Hogwarts Homecoming

The black mud at the bottom of the lake is rich in nutrients, which makes the nearby aquatic plants grow very vigorously. According to the previous plan, some kaba and grindylow will be put into these large and tangled aquatic plants to test the warriors. Guts and mastery of offensive magic.

There are some stone dwellings around, speckled with algae. As we move forward, there are more and more stone dwellings, and some of them are surrounded by gardens.

This is a huge mermaid village. There are probably thousands of mermaids living in this huge area. Even late at night, there are many mermaids guarding the village. After seeing Amosta who broke into the village with bubbles, many mermaids He raised his spear and slapped the strong silver fish tail hard, approaching quickly.

But after they saw Amosta's face, which was distorted by the bubbles, these mermaids hid their spears and nodded respectfully to him.

"I'm here to check where the treasures taken away from the warriors are placed."

Amosta smiled and said,

"Just checking."

The mermaids started whispering, and a guy with a silver tail studded with golden scales swung his tail and swam up to Amosta. He spoke in a respectful and hoarse voice,

"I can take you there, Mr. Blaine."

"Oh, no need-"

Amosta shook his head.

"Just show me the way, I'm just taking a look."

When the request was rejected, the mermaid's face covered with iron-gray scales looked a little surprised. Its dark yellow eyes flashed, and then, as if it understood something, it opened its incomplete teeth and pointed at a person. direction,

"We all want Hogwarts to win, Mr. Blaine."

The mermaid said this, and then retreated into the same group.

Amosta smiled and nodded. He knew that these mermaids probably thought he came over to do something, but there was no need for him to take the initiative to explain.

There were many cages placed in the small square of the village. Many Kabbas and Grindylows were imprisoned in the cages. When these water monsters saw someone passing by above, they desperately hit the cages that restrained them, showing their ferocious red faces. They waved their claws at him, but after Amosta gave them a slightly indifferent look, these water monsters quickly stopped their hostility and huddled in their cages motionless.

A rough statue stands on a small square paved with cobblestones: a large mermaid carved from a boulder. Behind the mermaid's tail, four wooden pillars are placed at the bottom of the lake to bind the warriors' treasures.

Amosta landed in front of the wooden pillar and waved his wand neatly. Then, the bubbles surrounding him suddenly expanded, and the surrounding lake water was expelled by the bubbles, forming a space filled with air.

clatter--

Stepping on the wet cobblestone bottom of the lake, Amosta looked around with sharp eyes. Perhaps out of respect for him, no mermaid hid behind the rocks at the bottom of the lake to peek at him.

After confirming this, Amosta's eyes fell on the wooden pillar in front of him. There was no problem with the wooden pillar, but the problem was under the bottom of the lake.

According to the regulations, after selecting the treasures of the warriors, under the witness of Ministry of Magic officials, he will cast spells on several people to ensure that they are safe and sound at the bottom of the lake. After that, the mermaid will bring these people to this small square, And they are bound here waiting for rescue by warriors.

The wand was stirred, and with a rumbling sound, cracks began to appear at the bottom of the lake. The moist mud and sand poured out like spring water. The four wooden pillars also shook, but the wooden pillar closest to the side shook the most violently. Very quickly , was overturned by something hidden deeper in the lake bottom that popped up.

When the thing buried deep in the lake bottom emerged, Amosta stopped and the shaking at the bottom of the lake stopped.

altar.

Amosta's eyes were fixed on the altar, his expression unmoved.

It comes from the Druid religion and was previously placed by Cliona in the paradise in the Forbidden Forest. The ancestors of the Druid priests used it to divine the golden viper and its true identity.

Now it seems that it should have more than one magical use. When Vitiya transferred her deployment to the Forbidden Forest, she should also have used it. It is very magical. Both Amosta and Dumbledore noticed the violent Space fluctuations.

Looking at a fallen wooden pillar, Amosta pondered, probably knowing what she was doing.

He took a few steps back and quietly looked at the altar and the area it covered. After a long time, Amosta flicked his wand again to bury the altar deep into the ground. The wooden pillar that collapsed was also erected, but... Mosta slightly adjusted the gap between the four wooden pillars.

"So be it--"

Amosta said with a smile.

Remus and Sirius arrived faster than he thought. The next day, when the morning light faded and Amosta was still sleeping, the scratching sound coming from outside the office door woke him up from his sleep. Wake up.

The confusion faded from his opened eyes in an instant. Amosta quickly lifted the quilt and jumped out of bed to look out the door. After he recognized who it was, the vigilance in his eyes disappeared and he became lazy again. So proud.

Slowly walking over and opening the door, a big black dog was making funny scratching movements. After seeing Amosta staring at him displeased, the big black dog put down its paws and grinned coquettishly.

"The Disillusionment Charm is pretty good, Remus--"

Amosta glanced at the empty corridor behind the big black dog, smiled and nodded.

"Thanks--"

The air became distorted and blurry, and Remus appeared in front of Amosta with a smile on his face.

"The work enthusiasm of those goblins is simply terrifying. They especially love to hold meetings after get off work. I can only sneak away from them with the Disguise Charm, how about Amosta?"

Glancing at Sirius who was returning to his human form, Remus took a breath and followed Amosta into the office.

"I received your letter in the middle of the night, and then I immediately went to Grimmauld Place to find Sirius. He originally planned to leave for Hogwarts after lunch. After hearing that you needed help, we decided to set off immediately to find him. you."

Both of them had been regular visitors to this office. Without waiting for Amosta to greet them, Sirius and Remus walked to the sofa and found a seat to sit down.

With warmth in Amosta's eyes, he walked to the fireplace, took the kettle off the mantelpiece, and made tea for the two of them and for himself.

The drawer opened with a clang, and a box of snacks given by fans flew out and landed on the coffee table, and the hot tea cup also flew in front of the two of them.

"I guess you guys didn't have time to have breakfast," Amosta said with a smile, "Let's eat something first."

Sirius blinked in confusion. He thought Amosta had encountered some serious trouble, so he didn't dare to waste any time after receiving the letter and immediately apparated to Hogwarts, but it seemed that Amosta Mosta's leisurely and comfortable posture seems to be nothing urgent?

Sirius was about to ask questions, but after Remus thanked him, he started to enjoy Amosta's treasured snacks with hot tea. Seeing this, Sirius shrugged and took the time to fill his empty stomach.

Amosta did not create any sense of urgency. He remained patient and waited with a smile. It was not until the two of them had devoured most of the box of snacks that he looked at Remus and asked in a calm tone,

"You said in your letter that we have received a response to our entry application to MACUSA, Remus?"

"That's true."

Remus cleared his throat, nodded and said,

"But the MACUSA has put forward conditions, Amosta, I don't know. I can't be arbitrary. I have to talk to you before I can make a formal reply."

"What conditions?" Amosta asked curiously.

"They agreed to our application and agreed to my and your entry application time, just after Easter, but -"

Remus pursed his lips and looked at Amosta with slightly worried eyes.

"They require you to hand over your wand when entering the country, and you are not allowed to have a wand while you are in the country until you leave."
