Dumbledore did get him a good job.
Dumbledore left in a hurry. Tired from the journey, he couldn't wait to go back to his private bathroom to take a bath to cleanse himself from exhaustion. Amosta was still leaning on the sofa in the office, thinking about what Principal Dumbledore had just told him. .
This is indeed not an easy task.
The specific competition events of the Triwizard Tournament are top secret. At this stage, the competition team has not even selected the competition events to be held. Only after the organizer is decided, the competition team will tailor dozens of competitions for the three schools. Determined by drawing lots in each competition event.
Without knowing the events of the competition in advance, I had to come up with a safety plan to ensure the safety of the little wizards. This was indeed a bit overwhelming.
But Amosta doesn’t have a choice, does he?
Just as Dumbledore said, as the principal of this school, he must strive for this honor for the school, and Amosta, who graduated from Hogwarts and holds an important position related to security, must also do his best. Try your best, otherwise, if the wizards in the British wizarding world know that Hogwarts lost the honor of being the host because of insufficient safety work, I don’t know how many people will poke his spine!
In addition, Dumbledore also told him that he must prepare a security plan as soon as possible, because this matter is of great importance, and his plan must be approved by the Ministry of Magic, specifically, the International Magical Cooperation Department related to this event. and recognition from the Department of Magical Sports and Games.
Barty Crouch.
Thinking of this person, Amosta, who got up and walked around, couldn't help but frown slightly.
There was no grudge between the two, and Amosta even had a little appreciation for Barty Crouch. But because Amosta almost unequivocally supported Amelia, the two were essentially 'political rivals.' .
Speaking of which, Barty Crouch is really lucky.
Originally, Barty Sr. should have been unlucky because of the wrongful conviction of Sirius and his imprisonment. According to Fudge's preconception, he would directly use this incident as an opportunity to exclude Barty Crouch from the Wizenga. Momo, and then further promoted the fermentation of public opinion, causing Barty to lose his position as Director of the International Cooperation Department of the Ministry of Magic.
But who would have thought that Barty Crouch's radical remarks in the Wizengamot Tribunal and Peter's subsequent unexplained death would actually make his prestige in the hearts of some people who have a strong sense of justice. increase.
Barty has secured his position again, and if the Triwizard Tournament is successfully held and Hogwarts eventually serves as the host, this will be another great political achievement. Maybe he can use this to make a comeback and finally win the championship. Maybe he could get a glimpse of the Minister of Magic's position.
It would not be in Amosta's interest to have Barty Crouch in power.
How about taking advantage of the maneuvering to make Hogwarts?
The moment this idea appeared in Amosta's mind, he was suppressed. He could not treat bottom line and moral integrity as child's play like those politicians.
The errands that Dumbledore suddenly threw at him really disrupted many of Amosta's plans. The 'physical education class' that he valued so much had just entered a substantial stage. If he throws it away now, the previous training would be in vain. .
The sky was dark.
Amosta came to the window, sniffing the air that was gradually losing heat and becoming fresher. He rubbed his brows and stared at the playground.
Taking advantage of the short time before dinner, many young wizards were having fun on the lawn. In the Quidditch pitch surrounded by stands, several young wizards from Hufflepuff House were faithfully performing their tasks. command to complete today’s running exercise.
Amosta suddenly laughed a few times, turned his head and walked towards the door, preparing to go downstairs for dinner.
Now, he felt a bit of Professor McGonagall's pain - what it was like to work under a hands-off shopkeeper.
Harry and others did not dare to get too close. They hid at the corner of the stairs on the third floor and watched worriedly as Sirius strode into Professor Blaine's office, his figure within the sight of several people.
A moment ago, Sirius had aggressively wanted to trouble Snape because of him. Although he assured Harry that he just wanted to have a good chat with Snape about his teaching attitude, after knocking on the door several times, Snape After there was still no response from Nep's office, Sirius couldn't help but use rude means to break open the door that excluded others.
Looking at the specimens of magical plants and animals placed against the wall, floating in colorful solutions, Harry and Sirius frowned at the same time, showing identical expressions of disgust.
No one could be seen in the private storage room further inside. Just when the two of them were wondering whether Blaise Chabini had provided them with wrong and false information, Professor Blaine's patron saint came through the wall and stayed on the two of them. before.
"Professor Snape, and Professor Dumbledore--"
He and Sirius were rushing to the third floor and happened to meet Hermione and Ron on the first floor who were hurriedly preparing to look for them. Hermione said breathlessly,
"He's both - both in Professor Blaine's office."
"Interesting-" Faced with Hermione's reminder, Sirius just smiled coldly, "Could it be that the snot-nosed villain complained first?"
"It doesn't look like it, little, Sirius--"
Despite Sirius's repeated requests, Ron was still not used to calling a professor by his name in front of him. He stammered,
"Professor Dumbledore, at least, he seems to be in a good mood, no, he doesn't look angry."
"I'm fine, Sirius, really!"
Even in the den of dragons and tigers, Sirius didn't feel afraid. He was going to go in and meet Snape, but Harry held his arm firmly and looked at him firmly.
"You can't fight Snape in front of Professor Dumbledore and Professor Braine. Please, Sirius, don't reveal the secret to him!"
In fact, Harry wanted to say that he would rather be given trouble by Snape a hundred times more than have Sirius attack Snape again and again and be kicked out of Hogwarts by Dumbledore.
Perhaps it was the sincerity in Harry's eyes that touched Sirius. He seemed to be calmer. After giving Harry a reassuring smile, he broke away from Harry's hand and strode towards Professor Blaine's office.
The waiting time is always the most painful.
The three Harrys had been staying at the corner of the stairs. They didn't dare to get too close, because the two most powerful wizards in the world were staying in that office. They didn't dare to hope that Professor Dumbledore and Professor Blaine wouldn't notice. They eavesdropped, but they still couldn't help but stretch their ears.
The little wizards coming and going looked at them strangely, but Harry was in no mood to pay attention and had been worried about Sirius' fate.
"Don't worry, Harry—"
Hermione noticed that Harry's fists were always clenched tightly. She patted his shoulder and spoke softly,
"Professor Dumbledore and Professor Blaine are not indiscriminate. They must know that Sirius just wants to help you get rid of Professor Snape's prejudice. He has no intention of causing trouble."
To be honest, Hermione's statement was not very objective.
Sirius did want to help him get rid of Snape, but it was also true that he personally disliked Snape.
Time passed minute by minute, as if a whole day had passed, and finally there was movement from dozens of feet away.
Harry rushed out the moment the door hinge squeaked, but as soon as he took two steps, his body suddenly froze and his expression froze.
The first person to walk out was Snape. His face was uglier than ever since Harry had known this man. Moreover, Snape seemed to have suffered a heavy blow. He was usually walking like the wind. The steps were actually a bit erratic.
Could it be that Snape was the one who was expelled? !
If it weren't for the fact that Sirius who walked out of the door with a shocked expression, Harry might have really thought so.
Harry ignored Snape's gaze that rested on his face as he passed by him. He rushed over and once again supported Sirius, who looked a little weak.
"What's going on, Sirius?"
Harry glanced at Snape who had already gone downstairs and asked worriedly,
"You two - I mean, you didn't do anything, right?"
