Amosta had known for a long time where the Potter family's old house was. This was not surprising, because this was something that almost everyone in the wizarding world knew.
He still remembered that when he first entered Hogwarts, in order to deepen his understanding of this mysterious world unknown to Muggles, he bought the newly updated book "Important Magical Events of the Twentieth Century". It records in detail how the 'Boy Who Lived' defeated the arrogant Dark Lord.
As Amosta gradually learned about the magical world, he realized that most of the colorful records in the book were compiled to highlight the mystery of the parties involved. However, the location of the Potter's old house mentioned in it was unknown. Still real.
Godric's Hollow - the birthplace of Godric Gryffindor, one of the great founders of Hogwarts, is located in the southwest of England. This is a vast basin densely populated by stars. There are many large and small human villages. Most of the villages and towns are mixed with Muggles and wizards. There are only a few small and pitiful villages where pure wizards live.
When Amosta got off the Muggle bus - Amosta did not choose to take the knight bus. He had done it once before and almost vomited bile. The thing that Ged MacPhail came up with with his 'inspiration' had a shadow on his mind.
There was no way to Disapparate, because Amostar had never been to Godric's Hollow, and the Floo Network was a long-distance travel method that Amostar could accept. Unfortunately, he had no acquaintances here, and it was Godric who There are no public fireplaces here in the Valley.
After comprehensively considering various travel methods, Amosta took the Hogwarts Express back to London and used the Muggle method to reach the peaceful village on the southwest border.
The moment he set foot on this legendary and historical village and glanced over the clean streets and neat houses on both sides of the streets, Amosta excluded Godric's Hollow from his options for future settlements for no reason. He, the proportion of Muggle villagers living here was much higher than he thought. If he settled here, he might as well just get a house on the outskirts of London.
Amosta, who was dressed in Muggle clothes, walked forward, and within a few minutes, he saw the war monument standing in the central square of the village.
When Amosta stood under the tall and solemn stone monument, he felt that the obelisk near the wizard had changed, and silently turned into statues of three people.
The Potters and the infant Harry Potter, Amosta was silent for a while in front of the statue, shook his head slightly, and sighed softly,
"war--"
There are still some places worth visiting in this village, but Amosta did not waste time because of this. He came here with a purpose.
After asking a local wizard for the specific location of Potter's old house, Amosta quickened his pace and walked towards his destination. Five minutes later, after walking past a row of houses and several shops, Amosta stood in front of The end of this journey.
It was a two-story building painted in pure white. The right wall of the top room was completely blown open. Through the hole, Amosta could see that the bedroom was filled with rubble and dust.
There is a small courtyard covered with grass in front of the building. Because no one has taken care of it, the fence surrounding the courtyard with grass has grown messy. Even the entrance door is covered with ivy.
"Will you come back here to pay homage to your old master...and see what happened to your once best friend?"
Amosta murmured as he stared at the dilapidated building.
The moment he pushed aside the green vines blocking the road and stepped into the courtyard, he felt the traces of magic in the air. Carefully feeling the fluctuations of the magic, Amosta woke up. The house was surrounded by some kind of magic spell cast by the Ministry of Magic. Repelling spells should be used to protect against Muggles and homeless wild animals.
The knee-high weeds and nettles in the yard had many trampling marks, and various footprints overlapped on the soft ground. Amosta squatted down and studied for a while, thinking for a moment, and there was probably an accurate judgment.
He walked towards the house, that once warm but now dilapidated home, stepped up the stairs and stood in front of the rusty iron door.
Out of respect, those who came to pay homage to the Potters should not have broken into the house. What made Amosta make such a guess was the completely rusted door handle on the iron door.
Amosta did not break into the room immediately, but turned his head and looked at a small piece of wasteland under a broken window sash a few steps to the right of the standing stairs. There, Amosta 'saw' something A twisted mass of condensed magic power. This phenomenon represents the existence of magic in that wasteland.
Following a magic thread drawn from the twisted magic power, Amosta's eyes fell on the rusty door handle again. After thinking about it, his palm passed through the pocket of his jeans, and an ebony wand appeared. In the palm of his hand.
Dongdong--
Amosta tapped the doorknob with his wand, and the wasteland under the window sash immediately changed.
Like some strange, rapidly growing flower, a huge wooden sign grew out of the soil, and following the wooden sign, there was a white marble flower stand.
This large flower stand was filled with flowers brought by various wizards who came here to pay homage, almost submerging the wooden plaques engraved with gold characters.

Lily and James Potter died here
Their son Harry is the only wizard to survive the Killing Curse.
This house, invisible to Muggles, has been preserved as is
Use this ruin to commemorate the Potters
and warned of the violence that tore their family apart.
Amosta glanced over the neat handwriting, reading the rumors of various styles of messy handwriting on the brand. Unconsciously, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Potter has always lived at his aunt's house and has probably never returned to the place where he was born... I don't know what he will think when he sees these blessings."
A gentle breeze blew over his face, lifting a few strands of gray hair covering his forehead. Amosta lowered his eyelids, suppressed his smile, and his eyes became deeper.
"The fate of being destined to be a hero is very heavy, Potter. I don't know if you can bear it-"
In the first half of the year, Amosta stayed at Hogwarts for more than three months. This short period of time still allowed Amosta to see through some things.
On the surface, Dumbledore didn't seem to have much special care for Potter, but Amosta could sense that this thoughtful old wizard cared about Harry far more than the other young wizards in the school. .
The night the Chamber of Secrets incident ended, when he and Dumbledore were preparing to explore the passage on the Slytherin statue, the two had a little disagreement about Harry's whereabouts.
Dumbledore almost instinctively refused Harry to participate in explorations that might face danger, while Amosta believed that if young people want to grow up, they must be given more opportunities to experience... But in fact, he has already lived Didn't Dumbledore understand this simple truth at that age?
Of course Dumbledore understood, but his concern for Harry made him lose the coldness that a leader should have...
If he always had this attitude towards training Harry, he expected him to be able to shoulder the important task of destroying Voldemort in the future... To be honest, Amosta was not optimistic about this kind of education method.
It was precisely because of this lack of optimism that he agreed to Harry's request to take him to the underground world during the summer vacation some time ago. The purpose was to let Harry, who was well protected by Dumbledore, see it with his own eyes. See the dark side of the wizarding world and temper his mind.
It's not that Amosta intentionally interfered with Harry's growth, but he thought... to increase his chances of winning, if defeating Voldemort was really the mission imposed on Harry Potter by the world.
After all, a relatively stable and orderly magical world is what he pursues.
