Chapter 229 Halloween Traditions

Everyone in the classroom, including Filch, was bored when they heard Gilderoy Lockhart's voice. Compared to Lockhart's predecessor, who was so capable that he hated dogs and hated others, Lockhart was better than his predecessor.

Lockhart belongs to Mu Guiying and cannot be left behind. Whenever there is a lively place to watch, Lockhart will appear immediately. But he didn't come to watch the fun, but to show off.

It was the same today. This classroom was not far from Lockhart's office. He naturally heard the sharp meow, so he walked out of his office, wanting to show off and take a look at the excitement. .

But Lockhart was about to miscalculate. As soon as he entered the classroom, he saw Ada and the twins. These three students were the biggest obstacles to his educational career. At this moment, Lockhart wanted to slap himself in the mouth. Why not just stay in his office and come out to join in the fun?

But now Lockhart couldn't leave even if he wanted to, so Filch grabbed Lockhart. Although he hates Lockhart, it does not prevent Filch from sharing his hatred. After all, Lockhart is also a man with the status of a professor.

Filch said: "Professor, Drizzt and these students violated school rules to hold an assembly and even engage in a private duel. It is really abominable."

Lockhart nodded and thought to himself: "Yes, Drizzt is really annoying. I have never seen such an annoying person." But soon, reason regained the high ground, and Lockhart shook his head again. .

First he nodded, then he shook his head. What does this mean? Filch was confused by Lockhart's mysterious maneuvers. He continued: "Professor, they violated school rules..."

"Mr. Filch," Ada interrupted Filch loudly, "let me say it again, our activities were approved by Professor McGonagall. We only established this study group because of the incompetence of a certain professor who was a corpse. , so Professor McGonagall specially approved this classroom for us, and there is no illegal operation as you mentioned."

All the students in the classroom focused their attention on a certain incompetent professor, but the professor turned a blind eye and said: "Since they have been approved by Professor McGonagall, you should stop caring about it. Moreover, I think the duel club is a good idea."

Lockhart didn't look at the approval form at all. He just wanted to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. He continued: "I once won the duel competition. After returning to school, I still want to fight Flivi The professor discussed it, but he still refused to agree, probably because he was afraid that he would be injured and delay the class!"

"By the way, if you are really interested in organizing a dueling club, feel free to ask me if you have anything you don't understand!" Lockhart said in his old-fashioned way, but he regretted it as soon as he said it, because Ada really opened her mouth to ask her. He asked for help.

Lockhart the dog couldn't change what he ate, so Ada naturally wouldn't spoil him, so she decided to help him and let him eat hot food. Ada said: "Professor, I really don't understand something about Defense Against the Dark Arts..."

Before Ada could finish speaking, Lockhart had hurriedly left the classroom, leaving only his voice echoing in the classroom: "I'll talk to you next time. I just remembered that I still have some urgent things to deal with. It's very urgent. I'll talk to you next time." …”

Seeing Lockhart fleeing in despair, boos rang out in the classroom, and I don't know if Lockhart heard the boos.

Ada made a gesture to Filch to please leave. She said: "Mr. Filch, our activities are not over yet. Please leave now. If you have any questions, you can report them to Professor McGonagall, but please Don’t show up here with your cats anymore, we don’t really like cats here!”

Filch really had no choice but to leave, but he responded to Ada's threat before leaving. He said, "Trist, if anything goes wrong with Mrs. Norris, I swear I will take care of her." You kicked me out of school!"

Filch left the classroom with his cat, and Fred walked up to Ada and asked, "What do we do? Find a new place?"

Knowing that they were gathering here, Filch would definitely keep an eye on them, trying to catch them. Although Filch's actions won't hurt them, it's still annoying to be bothered all the time.

"No, I just want to see what tricks Filch can play." Ada said, "I insist on teasing him this time, but I don't believe it. I can't cure him!"

Filch was not the only one affected by the bad weather, and Ada had not been in a good mood lately either. Normally Ada would avoid this kind of trouble, so there was no need to vent her anger on Filch, but at this moment Ada was not in a good mood. To put it simply, she was a bit over the top and wanted to straighten out Filch.

Because Filch and Lockhart appeared one after another, today's activities ended early at dawn. After everyone tidied up the classroom, they left and returned to the common room.

