Back in the office, Amosta was still thinking about the little Ravenclaw wizard named Luna Lovegood she had met outside.

In terms of safety, ability, time, and other aspects, Amosta decided to intercept the little wizards in the third and fourth grades to participate in his new curriculum first, but Luna's appearance reminded Amosta that among the young wizards in other grades, there are also many gifted children, and he should also give them some opportunities to grow.

Amosta had taught Defence Against the Dark Arts and was familiar with all the children in the school, except for the young wizards who had just entered Hogwarts last year.

For two hours, Amosta sat in his seat, silently thinking by the steady and bright candlelight, and every other moment he added a name to the parchment in front of him, and by the time the moon was almost in the middle of the sky, the parchment was already full of names.

But this is not the end of the matter, his new course also needs textbooks, and Amosta does not plan to use the existing magic books on the market as textbooks, he decides to compile a new textbook and corresponding teaching plan himself, so that if he leaves Hogwarts one day, the course can continue to exist.

Tuk Tuk Tuk --

Amosta, who was immersed in his thoughts, was awakened by a sudden knock on the door, he looked up, and after noticing the visitor through the door, he smiled helplessly,

"Come in, three--"

There weren't many young wizards who dared to wander around the castle outside of the allotted hours, but not many had the guts to knock on his office door, and not surprisingly, it was the Gryffindor's small group.

Knocking on Professor Blaine's office in the middle of the night was not without a psychological burden for the three of Harry, but when the three of them walked in, the shock immediately replaced the apprehension, and the three of them stared at the wall on the right behind the door in a daze, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Wondering where those surveillance footage went?"

Amosta tucked the parchment in front of him into a drawer, stood up and moved his stiff muscles, and he smiled when he saw the puzzled expressions of the three little ones.

Professor Bryan's office is probably the simplest of all professors, but everyone who walks into this office can't forget to pay attention to the walls that have been covered by massive black curtains for many years. Harry knew that this was Professor Bryan's method of monitoring the school, but to most young wizards, it was a secret.

Amosta walked over to the couch and waved his wand, and three cups of steaming milk appeared on the coffee table.

"In order not to ruin your sleep in the second half of the night, I won't invite you to tea, let's have some hot milk, I don't think you want to miss Professor Black's Defense Against the Dark Arts class because you're sick--"

"Actually, we think it's a good idea for you to be in charge—"

Harry grinned.

The three of them sat down on the couch at Professor Blaine's instructions, but Ron hadn't forgotten the magical surveillance wall, which he had been looking at as if he was talking and stopping.

"It's not legal to monitor the school in that way, it's just a special response in an emergency, and after Sirius was found innocent, Headmaster Dumbledore immediately reminded me to dismantle it in time, so you probably won't see it in this office in the future."

Amosta said with a smile.

"Oh-" Ron shrugged his shoulders, "Fren and George will be disappointed, they've always been interested in this. ”

Amosta knew that the Weasley twin brothers had even been studying it privately, and the two of them were not capable of making the original, but, with their own ingenuity, they had also researched similar alchemy items, which Amosta had seen in Filch's office.

Before the formal topic began, there was always a lot of gossip, and the three Harry asked him about the progress of the Ministry of Magic's investigation into Peter's murderer, and on this issue, Amosta couldn't tell the truth about the three little guys, Peter, who he found someone to kill.

"Hmm-"

After thinking for a moment, Amosta said slowly,

"The Ministry of Magic hasn't achieved anything promising so far, but as far as I know, they suspect an insider involved in the murder."

"Insider?!"

This answer shocked the three little guys, however, Hermione quickly reacted,

"According to the Daily Prophet, Peter Pettigrew died on his way to Azkaban, which means that there must have been an insider to provide information-"

"Oh!"

Ron said with a look of disgust,

"Dad always told me that the Ministry of Magic couldn't hide any news like a sieve, but I really didn't expect them to be out of the basket for this kind of thing, but, to be honest, he deserved it, didn't he?"

