On a moonlit night, a lively family dinner was taking place in the Leaky Cauldron. Except for Charlie and Bill, all the Weasley family were present. In addition, Harry, Hermione, and Armor were all present. Star was also a special guest at this family dinner. Even the bar owner Tom, when serving them food, was pushed down on a chair by the blushing Mrs. Weasley and poured two cups of honey. liquor.
"I don't know how to thank you, honey!"
Mrs. Weasley tugged Amosta's sleeve tightly and said, this was the fifth time she had said this to Amosta tonight, "I can't imagine what it would be like if Ginny and Ron really Of...oh, that’s terrible!”
"We were planning to go to Hogwarts to express our gratitude to you in person, Amosta--"
Mr. Weasley wiped the sweat from his bald forehead and said with a smile.
During this period of time, Mr. Weasley, who had been nervous because of Black's escape from prison, rarely encountered a happy thing. Therefore, although he obviously couldn't drink enough, he indulged himself a little and drank a lot of rum.
"What happened back then..."
Mr. Weasley burped and said,
"I mean when you were at Hogwarts with Bill and Charlie, after the terrible incident that night, Molly and I wanted to go to Hogwarts to thank you in person, but Snape told us that you You need to be locked up for a whole semester, not allowing us to see you... In the first half of the year, after you fished Ginny and Ron out of the Chamber of Secrets, we planned to visit again, and I wrote to Dumbledore to ask if it was appropriate. , but he told us that you had left the school, and your whereabouts are a mystery!"
The two brothers Fred and George, who were sitting opposite Amosta, looked at their dazed parents and snickered non-stop. The other little ones also had the same reaction, except for the eldest child of the Weasley family. , Percy wrinkled his nose and looked a little dissatisfied.
"Oh, Mom and Dad!"
Percy straightened his chest with the student union president badge to make it more dazzling in the candlelight, and complained in a serious tone.
"We are all very happy to see Professor Brain again, mom and dad, but you are a bit too rude!"
"It's okay, Percy--"
Amosta supported the confused Mrs. Weasley on her shoulders and said to Percy with a smile,
"This is not a school. We don't need to be too rigid...Ah, speaking of which, I haven't had time to congratulate you on becoming the president of the student union. Dumbledore made a wise choice, didn't he? I think you deserve your reputation. Go home, just like your brother Bill--"
Percy blushed and didn't know how to answer, so he had to look at the twin brother who was making vomiting gestures with his 'evil' eyes.
The family atmosphere of the Weasley family is indeed very good. Affected by this atmosphere, Amosta is also in a good mood. After a long absence, he talks to the Weasleys about his classmates who have graduated.
A considerable number of these people have disappeared from the public. Some of them are even more closely related to the Muggle world. There are only a few who stand out. For example, Nymphado who entered the Ministry of Magic and became an Auror. La Tonks.
"Oh, I know, that little girl is very passionate and very popular in the Auror office--"
Mr. Weasley clinked the cup with Amosta again and said, "Speaking of which, Rufus and his gang have not been very lucky recently... they have encountered a difficult situation. They have been staying at St. Mungo's for half a year. It took more than a month to recover, and I was about to make some achievements in front of Fudge and Old Barty, when I ran into Blake again--"
cough--
Amosta coughed awkwardly and quickly changed the subject.
"Speaking of which, I heard that Bill worked as a Curse Breaker in Gringotts, Egypt after graduation. How is he doing recently?"
"Oh, mention this!" Mrs. Weasley, who had been smiling all night, suddenly became angry, "Bill and his colleagues were entangled by those nasty goblins from Gringotts!"
"A goblin from Gringotts?"
Amosta blinked and asked in surprise, "Isn't he serving Gringotts?"
"This matter also has something to do with Rufus and the others' encounter with the gang of dark wizards." Mr. Weasley shook his head and said with a wry smile.
"Two months ago, Rufus and the others intercepted a group of dark wizards who were smuggling cultural relics... The things in their hands were exactly what Bill and the others unearthed... The dark wizards handed over the things to the Ancients after Bill and the others handed them over. The Lingge took action immediately after that. This matter was so strange that the goblins thought there must be spies among Bill and his colleagues, so they asked the Egyptian Ministry of Magic to imprison them all and interrogate them one by one..."
Amosta pursed his lips and lowered his head, suddenly becoming interested in the glass in front of him.
"--Of course, the result of the interrogation is that Bill and his colleagues are innocent, but the goblins are unwilling to accept this result. They require that all wizard employees must be under their surveillance until the things are recovered. .., in my opinion, those greedy goblins should take a better look at themselves, they look like guys who are more capable of doing this kind of thing!"
Mrs. Weasley, who finally had the opportunity to visit her eldest son, but encountered such a thing again, screamed angrily.
"Ahem, you are right, Mrs. Weasley, indeed... I think this is more like something the goblins sent to do!"
Amosta coughed a few more times, looked innocent, and nodded in agreement.
............
This lively family dinner lasted until after nine o'clock in the evening and finally ended. Amosta, who often drank with clients in his previous life, achieved great success. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were carried upstairs by their three oldest sons, and their youngest daughter , Ginny, who looked more energetic than last semester, ran to the boss and asked for two glasses of honey water, and then ran upstairs.
Amosta was holding a cup of steaming tea, leaning on a support, looking at the three little ones who basically had no chance to talk to him, and said with a smile,
"I noticed that you have always wanted to say something to me, right?"
Hermione, who was two degrees tanned after a summer vacation, smiled shyly. Then, she looked at Harry and said worriedly,
"Harry told us something-"
Amosta's eyes immediately pointed at Harry, his eyebrows raised.
Is this kid stupid enough to gossip about Blaine Manor and his life experience?
"Oh, it's about Black, Professor!"
Facing Professor Blaine's sharp gaze, Harry suddenly woke up and trembled suddenly, and quickly explained,
"I told Ron and Hermione about my guess that Black escaped from prison to hunt me down... and that you accepted Fudge's commission and are hunting for Black. Nothing else. explain!"
Amosta nodded with satisfaction and his eyes softened. He was currently researching blood magic spells and was short of experimental materials...
"You have other secrets you haven't told us!"
Ron understood immediately and glared at Harry dissatisfied.
Hermione was also curious about what Harry was hiding, but she was obviously more worried about Harry's safety.
"Professor, that Black, how do you plan to deal with him?"
As soon as Hermione's question came out, something suddenly stirred in Ron's pocket. In an instant, a sluggish mouse popped out of the pocket, its dark eyes showing curiosity.
