Homecoming from Hogwarts

Harry's story was over, but there was still one crucial point left unsaid.

That was the end of Barty Crouch Jr. He died in the hands of Professor Brain. But if this is said, it must be explained why Professor Brain appeared there.

Both Remus and Sirius turned to Amosta intentionally or unintentionally. They knew that he had intervened in the game in the form of Fleur's sister. He saw everything that Harry saw, but throughout the narration, Amosta He did nothing and ignored Voldemort's resurrection!
There must be some key information that has not been disclosed.

But in the current situation, they were not sure whether it was appropriate to ask.

"As you can see, Fudge and Magic's attitude—"

In the public ward where the drop of a needle could be heard, Dumbledore spoke again,

"Although we had anticipated this, the inaction of the Ministry of Magic has undoubtedly changed the entire situation. We cannot sit back and wait for death. We must take a preemptive strike to curb Voldemort's behavior, Minerva--"

Dumbledore's eyes were intense. He first looked at Professor McGonagall.
"Can you please go to Hagrid's place and ask him to wait for me in my office? I have something for him to do."

Professor McGonagall glanced at Harry, Ron and Hermione on the hospital bed, then nodded and walked away with hasty steps.

"Sirius, I need you to leave immediately. You go inform Arabella Figg, Mungdens Fletcher - those old seniors, you can take them to your ancestral home first, and then I will go there Talk to them personally.”

Sirius glanced at Amosta, hoping that he could first clarify the things he was confused about from Amosta's mouth.

"You go ahead, Sirius. We will talk later when the time is right."

Amosta said.

Sirius nodded, and he looked at Harry a little reluctantly. At this time, he preferred to be with his godson, and Harry had the same thought hidden in his eyes.

"I'll be back soon-"

But the war is imminent, and early preparation means fewer sacrifices. Sirius knows which is more important.

He also planned to leave, but as soon as he took the step, he retracted, hesitating.

"What about the Longbottoms?"

At this moment, the school hospital seemed to be a command post on the battlefield. Dumbledore was giving orders to everyone. The tense and solemn atmosphere infected everyone. Hermione, who was squatting on the hospital bed, listened carefully to Dumbledore's orders and instinctively tried to Analyzing what he wanted to do, when she heard the names of the Longbottoms, she trembled and blinked.

This was really an unfortunate thing. They had been confused for more than ten years due to fighting Voldemort, and they finally regained consciousness, only to encounter Voldemort's return.

Hermione thought Dumbledore would avoid the Longbottoms. They had already made such a big sacrifice, but——
"You bring the news to Frank and Alice, and let them make their own decision. In addition, I also hope that you inform Arthur and Kingsley. They are well-informed and will get the news sooner or later. Some people in the ministry you think are reliable , can all be absorbed—"

This was not an easy task, and Sirius would definitely have a difficult time in the ministry in the future, but he just nodded lightly, turned around and left without complaining.

Harry felt strange. He thought that Dumbledore would also give Remus some orders, and Dumbledore did indeed intend to do so. But when he looked at Remus, he obviously hesitated, and then looked past him. , pointed at Professor Snape,

"Severus,"

Dumbledore said softly,
"You know what I'm going to tell you to do, if you're okay with it. If you're ready."

"No problem," Snape said.

His face looked paler than usual, and there was a strange light in his cold black eyes. He didn't stay much longer, facing outside, ready to follow Sirius, but he was grabbed by someone. It was Professor Blaine.

The coldness that washed over the public ward for a moment made Harry, Ron and Hermione hold their breath subconsciously.

Dumbledore didn't seem too surprised. He just moved his beard helplessly, while Snape was also calm.

"Ready to sacrifice everything, Headmaster Dumbledore?"

Amosta looked at Dumbledore. The cold and sarcastic smile on his lips was very similar to when Snape killed Harry. Dumbledore lowered his eyes,

"The only person I wish and have the right to sacrifice is myself, Amosta, and besides that, I don't wish to see any of our people die."

Amosta was about to say something, but Professor Snape was one step ahead of him. He looked at the young man in front of him who once needed his protection, but had inadvertently grown into a towering tree. The corners of his mouth moved, revealing The warmth almost made Harry think he was hallucinating.

"This is my choice, Amosta."

"your choice?"

Amosta's eyes were calm and determined. He looked at Dumbledore.
"With all due respect, I don't see the necessity of this choice. Dumbledore, your method is to gather a group of noble people to compete with Voldemort, but with all due respect, this is undoubtedly what the enemy is good at. Competing with them is thankless. In my opinion, the Ministry of Magic should be in the forefront. This is what they should do. "

"But you've seen Connelly's attitude, haven't you, Amosta?"

Dumbledore said tiredly.

"Then let him step down."

Amosta said coldly,

"War means sacrifice, and it is the Ministry of Magic, not the Order of the Phoenix, that should bear this responsibility."

"It's dangerous to try to manipulate politics, Amosta."

Although he did not want to see a dispute with Amosta happen, Dumbledore also refused to give in. "Especially at a moment like this, your ideas will make the entire magical world more quickly involved in the vortex of war."

"War is never an accident. It is never an accident that people like Dumbledore and Voldemort appear and become big. This shows that today's British wizarding world needs war. The conflict between pure-blood families and mixed-blood and Muggle-born wizards The contradictions are becoming increasingly acute, and the entire social system is in urgent need of reform. If this is ignored, even if this Voldemort is finished, the next Voldemort will appear sooner or later. "

Harry listened to the argument between Professor Dumbledore and Professor Blaine, and the tense atmosphere simply made his heart tremble. Hermione looked at Professor Blaine infatuatedly, her brown eyes glowing with brilliance. She could understand him. What on earth was the professor talking about? In her heart, she recognized Professor Blaine's view more.

Ron's heart was also pounding. But unlike Harry, he had a faint panic. This panic seemed to come from the blood. What was going on? Professor Blaine had to do something to a pure-blood family?
Although Ron had never been proud of his pure-blood identity, he still felt a little uneasy and scared when he heard all this.

"I have to do this, Amosta--"

Snape interrupted the argument between the two, and held Amosta's wrist tightly with his backhand.

"You know why. This is my salvation. This is the only thing left to me alive."

There was a long silence, Amosta and Severus looked at each other, Amosta's expression was ugly, he didn't want Severus to do such a thankless thing at all.

"Here is a letter—"

Amosta took out the letter from his pocket and handed it to Severus. After the latter saw it again, he gasped in obvious shock. Then Severus handed the letter to Dumbledore. Mosta didn't stop.

Dumbledore also raised his eyebrows. He returned the letter to Amosta in silence, but did not express any opinion.

"This is indeed surprising, Amostar -" Snape said softly, "but you know very well that you cannot completely trust him. He will change his position at any time."

Severus left anyway, as he said, it was his choice.

Since he didn't change Amosta's decision to step into the quagmire, then Amosta couldn't change Severus's decision.
