In the melodious and comfortable sea breeze, the words Amosta said with a calm expression made Sirius horrified.
"What do you mean, Amosta?"
As soon as the words came out, Sirius suddenly realized that he seemed to have asked Amosta this way many times tonight, but then he threw the question out of his mind with a solemn expression.
"Suddenly disappeared. What on earth were you planning?"
Amosta did not answer this question, he just smiled slightly and looked at Azkaban again.
Seeing his appearance, Sirius knew that he might not be able to ask any questions. He stared at Amosta's side face. He was clearly a young man in his early twenties, but there was something inappropriate for his age between his eyebrows. Perseverance. And the 'thickness' of his eyes was something he couldn't see through.
"You're awesome, Amosta—"
Sirius sighed, patted Amosta on the shoulder and said,
"I can't think of any wizard at your age who can have such powerful magic as you, not even Dumbledore, but I hope you understand - this is what my twelve years of imprisonment in Azkaban have taught me. , Remus, Dumbledore, ah, and Snape, we are all your friends. Even Voldemort and a bunch of Death Eaters, understand, Amosta, if you need help."
The soft starlight shone on Amosta's body, softening the outline of his profile.
"I don't want to be lectured to by you, Sirius."
Amosta playfully changed the subject, interrupting Sirius' next words,
"I'm going to Azkaban. That place has a great influence on you. Just wait for me here."
"You want to go up?"
Sirius frowned.
"Could it be that the memory we just experienced didn't solve your doubts. You want to go to the underground ruins, but how do you plan to get in? The crown of Ravenclaw is in your hands."
Under Sirius' worried gaze, Amosta rose into the air until he disappeared from his sight.
The wait always feels incredibly long.
For several hours, Sirius stood on the tattered deck, staring in the direction of Azkaban with worried eyes, but there was no movement there as silent as an abyss.
Indeed, Amosta's skills were extraordinary. If he were to explore other places, Sirius would not feel so worried. But after traveling in the memories of the two giants at Hogwarts, Sirius knew that Azkaban Far more dangerous than people think
It wasn't until the stars dimmed and the morning light was about to rise in the distant sky that a shadow quickly approaching against the sea surface made Sirius let out a long sigh of relief.
"How's it going? Did you encounter any accidents?"
When the shadow turned back to its original shape on the deck, Sirius immediately went up to it. He looked at Amosta for a few times, and then he breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't find that Amosta had suffered any harm. When Sirius looked at Xiang Amosta's eyes suddenly froze for a moment,
"your eyes--"
"It's the original color again, right?"
Amosta seemed to be in a good mood. He touched the corners of his eyes with his fingertips and said with a smile.
"Okay, as long as it's okay——"
Sirius did not ask Amosta if it was really the reason why Ravenclaw's diadem opened the underground secret realm, nor did he ask what Amosta had done in the past few hours. Seeing that nothing happened, He shrugged his shoulders and said.
But suddenly, Sirius' mood cheered up again,
"It's done, right? Does this mean we can go back? Oh, Harry must be waiting for me to pick him up to watch the Quidditch World Cup. How about it, Amosta, do you want to go together? , we went to pick up Harry first. Remus was probably impatient to wait in the old house. He and Kreacher didn't get along. Before the summer vacation, we all agreed that we would stay at the Weasley's house for a few days first, and then Let’s take these little guys to the Quidditch World Cup!”
Sirius looked at Amosta eagerly, hoping that he would agree, but was disappointed. Amosta slowly shook his head.
"I don't like places that are too noisy. For the rest of the summer vacation, if there are no accidents, I will probably stay in the old house. I need time to think about the memory we have experienced."
It took Amosta and Sirius more than twenty days to reach this sea area. Of course, the return journey does not have to be so complicated. They can use the door key to transfer to Old John's house, and then Amosta can phantom move with Sirius. Back to London.
The location they were currently in was within the magic range that protected Azkaban. The powerful magic here invalidated all teleportation magic. Amosta used magic to control the rotten ship that was completely unable to move on its own and slowly floated out of this place. A sea area.
Just like he expected before.
Although they broke through the barrier again and left, it caused some commotion, but compared with the earth-shattering situation when they broke in, it could only be regarded as gentle breeze and drizzle.
After he was completely freed from Azkaban, the last trace of gloom on Sirius' brow disappeared. He lay on the side of the ship enjoying the pleasant sea breeze, waiting for Amosta to get the door key from the cabin.
Suddenly, a snowy owl that was hovering high in the sky suddenly swooped down and cut a sharp shadow in mid-air. By the time Sirius realized that the bird might be coming towards him, the snowy owl had already pounced in front of him. , flapping his cheeks with flapping wings.
"Oh, don't be like this-"
Sirius staggered back a few steps. He frowned and looked at the snowy owl that had suffered a lot and was staring at him angrily, as if it was about to pounce on him and peck him hard at any moment. He carefully identified the owl. After the episode, he suddenly exclaimed,
"Come and look, Amosta! It's Harry's owl, and it seems to be named Hemingway!"
"It's Hedwig--"
Amosta, who walked out of the cabin with the door key, shook his head slightly after hearing this.
"What did I say!"
Sirius looked quite pleased with himself.
"Harry must have been impatient at the Muggle house. He couldn't wait for me to pick him up. Oh, speaking of which, this owl is really brave enough to find it here!"
For Sirius, the greatest happiness may be being needed by Harry.
He repeatedly comforted Hedwig. After getting the letter, he happily opened it in front of Amosta and read it eagerly. As the slightly childish handwriting on it jumped into his eyes one after another, the little boy Sirius' joyful expression gradually disappeared, and a hint of solemnity crept up on his eyebrows.
"Perhaps you should read this letter, Amosta."
Harry's owl also sent him a letter. Amosta was feeding Hedwig with small fish from the sea. After hearing Sirius say this, he turned his eyes and immediately realized that there was probably something wrong. Something bad happened.
"What's wrong?"
Amosta asked, taking the letter without hesitation and reading it at a glance.
"What do you think, Amosta?"
Sirius observed Amosta's expression and asked softly,
"Harry's scar is not an ordinary scar, right? Harry said the last time it hurt was when Voldemort was near him. It shouldn't be possible for Voldemort to appear near the Muggle family where Harry is staying, right? There's Dumbledore's It's protected by magic, he can't find Harry at all, can he--"
"Harry probably didn't tell everything."
Staring at the careful words on the paper, Amosta narrowed his eyes slightly. He suddenly remembered the conversation he had with Dumbledore before setting off this time, and he had to feel a little admiration.
Not long after Dumbledore warned him, something strange happened on Harry's side.
Putting down the letter, Amosta said calmly,
"Harry's scar is indeed unusual. It represents the secret connection between him and the wizard who gave him the scar. It does need to be treated with caution. Well, I will accompany you to Privet Drive. , ask Harry face to face if there is anything else that he has not explained clearly. Also, I suggest that you write a letter to Dumbledore and tell him about this--"
Phew!
Just then, another gray owl came from a distance and pounced directly on the ship. Like Hedwig, this owl's feathers were messy and it looked like it had been struggling in this sea area for some days.
The letter was addressed to Amosta, and it was from Cacus Foley.
"Sorry, Sirius--"
Opening the letter and scanning it twice, Amosta's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"You can only inquire about Harry's matters yourself. If you have any new information, write to me at any time. There is something I must investigate personally -"
