Chapter 167 Misty Illusion
Halloween is here.
Students wake up early in the morning to the scent of roasted pumpkin filling the air.
Even the little badgers who like to have breakfast in the dormitory and toilets on weekdays were attracted to the auditorium by this strong aroma.
The entire auditorium was also decorated for Halloween:
Hundreds of large-mouthed bats hovered on the enchanted ceiling, and their backs each looked like a smaller Snape.
A pumpkin the size of Hagrid's wagon was also hung on the wall, but no one dared to pass under it, because it was too big and the students were afraid of being hit in the head.
Even the candles were replaced with jack-o-lanterns, and when the students approached, they would laugh "Jie Jie", like a special magic spirit.
The breakfast is even richer, including Indian pumpkin juice, pumpkin chowder, French butter fried pesto squash, onion and leek butternut squash, asparagus corn stuffed squash, ricotta roasted squash...
As long as the cuisines can be imagined, all the side dishes are replaced with pumpkins. Whether it is delicious or not is another matter, but the creativity is indeed full.
The whole of Hogwarts was also filled with a relaxed and happy atmosphere, and even the professors who were usually unsmiling had a rare day of relaxation.
In the charm class, Professor Flitwick showed everyone how to use magic to carve patterns on pumpkins.
He knew art, and carved a picture of Hogwarts ghosts at night, drawing all the ghosts in the school, among which the beautiful Ms. Gray undoubtedly stood in the most prominent position.
Every student was very excited and wanted to create something, but when it was their turn, each one became more and more abstract.
Ron's broken wand even exploded the whole pumpkin, and the pumpkin seeds scattered flowers directly.
Professor Flitwick was furious and chastised Ron for copying the sentence "I'm a wizard, not a stick-wielding orangutan".
In the Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall asked students to turn animals into candy. Since some students crushed the teaching tool to death when they used beetles last time, she directly replaced it with... cockroaches this time.
Now no one can pinch to death.
Professor McGonagall also patiently helped those students who could not transform to complete the final transformation.
When get out of class was over, she didn't take away the teaching tools, and let the little wizards leave directly.
Everyone soon understood the reason. It turned out that Professor Lockhart changed into the clothes of a female ghost, stood at the door of the classroom, and asked the students for Halloween candy.
The little wizard gave Professor Lockhart the candies that the cockroaches turned into.
Lockhart opened the package happily, and ate five or six candies in a row. When he put the seventh in his mouth, the candy finally turned back into a cockroach and burst out directly.
Standing in the distance, Shirley, who was watching this scene, couldn't help sticking out her tongue, and laughed softly:
"I didn't expect Professor McGonagall to have such an interesting side. I always thought she was very well-behaved and wouldn't play pranks."
"Xue Li, you are so naive." Rove snorted twice, and said directly:
"Students from Gryffindor are all rotten, we Hufflepuffs are different... they are all honest!
Look at me, typical good Hufflepuff student! "
The ponytail girl smiled, made a playful grimace and said:
"I'll make a note, and I'll tell Hermione your evaluation of Gryffindor later."
"Xue Li, you are not being kind." Luo Fu's eyes were dull, and he sighed:
"The Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw families... we must unite, don't be a little traitor."
"Who is with your family!" Shirley raised her small fist and waved it, and said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense!"
...
...
Lockhart, who ate cockroaches, was hospitalized again and was unable to attend the dinner party. For most wizards, this is good news.
After all, he is said to be performing at the dinner how to subdue a Halloween ghost.
Compared with other teachers, the atmosphere in Potions class was not so strong, and Snape never had any holidays, including... Valentine's Day.
But this time, he accidentally taught the students how to brew an invisibility potion. After taking it, they can temporarily hide for a few minutes to play tricks on others.
After Rove completed the configuration, Snape also made him drink the potion.
After the boy drank it, the figure disappeared, and Snape deliberately glanced at the sight glass, and found that it was already shining and spinning.
Strange, wasn't Scamander really in the Potions classroom that night? !
The unwilling Snape was a little confused.
Rove sat on the chair, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, trying to trick him?
Hmph, as soon as Professor Snape flicked his robe, Rove knew what color underwear he was wearing.
It must be black... After all, the professor never washes his hair and underwear.
During lunch time, Dumbledore "accidentally" leaked a message: the famous skeleton dance troupe will perform at Hogwarts tonight.
This news brings the Halloween atmosphere to the extreme.
Skeleton Dance Troupe... As the name suggests, it is a dance troupe composed entirely of skeletons. Thanks to their special body structure, they can perform unharmonized striptease and pole dance for everyone.
Moreover, this is also the first comeback of the Skeleton Dance Troupe in half a year.
Six months ago, at the opening ceremony of the British and Irish Quidditch League, the leader of the dance troupe threw his head to the audience, but was snatched away by a swallowtail dog without a leash.
The Ministry of Magic searched for two months before recovering the leader's skeleton head.
The dance troupe also called on the Ministry of Magic to legislate against owners of swallowtail dogs who do not leash, but the proposal was strongly resisted by dog lovers.
Until the evening, the students were still discussing the dance troupe.
Helena appeared in Rove's box on time.
Rove looked up and found that Helena was wearing a very gorgeous dragging dress. Although she was still a ghost, her temperament had completely changed... She was very luxurious.
"Is it time already?" Rove closed the book and said, "Then let's go."
Helena frowned and said, "Are you going to attend the death anniversary wearing this?"
"What's wrong?" Rove asked strangely.
"At least it should be more formal, this is too simple!"
"It's okay, I'm a student." Rove said calmly: "It's normal to wear a Hogwarts uniform to attend Death Day."
"Okay." Helena was a little disappointed. She thought that Rove was very handsome, so he should dress up beautifully. It would be best to piss off the dead blood man Barrow.
The two walked in the corridor, and Rove looked at Helena's long skirt and asked:
"Helena, how do you ghosts change clothes?"
He has noticed more than once that the clothes of the ghosts are not all the same.
Like the bloody Baro, who even obtained shackles to lock himself up after death... Could it be that ghosts still sell things to each other?
"A ghost is a collection of all the imprints left by a dead wizard in the world." Helena explained softly:
"These clothes are all worn by me during my lifetime, as a mark of my past, and they can appear when I recall."
As the witch said so, the clothes on her body changed into another set of robes. It was a low-cut dress, and besides the large peaks and mountains, there was a scar on the chest.
Helena obviously didn't like to show her scars, and even the scar on her chest was only shown to Rove, so she quickly changed back to the long dress just now.
"Of course, this kind of external change has no meaning, after all, we are already dead." Helena said in a sad tone:
"For a thousand years, I generally maintained the appearance when I died..."
"Helena, how did you feel when you died?" Rove asked curiously, "Did the soul leave the body directly and then become a ghost?"
"No, Rove." Helena was silent for a moment, then sighed softly:
"I suddenly appeared at Hogwarts, but I was alone in the whole castle, and I wandered alone for a long time."
The woman said with sad eyes:
"My mother once told me that it's called Misty Land, a place between life and death..."
