Chapter 121: Blake's Purpose
Gryffindor has fallen into a sea of revelry at this time, not only to win the match against Ravenclaw, but importantly, Slytherin House has been deducted 100 points, although Augustus has added more points to Slytherin than the other three houses, but now the 100 points deducted has narrowed the distance between the four house scores, allowing Gryffindors to see the dawn of this year's House Cup.
"Mr. Augustus, this time I'm the one who has caused the Academy and everyone," Malfoy followed behind Augustus and the others, and stopped talking a few times, his gray-blue eyes filled with self-reproach, "I didn't expect things to come to this point, I just wanted to take a moment of Gryffindor's momentum, and I didn't expect Harry to have a way to deal with Dementors, if." ”
Augustus shook his head slightly, "Draco, you still don't understand, there are no ifs." Even if Harry were to be distracted by you today, yes, Gryffindor would indeed be completely disqualified from competing for the Quidditch Cup, and even the House Cup could be at the bottom of the tournament this year. But what do you get out of it? No Slytherin student will be honored by your actions, on the contrary, the whole school will have a personal contempt for you, and even have an opinion of our Slytherin house, intrigues, just a momentary stupid trick, if it is because of these trails that you have gained the value of self-realization in life, and indulged in how to use these despicable tricks to calculate others, I have to say, Draco, I am really a little disappointed in you. You really should do some self-reflection. ”
Malfoy's face flushed with shame, Augustus rarely openly expressed different opinions on their approach, and they have always been allowed to grow and develop themselves, now, Augustus's serious words are obviously really angry, Malfoy really didn't expect today's impulsive actions to lead to such consequences, even Dumbledore, Draco is only a little afraid, only Augustus, Malfoy is really as respectful as a mentor, so, Augustus's reprimand, Malfoy is really a little worried.
"Mr. Augustus, I will definitely seriously reflect on myself, this time I did such an unbearable thing simply because I was carried away by the envy of Harry's fire crossbow arrows, I promise, there will be no next time, such a thing, there will definitely be no second time." Malfoy swore his assurance, with sincerity and remorse in his eyes.
"It doesn't have to be like this," Augustus waved his hand, "after going back this time, I hope you can see the true cause and effect of this incident, instead of blindly just guaranteeing that there will be no next time, jealousy is indeed the original sin, but the reason why a person can get the success that others can't get is only because he can restrain the evil desires in his heart, so as to do things that are in line with the right path, if you can fully understand how to deny yourself and serve the Tao, and keep the righteousness, perhaps, you can reap the true growth." ”
Not only Malfoy, Loki, Saul and Lillian, there are a few hints of realization in their eyes, as the heir of Augustus, not only in terms of strength and strength that others can hardly achieve, in terms of human nature and morality, Augustus has also been teaching by word and deed, a truly perfect strong person must have his own true understanding and feeling of the righteous path, without the Tao in his heart, no matter how strong the strength is, it is just a tool for killing, This is why the Chinese Shaolin monks studied Buddhist scriptures in addition to martial arts.
Nothing was said all night. The next day, something big seemed to have happened at Hogwarts, and Sirius had once again broken into the castle, this time, not only roaming around the castle, but also into the quarters of the castle. He also managed to enter the Gryffindor dormitory. It has to be said that according to the rumors of the incident, Neville is said to have helped a lot this time, he wrote all the passwords for entering the dormitory for a week on a note, and then happened to fall outside, and Sirius obtained it, so Sirius was also happy to enter the Gryffindor dormitory for a visit.
The next day, wherever they went, they saw that security measures had been tightened: Professor Flitwick was holding a large picture of Blake and teaching everyone who was guarding the front door to recognize; Filch suddenly rushed back and forth in the hallway, and he threw the plank and nailed it to the small cracks in the walls to the rat holes. Sir Cadogan was dismissed. His portrait was put back on the lonely staircase on the eighth floor, and the fat lady returned. The fat lady was professionally repaired, but she was still extremely nervous, and her return to work was conditional: she had to be extra protected. A group of rough and rude gnomes were hired to protect her. They walked down the hallway at a menacing pace, muttering and comparing the size of the sticks in their hands.
Augustus and his party walked out of the Slytherin common room, and the new sights along the way showed that Dumbledore took the matter very seriously.
"It seems that Sirius must have been obsessed with something or someone in the school, otherwise he would not have been able to break into the castle twice in a row at such a time of noise, and this entry into Gryffindor also shows that what he cares about must belong to the group of lions cubs." Loki said with speculation that even they knew very little about Sirius's information, after all, Sirius was also from a pure-blood family, and his information was kept secret, so now everyone can only make preliminary inferences.
"Those Dementors have been a puddle of mud since they were last cleaned up by Mr. Augustus, and in their state of absence, Sirius may have swaggered past them and turned a blind eye." Lillian said casually.
Augustus walked in front of several people, and found that many Gryffindor students were whispering from time to time, and a few people stopped around the statue to discuss seriously, "This time we Gryffindor seem to have witnessed Sirius's own figure, it is said to be Ron of the Weasleys, strangely Sirius did not kill this person on the spot, but just fled face to face, it is really a bit weird, with his cruel means of blowing up an entire street in the first place, how could he let go of an unarmed student." ”
"You don't know what's going on, Sirius broke into the school just to revive the legendary treasure of the Dark Lord, it is said that it is hidden somewhere in the school, so he entered the castle for the mysterious person several times, since it is for treasure hunting, killing people will cause the school to react violently, naturally it is not appropriate to do it at this time, so ~~."
Warm sunlight in the corridors filtered through the patterned glass windows, elongating Augustus's slender figure, and spring seemed to be coming, and the air was already filled with the smell of grass.
