Chapter 27 Before the Halloween Chapter

In the lobby, Harry and Ron were sitting at a long table eating lunch. When they saw Wright who had just finished practicing magic, they waved their hands and called him over.

"Here, here."

"Where have you been? Why do you look so tired every day?" Ron couldn't help but ask as he looked at Wright's tired expression.

"I was scared by the three-headed dog. I just practiced the spell more." Wright replied casually while cutting the steak on the plate.

Harry and Ron couldn't help shrinking their heads when they heard this. They seemed to remember the horror of that scene. They didn't say anything more.

For so many days, after Wright learned the Fiery Curse, he never went to the restricted book area again, but kept practicing magic and consuming his magic power.

Just when Wright was enjoying his meal, a message came from the stone tablet:

"Magic value increases by 1, magic value: 2"

Wright was stunned when he received the message, and then he realized that it was because he had been casting spells at a high intensity these days, consuming his magic power, which had been trained and strengthened.

Thinking of this, Wright couldn't help but sigh, "I've worked so hard! I don't want to work hard anymore. I want to add some points." He looked at the mileage point of only four points again, and felt even more depressed.

In the following time, Wright had classes during the day, and practiced magic when he had no classes. At night, he occasionally sneaked into the forbidden book area to steal books to study. His seven points of black magic talent were enough to suppress most of the forbidden books.

There are only a few banned books that are so scary that you can tell from their names that they cannot be read normally.

Professor Snape made things difficult for Harry every day, so that after every Potions class, Harry looked disheartened. As a result, the Iron Trio felt that Professor Snape was not a good person.

Wright didn't explain anything further. After all, he really didn't look like a good person. There was no need to force an explanation.

Some time after Harry was attacked by the cult.

After he received the "Nimbus 2000" anonymously sent by Professor McGonagall, he became very popular again! Almost all the young wizards were very envious, after all, this was considered a luxury sports car in the wizarding world.

Apart from that, there were no major changes in the class.

Only the smell around Quirrell became even more indescribable, the mixture of multiple smells making people feel sick.

All the young wizards were more afraid of his class than Potions class.

Wright covered his nose and watched Quirrell stammering as he lectured at the podium, guarding against possible temptations.

Transfiguration has improved a little under Professor McGonagall's instruction.

Magizoology was added to the class of Professor Sproul, the Herbology teacher.

In the middle, Ron and Harry dragged her to watch a Quidditch match. After Ron saw Slytherin win, he started to criticize Slytherin for being mean and the goalkeeper for being incompetent.

With that weird expression and twisted body, Wright almost thought he was going to mutate.

……

Wright Ruggs (Zhou Yang)

Magic power: 2 (normal adult wizard magic power is 5)

Mileage points: 4

Magic: White Magic: 3 Transfiguration: 2

Black magic: 7

Skills: Potions: 2 Magizoology: 1

Wright looked at the information extracted by Legilimency and compared it secretly. He roughly calculated that except for black magic, he was about the level of a fifth grader. And that was after he added two points in white magic.

After reading for a long time, Wright removed the information in front of him and continued to eat the pizza in front of him. He secretly admired the cooking skills of the house elves trained by the first generation Hufflepuff headmaster.

While Wright was eating happily, he heard Harry and Ron discussing Halloween.

When I listened more carefully, I found that everyone in the lobby was discussing the Halloween party.

Wright was eating pizza, feeling that time was passing so quickly. Suddenly, he paused as if he had thought of something.

"Wait a minute, I remember a troll would run into the ladies' room on Halloween. Could it be that Quirrell didn't bother me, and was trying to get the troll into Hogwarts?"

"Quirrell is a great worker! He has to find the troll, get it into Hogwarts without hurting it, teach classes in four houses, and be controlled by his boss, Voldemort. He's really a hard worker."

Wright praised Quirrell with empathy.

"Then I can have a fight with the troll and test my level."

Wright chewed his pizza while making a decision.

Time flies, and soon it is October 10st, Halloween Eve.

When Wright woke up in the morning, he smelled the sweet smell of roasted pumpkin. Countless ghosts were flying in the air, decorating the castle for the upcoming Halloween.

Walking in the corridor, the atmosphere is full of festivals. Various strange Halloween decorations and carved pumpkins of all sizes are placed all over the castle, with candles waiting to be lit at night.

Peeves seemed to be stimulated by this atmosphere and became more active. From time to time, the castle was filled with the screams of the little wizard and the laughter of Peeves.

Wright looked at the decorations all around the castle and the ghosts flying around, feeling very novel.

With everyone looking forward to it, time quickly turned to the afternoon. After finishing a day's classes, the little wizards welcomed the night with excitement.

After nightfall, the pumpkin lanterns decorated in various places of the castle light up at the same time, appearing bright and dim. The ghosts also seem to have changed their appearance, and the few ghosts Wright knew were wearing different decorations than usual.

Wright followed the crowd into the auditorium. Pumpkin lanterns were placed on the four long tables, and a full moon was hanging on the starry ceiling of the auditorium.

Countless pumpkin lanterns with dim lights were floating in the air, many bats made of candy were flying around, and a group of ghosts were humming in the air.

When everyone was seated, Dumbledore clapped his hands, just like the opening banquet, and countless delicacies appeared on the table. At the same time, drinks appeared in the glasses in front of everyone.

"Where's Hermione? Isn't she with you?" In the hall, at the long table of Gryffindor, Wright asked Harry and Ron who were preparing to eat in a somewhat curious manner.

"Ah! This!..." Ron looked embarrassed and stammered without saying anything.

Harry, who couldn't stand it anymore, took over the conversation and said that Ron secretly said bad things about Hermione at noon, and Hermione heard it.

"She's always been like this, I'm just stating the facts." Ron said in a panic.

"It's trouble! I was careless. I didn't expect you guys would still have a conflict." Wright frowned.

At this moment, the door to the auditorium was suddenly thrown open. Quirrell seemed to be chased by something terrifying.

He rushed to Dumbledore's desk with a horrified look on his face, and said breathlessly: "The troll! In... the basement! In the classroom, I thought - you... knew...."

After saying that, he leaned to the side and fell down.
