Chapter 461 The completion of the black magic transformation ritual and the arrival of Halloween

After chatting with Dumbledore for a while, Andy and Hermione left the principal's office.

Originally, Andy thought Dumbledore would ask about Malfoy, but Andy had already thought of how to answer him on the way here.

But Dumbledore didn't ask anything. He called Andy over this time, as if he was just to warn Andy to keep the secret.

Andy was still a little confused.

…

Time passed day by day, and Andy's campus life returned to peace.

But what is different from the past is that in addition to learning and practicing magic, Andy will occasionally go on dates with Hermione to promote their relationship.

In third grade, Andy can go to Hogsmeade to play openly.

But Hogsmeade is just a small village after all, and after visiting it a few times, it won't be anything new.

In terms of eating, drinking and having fun, the wizarding world is far behind the Muggle world.

During this period, nothing happened at Hogwarts, but a big event happened in the magical world.

Fudge finally stepped down.

Under tremendous pressure from public opinion, Fudge voluntarily resigned as Minister of Magic. Amelia Bones succeeded him as the new Minister of Magic.

The change of power in the Ministry of Magic suddenly made Susan Bones a famous figure in the school. She is the niece of Amelia Bones, a Hufflepuff student in the same class as Andy.

Among all the people who were 'friends' with Susan Bones, the Slytherin students were the most enthusiastic - they would do anything to gain power.

I heard that some people use the beauty trap.

During this time, Andy finally saw what it means to be a licking dog.

Slytherin is really licking!

And Slytherin's dog-licking behavior also made Gryffindor extremely disdainful - they disdain to do this kind of thing.

This further aggravated the conflict between the two colleges.

One sentence is enough to describe the relationship between Gryffindor and Slytherin at the moment.

But this has nothing to do with Andy.

On the evening of October 28th, Andy controlled Reed to complete the final black magic transformation ritual.

Next, Andy only needs to wait patiently for the arrival of the new moon, and then he can brew the black magic transformation potion.

Everything is ready.

Now everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.

At this point in the experiment, everything went surprisingly smoothly.

Reed was still unable to break free from the control of the Imperius Curse, which also gave Andy a new understanding of the 'three unforgivable curses'.

The Imperius Curse... In a sense, using this magic is indeed unforgivable.

Because no one wants to be unscrupulously manipulated by others.

In addition to this, there is one more thing worth mentioning.

Snape had been getting increasingly irritable lately.

Andy went to see him several times, but Snape always avoided him. Even if they met, they would not say anything.

During class, Snape would find trouble with Harry whenever he had the chance. But looking at Harry's attitude... Andy felt that Harry might prefer the current Snape.

At least that's normal.

After looking for Snape several times, Andy gave up.

If you don’t want to say it, don’t say it!

Although Andy was curious about what Snape found in the Death Hall, curiosity did not mean being anxious.

Just looking at Snape's current state... Andy felt that maybe Snape would be the first to be unable to bear it.

…

As the time approaches the end of October, the atmosphere at Hogwarts begins to become cheerful.

Because Halloween is coming.

"I've always had a bad feeling lately." In the corridor, Andy said with a confident look.

"What's wrong?"

Hermione asked curiously: "Did you make any predictions again?"

"That's not..."

Andy touched his nose and said, "Hermione, do you still remember? There were attacks every time on Halloween two years ago."

"Maybe this is the curse of Halloween!"

Hermione: "..."

"Andy, that's just a coincidence." Hermione shook her head, looking helpless at being defeated by Andy.

"A curse is just a coincidence of fate."

Andy raised his eyebrows, and then said with great interest: "How about we make a bet?"

"Okay! How do you want to bet?" Hermione suddenly became interested.

Andy said: "Let's bet on whether something will happen to Hogwarts on Halloween this year. The loser must promise the winner a condition that does not violate the principle... How about?"

"I'm OK!"

Hermione nodded and said confidently: "You are destined to lose. There is no possibility of a Halloween curse."

"besides……"

Having said this, Hermione suddenly turned to look at Andy, "If it was you who caused the trouble, it doesn't count."

Andy: "..."

this……

This is Andy's sure-fire trick.

If you can't cause trouble on your own, isn't it a sure defeat?

To be honest, even Andy himself doesn't believe there is any Halloween curse.

"how?"

Hermione immediately smiled when she saw this: "Are you going to admit defeat?"

"Admit defeat? How is that possible?"

Andy chuckled and said confidently: "Just wait and see."

Make a bet with a girl... If you win, you will make money, and if you lose, you will definitely not lose.

No matter how he thought about it, Andy felt that he had won.

"As long as you don't deliberately cause trouble, I will win." Hermione said proudly.

"Of course not," Andy said.

…

On Halloween, Hogwarts held a grand dinner.

Andy and Hermione sat at the long Ravenclaw table, chatting about interesting topics while eating the food on the table.

Of course, for Andy and Hermione, magic is the most interesting topic.

Hmm... Although it is strange to talk about magic at a Halloween dinner, the little wizards in Ravenclaw have long been used to it.

After all, since the founding of Hogwarts, no couple has ever brought a stack of magic books with them on a date in Hogsmeade.

Others go on dates and do whatever.

Andy and Hermione's date was basically a different place to study. Sometimes when you are tired of studying, you will do something else.

Seeing that the Halloween dinner was coming to an end, Hermione smiled triumphantly at Andy and said, "Andy, it looks like I won."

Andy spread his hands and said with a smile: "Congratulations."

Hermione asked in surprise: "You don't look too depressed?"

"Do you think I should be depressed?"

Andy smiled and asked: "Although I lost the bet, I got something more important."

Hermione rolled her eyes at Andy when she heard this.

"Maybe you won't think so soon." The little witch made a fierce expression.

"Then I'll wait for you to make conditions." Andy smiled.

There were no attacks at Hogwarts until the end of the dinner.

This disappointed Andy a little.

It seems like the Halloween curse really doesn't exist.
