Chapter 112 Making the Badge of the Wisdom Beacon

The leading man in black robe ran away. Although it was a pity, that was all.

Hughes returned to the scene of the incident, collected the two lifeless bodies, and was about to return to the castle.

A tall and strong unicorn walked towards him, with more than a dozen of its kind behind it, watching from a distance.

One of them had bloodstains all over his neck.

Hughes looked towards it, and it raised its head and neighed.

The unicorn stopped a few meters in front of Hughes. This was the king of the unicorn tribe. Hughes saved his people tonight and came here to thank him.

Look at its appearance, even though he can't speak human words, Hughes also understands its meaning.

The Unicorn King took two tentative steps forward. Seeing that the human did not make any drastic moves, he put down his guard and walked up to Hughes.

It lowered its high head and stretched out its horns to convey goodwill and gratitude to Hughes.

Because of the legend, Hughes did not touch its horn, but stretched out his hand to stroke its soft hair and pat its neck.

Unicorns have certain intelligence, and after communicating with them spiritually, Hughes said goodbye to them and left.

Back at the castle, Hughes found Snape.

Take out two bodies from the storage ring.

"This is Nott and Avery... They are both the backbone of the Pure-Blood Alliance, and they are also Death Eaters."

Snape murmured.

They used to be considered his friends.Goodbye, but it was this scene, Snape yelled that fate was a show.

"Old Nott's son... is a new student enrolling this year."

"Although Old Nott is a loyal supporter of that man, you can't..."

Hughes knew what Snape meant.

As a matter of favor, he wanted to say sorry to Snape, but it was never as simple as a favor.

In that situation at that time, coupled with the opposing lineups and other reasons, how could Hughes have the kindness of a woman.

And he never struggled with this kind of problem.

It can only be said that different ways do not work together.Regardless of his position, he was martyred for his own choice. Even as an enemy, Hughes could only say: die well-deserved, seek kindness and be kind, that's all.

"The thing is very clear. Voldemort has already started taking action in the school. You have to inform Dumbledore and ask him how long he will be hanging around outside? It's just the Ministry of Magic. Solve the problem quickly... I'm also very busy here. .”

Snape was a nostalgic person, and he was remembering his old friends at the moment, so he just nodded in agreement to Hughes' words.

Seeing him like this, Hughes had no choice but to collect the two bodies again.

Although this move was quite cruel to Snape, the long-term pain was not as good as the short-term pain.

He didn't even look at Snape's angry look, said goodbye, and ran away.

Returning to the dormitory, he went into the suitcase and destroyed the two remains.

At this point, no one except Snape and the Pure Blood Alliance knew what happened tonight.

Snape definitely couldn't report him for killing someone, even though the other person was a Death Eater.

As for the Pure Blood Alliance, even if they knew that Hughes had killed one of their members, they did not dare to make it public.

First of all, when Hughes cast the spell, he didn't use a wand at all. Even if they reported it, the Ministry of Magic would use the flashback spell to check, but there would be no evidence.

Secondly, what they are doing is illegal. Unicorns symbolize light and purity in the wizarding world and are not allowed to be harmed privately.

Perhaps because he was frightened by Hughes, in the past half month, he had not heard from Hagrid about anything similar happening in the Forbidden Forest.

However, he heard from Snape, a frequent visitor to Knockturn Alley, that a mysterious man had recently appeared on the black market and was buying unicorn blood at a premium.

Of course, Hughes was fine with this kind of thing. As long as he didn't come to Hogwarts to mess around, he didn't care.

Recently, Hughes' daily life has returned to its previous calm state.

It’s fast approaching Halloween, and Christmas isn’t far behind.

As usual, every night after the curfew started, Hughes, Jody, and Bobby would go to the Room of Requirement to participate in Beacon of Wisdom activities.

By chance, they met Harry and Ron in the basement tonight, and they were both very surprised.

Gryffindor Tower is still quite far from the basement.Generally speaking, not many students who travel at night will come here.

