CHAPTER 10
BEYOND THE HORIZON
Julius was sitting on a bench outside the 'Wizard' section in Paris. Unlike the Muggle counterpart, the Wizard Paris wasn't all that flashy. It was just another large city, like Chicago or Dublin, but it wasn't anything extremely important. Julius, however, was there for one purpose- to catch his ride to the DADMG academy.
After the incident at Stonehenge, Julius and Cleo flew Coalmane to the Ministry. Cornelius Fudge, the minister of magic, was somewhat upset with the two, for they did not consult the ministry about this so they could send a professional team of Aurors to battle the deranged dark wizards. But when Julius told him that all the dark wizards were taken care of and that Attila was in their custody, he changed his mind and gave them a pat on the head for their actions to help better the Wizarding world.
When Attila was taken in, a doctor examined him, which was hard since he was wailing and screaming around. The doctor said that it was impossible that a Patronus could've done that damage, yet it did and she had living proof in front of her.
"I don't see how this could've happened", said the doctor.
"Maybe one of his parents was a Dementor", said Cleo. "He told me he was immune to their powers."
"Yes", said the doctor, "I know. However, it is physically impossible for a human to have sexual intercourse with a Dementor. Something must've happened in his childhood. Something tragic. Something so terrible that he forced himself to forget it so he could live his life in peace."
"Bitch!" screamed Attila. "You know nothing! Nothing! NOTHING AT ALL!"
"Well", said Cleo, "We'll just have to see if you're still immune to the Dementors anymore". Suddenly, Attila let out a blood-chilling scream, and the two walked away from him. Shortly after that, he was taken by a couple of Aurors to Azkaban, where he would spend the rest of his life. They said that his immunity was dulled by the Patronus, not destroyed, so one day, if he found the strength, he might be able to rid himself of Azkaban forever.
However, that wasn't Julius's concern. After those events, he flew Coalmane back to the Proctor's, where he and Cleo stayed a night. It was great fun for the both of them, especially since Cleo told Julius she would stay with him until he had to leave for the DADMG academy. After their wonderful day at the Proctors, the two traveled by Floo Powder back to the Leaky Cauldron, where Julius was forced to pay for the days he wasn't in there.
The three days at London were somewhat routine business for Julius. Cleo wanted to go shopping, which Julius agreed to go to Diagon Ally, which was next door to their hotel room. All of a sudden, Cleo got all feminine in the shops, since she wanted to try on every set of clothes and wanted to buy everything she saw, which gave Julius the largest headache he had in ages. He bought some stuff he would need for the Academy, but it was nothing to get excited about. However, he got excited when he saw the brooms in the broom store. He drooled at the window for about half an hour, but nearly had a heart attack when the price for the best broom was about twice the amount of life insurance his parents left him. However, the day went by and Julius didn't spend too much, but Cleo spent all her spending money. The next two days they just relaxed, packed, and went to the pub often. Cleo almost bought a dragon egg when she was offered one, since she always wanted a little lizard, but Julius stopped her. He just cringed at her thinking that the egg would hatch into a 'little lizard'.
So the days went by, and before he knew it he was checking out of the Leaky Cauldron and used Floo Powder to get to Wizard Paris. There they found the bus stop, sat down, and read 'The Daily Prophet' while waiting.
"I'm sorry for what I did to you at Hogwarts", said Cleo. "It's just that...."
"It's just that what?" asked Julius while putting his paper down.
"Your stay at Hogwarts made everything more enjoyable", said Cleo. "I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you to", said Julius. "It's only a year. If I want specialized services, I could do three years, but I just want to hunt Blackstones."
"Do you believe Attila?" asked Cleo. "That Blackstone has been awaken and is coming back?"
"I truly hope so. Because when he is, I'll be there. Every murder, every felony, and every step they take I will be there. They will loathe me. They will want my guts. And I'm glad. I will destroy Blackstone, even if it means my death."
"Well, let's just hope that it all works out. At least you know where to send your owl to". Julius then breathed a sigh. Now he could stay in touch with Cleo, no matter what it took.
Suddenly, Julius saw a shape coming into a distance. All Julius could make out was that it looked horse-like, but as it got closer, Julius knew it was not a horse. It had a draconic head, a sickly skinny body, and bony wings with ultra-thin membrane. Julius recognized these animals as Thestrals, the creatures that drove the supposedly horseless carriages.
"Look!" said Cleo. "A horseless carriage! I think it's your ride."
"They're not horseless", said Julius. "They're driven by creatures called Thestrals. They look like a cross between a sick horse and a decaying dragon. You can only see them if you have seen death, something I know too much about."
"Oh", sighed Cleo. "Well, take care. See you during the Winter Holidays."
"You can count on it", said Julius. A hidden passion inside Julius made him bend closer to try to embrace his love, but once he heard a man yell 'all aboard!' Julius put aside those emotions, grabbed his bags, and walked inside the carriage. As the vehicle was driven away, he waved goodbye at Cleo for a second and turned around. He didn't look back, for a new adventure was just beyond the horizon.
