Chapter 294 Halloween Banquet
Halloween, second floor of the castle. new
Cedric sat in an empty classroom, covering his face and whispering: "Kyle, I think it's useless, so let's forget it."
They have been here for several days, and they have not harvested anything during this period... It cannot be said that they have still received some goods.
They became famous.
Almost half of the school knew that the number one student in the third and fourth grades had been hanging around the door of the library for the past few days, and his behavior was very strange.
I donβt even know who it is, but itβs rumored that this is a new type of learning method that uses an ancient magic ritual to transform the knowledge in the library into oneβs own.
This kind of statement sounds like nonsense at first glance, but many people actually believe it... and they believe it deeply.
Recently, more and more people have begun to gather at the entrance of the library, imitating their actions seriously.
Not to mention, they learned quite well, and their movements were so uniform.
Especially in the past two days, the library has almost become a tourist attraction, and it is crowded with people almost all the time.
But correspondingly, Mrs. Pince looked at them more and more unkindly.
Because that group of people seriously affected the order of the library, she also tried to drive them away several times, but to no avail...
After all, Mrs. Pingsi couldn't stay outside all the time. As soon as she left, those people would come back soon.
Under such circumstances, it was naturally impossible for her to look down upon the two culprits, Kyle and Cedric.
Cedric felt that they might not be able to go to the library anytime soon.
Kyle also sighed and nodded in agreement with what he said.
The movement here has been really loud recently. Today they were even blocked by the crowd and couldn't get close to the library.
I guess it won't be long before the professors come to chase people away.
After leaving the classroom, the two of them lowered their heads and walked around the crowd back to the first floor, preparing to attend the Halloween party.
The auditorium has been decorated.
More than a dozen huge pumpkins were carved into lanterns. The smallest one could accommodate two people sitting in it. If there was another Thestral in front, it would be a perfect pumpkin carriage.
At the entrance of the auditorium, Kyle also met the Gryffindor trio...
"You must do what you say." Hermione was talking to Harry, "You said you were going to attend the death anniversary party, so you can't break your promise, otherwise Nearly Headless Nick will be very disappointed."
"But Hermione, I didn't agree."
Next to him, Ron said with a grimace: "Besides, Banban is gone, and I still have to look for it."
"That mouse of yours?" Hermione frowned, "Don't you always keep it in the dormitory?"
"That's right. It was still there at noon today, but it disappeared in the afternoon."
Ron muttered softly: "Neville must have forgotten to close the door when he left... I can't even think about what Scabbers would do if he met Mrs. Norris in the castle. He would be eaten."
"You don't have to worry about this at all." Hermione said: "Mrs. Norris never eats students' pets... In fact, she only eats what Filch feeds."
"Are you going to the underground classroom?"
A familiar voice came, and the three of them were startled. When they looked up, they saw Kyle and Cedric.
"Hello."
Harry greeted the two of them, and then nodded helplessly, "You are right, we are going to the third underground classroom, where Nick will hold the death anniversary party."
It can be seen that he already regrets it a little now.
"I suggest you bring some snacks over there." Cedric reminded: "There is no food suitable for you there."
"But isn't that a party?" Hermione asked puzzledly: "Why is there no food?"

"It's a ghost party." Kyle corrected, "They like different things from us."
After hearing what Kyle said, Harry seemed to regret even more.
But as Hermione said just now, he had already promised Nick, and he had just helped him escape Filch's punishment before. It was definitely not appropriate to go back on his word at this time. He had to go there no matter what.
Big deal...just leave early.
If there was enough time, they might be able to come back before the school banquet was over.
After saying a few more words, the three of them left in a hurry. Before going to the underground classroom, they had to help Ron find his mouse. Time was very tight.
Kyle and Cedric walked into the lively auditorium.

Ten minutes later, the banquet officially began.
As previously speculated, Dumbledore did invite a skeleton dance troupe to entertain the Halloween party.
Moreover, they didn't have a rebellious-sounding name, but they were real skeletons... similar to ghosts, but of a different species.
Accompanied by a burst of music and lightning and thunder on the ceiling, they appeared out of thin air on the space reserved in front of the guest of honor. As soon as they appeared, they attracted exclamations from the little wizards.
Then when the music changed, they started dancing to the rhythm.
At this time, Kyle also understood why Nearly Headless Nick was so upset when he learned that the dance troupe was coming to Hogwarts.
Although the sight of these moving skeletons may be a little scary at first, this emotion quickly disappears when they dance to the music.
For the first time, Kyle saw elegance in the skeletons. Every movement they made was full of beauty and power.
The huge contrast between the terrifying appearance and graceful dance steps instantly caused deafening cheers to ring out in the auditorium.
From here on, the applause in the auditorium almost never stopped.
Especially during the last dance, they chose a more cheerful and exciting music.
"Magic Stuff"
It is also the most famous song of the Weird Sisters.
Amidst a series of cheerful drum beats, some little wizards couldn't help but jump up.
At first it was just Fred and George, and a few Gryffindors, enjoying themselves, but as the music wore on, more and more people joined in.
Even at the guest of honor, Lockhart left his seat and started dancing. His teaching skills were average, but his dancing was very good.
He also wanted to invite other professors to dance together, but Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout both refused.
However, Professor Caredi Bubage, who was in charge of Muggle Studies, readily accepted his invitation, got up and walked to the dance floor together.
Dumbledore laughed and clapped to them.
The song ended, but the joyful atmosphere still spread in the auditorium, and the students shouted, wanting them to dance again!
Dumbledore stood up and motioned for everyone to be quiet.
"Dance... is more powerful than any words." He said with a smile, "But filling your stomach is just as important."
As soon as he finished speaking, the empty plate on the table was filled with all kinds of delicious food.
Pumpkin roasted chicken, roasted steak with pumpkin sauce, pumpkin pie, pumpkin soup, pumpkin pudding...
Itβs all about pumpkins, and the main theme is just for the occasion.
"Fortunately we didn't go to the underground classroom with Potter and the others..."
Cedric also danced along just now, and the excitement has not passed yet. He couldn't help but said to Kyle: "This Halloween party is really great. Do you think Principal Dumbledore will invite them next year?" ?β
