Chapter 96: The Female Ghost and the Singer

With a "poof", a ball of mud went around the student in the way at a tricky angle and hit the marble slab in front of Filch.

Filch, the administrator, was staring at the mud in front of him, his face suddenly becoming ugly, and there was an air of idlers not approaching him.

Albert and Lee Jordan also noticed the change in the hallway, stopped, and looked with the other students towards the source of the low pressure.

I saw Filch stiffly turn his head to look in the direction where the mud ball was flying, only to find another thumb-sized mud ball flying towards him.

Filch hurriedly dodged sideways, his eyes lingering for a moment on where he had just stood, and suddenly pushed away the crowd in the hallway and chased in the direction where the mudball was flying.

The momentum of not catching the culprit and vowing not to give up made the surrounding students cast surprised glances at Filch's back, and even several students were ready to follow behind to watch the excitement.

Other students speculated about who threw the ball at Filch.

In the opposite direction of Filch's pursuit of the prisoner, the twins appear around the corner waving to Albert and the two, with happy smiles on their faces.

"How. Fred and George had just emerged from a nearby secret passage, and Albert raised his index finger in a quiet motion.

That's right, it was the Weasley brothers who had just thrown the mud ball at Filch, who borrowed the winged slingshot that Albert found in the Room of Requirement, and used the mudball from the mud ball that they had just gotten from their herb class, mixed with the maniac feces.

Of course, the twins weren't aiming at Filch, but at the marble slab beneath his feet, however, whoever looked at it thought the mud ball was thrown towards Filch.

Now, a frustrated Filch chases after him, but he can't find anything, and he doesn't know if anyone will be inexplicably miserable.

After returning to the lounge, they immediately went to take a hot shower, and when they changed their clothes and came down, they heard others talk about Filch, and the caretaker was angrily looking for the culprit.

"Wonderful, wonderful!" said Fred's smile widened, as if there was nothing more pleasing to him than to watch Filch deflated.

"Eat quietly. Albert glanced at them, looked up at Filch in the corner of the hall, and nodded in warning.

Albert didn't eat much for lunch, and there would be a big Halloween party in the evening.

However, Filch's affair still made the whole afternoon of several people spend happily.

Professor Broad in Defense Against the Dark Arts also knew that people didn't pay much attention to the lectures, so he spent the whole afternoon telling interesting stories.

For example, in the mid-fifteenth century, a certain Earl of Dragontau, who was about to engage in a duel with a suspected witch's child, was about to stab the boy to death with a single shot on his horse, only to crash his head into the iron armor barrier released by a witch, breaking his whole body, severely injuring his head, and finally becoming a mentally handicapped count.

The story immediately piqued interest in the Iron Armor Charm, but the professor said that the spell would not be available until the senior year, much to the disappointment of most people.

"Is it difficult? Isn't Albert capable of this spell?" Lee Jordan muttered suspiciously, his voice was not loud, but many people heard it, and it attracted a bunch of suspicious glances from Albert.

Albert just smiled, didn't admit it, didn't deny it, anyway, guess for yourselves!

The Halloween feast in the evening quickly dispelled everyone's residual thoughts, and as they walked into the hall, they were immediately attracted by the Halloween decorations in the auditorium.

The twelve huge pumpkins in the vegetable garden behind Hagrid's hut were carved into large lanterns, which could seat even two or three students.

A swarm of bats flew around the enchanted ceiling, occasionally hovering above the table, causing the candle flames in the belly of the little pumpkin to flicker.

Before the banquet began, Dumbledore first invited the famous witch singer Cetina Warbeck to give everyone a song "Children, hit back the Bludger, throw the Quaffle".

Albert, who sat at the table, listened with a bewildered expression, he had little appreciation for the songs of this era, and although he felt that the witch singer's voice had a unique contagion, he could not be on the same channel as everyone else anyway.

When everyone was getting high, I was alone in my seat and felt embarrassed.

