Chapter Twenty-Three: The Guardian Comes
On November 6, everyone was in the common room and saw a large poster. Tell everyone that on November 7th, you will be visiting Hogwarts, there will be no evening classes, and the last class before dinner will be canceled, so everyone can tidy up themselves.
As for what kind of distinguished guest, no one knows. Even the people in Slytherin didn't know it, but most of the children of wizarding families received a set of gowns and robes from home, and told them to behave according to the most perfect etiquette.
Surprisingly, Thor also received a full set of new clothes. Everything from wizard robes to dress robes.
Then, the 6th of November is used to decorate the auditorium and clean the castle. The portraits, the armor, were scrubbed over and over again, until the faces of the figures in the paintings were pink and white, and the armor was shiny.
In the auditorium, some candles were added, and on the long tables of the four colleges, there was a ribbon representing the emblem of the college, and the color was also the representative color of the college.
The house-elves also made a Halloween special for Thor, and when Thor nodded, they let out a cheer.
The ghosts practiced etiquette and rehearsed the show under the leadership of Lord Barrow and the nearly headless Nick, and the Headless Riders Club and the Skull Dance Company came from afar, much to Professor Dumbledore's surprise.
Peeves was also warned that if he wanted to survive and continue to play all his shenanigans at Hogwarts, then, on November 7th, be honest. If you annoy your guests, you will lose your life.
And the professors in the classroom, no one said what kind of distinguished guests, just reminded those students who did not have good academic performance not to embarrass Hogwarts.
The trio of Draco and Gryffindor was trained by their professors along with some of the high-achieving seventh graders.
In the seventh grade, from alchemy to spells, everyone has to do a set of test papers, and then, according to the results of the test papers, decide who will perform what in front of the distinguished guests at that time.
There is only one special training for Draco and the trio, spells, defensive spells, and offensive spells, all of which have to be learned. And it is necessary to be able to dodge Professor Dumbledore's attack to be qualified.
Professor Snape's potions were enough.
In the whole school, there is not a single person who is idle.
Everyone tossed until midnight, and today the curfew has been lifted. However, they were all tired, and everyone had a good night's sleep in their own cots.
The atmosphere at breakfast on November 7 was very dreary, and Professor Dumbledore changed his old friendliness, reminding them that "if anyone messes with the castle today, destroys the layout of the castle, and makes a fool of himself in front of the distinguished guests, then he will be locked up until the end of the school year." ”
Rao is that the Weasley twins are honest, and they start to look at books.
The owls sent the last orders of each family, as well as some of the family's collection of books or some kind of dark magic item, and they were all carefully packaged. It looks like a gift for your guests. The rest is not mentioned in the letter.
And in this day's class, the professors didn't give them any good looks: "Today is even more important than the final exam." Your future is at stake. ”
At 6:50 p.m., all the teachers and students of the school put on ceremonial robes, pinned the family badge and the school emblem and the school emblem on the robes, and stood in the auditorium under the command of the president of the male and female student unions to welcome the arrival of distinguished guests.
Faculty members stood on either side of the door, waiting to open the door for the guests, ghosts floated in rows, and the Skull Dance Troupe played tunes in the orchestra pit that even the pure-blood nobles hadn't heard.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the bell struck seven times, and a carriage pulled by seven Thestrals landed in front of the Hogwarts school. No one in the auditorium dared to discuss why this carriage could still come here without horses. Those who can see it naturally know what is pulling the cart.
From the carriage, seven men in black robes came down, the leader of whom had shoulder-length silver hair, his eyes were gray-white, his complexion was pale, and he looked very thin, the kind of skinny skinny. On the wrist of his left hand, a black-covered book with a chain was fastened to his waist, and in his right hand he held a scepter decorated with a bone dragon ornament, and at the top of the scepter, there was a gray gem.
These seven people, all wearing the same badge as Thor, indicate that they are members of the Lunaris School.
"Welcome to Hogwarts." Professor Dumbledore saluted with the staff. The ghosts even knelt down, and the identity of the comer was about to be revealed.
"The Chief of the Lunaris School and the contemporary leader of the Undead Cyril. On a snowy night, the Council of Elders came to visit as promised. You may arise. The leader reported himself to the house, and when he had said this, they got up.
Well, Saul looked at this self-proclaimed Cyril. The people of the snowy night straightened their bodies a little. This person he had seen in his dreams had finally been seen in reality.
The next thing, that's easy, it's time for a feast. Dumbledore walked half a step behind Cyril until Cyril sat down at the Ravenclaw table with the Lunaris Sect before he clapped his hands, "There is no banquet to welcome our guests." ”
Opposite Cyril, is Thor, this is something that has been arranged a long time ago "Happy birthday, this birthday present, I don't know if you like it or not." ”
Thor looked at Cyril's cake on the table and froze. It was an ice cream cake, and the psychic whisper kept flashing on the cake, "May Thor, the Child of Shadows. Happy Eleventh Birthday to Sredt". After taking a bite, my whole body was refreshed.
"Thank you. This cake is delicious, and compared to the cake, it is a special gift for you to visit Hogwarts, and I thought I would not see you until the end of the school year. Thor laughed as he spoke.
"I'm expecting Christmas. However, you've already used your soul magic, and I had to plan ahead. You killed a troll, a magical creature. It's a big deal, and I have to come here to ask about the situation and confirm something. Cyril reached out and ruffled Thor's hair.
Saul muttered, "It doesn't grow long when you touch your head." ”
"Eat your cake well, I'll talk to your classmates." Cyril said, letting go of Thor's head and turning to the fifth-grader next to him who was eating fast and had been watching him all the time.
The content of the chat, said to be chatting, is more like an exam. The fifth-grader was doing well and was able to answer Cyril's question.
After hearing that he had taken the Ancient Script, Cyril asked him some questions about the Ancient Script, mixed with some questions about alchemy.
"You have to have your own ideas so that you can go long on the path of magic." Cyril finally gave the student a piece of advice.
"Thank you. You're not what the book says. The book says......"
"The book says that the undead are mostly irrational because they have lost their flesh and will capture humans to make up for their missing flesh." Cyril said this with a calm face.
"Yes. But ......"
"Like ghosts, we voluntarily gave up our flesh and blood, leaving only our souls and bones to walk in the world. However, it allows us to learn more about soul magic. Necromancy is learned by beings who aspire to become undead, and this is the curse of necromancy. Cyril pondered the words and explained them in words he could understand.
"Thank you. I see, I think it's good to be human. The student was also very sincere.