When Ron and Harry met Hughes here, it was like a mouse meeting a cat.

Ron and Harry have both kept a low profile since the last incident, but they have never come forward to apologize because of their pride.

As a result, I escaped the first grade of junior high school, but not the fifteenth grade.

It would be okay if we met during the day. There would be students everywhere in the castle, so we wouldn't be as embarrassed as we are now.

They both had a sour feeling of having done something bad and been caught red-handed.

Jody asked viciously, "What are you two doing here?"

Ron hid behind Harry, "We were invited by Sir Nearly Headless to come to the kitchen for a Halloween party."

The three of them recalled that the ghosts in the castle during the day were indeed more excited than before. After hearing Ron say this, they finally understood.

This scene coincides with the scene in his memory, Hughes said with emotion.

"Ah, where did the time go?"

"Time flies! It seems like nothing has been accomplished. The school year is almost halfway over."

Bobby was curious: "Xius, have you ever attended a ghost party?"

Hughes shook his head. He knew very well that Bobby was itching, so he advised: "Don't think about it. I guarantee that as long as you go to participate, you will regret it."

When Harry heard what Hughes said, he was about to ask why when Ron tugged at his clothes from behind.

Hughes glanced at them both condescendingly, then walked away without saying a word.

Of course Jody and Bobby followed closely behind.

Harry and Ron could only say "goodbye" timidly, and then respectfully watched the three Hughes leave.

Ron took a big breath: "Huh, the aura is so strong. I almost can't breathe."

Harry rolled his eyes at him and said, "It's not because you are too angry. Otherwise, if we went to Emma and Hermione to apologize, Hughes wouldn't do this to us."

"I saw that he was very kind when communicating with other students."

"I...I, what am I apologizing for? I was under a spell, and I was controlled by someone, so it's not my intention to say bad things about him. Besides, it was his sister who struck first. Didn't you see that I was beaten? What happened?"

"Ah~"

"Whatever you want! I'm really in trouble because of you. Not to mention Emma, ​​even the other students still look at me strangely."

"I know too...but, I can't hide my face."

"Hey, why would he say that attending a Halloween party will make people regret it?"

"How do I know if he said the mean words on purpose? After all, he has never participated."

The two of them pushed open the kitchen door while arguing.

Today is a grand festival for ghosts. They have all arrived a long time ago. After the two living people came as requested, the party started not long after.

But everything that happened after that made Harry and Ron know why Hughes said: "As long as you participate, you will definitely regret it."

The environment in the basement is inherently humid.In addition, a large number of ghosts gathered in the kitchen, making the temperature extremely cold.

The two living people were shivering from the cold and had to chat and laugh with the ghosts.

Apparently, they didn't notice that there wasn't even a house elf in the kitchen.

Just because they all have experience, they don't need the ghosts to give orders.After preparing the meal, the house elf immediately came out and temporarily lent the kitchen to the ghosts.

And Ron's food dreams were shattered again tonight.

He thought that when he came to the kitchen for extra meals, he would definitely be able to enjoy magical food, but what greeted him was a table of ordinary, cold meals.

He touched Harry and handed him a piece of bread harder than a brick.

The latter could only eat Coptis chinensis dumbly and grit his teeth to tear it apart. Who asked him to invite Ron?

The two were hungry and laughed with the ghosts in the cold kitchen all night before sneaking back to the dormitory.

The other roommates are all asleep

"Harry, Harry~"

"what happened?"

Lying in bed for a long time, the two of them talked softly through the air.

"I am starving!"

"Stop talking and go to bed quickly. You won't feel hungry when you fall asleep."

"But, I couldn't sleep just because I was hungry."

"..."

This was getting to the point. I didn't know if they regretted attending the party tonight. Anyway, Harry didn't want to pay attention to him, so he closed his eyes and tried to sleep.

As a result, "Gu~"

I don't know if it was Harry or Ron's stomach that started to rebel.

On the other side, there is a room where everyone can ask for help.

