Chapter 14: The Story of Halloween
Back in Ravenclaw in the evening, Holly did not tell anyone about his conversation with McGonagall that afternoon. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info The fact that there was no presence in the hall at dinner and no one found out. Only the people around Holly noticed that Holly was talking less and less, and every day Holly went to bed later and got up earlier and earlier.
Deeply disturbed by roommates, Lily Dupin and Erinka Sterling, tried to reach out to Prefect Penelope for help, only to be told that someone would monitor all aspects of Holly's situation and that they did not need to worry. And when the two of them found Dean Flitwick uneasily, the answers they received were not much different. And Flitwick revealed a little bit of information to the two of them, which greatly stimulated the two. Flitwick told them that Holly was in good shape and was being looked after.
Time flies, and Harry Potter's Aura 2000 causes only a small stir among the students, and it quickly fades away. And the fact that he became a first-year Quidditch player did not break out under the suppression of those who had a heart. After all, as the savior of Harry Potter and the sole heir of the Potter family, one of the twelve Hogwarts trustees, it is only natural that Harry Potter enjoys privileges... And the decrease in the number of times Heli appears in public makes more students feel relaxed, after all, they don't need to care about so much aristocratic etiquette, and for these teenage children, it is also a big burden.
Lily and Erinka, on the other hand, finally gave up after being dumped after many times of tracking Holly. They set their sights on Halloween, and on this day, everyone could not escape the Halloween dinner and another school-wide dinner.
When Halloween pumpkins popped up in every corner of the school, when the scent of pumpkins permeated the castle, when the vast majority of people were in the hall, Holly still didn't show up. Lily and Erinka had already taken their place for Holly. In a corner, next to Lily, there was an empty seat across from Erinka. Many of the Ravenclaw students who wanted to come and sit down were persuaded to leave. The place of the countess is not something they can sit in, even if the last seat will be empty...
The dinner party started at 7 p.m., and when it came to 6:55 p.m., Holly was late. Seeing that the vacant spot had been given to her, Holly smiled awkwardly. It seems that there is no way to hide from it... Coming to the Ravenclaw table, Holly bowed slightly to the teacher's seat as usual, and the teachers bowed slightly. After all, it's the same authority at Hogwarts, and too much of a show-up can give people a bad feeling.
Upon entering the hall, Holly heard the first-year student talking about what had happened in Gryffindor Charms class. Due to the strong performance of Ravenclaw and Slachlin students in their coursework, Gryffindor rarely received extra points in class, and given Gryffindor's long-standing ability to cause trouble and deduct points, the increasing point difference put the entire Gryffindor house in a state of being on the verge of exploding. And it just so happened that during Halloween morning Charms lesson, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger played the role of Mars, who detonated the powder keg. What happened to Gryffindor had no effect on Helly.
Sitting back at the Ravenclaw table, Holly realizes that he has underestimated Lily and Erinka's preparations, and is overwhelmed by the frequency of machine-gun questioning from two men. In the end, Holly had to reveal a little reason, saying that he knew some of his life experience, and then looked up some relevant information... Hearing this, Lily and Erinka decide to bypass Holly for the time being. After all, the affairs of each family are not something that outsiders can interfere in. Lily easily believed Holly's words, and Erinka decided to talk to Holly after the dinner.
The dinner was interrupted as soon as Quirrell arrived, sending the hall into chaos. And Dumbledore's order was to put an end to the original sumptuous Halloween celebration. Erinka and Lily, who were standing in the first-year team, pulled Holly from left to right, for fear of losing Holly's figure again in a blink of an eye. The trio who returned to the Ravenclaw Tower, did not stay in the common room to wait for news. Girls, after the first night of school, I am going to take this opportunity to have a good exchange again.
When Lily went to take a shower, leaving Erinka and Holly behind, Erinka suddenly turned to Holly with a very serious expression.
"Holly, Lily isn't here now, you can tell me what's going on. ”
"Erinka, what are you talking about, why don't I understand what you mean?" Holly tried to make an innocent look to confuse him.
"I don't know if others know, but I know who you are now. Chief Wizard of Wizengamot, Governor of Hogwarts XII. Although we in the Stirling family are also one of the twelve school trustees, we only served as school directors in the form of a family before becoming patriarchs or being recognized by the family. At the age of 11, I think you should be the first to become a school manager in your own capacity. ”
"Erinka, where did you hear that, how could I be the Chief Wizard of Wizengamot..."
"This... I don't know what happens to the other families, but I can tell you that you've been the focus of attention of all pure-blood nobles since Dumbledore was deposed as Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot. Although your background is cleverly hidden, we can still guess a little. I guess your change must have something to do with that Harry Potter..."Erinka said aggressively, her white eyes staring at Holly's brown eyes, trying to confirm Holly's reaction.
"Well, Erinka, what should I do to you... Or can you keep it a secret for me, you know, the more you know, the more tired you are..."
"What would you do if I couldn't keep it a secret for you?
"Maybe, but it seems like you'll be a good partner for me. Holly hissed as a passage suddenly appeared in front of them.
"That's... Snake language?" As a close relative of Slyerine, the Sterling family still has some knowledge of snake language.
"Yes, I don't know when it will, but this one has helped me a lot... In Hogwarts, I can find easy access to anywhere at any time in this way. Holly pulled Erinka into the hallway. "Now, then, let's go and see the legendary Harry Potter who changed me so much. ”
