The Great Hall of Hogwarts is filled with the unique atmosphere of Halloween – swarms of bats flutter across the walls and ceiling; There were also low, dark clouds that had been transformed by the Weather Charm, swirling and dancing above the table, as if rain and thunder were brewing in them.

The auditorium was surrounded by huge pumpkins, the largest of which could be as tall as half a story. There was a bright candle in the belly of the hollowed pumpkin, and the flame of the candle flickered as the dark clouds fluttered above the table.

On the stage of the auditorium is a band of skeletons, each wearing the same style of wide-brimmed Mexican straw hats. The musicians played guitars and bivillas, trumpets and flutes, and the two lead singers sang beautiful ballads.

"Remember me, though you have to say goodbye...... （Remember me， though I have to say goodbye…… ）”

A melodic and flexible ballad brought joyful or sad emotions, and the little wizards next to them were fascinated by it, and they all felt unusually light.

But Xiwen heard a deep sadness. It's not just because of the exhaustion of mental overuse, but also because this song reminds him of his former life, and of those Kama Taj teachers and friends who separated the two worlds......

Already slightly vague in his memory, he thought of his teacher. Master Yao had already said that he had lived too long, that he was too tired, and that he wanted to find a successor to take over from him to protect the world. And he lived up to his expectations and defected to the embrace of the current world, so who can the teacher find to be his successor......

However, there is always an end to music. When the song finally came to an end, Xiwen pulled his thoughts back from the melodious singing.

Before he knew it, he was already in tears.

The audience burst into applause, and Abraxas, who was sitting next to Shivin, looked at him incredulously and asked, "What's the matter with you?" Crying like this? ”

Xiwen casually pulled out a napkin from the low wooden tube in front of him, wiped away his tears, and pretended to be calm: "This song is so good, so moving." ”

Not far away, Elshiona obviously noticed Xiwen's abnormality, and leaned over and asked with concern, "Xiwen, are you okay?" ”

At the same time, she turned to Abu again and said very seriously, "Did you bully Shivin, Malfoy?" ”

"Me? Bullying him? Abu said with a shocked face as he listened to Elshiona's affectionate and distinct title, feeling a little toothache. You don't want to think about who can bully him in the first grade? ”

Xiwen had also adjusted at this time, and listening to Abu's words, he felt a little happy, so he said to Elshiona: "Don't worry, Al, I'm fine." As for the question of whether Abu can bully me......"

He glanced at Abu and said teasingly, "If he can study a little harder, maybe there are still some possibilities." ”

"I kind of understand, you two are joining forces to bully me!" Abu's face was covered with black lines, and he was depressed and energetic with the food in front of him.

Xiwen smiled knowingly, and accidentally glanced at the faculty seat on the stage.

Principal Duppet sat in the most luxurious chair in the middle, and he wore a rare red gown, which looked very festive, but it was incompatible with the horror atmosphere of Halloween.

One by one, the surrounding professors walked up to him and congratulated him, and most of them prepared gifts for him, and the old principal responded to them with joy.

According to Dumbledore, Headmaster Diper had just celebrated his three hundredth birthday the other day. However, he was always frugal and did not want to hold a separate birthday party to celebrate his birthday, so he decided to have his birthday celebrated by the internal faculty at the Halloween dinner.

At this time, Xiwen suddenly noticed that there were two empty seats in the faculty seat. Except for Professor Kettleburn, who had recovered his health more than a month ago and was getting used to walking on wooden legs, who was standing next to the principal and chatting with him with a red face and a thick neck, there should have been one other faculty member who did not attend the dinner.

"Abu." Shivin asked, patting Abraxas on the shoulder. "This banquet is not only a Halloween dinner, but also a 300th birthday celebration banquet for the president, which professor is so faceless that he dares not even come to such an important occasion?"

Abu was also curious when he heard this, and looked over to the faculty chair.

"There's really a professor who didn't come!" He said after looking roughly left and right. "But how do I know who this is?"

Mobley heard their conversation, looked up to have some fun, and said to Abu, "Anyway, we have almost eaten, or we will find out who didn't come to the banquet?" ”

"Great idea!" Abu nodded. "The first to find it will have the priority to copy the work of Xiwen and Gomez!"

"That's it!" Hearing Abu's proposal, Mobley instantly became combative, and his eyes widened to count the professors on the faculty seats.

"You didn't ask us for our opinions......" Shivin and Gomez looked at them helplessly.

Gomez also added on the side: "The problem is that they don't recognize all the professors at all, and if they don't know anyone who didn't come, then how can they find out who didn't come?" ”

Xiwen nodded in agreement.

However, Abu was even more confident, and said confidently: "Isn't it just a relationship between people, then I will win!" ”

Mobley didn't have the connections that Abu had, so he could only widen his eyes to an exaggerated degree, and tried harder to find the professor who didn't come.

Xiwen looked at the two of them boredly and yawned. Then, a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind!

"Is Professor Lorrey here?!" He stood up abruptly and asked eagerly.

Abu and Mobley were stunned for a moment when they heard his words, and checked it in the faculty chair, and found that it was really Professor Lowe who did not come.

Both of them were stunned and protested: "Xiwen, you can't do this, you are destroying the fairness of the game!" ”

Xiwen was in no mood to pay attention to the two of them at this time, and his brain was spinning rapidly. With an excellent memory, all the things that have happened since the beginning of school are vividly vivid-

On the first night after the official start of school, in order to find the kitten, he violated the school rules and traveled at night in the castle, and met Professor Lorey, who was also on the night tour, but he still relied on the cover of the ghost Xiwen to keep himself from being exposed;

After Thursday's astronomy lesson, he and a group of Slytherin wizards ran into Professor Lorey in the entrance courtyard, who had just come up the spiral staircase leading to the dungeon;

On the same night, instead of returning to his office to rest, Professor Lorey made a circle and returned to the entrance courtyard, where he was curious about him and was followed by the ghost Siwen, but was interrupted by his encounter with Master Angulo;

Later, he and Professor Kettleburn were attacked in the Forbidden Forest. In the Defence Against the Dark Arts class in the second week after the attack, I felt an inexplicable familiarity in Professor Lowe's eyes, but I never doubted it again after that class;

And then today, after communicating with Dumbledore, I found out that I had unknowingly cast a confusion charm, and this confusion charm lasted for a long time, even to the point of affecting daily life......

One coincidence may be a coincidence, but so many coincidences are no longer coincidences, but real facts!

The truth is that the dark wizard in the Forbidden Forest who is wrapped in bandages is Professor Lorey, and the magic nodes of the castle have also been destroyed by him!