Shanna, who was on the other side of the table, was in a similar situation to him, and she was equally confused.

Thankfully, the song didn't last long, and to the applause of the crowd, the witch singer and his assistants withdrew for the time being.

"Why don't you react, don't you like Cetina Warbeck's tunes?"

"Very infectious music. Albert carefully organized his limited vocabulary, in fact, he wanted to say if you had just gone crazy, but after thinking twice, he swallowed the sentence back into his stomach, so as not to be overwhelmed by an unknown object called a fan.

"yes, Shanna. He looked at the witch opposite.

"Fantastic music. Shanna, who was also from the Muggle world, couldn't appreciate this style of music, and only smiled reluctantly at Albert's inquiry.

"You don't seem to like Cetina Warbeck's tunes. Angelina's eyes flashed with a sly slight.

"Well, there's no such thing, I'm just ...... I don't listen to music very often. After swallowing the cut beef, Albert replied vaguely, "By the way, I thought you were also intoxicated by this beautiful music, but I didn't expect ......."

"Ahem!" Angelina coughed dryly and hurriedly buried her head in eating, while Arya next to her shook her head imperceptibly.

"My whole family is a Waalbeek fan, and the family likes to play her songs at festivals. Fred said indistinctly as he shoved the chicken leg into his mouth.

"Yes. George chimed in, "I've heard that there is a female ghost in Cetina Warbeck's team, and they often perform together, so I wonder if I can meet the female ghost here." ”

"Female ghosts?"

The topic quickly aroused everyone's interest.

"Are you sure it's a female ghost?" Albert asked, raising an eyebrow, "A female ghost is a dark creature, and it is said that hearing her cry is deadly." ”

"Cetina Warbeck is the hottest singer in all of England and is said to have graduated from Hogwarts. Li Jordan said: "However, the rumors of female ghosts are true, and my mother likes the song that she sings with female ghosts." ”

"How do you know. Shanna asked curiously, "And her female ghost companion didn't show up here today?"

"Headmaster Dumbledore would definitely not allow female ghosts to appear at Hogwarts, that would scare a lot of timid students. Albert recalls the introduction of the female ghost in "The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Defense", "The female ghost has long black hair that drags to the floor, a skeleton-like face, and green eyes glowing. ”

"Is that something?"

Suddenly, I don't know who asked.

"What a look. ”

"...... in the stands"

Albert looked sideways at the stage, his expression froze, and before he could put the fried potatoes in his mouth, he slipped from his hand, clanged, and fell on the plate along with the fork.

That's right, the thing on the stage is really similar to what Albert just described.

She had black floor-sweeping hair, a face like a skeleton, and her eyes glowing green, yes, a female ghost.

She opened her mouth wide, and suddenly, strange screams echoed through the auditorium.

At the moment when the scream sounded, the musical accompaniment also sounded, and the two voices were skillfully blended, and Setina Warbeck, a witch singer of some age, was holding a long golden microphone and began to sing selflessly.

In Albert's words, this one is simply singing with his life. However, the female ghost's screams are not as sharp and piercing as the legend says, but successfully integrate into the soundtrack and become part of the whole song.

However, it was the dancer who danced with the female ghost that was most admirable, and Albert was very suspicious of how the other party had overcome the psychological pressure caused by the female ghost.

After the song ended, even Albert couldn't help but applaud with everyone, not because he understood the song, but because he admired the group of guys on the stage, who were able to use the accompaniment to cover the screams of the female ghost and create such a wonderful song.

Cetina Warbeck's third song opens at the end of the Halloween Banquet. After everyone learned that the name of the song was added to "You stole my pot, but you couldn't get my heart", it attracted a very enthusiastic response, and the applause almost lifted the roof.

"Is this song famous?" Albert asked, confused.

