Chapter 223: The Army of Julius
"Naturally, not to mention," Qiu's face was fixed on Augustus with a hint of resentment, "In last year's Goblet of Fire competition, Mr. Augustus killed the dragon and crossed the shore of the lake. β
"Yes," Fred said with a hint of fear and awe, "I was sitting in the front row of the first game, and when the huge dragon head hit the ground, it was facing me, even if it was such a powerful and terrifying dragon, it was only destroyed and the body was in a different place. β
"Actually, for me, the day of the second project was definitely the most unforgettable scene of my life," Ernie Macmillan sighed, "what is the purpose of learning magic, and Mr. Augustus has interpreted it with his actions, fighting against heaven and earth, nature, changing the natural world with his own power, and warping the laws formed by the great power of nature." That's how Mr. Augustus's magic really feels me! β
Augustus glanced at this young man who was not very familiar with him before, obviously, this young man has a high level of understanding, and can see the essence from the appearance, and he is also a good seedling.
"Anyway, obviously, we're all expecting you to come and teach us," Hermione paused slightly, her eyes full of anticipation, "Sure, you may be busy, but we don't need much time, just a day in a week, and a few hours of that time." For us, being able to truly grasp the meager power that can dominate us, rather than being a weak chess piece on the chessboard that is played by various forces, is the purest original intention in everyone's hearts. β
"That's right!" Susan Bones said softly with persistence, "Personally, I think it's more important for us to be able to learn something useful from Mr. Augustus to protect ourselves and others than anything else we're going to do this year, even the upcoming O.W.Ls exams!" β
There was a muttering of approval at the table, obviously, for many people to learn some useful magic from Augustus, who was usually high above the dragon and could not see the end of the dragon, it was really a great opportunity for many people, not to mention, even if they couldn't learn anything, being able to show their faces in front of Augustus was also a qualification that could be promoted to everyone in the magical world. Perhaps, after many years of graduation, playing the sign of Augustus's protΓ©gΓ© is probably definitely a noble identity and relationship.
Looking at the expectant eyes around him, Augustus's face was a little calm and indifferent, he suddenly smiled slightly, and said to everyone, "Tell me, what is the purpose of your study of magic?" β
Continuing the habit of the classroom, Hermione was the first to speak, "Although I was still a little confused about the future and the reason for learning magic when I first entered Hogwarts, I have lived here for so long and experienced so many things, and now I have a very firm goal. The reason why I studied magic is just to make my family's life better, to have the power to protect them, and to bring happiness to those around me. β
Augustus nodded, but it was similar to Hermione's personality.
Autumn wisps of chaotic green silk, looked at Lilian beside Augustus, and then looked at Augustus, and said seriously, "At first, I studied magic just because I liked it, for me, the mysterious spells and the hidden surprises around the school are the motivation for me to learn magic. β
"Now," Qiu sighed slightly, with a nostalgic smile in his pupils, "I just want to learn magic, so that person can look at me squarely, and not just as an ordinary stranger." β
Augustus's silver eyes flashed with a touch as he looked at Qiu, who was quietly staring at him, with a complicated expression on his face.
Harry forcibly held back a certain unwillingness and anger in his heart, and suddenly said in a loud voice, "Regarding the purpose of learning magic, I have never changed since I first came to Hogwarts, just to be able to kill a person with my own hands. β
There was a little uneasiness in the atmosphere, everyone knew who Harry was talking about, and Neville shrank slightly.
Luna's speech instantly broke the strange atmosphere of the scene, "The reason why I studied magic is to be a witness, and of course, to be able to stop Fudge from using his secret legion to destroy the wizarding world. β
"The Secret Legion?" Augustus' calm expression was defeated, and he looked at Luna with some blankness.
"Yes, he has an army of Heliopa." Luna said solemnly.
"Impossible." Hermione said unceremoniously.
"Wait, what's the Halyopa?" Augustus asked directly, in line with the principle of preferring to kill mistakes rather than let them go.
"They're fire spirits," Luna said, her bulging eyes wide open, making her look even crazier than usual, "fiery behemoths that rush across the earth and burn everything in front of themβ"
Augustus twitched the corners of his mouth, yes, Luna-san, who is obviously very talented, has never seen a real fire element, and can also describe it so realistically and movingly, it is really touching.
"They don't exist at all, Luna!" Hermione said scathingly.
"Oh, save zΓ i!" Luna said angrily. "I'm sorry, but what evidence do you have?" Hermione asked sharply. "There are a large number of eyewitness reports. Just because you're so unheard, you need everything to fit under your nose toβ"
"Ahem. Ahem," Ginny mimicked Professor Umbridge vividly. Several people looked around in surprise, and then laughed, "Mr. Augustus hasn't finished answering his question, so it's better to discuss the purpose and meaning of learning magic before it's too late." β
"Yes," Hermione said apologetically, as if realizing that the argument was a bit rude to Augustus, "I'm sorry, Mr. Augustus, we seem to be a little off-topic, so go ahead." β
Augustus suddenly waved his hand, with a faint smile on his face, "That's it,"
Hermione asked with some anxious remorse, "What about that?" β
"Well, what Luna said is very thought-provoking!" Augustus interrupted Hermione abruptly, "Since Fudge has such a legendary army of fire elves, and it is a secret weapon formed to destroy the wizarding world, how can we not guard against it. β
After a moment's silence, Augustus continued to assert, "I think it is necessary for this study group to be formed. I'm going to teach you some magic. In this way, this study group, named the Army of Julius, was formed to rebel against Fudge's secret army. In this way, even if it is discovered, I should be held responsible. β
