Chapter 748: Calm and Confused
"This is complete slander, Brian!"
Umbridge screamed,
"Check the parcels in the mail from the residents, oh, is that what you suggested, Brian, it's ridiculous, the Ministry of Magic has no right to do that!"
"Then the Legislature should legislate to grant this right!"
Amosta snorted coldly,
"Have you ever considered that if someone mails contraband and black magic items through the post office, do you just take them all and help the offender complete the crime?"
Umbridge breathed a sigh of relief, and for a moment did not know how to answer.
This is indeed an irrefutable omission, not to mention Connelly, even Amelia frowned for a while, she said thoughtfully,
"You're right, Amosta, maybe, we should really introduce laws to regulate the mailing process and package security--"
"Ever since the fall of the Mystery, the Ministry of Magic has been negligent and thinks that the world is too peaceful--"
Amosta raised an eyebrow at Amelia, her words sharp
"But in reality, the Dark Wizard is not just a mystery man, and the Ministry of Magic needs to be responsible for the safety of all aspects of people's lives, and you must pay attention to it and allocate more personnel in all aspects that affect the safety of the people."
Amelia's heart twitched, and her gaze turned to Fudge.
"Oh, that's exactly what we're going to do, Amosta!"
In the face of such a fierce confrontation, Fudge stood there with his sideburns wiped all the time, looking helpless, he had been racking his brains to think about how to dispel the strong dissatisfaction of Amosta and Dumbledore, and the look in Amelia's reminding eyes made him suddenly brighten.
"We're talking about it!"
Fudge said excitedly,
"Considering recruiting more strikers to protect the safety of the people, in my opinion, this matter is going to be accelerated, Amelia, we need to push this resolution through as soon as possible, and organize the team before Easter!"
"But, Minister—"
Umbridge was stunned for several seconds before coming back to his senses,
"It's still a proposal."
"I pay Amelia for her offer, Dolores—"
Fudge immediately gave Umbridge a warning look and motioned for her to shut up.
I have to say that Amosta Blaine is indeed a timing-time messenger to tell that the proposal to send an additional team of strikers has caused a lot of controversy in the ministry, because it will seize funds for multiple construction projects, and it has been discussed many times without results, but I didn't expect that Amosta actually took advantage of this terrorist incident to promote the resolution lightly.
Amelia glanced at the unmistakable Amosta, if it weren't for her understanding of him and Dumbledore's personalities, she would have almost thought that Granger's attack was planned by him.
Knock, knock –
There was a knock on the office door, and Severus walked in with a steaming glass of golden potion.
When he left, there were only Dumbledore and Amosta here, and at this time, several high-ranking officials from the Ministry of Magic had already come, and it didn't take much effort for Severus to sense the tense atmosphere in this office, but he didn't pay attention to it at all, and went directly to Hermione's bedside with the potion.
Fudge had planned to say hello to Severus, but seeing that he was only focused on feeding the hapless little witch medicine and not even looking at them, he coughed awkwardly and looked at Hermione's face with concern.
"This medicine has a strong deterrent effect on the curse, Amosta-"
After feeding Hermione the medicine, Severus whispered,
"But you can't get her out of weakness, you'd better solve the curse in Granger within half a month-"
"When will Miss Granger come to her senses, Severus?"
Dumbledore finally stepped out from behind his desk.
"Not to say, Headmaster Dumbledore," Severus shook his head, "but before she overdrew her magic, I guess Miss Granger will probably be in a coma for a day or two—"
"Dumbledore, Amosta—"
Amelia said worriedly,
"You see, if you need to transfer Miss Hermione Granger to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries, there are more specialized and well-staffed people for the treatment of magical injuries. Don't worry about her safety, I can send the Aurors to protect her while she's in the hospital—"
"Oh, that's a great idea!"
Fudge glanced at Amelia appreciatively and said happily,
"Besides, the Ministry of Magic can cover the full cost of her treatment!"
