051. From Halloween Eve

October 31, the eve of Halloween.

Before the Halloween Night Dinner begins, Scott and his roommates arrive in the auditorium.

By this time, the Great Hall of Hogwarts had been completely decorated.

The candles floating above the auditorium turned black, and swarms of bats fluttered among the candles.

The pumpkins the size of a horse-drawn cart are carved into jack-o-lanterns with strange expressions.

They were either placed around the auditorium or suspended in mid-air, glowing with a warm orange glow.

The entire interior of the auditorium is very different from usual, and it is filled with a bizarre atmosphere.

"Wow."

Seeing all this, Eddie unconsciously cheered.

The students were excited, but Scott was a little unable to get into the festive spirit.

The thought of a deadly basilisk roaming the corridors of the castle made him feel awkward.

At this point, they passed through the doorway on the side of the auditorium and walked under a giant jack-o-lantern.

The jack-o'-lantern's carved mouth immediately spewed out a lot of colorful candy.

Scott picked one up.

It is the cream peanut candy of Duke Bee's candy store.

He put his hand in his pocket and walked with his roommate to the Ravenclaw table and sat down, hearing the first-year freshmen marveling at the golden plates on the table.

"Oh, even the plates on the table are different today!"

A group of junior students coax candy near jack-o'-lanterns.

Many of the little wizards ate the bee candy and floated up slowly, with a lot of blue bubbles in the air that they had blown out with the Super Bubble Gum.

Eddie was excitedly shouting to the crowd, "Did you know that Headmaster Dumbledore has brought in a skeleton dance troupe today to cheer up our Halloween Night Feast!" ”

The surrounding students were all excited.

"Skull Dance Troupe? I've wanted to see it for a long time! Milton is looking forward to it.

Scott, on the other hand, felt that there was probably no beauty in the skeleton dancing other than curiosity.

He looked around the auditorium and saw that Roger had run to the Hufflepuff table to sit with his new girlfriend and whisper.

Miss Mill was still staring at them with red eyes, much to the embarrassment of many of the students at the Hufflepuff bench.

As the professors walked into the auditorium and took their seats, the dinner officially began.

Dumbledore stood in front and said a few simple words of greeting, and with a wave of his hand, all the long tables were filled with sumptuous food.

Everyone immediately began to eat and drink.

Scott glanced at Gryffindor's long table again.

Neither the Savior nor his two friends were present, while Ginny, another key figure, was still sitting at the table.

It's just that she doesn't look very good, as if she is sick.

At this time, Fred and George smiled and raised their glasses at him, and Scott smiled and quietly withdrew his gaze.

Soon, the long-awaited Skull Dance Troupe took the stage.

It's really curious.

Scott looked at the skeletons dancing to the eerie music and felt that he really couldn't appreciate it.

Milton was disappointed.

"It's not art!" He told Scott that it was like being deceived, "Their music and dance are very average, only the actors are more rare!" ”

"At least it's in keeping with the Halloween vibe." Scott didn't care.

The Skull Dance Troupe performed several dances, and Scott ate delicious food, usually keeping an eye out for Gryffindor's movements.

Just before the last dance was over, Ginny was seen leaving in a hurry.

Scott retracted his gaze again, then stopped looking.

After the dinner, the students crowded out of the auditorium from all directions.

Scott and the others were standing under the stairs leading to the second floor, and were about to go from the corridor on the first floor to the Ravenclaw Tower, when the noise above suddenly became quiet.

"Something happened on the third floor!" Scott heard a student from above say loudly.

Eddie's eyes lit up suddenly.

"What's going on!"

He spun around quickly, squeezing into the crowd of people on the stairs with a nimble movement that didn't match his chubby size, and made his way to the upper floor.

Scott and Milton glanced at each other and followed the curious students up to the second floor.

At this time, they heard a boy shouting: "Enemies of the heirs, be on guard!" Next up is you, Mudblood! ”

Scott could hear it, it was Malfoy's voice.

Immediately afterward, Filch's heart-rending screams were heard from above.

"My cat! My cat! What happened to Lady Loris? His scream was filled with fear.

At this point, the professors had apparently noticed the commotion as well, and Dumbledore's leadership hurried over.

The students all consciously made a way for the professors to go up the stairs first.

Later, Scott finally climbed to the third floor, and he saw Filch staring at Potter with puffed eyes and hatred by the crowd wall.

He yelled at Potter viciously, "You! You killed my cat! You killed it! I'm going to kill you! I'm going to ......"

"Filch!"

Dumbledore, who was walking ahead, interrupted him.

He quickly walked over there and removed a stiff cat from the lampstand on the wall.

Milton, who was standing next to Scott, exclaimed, "That's Mrs. Loris?" ”

"Looks like so." Scott said calmly, "Look at the wall. ”

Milton also saw the two lines on the wall.

[The Chamber of Secrets is opened.] Those who are enemies of the heirs, be wary. ]

"Oh!" He covered his mouth and his eyes widened.

"Come with me, Filch." Dumbledore said to Filch.

He looked back at the Savior and his friends, "And you, Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, and Miss Granger. ”

Lockhart stepped forward and offered unusually positively, "My office is closest to here, Headmaster!" It's upstairs...... You can ......"

"Thank you, Gildero." Dumbledore thanked him.

Then, with the dead cat in his arms, Dumbledore was led by Lockhart to his office.

The Potter trio and Filch walked behind them, followed by the other professors.

When the group disappeared, the students in the hallway immediately began to discuss it.

"Did you see that?"

Eddie didn't know where to come from, and said to Scott and Milton with excitement on his face.

"Potter and his friends, the three of them are so daring! They killed Filch's cat and wrote that kind of tricky message on the wall! He danced with his hands, "It's a pity that they were caught by Filch!" ”

Milton looked at him suspiciously, "Is this true?" Eddie. I looked at Potter as if they didn't know. ”

"You don't understand that, Milton." Eddie triumphantly said, "They're just trying to get away with this disguise!" “

He shook his head with emotion, with a hint of pity, "But how is this possible, no one can lie in front of Dumbledore." ”

The surrounding students all looked approving when they heard Eddie's argument.

And, Filch's pesky cat is finally getting revenge, and most of the students gloat about it.
