The wind wrinkled the surface of the black lake, the reflection of the moon rippled in the water, and several mermaids showed their heads on the water, looking at the bright castle in the distance, with puzzlement and yearning on their faces.

In the castle, the students all walked out of their dormitories and walked in the direction of the auditorium.

Professor Snape walked from his dormitory toward the auditorium. It wasn't him patrolling tonight, at least not at this time, so he walked and thought about the next day's lesson.

He wasn't very interested in this kind of celebrated holiday. After all, he has no one left to celebrate the festival with. If he could, he wished the school was as silent as a graveyard on holiday night.

Well, if I can become the headmaster, I will cancel all these useless celebrations. If you have this idea to hold a dinner party, it is better to let the professors put some thought into it and assign more homework to the students.

By the way, the next class assignment in Defence Against the Dark Arts class is to dodge ten spell attacks by rolling. A group of little bastards looked at how precious their robes were. No matter how precious the robe is, can it still have a small life?

And those little guys who can't even understand the flames until now, it's really useless...... You know, a certain second-grade imp is almost more proficient in using flames than him.

If Luke had heard Snape's words, he would have retorted to him. After all...... What is the second grade imp flame is very proficient, he was stronger than those senior students when he was in the first grade, okay.

After all, if the spell is controlled, it is not the power of the spell. The power of the spell can be achieved by increasing the power of the spell and vigorously performing miracles, but the spell control is a delicate job. Someone's flame is so bright that the tip of the cane is hot enough to light a cigarette. There are also people whose flames are blazing, and they dare to burn their eyebrows when they dare to put it in front of their eyes.

Thinking about what was going to be taught, Snape turned a corner and joined the crowd.

Then he noticed that there didn't seem to be any children in school uniforms around him.

The Hogwarts robe is not ugly, it can even be said to be quite handsome. Especially after entering the 20th century, the school relaxed the dress code for students, requiring only the school uniform to be worn at the necessary time. You can decide how to match the inside.

However, because the dressing style of the wizarding world has not changed much over the years, most of the students are still dressed in retro fashion.

It's not that the retro ones don't look good, but the retro ones are a little old-fashioned.

It stands to reason that at the Halloween dinner, it is true that the students are dressed regardless of the clothes, as long as they are not excessive, such as not wearing them, then they will not specifically ask for it.

But even then, students often go to dinner in uncreative outfits, at best, masks.

The tradition of the school is like this, and the students have no idea of changing the tradition. For them, a dinner party is a dinner party, which is more hearty than usual, that is, a change of decoration style and a little more hearty food.

To be reasonable, the meals at Hogwarts are already very good on weekdays. After all, it's a meal cooked by an elf who has tempered his memory for many years, and if he says that it doesn't taste good, he can only say that his mouth is too tricky.

But now, it's completely different!

Snape couldn't help but stop and watch the demons dance in front of him.

What pumpkin knights, mummy yin, ghosts, vampires, werewolves, and students in all costumes.

These things, which are synonymous with horror in the Muggle world, are still largely shunned in the wizarding world, but they are not the stuff of legend after all. As long as this thing can see things and dispel those exaggerated imaginations, then the sense of horror will fall in an instant.

[The problem of slow update of new chapters is in the can.]

On the contrary, there are a few that stand out from the crowd that look like green gelatin, with large heads, eyes that occupy most of the face, black holes, and no whites of the eyes. The arm is slender and something with only three fingers.

This thing really made Snape a little uncomfortable.

「o！ Fred! What kind of dress are you?!"

Lee Jordan looked at Fred, who was exaggerated and extraordinarily weird, and his eyes were about to glow!

Under the holster, Fred's voice came out sullenly: "Haha! This is the suit that Luke has contorted for us, saying that it is a terrifying creature in the Muggle world, what kind of alien is it!"

「o！ It's cool!"

Lee Jordan and Fred, who was writhing with his teeth and claws, amused each other, and everyone around them also found it very interesting.

Skinny Colin squeezed out of the crowd. Raising the camera in his hand, Kacha Katsa took a few pictures of Fred.

Thanks to Luke's speed in solving the problem, Colin did not fall into a state where he was persecuted by the basilisk to the point of lying down on the bed and directly losing most of the semester. Of course, the camera in his hand also managed to escape the fate of being destroyed and can be used in it today.

"Hey! Mr. Wesley! Look here!"

Fred followed the sound, followed by a kacha and a flash.

After the shoot, Colin in a munmy-yin hood excitedly shouted, "That's cool! I'm going back to show my mom and dad, they won't have thought I'd see aliens in the wizarding school!"

Normally, Colin's words would have made everyone laugh. But today, because everyone was already happy, they didn't take Colin to have fun.

In addition to Fred, there were several students who wore very special clothes. It's like Harry and Ron are both dressed as robots.

Ron just thought it was cool, and Harry felt something else.

What about the little boy who grew up in the Muggle world without a dream of a robot in his heart?

Even Harry would have been genuinely greedy when he saw Dudley's robot toys.

And now, Luke can be regarded as helping him realize his dream.

Snape stood alone in the middle of the crowd, like a reef exposed in the riverbed.

It wasn't until he felt someone tap him on the shoulder that he made a move.

When I turned my head, it was Dumbledore.

"Is this what you allowed?"

Snape asked, somewhat inexplicably.

Dumbledore smiled slightly, "Isn't that what was meant to be allowed in the first place? It's just that the previous students were short of money and creativity. Or rather, the ability is not enough. And with Luke here, his Transfiguration can help a lot of people with their costume problems."

The price of a good costume is not low, especially this kind of clothing can only be used once anyway, so it seems that the cost performance is extraordinarily low.

