Chapter 885: Ready?
“…… You ready! ”
"Oh-"
"I'm asking you, are you ready?"
"Oooh-oh-"
"Damn, are you all imbecile trolls who only shout 'oh-oh' down there?"
"Yes!!"
"Then dance your fat bodies and dance to our music!"
In the Great Hall of Hogwarts Castle, the light flickering on the stage was flying and jumping, and a group of girls dressed up with an unrestrained atmosphere constantly stirred up the emotions of the audience.
Most of them wore deliberately torn black robes, and except for the lead singer in the middle, the other members carried various musical instruments by their side.
Just listening to the beginning of this scene, you can feel that they are proclaiming a feeling of rebellious and releasing youth from the heart.
This is the Weird Sisters, a band that is at the forefront of today's wizarding world1.
"Oh-"
Just as the audience roared along with them, the avant-garde girls on the stage also played the first note of today's special performance, and the effect of the sound reinforcement spell made the shocking unison suddenly flood the entire auditorium.
And it was the next second that the girl who was the lead singer of the band suddenly raised her hand, and her sweetness was accompanied by a lot of hysterical peculiar voices, which penetrated the fans' eardrums at once-
"Even if it's stupid like a troll~?"
"Then rock and roll!?"
"Spinning and swaying like a mad elf~?"
"Jumping out of the stage of life!?"
"Follow the unicorn to self-exaltation~?"
"It's exciting to sunset!?"
"Come and learn to indulge the man-eater!! !? harm"
"Can you dance like a hippony...... horse flies?"
Maca didn't know who wrote the lyrics, but just listening to their rock and roll performances was really good. He stood in the corner of the auditorium, watching the crowd on and off the stage, enjoying the madness for a moment before turning away from the chaos and noise.
Of course, he wasn't enjoying the weird sisters – to be honest, the weird music wasn't to his liking. What he enjoys is the energy that exudes from the audience.
In this period of time, Maca actually needs a lot of encouragement from others, even if it is the kind of inadvertently passed on to him just now.
"Hmm...... It's the lyrics that sound like real earth......"
He shook his head, chuckling as he walked off into the distance.
……
In fact, it's almost noon right now.
The morning had passed like a rushing stream, and many activities were opened one after another, causing the young wizards to rush around the campus and the castle.
Coupled with the arrival of some invited wizards from outside the school, Hogwarts immediately became extremely lively.
In the blink of an eye, the four long tables that had been placed in the auditorium were placed in the open space at the entrance of the castle, and an outdoor buffet lunch began.
“…… Neville? What's wrong with your leg? ”
Harry, who had just arrived here and was about to fill his stomach before continuing to shop, suddenly spotted Neville not far away.
Neville could be seen standing by a Christmas tree with a stiff expression, and Hannah, a fellow Hufflepuff student, was beside him, reaching out to support him.
"Oh, no, nothing...... It's just that there may be a bit of a sequelae......"
Neville was about to take it casually, but Hannah, who was even more heartless than him, rushed to wave his hand.
"Harry—" she said with a cheerful face, "I tell you, Neville was really brave this morning!" He single-handedly defeated a Dementor wearing a Santa hat! Well, it's just that his legs seem to have been frozen by the cold of the Dementors, and he still hasn't recovered yet......"
"Dementors?" Harry suddenly said, "Oh, you've also been to that 'dark magic corridor'?" But...... Does the Dementor's cold hurt your legs...... Neville, I'd suggest you'd better go to the school hospital and have Madam Pomfrey take a look! ”
But before Neville could answer, Hannah preemptively said:
"No, we've been to the school hospital, but Madam Pomfrey says Neville was scared like this—how could that be, you say! Neville defeated the Dementor with the Patronus Charm! ”
She seemed a little upset as she spoke, as if she were saying that Madam Pomfrey was a great liar.
As for Neville, he had already moved his gaze into the distance, pretending to look at the scenery.
"Madam Pomfrey shouldn't go wrong, right? And Neville too—"
"Ahem."
Harry was unusually upright to make his point, but was interrupted by a dry cough from Ron, who had never intended to get involved.
"yes, Neville will be fine. Oh, let's go get something to eat first, we're starving......"
With that, Ron dragged Harry towards the long table full of food.
