Chapter 75 The Ghost Banquet Held Because of Harry
·
Liu Yue Zhi Yuan Fei
Sir Nicholas heard everyone's inquiries.
It felt like my head with a trace of skin was about to explode.
If he wasn't Gryffindor's resident ghost, he would definitely turn around and run away.
Finally he had to float to the ceiling and straighten his head.
Shouting for everyone to be quiet.
"Okay! Answer one by one!
That's a private matter between the professor and Peeves, I don't want to talk about the professor behind his back...
...That's true, but the good news is that Professor Holmes has promised everyone that such things will not appear at Hogwarts again...
...The Immortal Rope Curse, I think it should be a very powerful magic, unfortunately, it is not black magic, otherwise we could have...
Cough cough, I mean you can't learn it, and I don't suggest you learn it..."
Nicholas finally dismissed the students' questions with almost perfunctory words.
Finally, he made a request:
"It's a pleasure to answer so many of your questions.
But I also have one thing here, I need your help...
I mean get involved...
This Halloween, the ghosts are having a separate party.
Ghosts from all over the country visit on that day.
Above all, of course, to celebrate the [-]th anniversary of my death, Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington!
A very special holiday!
Can everyone come and join us? "
After speaking, Sir Nicholas looked at everyone expectantly.
Everyone lived up to expectations and raised their hands to say yes.
At this time, a student suddenly asked:
"Will the ghost banquet have as many exquisite dishes as in the auditorium?"
"..."
Sir Nicholas seemed to be stimulated, and said very unhappy:
"No!
Not at all!
It's just an ordinary cold, dark basement classroom!
You can't expect the ghosts to still taste delicious dishes! "
Suddenly, everyone lost interest.
They all said that they would not go, let’s see it later...
At this moment, someone noticed the Weasley twins walking towards the bedroom.
"Oh my god, George and the others are going to take a bath!
I must be ahead of them, or they will smell everywhere! "
The other students also reacted one after another, put down the textbooks in their hands, and ran towards the dormitory.
For a moment, there were only a handful of people left in the common room, mostly prefects because they had their own bathrooms.
Hermione put everyone's textbooks away so that they would not find them in class tomorrow.
While complaining, said:
"George and Fred can't enter the women's bath, why are the girls so excited!
Why didn't you two go? "
Ron shrugged:
"The men's baths are not very big, and they usually take turns to go there.
Believe me, after a while, there will be a lot of people coming out! "
Harry murmured to himself, is that going to take a shower?
Everyone heard the story of Nearly Headless Nick (Sir Nicholas), but they didn't want to promise each other to go where no living person would go.
I had to find a reason to hide... hide?
Harry, suddenly realized a problem.
Why are you still here?
He looked at Hermione, who was packing up, and Ron, who was looking around at half-written homework.
Then, he turned his head and saw Sir Nicholas approaching, with that longing look in his eyes!
He was so scared that he almost threw away the book in his hand.
"Harry!
Sorry, my attitude was not very good just now.
You know, this ghost banquet is not easy to hold, Dumbledore kindly agreed to lend us an underground classroom...
Now the underground classroom is very difficult to apply for because of a certain professor...
We are really embarrassed to ask to arrange food for living people to entertain you...
However, I think this is a rare scene for you...
Just think of all the ghosts in England..."
Looking at Sir Nicholas' pitiful eyes, Harry's heart suddenly softened!
"Well, Nick, I should be there, and I think Ron and Hermione will be too.
The unique banquet will definitely make us unforgettable!
Don't be sad! "
Hearing Harry's answer, Sir Nicholas's face suddenly brightened.
It seemed that there was still a bit of blush on her pearly face.
Ron on the side was racing Hermione,
Before the other party puts away all the homework, read two more homework as a reference.
Not even noticing, as Harry, in a moment of softness and curiosity, promised the ghost their Halloween.
Sir Nicholas said excitedly to Harry:
"Thank you so much!
You know, we're all going to cancel this party, after all...
Anyway thank you so much!
I want to share this good news with others!
By the way, did the fat monk find anyone? "
After finishing speaking, he disappeared directly from the ground.
Harry was dumbfounded.
What do I know, what do I know?
It seems that because I agreed, the banquet will continue.
Could it be my [-]th death anniversary?
Why is there still a ghost looking for someone, I thought I was special and the only one?
......
Saturday morning.
Douglas tidied himself up and put on some retro but elegant clothes.
Then walk towards Hogsmeade village.
For this interview, he also rescheduled the fifth-grade practice test from this morning to tomorrow.
On the way to Hogsmeade, a group of students surrounded him.
Although most of them don't know what Professor Holmes is going to do.
But they felt that something good would happen if the professor dressed so formally today.
What if, like last time, the professor is happy to pay for everyone.
You can't miss this good thing every time.
Passing by the Honeydukes Candy Shop, owner Ambrosio Froome exclaimed:
"To celebrate Professor Sherlock Holmes, partner of Honeydukes Confectionery, became a well-known author!
All the consumption in our store today—"
Not only Douglas looked at the candy shop owner in surprise,
All the other students in the store and not in the store showed excitement, coming!coming!They also finally caught up with the famous scene!
I saw the other party smiled and continued:
"All purchases will be discounted at 9.9%!
Come, come, let me introduce to you some candies invented by Professor Holmes when he was a student..."
Although what the other party said is not that all the consumption will be paid by the professor, but the rare discount opportunities can only be encountered on various festivals.
Even in normal times, when Dumbledore bought candy, the other party would not give a discount.
Everyone swarmed up.
The other party blinked at Douglas, then turned to greet everyone.
Douglas smiled, this is what he taught the other party.
A long time ago, shops in the magic world basically didn't do any promotions or discounts.
After all, there are not many competitors in the UK.
Still, the candy store owner tried what Douglas said was a discount.
Although the result was not as popular as in the Muggle world, there were still a lot more people than usual.
Before he could walk slowly, Slane rushed out from the Three Broomsticks bar first.
Pull him and run to the bar.
"My God, what are you still doing, parading the streets? Is it patrolling the territory?
This time, I specially invited a special reporter here.
Don't keep people waiting! "
It felt like my head with a trace of skin was about to explode.
If he wasn't Gryffindor's resident ghost, he would definitely turn around and run away.
Finally he had to float to the ceiling and straighten his head.
