Section 350

"Bathe in the moonlight?" Neville scratched his head again, not really understanding what Luna meant.

Vizet understood what Luna meant, "Let me make an analogy... do you usually prefer to stay here... or in the professors' offices?"

"Of course here!" Neville said almost without any hesitation, even a little anxiously.

"That's easy to understand..." Vizette pointed at the wand and said, "This wand is the professor's office."

Neville raised his hand and looked at the wand thoughtfully, "Professor's office?"

"Having someone to motivate you is certainly an enviable thing." Vizette continued, "But you also need a friend, don't you?"

"I just checked the wand and found that there are many traces of battles on it. If you continue to encounter accidents, it may cause some accidents."

Neville screamed in horror, "For example, it will break?"

"Maybe there is this risk." Vizette nodded, "So you can consider keeping it with you to motivate yourself, and then use a new wand."

"Then I'll talk to grandma..." Neville nodded, looking at the wand in his hand in a trance...

Chapter 185 Just like Professor Snape's nitpicking

Happiness and surprise are always the main themes of Halloween Eve.

Students can feel the strong festive atmosphere when they get up early in the morning;

Although senior students are used to it, for freshmen, the pumpkin fragrance that permeates the entire castle is an extremely novel experience.

Senior students also have things they are interested in, such as chatting with ignorant freshmen and then approaching the magic armor;

Some senior students have poor acting skills, and often before they get close to the armor, the corners of their mouths rise too obviously, which then arouses the suspicion of freshmen;

Because freshmen are alert, those armors that suddenly scare people are not so scary.

There are also senior students with excellent acting skills, such as Fred and George;

They can always restrain their mouth corners from rising when necessary, and the twins always act together, which often distracts the attention of freshmen;

Until the freshmen scream, Fred and George will laugh, which makes the freshmen beat and kick them;

Fred and George don’t care about such "revenge", and they won’t even resist much. They also scream in cooperation to make the freshmen calm down as soon as possible.

After the freshmen calm down, their impression of such things will deepen;

Perhaps when the next Halloween comes, the new freshmen will become the next batch of "Fred and George".

…

After a fight, the freshmen calmed down, but Professor McGonagall's anger would not;

When she saw Fred and George's behavior, she immediately criticized them and began to care about their preparations for the exams.

Professor McGonagall kept her demeanor, looking at Fred and George with her back straight, her face serious and her voice low, saying: "Do you know? Molly wrote to me!"

"Almost two-thirds of the content of the letter Molly sent was about you, worrying that you would not be able to pass even one O.W.L. exam,"

"She is really worried about you! Whether it is Bill, Charlie, Percy or Ron, they are all hardworking children, you have to work harder!"

Originally, when they heard Molly use "two-thirds of the content" to care about them, Fred and George rubbed their noses;

When they heard Professor McGonagall mention Ron and said that he was a "hardworking child", they couldn't help but wonder: "Ron?"

In their impression, Ron always seemed to be obsessed with wizard chess or other things on weekends, anyway, he was not very hardworking.

"Ron has been doing well recently, and he has put more effort into his homework and papers than before." Professor McGonagall adjusted her glasses, "I can see it at a glance..."

"He also submitted a paper to Hogwarts Voice with Harry. Although it was not selected, I saw his efforts and courage."

"I have told Molly all these things, so the people she is most worried about now are actually you."

"I really didn't expect it..." Fred and George said in unison, "I didn't expect our Ronald... to become like this now..."

...

"Huh?" Professor McGonagall frowned slightly, and a questioning sound came out of her nose.

Fred raised his hands quickly, "Uh... I mean... we can't..."

George continued smoothly: "We can't let Ron look down on us! We must be a role model for our brother!"

"Yes!" Fred nodded repeatedly, "In fact, we also plan to submit to "Voice of Hogwarts"!"

"That's right!" George did the same thing, "That article... do something you are good at! We are deeply inspired!"

"Oh?" Seeing that Fred and George did not talk about magic fireworks or prank magic props, but started to talk about papers, Professor McGonagall was naturally curious.

Fred pointed his index finger at George, "The idea in it is correct, so we developed a new version!"

George did the same thing, "We are good at similar things, so we plan to write each other's papers, and then exchange them after writing, and find fault with the papers!"

