Homecoming from Hogwarts

When Harry and Hermione followed the three professors out of the ward, they found that the school hospital had been blocked.

Their roommates, Ron's brothers and sisters, and some classmates from the college were standing at the door, looking inside hesitantly.

"Professor Dumbledore, Professor Brainiac, Professor McGonagall"

Seeing several people leaving the ward, Neville asked hesitantly,
"Ron and Lavender."

Harry noticed Ginny was looking at him, so he lowered his head in shame.

"Poppy?"

Dumbledore looked at Madam Pomfrey, his tone and eyes expressing his request just right.

"All right--"

Madam Pomfrey sighed and looked at the remaining three Weasley children.
"You three can go in and take a look, but you're only allowed to stay for five minutes!"

Professor McGonagall glanced at the rest of the Gryffindor students with her intimidating gaze, and they immediately "fled for cover".

By the time they went down to the auditorium, the meal had already ended. Only a few students were left in the huge auditorium, sitting at the long table and chatting.

They watched curiously as Professor Blaine and his companions crossed the entrance hall and disappeared into the entrance of the Slytherin basement.

Du, du, du—
Amosta knocked on the door of Severus' office. After getting permission, he pushed the door open and walked in first.

After Harry squeezed into Snape's narrow and cold office, he found him standing at a square table in the middle of the office, holding a small scale and weighing the corpses of some dried insects, as if preparing for teaching.

Seeing so many people walking into his office one after another, Severus immediately realized that something might have happened.

Especially after seeing Harry looking around, his sinister eyes were visibly directed at Amosta.

"Are we disturbing you, Severus?"

Amosta asked in a brisk tone, walking over and naturally resting his butt on the edge of the square table.

At this point, there's no need to say more of these common greetings!

Hermione pursed her lips and a few dark lines appeared on her forehead.

Severus obviously held the same opinion as Hermione. He ignored Amosta's greeting and said nothing, his cold eyes directed at Dumbledore again.

"Amosta's office has been opened, Severus—"

Dumbledore said calmly,

"Miss Granger and Mr Potter also suffered misfortune in their dormitories, both of whom lost their belongings.
Ah, Mr. Ron Weasley and Miss Lavender Brown were found collapsed in Amos Tower's office, Severus, but they don't look like thieves, but rather like they were injured defending Amos Tower's office -"

Amosta nodded slightly,

"There were no signs of a struggle in the office. In my opinion, the murderer should have entered my office by the time they arrived. Ron and Weasley were attacked there. Um--"

After thinking for a while, Amosita pointed at Harry and Hermione.
"Harry believes that Draco did all this, including the last time he tried to enter my office. So, we think it is necessary for Draco to come over and prove his innocence--"

From the twisted corner of Snape's mouth, Harry knew that the Potions professor instinctively wanted to ridicule him, but perhaps because Professor Dumbledore and Professor Braine were present, or perhaps because he had something more urgent to know, in the end, he did not do so.

"What have you lost, Amosta?"

Severus' dark eyes reflected Amosita's face.

"Vitia Cleona's wand--"

Amosta didn't keep the secret.

"Harry lost a dagger that Sirius had given him that could break defensive magic, and Hermione lost a vial of Felicis that Horace had given her—"

The logical relationship here was not difficult to understand, and Severus understood it immediately.

"A small toy dagger and Felicis"

Severus looked at Amosta grimly.

"You opened your office door, didn't you?" "That possibility cannot be ruled out."

Amosta said frankly.

Dumbledore suddenly became interested in the dried Billywig worms on the table. He shook his sleeves, revealing his old hands. He crushed a little powder and put it into his mouth to taste it with interest. But no one noticed this except Hermione.

"Where's your surveillance camera, Amosta?"

Severus pursed his thin lips.

"What did it see?"

Surveillance mirror!
Harry and Hermione both came back to their senses and looked at Professor Brainiac excitedly.

From what Snape said, it seems that Professor Blaine arranged this in his office!
“I’m sorry—”

Amosta spread out his hands,
"The magic magnetic field of Hogwarts is too strong. The surveillance camera here will damage the internal magic corridor every once in a while and need maintenance. I was outside for a while and forgot about this."

Damn!

Harry was filled with hatred, he almost caught Malfoy's flaw!

Snape seemed to be very angry about Professor Brain's unreliability. He glared coldly at Amosta and Dumbledore, who was standing aside and seemed to be just witnessing an outcome.

"I'm going to find Draco--"

After saying this, Severus hurriedly left the office.

"Please sit down. There's no need for us to stand here stupidly—"

Amosta walked around to the only desk in the office as if he knew the place well, and sat down behind it. He spoke to Harry and Hermione with a gentle expression.

Professor Dumbledore pulled out his wand just in time and conjured up a few chairs.

"Professor Blaine—"

After a few minutes of silence in the dark office, Hermione looked at Professor Blaine, who was looking through the little wizard's after-school paper. She suppressed the strange feeling of disobedience in her heart and asked anxiously,

"That staff. If, if the staff of Vitia Cleona is really lost, what consequences will it have, Professor?"

The image of the pale man lying on the hospital bed suddenly disappeared from Harry's mind, and he looked at the person behind the desk with wide eyes.

"Well, it will indeed have some impact--"

Professor Brain twirled his thumbs, leaned back in his chair, and looked up at the dim ceiling. Neither Harry nor Hermione could see his expression.

“You all saw the fight between Cliona and I. Most of the power of the spells she cast came from that staff.

If the wand falls into her hands again, Voldemort will undoubtedly get a powerful boost."

Harry clenched his fists and his eyes flashed.

That’s right, they are all correct!
Therefore, Voldemort developed Malfoy into a Death Eater not because he needed an underage wizard minion, but because he wanted to restore the strength of his most capable assistant!
Indeed, even with that staff, Vitia Cliona was no match for Professor Brian.

But to other wizards who resisted Voldemort, the strength displayed by Cliona was overwhelming!

must!

We must stop Cliona from getting the staff back!
There’s still time.

Even if Malfoy got the wand, he wouldn't have the time to send him out of Hogwarts!

"No suspicious persons have entered the Gryffindor common room today—"

Professor McGonagall came in breathlessly, and what she said not only made Harry and Hermione look suspicious, but she herself was also a little confused.

"The Fat Lady told me that she remembered Mr. Weasley and Miss Brown walking out of the common room in the morning, returning to the common room once in the morning and then leaving again quickly, and then never coming back again." (End of this chapter)
