Amosta spent two months in Paris.

Two months earlier, he had visited Vip Dregern, and since then, Hogwarts has passed the judging process and officially become the host of the Triwizard Tournament.

This is actually a matter of course, Hogwarts has an advantage over the other two schools, and although the competition is fierce, if it is not for someone in private to obstruct it, victory is expected.

And there are many things to finalize in the preparation of such a major event.

For example, the finalization of the number of candidates for the Warriors, the life and study of the young wizards and professors at Hogwarts during the visit of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang schools, the finalization of the specific date of the competition, etc., of course, the most important thing is the specific competition of the event, and this part of the content, Amosta has no right to participate in the discussion.

Because he is the representative of Hogwarts, and the tournament must be kept secret from the Warriors before it officially opens, and in order to prevent leaks, no one related to the three schools has the right to intervene.

But even then, Amosta was so busy that he had countless meetings to take place almost every day.

Amosta can be regarded as having seen the efficiency of these people, and the slightest trivial matter can be quarreled at the meeting, and Karkaroff even craned his neck and yelled at the committee in the meeting over such a trivial matter as whether the number of Warriors candidates was eleven or twelve.

Madame Maxim also failed to show the usual demeanor, picking as hard as she could find fault with all the things she could find.

Amosta knew that the two schools were not convinced because of their defeat in the competition with Hogwarts, so he tried to be as tolerant as possible, but fortunately, Beauxbatons's little girl named Fleur Delacour returned to Beauxbatons after the judging because she was going to school, otherwise, Amosta might have more headaches.

However, judging from the little girl's angry expression when she said goodbye at the end, she seemed to hold a grudge against herself.

In addition to matters related to the Triwizard Tournament, Amosta has also dealt with some other troubles in the past two months.

Take, for example, Cuthbert Mokridge and Ludo Bagman.

After the results of the review were decided, he talked to the two guys separately.

As a result, after returning to the UK at the end of his 'trip', Mokridge quickly submitted an application for early retirement to Cornelius Fudge, and strongly recommended the deputy director of the Goblin Liaison Office, Dirk Chryswell, to take his place.

Ludo Bagman, on the grounds of ill health, took a leave of absence like Barty, and then returned to England in disgrace, never intervening in the Triwizard Tournament again.

Hogwarts was peaceful, but Sirius had an accident.

In the second week of May, the annual Hogclub Quidditch Final finally took place.

This time the Gryffindor and Slytherin faced off, and without external interference, Gryffindor finally won, Slytherin lost the honor of winning consecutive championships, and seven years later, the Quidditch Cup was finally transferred from Professor Snape's office to Professor McGonagall's.

The problem is after the game.

Angry at the outcome of the tournament, believing that Harry had cost them the title, several Slytherin wizards turned into Dementors one night to scare Harry, Hermione, and Ron, who had returned from Hagrid's celebrations, only to be confronted by Sirius after returning from the faculty bathroom.

Enraged, Sirius rushed to Dumbledore's office with the little guys and demanded that Dumbledore expel them, but Dumbledore would not agree to his request, so Sirius emptied the hourglass of Slytherin House on the grounds of this matter.

Snape wasn't a soft-footed shrimp, and he found Sirius as soon as he realized what had happened.

Inevitably, a great war broke out at Hogwarts again, and this time, even the young wizards.

Letters of accountability from the injured young wizard's parents and letters from the Ministry of Magic poured into Hogwarts, and Sirius, who was already a substitute, voluntarily resigned and left Hogwarts in order to give them an explanation, and stayed at Hogsmeade for the next month.

Dumbledore, Snape, and Sirius all sent him letters afterwards explaining what had happened.

Amosta thought that Draco's name must be among the little wizards who attacked Harry, but he didn't expect that this time, Draco didn't get involved. It was Pansy Parkinson who moved Crabbe and Goyle to make such a farce with serious consequences.

By the time Paris was over and Amosta returned to Hogwarts, the final exams had finished and the young wizards had packed up and left the school.

Hogwarts was empty with students leaving, and the staff couldn't wait to get out of here for a rare time of the year, with only Hagrid standing faithfully on the edge of the Forbidden Forest on the campus.

Boom –

A violent explosion blew the door of Hagrid's hut open, and Hagrid, with a wooden box in his arms, rushed out of the billowing smoke, coughing loudly.

"I think--"

On the shores of the Black Lake, Dumbledore and Amosta were walking along the shores of the lake, sensing Amosta's searching gaze from the past, and a wry smile appeared under his golden beard in the blazing midday sun,

"Hagrid is probably trying to breed a magical creature that has never been seen before--"

Amosta withdrew his concerned gaze and nodded knowingly, and suddenly, he smiled, "You've always been very tolerant of those close to you, Headmaster—"

"If you're accusing Sirius of my attitude, Amosta, I want you to understand that the nature of that matter is different—"

Dumbledore's expression was a little more serious, but his tone was quite honest,

"I understand Sirius's guilt for Harry after this series of events, and he wants to try his best to make up for his unfulfilled responsibilities and make up for the lack of care that Harry has lacked in the past twelve years, but too much love will not do anything, but will hurt Harry and others, and this incident proves my opinion--"

Amosta shook his head slightly, and said nothing, he stared at the sparkling lake,

"Speaking of which, what about the Sirius?"

Amosta frowned slightly,

"He wrote to me before that he would be waiting for me in Hogsmeade, but I sensed that he was in London at the moment, what was he doing there?"

"He wanted to talk to the Muggle couple who adopted Harry--"

Dumbledore also stopped and said calmly,

"Sirius learned from you about Harry's situation at his aunt's house, and he wanted to save Harry from somewhere, but he had to give up on it because of what I told you, but he was still worried about Harry's situation, so he wanted to save Harry's treatment at home and negotiate with the Muggle couple in person-"

"You didn't stop it?"

"I can't think of any reason to stop Sirius from doing that, unless, he's going to cast a curse on the Muggle couple and their children."

At the end of the forbidden forest, in the direction of the snow-capped mountain, a large area of thick clouds flashing with thunder rolled in, and in the blink of an eye, the scenery of heaven and earth changed suddenly.

The air was filled with a thick vapor of water, and beneath the surface of the lake, countless magical creatures were in turmoil.

Amosta was not surprised that Dumbledore knew the specifics of Harry's aunt's house, Dumbledore had always known everything, and what he wanted to know was what Dumbledore thought of what he and Sirius were going to do.

The tall castle standing on the shore of the cliff was shrouded in shadows swept by the sky, the humid air, for some reason rippling with the slightest smell of blood, Dumbledore turned to stare at the castle that had been like a thousand years for a year, for some reason, his beard fluttered, and his face showed a trace of twilight, and even the blue eyes that were restrained in the past were slightly cloudy.

Magic comes from the heart.

Dumbledore's change of mood was immediately noticed by Amosta, who turned his face to stare at Dumbledore's side face, and before he knew it, his eyebrows were gathered deeper.

"What's wrong?"

"There's something I want you to ask for, Amosta—"

Dumbledore stared at the grass and trees of Hogwarts, not at Amosta, his chin and beard fluttering freely in the wind, but his voice was extremely heavy,

"There's a lot of evidence that the darkness is looming--"

A sigh went away with the wind, and Dumbledore, who looked much older, finally met Amosta's condensed gaze,

"If next school year, you notice something going on in Hogwarts, Amosta,"

The last rays of sunlight fell on Dumbledore, and the shadows cast on the ground were incomparably thin.

"I want you to be silent."