"That's right!" Fred nodded repeatedly, "Just like Snape... Professor's nitpicking, especially harsh! All his own ideas!"

"In this way..." George continued to explain, "Will it become our own paper after the paper is revised?"

After listening to Fred and George's explanation, Professor McGonagall felt a headache at first, but after thinking about it carefully...

At least for the twins, this so-called "nitpicking method" is indeed a good way;

If you can really be as strict as Snape, and add your own opinions, it is really possible to complete a good paper.

For Fred and George, Professor McGonagall has always had high hopes;

Both of them have good magical talents, just like his brothers' magical talents, but the Weasley family's hidden mischievousness seems to be concentrated on the twins;

As a result, the twins are extremely biased in their subjects and have excellent hands-on skills. It also took Professor McGonagall a lot of effort to manage the twins.

After Fred and George said so much, Professor McGonagall decided to trust them again.

She nodded gently and said, "In that case... I look forward to your essays in "Hogwarts Voice."

"Of course! You have to work harder on the review of the corresponding subjects! Don't hang around in the corridor all day and scare the freshmen!"

"Understood! Understood!" Fred and George waved and said, "Professor McGonagall, take care!"

-------------------------------------

As night fell, Hogwarts Castle was shrouded in joy.

Even the Dementors felt this joy, and they made strange "clucking" breathing sounds, which seemed to be more agitated than before.

Inside Hogwarts Castle, the auditorium has undergone new changes. The curtains are replaced by green vines around it, and countless pumpkin lanterns can be seen when you look up;

These pumpkin lanterns float in the air, some with bright smiles, and some with ferocious ghost faces;

The candlelight in the pumpkin lanterns sways slightly, emitting a soft light, illuminating the entire auditorium.

After the sumptuous Halloween dinner, many ghosts in the school floated over the hall and performed some entertaining performances under the guidance of the fat monk and the almost headless Nick.

No accidents happened until the end of the dinner when Dumbledore announced that everyone could return to their respective lounges and have a good sleep.

No accidents happened when walking to the corridor where the accident happened last school year.

But for safety reasons, Vizet followed the Ravenclaw team all the way to the bronze door;

He watched the students enter the common room one by one and return to their respective dormitories, and then he felt relieved...

Chapter 186 Invasion of Sirius and Hidden Assessment

Waving goodbye to Luna, Vizet turned along the corridor and entered a secluded corridor;

According to the previous plan, he would go to Hogsmeade Village and use it as a transit point to reach the ruined castle of Irondale.

Not long after Vizet left with the help of the firelight, another corridor in the distance became lively, and the Gryffindor students were in an uproar.

Not long after, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall came over. The portrait they were supposed to hang at the entrance of the lounge had been severely damaged, and the Fat Lady in the portrait had disappeared.

Peeves was floating in the air, doing somersaults from time to time, watching everything in front of him with great joy.

When Dumbledore was about to search the castle for the missing Fat Lady, Peeves grinned and told Dumbledore the truth of the matter;

It was Sirius Black who attacked the Fat Lady's portrait because he tried to get in, but the Fat Lady refused this request, so he was angry and destroyed the portrait.

After hearing what Peeves said, Professor McGonagall adjusted his glasses and said with some concern: "He may still be in the castle."

"Minerva, take the students back to the hall first!" Dumbledore said thoughtfully, "Tell Filius, Pomona and Severus..."

"Tell them to gather the students from their respective colleges and return to the hall! Then notify Filch and the ghosts to help check all the floors of the castle..."

Professor McGonagall led the students back to the hall, and the corridor fell silent again.

Dumbledore stroked his beard, clapped his hands gently to summon a house elf, and asked him to mobilize other house elves to help search the castle, focusing on the abandoned classrooms.

...

The prefects were counting the number of people, and Dumbledore transformed countless sleeping bags and arranged for the students to spend the night in the hall.

Dumbledore closed the door of the hall, and Nico, who was almost headless, happened to drill out of the ceiling.

He floated in front of Dumbledore, performed a court etiquette and said: "Headmaster Dumbledore, we have searched once and found no trace of Sirius."

Dumbledore nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

"This is what we should do!" said Nico, who was almost headless, "If you need anything else, please call us again."

Dumbledore nodded and replied: "Of course!"
