"problem occurs?"
Remus followed Amosta's gaze and looked in the direction of the door. He repeated his words in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Amosta didn't answer. He adjusted his sitting posture, leaned back on the chair, smiled and waited for the wooden door to be closed next to be knocked. However, what actually happened was much more intense than expected.
boom!
As if someone detonated a bomb at the door, the fragile door panel of Amosta's residence instantly turned into debris flying all over the sky in the fierce roar. The rapidly expanding air wave carried the smoke and dust and raged past the foyer toward the door. People came to the living room and rushed to Amosta in an instant.
Buzz!
The milky white barrier that appeared out of thin air blocked the bullet-sharp sawdust and billowing dust. Amosta stood up from the stool in shock. He really didn't expect that the old comrade dean would be so excited.
"Sorry, did I interrupt the old classmates' reunion, Lupin!"
Ignoring the obstruction of Dumbledore who was also surprised, Snape rushed into the room with a grin. When he walked out of the dust and saw the faces of the two people who seemed to be dining in the living room, Snape looked like he was about to get his revenge. Pu's expression instantly froze!
The dust floating in the air fell slowly, and a fleeting light flashed through the half-moon lens. Dumbledore shook his beard helplessly, carefully stepped on the gravel and rotten wood that was wet by the rain, and walked into the living room. .
One second, two seconds, three seconds...silence became the main theme in the living room.
Remus was dumbfounded by Snape's impulsiveness. Dumbledore folded his hands and pressed the beard on his lower abdomen, staring at the storm on the ceiling with interest, Amosta and his cheeks pursed tightly. The flushed Snape looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the room was weird and funny.
Ahem--
Looking at Professor Snape, who looked as ugly as if he had swallowed a few slugs, Amosta blinked innocently, and then a bright smile spread across his face.
"Long time no see, Professor Snape, are you here to spend Halloween with me too?"
"Amosta Blaine!"
Snape suddenly tightened his grip on the wand, his face trembling slightly. He looked at Lupine for a while, and then at his proud disciple whom he had not seen for more than half a year. Finally, he couldn't help but roar.
"Tell me why you are here!"
.........
"Do you understand now, Severus?"
Dumbledore took out his wand and restored the damage caused by Snape one by one. He looked at him gently and said,
"Remus didn't help Black break into the castle. He stayed with Amosta all night. I don't think you thought Amosta was also Black's helper, right?"
Dumbledore's short sentence had told everyone the most important information. The stimulated Remus's cheeks, which were rosy due to drinking, suddenly turned pale, and the knuckles on the back of his hand that were pressed on the table were also wet Bai, he opened his mouth and stared at Dumbledore. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out.
"Yes, Remus,"
Dumbledore responded to the question in Remus' eyes with a calm tone,
"Just tonight, Black broke into Hogwarts, trying to get into the Gryffindor common room and do something."
Hearing this, Amosta's eyelids trembled.
During the summer vacation, the mark he planted on Harry still existed, which meant that Harry escaped again.
"--Fortunately, Blake didn't succeed. No little wizard was harmed, and only one portrait was seriously damaged."
Dumbledore continued,
"We have launched a search in the castle, but no trace of Black has been found so far. Remus, if you don't mind, I hope you can return to the castle now and help Minerva and the others continue to search for Black."
Remus left without saying a word, without even having time to say hello to Amosta.
The thunderstorm that had been raging for several hours finally stopped. High in the sky, strong winds swept through the stratus clouds, and the nearly full moon was looming in the stratus clouds.
"You already knew--"
When Remus left here, the anger in Snape's heart, who felt he had been fooled, immediately burst out. He looked away from Amosta, who always looked innocent, and glared at Dumbledore with a livid face.
"You already knew Amostar was in Hogsmeade, Dumbledore, but you didn't tell me anything!"
"Oh, I'm sorry, Severus, are you angry that I kept Amosta's whereabouts from you?"
Dumbledore, who was standing in the living room with a ceiling that was not high from the floor, was almost stuck in the rolling thunderclouds. To avoid embarrassment, he sat directly on Remus' seat and heard Snape's question. A smile appeared on his old cheeks,
"If that's the case, Severus, I have to defend myself... Although my memory is not as good as before, I really don't seem to remember that you asked me to pay attention to Amosta's whereabouts? "
Snape's breath suffocated, and his expression felt like he had swallowed a few juice-filled slugs.
"What about you, Amosta?"
Snape panted and stared at the innocent-faced Amosta, pursed his lips and spat out word after word.
"You have obviously left Hogwarts, why did you come back and how did you get together with that...!"
"Well, that's actually the case--"
Amosta scratched his cheek and showed a clear smile. Before he could make up some words, such as Hogsmeade is surrounded by mountains and rivers, has a quiet environment, and he hopes to settle here after years of hard work outside. The nonsense was interrupted by Snape with an angry tone.
"I need you to tell the truth, Amosta!"
Amosta blinked his eyes and kept his innocent face. In a daze, he seemed to have returned to the conversation he had in school after Snape caught him secretly brewing the forbidden potion...
"I guess I shouldn't interrupt this touching moment of reunion."
Dumbledore walked out of the house very discerningly, and closed the door thoughtfully when he left.
"For money," Amosta said concisely, "Black's bounty is fifty thousand Galleons!"
How should I put it? Regarding this answer, Snape was actually not too surprised. It was not the first day he met Amosta. When he was in school, what had this guy done to get some Galleons for himself? The general heart is clear.
"Ha, fifty thousand galleons--"
Snape glared at Amosta, as if he was lecturing the younger generation who had gone astray, and said angrily.
"You think you can get the money, Amosta, huh? Black... that filthy, smelly guy, but since he was able to escape Azkaban, you think you can handle it Got him?!"
"What did you say, Professor Snape?"
Amosta laughed. He responded to Snape's angry eyes with a relaxed tone, but with extremely strong confidence.
"I'm afraid you have a little misunderstanding about my current abilities. Professor, in today's wizarding world, except for the old man outside the door who is eavesdropping on our conversation, I don't think there is any wizard worthy of my taking seriously. In fact, you should What I care about is, can Blake handle me?"
Snape was stunned by Amosta's almost arrogant words. He looked Amosta up and down. Looking at the young man in front of him who was both his most admired student and his younger brother, he suddenly felt that he was a little bit... strangeness.
"The growth of young people is too dazzling, Severus"
Dumbledore outside the door looked up at the pure starry sky after the thick clouds dispersed, and said with a smile, "So much so that we always subconsciously ignore it."
Amosta lowered his eyes and smiled without saying anything.
However, Snape fell into some kind of astonishment because of Dumbledore's sincere praise. Indeed, Amosta was the most outstanding young wizard he had ever seen in his teaching career and even in his thirty years of life. , even, he thought that even he might not be able to suppress Amosta now, but...
Except for Dumbledore, no one can deal with it... Amosta's arrogant self-evaluation was actually recognized by the greatest wizard of the contemporary era, which really confused Severus Snape. ..