Amosta observed the situation inside Hermione, and when Severus's potion began to work, wisps of active golden magic quickly seeped into Hermione's body and lodged the cursed arm, and built a tight defense, after he withdrew the magic to suppress the curse, the dark cloud tried to touch the curse, but was burned and shrunk back as if it had encountered a natural predator.
At the same time, the nourishing ingredients in the potion were rejuvenating Hermione, and her breathing was a little soothing.
If Amosta plans to stay at Hogwarts and let the Ministry of Magic deal with this matter next, then he will definitely keep Hermione by his side, but since he is going to investigate himself, then it would be a good thing to keep Hermione away from her Hogwarts classmates for a short time, thinking about it, Amosta looked at Dumbledore.
"I'm on the same page as you, Amosta-" Dumbledore breathed heavily, but didn't object.
Now, it's time to discuss the cause of Hermione's attack.
Hermione's bedside was filled with the fan letters she had received along with the package, and Amelia walked over, picked up a few, and looked through them with a calm face.
"It's all letters from wizards who favor Miss Granger--"
After a moment, Amelia looked away from the letter,
"I know that even in the Ministry, there are some people who are very respectful of Miss Granger's performance in the first event of the tournament, and the corresponding Amosta, Dumbledore, and Miss Granger have been attacked, I think a Muggle-born, the student at school is unlikely to provoke the Dark Wizard, let's see if this is possible one of the other three warriors. An extreme fan."
Amosta knew that what Amelia was really trying to say was that the other three warriors were the other three warriors who had an obvious conflict of interest with Hermione at the moment, and whether Hermione's attack had something to do with them.
Cedric and Fleur, Amosta is sure they won't do such a thing, and Krum, at least Karkaroff behind him, no one dares to vouch for him.
"This matter needs to be investigated to find out, Amelia, there is no point in blind speculation-"
Amosta didn't want to pretend he knew everything, it was indeed the most unprepared thing he had been in the year or two since he returned to Hogwarts, and even now, he had no reliable guesses.
The three members of the Ministry of Magic are gone.
Cornelius Fudge looked so embarrassed when he left the fireplace that he couldn't wait to leave Hogwarts. He may be glad that Amosta Bryan didn't dwell on it, but when he comes to his senses, he will surely feel that it was a humiliating visit.
Dolores Umbridge, on the other hand, glanced at Amosta with a sinister look before entering the fireplace, a heavy loss for her.
Due to the situation, she had to break her wrist, but she kept this matter firmly in mind, and if she had the chance, she would make Brian pay!
The launch of a project to increase the team of strikers will undoubtedly crowd out the interests that belong to her, and Amosta has confirmed that Hermione Granger has been attacked, and her named Department of Magical Traffic will have to bear some responsibility. In order to give Hogwarts an explanation, she had to divest the rights of the Transportation Division from herself as soon as possible.
"I understand your anger very well, Albus, Amosta-"
When Amelia was the only one left, she said more like a friend,
"But we all know we're going to face a bigger threat, so--"
Amelia didn't say the rest of the story, but the meaning was clear, she didn't want the matter to expand.
Dumbledore used Fawkes to escort Hermione to St. Mungo, and the only ones left in the Headmaster's office were Amosta and Severus.
At noon, the sun hung high.
Amosta, who was standing by the small window, saw Madame Maxim walking towards the castle with her students, and the ghost ship by the Black Lake, and at about the same time, Karkarov also stepped off the boat.
It's unlikely to be a coincidence, but they were all reported at about the same time.
Amosta looked at the two teams of people who were walking in a hurry, his face expressionless.
"Calm down, Amosta-"
Severus knew Amosta too well, he knew that although he was silent, his heart was actually filled with anger, Severus frowned, looked at Amosta's side face and said.
"I'm calm—"
Amosta turned his cheeks, his calm tone and a faint smile, silently revealing a killing intent that made Severus's heart tremble,
"I'm just confused. Didn't the person who was confused about the consequences of this, or did he not fear Hogwarts revenge? ”
