Chapter 61: Valentine's Day
At breakfast on 14 February, everyone knew what kind of methods Lockhart was using to boost morale. All four walls are covered with large, dazzling pink flowers. To make matters worse, there were also heart-shaped confetti falling from the light blue ceiling.
Augustus walked through the auditorium to the Slytherin table, "What's going on?" He turned to Malfoy, who looked disgusted and pointed to the teacher's chair, apparently disgusted and unwilling to speak.
Lockhart, dressed in a bright pink robe that matched the ornaments, waved his hand to silence everyone. The teachers sitting across from him all had straight faces. Augustus could see from where he was sitting that a muscle on Professor McGonagall's cheek had protruded. Snape looked as if someone had just poured him a large glass of hard liquor.
"Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!" Lockhart exclaimed, "Forty-six people have presented me with greeting cards so far, and I want to thank them!" Yes, I took it upon myself to arrange this little surprise for you – and that's not all!"
Lockhart clapped his hands and strode through the doors leading to the foyer into twelve grim-faced dwarfs. And they were different from ordinary dwarves, Loha held them all with golden wings and harps on their backs.
"My friendly little Eros with a greeting card!" Lockhart said beamingly, "They're going to be wandering around the school today and handing you Valentine's Day cards!" And that's not all! I'm sure my colleagues are willing to take part in it! Why don't you ask Professor Snape to teach you how to make Ecstasy! If you're interested, Professor Flitwick is more proficient in mesmerizing magic than any wizard I've ever met, cunning old dog!"
Professor Flitwick buried his face in his hands. Judging by Snape's expression, it seemed that if anyone asked him how to make Ecstasy, they would be forced to inject poison.
The school was full of dwarfs who delivered cards, and every student who took the card was happy, looking around, and finally going to a corner where no one was around. To August's point of helplessness, the person who received the most cards seemed to be him at the moment, and the dwarfs frequently found him and roughly stuffed the cards into his hands, and estimated that he had received no less than seventy or eighty exquisite cards, and Loki was by his side, which seemed to be stained with his light, and he also received twenty or thirty cards.
"Here is a hymn of yours, Mr. Augustus, a message to the soundtrack." The dwarf spoke, plucking the harp with an aggressive stance.
The students passing by all stopped and watched this scene with great interest, obviously whether it is Chinese or British, this vice is not divided into countries. Augustus looked coldly at the dwarf in front of him, he was already a little impatient after receiving so many cards, and it was ridiculous to listen to any soundtrack at this moment. "I don't have time to listen to any messages, so please let me go." Augustus replied lightly.
The dwarf didn't seem to think that the two humans in front of him would hinder his mission, and reached out to grab the black robe of Augustus that was leaving. A hint of danger flashed in Loki's amber pupils, and he quickly took out his wand, and an ice-blue ray flashed, and the dwarf was frozen in place.
"It's just a reminder that if you do it again, you won't be so lucky next time." Loki's expression was cold, and a cold aura enveloped the surroundings, and most of the students around him instantly dissipated. Augustus shook his head and prepared to leave the place, the current school had been so smoky that Lockhart could not stay at all.
"Loki!" A call came from not far away, and Augustus and Loki looked back to see Percy running towards them, swaggering, "No magic in the hallway." I'm going to report on this, you know!"
"Hehe, the senior prefect of the Weasley family, you dare to me, don't you know that most of the school rules here are jointly set by the Addams family and Julius, do you think, you have the qualifications to use these rules to restrain me? It's ridiculous. Loki scoffed at what Percy said, not paying any attention to it.
"Anyway, it's really wrong to cast a spell in the corridor, you, after I report you to do this, Dumbledore will definitely not favor you because of your family. You'll have to wait and see. Percy got closer and found that it was Augustus who was with Loki, he glanced at Augustus with some fear, and shouted unluckily and reluctantly said to Loki, he didn't expect Augustus to be related to this matter, with Augustus's current influence in the school, he didn't dare to interfere too much in Augustus's affairs, but as a prefect, he must have a good face, so he had to barely hold on.
"Prefect Percy, this matter is indeed wrong with us, how about it." Augustus had a mild complexion and said lightly to Percy.
Percy nodded a little flattered, "Since Mr. Augustus said so, then forget it this time, Loki, and I hope there will be no next time." ”
Loki's expression changed slightly, he smiled disdainfully, and was about to speak, when Augustus waved his hand at him, and Loki could only swallow the words in his mouth.
"So, I took my leave." Augustus nodded to Percy, and the two turned away.
Percy looked at the departing two with a smile on his face, and said slightly, "This is the style of the heir of the big family, Loki's demeanor is too far from Augustus, if I can connect with the Julius family, it may be more beneficial to my future promotion." Percy mused as he muttered the words.
"Mr. Augustus, why don't you let me speak, that Percy is so arrogant, obviously he doesn't take us seriously, whether it is strength or family, why should we be afraid of him, this kind of person, he should be clearly aware of his position, otherwise it will not fall into the prestige of our family." Loki complained to Augustus with some depression, if it wasn't for Augustus just now, he even had the idea of teaching Percy a good lesson, although Percy was a few grades higher than him, but he was confident that Percy was not his opponent at all in the real battle.
"Loki, you still take the family's sense of honor too seriously, so it is likely to form a shackle in the future, trapping you in a certain realm, if you have a higher vision, you will know that sometimes you don't have to see people like Percy at all, too much intrigue, and your mind is spent on the family business, which will eventually affect your magic cultivation, sail against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, I hope you can recognize your true purpose, don't be confused by a lot of vanity, go straight to your heart, and see your soul clearly."
