Chapter 327: The Value of Each Other
Amosta wants to seek a representative within the Ministry of Magic, and at the moment, the most suitable person is Amelia Bones, who currently has a total of three chips.
The first point is clearer, and that is his own position as the Director of Student Safety at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Even without Dumbledore, Hogwarts' status in the wizarding world is transcendent, and the staff in the school can be counted as 'officials in the wizarding world' to some extent, not to mention that Dumbledore defined it as the level of Hogwarts Headmaster when he set up this position.
The second point is the wisdom that Amosta Bryan has shown in solving the troubles caused by Sirius.
The third reason is even more important.
Compared to the Muggle world, the wizarding world still retains some characteristics of human society in ancient times, that is, 'the strong are respected'.
The power that Amosta showed when he exterminated Greyback was beyond the armed forces of the Ministry of Magic, and if it weren't for Albus Dumbledore still there, the entire Ministry of Magic might have been in a panic because of the sudden appearance of a super strong man in the British wizarding world.
However, the formation of an alliance also depends on the wishes of both sides.
In Amosta's view, Amelia Bones has shown a certain will, but she is still wary of herself.
This is a normal thing, after all, before this, the two people have never crossed paths, and now he is standing in front of the Ministry of Magic in such an eye-catching way, forcing the Ministry of Magic to face himself, and everyone will be vigilant.
"That's right, Amelia--"
At Ms. Bones' request, Amosa called her by her first name,
"Actually, in addition to being invited to participate in the press conference and the award of honors, I have some personal matters to deal with when I came to the Ministry of Magic, and I originally planned to ask Minister Fudge"
Ms. Bones blinked in surprise, and then a smile crossed her lips.
Asking someone to do things is also a way to show intimacy, the night of Greyback's death, she tried to invite Amosta to join the Ministry of Magic, but the olive branch she offered was rejected by Amosta, which made her think that Amosta, like Dumbledore, did not want to get involved in the Ministry of Magic, but now it seems that Amosta Bryne herself seems to be seeking something.
"Is there anything I can do to help—"
Ms. Bones smiled and immediately said,
"You're welcome, Amosta, I'll do my best, even for Susan's sake."
Instead of mentioning Greyback or Sirius, he talked about Susan, the little wizard who Amosta didn't pay much attention to at school, and that was talking about personal relationships
It's easy to deal with smart people, Amosta nodded inwardly.
"Hagrid, tell me you're in trouble--"
"Uh, what. Oh, not to say... Well, it's Buckbeak! ”
Hagrid, who was nervous and confused, came back to his senses, because he had been expelled from Hogwarts, and he was always very nervous about anything that violated the law.
Hagrid swallowed and said cautiously,
"Buckbeak is a Hippogriff, something happened to him in the Forbidden Forest, oh- no, it, it gave Draco something an accident, during class."
"Draco?"
Hagrid's stammering words confused Ms. Bones, and she asked with a frown, confused,
"It's Lucius Malfoy's son, what's wrong with him?"
Amosta glanced at Hagrid, whose face was swollen red, and said randomly, lightly,
"A minor accident that is not worth mentioning, in order to show his character, Mr. Malfoy Jr. did not follow the regulations in the class of the Magical Creature Protection Class, and annoyed a Hippogriff named Buckbeak, so he received a claw on his arm"
Noticing that Ms. Bones frowned, Amosta added,
"I recovered on the same day, not a serious injury."
Ms. Bones's frown furrowed, and she pondered for a moment, and there was a smile in her eyes.
"Lucius borrowed the question?"
"The Hazardous Biological Commission has launched a formal lawsuit against Buckbeak, and it is likely that this innocent little creature will be executed."
Amosta picked up the teacup, the red tea soup in the cup was crystal clear, and the liquid surface was like a ruby when it was still, but Amosta only took a slight sip, and his face was calm.
"I know it's not going to be easy--"
Ms. Bones did not speak for a moment, and Hagrid's large, bear-like hands were clenched tightly and sweating nervously.
"As long as—can, let go—little buck, I can give up any reward!"
Ms. Bones suddenly stood up from the couch opposite, and Hagrid, thinking she had annoyed her, was about to explain, but Amosta gave him a quiet gesture.
Ms. Bones walked briskly to the assistant minister's desk, drew a quill from the pen holder, wrote a few words on the paper, and then, taking out her wand and clicking on it, the parchment immediately floated into the air and folded itself into a paper airplane, and swooped out of the office through the crack in the door.
"I wrote a note to Mokridge asking him to reassess the seriousness of the matter, and I don't think they're going to harass you, Hagrid."
Ms. Bones returned to the couch and said kindly.
And that's the end of it?
Hagrid looked dazed, this matter had been painful for him for more than half a year!
"One more thing, Amelia--"
Hagrid was still stunned, and Amosta had put this behind him.
"I think you might have an image that a young wizard at Hogwarts asked for a time turner from the Ministry of Magic last summer, for study."
After a brief thought, Ms. Bones nodded,
"It's true. I don't remember the name of the little wizard, but I do remember that it was Minerva who had come to the ministry with the child's year-end exam results and the comments of the professors in each course to ask Connelly to sign the bill. ”
"That time turner is broken."
Amosta pulled out the time-turner from his bosom and showed it to Ms. Bones.
"Broken?"
This time, Ms. Bones' expression was much more solemn, the time turner was a strictly controlled magic prop, each one was registered, and if one was broken rashly, the Ministry of Magic would definitely investigate it if there was no valid reason.
"Yes--"
Amosta nodded,
"The little wizard's name is Hermione Granger - a very intelligent and hard-working little witch, she can't remember exactly how the time turner broke, presumably on her way to escape the werewolves with Harry Potter."
"So, Greyback broke it?"
Ms. Burns' face softened.
"Yes, the 'culprit' has been punished."
Amosta's face is not red, his heart is not beating, he is just a blame, if he is not convinced, he can ask Gray Buck to come out and say a few words for himself.
"Then it's much easier."
Ms. Bones said,
"Well, tell that Hermione Granger to write a statement of the situation, ask Minerva and you, both of you to sign it, and then I'll give the note to Connery, and ask him to sign a disclaimer and return it to the Department of Mysteries, and that's it."
