Chapter 324: Swept

The British wizarding world has been peaceful for a long time, and it has not been such explosive news for many years, and within half a day of the werewolf incident being exposed, things quickly fermented and were almost uncontrollable.

After lunch, the Daily Prophet, Wizarding Weekly, and many nationally and internationally well-known newspapers and journalists flocked to the gates of Hogwarts in an attempt to break into the house to interview Amosta Blaine, a young wizard who had only made a name for himself by unraveling the mysteries of the Slytherin Chamber and being the director of the Hogwarts Office of Student Safety.

After Dumbledore came forward and politely declined the invitation to interview Professor Bryan on the grounds that he was unwell, the frenzied reporters did not stop talking.

Letters of appointment invitations drifted in through the window of Amosta's office like snowflakes, and even reminded Amosta of the time he helped Lockhart reply to fans last year.

Some crazy and radical reporters refused to open the doors of Hogwarts when they saw it, and even tried to sneak through the Forbidden Forest into the campus, but the natives living in the Forbidden Forest didn't want a large group of wizards to rush in and interfere with their lives.

In the end, the reporters had no choice but to interview the Hogsmeade natives, trying to dig something of value out of their mouths.

In the school, the corridor on the third floor was almost filled with excited little wizards, they all knew that Professor Bryan was not a particularly dignified professor in private, and they hoped to find out some exciting news, but unfortunately, the door of Professor Bryan's office was always closed, as if no one existed inside.

In the evening, a special additional issue of the Prophet Evening was released.

The frenzied reporters hadn't heard anything about the werewolf being wiped out itself, but they had managed to get something of value.

A reporter spent a full two hundred gold coins to buy a photograph from a villager in Hogsmeade.

The villager, an astronomy enthusiast, climbed the highest hill nearby, the slope of the Screaming Shack, that night, and used an astronomical telescope to observe the planet's orbit, and he quickly noticed the movement on the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

His astronomical telescope can record changes in the planet's position and, of course, take pictures of what's happening up to two miles away.

A young wizard with a cold aura floated high in the air, throwing hundreds of feet of raging flames towards the earth, and the werewolves struggled and howled in the terrifying flames, and one fell down one after another, this scene was like divine punishment!

When the newspaper was brought to Hogwarts by the owl, the whole of Hogwarts boiled.

When night fell, the school auditorium was full of chattering little wizards, when Amosta, who had been hiding in the office, appeared on the stairs next to the foyer, the large auditorium reflecting the clean night sky was quiet for half a minute, and the little wizards watched Professor Bryan walk from the foyer into the auditorium, through the dining tables between the colleges, and onto the faculty tables, the auditorium suddenly erupted in thunderous whistling and long-lasting applause!

"That's cool, Professor!"

At the Gryffindor table, the Weasley twin brothers shouted with their hands raised in the air.

"Can I learn that from you, Professor!"

Hufflepuff's Cedric shook the Prophet's Evening in his hand and roared with admiration on his face.

The Ravenclaw girls also lost their minds and composure, whispering head to head, staring at Amosta at the table, and bursting into a coquettish laugh from time to time.

"Please don't forget!"

Marcus Flint yelled at the auditorium,

"Professor Bryan belongs to Slytherin!"

Marcus shouted hard, and many Slytherins cheered him on, but the response was very enthusiastic from time to time, and the other three houses didn't bother with them.

At the faculty table, all the professors raised their glasses to Amosta.

"I think it won't be long before you're going to be better than that Lockhart, Amosta-"

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips and smiled inwardly,

"I hope you'll get used to this high-profile life, which doesn't match your humble, low-key style."

Although he had never been in the spotlight as much as he is today, Amosta did not appear panicked or flattered, as if he were not the one who was being noticed.

"Hehe, I'll try to fit inβ€”"

Amosta smiled lightly.

"Actually, I thought about this day for a long time, Amosta!"

Professor Flitwick deliberately suppressed his high-pitched voice, which made his tone sound a little strange, and he said excitedly,

"Ever since you told me last year about your conflict with the werewolves, I thought you'd one day fight the evil werewolves, but I didn't expect you to do it so simply, Amosta!"

Dumbledore, who hadn't been at the faculty table for a while, didn't mind being robbed of the limelight, and he listened quietly to the conversation between Amosta and the crowd, happily dealing with the pork chops on his plate, and seemed pleased with Amosta's composure at the moment.

At Hogwarts, the three Harrys, who knew all the truth, were left in the school hospital by Madam Pomfrey to observe, and the Ministry of Magic, which was supposed to be interviewed, only gave a brief account of the elimination of Greyback and his gang, and did not disclose anything.

However, the storm that this incident has caused in the wizarding world has become more and more popular.

Whether it's Hogsmeade or Diagon Alley, or the villages of St. Cachpole and Godric's Hollow, wizards are talking about the exterminated Greyback werewolves and the rarely successful Ministry of Magic, and even the Muggle government has revealed on the morning news that the most heinous 'terrorist', Fenrir Greyback, has been shot dead by the police.

For three days, Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic did not give any interviews on the matter, which was actually due to Amosta's suggestion, which he believed needed to give people's curiosity a little time to 'ferment'.

On Thursday, the sky was still bathed in darkness as the morning light rose.

In the student safety office on the third floor, Amosta, who had gotten up early in the morning, was tidying up in front of a round of water mirrors floating in mid-air, and considering that he was going to make headlines today, he rarely took a moment to pamper himself.

"Professor Blaine!"

As soon as he walked out of the castle and down the marble staircase, Amosta saw Hagrid standing on the path leading to the school gate, waving excitedly at him.

Just yesterday evening, the Ministry of Magic officially sent an invitation to Hogwarts, inviting Hogwarts teachers and students who have made outstanding contributions to the mission to exterminate Greyback, in addition to Remus Lupin in the intensive care unit, Hagrid and Snape are among the invites, in the face of the olive branch handed by the Ministry of Magic, Snape left directly with a cold face, for him, saving Sirius's life can only be regarded as a shame.

Hagrid wasn't going to get involved, fearing that a half-blood giant would cause Dumbledore to criticize, but Amosta convinced him with a reason he couldn't refuse.

As Harry and the others are only underage wizards, their commendations will be given directly by Hogwarts. The specific performance may be that each person adds 50 points, but another 30 points are deducted due to trespassing in the forbidden forest late at night.

"How's my dress, Professor?"

The two of them walked side by side in the deserted campus, and Hagrid stroked his beard nervously.

Today, Hagrid finally took off his usual scruffy coat and put on a rample suit, almost as a sail oversize, from which Amosta could faintly smell the smell of cologne, which Hagrid probably used to hide the musty smell of the suit.

"Very nice, Hagrid--"

Amosta has known Hagrid for many years, and it is the first time he has seen him dressed like this, and the corners of his mouth are slightly distorted,

"I bet you're going to look good in this one"
