165. Gifts
"McGoss, look ahead." Ron suddenly tugged at McGoss's robe and whispered.
McGoth and Hermione subconsciously looked up, it turned out to be Peeves, he was talking loudly to a strange ghost, and the ghost's somewhat distorted expression was obviously not saying anything good.
"He's really here, do you think Nick will be angry." Harry asked in a whisper.
"Probably not, after all, there are so many guests." Hermione's tone was uncertain.
"Then what if he chases us away." Ron looked around, a little nervous.
McGoth wanted to laugh when he looked at them nervously, Nick is not a fool, even if Peeves made some farce on his head, Nick would not really trouble him, at most the relationship was cold after that.
They turned around and didn't see Peeves, and wanted to stay away from him, but the four of them were like fires in the darkness here, and they couldn't keep a low profile.
Peeves uttered one last sarcastic word to the ghost in front of him and floated in front of them.
"Magos." Peeves shouted at a shrill voice. "Thank you so much for letting me come to Nick's party."
As soon as McGoth tried to deny it, Peeves flew away.
"He did it on purpose." Hermione huffed and looked in the direction Peeves had drifted away, "He shouted so loudly. Now all the ghosts will think that you brought him over. ”
"What should I do now, looking at his appearance, he is not ready to spend this party in peace. And have you noticed that several ghosts are looking at us unfriendly? ”
How could Magos not be able to see it, especially the strange ghost who had just spoken to Peeves, and looking at his angry expression, he must have been blaming him for bringing Peeves over.
The commotion here quickly attracted Nick's attention, he had actually seen Peeves a long time ago, but what could he do, he couldn't be driven away, and with Peeves' temperament, if he really drove him away, he probably wouldn't be able to continue this party.
"Is something wrong?" Nick floated over and asked with a smile.
"Nick, Peeves came on his own, and has nothing to do with McGoss." Hermione hurriedly cleared up McGoss from Peeves.
"Of course, I know, in fact, after McGoth said it that day, I knew that Peeves would definitely come, as long as he didn't get into trouble." Nick graciously told them not to bother about Peeves, and he would explain it to the guests who misunderstood.
"There were quite a few guests here today," said Nick, who was almost headless, proudly, "I remember attending a ghost party last time that wasn't half as large as me." Oh, it's almost time for me to speak, and I'd better go and give the band a heads-up. ”
"It's okay now." Ron breathed a sigh of relief, he was worried that Nick had believed Peeves. At this time, Harry suddenly shook, "Harry, what's wrong with you?" ”
"No, it's okay, I just suddenly got dizzy." Harry waved his hand.
Magos didn't care when he saw that he didn't touch the scar on his forehead, he just remembered that the magic change Walkman specially prepared had not been given to Nick, and he was going to go over and give it to him, and leave by the way.
Nick was floating in mid-air at this time, when suddenly a hunting horn sounded, and Nick, who was still speaking, stopped, and he looked at the wall in the distance with a painful face, while the expressions of the guests were diametrically opposed to him, and they were looking in the direction of the sound with excited faces.
Twelve ghost horses suddenly burst out of the wall in the distance, each with a headless rider on it. The ghosts, all but Nick, were greeted with a round of applause. The twelve ghost horses galloped to the center of the dance arena, oblivious to Nick's ugly expression, and then staggered to their feet, first standing upright on their hind legs, and then kicking their hind hooves. Immediately at the foreground was a large ghost, with a bearded head tucked under his arm and blowing a trumpet. He jumped off his horse, held his head high in the air, and looked at Nick, who was still floating above
"Nick!" He yelled, "How are you? Is your head still hanging there?"
After saying that, there was a burst of laughter.
"Welcome, Patrick." Nick looked down at the head being held up, and said in a stiff tone.
"What's that?" Hermione watched in amazement at a scene she had never seen before.
"I guess it's the Headless Hunters Nick was talking about."
"Poor Nick, the limelight has been completely stolen, and you see all the other ghosts watching a game of overhead hockey played by Mr. Patrick and the members of the Headless Hunters, and no one is listening to him."
"Let's go. We went and gave it to him and left. ”
Struggled through the encirclement of the ghosts, who were now shivering with cold as they accidentally passed through the bodies of several ghosts.
"Nick, this is our gift for you." Magos took out the Magic Walkman and placed it in front of him.
"Oh, thank you, thank you so much, my friends." Nick couldn't have been more moved by the thought of McGoss than they could have imagined about him now.
McGoth smiled and asked him to take the Magic Walkman out of the box.
"What is this?" Nick looked at the iron cube in his hand and was a little confused.
McGoth told Nick what the keys were for, and he was curious if it would work on the ghost, so he pressed the start button. The first music is rock 'n' roll, which has been popular lately, and after a while, Nick doesn't feel anything and then presses the fast-forward button.
At first, Nick was indifferent to the action-packed music, but as McGoth pressed the fast-forward button, Nick's formulaic smile changed, and he looked at the iron bump in his hand in surprise. You must know that since he became a ghost, he can no longer enjoy music as he did when he was alive, although they can still hear sounds, but in fact, they have lost the ability to appreciate them, and no matter how good music is, it is just a sound to them. As for the so-called ghost songs, they just want to feel the senses of sound anew. It's like the highly rotten food they put on the table, it's not that they can't put the normal food, and they want the rotten food to taste a little stronger.
"Oh my God." Nick hugged the iron lump tightly, he hadn't cried since he died, and he suddenly had a feeling of tears in his eyes, how many years, he actually felt the charm of music again.
The voice of the Demon Walkman was not small, and several ghosts around Nick obviously felt the music as well, and turned around one by one to look at Nick in confusion, they still couldn't believe it.
"This, this, this ......" A female ghost looked at the iron bump that Nick was holding and was speechless with excitement, she loved music very much when she was alive, but unfortunately she became a ghost after death and could no longer find the feeling she once had. I didn't expect to be able to regain the feeling I once felt now.
Nick looked at the excited expressions of the ghosts around him, and suddenly floated into the air again, pressing the amplification button that McGoth had just told him.
Time seemed to stop at this moment, and the ghosts of the Headless Hunters didn't even care about their heads, allowing them to fall to the ground.
