Professor Blaine, her lips pursed slightly, and her expression looked sad.
"Are you really not considering staying and continuing to teach... I mean, many people think that you are more outstanding than Professor Lockhart in teaching Defense Against Dark Arts experience..."
"Just...more outstanding?" Ron rolled his eyes and muttered quietly, "That guy is just an idiot...he's really good at flattering people and talking nonsense!"
Many young wizards have already heard the news that Amos is about to leave Hogwarts, and they all express their sadness at his departure. To be honest, facing these simple-minded young wizards, Amos It is impossible not to have ripples in Ta's heart.
However, compared to staying at Hogwarts and coaching under Dumbledore's nose, Amosta undoubtedly prefers adventure in the vast world. His strength has surpassed that of sitting at a desk and studying hard. To the point of improvement, only by constantly broadening one's knowledge and experience and fighting with more wizards can it be possible to make further progress!
In addition, the professor's pitiful salary for a year really cannot meet his needs...
Of course, maybe one day, he will completely return to this pure land in the memories of countless people, but that may be many years later.
Harry, who was already a little impatient, finally waited until Professor Blaine turned his attention to him. His eyes were eager and he guessed what he would receive.
"Maybe a Nimbus 2001?"
Harry guessed excitedly, but then he thought, he already had a very good broomstick, there was no need to change it again, and just when his mind was filled with random thoughts, Professor Blaine said something But Harry and the three of them were all surprised.
"About you, Potter—"
Amosta knew what he said would disappoint Harry, but he continued anyway.
"I don't have anything to give you right now..."
Both Hermione and Ron were stunned. They looked at Harry, whose eyes were wide with obvious disappointment, and then looked at Professor Blaine in confusion, wondering why the professor would leave Harry alone... Obviously, it was Harry who thought of the location of the secret room first. If Professor Blaine wants to be rewarded, Harry should bear the brunt of it!
"In other words, I do have something to give you, Potter, but it will take some time..."
Harry blinked, not understanding what Professor Blaine wanted to express, but suddenly, he shouted in surprise,
"Professor, you mean you will return to Hogwarts, right?!"
Hermione and Ron also woke up. He held his breath and stared at Professor Blaine expectantly, hoping to get a positive answer!
"I guess it will be like this..."
The thing was done, Amosta stood up with a wry smile. He turned around and walked towards the door, swinging his arms above his head.
"I will probably stay for a few more days... and then I won't say goodbye to you alone. You three, I wish you a happy life!"
