Chapter 178: The Sin of Arrogance
The ball is approaching, it's getting late, and tomorrow is the Christmas dinner. At this time, Augustus was still sitting leisurely by the window of the library, about to usher in the ball, the library was long gone, and Augustus was the only one sitting alone in the huge library. Outside the window, a white goose feather snow covered the entire school like fog, and the sea of snow extended to the inside of the castle, and countless ice sculptures the size of a shuttle were crystal clear on the window edge. Augustus held an old book carved with purple flowers in his hand and quietly turned the pages.
The door of the library was opened from the outside, and there was a dull knocking sound, Augustus frowned slightly, raised his head, and outside the door, a young girl with long pale blonde hair and silver-gray eyes stood in the doorway, with a hint of surprise on her face.
The girl walked in, looking in a trance, as if her appearance anywhere was accidental, "Eh, there are actually people here at this time, I followed the harassment flies all the way, have you seen them?" ”
Augustus' eyes revealed a hint of strangeness, "What is a harassing fly?" "With his erudition, he has never heard of this species at all.
The girl thought for a moment, as if thinking about how to describe them, "Well, by the way, these things are invisible, I'm afraid you won't be able to detect them even in front of you." But they're actually very dangerous, they can float into people's ears and mess up people's brains. Originally, Fudge was ready to use an army of harassing flies to snipe the Dark Lord's Death Eaters. ”
Augustus touched his nose and sighed regretfully, "It's really lonely, I didn't expect there to be such a magical bug in this world, interesting, really interesting." ”
The girl looked at him in surprise, "Do you believe in the harassment of the fly?" Almost none of my classmates approve of them, but they do exist. ”
Augustus smiled slightly, "Of course I believe it, why not?" There are so few things in this world that we can trust, and sometimes, many of them are just blinded. ”
The girl smiled childishly, "I knew you must be different from them, Mr. Augustus. ”
The corners of Augustus' mouth outlined the arc of a smile, "It's not fair. You know my name, but I don't know anything about you. ”
The girl had a shy look on her face, "My name is Luna and I'm in Ravenclaw. Year 3"
Augustus nodded, "Luna, moonshine?" Pretty good. ”
"What book are you reading? Is it about the preparation of the second project? It doesn't seem like much time is left until the second project. Luna walked up to Augustus lightly and tilted her head cutely to look at the book in Augustus' hand.
On the title page, the purple title of "Chapter 13 of the Song of Ayohan" pops onto the page.
"It's about the seven deadly sins of this world religion, and it's quite interesting to read, so I'll read it patiently." Augustus waved his hand casually and smiled.
Luna continued with interest. After the title, a row of blood-red words came into view.
I'm afraid I'll be alone, and I'm afraid you'll betray
The place above the rainbow is my paradise
That's not heaven, it's just a hiding of self-deception
I am heaven under the rainbow
What is hell and what is heaven
This is my hell, it doesn't mean it's not your paradise
The east of Eden is bred **, and the banks of the Santu River are planted with sorrow
Manzhu Shahua, the blood-colored demon seeps out of desolation
Manju Sawa is love, not sin
On the other side of the river, it is obviously missing
Lethe River is a catastrophe that cannot be overcome
The memory of a thousand years of sleep is not worth a moment's **
It is better to be a king in hell than a minister in heaven
This is your last vow
What is arrogance
The pride of God's mouth is the faith of your heart
That's your paradise
Where is my paradise?
From love begets sorrow, and from love begets fear
There is no fear from love, and there is no fear from love
I am not afraid of sorrow, I am not afraid
Medusa's Eye
I can't hold back my hope for you
It is more than looking up
- He came alone from the holy
Towards eternal immortality
"What a beautiful mood," Luna's silver-gray pupils were amazed.
"This is a Muggle book, in fact, whether it is a wizard or a Muggle, there are some things that can always touch the deepest part of the heart." A hint of emotion appeared at the corner of Augustus's mouth.
"Can you lend me this book? I think I can continue to look at it when I go back," Luna looked at Augustus with anticipation in her eyes.
Augustus handed the book to Luna, "Tomorrow is the ball, remember not to read it too late." ”
Luna took the book with the purple flowers in it, her eyes full of happiness and satisfaction, "Then Mr. Augustus should rest early, goodbye, trustworthy brother." ”
Augustus smiled and shook his head, watching Luna drift away.
In the corridor of the castle, Potter was nervously calling out the pretty figure that often appeared in his dreams.
"Hmm-Qiu-Zhang? Can I tell you a word? ”
The law should prohibit giggling, Harry thought angrily, as the girls around Cho Chang giggled. Luckily, Cho Chang didn't laugh. She said "yes" and followed Harry to a place where her classmates couldn't hear her.
He couldn't ask her. He couldn't. But he had to ask. Cho Chang stood there, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
The words came out of Harry's mouth, incoherently, without having time to pronounce the words.
"Be with me?"
"I'm sorry, what did you say?" Qiu Zhang asked.
"Y-would you like to come with me to the prom?" Harry asked. Why did he blush? Why?
"Well, Harry, I'm really sorry," she looked at him apologetically, "and I've already said I'm going with someone else." ”
"Is that so?" A deep sense of powerlessness enveloped Harry, and he mustered up the last of his strength before asking, "Who are you going with?" ”
A hint of blush appeared on Qiu Zhang's fair face, and there was a bit of shyness in her eyes that Harry had never seen before, "Well, it's Augustus, Augustus Julius." ”
Harry didn't know how he got back to his dormitory, and he was groggy all the way, as if the whole world had abandoned him, and he slowly walked back to the Gryffindor common room upstairs, and with each step, Cho Zhang's voice echoed in his ears: "Augustus, Augustus Julius." ”
Yes, what is he, what can he be, Augustus is a true warrior, a true leader of Slytherin, personable and powerful. Harry Potter, the boy who never died, the imposter warrior, a so-called Seeker, in which way, by what means, can compete with him for Akihari. A glimmer of tears gradually slipped from the corners of his eyes, tears slipped into his mouth, bitterness filled his mouth, Harry shook his head vigorously, looked at the Gryffindor lounge in front of him, rubbed his face, put on a fake smile, and stepped inside.