"Harry, I thought you would be a little more sensitive to emotions with our Ginny...... Don't you see that? Neville: He loves Hannah! ”
"Oh, this is the first time I've heard of this, how do you know?" Harry was surprised, "And, what does it have to do with his frozen legs?" ”
Ron looked at him helplessly, not wanting to say anything more.
"Anyway, don't bother them......"
"Who bother?" Hermione's voice suddenly came out of nowhere, "Huh? Ron, are you in a better mood than you were in the morning? ”
As she spoke, she passed by the two of them, went to the long table, poured some hot cocoa, and drank it.
The food here is prepared by the house-elves in the kitchen, and whenever someone takes something, the elves immediately replenish it. As long as the stockpile is not used up, these meals are available without limits.
After warming her slightly cold body, she lifted the refilled hot cocoa jug again and poured herself another glass.
When Ron heard her ask, he followed, grabbed his plate and began to fill it with meatloaf and vegetable salad.
"As long as that incident is not completely over, my mood is not much better." He said a little weakly, "What's more, there is that Christmas present......"
"Speaking of which, what did that boy give you?" Hermione asked curiously.
But Ron just gulped down the shredded purple cabbage, and the slightly bitter taste spread to the base of his tongue, and even the sweet salad dressing couldn't wash it away.
That's when ......
"Boom—"
Suddenly, there was a loud bang from the castle tower, and at the same time, many bits and pieces flew out of a window hole.
"Bang! Whoa—"
One of them landed on the long table on point, smashing a lot of food and utensils, and splashing many of the wizards standing at the table.
Hermione hurriedly looked at it, and it turned out to be a curved copper pipe.
"What's going on?"
The sky around the table is enchanted so that the snowflakes that are still floating in the air do not fall on the food. But that barrier is not a problem to block the snow, and it is obviously a little reluctant to block the copper pipe that falls from the sky.
"Where did it fall from?"
She craned her neck and looked at her suspiciously, thinking of the loud explosion just now, and she was really a little worried about whether something was wrong.
However, just as she was about to go to the castle to take a look, a head suddenly popped out of a window.
"It was just a minor accident, and Professor Bubaji asked me to say sorry on her behalf - oh, no one was hurt by it, right?"
Hermione was stunned to find that the head poking out of the window hole was actually Luna—although it was a little far away, the long pale blonde silky hair and the ethereal voice meant that she was right!
"Professor Bubagi?" She couldn't help but wonder, "Are you still preparing for the event...... Speaking of which, it seems that the Christmas event in Muggle Studies is not open yet......"
In fact, the explosion just now really shocked many people. But fortunately, everyone's luck seems to be good, and the falling objects do not seem to hurt anyone.
Not long after, some of the well-fed little wizards put down their dishes and left the place one after another, looking for the items they hadn't played in the morning and then went to have fun.
Only a few, like Hermione, remained uninvolved. Even before the Christmas event, she seemed to be happy, but it still did not shake her daily study habits.
It was only during a little break that she went around and everything seemed organized.
It wasn't until late afternoon that she finally put down the books in her hand and announced that today's study was over.
It's just that when she subconsciously walked around the campus, she found one thing - it seems that she can't find where Maca is?
……
"Click."
Another curved stone slab was arranged in its rightful place, and the grooves carved into it were aligned with the other stone slabs around it, so that not even a single gap appeared.
Maca controls the arrangement of the stone slabs in order while observing the whole to avoid misplacing them.
He was now on top of the Blackstone Fort in Azkaban, splicing together stone slabs that he had recently spent a lot of time retouching and carving. As the stone slabs carved with lines and runes were carefully arranged, a formation of astonishing scale and complexity was about to be completed on this platform.
And not far away, on the edge of the high platform, Old Eun sat in his wheelchair, watching without saying a word at Maca's stone slab stitching work.
He had provided the vast amount of data that underpinned the array, and he had spent many years trying to get the numbers that seemed simple.
It is foreseeable that in the near future, the results of the efforts of the two of them will be revealed.
"Even in ancient times, there were few wizards who could induce the Disaster Star to descend...... To be honest, I can't wait......"
Suddenly, Old Eun whispered, but he didn't know if it was a meteorite or something else he couldn't wait for......