Keeping a criminal into a rat as a pet for a few years is definitely the last thing Ron wants to think about in his life.

Harry's feelings about Peter's death are very complicated, this guy not only made him an orphan, but also made Sirius suffer injustice, judging from the crime, his fate perfectly matched his actions, but would his father also want to see Peter die so miserably in the end?

Harry was pondering this when the office rang again.

The sudden arrival of the 'attacker' made the three little ones nervous.

Aside from them, most of the people who could visit Professor Bryan at this point were another professor, if it was Professor McGonagall or Professor Dumbledore. Harry and Hermione are still in lockdown because they are stalking the Professor!

"Don't worry--"

Looking at the frightened three little ones, Amosta said amusedly,

"It's Professor Black, I think, he retains some of the bad habits of his student days, and he likes to hang out in the middle of the night."

"Sorry to bother you so late, Amosta--"

After a series of events, Sirius became more polite than before, he knew that it was rude to break into someone's office so late, and as soon as he got to the door, he apologized,

"I just read the materials that Remus left me in the office, the progress of each grade, and the class starts tomorrow, and I have to digest it tonight."

"Since that's the case—"

Amosta held a birdcage in Sirius' hand,

"Why don't you read the materials quietly in your office, but come to me in the middle of the night with a birdcage--"

Sirius was about to explain, but when he raised his eyes, he saw three cramped and restless little wizards standing on the edge of the sofa, he was stunned, and then smiled,

"Oh, why are you three so likely that you're in Amosta's office?"

Sirius blinked, he walked over to Harry's side and patted him on the shoulder,

"You're on an adventure, and then, Filch grabbed you and sent you to Amosta?"

"You have to have confidence in your godson's nocturnal skills, Sirius—"

The couch was full, and Amosta had to go back to his desk.

"About this owl—" Sirius immediately said what he meant after sitting down, "Since you three are here, it's easy, I gave it to you, Ron--"

"Give it to me?"

Ron's eyes widened, he glanced at the cooing owl in the cage a few times, and his gaze fell on Professor Black's face again.

"Yes, I booked it the other day and today, the post office sent it straight into my office, probably because of coming to a new environment, it looks exciting, and I happen to need a quiet environment now-"

Sirius smiled at Ron, who was a little at a loss, and said,

"Even if it's an indemnity for you, Ron, I know from Crookhill that you took Peter. I mean, you value that spotted mouse, but you lost it because of me. ”

Ron puffed out his cheeks in surprise, and although he didn't say anything, everyone could see his surprise.

The Weasleys were financially cramped, the family had only one owl in common, and none of his older brothers and Ginny had pets of their own.

"Take it, Ron, Hedwig will be glad she has a new friend!"

Harry said brightly.

"Okay--"

Ron hesitated with a flushed face, but eventually, nodded sheepishly under Harry and Hermione's encouraging gazes.

Now, it was Harry's turn for the three of them to speak up.

"Oh, actually—"

Harry dodged Sirius and Professor Bryan's gaze and said hesitantly,

"We're here to ask you something, Professor Blaine—"

"Uh-huh-"

Amosta leaned back in his chair and made a nasal voice to signal that he was listening.

"There have been rumors about the Defense Against the Dark Arts course, as evidenced by the fact that the professor in charge of the course will experience the curse of Quirrell, Gilderoy Lockhart, and Professor Lupin. There is only one exception. ”

Harry stared at Professor Blaine for Prospective Aide, and Hermione seemed dismissive of the unfounded rumors, just staring down at her toes.

Amosta froze, and Sirius froze as soon as Harry said his purpose, staring deeply at Harry's Jaime-like face, pursing his lips and glinting in his pale gray eyes.

The unnatural atmosphere in the air suffocated Harry, who lowered his head in embarrassment, but insisted on speaking the question,

"We want to find out how you managed to avoid this misfortune."

"Harry--" Sirius said softly,

"You don't have to worry about this, I've thought about it, I'm just doing Dumbledore a temporary favor, it's less than half a school year, even if that rumor is true, I'm sure it won't be fatal—"