It was still pouring outside the windows, but the common room was bright and cheerful. The firelight illuminated countless soft armchairs, where people sat reading, chatting, and doing homework.

The friends were sitting around the fireplace, but Fred and George mysteriously walked back to their dormitory. After a while, the two of them came back with a firework and a salamander. This salamander was The twins were "rescued" during a Care of Magical Creatures class.

Fred and George stuffed the Fireworks into the salamander's mouth. Fortunately, there were no members of the animal protection organization in the lounge, otherwise the brothers would be dead.

Suddenly, the salamander that had been burning dullly a moment ago jumped up into the air, spinning wildly in the room, emitting sparks and making loud banging noises.

The friends were also stunned by the "creativity" of Fred and George. Wood's "atrocities" and Filch's troubles were all forgotten, and they concentrated on enjoying the wonderful fireworks show brought by the Salamander.

The salamander sprays orange-red stars from its mouth, and those fireworks stars jump back and forth on the ceiling and walls, which is very beautiful and spectacular. It fled into the fire with a series of explosions and disappeared.

Percy immediately discovered the culprit. He rushed directly in front of his twin brothers and lectured them harshly in a hoarse voice.

Life will always bring you some unexpected happiness inadvertently, although this happiness is based on the pain of the twins and the salamander.

On Halloween, Ada and the twins happily walked into the brand-new auditorium, which was filled with huge pumpkin lanterns and decorative live bats. It is said that Dumbledore also booked a skeleton dance troupe.

After the dinner started, the legendary skeleton dance troupe actually appeared, but the dances were placed on a pile of skeletons, which was indescribably weird and inconsistent, and bursts of laughter suddenly sounded in the auditorium.

Dumbledore's operation successfully restored his declining approval rating. Because of Lockhart's existence, students also complained about Dumbledore, believing that Dumbledore was irresponsible by hiring Lockhart as a professor.

Unlike other people enjoying the Halloween dinner, Ada always looked towards the door of the auditorium, fearing that someone would suddenly burst in, shouting: It's not good, it's not good!

Foley and Quirrell, the two Defense Against the Dark Arts professors, used practical actions to prove to Ada that Halloween is a day like no other. On this day, "Trick or treat"!

Fortunately, no one rushed into the auditorium to announce any bad news until the end of the dinner. Halloween in 1992 was an ordinary holiday without any danger.

After the dinner, the students left the auditorium one after another, and Ada and the twins followed the crowd back to the common room.

Ada was still savoring the food at the party, and Fred and George were imitating the comical moves of the Skeleton Dance Troupe. But when the three of them reached the third floor, they found that the students who were supposed to return to the common room were gathered here. In line with their nature to join in the fun, Ada and the twins also moved towards the crowd.

When the students crowded in front saw Ada, they all moved out of the way. Ada and the twins easily walked to the front and got the best position to watch the excitement.

Ada first saw Ron, Harry, and Hermione who were not at the dinner, and then she saw Filch's cat, Mrs. Norris's tail hanging on the torch stand, her body as stiff as a board, His eyes were wide open and staring.

There is also a sentence written in scarlet paint on the wall: The secret room has been opened. Those who are enemies of the heir, beware!

"Those who are enemies of the heir, be careful! You will be next, Mud..." Draco Malfoy also squeezed to the front of the crowd, but he swallowed back the curse words after seeing Ada opposite him.

Malfoy's cold eyes became animated, and his usually bloodless face turned red. He looked at the still and stiff cat hanging there, with a grin on his face, as if he had already seen who was hanging there next.

Ada ignored Malfoy's rude remarks. Two "dings" suddenly sounded in her mind, and the system that had been silent for a long time came online again.

【Ding! A thousand-year-old castle, a dusty secret room, is the host sure that he is not curious? Find the clues to the secret room before the end of this school year and find the location of the secret room. 】

【Ding! It may be just an inconspicuous item, but it can play an unknown role. Please keep wearing the glasses provided by the system until the end of this school year. 】

After reading the new task prompt and looking at Mrs. Norris hanging on the torch, Ada sighed. Sure enough, something is bound to happen on Halloween...

Group: 1040815922 Anyone who wants to join can join, but there probably won’t be many people.
