Chapter 103: Shocking Changes in Halloween

In the spacious auditorium, candles were lit brightly, illuminating the countless Halloween costumes inside!

The moon was in the sky, and wizards from the four academies walked into the auditorium one after another.

As people walked into the hall, Wright walked to the Gryffindor table and sat down, waiting for the banquet to begin.

At this time, Neville came over and asked curiously, "Where are Harry and the other three? Why don't I see them?"

"They have other things to do and probably can't come!" Wright didn't say where Harry and the others went, he just said they were all busy.

"Is that so? That's a shame. I heard Dumbledore has booked a troupe of skeleton dancers."

After knowing that Harry and the others would not show up, Neville's face was full of regret.

"It's really a pity! But is this skeleton dance troupe real?" Wright cleverly changed the subject and asked about something he was concerned about!

"It should be true. The whole academy is spreading the word!" Neville said seriously after the subject was changed.

Just as the two were discussing whether the Skeleton Dance Troupe should come over to perform, Dumbledore, wearing a black pointed hat and pumpkin glasses, walked onto the stage from a small door at the side.

He said to the wizards in the audience: "I will not disturb your interest in this dinner, everyone just enjoy the festival!"

After finishing speaking, Principal Deng waved his right hand, and countless delicacies appeared on the long table.

The wizards around were a little disappointed when they saw that the meal was ready but they didn't see the Skeleton Dance Troupe appear. However, after being attracted by the delicious food, they turned their disappointment into appetite and started to eat.

Looking at the many delicious foods on the table, Wright took out the thermos box he had prepared in advance and packed the food while eating, which surprised Neville next to him!

After eating and drinking, the dinner is coming to an end!

Under Dumbledore's direction, everyone sang the school song in unison, and the dinner ended in a warm atmosphere.

The students walked out of the auditorium in twos and threes, all preparing to go back to the lounge to rest and then continue playing.

Amid the crowd, Wright carried the incubator box and walked towards the Gryffindor common room with Neville.

However, as soon as we left the auditorium and went upstairs to the floor where the crowd was being diverted, the noise in front of us disappeared.

Seeing this scene, Wright's expression changed slightly, as if he had thought of something, and thought to himself: "No way! This hasn't changed?"

"What's wrong?" Neville looked at Wright in confusion, with a strange look on his face.

"It's okay, I'll go see what happened up ahead. Keep it for me." After saying that, Wright handed the incubator to Neville and squeezed forward.

Squeezing to the front of the crowd, Wright saw the wall in front of him. Mrs. Norris, Filch's cat.

At this moment, the tail was wrapped around the torch hook and hung on the wall along with the torch.

Its body was extremely stiff, as if it had been dead for a long time. On the top of the wall, someone had written in red paint:

"The secret room has been opened. Those who are enemies of the heir, beware!"

At this moment, Malfoy also squeezed through the crowd, walked in front of everyone, showed a ferocious smile, and said to the uneasy Harry and the other two:

"An enemy of the heir, beware! You're next, Mudblood!"

"So, it was you who did what happened to Mrs. Norris!" Wright squeezed out of the crowd, stood next to Harry and the other two, and directly put the blame on Malfoy.

When Malfoy heard the voice, the wild smile on his face froze.

Feeling everyone's scrutiny, Malfoy was about to stiffen his neck and admit it.

"What happened here? Move aside, let me pass!" Filch, who was attracted by the commotion here, forced his way through the crowd.

Seeing Mrs. Norris on the wall, who looked like she had been dead for a long time, Filch covered his face in horror and screamed, "My cat, my Mrs. Norris!"

At this time, Filch noticed the four people, Wright, standing in the front. He shouted with a ferocious look on his face: "You, it must be you, I won't let you go..."

"enough!"

A loud and deep voice interrupted Filch's harsh words, and all the students made way for the newcomer.

Dumbledore walked out of the crowd with the professors and took a general look at the surrounding situation.

He went straight past Wright who was in the front and took Mrs. Loris off the torch stand.

"Who discovered this place first?" Professor McGonagall took over from Principal Dunn and began to ask questions.

Harry and the other two quickly raised their hands.

"Then follow me! Filch, Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, Miss Granger."

"And you, Mr. Rags!" Principal Deng, who was studying cats, added another name when Professor McGonagall called on the good people.

At this time, Lockhart showed a shining smile, walked forward and said, "My office is the nearest, Principal. We can go directly there."

"Thank you! Gilderoy!" After saying this, Principal Deng followed the path where the students separated and walked to Lockhart's office first.

Professor McGonagall was left behind to arrange the evacuation of the students.

Wright looked at Neville in the crowd, who was holding an incubator and looked confused and shocked, and nodded slightly to indicate that everything was fine.

When Principal Deng walked into Lockhart's office, he ignored the photos of Lockhart's shining smile hanging around him.

He went straight to the desk, placed Mrs. Loris on it, and began to examine it carefully.

Lockhart boasted: "This must be a cruel curse. If I had been there, such a terrible thing would not have happened."

When Filch heard Lockhart's boasting, he was already on the verge of collapse, and he broke down instantly and burst into tears.

With the response, Lockhart became more excited and continued to talk about his past glorious deeds.

The surrounding photos seemed to be set in motion, and they smiled even more brightly as he boasted.

"It's not dead yet, Filch!"

Just when Filch was crying and almost out of breath, Captain Dunham interrupted Lockhart's boasting.

"But, but, why does it..." Filch sobbed and couldn't finish his words.

"It's petrified!" Without waiting for Principal Deng to speak, Wright, who couldn't bear to watch it any longer, spoke directly.

Principal Deng took out his magic wand after a long absence. A light flashed, but the stiff cat still did not move.

At this time, everyone's eyes turned to Wright, who could only continue to explain:

"This is an extremely powerful petrification spell. It requires an adult Mandrake to prepare a potion in order to restore it."

Just when everyone was thinking about the truth in Wright's words.

"I can prepare it! I have made this potion no less than a hundred times, and I am so skilled that I can sign and prepare it at the same time."

Lockhart broke the silent atmosphere in the office with strong confidence!

"Excuse me, I am the professor of Potions here!" Professor St. said coldly, and then changed the subject to Harry and the other two beside him and asked:

"Potter~, you were the first to arrive at the scene, right?"
