Chapter 294 Halloween Banquet
On the eve of Halloween, the second floor of the castle.
Sitting in an empty classroom, Cedric covered his face and whispered, "Kyle, I don't think it's useful to do this, so forget it."
They've been here for several days, and they haven't gained anything during this period... It can't be said that, there are still some goods received.
They are famous.
Almost half of the people in the school knew that No.1, the third and fourth grader, had been wandering around the door of the library these days, and behaved very strangely.
I don't even know who it is, but it is also rumored that this is a new type of learning method, using an ancient magic ritual to transform the knowledge in the library into my own.
There are still many people who believe this kind of nonsense at first glance... and they believe it firmly.
Recently, more and more people began to gather at the entrance of the library, carefully imitating their movements.
Not to mention, they learned quite well, and their movements are so uniform.
Especially in the past two days, the library has almost become a scenic spot, crowded with people almost all the time.
But correspondingly, Mrs. Pince looked at them more and more unkindly.
Because the group of people seriously affected the order of the library, she also tried to drive them away several times, but it was useless...
After all, Mrs. Pince couldn't stay outside all the time. As soon as she left, those people would come back soon.
Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for her to have any good looks towards the two culprits, Kyle and Cedric.
Cedric felt that they might not be able to go to the library any time soon.
Kyle also sighed and nodded in agreement with him.
There has indeed been a lot of movement here recently. Today they were even blocked by the crowd, and they couldn't get close to the library.
It is estimated that it will not be long before the professors will come to drive people away.
After leaving the classroom, the two lowered their heads, bypassed the crowd and returned to the first floor, preparing to attend the Halloween banquet.
The auditorium has been renovated.
More than a dozen huge pumpkins were carved into lanterns, and the smallest one could accommodate two people. If there was another Thestral in front, it would be a pumpkin carriage.
At the entrance of the auditorium, Kyle also met the Gryffindor trio...
"Do what you say." Hermione was talking to Harry, "You said you were going to the Deathday Party, so you must not break your word, or Nearly Headless Nick will be very disappointed."
"But Hermione, I didn't agree."
Next to him, Ron said with a bitter face: "And Scabbers is gone, I have to go find it."
"Your mouse?" Hermione frowned, "Didn't you keep it in the dormitory all the time?"
"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 it, what if Scabbers meets Mrs. Norris in the castle, it will be eaten."
"You don't have to worry about that at all," said Hermione. "Mrs. Norris will never eat a student's pet...in fact, she only eats what Filch feeds her."
"Are you going to the basement classroom?"
When a familiar voice came, the three of them were startled, and they only saw Kyle and Cedric when they looked up.
"Hello."
Harry greeted the two of them, then nodded helplessly, "You're right, we're going to the third basement, that's where Nick held the Deathday party."
It can be seen that he has regretted it a little at the moment.
"I suggest that you better bring some snacks." Cedric reminded: "There is no food suitable for you."
"But isn't that a party?" Hermione wondered, "Why is there no food?"
"A party for ghosts," Kyle corrected. "They don't like the same things as we do."
After hearing what Kyle said, Harry seemed to regret it even more.
But just like what Hermione said just now, he had already agreed to Nick, and the other party had helped him escape Filch's punishment before, so it would definitely not be appropriate to go back on his word at this time, and he had to go there no matter what.
Big deal... just leave early.
If there was enough time, they might be able to make it back before the school banquet was over.
After saying a few more words, the three of Harry left in a hurry. Before going to the basement, they had to help Ron find his mouse, and the time was tight.
Kyle and Cedric walked into the lively auditorium.
……
Ten minutes later, the banquet officially began.
As previously speculated, Dumbledore did invite the skeleton dance troupe to the Halloween feast.
Moreover, they did not give a rebellious-sounding name, but real skeletons...similar to ghosts, but of a different species.
Accompanied by a burst of music and lightning and thunder from the ceiling, they just appeared out of nowhere on the reserved space in front of the guest of honor, and the little wizards cried out in surprise as soon as they appeared.
Then as soon as the music changed, they immediately started dancing to the rhythm.
At this time, Kyle also understood why Nick, who was almost headless, was so upset when he learned that the dance troupe was coming to Hogwarts.
Although at first seeing these moving skeletons, it was a little scary, but when they danced to the music, the emotion quickly disappeared.
It was the first time for Kyle to see elegance in the skeletons. Every movement of them was full of beauty and power.
The terrifying appearance and graceful dance steps... This huge contrast caused deafening cheers in the auditorium.
That is, from here on, the applause in the auditorium almost never stopped.
Especially in the last dance, they chose a more upbeat and exciting music.
"Magic Things"
It is also the most famous song of the Weird Sisters.
Amidst a series of cheerful drumbeats, some little wizards couldn't help but jumped up.
At first it was just Fred and George, and a few Gryffindors, entertaining themselves, but as the music wore on, more and more people joined in.
Even at the guest table, Lockhart left his seat and jumped up. He is not good at teaching, but he dances very well.
He also wanted to invite other professors to dance together, but both Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout refused.
However, Professor Carey Dibbaji, who is in charge of Muggle research, readily accepted his invitation, got up and went to the dance floor together.
Dumbledore was laughing and beating time for them.
The song ended, but the cheerful atmosphere was still spreading in the auditorium. The students shouted and wanted them to dance again!
Dumbledore stood up and motioned for everyone to be quiet.
"Dancing...is more powerful than any words," he said with a smile, "but it's just as important to feed your stomach."
As soon as he finished speaking, the empty plates on the table were filled with all kinds of delicious food.
Pumpkin Grilled Chicken, Grilled Steak with Pumpkin Sauce, Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Bisque, Pumpkin Pudding…
All are pumpkins, and the main thing is an occasion.
"It's a good thing we didn't go to the underground classroom with Potter..."
Cedric also jumped for a while just now, and now the excitement has not passed, he couldn't help but said to Kyle: "This Halloween banquet is really great, do you think Principal Dumbledore will invite them again next year?" ?”
