Chapter 161 Magic Piano Music

When Maca came out of the Forbidden Forest, he realized that he was already late.

Probably because there are many guests at Hogwarts this year, or because the candidates for the Triwizard Tournament will be announced later, the Halloween dinner this time seems to be longer than in previous years.

In order to make this Halloween banquet more atmospheric, Dumbledore even invited the famous ghost dance troupe in the wizarding world--Phantom Opera to cheer for everyone.

When Maca quietly walked into the side hall by the side door, a mess of complaints rushed over his face immediately. He had to comfort the guys he had personally invited before he could speak.

He recounted the things he had ordered in advance, and agreed on a secret sign, then walked around the corridor and returned to the main entrance of the auditorium.

It is worth mentioning that before he went in, he specially changed into a handsome and flamboyant blue tuxedo, and took out a small bottle and sprinkled something on himself...

At this moment, the students in the auditorium were a little absent-minded.

They didn't seem to like those well-prepared and sumptuous dishes as usual, and everyone was constantly looking up, with anxious expressions on every face.

Almost everyone was fidgeting, standing up from time to time to see if Dumbledore had finished eating.

The performance of the ghost dance troupe was wonderful. Those ghosts were excellent dancers during their lifetime; and the wizard who played the piano as a skeleton was a very popular wizard pianist on weekdays.

However, none of this attracted the little wizards at all, and they were all looking forward to the end of the banquet.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a handsome boy in a tuxedo walked in from the door. He walked like the wind, passing between the two long tables in the middle with a slight smile.

Wherever he passed, a piece of faint blue flames like his dress scattered in all directions. Those flames were like will-o'-the-wisps, and quickly filled the sky above the auditorium, turning the entire space into an evil and cool color.

Amidst the exclamation of the students from the three magic academies, he pulled out his wand and waved it casually, a large amount of blue flames suddenly flashed from his body, enveloping him and flying up, passing silently among the graceful dancing ghosts, landing accurately Next to the piano in the center of the stage.

That's...McLean?

After the initial surprise, the students in the audience quickly recognized Maca, and some students even applauded happily.

Excuse me, can I play a song too?

The pianist was also surprised by his appearance, but then he nodded and gave the piano to Maca.

Maca turned her head, saluted everyone gracefully, and then said: I know, everyone is looking forward to the announcement of the Triwizard Tournament warrior candidates. To be honest, I am also looking forward to it... But I guess we shouldn't let that be a reason for us to miss our Halloween feast this year.

I have prepared a program for you, I hope you can enjoy this very special Halloween eve where the elites from the three schools gather!

I dare say, most of us may not be able to experience such a special Halloween night again!

After finishing speaking, he sat down in front of the piano, tapped the tip of the wand on the piano bench to adjust the height, tapped the piano again, then put down the wand, and dropped his hands towards the keys of the piano.

When Maca's right hand slid from the middle range to the high range, and the left hand followed the bass chords, a set off clear melody suddenly reverberated in the auditorium.

It seems that because of some magic, every sound of the piano seems to contain some kind of hazy emotion, which makes people attracted.

The piano is still going on, and the jumping sound of the piano is accompanied by magic, composing a kind of deep and treacherous agility. The melody fluctuated with the will-o'-the-wisps in the auditorium, revealing the atmosphere of Halloween.

Just when the weird melody made everyone feel inexplicably uneasy,

An unexpectedly strong chord fell heavily, and Maca picked up his wand in his right hand and waved it quickly. He seemed to be spontaneously ignited, and blue flames rose from his tuxedo.

At the same time, a group of ghosts riding horses suddenly entered through the wall from the side hall. They held their heads in their hands and galloped freely in the auditorium while dancing their horseshoes.

That's a member of the Headless Hunt!

In the center of the stage, Maca followed the steps of those headless ghosts, his fingers frequently danced on the keys, and a dance with a mysterious melody was played.

As the melody jumped more and more, Maca's movements became bigger and bigger, and the blue flames on his body kept fluttering. When everyone was intoxicated in this collision of music and magic, the last sound of the dance music came to an abrupt end.

Maca stood up, waved his wand again, and all the blue flames in the auditorium including him exploded suddenly, turned into scattered sparks and extinguished.

