Tonight is the second time Amosta has entered Dumbledore's office since the night after Christmas when he entered Hogwarts. It's not that Amosta is afraid of the greatest White Devil of our time. , but as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves missing you.
Amosta has not forgotten how Dumbledore kept an eye on him in the following days after he had a fight with the black witch in the Forbidden Forest in fifth grade.
The circular office has not changed much from when I visited more than a month ago, except that the phoenix, which was still a little fledgling when we last met, has now entered the form of a young man, with brilliant golden-red hair all over his body. At this moment, it was squatting in the brazier, hiding its head under its wings and sleeping soundly. Even the footsteps of Amosta passing by could not wake it up.
Dumbledore seemed to be replying to someone. When he saw the slightly tired Amosta walking in, the gleam in his blue eyes was much gentler than when they first met. .
"Good evening, Principal Dumbledore, I hope I haven't disturbed you," Amosta nodded, "I heard from Professor Snape that you seem to have something to discuss with me. "
"Ah, that's true,"
Dumbledore asked him to sit down with a smile on his face, but there was some blame in his tone, "It's a pity, Amosta, I’m afraid I won’t be able to serve you any decent wine this time, and considering your mental state, I don’t think you are suitable for drinking alcoholic beverages.”
Amosta smiled but said nothing. He could see that the old man was holding something bad in his heart.
There was nothing new in his pleasantries. Dumbledore had been treating him day and night for many days. He came out, expressed his heartfelt thanks for his noble behavior of trying his best to protect the safety of the little wizards, and implicitly expressed concerns about his current physical condition, and asked Amosta if he needed to rest for a while.
Let me rest. Could it be that something unknown happened that made Dumbledore decide to kick himself out of school early?
"Thank you very much for your concern, Principal Dumbledore ," Amosta was cautious and did not want to say a word.
"Catching the murderer of the attack is a task assigned to me by the school board. I must be responsible for my work and the little wizards. I will not leave my post without permission before the murderer surfaces."
"Oh, it's such a noble sense of responsibility. The safety of the little wizards is indeed important, but Amo. Star, your health is also what I care about." Dumbledore seemed to be touched by Amosta's reply. He blew his nose, took off his glasses and wiped the moisture in them,
"Severus and Minerva have mentioned to me several times that they have expressed their concerns about your overly dedicated work style. They both hope that you will be less nervous, even if the new attack occurs." "Well, that's not your responsibility."
Amosta frowned, a little confused, and Dumbledore turned his head.I called you here just to express my gratitude
"Especially Minerva, she thinks that without more clues, instead of letting you spend a lot of time looking for the attacker, it is better to, cough Well, she told me that she mentioned it to you once during the Christmas vacation. Oh, I feel really ashamed when I talk about this. She seemed to think that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor I hired was not that qualified and was delaying the little wizards. "Study"
As expected, Dumbledore was holding back his bad words
Dumbledore frowned in distress and stopped talking. Amosta raised his eyebrows high and kept talking at the corners of his mouth. Twitching and not replying immediately.
Awkward and suffocating silence suddenly fell. In the office, only Dumbledore’s unclear alchemy tools jingled like wind chimes.
"Let me ask you a question first, Principal Dumbledore"
After a while, Amosta was the first to break the embarrassing silence, "If I refuse you If asked, you wouldn’t arrest him and send him to a place like Nurmengard or Azkaban.”
“Oh, of course not, Amosta,”< /p>
Dumbledore chuckled, "This is entirely my fault, Amosta, I'm here to ask for your help. Actually, hey, sometimes I really wish someone could help me." In terms of my difficulty, finding a qualified Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is much harder than finding out the twelve uses of dragon's blood."
Amosta pursed her lips. There was no unnecessary emotion on his face,
"There has been an unconfirmed rumor about the professor of this course, Principal Dumbledore"
"I can't deceive You, Amosta,"
Dumbledore's expression became solemn, he nodded and said, "Although there is no direct evidence, since I rejected Voldemort's application for this teaching position, there is indeed no A professor can stay in this position for more than a year."
Amosta sat calmly, not in a hurry to express his opinion.
"However, there are two Defense Against the Dark Arts professors in the school at the same time, and when they only teach for a few months, I think the risk is controllable"
You If you think the risk is controllable, then why don't you teach Amosta secretly, rolling his eyes and thinking silently.
"I can pay you for a whole year, Amosta, if you are willing to help those children with great future."
Dumbledore's tone Be sincere and follow the guidance.
In the office, Amosta sat in his seat and meditated. Regarding the request made by Dumbledore just now, he neither agreed nor objected, but just said that he would think about it carefully.
The Dark Lord put a curse on this position, and the power of the curse was so strong that it has not weakened for decades, and even Dumbledore was unable to do anything about it. It is conceivable that the Dark Lord spent a lot of money back then. A lot of effort.
According to Amosta's thoughts during the Christmas vacation, he would definitely not accept this risky job.
As for why he didn’t refuse immediately now, it was because Amosta had new considerations.
Before receiving this assignment and entering Hogwarts, Amosta subconsciously thought that this assignment would only take a few months to solve, otherwise, the secret room case would be solved. It will interfere with the adventures that the great savior Harry Potter will go through next school year.
However, this may not be the case.
Because of his intervention, the plot of the original book must have changed a lot, and this means that the originally destined ending has actually changed.
If the heir is really a very cautious person, then he does not have to touch Amosta's bad luck.
If the heir decides to be more patient than Amosta, Amosta, who is passively waiting for clues, is almost destined to fail in this protracted battle, because Amosta cannot This will stay in school for the rest of your life.
In this case, the information already possessed by Porter's team is very important. As long as he can find a key clue, Amosta is confident that he can follow the clues and find the secret room before everyone else.
How to further gain Porter's trust? Amosta has also thought about this problem, and the result of his thinking is that if he is always labeled as an investigator, then it may be difficult for him. Break through the psychological defenses of Porter and his two friends.
But if you change your identity, for example, becoming a professor, it might be easier. At the very least, frequent exposure to opportunities will make your relationship with them more friendly.
"Then"
After making up his mind, Amosta took a deep breath.
He waved his wand to clean up the messy desk,