The development of the Lighthouse Group is already on track, as word spread among students that the study group is no longer confidential.

Members therefore discussed and believed that relevant rules should be improved for the Lighthouse Study Group. For example, when the study group operates at night, they need to wear uniform clothing that is different from the school uniform, wear special badges, etc.

Although uniforms in schools bring many benefits to management, they can also easily cause students to lose their personal characteristics.

Teenagers are at the age when they are pursuing individuality, so this proposal was approved by everyone.

Wearing the unique badge of the Lighthouse team during the day and changing into clothes different from the school uniform at night, other students passing by will definitely attract attention.

That scene made them emotional just thinking about it.

To this end, Hughes decided to pay for it and asked Jody to write a letter and drag the family to buy materials in Diagon Alley, so that the study group could make their own costumes and badges.

In the words of Hughes: "I am only responsible for sharing magic, and the development of the Wisdom Beacon requires everyone's joint efforts."

In recent days, they have been carrying out alchemy experiments in full swing.

We first discuss the styles of clothing and badges, then design the production plan, then produce samples, and finally select the final model from several sets of samples.

Tonight is the day when the badge will be finalized.

Each of them has designed a prototype and is waiting for Hughes to finalize it.

In the alchemy process, Hughes still has more say than them, and they are happy to let Hughes be the referee. After all, Hughes independently made an answer notebook in the first grade, right?

Cedric and others presented the badges one by one, and Hughes also commented on them one by one.

Velez's turn was a brotherly display.

"Xius, look, what do you think of this badge? Doesn't it look cool?"

When it comes to creativity, apart from Hughes, the twins are the most creative in the entire Hogwarts.

No, they showed the samples they made to Hughes.

The shape of the main body is similar to the Rouleau triangle, with three intersecting circles on the outside. The material is mainly magic gold, mixed with some mithril, crystal, dragon blood and other materials. The outermost periphery of the badge is embellished with some patterns and tricks.

The lighthouse symbol is engraved on the triangle, and a slogan: "Inherit magic and create civilization" is arranged under the lighthouse.

The three circles are engraved with runes, incantations and magic circles, each with its own function.

At first glance, it looks simple and majestic, but upon closer inspection, it becomes compact and compact.

With the help of a little trick, the surface of the golden badge shone like an exaggerated and luxurious Muggle toy. Only by feeling it with spiritual power could one know that it was an enchanted alchemy product.

"Look, we have reserved a lot of space on the back of this badge. In the future, each member can choose his or her favorite magic to be engraved on it."

Hughes expressed his approval of their work.

"Yes, this blank space can not only exercise your enchanting ability, but also allow the general badge to hide your personality."

With Hughes' approval, George and Fred were as happy as if they had won the jackpot.

There will definitely be more than just them in the study group in the future, and I think that all students who join the group will wear badges made by them.

How glorious is that?

While they were happy, the two brothers sat head to head, with their backs to the others, discussing how to show off like this at Hogwarts tomorrow.

Fred chuckled.

"Tomorrow we will pin the badge on the lapel of the school uniform, and then shake the robe when we meet people. Or walk around in front of them three times with your head held high? They will definitely be curious, and then we will explain it."

George knocked his brother on the head with his forehead.

"No, that would be too deliberate and would make us appear to be showing off."

Fred asked anxiously: "That's right, but how do we get others to take the initiative to ask about the badge?"

George held his hands and thought hard, and finally looked up to the sky and sighed: "Oh, it's so difficult! How can we do it naturally?"

Fred suddenly had an idea, "How about we learn from Hughes. When it comes to filling the cup, who else would it be?"

The two of them didn't know that their actions were not hidden at all, so Hughes and others listened to all their words.

Therefore, before the two idiots came over to ask him, Hughes refused angrily: "Don't ask me, I don't know how to fill the cup at all."

"Ah? Obviously you..."

Fred felt aggrieved. In his opinion, it was as natural and common for Hughes to fill a glass as drinking water. Why was he so unhuman?

