Chapter 43: Halloween
Early the next morning, when Benjamin opened his eyes, he habitually rolled over and opened the window. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When he saw the light rain as always, Benjamin couldn't help but sigh.
Sure enough, it was still a rainy day.
Benjamin doesn't remember much about how long this weather has lasted.
But there is no doubt that the weather is very uncomfortable for the living.
When Benjamin passed by Gryffindor's long table in the morning, he was simply caught by Frank. Next to Frank is Neville, who is giggling, and Ginny, who doesn't dare to look Benjamin in the eye.
Both of them looked so bad and sick that Benjamin even smelled a smell of chicken feathers.
As for Frank's chatter, the already unpleasant atmosphere is even worse and annoying.
"Oh, Frank, we all need to be quiet early in the morning. Look at Neville, he's fainting from you. ”
After Benjamin finished speaking, Gryffindor burst into laughter, and Frank looked at Benjamin in confusion, and Benjamin returned to the front of Slytherin without looking back.
"You seem to like Gryffindor. Draco sliced the bread slowly, and it wasn't Pansy sitting next to him, but his dance partner for the evening, Astoria.
"It's probably not big news anymore, Draco. That's what you've been saying in my ear since last year. Benjamin retorted without showing weakness, but his callousness did not last long.
Because Daphne had already twisted her waist and appeared with Pansy grinning.
Benjamin doesn't quite understand when Pansy and Daphne's relationship has become so good.
"Hey, Benjamin, have you figured out what you're going to wear today?
Daphne said with a smile, and sat down on Benjamin's right hand. (To Benjamin's left is a serious Draco.) )
Melancholy vampire?Benjamin recalls a dream of his own, and the vampire he met there seemed to have nothing to do with the word melancholy.
On the contrary, the vampires there seem so carefree and fulfilling.
"By the way, Daphne," Benjamin quickly recovered from his thoughts, and looked at Daphne earnestly, "I have one more thing to tell you. ”
Daphne's face suddenly turned red, and for some reason, Benjamin felt that the change in her face was too exaggerated, and he couldn't stand it a little.
"What's the matter, Benjamin, if you hadn't told me, you'd want to change your dance partner again. ”
Benjamin immediately shook his head, of course he knew that it would be a great shame for the ladies to change their dance partners at this point in time.
"Of course not, Daphne, the perfect dance partner for you, I only know Pansy. (Pansy immediately laughs, then deliberately says, "Oh, Benjamin, you didn't say it sooner!", Benjamin pauses, "It's just that I might be a little later tonight.") ”
Daphne sighed, first glancing at Astoria next to Draco, before asking curiously, "Of course it's fine." But I may ask, where are you going first?"
At this time, both Draco and Pansy looked at Benjamin, apparently curious as well.
Benjamin spread his hands helplessly before he said, "Okay, okay, since you're all so interested. ”
Then Benjamin told them about the day he had met Nicol, who was almost dead.
Sure enough, the girls immediately showed an awkward smile. Daphne held her chest even more exaggeratedly, "Oh, Benjamin, that sounds like a really good adventure! Of course, you should know that the clothes I prepared for the night were particularly gorgeous and easy to stain." So, I can only wait for you upstairs and hope you can have a nice night. ”
Astoria laughed secretly.
However, Draco suddenly said, "Sounds interesting, I'll go with you!"
Astoria's laughter came to an abrupt end.
Pansy was the only one laughing.
Benjamin suspected that Draco wasn't interested in the Ghosts' Halloween party, but because he could see Harry Potter there.
So, the whole itinerary was decided at breakfast time at Hogwarts.
That night, at seven o'clock, Benjamin and Draco met in the Slytherin common room.
Both men put on masks in order to return to the Hogwarts ball in the shortest possible time.
Of course, Benjamin just very perfunctorily covered a leaf over his face. Draco, on the other hand, really managed to dress up like a vampire.
"Melancholy Mr. Vampire?Draco, I didn't expect you to be so fond of cross-dressing?" said Benjamin, sneering as he went downstairs together.
Draco snorted angrily, but instead of confronting him immediately, he said, "That way we won't be recognized by Potter when we go." I don't want to be caught at such a stupid party!"
Benjamin shook his head, he was used to Draco's insincerity, basically you just had to say it the other way around.
For example, when he says he doesn't like it, he just likes it.
"Alright, alright, but you offered to come with me at first. ”
Soon, the two of them had arrived at the empty classroom that Nicol had spoken of, and in front of them stood the three of Harry.
Benjamin didn't have the idea of coming up to say hello.
In front of them was an aisle leading to the party, which was lit with candles by this time, but the effect was not pleasant at all: they were small, black, thin candles that shimmered blue when they burned, and even when they shone on the faces of the three of Harry, they looked eerie. Benjamin and Draco walked behind, and with each step they took, the temperature dropped. Harry shuddered and tightened his clothes around himself. When Draco saw this, he couldn't help but laugh.
Benjamin shook his head helplessly. At this moment, he heard a sound, as if a thousand fingernails were scraping against a huge blackboard.
The sound of this voice is not pleasant, but rather an urge to go crazy.
"What a disgusting sound!" Draco couldn't help but say.
