Hogwarts Mystery Sequence

In the study room, it suddenly became quiet.

Old Nott was originally confused by the Sphinx portrait because of the thoughts in his mind. His brows were tightened, and there was a suppressed irritability between his brows. His thin lips were tightly pressed together, and his breathing gradually Thick and heavy, as if it would explode in the next moment.

But then the room suddenly became quiet.

This made him feel a little stunned, as if he didn't understand what was happening.

By the time he slowly reacted, the anger in his heart had completely dissipated.

At this moment, Old Nott felt so empty in his heart that he couldn't even remember what he was thinking about just now.

He raised his hand to rub his forehead, and after a second, he remembered everything again.

Immediately, he raised his head somewhat suddenly and looked at the portrait of the Sphinx, who was suddenly silent.

But they found that the ancestor of the Knott family in the portrait was motionless, but there was still obvious surprise on his face, as if he suddenly paused in the process of becoming very excited.

Suddenly, Old Nott's back felt a little cold, and an inexplicable feeling of horror hit his heart.

It's like you are watching a person talking in front of you, his expression freezes in the blink of an eye, and he becomes a marionette-like existence.

At this time, fear was like the instinct of life, uncontrollably pouring out from the bottom of my heart.

Old Nott's neck was a little stiff and he turned his head to look at Amon, who was sitting opposite him.

Then he saw Amon's posture was leisurely, with a smile on his lips, like a tourist in an art gallery, looking at the Sphinx portrait with admiration.

Old Nott took a deep breath slowly and unconsciously shouted in a soft tone:

"Amon."

Amon turned to look at Old Nott without changing his expression, adjusted the monocle on his right eye, and said with a smile:

"I think this environment is more suitable for our peaceful conversation, isn't it?"

Old Nott's eyes wandered subconsciously and he held his breath slightly.

He didn't know if Voldemort's sudden appearance was the reason for his panic.

In short, he felt more and more that the Amon in front of him looked like the powerful and unruly Dark Lord.

Thinking of what the Dark Lord did in the later period, Old Nott felt a little shuddering.

Although he hopes Amon will revitalize the Nott family, but if it is done in that way...

What's more, the Dark Lord has probably returned now, hiding in some dark corner like a poisonous snake, waiting for the next fatal blow.

If Amon jumped out at this time, he would inevitably be targeted by the Dark Lord.

Therefore, Old Nott actually hoped that Amon could hibernate first.

On the one hand, it temporarily avoids Voldemort's limelight, and on the other hand, it also buys more time to develop.

Thinking of this, Old Nott calmed down again, turned his eyes back, and began to consider his words.

At this time, Amon suddenly asked:

"Father, what was the outcome of the Ministry of Magic meeting?"

Amon's words interrupted Old Nott's thoughts, but this time Old Nott was not angry at all because he thought this was a good entry point.

As for why he was not curious about how Amon knew about his attendance at the Ministry of Magic meeting, it was because this was what he asked house elf Bernie to tell Amon.

"Although this Ministry of Magic meeting deviated greatly from expectations, the final result was not bad." Old Nott sighed with emotion when he thought about what happened at the Ministry of Magic meeting.

"Sounds interesting?" Amon asked with interest.

Old Nott was stunned for a moment, thought for two seconds and then replied:

"Oh, of course, that's really interesting."

After saying that, Old Nott smiled and shook his head. The panic in his heart weakened a lot, and he seemed more relaxed.

Amon waited for Old Nott's continued description with a smile on his face and said nothing.

Old Nott paused, seeming to be hesitating, but after a few seconds, he continued:

"I think you should be very aware of the 'Savior' thing that is passed down from wizard to wizard, understand the reason why the Wizard War suddenly ended more than ten years ago, and even better know what role I played in that Wizard War. ,Yeah?"

As he spoke, Old Nott's expression became somewhat serious.

Amon nodded nonchalantly, but still didn't speak.

Old Nott crossed his fingers, rubbed his thumbs together twice, and said in a very serious tone:

"Now, 'Mysterious Man' is back!"

When he just decided to say this, Old Nott was guessing what kind of reaction Amon would have.

But Amon's reaction far exceeded his expectations.

Because Amon just nodded casually and then didn't react at all!

Old Nott was stunned and didn't know how to continue.

Seeing this, Amon straightened his crystal monocle, smiled and said:

"Disordering one's position will only make the enemy more at home, and the gain outweighs the loss."

"Besides, since father, you can still sit here peacefully and the British magic world is not in chaos yet, it means that there is still room for relaxation, right?"

Old Nott was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then shook his head and said with a smile:

"If I were half as calm as you, many things might not be what they are now."

"You are right, the 'mysterious man' is now missing. None of us have even seen him with our own eyes."

"It does create an uncontrollable fear of his hidden vengeance, especially among those of us Death Eaters who once obeyed his orders."

"But it also gives us more time to weigh the pros and cons and reconsider our position."

Amon smiled and nodded, continuing to listen with interest.

Old Nott sighed and said:

"In the end, we chose to work with the Ministry of Magic."

"This choice is indeed very disgraceful to our pure-blood family, especially in front of those wizards who are idle in society."

"But we have to admit that in the atmosphere at that time, the fear planted in our hearts by the Dark Lord was shaken." Old Nott looked a little dazed.

"Perhaps earlier, ever since the Dark Lord's accidental failure more than ten years ago, cracks have appeared in the shackles used by the Dark Lord to rule us."

"Of course, Dumbledore's presence has become the biggest weight."

"Haha, this time he no longer just shrinks in Hogwarts and doesn't care about the world."

After saying these words, Old Nott took a long breath and looked somewhat relieved.

In fact, this choice was not easy for him or other pure-blood families.

Because for them, interests are not just things like social status or gold galleons, but more importantly, the inheritance and glory of the family!

Let them put aside their pure-blood pride and cooperate with those miscellaneous wizards. They would rather kowtow to the Dark Lord!

At least the Dark Lord's strength is the highest in the wizarding world, and he is also considered to be from a pure-blood family.

But in that situation in the halls of the Ministry of Magic, they had no choice but to make the "right" choice.

Therefore, Old Nott always felt very ashamed in his heart.

However, this shame disappeared like a cloud after seeing the calm posture of Amon.

Because at this time, old Nott realized that this humiliation was only temporary, and Amon would eventually lead the Nott family to the pinnacle of glory and become the authority in the British magical world!

This is a long-cherished family wish passed down from the generation of Cantanquelus Notte.

Cantanklus Nott devoted his life to making the Nott family truly integrate into the British magical world and become leaders. The "Pure Blood Directory" is his final result.

After all, the fact that the names of the British wizards and nobles could be openly included and widely recognized was enough to prove the authority and social status of the Nott family at that time.

But that level of authority alone is not enough.

Nott deserves a higher status!

And now, this vision is almost coming true in front of Old Nott's eyes, by his son!

Thinking of that scene, Old Nott even began to subconsciously think about how to help Amon gather his initial team.

'Avery and Rolle are good choices, but they seem to be in a worse mood than me. Today they all look like their home has been stolen...'
