Amosa understood what Professor McGonagall was worried about, and instead of replying immediately, he pondered quietly before he raised his head and calmly met Professor McGonagall's stern scrutiny.

"It's a matter of trade-offs, professor."

Professor McGonagall's lips twitched, she couldn't have imagined what Amosta would say.

"Trade-offs,"

Amosta continued, "We all know what kind of crisis Hogwarts is facing, Professor McGonagall, we don't want to see it end like that, but if the current bad situation can't always be alleviated..., even,"

Amosta was about to catch the flickering flicker in Professor McGonagall's eagle-like eyes, and he said calmly,

"With the Slytherin Vault heir not yet exposed, the petrification of the two young wizards will not be the end of this series of events, and there will be someone else attacked, Professor McGonagall, can you guarantee that it will only be petrified?"

Professor McGonagall's eyes twitched a few times, and her breathing became heavy.

"Although the reality is bloody and cruel, it must be faced, because escaping will not solve anything." Amosta said sensibly,

"I don't know why the lurking man didn't kill Colin Creevey and Justin Finchley..., maybe he was just enjoying the thrill of creating fear and didn't want to take the life of a young wizard, but, Professor McGonagall, do you want to put your hopes in the mercy of the enemy?"

"I understand, Amosta--"

At the mention of the word 'kill', Professor McGonagall's thin body shook, she blew her nose, and the hard shell began to disintegrate,

"Dumbledore didn't say anything, but I can tell he's worried about the situation you're talking about, but, Amosta, we're not the Ministry of Magic, and we don't have the right to go..."

"The right to be free is nothing before a noble life."

Amosta raised her voice and brutally interrupted Professor McGonagall,

"I understand what the school is worried about, and yes, I can imagine how Hogwarts would face if the young wizards, their families, or public opinion knew that Hogwarts was monitoring the young wizards' every move."

Amosta also showed a strong side of his character, and he said categorically,

But I don't think it matters if our initiatives can save... Even if it only saves a child's life, it is worth it no matter how much skepticism the school bears! ”

Professor McGonagall was silent, tormented in her heart, the ideas she had always adhered to and her sober sanity struggling fiercely in her mind.

"If I had gone according to my original thoughts, Professor McGonagall"

Amosta rubbed his stomach, he was a little hungry.

"Gather all the people in the school in the Great Hall, use the Receptive Mind or Truth Elixir in the foyer one by one, and go to the courtyard if it's all right, and maybe it won't take a day for us to finish the matter!"

"Absolutely not!"

Professor McGonagall woke up in shock, frightened by Amosta's bottomless plan, and she immediately sternly refused.

"It's a serious violation of the law, Amosta, and if we do, we may not be able to wait for the heir to make another move, and Hogwarts will have to close!"

Amosta shrugged his shoulders and looked innocent, "It's just an idea, Professor, and I'm not going to actually implement it." ”

Professor McGonagall was finally convinced, this was a matter of necessity, unless she could come up with an effective plan for the next semester, and there were countless corridors, towers, and courtyards in Hogwarts Castle, which could not be done by the professors, prefects, and student councils of the school to increase patrols.

And, who said that prefects and professors would not be attacked?

If you really encounter that kind of situation, needless to say, the little wizard will not need to be said, and there are few people in the school who can have enough strength to deal with the danger.

"Try to keep it a secret, Amosta, some of the little wizards," Professor McGonagall said, "especially the Gryffindor House... Loves adventure. ”

Amosta replied, and Professor McGonagall pursed her lips, as if she didn't realize how annoying some of the little wizards in Gryffindor House really were.

"Would you like to go down to dinner together, Professor McGonagall."

When things were settled, Amosta was in a good mood, and he invited Professor McGonagall to lunch in the auditorium.

"No, I still have a lot of things to attend to, and I'll let the elves prepare it for me later."

Professor McGonagall stood up and watched Amosta leave, but before he could reach the door, Professor McGonagall seemed to think of something and quickly stopped him, looking a little embarrassed by the confused Amosta.

"There's one thing, I just thought, Amosta, I haven't had time to consult Headmaster Dumbledore, maybe you can help..."

Amosta blinked, Professor McGonagall had always been a resolute person, but she was not an indecisive person, what was it about her that made her so difficult?

"Have you heard of Gilderoy Lockhart?"

Professor McGonagall had a funny expression, half annoyed, half helpless.

"If you're referring to that best-selling author..."

Amosta was surprised, "I have heard, Professor, that his books are very famous, and that I have seen people in many other countries in Europe read about his wonderful adventures, and that I have read them, and that they are indeed very interesting, and that he is a good storyteller, and that you... You want to ask if I can get his autograph? ”

"It has nothing to do with that!"

Professor McGonagall shook her head violently, as if to repel annoying mosquitoes, and she said angrily,

"He's teaching in his current school, invited by Headmaster Dumbledore."

"Oh!"

It seemed that Professor McGonagall didn't like the star writer, and Amosta's eyes widened,

"Then I dare say he must be very popular with the little wizards..., so?"

"What do you say?"

Actually, Professor McGonagall is not the kind of person who likes to talk about her colleagues in private, which is not her style, but as the Deputy Headmaster of the school, she must be responsible for the quality of teaching at Hogwarts.

"Professor Lockhart may be the editor... I mean, I have a little bit of experience in writing books, but he's... Well, it doesn't seem to be particularly good at teaching, you know, Amosta, the second half of the fifth grade has to face the O.W.L.S exam, and the seventh grade also needs to take the N.E.W.T.S exam, which is very important, about the future of the little wizard, there are already a few students like me, they say, they can't get any help and promotion from Professor Lockhart... So, I just thought..."

Professor McGonagall looked at Amosta expectantly,

"I was thinking maybe I could get an assistant for him--"

Amosta frowned, his main mission in coming to Hogwarts was to find the Chamber of Secrets and get the Slytherin remnants inside, and his method was to keep the young wizards under surveillance to see if anyone was behaving abnormally.

For this reason, he had to stay in the monitoring room all day, unable to go out.

Being a professor means that he has to leave his office during the day, which is a bit of a reversal.

"—If you wish, I can negotiate with Headmaster Dumbledore to pay him the salary of a full professor."

Bribing me with money, Professor McGonagall, that's not your style!

Amosta asked righteously,

"I don't have to do the work of grading homework... By the way, which course does this Professor Lockhart teach, sorry, I'm not very good at divination..., hmm, Professor Kettleburn is retired? ”

"It's not divination and magical creature protection, Amosta..."

Professor McGonagall gave a rare look of caution, "Uh... Well, it's... It's Defence Against the Dark Arts. ”

Bang Dang!

Amostie turned sharply and slammed the door,

"Sorry, farewell!"