People often don't spend this money to buy such a dress. After all, it's true that it's not worth it.

「……」

Snape pursed his lips and frowned, with a hint of confusion on his face, but it was also normal, so many years of tradition were suddenly changed, and no one could easily adapt to it.

The sight of the demons dancing in front of him did not make Snape break his defenses. But a little upset is inevitable.

Looking at his tangled expression, the smile on Dumbledore's face became a little brighter, and he patted Snape on the shoulder again: "Okay! Don't think about it so much, let's go to the auditorium."

Snape shook his head and said, "You go first. I'll tell you about tonight's patrol. I thought there would be nothing going on today. But looking at this scene tonight, I'm still a little relieved."

The students all wore masks and were dressed in strange ways. Some of the students in the upper grades are at a fairly good level. There was a little guy dressed as a werewolf who gave Snape a second look.

If something like a werewolf does get in, it's going to be a big problem.

As for the fact that Hogwarts is safe and there is no such thing as a werewolf, Snape will not believe it at all......

Hogwarts is very safe, and dark wizards outside can't easily get in. And it is not uncommon for a dark wizard to enter Hogwarts to go anywhere in the world. Gringotts has been blown like that, isn't it still invaded by Voldemort?

However, the danger of Hogwarts lies in the cronyistic headmaster in front of him.

He thinks Hagrid is a good man, so he makes Hagrid the gamekeeper, and even intends for him to take over as a professor in the Conservation of Magical Beasts class.

Snape did not doubt Hagrid's expertise in Fantastic Beasts. Sometimes he needed materials, so he asked Hagrid directly for them. He was still somewhat sure of Hagrid's level.

And it is precisely because Hagrid is sociable in terms of work that Snape sees Hagrid's outrageousness even more. He relied on himself to be a giant half-blood, and even dared to get close to the eight-eyed giant spider. Anyone who sees this kind of thing has to shout outrageously.

What's even more terrifying is ...... Hagrid never considered himself a special person. The good thing about this is that Hagrid doesn't feel the slightest discomfort when he integrates into human society. He has never been ashamed of being a half-giant. This is quite rare among all kinds of half-breeds.

But here's where the scary lies. He is really different from normal people!

Not everyone can touch the fangs of the eight-eyed giant spider and say it's cute!

With such a person as a professor, Snape can guess the teaching style. Just think about it and worry about those children.

So, if the danger in Hogwarts is more than one stone, then the one bucket is coveted by the outside world, the one bucket is the mystery of the castle itself, and the remaining eight buckets are all Dumbledore's outrageous.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and Snape quickened his pace, he might as well be on patrol tonight. It can not only ensure everyone's safety, but also be able to see two birds with one stone, which is good for everyone.

Dumbledore looked at Snape's back as he left, and shook his head helplessly. This guy is still so unsociable.

But...... That's fine. If everyone is like Luke, it's also a headache.

With that in mind, Dumbledore looked at the young man in the crowd, wearing a basilisk mask.

……………………

Sitting in the crowd, Luke looked at Mrs. Loris, who arched her back at him, looking like she was going to fight with him for both life and death, and didn't know what to say for a while.

The basilisk mask made by Luna and Ginny is indeed vivid. The grasp of the details is very good. Obviously, I have grasped the essence of it.

Gloomy, fierce, furious, but with a subtle hint of meekness. After all, the basilisk that Ginny saw was a domesticated basilisk raised by Slytherin. It was also the only domesticated basilisk that Luke was able to find. After all, Toris has been determined that she is not a basilisk.

It's still normal for domesticated things to feel docile.

As the only victim of this turmoil, it is normal that Mrs. Loris does not have a good impression of this face.

However, it did not have long to be arrogant, and was taken away by Filch, who came in a hurry.

Although Filch has always had a lot of opinions about Luke, but seeing that Luke specially took out a ripening potion to make the mandrake mature early and save Lady Loris's face, he still decided to make less trouble with Luke and the guys around him in the future.

After such a small episode, the dinner went on as scheduled. It seems that they were infected by the enthusiasm of the students, and the professors also put on makeup and dressed themselves more or less.

Professor McGonagall performs a difficult maneuver that transforms her face into a cat-like appearance, but she still maintains her body. It seems that there is still some different kind of horror after all.

Professor Sprout dressed himself up as a witch doctor, looking like a witch in Muggle legend who used to scare children.

Professor Flitwick has always been able to confront his shortcomings, and he disguised himself as a leprechaun as if he were self-deprecating, and threw coins around the crowd.

This is also the traditional art of the leprechaun.

Of course, unlike the leprechauns, who can be faked and disappear when they are young, Professor Flitwick sprinkles gold chocolates.

The Weasley twins, dressed in alien costumes, are once again the MVPs who liven up the atmosphere. The two of them stood in the middle of a specially vacated dance floor, one singing the school song in a quirky tone, the other dancing comically.

Originally, at their suggestion, Luke also thought about whether to invite a top member of the wizarding world like the Weird Sisters to present this special Halloween dinner. After all, no matter how big a brand is, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can still be invited. However, after a group of students discussed it for a while, they persuaded Luke to give up.

After all, this is the first time they have engaged in such an event. It's okay if it's done well, but if it's not done well, it's self-defeating to be seen by outsiders as a joke.

Dumbledore looked at the extraordinarily cheerful atmosphere in front of him, and his hands gently beat the twins.

He looked at Luke, who was also beating lightly in the distance, surrounded by four girls. Nodding in satisfaction.

He doesn't like change. But that doesn't mean he will reject good changes.

This night is destined to be joyful.