The light in the auditorium returned to the original warm tone, and the students who came back to their senses stood up excitedly, and even the teachers couldn't help applauding this wonderful performance.

Happy Halloween everyone! Maka said loudly, It doesn't matter whether I'm a student at Hogwarts or a student at Durmstrang! I just want to say one thing: the people who used to be my friends , we will always be friends!

The students all cheered, and many people were responding to Maca's words, and the atmosphere reached its peak for a while.

Maca returned to Ravenclaw's long table amid everyone's applause, and sat quietly beside Luna.

Great performance. Luna nodded to him, but her eyes fell on his tuxedo. This dress is very interesting...

Maca shrugged and said, You asked Ms. Gray to invite the Headless Hunter team, and you have credit for it.

At this moment, Maca twitched the corners of her mouth and scratched her head vigorously. Because he found that the golden plates on the long table had returned to their spotless state-the banquet was over.

I missed the most important thing... He sighed, It seems that I have to go to the kitchen to find something to eat tonight.

While he was muttering softly, Dumbledore stood up, and the auditorium suddenly became silent again.

Professor Orson and Mrs. Maxime on both sides of Dumbledore looked as nervous and expectant as everyone else. Ludo Bagman was all smiles, winking at the students from various schools, while Mr. Crouch looked uninterested, almost bored.

Well, the Goblet is about to make its decision, said Dumbledore. I reckon it will take another three minutes. Listen, when the names of the champions are announced, I want them to walk to the top of the Great Hall and walk along the staff Desk walk over to that room next door— He pointed to the door behind the instructor's desk, they'll get their initial instruction there.

Of course, before that, the jury has to announce one more thing. Dumbledore looked around, and the members of the jury sitting on both sides nodded to him, and then he raised his head and said, About the Mr. Maca McLean, whose strength has passed the age limit, the referee team decided after discussion that we will approve his registration process and wait for the selection of the goblet together with other students.

Everyone was surprised by the referee's decision, but everyone's reaction was not as intense as expected. Whether it is support or opposition, they are just discussing with each other--everyone still remembers Maca's wonderful performance just now. It can be said that he has won the favor of many people just now.

After finishing speaking, Dumbledore took out his wand and swung it broadly.

All of a sudden, except for those candles in the jack-o-lantern, the rest of the candles were extinguished, and the auditorium suddenly fell into a semi-dark state.

The Goblet of Fire now emitted a dazzling light, brighter than anything else in the entire auditorium, and the blue-white flames bursting out with sparks were almost dazzling.

Everyone watched and waited... Several people kept raising their wrists and looking at their watches...

It's coming soon. A student said softly.

Not long after, the flame in the goblet suddenly turned red, and crackling sparks burst out. Then, a tongue of flame shot into the air, and a piece of parchment with charred edges flew out from it—everyone in the auditorium held their breath.

Dumbledore took the parchment and held it far away so that he could read the words on it by the light of the flames. At this time, the flame returned to blue and white.

The Champion of Beauxbatons, said Dumbledore, Fleur Delacour!

It's her, Ron! Harry shouted, and saw the beautiful half-veela girl stand gracefully, flick her silver hair, and move lightly from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff to her feet. Qi walked between the tables.

Oh look, they're all disappointed, said Hermione over the din, nodding to Beauxbaton's other representatives.

In Harry's opinion, disappointment was an understatement of the word. The two girls who were not selected burst into tears, buried their heads in their arms, and cried terribly.

Fleur Delacour turned to the right, walked along the staff desk, and entered the next room through the door.

The applause and chatter gradually subsided. Now everyone's attention was once again on the goblet, and a few seconds later the flames were red again. Pushed by the flames, the second piece of parchment jumped out of the cup.

The warrior of Durmstrang, Dumbledore seemed to hesitate for a moment, he looked up and looked around, and then he said, It's Maca McClain.

To be honest, no one was surprised by this answer - even Krum just sighed slightly and easily accepted the result.

He knew very well that he couldn't compare with such a monster.

Maca stood up calmly, and after nodding to everyone, she also walked into the next room.

Immediately, the auditorium became quiet again. In the silence this time, there was a strong excitement that could almost be tasted.

Next, it's the turn of the Hogwarts warriors...