"It's famous. ”

Mom always wanted to go to her live concerts, but tickets were often sold out at the beginning, (tickets for her concerts often skyrocketed on the black market), and it is said that when Cetina Warbeck first released "You Stole My Pot, But You Can't Get My Heart", fans flocked to the concert in desperation, causing the three broomsticks to collide. Fred explained.

"Oh. Albert just sighed lightly, because he himself does not chase stars, so he sees this very lightly. Of course, Albert was curious about what kind of charm this song had, and quickly pricked up his ears to listen carefully:

You think you're a good wizard and conquered me with a spell

But guess what, Mr. Wizard, you don't really know me

You think you're smart, but you're actually a liar

......

You stole my pot

and toads in the pond

Put the crystal bottle of memory

......

You stole my pot, but you can't get my heart!

(Her heart!)

After the singing, Albert was still confused.

To be honest, the song is really not very good, or this is the style of the wizarding world, and I can't appreciate it after all. And, since there is no female ghost soundtrack, this song is not even as good as the previous one. At that moment, Albert felt that he could no longer face up to the aesthetics of the wizarding world.

Seeing that several people around him were clapping vigorously, Albert also pretended to applaud, and there were bursts of shouts of another song in his ears, however, this brief chaos was quickly quelled by Dumbledore.

Cetina Warbeck leaves, leaving Hogwarts with her team and the ghost.

The Halloween party ended with a sigh of regret. Albert followed the surging crowd back to Gryffindor's common room.

Along the way, he heard a lot of people talking about female ghosts.

"How many people are going to have nightmares today?" asked Mark with a smile as he put his arm around Albert's shoulder.

"I don't know. Still, I think it's a wonderful, bold idea, isn't it?" Albert didn't care about Mark's joke, and waved at Mario and the others, "I think they can invite Peeves to join them when they form a circus." ”

"What a brilliant idea. Mark winked and smiled, "By the way, you haven't been training in a long time." ”

"Isn't there something busy?" Albert was quietly surprised by the way Mark shifted the subject, "homework is never done, and besides, I need to participate in the Transfiguration Club every week. ”

"Cha Ideal asked you to pick up his Seeker position. Mark said directly: "To be honest, there really isn't anyone in Gryffindor who can take over this position." ”

"Ahem, maybe next year, or the year after that, there will be more powerful characters. Albert noticed Mark's "Do you believe it yourself" expression, and said helplessly: "Well, if there really is no suitable ...... We'll talk about that then. ”

"You're a good fit to be a Seeker. Charlie came out of nowhere and smiled and patted Albert on the shoulder.

Everyone will be optimistic about Albert, in fact, during a certain Quidditch friendly match, Albert actually caught the Golden Snitch in front of Charlie, which made Charlie think that Albert was very suitable to be his successor.

After all, in a Quidditch match, the Seeker is important and almost determines the outcome of a match.

"You know, I play Quidditch purely for fun. Albert, who was caught between the two, was full of helplessness.

"Quidditch doesn't stop you from being a good wizard, Professor McGonagall was also a good Seeker when she was young, and lo and behold, she is better than anyone else in Transfiguration, you are her protégé, how can you not play Quidditch?"

Yes, Albert was Professor McGonagall's protégé, at least some thought so.

Although Albert was very happy to hear Charlie say that, he actually understood why Charlie and others cared so much about it.

No way, Gryffindor hasn't won a Quidditch title in years.

Albert actually didn't care too much about this, because after Charlie graduated, there was Harry Potter, the top tank, and then the Seeker's seat would naturally be on top of Potter.

That's right, call him: Harry Savior Potter.

Although in Albert's eyes, he is a top pot and a backpot.

"Ahh

Merlin's beard, is this the after-effect of the legendary concert?

In fact, it's no wonder that the two are excited, it is really rare to be able to hear Cetina Warbeck's concert live.

"By the way, shall we go on a night tour?" suggested George.

"Another day, throw the pillow over. Albert raised his hand to take the pillow that Fred had thrown over, covered another yawn, and lay back under the covers, easily sleepy when he was full.
