Chapter Ninety-Nine: Banquet Preparations

The time quickly arrived and it was a week before Halloween. At noon that day, after delivering Mr. Wolf a large package of Muggle novels and retrieving the books he had lent him last time, he met Colin Creevy in the hallway of the castle with a message from Nick: assemble at the predetermined location at seven o'clock in the afternoon.

It looks like preparations for Nick's Halloween feast are about to begin, Ryan thought as he returned to the common room. Just in time to meet Hermione waiting for him.

Because the last time they met Mr. Wolfe, Wolf suggested that life in the Forbidden Forest was too boring, and asked them if they had any means of entertainment. And Hermione, who likes to read, proposes that reading is a good entertainment.

So Ryan and Hermione lent Wolf some of the books they had brought to school for leisure, and they had a discussion about which one Wolf preferred. So Hermione now blocked Ryan to find out what Wolfe's taste in reading was.

Wolf said he liked all his books because he was so bored that he wanted to read any piece of paper with words five times. ”

"It seems that he is still a studious wolf, and I can ask my father to send me my encyclopedia next time. "Hermione has a crush on all creatures who love to learn, even if he is a wolf, and is willing to satisfy the wolf's curiosity.

Soon the day's classes were over, and everything was fine except for Lockhart's drama class. I really don't understand why Dumbledore invited such a person to be a teacher, is it to tell everyone what is a typical failure?

Immediately after dinner, Ryan rushed to the Room of Need, ready to start making a feast for ghosts.

When he entered, he found that Nick was already waiting there with five or six dishes. Every dish was piping hot and looked better than the one in the cafeteria. Come to think of it, even if the house-elves have such magical magic. There's no way to make a cafeteria pot of rice as delicate and delicious as a meal made individually.

After that, Ryan began to cast spells, and after more than half an hour, he finally successfully transformed the six dishes on the table into a soul state.

At this point, Ryan took out the rune paper and pasted it on the plate, and then told Nick to ask the elf to move the plate to the designated place, but never remove the rune paper. Because of the effect of these runes, the plates in these physical states can hold soul food, and once the rune paper is removed, it will be impossible to carry them.

After making the food, Ryan tasted the leftovers. It turned out that although the appearance of the food had not changed, it had lost all its flavor and tasted similar to that of chewing plastic.

Later, a tired Ryan sat on the couch chatting with Nick, and suddenly Ryan thought that the ghosts that Nick knew were scattered all over the UK, and some of them were even witnesses to some important historical events, and maybe they could ask something interesting.

So Ryan asked Nick, "By the way, can I attend your banquet as a living person?"

Nick was a little surprised and said, "I'd be more than welcome for you to attend, but I think you might prefer the school banquet to our gloomy banquet." That's why I didn't dare to invite you. It's not just you, you can even bring your friends along, and I think the more people, the better. ”

After returning to the common room, Ryan announced the incident in the study group, but most of the students did not want to attend the banquet. Ron, for example, who was writing his Potions homework, thought it was strange to celebrate his death, and he thought the party would be very dull. Most of the other students also have this view.

Hermione told Ryan that she would go, though. After all, she hadn't found a few living people in the books who had attended such a banquet. Not to mention that Ryan told her that many of the book's most important events would also be attended.

The next day, when Ryan went to the Room of Requirement, Hermione followed. Because she was curious about how Ryan made human food into ghost food.

Nick expressed his sincere gratitude to Hermione for her participation, and Hermione kept an eye on Ryan trying to learn the trick while he cast the spell. Unfortunately, the language barrier couldn't be passed at all, and she couldn't understand what Lane meant in Chinese.

In the end, Hermione had to give up on her plan to learn this magic that he had never seen before, but at the same time, she also lamented the magic of Eastern magic, and complained that there were very few records about Hogwarts in the Eastern world, which could not satisfy her curiosity.

Two days before Halloween, Ryan and Hermione had just walked into the Room of Requirement when they saw Nick spinning around in mid-air with an impatient expression.

Seeing this, Ryan quickly asked, "What happened?" I see you're a little frustrated. ”

"I made a big mistake. Nick said with some reproach. "Because I want everyone to taste all kinds of delicious food, every dish I prepare is different. But today I found out that you don't have cutlery at all. So how do you eat these steaks or something, you can't take a bite of it. But if you don't have enough time to cut it and then switch it, what should I do now?"

Ryan listened to Nick's words and asked, "Didn't you say that ghosts can carry things from their previous lives?"

"yes, but no one will die with utensils. Not to mention that in my time, everyone used to eat with their hands after cutting with a knife, and the dinner fork was not yet popular. And in older times, like the Slytherin era, there were no knives and forks. ”

"You don't have to worry, I have a way. With that, Ryan pulled out a straw sword from the space pouch he was carrying, and smeared the blood on the sword after biting the tip of his index finger.

Hermione saw that when the blood was smeared, there seemed to be a faint flash of light on the sword. But when she looked closely, she saw that the sword didn't seem to have changed.

Ryan then held the hilt of his sword and slashed at the soul-state steak on the table, and the steak was split into two sections.

"How did you do that?" Hermione asked, wide-eyed and surprised.

"I just tried it, but I didn't expect it to work. After all, the book only says that the calamus sword can kill evil ghosts, and it is a weapon to drive away evil spirits in the East, but the book does not say that it can do this. ”

After listening to Ryan's words, Nick suddenly rushed over. Even though Ryan quickly withdrew his sword, the blade still made a small cut on the back of Nick's hand.

Seeing Nick staring at the wound on the back of his hand in a daze, Ryan thought he was worried about his serious injury. So he hurriedly told him: "The calamus sword is the same as the ordinary sword is to the human body, you are almost like us ordinary people who have been stabbed, and it will be fine in a few days, don't worry too much." ”

Unexpectedly, after hearing these words, Nick suddenly knelt down on one knee and folded his hands and said, "Mr. Liang, I ask you for one thing, please be sure to promise me." ”
