Chapter Ninety-Nine: Halloween Eve (Part I)

Outside the door of the Three Broomsticks Bar, Ms. Rosmerta placed a large pumpkin from nowhere on the left side of the door. Then he clasped his hands to his chest, made a thinking gesture, and then took his wand and gestured to the pumpkin in front of him through the air.

"Hey! Ms. Rosmerta! ”

A low, but slightly shrill voice came from not far away.

Ms. Rosmerta turned around and said with some surprise, "Hey, Zoko, you're here so early today. ”

Zokohaha smiled and said, "Lady Padiv doesn't have any other ideas this year, and she has followed last year's design. So the action is fast. ”

Ms. Rosmerta also had a headache: "Me too, I don't have any new design inspiration at all. ”

"Are you going to use last year's design as well? In fact, your design last year was still very good, and it is still not outdated this year. ”

Zuo Ke praised loudly, and the cheerful tone made it difficult to distinguish the authenticity.

Ms. Rosmerta was completely unconfused, rolled her eyes and said, "The design of Halloween pumpkins has been the same for hundreds of years. ”

"Eventually, there is a change. Even if it's just a little bit. Zoko put his index finger and thumb in front of his eyes and made a 'little bit' gesture.

Ms. Rosmerta ignored Zuoko's not funny jokes, frowned and pondered for a while, she finally shook her head helplessly: "Let's make it the same as last year, I can't think of a better style for the time being." ”

"Optimistically, maybe it's because your design has reached a perfect level."

Zoko laughed as he drew his wand and swung it at the wheel-sized pumpkin.

Lady Rosmerta said ruthlessly, "I believe you said this to Lady Padiff as well. ”

Zuo Ke showed a smile without embarrassment. Then he put away his wand.

"All right, ma'am! Please accept! ”

Lady Rosmerta glanced at the grinning pumpkin in front of her, shook her head again, and pulled a silver sike from her purse at her waist.

"If I had studied Transfiguration well, I might not have needed you!"

While handing the money in her hand to Zuo Ke, she complained a little unwillingly.

"Learning and exploring never need to talk about the year. There's no better time to start than now. ”

Zuo Ke took the money and sent out a bowl of poisonous chicken soup.

Miss Rosmerta paid no attention to him, just looked at the pumpkin head, hesitated, and after a moment, as if suddenly thought of something, rushed into her bar, and soon rushed out in a hurry, with a large wizard's hat in his hand.

A satisfied smile appeared on her face as she placed her wizard's hat on top of Pumpkin's head.

Zoko also laughed when he saw this, and then walked towards the Hogsmeade post office not far away. And skip the hog's head bar in the middle.

He is not needed there. Aberforth doesn't seem to like people very much, but his magic skills are still very good. A little transfiguration will definitely not be difficult for him.

And the old boy didn't look like a guy who was willing to spend some money on this sense of ritual.

It's just a microcosm here, and all over the village, there's a festive atmosphere and atmosphere. For a time, this small village actually showed amazing vitality.

But this enthusiasm did not affect this corner now.

It's a humble corner of Hogsmeade, and to the east is the Screaming Shack, a haunted house that is well-known throughout the UK. And to the right, there's a big forest. It belongs to the outer edge of the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts, but it is not infested with dangerous magical animals. But still no one dared to take such a big risk to move around the forest.

And today, a man wearing a long black trench coat, a black wide-brimmed hat, and carrying a suitcase appeared.

He looked around, put down the box in his hand, and without hesitation, drew his wand, cast a disfigure, and disappeared in place. Only the box was left on the ground, alone.

Soon after, there was a rustling sound in the woods.

"Hell! Why don't we phantage away! ”

"Don't let apparitions change in Hogwarts, master."

"But it wasn't Hogwarts just now!"

"But that's all there is to it."

The same voice, in a different tone, seems to be talking to itself.

A moment later, Quirrell appeared. He saw the box on the ground, then glanced around, then frowned.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

"No one? But there are boxes? ”

He asked, a little confused.

"Heh, do you really think anyone would dare to be so blatantly involved in this? The other party's willingness to give us something is already the greatest help they can give. ”

Voldemort's voice in his head became more and more mocking: "It seems that Dumbledore is not as popular as he thinks." ”

"So what now?"

Quirrell couldn't understand it, but he didn't want to waste time here, because the school was very busy now, either busy with classes or busy with decorations, there was always something to do.

If he disappears for too long, he will be seen.

"Just go and get the box, and everything goes according to plan."

Voldemort's tone was full of confidence, because the situation today was naturally expected by him. Nothing went wrong with him, so he felt like things might be going surprisingly well today.

And if today's plan succeeds, then the Dark Lord will make a comeback and destroy all those who once resisted him and persecuted him while he was unprepared!

Especially those, betrayers!

By this time, Quirrell had already picked up the box and quietly walked back the way he had come.

……

In the Hogwarts school, students who have classes to attend are still in the classrooms listlessly. Although the people were still in the classroom, in fact, except for a few, their minds had already flown outside, in the venue that was being set up.

According to the grapevine, there will be a hot band coming into the school tonight.

Others said they might see the professors duel tonight.

"So it's just a meal tonight?"

Gemma looked at Professor Snape in front of her, and for a moment wondered why the professors had decided to do this.

Didn't you think about how to be lively in previous years?

In particular, Professor McGonagall, who was still the best of the year, was in charge of the preparations.

And Snape didn't say much, just looked at the letter in his hand, nodded and said, "Tell you in advance, notice the time to calm everyone's emotions, don't make any trouble......"

Gemma didn't speak, just looked at Snape and frowned.

"Okay professor."

After a moment, she spoke. Then he turned and left Snape's office.

Maybe you can ask Luke......

She thought so.
