Chapter 61: Blurred Illusion
Halloween is here.
When students wake up early in the morning, they can smell the smell of roasted pumpkin in the air.
Even the little badgers, who like to settle their breakfast in the dormitory and toilet on weekdays, are attracted to the auditorium by this rich aroma.
The entire auditorium is also decorated with Halloween decorations:
Hundreds of large-mouthed bats hovered over the enchanted ceiling, each with a backframe that looked like a smaller Snape.
The pumpkins the size of a wagon planted by Hagrid were also hung on the walls, but no one dared to pass underneath them because they were so big that the students were afraid of being hit in the head.
Even the candles have been replaced with jack-o'-lanterns, and when students get closer, they will let out a "jiji" laugh, like a special spell spirit.
Breakfast is even more plentiful, with pumpkin juice, pumpkin chowder, French butter fried pesto squash, onion leek milk squash, asparagus corn stuffed pumpkin, ricotta roasted pumpkin......
As long as you can think of the dishes, the side dishes are all replaced with pumpkin, whether it is delicious or not, but the creativity is really full.
The whole Hogwarts was also filled with a relaxed and happy atmosphere, and even the professors, who were usually unsmiling, had a rare day of relaxation.
In Charms class, Professor Flitwick shows you how to use magic to carve patterns for pumpkins.
He knew art, and carved a picture of Hogwarts Hundred Ghosts walking in the night, drawing all the ghosts in the school, and the beautiful Lady Gray undoubtedly stood in the most prominent position.
Every student was excited and wanted to create, but when it was their turn, they were more abstract than the other.
Ron's broken wand blew up the entire pumpkin, and the pumpkin seeds were scattered directly.
Professor Flitwick was furious and scolded Ron for copying the sentence "I'm a wizard, not an orangutan swinging a stick".
In Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall asked students to turn animals into candy, and since the last time she used beetles, some students pinched the teaching tool, so she simply replaced it with ...... Cockroach.
No one can pinch it to death now.
Professor McGonagall also patiently helped the students who were unable to transform to complete the final transformation.
At the end of class, she didn't take away the teaching tools, and let the little wizards leave directly.
It soon became clear to everyone that Professor Lockhart had changed into a female ghost and stood at the door of the classroom, asking the students for Halloween candy.
The little wizard stuffed the cockroaches into candy to Professor Lockhart.
Lockhart opened the package and ate five or six candies in a row, and when he entered the seventh in his mouth, the candy finally turned back into a cockroach and burst out of the pulp.
Standing in the distance, Shirley, who watched this scene, couldn't help but stick out her tongue and laughed quietly:
"I didn't expect Professor McGonagall to be so funny, I always thought she was very conformist and couldn't play pranks."
"Shirley, you're so naïve." Rove snorted twice, and directly mapped the cannon:
"Gryffindor students are all wilted, but we Hufflepuffs are different...... It's all honest!
Look at me, the typical Hufflepuff good student! ”
The ponytail girl smiled, made a playful grimace and said:
"I'll make a note of it, and I'll tell Hermione what you think of Gryffindor when I get back."
"Shirley, you're not being kind." Rove's eyes were glazed, and he sighed:
"Hufflepuff and the Ravenclaw family are close ...... We have to join forces, don't be a little traitor. ”
"Who's with you!" Shirley raised her little fist and waved, and said in shame, "You talk nonsense again!" ”
……
……
Lockhart, who ate cockroaches, is hospitalized again and can't attend the dinner party, which has to be said to be good news for most wizards.
After all, it is said that he is going to perform at a dinner party, how to subdue the show of Halloween female ghosts.
Compared to the other teachers, the atmosphere of Potions class was not so strong, and Snape was never festive, including...... Valentine’s Day.
But this time, he unexpectedly taught the students to boil an invisible potion, and after taking it, they could temporarily hide for a few minutes to play pranks on others.
After Rove finished configuring, Snape also made him drink the potion.
The boy drank it, and his form vanished, and Snape glanced at the speculum to see that it was already shining and spinning.
Strange, wasn't Scamander really in the Potions classroom that night?!
The undying Snape was a little confused.
Rov sat in the chair, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, trying to trick him?
Hmph, as soon as Professor Snape lifted his robe, Rove knew what color of panties he was wearing.
It's definitely black...... After all, the professor never washes his hair and underwear.
At lunchtime, Dumbledore "accidentally" leaked the news that the famous Skull Dance Troupe would come to Hogwarts tonight to perform.
This news brings the Halloween atmosphere to the extreme.
Skull Dance Troupe...... As the name suggests, it is a dance troupe composed entirely of skeletons, and thanks to their special body structure, they can perform striptease and pole dancing that will not be harmonious.
Moreover, this is also the first comeback of the Skull Dance Troupe in half a year.
Half a year ago, at the opening ceremony of the Quidditch League in England and Ireland, the dance troupe leader threw his head to the audience, but was taken by a tuxetail without a leash.
The Ministry of Magic searched for two months before the skull head that led the jump was recovered.
The troupe also appealed to the Ministry of Magic to legislate against owners of unleashed swallowtails, a proposal that was strongly resisted by dog lovers.
As late as the evening, the students were still discussing the dance troupe.
Helena showed up in Rove's box just in time.
Rove looked up and found that Helena was wearing a very gorgeous drag dress, although she was still a ghost, her whole temperament had changed...... Extravagant.
"Is it time?" Rove closed the book and said, "Then let's go." ”
Helena frowned and said, "You're wearing this to the death festival?" ”
"What's wrong?" Rove wondered.
"At least it has to be formal, this is too plain!"
"It's okay, I'm a student." Rove said calmly, "It's normal to wear a Hogwarts uniform to attend a Death Day. ”
"Okay." Helena was a little disappointed, she thought that Rove was very handsome, and he should dress up in a fancy way, and it was better to make the dead bloody Barrow angry again.
As the two walked down the hallway, Rove looked at Helena's dress and asked:
"Helena, how did you ghosts change clothes?"
He had noticed more than once that the wraiths were not always dressed in stone.
Like the bloody Barro, after he died, he was able to get shackles to lock himself up...... Do ghosts still sell things to each other?
"A ghost is a collection of all the marks left by a dead wizard in the world." Helena explained softly:
"These clothes are all worn by me when I was alive, as a mark of my past, and they can appear when I recall."
As she spoke, the sorceress's clothes changed into another robe, a low-breasted garment, and a scar on her chest in addition to a large peak.
Helena obviously didn't like to show the scar, and even the scar on her chest was only shown to Rove, so she quickly changed back to the long dress she had just seen.
"Of course, this external change doesn't make any sense, after all, we are dead." Helena said in a sad tone:
"For a thousand years, I have generally maintained the same ...... as I did when I died"
"Helena, how did you feel when you died?" Rove wondered, "Does the soul leave the body directly and then become a ghost?" ”
"No, Rove." Helena was silent for a moment, then sighed softly:
"I was suddenly at Hogwarts, but I was the only one in the castle, and I wandered alone for a long time."
The woman's eyes were sad and said:
"My mother once told me that it was called a mystery, a place between life and death......"
