Homecoming from Hogwarts

"Are you planning to go back, Amelia?"

When Amelia and Sirius, who had turned into a big black dog, walked out of Amosta's room and walked towards the elevator with hurried steps, Errel, who had just blocked them when they came in, appeared in time between them. In front of others, his already upturned eyebrows were raised high.

"You came here just to have a late-night snack with Blaine?"

"This has nothing to do with you, Ariel—"

Amelia now had a great hatred for these people in the Security Department, she said with a cold face.

Errel shrugged his shoulders. He glanced at the closed door of the room where Brian was staying as if nothing had happened, suspicion and hesitation flashed in his eyes.

"If you're worried about Amosta sneaking away, why don't you go in and check, Eriel?"

Amelia accurately captured the emotions in Ariel's eyes, and she said without mercy.

"Oh--"

Ariel's face was moved for a moment, but then a bitter smile appeared on his lips and he shook his head slightly.

"I think we'd better not offend Mr. Blaine again."

Amelia turned her face away, bypassed Ariel's trial, and strode towards the elevator. Sirius bared his teeth at Ariel and followed quickly.

One person and one dog quickly left the World Trade Center. After a while, they ran into a washed sycamore forest. After confirming that they were not being followed by Aurors, Sirius returned to his human form.

As the most profound human transformation technique, Animagus has not many wizards who master it in every magical civilization. Before meeting Sirius, Amelia had never met a wizard who mastered this transformation technique. Woolen cloth. She stared curiously at Sirius, who had returned to his human form, and suddenly blinked and said,
"Did you use the Animagus to escape from Azkaban?"

"Yes, that's it-"

The intelligence of this little girl who didn't know what kind of messy relationship she had with Amosta surprised Sirius. He looked at her with admiration.
"Those dementors couldn't be identified very well, which gave me an opportunity to take advantage of. Of course, this trick no longer works, because Azkaban now has other screening measures, so--"

Sirius took out the fang Amosta gave him from his pocket and held it in his palm. The tip of the floating fang trembled slightly, but always pointed in one direction.

Sirius raised his head, looked directly at the scattered buildings in the direction pointed by his fangs and squinted his eyes, and then said concisely,

"Use a broomstick. This is the most appropriate. I think American Aurors should have received training on using broomsticks for tracking before taking up their duties, right?"

"Oh--"

Amelia's cheeks turned red and she hesitated,
"Sorry. I--I don't have any special training, and I'm, um, not very good at broomsticks."

"Okay, I can give you a ride."

Sirius said nonchalantly, he took out a Nimbus 2001 from his carry-on bag, stepped on it and waved to Amelia,

"Come up here. You can help us cast the Disillusionment Charm to avoid being discovered by Muggles."

Amelia hummed softly, then raised her wand and tapped Sirius' shoulder - and after doing the same to herself, she stepped onto the broom.

Although he is not as gifted in flying broomsticks as Harry and James, Sirius's flying skills are equally top-notch. When he saw his toes tapping the ground, the scenes on both sides suddenly blurred in Amelia's eyes. In an instant, Two people had appeared hundreds of feet in the air.

Glancing at the void at her feet, Amelia's face suddenly turned pale. She screamed uncontrollably and grabbed Sirius' robe that was blown by the wind. But before she could calm down, in order to avoid the front On a high-rise building, Sirius, who held his fangs in one hand and controlled the broom handle with one hand, suddenly turned in the direction.

The strong swing made Amelia scream again, and she tightly hugged Sirius' waist!
"Are you OK!"

Amidst the rumbling wind and howling, Sirius shouted loudly without looking back.

"I"

Holding back the feeling of vomiting, Amelia tried her best not to look at the building speeding around her, her voice was high-pitched,
"I can handle it."

"That's good!"

Sirius shouted, and then made a sharp dive to avoid the sightseeing corridor connecting the two buildings.

The sudden feeling of weightlessness made Amelia almost faint, but Sirius's solemn voice startled her.
"We're almost there!"

Coming? ! Amelia's eyes flashed with surprise. It had been less than two minutes since she and Sirius had been tracking her. She thought that the vampire who stole the fangs would apparate to a far away place, but she didn't expect that he was actually nearby. .

Sirius controlled the broomstick and landed on the roof of a fast food restaurant. He carefully felt the feeling transmitted to him by the fangs and confirmed that the vampire who poisoned them was in the building in front of them. He was about to fly out of the sky When he got off the broom, he found that the young girl behind him was still holding her waist tightly.

"Ahem, we're here—"

Sirius coughed loudly, embarrassment flashing in his gray eyes.

There was a brief silence, Amelia neither spoke nor let go of Sirius' waist, but stared at the building in front of her with a look of disbelief.

"Ahem, Amelia?"

Sirius couldn't see the expression of Amelia behind him. When he saw that the girl was still holding his waist, the unnatural look in his eyes became more intense.

"Oh, sorry--"

Amelia came back to her senses. She quickly let go of Sirius and jumped off the broomstick. She still looked at the building in front of her in shock.
"How could it be? But how is this possible?"

Sirius stared at the fangs in his palm and felt them carefully. After a moment, he raised his head and looked at Amelia,

"I can confirm that the fang Amosta gave me does point here. The vampire who poisoned us is in this building. You seem surprised, Amelia?"

Amelia blinked hard and stared blankly at the brightly lit building, with confusion in her voice.

"But...this is the Woolworth Building, the seat of the Magical Congress of the United States of America?"

Hearing this, Sirius' eyebrows froze and he immediately realized the problem.

Last night, an employee of the Magic Congress of the United States was murdered inside the building, and Amosta's wand was lost as a result. It is conceivable that the security level of the Magic Congress Building tonight must have been raised to the highest level. How could this vampire dare to break in? He What methods were used to ignore those security measures?

"Let's go in and take a look."

Sirius said in a solemn voice as he put away his broomstick and turned into the black dog again.

"Dylan?"

Amelia rushed towards the building almost at running speed. She walked into the door shared by Muggles and wizards, and looked at an old wizard sleeping behind the revolving door with a newspaper covering his face.
"Who went in just now before me?"

The old wizard seemed to be sleeping soundly, but after Amelia asked the question, he did not take off the newspaper from his face and spoke in a vague voice.

"Your immediate boss, Amelia——"

"Graves?"

Amelia screamed, but Dylan seemed to have really fallen asleep and didn't answer the question again.

"Hey, watch your dog, little girl, he looks dangerous!"

Behind the revolving door, several wizards were holding speculums and honesty probes, staring at Amelia with a blank look on their faces, because the overly big dog just now bared its teeth and looked like it was about to bite when they were about to examine it. After they retreated in fright, they immediately jumped into the building and squatted in the lobby waiting for Amelia.

"Oh, sorry--"

Amelia called out,
"I was just distracted. I didn't expect Mr. Graves to come back to work so late at night."

"Oh, who knows?"

A wizard with curly chestnut hair listlessly scanned Amelia's body with a probe.
"Probably here to check if we are lazy, okay, come in quickly--"

The vampire disguised himself as Graves and swaggered into the Magical Congress of the United States. Amelia couldn't help but think so, but she glanced at the looking glass hanging above her head and didn't understand how the vampire avoided the alarm. measures.

downstairs--
Amelia rushed to Sirius who was squatting there. Before she could ask where the vampire was, Sirius raised his forefoot and pointed at the ground with a sharp nail.
