Chapter 282: Dinner Party (Subscription Requested at the Beginning of the Month!! Please!! )
Luke returned to Hogwarts Castle with a sense of calm. Holding in his hand is a large pile of Duke Honey's Christmas-limited sweets.
Just in time for lunch, Luke places a large bag of candy on the table, attracting the attention of a large group of classmates.
Hermione was never polite to Luke, and casually opened the package, revealing the candy inside.
Crystal Skull Chocolate, Mummy Bubble Gum, Ghost Fudge and Pumpkin Hard Candy.
These candies are only marginally superior in taste to the usual candies. After all, during the festival, the materials are more solid. But correspondingly, the price of these candies is too expensive. It can even reach twice the price of normal candy.
Halloween professors, of course, prepare candy for their students. There's never a shortage of candy at a Halloween dinner. But...... The school's funding has always been limited, and even with a financier like Luke, the school's funding is not rich enough to allow students to eat such candy.
"For us?"
Hermione uttered an interrogative sentence in a declarative tone.
Luke just nodded. Or else? Does he eat so many sweets alone?
As he spoke, he took out a piece of crystal skull chocolate from his package. The idea for this candy is clearly from a South American legend, although the South American wizarding community claims that their crystal skeleton is not a legend, but a real one.
But I haven't seen any real evidence from them, so the British wizarding world, for example, really regards such things as legends.
And Luke knew that this was indeed not a legend, and that the Crystal Skulls did exist, at least one of the ancestors of the Gaunt family had actually seen one of them. Moreover, a large part of the treasure of the Gaunt family comes from Mayan temples in South America.
It's a pity that things like crystal skeletons were not occupied by the Gaunt family after all, but they didn't know where they were lost in the world, waiting for someone destined to wake up.
But...... This has little to do with Luke eating it, Luke just likes to eat chocolate.
He doesn't like bubble gum and he doesn't like hard candy. After stuffing the piece of crystal skull chocolate with its chin open and closed and singing nursery rhymes into his mouth, his hand reached for a piece of gummies.
Gummies' nickname looks like a Q version of the ghost. Poke it and it will let out a hoarse roar. Luke himself didn't see much of the resemblance between the candy and the ghost, but from the ghost floating in the castle, after seeing the candy stuffed into Luke's mouth with a look of fear and avoidance, Luke felt that the designer of the candy must have something.
Peeves in the distance looked like they wanted to say something to Luke, but seeing Luke glaring at him and munching on the ghost gummies in his mouth, Peeves didn't dare to lean up.
Of course, these sugars are very interesting. Although the price is expensive and the taste is not much better, it can be seen that it is quite careful. The money was not spent on the packaging, but on these small ideas, and Luke felt that the money was quite straightforward.
Luke isn't used to eating bubble gum, but Mu Mu Yin Bubble Gum is indeed the most interesting of all the candies.
George and Fred each stuffed a piece of mummy bubble gum into their mouths, chewed it, and blew out a large bubble. It may be that the bubble gum material in the wizarding world is more special, or it may be that the twins' bubble blowing level is really good, in short, this bubble is blown very big.
In the limelight of everyone, the two bubbles finally burst at the maximum limit they could reach.
But when these two bubbles burst, they turned into many white bandages. The bandages of the two men were wrapped together, and they were pulling at each other's side.
The twins were in a state of wrestling, and the two of them propped their hands on the edge of the table, resisting each other's pull.
The two men were in a stalemate for a long time, and after a while, the bandage fell down as if it had no strength, and it drooped on the chin, like a large white beard.
The twins spit out the bubble gum in their mouths, looked at each other and laughed
。
Everyone else was also eating all kinds of candy, and since Luke had gone out to buy candy, he naturally wouldn't buy these four varieties alone. The others are not limited to Christmas, there are not so many bells and whistles, but he naturally does not buy less more expensive and delicious candies.
However, most of the students still chose to eat these four candies.
Harry and Ron stared at the last pumpkin hard candy, and when they put it in their mouths, they laughed when they looked at each other. Then they all understood why the other party was laughing.
The people around him looked at these two people who were staring at the pumpkin heads, like two pumpkin knights, and they also laughed endlessly.
The whole table, and even the whole dining room, was filled with a cheerful air.
Professor McGonagall has finally finished her work on the entire school. Luke, the little bastard, picked her pick, and she had to come alone.
However, as she passed by the auditorium and looked at the happy expressions of the children, she couldn't help but smile. Although it quickly converged. However, you can still see the happy afterglow between the eyebrows.
She didn't know exactly what Luke was up to, but she knew that it wasn't just about preparing candy.
But she didn't think too much about it, thinking about it would only add to her troubles.
Professor McGonagall never really got along with herself. Since he can't control Luke, it's better to just let it go, anyway, he already knows enough about Luke's style, and knows that even if Luke has a little problem, he will definitely not make a mistake of principle.
Professor McGonagall looked at the smile on Luke's face, frowned, and walked into the professors' cafeteria.
"You don't look very happy."
