158 Chapter 156
After about 10 minutes, the residents of Hogsmeade probably transported all the wine barrels on the carriage into the underground wine cellar. After getting the wages, they did not leave, but let Mrs. Rosmerta go to the underground wine cellar. After drinking some drinks, they chatted and laughed in the bar.
Under such circumstances, it is not appropriate to discuss Black and the sins he once committed. Tonks and Amosta talked about the basilisk that was donated to the Ministry of Magic. According to Tonks, A few young men from the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control tried to make the basilisk a little more docile, but they almost died under the basilisk's fangs. Fudge was so frightened that he almost lost his soul, so he ordered the Aurors Stunning the Basilisk together until it is handed over to Mr. Twist Scamander.
Hearing this, Amosta showed a ridiculous expression.
The basilisk stayed well in the secret room, but after being fished out, it was first blinded by Dumbledore's phoenix, and then taught a lesson by Amosta's Fiendfire. After being handed over to the Ministry of Magic, he was able to live a stable life of "protecting animals" for a few days, but he was tossed by the Ministry of Magic again.
Now, the sun has risen to a conspicuous height, and the temperature in the air has risen rapidly, making people feel a little hot and dry.
boom!
Just when Amosta was about to ask Tonks about when the Ministry of Magic was going to retrieve the basilisk from Scamander, the crisp sound of apparition suddenly came from the street outside the window.
When the dust dissipated, a tall dark-skinned wizard appeared in the vigilant eyes of the two.
"Oh, bad!"
After seeing the face of the visitor, Tonks immediately panicked, and almost knocked over the table when he got up,
"It's over, I got into trouble, Amosta, I was too busy chatting with you, and completely forgot about the shift change. Next month's bonus is gone!"
The corners of Amosta's mouth twitched, and he didn't say anything. While Tonks was explaining to the dark-skinned wizard apologetically, he went to the bar and paid the proprietress.
"Hello, Mr. Blaine, it's an honor to meet you. Of course, you may not have heard of me. I'm Kingsley Shacklebolt, and I work in the Auror Office—"
In any case, it is always beneficial to have a decent identity on the surface. Amosta is not an official of the Ministry of Magic, but he is definitely a decent figure in the wizarding world with a Merlin Second Class Medal. Except for the high-ranking officials at the director level of the Ministry of Magic, most officials must face up to the rights of a holder of the Merlin Medal. In addition, Amosta has been a professor at Hogwarts for a period of time. Also very respectable position.
Not only have I heard of it, but I have also beaten it with my own hands - Amosta, who also extended his hand with a smile on his face, thought to himself.
"Hello, Mr. Shacklebolt,"
For polite people, Amosta does not reject communicating with them a few more words, he shook Kingsley's hand twice, and nodded his respects
"It's not 'never heard of', Mr. Shacklebolt, Tonks told me something about you just now. She said that you were her guide and taught her a lot of Auror skills. She has benefited greatly from—”
"Yeah, I thought she did grow a lot—"
Kingsley glanced at Tonks who was standing beside him with innocent eyes, and said in a calm voice,
"But now it seems that she still has a lot to learn. Do you know what I was thinking on the way here, Tonks?"
"Did you sleep in because you stayed up on patrol? Don't make that look, Kingsley,"
Tonks muttered, "It's just half an hour late. You know, when old classmates reunite, it's inevitable that we'll have to chat a little longer!"
"I wondered if you had already met Sirius Black, and the first news I heard when I walked into Hogsmeade was bad news."
Kingsley raised his chin slightly, and said calmly in a deep voice, the gold earring on one ear sparkled under the sunlight.
Looking at the embarrassed Tonks, Amosta smiled,
"You don't have to reprimand, Mr. Shacklebolt. As Tonks said, I delayed her work. If it bothers you, I can apologize."
Amostar's gentle attitude made Kingsley raise his eyebrows in surprise, and he felt a little more favorable in his heart. He thought that a veteran Auror with good strength who had fought against evil all his life would be rewarded. Even if the young wizard in his early twenties who couldn't get the Merlin Medal would not be rebellious, he must be proud, but now it seems that this person is much more graceful than he thought.
When both parties have some sense of identity with each other, the atmosphere of chatting immediately becomes much more relaxed.
Just like the Muggles in London love to discuss the weather, wizards in the wizarding world can always have a pleasant conversation about Hogwarts when they are not too familiar with it.
Whether it is Tonks or Kingsley, they have been out of school for some years, and they don't know Hogwarts as well as Amostar, so he is talking more, while Tonks and Kingsley listening.
"When I was at Hogwarts, the head of Slytherin was Professor Horace Slughorn, a very interesting old man, even after many years of retirement, there are many Slytherin graduates in the Ministry employees are still in touch with him”
Kingsley was considered Amosta's senior, which undoubtedly made the communication between the two of them smoother. After Amosta finished talking about the current situation of the professors at Hogwarts, Kingsley also talked to Amosta. Head of Slytherin House before Snape.
"Sorry, Mr. Blaine, we have to leave—"
At the end of the pleasant conversation, Kingsley glanced at the height of the sun, nodded at Amosta calmly and said, not caring about Tonks' little mistake.
"I'm probably going to stay at Grimmauld Place for a while. If you decide to stay in Hogsmeade, we can go to the Pig's Head Pub and have a good drink when I come back. I prefer the Flame Whiskey over there!"
Before parting, Tonks smiled happily and waved goodbye to Amosta.
"Grimmauld Place?"
Amosta blinked and asked subconsciously, "Where is that?"
"A run-down neighborhood in North West London, that's Bly. Oh!"
Tonks cast a quick glance at his immediate superior, and when he saw that the silent Kingsley did not express anger at her leaking the secret, he patted his chest and continued,
"Black's old house, we think this despicable criminal might want to go home and have a look, so we have been staring there. Of course, if Black really went back, we might not know."
I spent 12 years in prison at Hogwarts, and after I finally 'get out of prison', I might go home and have a look. This is a very reasonable inference. Amostar is not surprised that Aurors will do this, just.
"I don't know?" Amosta asked strangely, "But you have a group of people staring at that, aren't you?"
"It's not a simple house, Amosta,"
Tonks, who took out his wand and prepared to apparate, said seriously,
"That is the ancestral house of the Black family, which is protected by many ancient and powerful magics. We can only stare at the periphery, and we can't see the specific location of the house at all. Therefore, even if Black is hiding at home at this moment, we will no way"
