"Holly, Holly?" Erinka reached out and shook Holly's eyes, trying to regain Holly's attention, but Holly's sudden stoppage of speech made her feel a little puzzled. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"What's wrong, Erinka. After several unsuccessful attempts to hear better, Holly turned his attention back.

"What can I do, why did you suddenly lose your mind just now?"

"Don't you hear something?"

"What, it was so quiet just now, how could there be any sound I couldn't hear?"

"There's... I can understand it, but you can't..."

Holly and Erinka's eyes widened suddenly, and they just lip-synced with each other, and then realized that they were trying to say the same thing...

"Looks like we're going to need to use our clearance to look up more information at Hogwarts. ”

"But it's just a matter of checking the information, and I think there will be follow-up events. After all, this is Hogwarts, and we don't need to be too careful to protect ourselves completely. Holly squeezed her eyes at Erinka after speaking, and it was clear that someone else had already been calculated by her.

When the library was almost complete, Holly skillfully opened the passage to the Ravenclaw girls' dormitory and took a shortcut with Erinka to rest. Meanwhile, Ginny Weasley, in the Gryffindor girls' dormitory, suddenly came to her senses, having no memory of what she had done in the previous hours, and on the table in front of her was a worn-out diary with the name Tom Marvolo Riddle on the cover.

The time is fast approaching Halloween... The school students were guessing what the Halloween feast was all about, the hall was decorated with live bats, and Hagrid's large pumpkin was made into a lantern enough for three people to sit in. Rumor has it that Dundedo has booked a skeleton dance troupe to perform. However, all this makes the first and second graders look forward to Halloween. For the second graders, this should actually be their first full Halloween dinner at school. After all, in the first grade, the appearance of the mountain monster interrupted the Halloween dinner, which also made the originally good holiday atmosphere collapse in an instant, and the Halloween holiday did not have a holiday feeling at all.

It's just that for some others, the Halloween holiday isn't so enjoyable. Harry Potter had agreed to attend his death dinner because of Nick, who was almost headless. He also agreed to bring Hermione and Ron together, of course, Hermione and Ron still have some opinions about Harry's decision. After all, no one wants to miss out on a fancy Halloween dinner.

Holly didn't feel the slightest. From the first grade, I was exposed to family affairs, and by the second grade, I was exposed to more information about my family. And this also squeezed her already small amount of free time. More than ten years of things have piled up all at once, and even the most efficient professionals can't handle it in a short time, let alone a 12-year-old girl who has just returned to the wizarding world...

The Halloween dinner, in Holly's view, is more of a waste of time. With this kind of thought, the girl also has a lot of resistance to this school-wide dinner, but it is only an emotion. When the Halloween dinner is about to begin, Holly still appears in the hall, and when she enters, she passes by the Savior Trio...

The Halloween dinner was still very fun, with performances from Dumbledore's favorite skeleton dancing troupe, jokes told by the students, parchment pigeons used to convey messages flying around in the air, and even the teachers in the teacher's seats were relaxed and happily exchanging things with each other, except for Professor Snape, of course...

The face that had not changed for thousands of years made Snape look a little different in this joyful atmosphere, and Flitwick beside him tried several times to start a conversation with him, but to no avail, and had no choice but to give up.

However, when Holly saw this situation, he couldn't help but write something to Snape and pass it on... Although many students were communicating with each other in this way, when everyone saw a carrier pigeon made of parchment flying slowly towards the teacher's seat, especially towards Snape, everyone still put down what they were doing and waited for things to develop. The hall fell silent suddenly. But the two parties did not have such awareness, and they were still doing what they had to do unhurriedly.

In the teacher's seat, Snape opened the note that had floated in front of him.

"Godfather, can I learn Defence Against the Dark Arts with you this semester?"

"Okay. Snape scribbled down three letters and sent the parchment back the way it came. And Holly also burned the parchment with a glance, which made the others sigh for a while. In the whole dinner, he was the only one who had such an interaction with the teachers in the teacher's seat.

Towards the end of the dinner, the whole hall was back to a lively atmosphere. No one knew that a dark cloud was drifting towards Hogwarts, and the panic that followed made Hogwarts almost close its doors.

Just when Holly was looking forward to the dinner party ending soon and going back to the dormitory to rest, a cold voice came again.

“…… Tear...... Bite ...... Kill ......" the cold voice reappeared, "I'm so hungry...... I've been waiting for a long time...... Kill...... It's time to kill ......"

When Holly heard this, she stood up sharply, grabbed Erinka and flashed something to the teacher's seat, and then ran out.

"What's the matter, Holly?" asked Erinka as she followed.

"Snake Whisper, I think something is going to happen to Hogwarts. Holly ran up the second-floor hallway, pricking up his ears and trying to catch the underlying sound, and behind the two of them, there was the sound of a man running by. Farther away, the sound of the students walking in the brigade could also be heard. And in the corridor in front of the two of them, there were also the footsteps of several people...

"Ah......h Holly turned the corner and saw the Savior Trio standing at the end of the corridor on the second floor, and behind them, the cat that had been hanging upside down - Mrs. Norris. The light of the torches on both sides makes the whole atmosphere even more eerie. With the chatter and laughter of the students who had just finished the evening dinner behind him, the atmosphere in the corridor became more and more awkward.

Harry Potter tried to explain something, but he didn't know what to say. And Holly, as well as Erinka behind him and Snape who was the first to arrive, were also silent.

In the silence, a voice shouted. Even though he could only read the words written in blood on the wall, it still made the whole atmosphere even more terrifying.

"Descendants of the enemy, watch out! you are the next target, Muggle blood!"
