Homecoming from Hogwarts

Chapter 1306 This Night Will Be Long (Part )
Amelia, who had just spoken righteously about Amosta, blushed visibly on her fair cheeks when she mentioned Sirius.

She left Amosta's arms, wrung her hands, looked away,

"You, um, what do you think about this?"

To be honest, Amosta did have a strange feeling.

Sirius was undoubtedly his loyal friend, and Amelia -
To be honest, from the perspective of blood relationship, Amelia is his elder, but from a psychological and emotional point of view, he prefers to regard Amelia as his sister.

"The key to the problem is your attitude, Amelia--"

Amosta shook his head.

"What do you think of Sirius?"

"He's a very brave wizard—"

Amelia was silent for a long time because of Amosta's question. Finally, she bit her lip and said with a bit of girlish shyness.
"He was willing to spend thirteen years in Azkaban to make up for his mistakes. Mrs. Weasley said he was a bit stubborn, but not all wizards have that courage."

Amelia's voice was as thin as a mosquito.
“I think it’s a sign of responsibility.”

"I am more inclined to agree with Mrs. Weasley—"

Amosta laughed, before Amelia could defend Sirius,
"But you are right, Amelia, he is indeed very brave and responsible, and a wizard worthy of entrusting your life to.

Of course, sometimes he can be impulsive, so you need to restrain his behavior at the appropriate time."

"so--"

Amelia was surprised by Amosta's judgment. She stared at Amosta with her clear brown eyes wide open.

"You have no objection?"

"You're acting like I'm an old fogey, Amelia—"

Amosta frowned in dissatisfaction, but then he smiled and patted Amelia's shoulder.

"You are a wise witch, Amelia, you know that your choice is right, and all I can do is wish you happiness—"

Amelia left satisfied.

She and Sirius discussed for a long time how to tell Amosta about this matter, but the two people who had always been decisive in making decisions were a little timid on this issue.

The moon was just about to reach its highest point in the night sky.

By now, I'm afraid both Paris and the British Ministry of Magic are bustling with activity.

However, out of consideration for Remus and Tonks, the newlyweds who are about to enter the wedding hall, the news has not been conveyed here for the time being.

"What are you thinking?"

Before anyone arrived, Amosta smelled a faint and elegant fragrance.

He turned his head and saw Furong holding a tray and walking towards him with graceful steps.

Amosta just smiled slightly and did not answer. He looked at the tray in Furong's hand, which was filled with a plate of snacks and two antique teacups.

"Ah, did you bring this back from Asia?"

Amosta raised his eyebrows.

Furong pouted her lips playfully.

"I've always felt that your taste in tea isn't like that of a traditional Londoner. Only after arriving there did I realize that it's more like an Oriental style?"

Furong stared at Amosta with blinking eyes.

"After graduating from Hogwarts, I have visited many countries where magical civilizations flourished."

Amosta smiled and gave a reasonable explanation.

"Oh, then please appreciate my cooking, Amosta——"

Fleur smiled back.

The light from the stars in the sky gathers into a brilliant Milky Way, flowing quietly across the night sky.

Amosta and Furong were chatting quietly as they bathed in the moonlight that was tinged with a hint of red.

After many setbacks, Furong, who already knew how to get along better with Amosta, told Amosta about her experience of the customs and culture of that oriental country during her two months in Asia.

She found that Amosta seemed very interested in this, so she explained it in detail. Amosta listened patiently and pointed out some mistakes from time to time, which surprised Furong.
"I didn't expect you to know so much about that country and the lives of the people there, Amosta--"

"I've been there longer than you think--"

Amosta said with some mystery.

The two chatted about many topics until the snacks on the tray and the tea in the teapot were emptied.

It's like a cycle.

When Fleur returned to the house with the empty tray, Remus came over again, looking tired.
"Tonks is already asleep."

He smiled at Amosta,

"After becoming pregnant, Tonks obviously didn't have as much energy as before."

"Then you can go and rest, Remus--"

Amosta withdrew his gaze from the starry sky and said gently,

"Don't worry, I'm here, nothing will happen--"

"Oh, of course, I don't doubt it, but——"

Remus smiled bitterly.

"I can't sleep because there are so many things to think about.
Oh, it's not just about my family's safety, I also don't know how to be a good husband or a good father.
I've been thinking about what James did recently, and I even wondered if Tonks and I decided to get married. Of course, I don't regret it, but was it a bit too hasty--"

Remus, who always pretended to be calm in front of his wife, would only talk about these things to Amosta, not even to Sirius, because Sirius's personality was not suitable for listening to these.

"Don't worry too much, Remus, I think you'll be a good husband and father--"

Amosta gave Remus a sympathetic smile.
"You know how important a happy and complete family is to a person, so you will do your best to do your best."

Amosta's words touched Remus' memories, and he looked up at the mysterious night sky with a little melancholy.

After a long time, Remus came back to his senses. He looked at Amosta from the side and saw a pair of purple eyes on that young face that seemed as deep and unfathomable as the starry sky in front of them.

"Speaking of -"

Remus smiled suddenly.
"What are your plans for the future, Amosta, succeeding Albus as the Headmaster of Hogwarts. Of course, many people think that you would be more successful as Minister of Magic."

"To be honest, I don't really like being tired of paperwork, so it's more suitable for me to continue staying in Hogwarts. Oh, if I feel that life is boring, I can occasionally continue to go out for a stroll as the Golden Viper--"

"Ah, the golden viper."

Remus was in the mood.
"I almost let it slip when I was talking to Tonks last time about your years back at Hogwarts. Can I share this with Tonks? I promise she won't tell anyone!"

Amosta frowned when he heard this and glanced at Remus with an ominous look.

What a joke!
If the couple talked about this, then Remus would know that he had beaten his wife as the Viper.
When faced with major changes in life, people always recall the past.

Amosta and Remus chatted for a long time in the Tonks' garden, until the bright stars dimmed and the setting moonlight became gentle -
"I need to leave for a moment, Remus—"

In the midst of the conversation, Amosta suddenly said something that surprised Limeston.

"you want."

boom!
Brilliant flames exploded above their heads, illuminating the darkened yard.

Fox emerged from the flames, spread his wings, flew low, circled, and finally landed on Amosta's shoulder, rubbing his earlobe with his hard beak for a while.

"What's going on, Amosta, what happened outside, why did Fox suddenly appear!?"

Remus was horrified.

"don’t worry--"

Amosta smiled and said,
"It's almost done, but I have to go back to Hogwarts to take care of some things. Don't worry. I should be able to make it to your wedding tomorrow--"

Glancing at the two thick dark circles under Remus' eyes,
"I think you should get some rest before the guests arrive, Remus. I'll see you at noon then—"

There was a crisp bang, and under Remus' worried gaze, Amosta and Fox disappeared into the yard.

And in the sky, the dawn is about to rise.
