Amosta hopes to find an agent within the Ministry of Magic. At present, the most suitable candidate is Amelia Bones, and he currently has a total of three chips in hand.
The first point is the clearest, and that is his identity as the Director of the Student Safety Office at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Even without Dumbledore, Hogwarts' status in the wizarding world is transcendent. The faculty and staff in the school can also be regarded as 'magical officials' to a certain extent, not to mention Dumbledore's role in setting up this position. At that time, it was defined as the Vice Principal level of Hogwarts.
The second point is the wisdom shown by Amosta Brain in solving the trouble caused by Sirius.
The third reason is even more important.
Compared with the Muggle world, the magical world still retains certain characteristics of human society in ancient times, that is, 'the strong is respected'.
The power shown by Amosta when he destroyed Greyback has exceeded the armed forces possessed by the Ministry of Magic. If Albus Dumbledore hadn't still been there, the entire Ministry of Magic might have been affected by the sudden appearance of the British wizarding community. A super strong man fell into panic.
However, forming an alliance also depends on the wishes of both parties.
From Amosta's point of view, Amelia Bones has shown a certain willingness, but she is still wary of herself.
This is a normal thing. After all, the two people have never crossed paths before, and now he stands in front of the Ministry of Magic in such an eye-catching way, forcing the Ministry of Magic to face himself. This is something everyone will feel. Alert.
"That's right, Amelia--"
At Ms. Bones's request, Amosta called her by her first name.
"In fact, when I came to the Ministry of Magic this time, in addition to being invited to participate in the press conference and the awarding of honors, I also had some private matters to deal with. Originally, I planned to ask Minister Fudge."
Ms. Bones blinked in surprise, and then a smile appeared on her lips.
Asking people to do things is also a way to show intimacy. On the night of Greyback's death, she tried to invite Amosta to join the Ministry of Magic. However, the olive branch she extended was rejected by Amosta, which made her think Amosta, like Dumbledore, doesn't want to get involved in the Ministry of Magic, but now it seems that Amosta Brain himself is looking for something.
"Is there anything I can do to help-"
Ms. Bones smiled and said immediately,
"You're welcome, Amosta, even for Susan's sake, I will do my best."
He didn't mention Greyback or Sirius, but instead he talked about Susan, the little wizard in school who Amosta didn't pay much attention to. This was just talking about personal relationships.
It is indeed easier to deal with smart people, Amosta nodded in his mind.
"Hagrid, tell me about your trouble--"
"Uh, what. Oh, it doesn't mean... um, it's Buckbeak!"
Hagrid, who was confused due to nervousness, came to his senses. Because of his experience of being expelled from Hogwarts, he was always very nervous about anything that went against the law.
Hagrid swallowed and said cautiously,
"Buckbeak is a Hippogriff. He had an accident in the Forbidden Forest. Oh - no, it, it caused Draco to have an accident during class."
"Draco?"
Hagrid's stammering words confused Ms. Bones. She frowned and asked in confusion,
"He's Lucius Malfoy's son. What's wrong with him?"
Amosta glanced at Hagrid, whose face was flushed, and said casually and lightly,
"A small accident not worth mentioning. In order to show his character, little Mr. Malfoy did not follow the rules in the Care of Magical Creatures class, and annoyed a hippogriff named Buckbeak, so , received a paw on the arm."
Noticing that Ms. Bones' eyebrows were slightly furrowed, Amosta added,
"I recovered the same day. It was not a serious injury."
Ms. Bones's frown relaxed. She pondered for a moment, and there was more smile in her eyes.
"Lucius is using the topic as an excuse?"
"The Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures has launched formal proceedings against Buckbeak and will most likely execute the innocent little guy."
Amosta picked up the tea cup. The red tea soup in the cup was crystal clear. When the liquid surface was still, it looked like a ruby. However, Amosta only took a slight sip with a calm expression.
"I know this is not going to be easy--"
Ms. Bones didn't speak for a moment. Hagrid's big hands like bear paws were clenched tightly, sweating nervously.
"As long as I can let go of Little Buck, I can give up any reward!"
Ms. Bones suddenly stood up from the sofa opposite. Hagrid thought he had offended her and wanted to explain, but Amosta gave him a calming gesture.
Ms. Bones quickly walked to the small desk of the Assistant Minister, took out a quill from the pen holder, and wrote a few words on the paper. Then she took out her wand and clicked on the parchment. He immediately floated into the air, folded himself into a paper airplane, and rushed out of the office through the crack of the door with a whoosh.
"I wrote a note to Mockridge asking him to re-evaluate the harm of this matter. I think they probably won't harass you anymore, Hagrid."
Ms. Bones returned to the sofa and said kindly.
Is this the end?
Hagrid looked confused. This incident had caused him pain for more than half a year!
"One more thing, Amelia--"
Hagrid was still dazed, but Amosta had forgotten the matter.
"I think you may have a memory. During last summer vacation, a young wizard at Hogwarts applied for a time-turner from the Ministry of Magic. It was used for study."
After a brief thought, Ms. Bones nodded.
"This is indeed the case. I don't quite remember the name of the little wizard, but I remember that it was Minerva who came to the ministry to find Connelly to sign the order with the child's end-of-year exam results and comments from the professors of each subject. son."
"The time-turner is broken."
Amosta took out the time-turner that he had broken from his arms and showed it to Ms. Bones.
"broken?"
This time, Ms. Bones's expression was much more solemn. Time turners are strictly controlled magic props. Each one is registered. If one is broken rashly without a legitimate reason, the Ministry of Magic will definitely We will pursue it to the end.
"Yes--"
Amosta nodded.
"The name of that little wizard is Hermione Granger - a very smart and hard-working little witch. She can't remember how the time turner broke. Probably, she was escaping with Harry Potter. On the way to be hunted by werewolves.”
"In other words, Greyback broke it?"
Ms. Bones' expression softened.
"Yes, the 'culprit' has been punished."
Amosta's face is not red and his heart is not beating. He is just framing the blame. If you are not convinced, you can ask Greyback to come out and say a few words for you.
"Then this matter will be much easier to handle."
Ms Bones said,
"Well, tell Hermione Granger to write a statement of the situation and ask Minerva and you to sign it. After that, I will give the statement to Connery and ask him to sign it. Return the disclaimer to the Department of Mysteries and the matter will be closed."
