Chapter 330: Sharp Questions

Before today, Amosta Blaine had never been in the public eye, so you can imagine how shocking it was to the wizarding world that a young wizard who had not been well-known before had single-handedly wiped out an entire werewolf race in an era of peace!

"Mr. Bryan!"

After Amosta's brief self-introduction, a female reporter with graceful figure, burgundy curly hair, and wearing a card for the Gargoyle Roar newspaper, which is important in France, raised her hand and said with a look of reverence,

"Minister Fudge has just announced to the wizarding world that you will be awarded the Order of Merlin, 1st degree, and that the British Ministry of Magic will hire you as a senior advisor, does that mean you will leave Hogwarts and move into politics?"

"I don't think so--"

Without the slightest hesitation, Amosta replied with a light smile,

"Although it is a very noble job to be a Ministry of Magic officer and serve the inhabitants of the wizarding world, I would prefer to stay at Hogwarts and be more happy to spend time with children, develop their skills and brains, and grow them into a qualified adult wizard, which is something that makes me feel more rewarding."

Amosta's answer was met with a round of applause, and some high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

A turnip and a pit, if Amosta Blaine tries to join the Ministry of Magic with the power of werewolf extermination, with the support of public opinion, they may not be able to refuse, and they will not be able to deal with a great wizard with extraordinary strength with a casual position, and at that time, someone will definitely step down.

Today, Amosta has seen how difficult it is for Fudge's feared newspaper reporters to deal with it, and the question that the female reporter of "Gargoyle's Roar" first asked can only be regarded as testing the waters, and then all kinds of tricky questions emerge one after another.

Some asked if Amosta had been appointed as the next headmaster of Hogwarts, asked who had better mana between him and Dumbledore, and asked if Amosta, who was a Muggle-born wizard, would speak up for the rights of half-blood wizards.

A reporter from the American newspaper "New York Elves" on the other side of the Atlantic even asked Amosta what he thought of the imprisonment of Gilderoy Lockhart, a famous best-selling author in European wizarding circles who co-served as a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts last year.

How else can you see it, go to Azkaban to see it.

"Mr. Blaine, I'm Rita Skeeter of the Daily Prophet--"

Overall, the atmosphere of the press conference was friendly, after all, the Ministry of Magic and Amosta Bryan had eliminated the evil werewolf gang, and even for this sake, no one would spoil the atmosphere at this celebratory moment. But there are exceptions.

It was a female reporter from the Daily Prophet, who had made her hair into delicate, stiff, grotesque curls that matched her big-jawed face, and looked particularly twisted. She wore a pair of jeweled glasses, her fat fingers clutched at a crocodile-skin handbag, her nails more than two inches long and painted red, and at this moment her hands were held high, and a green shorthand quill was scribbling quickly on the parchment that was spread out on her knees.

"Oh, oh no, I knew there was her-"

Fudge's face tensed, and he grunted nervously into Amosta's ear.

It seems that the prophet who is known for his storytelling and vicious rhetoric in the wizarding world is in a hurry for Rita Skeeter.

Rita Skeeter is very famous in the industry, and when she raised her hand to ask a question, the noisy reporters around her suddenly fell silent, and they stared at Rita with interested eyes, showing three big gold teeth, as if they were expecting something.

"Ms. Skeeter, you can name your problem-"

Amosta said gently.

"Oh, Mr. Brian, there is no doubt that you have achieved such an impressive achievement, it is so amazing that I dare not imagine that a wizard who is only a little famous could judge nearly a hundred vicious werewolves in a head-to-head duel-"

Rita Skeeter smiled, her lips moved quickly, but her eyes behind the bejeweled frames inadvertently crossed a sharp light,

"yes, I'm puzzled by that, so I and my lovely colleagues who are persistently pursuing the truth visited some Hogsmeade villagers who witnessed the scene that night, oh, there are some strange stories circulating there, and of course, it is also possible that the villagers don't understand your powerful magic-"

Amosta patiently kept a listening stance,

"What's this strange statement?"

Rita Skeeter smiled slyly at the corners of her mouth, and she got up from her stool so that the cameras could get a better picture of her.

"It's a terrible designation, but, Mr. Blaine, it seems that one thinks that the powerful fire magic you used that night seems to be. Fierce fire? ”

When the name 'Fierce Fire' appeared in the front hall of the Ministry of Magic, in a trance, a cold wind blew over the heads of the muttering reporters, and they all shrank their necks one by one.

In England, the public may not know much about the Flame Charm, which is a powerful magic that only a very few wizards are capable of, but journalists from France and Germany will not forget how much damage his spell caused to their country and their city when a wizard was active.

Although it is not as famous as the Unforgivable Charm, the Fire Curse is also on the list of spells that are absolutely forbidden to be used by the Ministry of Magic of various countries, of course, it is not so unreasonable to use extraordinary means to deal with werewolves, so although many reporters have already grasped some information, they still have not brought this point forward.

But it's still dishonorable, isn't it?

It's the same for both Amosta Bryan and the Ministry of Magic, and Rita Skeeter, who is keen to unearth scandals, sees through this cunningly, so she throws the question out.

Fudge Khan rained down, and Amelia frowned.

However, Rufus Scrimgeur, who was also present at the press conference, flashed a hint of pleasure in his pale yellow lion-like eyes, he didn't like Amosta Blaine, not only because he suppressed the limelight of the Aurors, but because he had been fighting crime for many years, he smelled a smell in Amosta, which was the smell of crime.

Rufus Scrimgeur, who has been dealing with dark wizards for half his life, knows very well that a powerful wizard who is so good at using fire is impossible to be without faults, but in the ministry, several of his top bosses collectively lost their voices and chose to turn a blind eye to this.

Everyone craned their necks and waited for Amosta to give a reasonable explanation, and people speculated that Amosta could give an explanation-—— either denying it outright or, taking out a charter from the Ministry of Magic, which of course would disgrace both himself and the British Ministry of Magic, and that was what Rita Skeeter intended.

Looking at his face, Amosta smiled

"Before answering this question, I would like to ask you--"

Amosta looked around and asked unhurriedly,

"Why is the Fire Spell listed as an illegal and forbidden spell by various countries?"

The abrupt question made everyone confused, and even Rita Skeeter, who asked the question, couldn't see through Amosta's intentions for a while, but she quickly reacted and pressed step by step,

"Sir, I thought we were talking about whether the magic that killed Greyback was a fire spell, not an academic question of why the fire spell was banned."

Amosta Bryan wants to muddy the waters and get the problem done.

Rita Skeeter had guessed what Le Amosta Blaine was thinking, and she ignored Fudge's angry glare with a beaming expression.

"The reason why the fire spell is regarded as black magic and banned by various countries is nothing more than three points"

Glancing at Rita Skeeter, who seemed to be trying to settle herself with the question, Amosta calmly explained.