"Too much is too much. Hughes is a cheapskate, a cheapskate, and a cheapskate refuses to teach us."

He finally got a chance to fill the cup, but Hughes refused to teach him. George was almost angry and cursed Hughes for being a sectarian. Apparently he was afraid that the young ones in the church would starve to death.

Hughes held his head in pain.

I don’t know what’s going on in study groups, but they have such magical power that they can even change people’s temperaments.

He was secretly infected, why hadn't he noticed George's crazy personality before?

There was really nothing he could do about the twins, and he finally felt a little bit of Mrs. Morley's pain.

Seeing his sweetheart so helpless, Penello scolded her with these words.

"Okay, you two childish devils, stop being so boring, okay?"

"How could Hughes be able to fill a cup? He is obviously so gentle... Don't embarrass him."

Who knew that George was still in high spirits and didn't even listen to her words. Instead, he hissed and ridiculed her.

Penello was not one to tolerate two childish people. When he got up, he gave them a blast with a blast until the two of them whined and begged for mercy.

Fred looked at his brother complainingly, "Why can't you control your excitement? I don't even know who you are booing. Are violent women so easy to mess with?"

George, who calmed down, could only give him an apologetic expression.

"Okay, now that the membership rules, clothing, and medals are in place, it's time for us to start accepting new members after Christmas comes back."

Hughes concluded, and tonight's activities ended here.

The next day, he found Emma and Hermione and asked them about their study progress.

"We have almost learned the first-year courses on our own."

"Then show it!"

The two of them demonstrated spells and transformations in front of Hughes one by one. Then Hughes asked them some questions about potions, herbal medicine, history, etc., and they all answered fluently. It seemed that they had really learned well.

Emma and Hermione were exposed to magic before the start of school, and they were exposed to extremely high-end Clow card magic.

During the summer vacation, while collecting Clow cards, I used the fragmented time to study Hogwarts courses on my own.

After enrolling in school, in addition to taking classes seriously, I often consulted professors after class.

Nowadays, it is not an exaggeration to be able to take most of a year's courses in just two months.

"Although you are already very good compared to your peers, I hope you will continue to work hard. In two months, after the Christmas vacation, I will introduce you to the Wisdom Beacon when you come back."

The little cuties looked at each other and smiled, feeling that the two months of hard work had not been in vain.

Hughes's affirmation is the biggest reward for them.

The study in the first grade is actually not as arduous as that in the senior grade, so many freshmen are either playing, making friends, or secretly going out at night like some people after class.

In the eyes of others, they have nothing like normal campus life.They studied silently just to follow in Xius' footsteps.

For some reason, Emma could always feel that her brother was eager for the future.

As a younger sister, she was considerate and didn't ask, she just worked hard silently, hoping that one day she could help her brother.

Because of her influence, so did Hermione.

After Snape contacted Dumbledore, he returned to Hogwarts not long after.

Hughes's peaceful daily life continued, and Dumbledore did not talk to him about that trivial matter.

……

Western foggy city.

Mick has been busy again recently. He thought that after his son and daughter started school, he and his wife could enjoy their world together.

But who knew that before Hughes left home, he handed him a copy of the "Backup Data of the Product Research and Development Center of Daodaoji Group" (earned from twenty consecutive draws) and asked him to lead the group in research and development.

The Nigel Group currently only has military debugging technology, which is for official products. In order to make up for the group's lack of pillar industries in the civilian sector, Hughes had to cheat his family's company.

No, Nicole had to be alone in the back garden, basking in the sun and drinking afternoon tea.

Little did they know that the Carter family was about to receive a wave of uninvited guests.

In the distance, a van.

Several armed men protected a researcher.A signal collection device is installed on the roof of the car, aiming at Carter Manor from a distance.

After a while, the researcher put away the device and said to the armed man next to him.

"Inform Chairman Matthew that the signal of Material Zero is very weak, and it is not sure whether it is still in the Carter Manor."

"So, we are ready to take action. We will arrest him first and then force him to interrogate him."
