Chapter Ninety-Eight: Nick's Invitation

Ryan's so-called new magic was actually learned from the Maoshan Taoist book, and he felt that this magic on ghosts should make Nick happy.

So in Nick's curious eyes, Ryan took out a small incense burner, a handful of incense sticks, and a pair of candles from the space bag. Finally, he took out two pieces of chocolate from the pocket of his robe.

After taking the things, Ryan arranged the incense burner and candles on the chest in front of him, and then placed the chocolate behind the incense burner. Once everything was in place, Ryan lit two candles with his wand.

Ryan then picked up a handful of incense sticks and lit them on the candle, then held the incense with his eyes closed and chanted.

Nick didn't know what Ryan was doing, but he could tell from Ryan's actions that he was serious about it, so Nick kept quiet at this time to avoid disturbing Ryan.

For a moment, the pantry fell silent. Only Ryan's soft chanting echoed through the room. Outside, there seemed to be someone in wet shoes, tapping and tapping through the hallway, and the sound of footsteps was particularly clear at this time.

After three or four minutes, Nick saw Ryan put the incense in his hand into the censer. Then open your eyes and blow the incense.

I saw that after the incense stick was blown by this breath, it was all burned in a few seconds. The smoke from the combustion is absorbed by the chocolate on the table.

After blowing that breath, Ryan returned to his normal state. He picked up the chocolate on the table and handed it to Nick and said, "Sir, you can have some chocolate, it will help you get your mood up." ”

Nick reached for the chocolate in Ryan's hand and said, "I'm glad you came to comfort me, but you need to know that we ghosts can't ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Nick's face changed dramatically, as he could feel as if he had gotten something, a feeling he hadn't felt in 500 years. After all, in the entire Hogwarts ghosts, only Peeves, a ghost who is not a ghost, can touch the real thing, and other ghosts can't touch things.

Nick withdrew his hand and found that the two pieces of chocolate were still in Ryan's hand. However, he held two milky white translucent chocolates in his palms.

"What is this?" Nick asked Ryan, somewhat surprised.

"You know, my bloodlines come from the East. Recently I learned some oriental magic, and this is one of them, through the power of incense so that ghosts can also enjoy food. ”

Nick put a piece of chocolate in his mouth with a shocked expression, and then Ryan saw tears running down his eyes, after all, he hadn't eaten in 500 years.

After eating two chocolates with tears in his eyes, Ryan noticed that the frustration on Nick's face was gone. He happily said to Ryan, "Thank you for letting me taste the delicious food again, compared to this, not being in the Headless Horsemen is not a big deal for me." ”

After saying that, Nick suddenly squirmed: "Ryan - I think I have a presumptuous request - no, it's too much, you've helped a lot, I shouldn't have brought it up-"

"Sir, what exactly are you trying to say?" asked Ryan, looking at a confused Nick.

"Well, I just wanted to ask you if that magic was very difficult for you, because I think you were casting a spell without a wand. Nick finally asked his question.

"It's not too difficult, this belongs to the magic of the Celestial Empire system. It's like African wizards cast spells without wands. So it's not as hard as it seems. But I can only make five or six of these dishes a day that the ghosts can eat. And these foods are kept for up to seven days. Ryan replied.

"That's what it looks like. After struggling for a long time, Nick finally said his request. "This Halloween is my 500th birthday, and I will be inviting ghosts from all over the UK to my inheritance feast. Can you prepare food for me at the banquet?"

Speaking of this, Nick thought of something again and quickly added: "Of course, this will take up a lot of your time and energy, so I will have a generous gift for you." You know, I've lived in this castle for 500 years and know a lot of secrets that no one else knows. ”

"Well, I promised you. Ryan replied. "When you call me a week before Halloween, we'll start working in the Responsive Room. But I can say in advance, my cooking level is very average, I guess you have to find someone else to cook. ”

"That's fine, I'll just tell the house-elf in the kitchen. Nick was very happy to hear Ryan's agreement, and hurriedly promised that Ryan would not have to think about the meal, and that it would be enough to leave it to him.

Afterwards, Nick's happy Ryan said goodbye because he had to spend days thinking about what the recipe would be. After that, you can surprise all the ghosts at the party.

After seeing Nick leave through the wall, Ryan returns to the Gryffindor common room.

The common room is very lively, because the weather is not very good these days, so everyone wants to be able to stay in the warm common room.

At this time, the Weasley brothers were feeding a salamander and struggled to pull out the fireworks, causing the salamander to fly around the break room with the light of fire and the sound of explosions. Luckily, fireworks in the wizarding world can't ignite anything under the influence of magic, otherwise it would be too easy to start a fire in a house full of flammable items such as carpets, tapestries, and wooden furniture.

Percy was heard scolding the twins and some of his classmates cheering.

At this time, Ryan squeezed into the crowd and handed Fred some of the data he had learned from Madam Pomfrey about the human body, because they had said they were going to study some interesting candy.

Ryan suspects they're starting to study fast-acting truancy candy now, which is why they need this data to determine the dosage of some medications.

Taking the little notebook that Ryan handed him, Fred asked Ryan, "Hey, Ryan." Would you like to join us in our research? Ryan didn't have time to answer. Percy popped up from the side and asked, "I hope you don't do some messy research, or I'll write to my mother." ”

"No, of course not. George replied. "We just wanted to ask Ryan a few questions about potion brewing and the use of some healing spells, because we saw Madam Pomfrey teaching him alone in the hospital the other day. ”

"Really?" Percy asked, somewhat agitated.

"Yes. Ryan nodded.

After that, Percy expressed a series of emotions about the behavior of the twin prodigal sons. In the end, I finally waited for Percy to finish speaking and left.

When Percy is seen going to reprimand a group of first-year students who are noisy and disturbing others. Ryan told the twins that he was honored to join them in their study.

Ryan was curious to see what new ideas the twins would have when they had themselves on board, with more money, materials, and knowledge to invest.
