Dumbledore raised his glass to Augustus in the teacher's seat, and almost everyone in the auditorium stood up to toast Augustus.

Once everyone was seated again, Dumbledore continued, "The purpose of the Triwizard Tournament is to enhance and promote mutual understanding in the wizarding world. Given what's happening now – given Voldemort's resurrection – this connection is more important than ever. ”

Dumbledore looked at Lady Maxime and Hagrid, Fleur Delacour and her Beauxbatons alumni, and Victor Krum and Durmstrang at the Slytherin table. Krum looked nervous, even a little scared, as if he thought Dumbledore was going to say something harsh.

Augustus bowed slightly, in times of war, no matter how strong the enemy is, the first and most important thing is internal unity, at this time, to unite all the forces that can be united, to trust each other, and to unify the contradictions with the outside world is the most important means of checks and balances for a qualified politician.

"Every guest in this auditorium," said Dumbledore, his gaze resting on Durmstrand's classmates, "is welcome whenever he wishes to return." I'll say it to all of you again - given Voldemort's resurrection, we will only be strong if we are united, and if we are divided, we will be vulnerable. Voldemort was clever at creating conflict and hostility. We can only fight it to the end if we show the same unbreakable friendship and trust. As long as we have the same goal and open our hearts, differences in habits and languages will not be an obstacle. ”

The train had already arrived, and in the midst of the crowd, Augustus dragged his suitcase through the dense flow of people.

boarded the train, found a carriage with no people, walked in, put the luggage away, sat on the chair, took out a copy of the famous wizard calendar of the 19th Lu world, and read it casually.

There was a knock on the outer door of the carriage, Augustus raised his head, and Qiu Zhang's quiet face came into view.

"Mr. Augustus, long time no see." Walking into the carriage with her luggage, a smile appeared on Aki's face.

Augustus nodded slightly, "I didn't expect so many things to happen in a simple competition, I only saw you on the eve of the competition, but now that I think about it, it seems to have been a long time ago." ”

Qiu sighed softly, "Even in school, in a place where you think you are an ivory tower, there are such vicious calculations, lurking shadows, perhaps, we will all grow up after all, facing the adult world, deceitful and deceitful, wearing different masks, for the sake of illusory interests, in the heart, the most innocent place will slowly wear away with time, and the most despised may not even remember what his original purpose was." ”

"The world is not a child's fairy tale, naïve and sloppy, after all, it will gradually grow old, leaving us only the cruelty of the law of the jungle, for the weak, no one will sympathize, the beautiful and the future, will only be left to the strong." Augustus smiled lightly.

Qiu Zhang's expression was slightly gloomy, for a girl living in the fantasy world, the truth may be a little too realistic and cruel.

"What Voldemort did, in fact, to some extent, is not wrong, he just made the real side of the world more clearly for everyone to understand, history is written by the victors, if the most victorious side is the Death Eaters, those who survive will eventually live under the new rules."

"In this case, what is the use of our efforts and struggles, if the Dark Lord rules everything, the power and truth of the world can only be in the hands of pure blood, a person's origin and bloodline do not represent nobility, strength and dignity, it should come from pure quality." Autumn had a serious look on her face.

"Ha Luha, that's right, in my opinion, bloodline is just a tool for a group of weak people to cover up their weakness for themselves, and the real strong will never pay attention to the so-called bloodline background, and their own strength will always be the foundation of this world." Augustus chuckled casually.

Qiu Zhang smiled knowingly, "If the wizarding world really wants a person to be the spiritual leader, I would rather be you, compared to those politicians who are sanctimonious and only regard politics and partisan struggle as the first priority, your purity and ideological realm are really much higher." ”

Augustus smiled slightly bitterly, not in his position, not in his own business, sometimes, in a position, the pressure to be faced and all aspects of trivial matters, absolutely not others can be vain, officialdom has always been a big dye vat, no one can get out of the mud without staining, once into the rivers and lakes, involuntarily, want to be alone, perhaps, only when the force is strong enough to change the world. Even as a legend and the chief mage of the empire, he is just a slightly more important pawn among all living beings.

Outside the window, there are constantly flashes of green **, the vast blue sky, and the sky is cloudless.

The train slowly stopped at King's Cross Station.

Augustus and Autumn walked slowly down from the train.

Aurora had been waiting on the platform for a long time, and when she saw the two of them, she stepped forward slightly.

"This is Qiu Zhang, right? I only met at school last month. Aurora smiled and greeted Akihari, completely leaving Augustus aside.

"Hello aunt," Qiu Zhang replied politely, "although a short time has passed, I still remember you very clearly, and it is difficult for people to forget a mother with such an outstanding temperament as you." ”

Aurora had a smile on her face, "If you have time during the holidays, you can come to Julius Manor as a guest, Augustus's father and I like you quite a lot, and you are welcome at any time." ”

Augustus pursed his lips slightly, as if he had no sense of existence at all now, well, the two of you continue to perform the harmonious relationship between the two women, and I will not accompany you. Leave your luggage in the back and head straight away.

Aurora turned her head to look at Augustus' back and said embarrassedly, "This man is so rude. If you have the chance, you must visit the manor. ”

Qiu Zhang nodded lightly and said with a smile, "Well, then Aunt will see you again." Then he shouted to Augustus, "Wait for me, Mr. Augustus, and I will come back to see you during the holidays." ”

Augustus waved his hand behind him with his back and slowly faded into the crowd, his figure blurring.