Taylor's voice rang in Luke's ears.
He turned his head to look at it and saw Taylor's concerned eyes. After giving Taylor a "don't worry" smile, Luke took a deep breath but didn't speak.
Taylor pursed her lips, she didn't quite understand what Luke was worried about in this good situation.
After all, compared to last year, Luke's setup this year is much more mature and safer.
Although it is largely because of the geographical advantage, in the final analysis, Voldemort was easily solved, and there was not even a big trouble.
It seems that there are some conflicts in the school because of the control. But the contradiction itself was provoked by Luke himself. That's the trap.
And compared to last year, it seems that everyone's life is as usual, but in fact, the danger level is not known how many times higher. Not to mention anything else, if last year really scared the snake and made Voldemort aware of their arrangement in advance, then under Voldemort's madness, there would definitely be many casualties among students.
[The problem of slow update of new chapters is in the can.]
It's just that he really saw too many things in the secret room that surprised him, which caused him to be a little nervous.
But overall it's good.
After taking out Voldemort, Taylor doesn't know if there will be any other moths going on, but at the end of the day, Luke shouldn't be so unhappy right now.
Without thinking too much about it, Taylor blamed the cause of the problem on his outing today.
Taylor doesn't know what Luke did when he went out today, but judging from his current performance, Luke's goal may only be said to be unsatisfactory.
Taylor quietly leaned over to Luke's side, reached out to take his hand, and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, look ahead, no matter what happens, we'll face it together."
Luke smiled and reached out and touched Taylor's head. Taylor is a lot taller than the average girl, and if it weren't for Luke's growing taller with the help of Snape's potion, he might have really gone against the grain a little bit when he did this move.
Taylor frowned, looking at Luke dissatisfied.
And Hermione, who was opposite the two of them, looked at the two of them with some suspicion, and for a while the ghost fudge in her mouth didn't feel so sweet.
It always felt like something was going on that I didn't know about.
And just when everyone was happy, Luna and Ginny, two little girls who had not shown up since the beginning, suddenly popped up. The two of them were also carrying a large backpack each.
And when the two of them saw the table by the table, a group of people who ate pumpkin hard candy and became pumpkin heads, they were also a little confused for a while.
"Luna! What are you taking?"
George looked at the two stunned girls, and hurriedly asked.
The little wizard who was immersed in the joy also saw the two girls, and you began to ask questions as soon as you said a word.
The Twins and Luke are close. And they all know that Luna, a little girl, should have a similar status in Luke's heart as Hermione, Taylor, and Gemma.
George and Fred are too good. They know very well that Hermione, Taylor, and Gemma are the three girls who can have different status by Luke's side, in addition to the fact that they are close to Luke, there is also a big reason because the three of them have their own strengths.
It's no secret that Gemma helps Luke manage the property. Everyone felt how much Luke believed in Gemma. But Gemma didn't live up to Luke's trust.
As for Taylor and Hermione. They didn't know what the two girls were working on, but it was clearly something important to Luke.
But Luna is different from all of them, Luna just doesn't see any effect in Luke's side. But the status still seems to be very important.
How smart the two of them are! The girl next to the boss, the ghost knows that there is rain in that cloud. So the two of them have a good relationship with these four girls.
But the girls are really likable. Even Luna, who is out-of-the-box and unconventional, they didn't feel anything bad about this girl in the process of getting along.
And Luna's casualness and naturalness also left a deep impression on the two of them.
"It's a mask!" Ginny didn't wait for Luna to speak, and then she replied, "The masks we two made for you!"
It stands to reason that Halloween night is a tradition of costumes***, but because the location of Hogwarts Castle is deserted, and a group of students go crazy for a night and it is difficult to manage, the professors generally do not hold makeup***. A Halloween dinner is over.
Of course, there is no restriction on what everyone can wear at dinner. That is, you want to wear makeup, also casually. However, it is not recommended for everyone to pretend to be a ghost.
Because there is a real ghost sitting with you.
With that, Ginny, as a man of action, began to hand out masks to everyone. Harry swallowed the hard candy in his mouth, his head changing from the pumpkin head. Looking at the vampire mask in his hand, he didn't know what to say for a while.
The workmanship of the mask is very good. Although Ou can see a little roughness in the details, this little roughness is the proof that these masks came from the hands of two little girls.
So he put the mask over his face. I didn't feel any magic effect, and I thought about it, if I could make magic items, even if it was just a very rudimentary magic item, then Ginny and the two of them would be able to join George and Fred and make money.
Luke looked at the two girls in front of him, then at the mask in his hand, which was obviously different from the others, and smiled dumbly.
"Take it with you! Luna and I designed it for you!"
Ginny looked proud, this was not nonsense, the other people's masks were modeled after the masks they had seen in their memory. Only Luke's mask, the two of them put a lot of thought into it.
Luke listened to them and put on his mask. There was also a burst of praise around him.
In the midst of relaxed laughter, time passed slowly.
Finally...... The Halloween Dinner has begun.
