Chapter 187: The Return (Part II)

Director of the Office of Student Safety at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?

Amosta blinked and smiled undeniably, better than the name 'castle security officer'.

"I was able to easily convince the school board to accede to my request, and perhaps it was the uneventful years of the past two years that made them realize that we should really think about the safety of the little wizards."

Dumbledore said in a relaxed tone,

"I plan to bring the castle keepers and game keepers under the management of this department, which will have a very special right, in addition to arranging the daily patrols of the castle by the presidents of the male and female student councils and the prefects of the various houses."

Amosta looked sideways at Dumbledore, awaiting his explanation.

"--The surveillance equipment you left in the school, Amosta, I think it's a waste to keep them in Argus's office, I've spoken to the school board and the Ministry of Magic, and in special times, I mean that if there are certain events that will threaten the safety of the young wizards in the school, then those alchemy items will be used legally."

Amosta raised her eyebrows in surprise, this was not an easy thing to negotiate.

Speaking of this, Dumbledore showed a little regret,

"I've talked to Minerva before, and we both think that your alchemy items are really useful, and if it weren't for them, maybe more young wizards would have been hurt last semester before Miss Weasley was brought into the Vault... Tonight, if they exist, we'll probably be able to spot Blake breaking into the school instantly. ”

"Is there a reasonable inference, Headmaster Dumbledore?"

Amosta asked, frowning.

"The most likely possibility is that Blake took a long detour from the Forbidden Forest,"

Dumbledore thought and said,

"But that's until Hagrid asks his magical creatures friends."

Hogwarts, with its Dementor handles and a lot of ancient magic defenses, is like an impregnable wall, if Amosta wants to sneak into Hogwarts, I'm afraid he will most likely choose to choose from the Forbidden Forest, but it's still very difficult to sneak into Hogwarts from the dense vegetation, where there are many and many kinds of Forbidden Forest, and you don't know that Gala Horn is peeking at you with a pair of eyes.

"About the Director of the Office of Student Safety--"

Dumbledore suddenly smiled again,

"When things aren't so stressful... I mean, you're free to leave Hogwarts and do your own thing, Amosta, while teaching is going on as normal. ”

Amosta smacked, not knowing what to say, did Dumbledore change his sex, this is specifically to make extra money?

"--The Director of Student Safety has a great responsibility for the personal safety of all the little wizards, and the school board considers this position to be of equal importance to the vice-principal, so your salary is the same as that of Minerva, Amosta, is 1500 Galleons--"

Ahem, you have to be to the point when you speak, Dumbledore!

Before dawn, a bone-chilling cold enveloped the earth, and the sky, the junction between the earth and the sky still did not see a trace of light, but the starlight and moonlight above the canopy gradually dimmed, and the darkness that made people sink unwanted.

The brilliant light of the fire flickered in the deep night, one short and one tall, and two equally emaciated figures appeared on the stairs outside the castle gates.

There is almost no difference between what you see and when you leave, and this ancient castle seems to be in the gap of time, allowing the years to flow like water, alone.

"Minerva will be happy--" Dumbledore said with a smile on his beard, sparkling with dewdrops, "As the Deputy Headmaster, she has to make sure that the school is running smoothly in addition to teaching, and she is always anxious when something special happens, and now, at last, someone can share some of the responsibility for her." ”

"It is the headmaster's job to make sure the school is functioning properly, not the deputy headmaster or the director of the Office of Security, Headmaster Dumbledore."

Amosta rolled her eyes and said politely.

"Oh, if that's the case, I'll have to do it for myself..."

Dumbledore tried to explain something, but Amosta ignored it, and he walked straight to the grand door, pursed his lips, and smiled

"Hogwarts, I'm back."

..................

Restlessly discussing how the little wizards who had infiltrated the school in the middle of the night and Blake fell asleep, because no matter what happened tonight, tomorrow's class would always continue, and in the auditorium under the stars, except for the occasional slight footsteps of the professors passing by, only the snoring of the young wizards echoed each other.

Although Hermione and Ron had already fallen asleep, Harry was only sleeping with his eyes closed, because although the rest of the young wizards could take Blake's break-in into the castle as an anecdote, he couldn't do it, after all, Blake was coming for him, and Harry wasn't sure if the cunning criminal would still lurk in the shadows and kill Dumbledore while he left Hogwarts.

Speaking of which, Professor Lupin had hurried back to the castle to join the night patrol.

Snape also returned to the school, apparently, he had figured out that the old friend he had met with Lupin was not Black, and as soon as he came back, he went upstairs with a calm face and never reappeared, but Professor Dumbledore had not been seen so far, shouldn't the three of them come back together...

Hogwarts without Dumbledore was always less reassuring, Harry couldn't help himself from thinking about where Professor Dumbledore had gone, he was tossing and turning in his sleeping bag, restless for a long time, and finally, he was ready to get up and take a breath...

Crunch!

The whistling sound of the doorway spinning was extremely harsh in the quiet auditorium, and Harry, who had gotten up halfway through, got into his sleeping bag again, facing the direction of the castle gate, and peeked through the bright starlight of the illusory night sky on the ceiling of the auditorium...

Oh!

With a single glance, Harry let out a celebratory exclamation of victory in a Quidditch match!

..........

When Amosta walked into last semester's office again, and saw the furnishings in the room, he knew that Dumbledore had probably been thinking about how to put the title of Director of Student Safety on his head, and that Black's raid on the castle tonight and the sudden meeting with Professor Snape had given him a very good opportunity.

Desks, bookshelves, camp beds, fireplaces... Everything is furnished as it was before, and even the dark curtain that covers the surveillance wall is spotless.

An impromptu meeting is taking place in the reopened office, with the owner of the office, Amosta, Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, Defence Against the Dark Arts professor Lupin, Vice Headmaster Minerva McGonagall, and the castlekeeper Argus Filch, who has been clearly placed under the owner's management of the Office of Student Safety.

"Although I only said that a few months ago--"

Professor McGonagall's small round bun on the back of her head was in a messy state, and the weakness between her eyebrows and eyes showed that she was very tired, but she still struggled to squeeze out a smile at Amosta.

"But I have to say it again, Amosta, and welcome back to Hogwarts..."

"Thank you, Professor McGonagall--"

Amosta waved his wand to conjure up several chairs and sat down with the elderly and overworked Professor McGonagall, while the older but energetic Dumbledore, apparently knowing that he was not being treated, happily found a stool for himself to sit down.

A gloomy Lupin walked to the shelf on the fireplace to make tea for everyone, and only Filch faced his new boss, looking anxious and not knowing what to do.

"Sit down, Argus!" Amosta said kindly.

"Oh, Bryan sir, I'll just stand!"

Filch, with his big eyes, was terrified, and his nose was red like a light bulb, but in the end, he couldn't resist Amosta's gentle gaze, and he tried to sit down with his back upright next to the stool.

"So now--"

Amosta, who soon entered the role, looked around and said calmly

"Can anyone elaborate on the current situation?"
