Chapter 211: New Members
The sky was darkening, dark clouds were filling, and the scarlet train was speeding all the way, and the shrill whistle resounded over the barren fields.
Augustus holds the magazine in one hand, and Fudge's title is intriguing.
"This isn't the first time," according to a Ministry of Magic insider, "Fudge's friends call him "Goblin Crusher" Fanich Fudge. If you can hear him talk when he thinks no one is eavesdropping, oh, he always says he's going to do something against the leprechauns; He's going to drown them, he's going to tear down their houses, he's going to poison them, he's going to make them pies......"
Yes, the editors of this magazine are indeed very tasteful, and they make pies from goblins, which sounds like a good look. Augustus smiled slightly and handed the magazine to Luna.
"Is there anything good in there?" Ron looked at Augustus.
"Of course not," Hermione said disparaging in a tone of reproach, "this magazine is complete rubbish, and everybody knows it. ”
"I'm sorry," Luna's voice suddenly lost that sleepwalking quality, "my father is its editor. ”
The scene suddenly fell silent, "I-oh," Hermione looked embarrassed, "okay...... It's kind of interesting...... I mean, it's ......."
"What Hermione means is that this magazine is actually very good, but most people don't understand it, well, although the readership is relatively small, but for those who know how to humor, this is indeed a very interesting magazine." Augustus said to Luna with a gentle smile on his face.
Hermione's eyes flashed with gratitude, and she whispered, "yes, maybe there's something wrong with my expression, but this magazine is really interesting. ”
Luna's complexion slowly softened, nodded slightly, and continued to turn the magazine upside down, covering her face.
Night falls, above the dark sky, there is no star, tonight is a moonless night, the train compartment is lit up with a faint yellow light, autumn open the chin, autumn water-like eyes from time to time swept over the quiet holding the ancient scroll Augustus, the field is as silent as ever, warm in the box, a trace of tranquil atmosphere surrounds.
Eventually, the train began to slow down, and they heard the usual noise one after another, everyone scrambling with their luggage and their pets, ready to get off the train.
Stepping out of the train, a hint of coolness hits, the sky is still a little drizzle, holding up a black umbrella, Augustus and Qiu walked on the lakeside path, the air is full of fresh earthy smell, and the cool mint smell unique to the rainy season, under the same umbrella, the soft breath of autumn, like the fragrance of the orchid.
Not far away, a lively woman's voice was shouting, "First graders, please line up here!" All first-year students come to me! ”
A lantern lit up the night, and coming from the lake was the female professor who had substituted for Hagrid last year.
"Why didn't Hagrid come, he didn't always do the job of welcoming first-year students." Autumn looked at Gepra in surprise in the light of the lantern.
"Probably Dumbledore has been given some important task again, you know, Hagrid has always been
The person he valued the most, now that Voldemort was resurrected, at such an important stage, Hagrid naturally would not deal with such trivial matters of picking up new students. Augustus groaned slightly.
Qiu Zhang nodded, "Well, it should be so, although Hagrid is more careless, but he is definitely more reliable in terms of loyalty." ”
Walk past the lake and the stone path leading to Hogwarts Castle comes into view.
A hundred carriages were parked side by side on the side of the road, and in the middle of the carriages, Thestrals stood quietly on the bluestone slabs.
They are very emaciated, with a black shell attached to the skeleton, and every bone is clearly visible. The wings protrude on either side, and the black leather-like wings make them look like they should belong to the category of giant bats.
Qiu noticed Augustus' eyes falling on the air in the middle of the carriage, and asked with some confusion, "What are you looking at?" ”
"Thestrals, an ominous creature." Augustus smiled slightly, "Isn't it very much like Professor Trelawney,"
Qiu glanced at the gap in the carriage suspiciously, "But, what about nothing?" ”
Augustus sighed slightly, "Actually, not being able to see is not a very good thing. ”
The carriage rattled and shook along the road. Passing the stone pillars carved with tall flying pigs on both sides of the Hogwarts school entrance, Hogwarts Castle approached, a tower full of small towers, all black and pointing to the black night sky, and on top of it there were windows shining brightly.
The carriage staggered as if drunken to a halt near the stone steps of the castle, facing the oak front door.
Augustus and Autumn disembarked from the carriage and followed the flow of people into the castle.
In the main hall, four long tables glittered under a starless black ceiling, just as they saw the night sky through the high windows. Candles floated in mid-air along the long tables, illuminating the silvery ghosts that dotted the halls, and the students chatted excitedly, exchanging news about the summer vacation, shouting hello to friends from other houses, and commenting on new hairstyles and robes.
Autumn says goodbye to Augustus at the Ravenclaw table.
"Here you are, Mr. Augustus." At the Slytherin table, Loki beckons to Augustus.
"Oh? Thor, the realm has improved a little fast, and there are only three stages of difference between him and Loki. Augustus approached and turned to Thor in surprise and surprise.
There was a hint of joy in Thor's dark blue pupils, "There will be more rainy seasons this season, and cultivation is often at this time, and the improvement will be very fast, compared to Loki's ice system, I have too many advantages, so there is nothing to show off." ”
Lilian said disdainfully, "On the surface, the content in your eyes betrays you, can you act well, as your senior sister, you really make me feel a lot of pressure?" ”
"Huh? Who's that guy in the teacher's seat? Malfoy suddenly pointed to the spot next to Dumbledore on the stage.
Dumbledore's head tilted toward a woman sitting next to him, who was speaking into his ear. She sat in a chair with short, curly mouse-like chestnut hair and a horrible pink Alice bow on top of her hair to match the pink cardigan she wore over her robe.
