Chapter Eighty-Six: Pursuit

Hearing his words, Lou Wei forced himself to turn his head back. Only the constant dripping saliva from the mouth faithfully reflects the psychological condition of the owner.

"I'll leave first. With your physique, it won't take long for this injury to recover. These are all welcome gifts, and I'll come back to see you in two days. After saying that, he didn't stay long, and turned around and left.

Re-locking the door, Ivy headed for the Hufflepuff lounge. Harry may not be able to deal with the Demon Breaker this year, and he is ready to subdue Lowe in case of emergency.

For him, a chef, dealing with a hungry dog is a matter of getting his hands dirty, and it takes some time.

When you come to the moving staircase, you are confronted by a figure covered in mud.

"Harry?" Ivy asked uncertainly

"It's me~" Harry replied weakly

"How did you do this?"

"Alas~ It's hard to say"

"Okay, you have a good rest"

Ivy was ready to leave

"By the way, Ivey, do you want to come to a banquet here?" Harry asked suddenly

"What banquet?"

"Nick's 500-year-old death party for the almost headless one," Harry struggled to utter the somewhat awkward words

After hearing this, Ivy looked at him with a strange expression

"What's wrong?" Harry was inexplicable

"Harry, it's certainly not a pleasure to be around so many ghosts."

"But I've promised him! What to do? Harry said embarrassed

"I'm not going~" Ivy said indifferently, "Just make up a reason"

"I'll think about it," Harry frustrated...

β€”β€”β€”β€”

On the eve of Halloween, the auditorium was beautifully decorated as always. Dumbledore also brought in a skeleton dance troupe to cheer up. In order to cater to the festive atmosphere, the young wizards all wore pointed wizard hats.

"Harry, are they still going to that ghost banquet~" Ivey turned around and didn't find them

"Aren't we going to go around? Maybe it's interesting," Betty asked. She had heard about it from Ivey

"Of course it's interesting, do you want to go together?" The Hufflepuff House Ghost Fat Friar suddenly burst out from under the table

"Hey! Don't be so sudden~" Mike was so frightened that he spilled juice

"Hey, Fat Friar, aren't you going over?" Ivey said

"The banquet is down there, no hurry. No one else has come," replied the fat friar

"All the ghosts of Hogwarts are gone?" Betty asked

"Not really. Lady Gray doesn't like this noisy environment, while Lady Gray is a bit unsociable and always on her own. ”

"Then you can help bring a blessing to Nick, and we won't go." Ivey said

"It's a pity~" The fat monk sighed, and his body sank into the table.

The banquet continued. The cheerful festive atmosphere also washed away the dark clouds of the day. The young wizards were discussing the upcoming House Cup, and the pumpkins in Hagrid's Garden were also eye-catching. Two oversized jack-o-lanterns are placed in the center of the hall, one behind the other. Colin was a rare sought-after one, and countless little wizards pulled him to take pictures of himself and the jack-o'-lantern.

When someone takes pictures, Lockhart is naturally indispensable. He smiled and walked out into the crowd to take a picture.

"He's a nowhere to be found," Ivy complained

"If you are envious, you can pass"

Betty spotted a couple of little Ravenclaw girls in the distance, staring at Ivy eager to try.

Ivey is still very popular with girls at school. He is handsome, strong, good-tempered, and has a pure bloodline. This can be said to be a rare existence in the wizarding world.

"Let's go take a picture too," he said, taking Betty's hand and walking over to Colin

"Ivey, do you want to take pictures too?" As soon as Colin straightened up, he spotted them.

"yes, give me a line," Ivey said familiarly

"No problem, you guys get your posture first"

Evily took Betty's hand and walked over to the jack-o'-lantern "Betty, this- let's make a heart"

Betty followed Ivey's instructions, and the two of them waved their hands left and right over their heads, forming a heart shape in the middle.

"Alright, Colin"

"OK, laugh one"

Looking at Ivey's childish appearance, Betty also showed a bright smile.

"Okay, that's it, it's perfect!"

As the lights flashed, Colin handed the picture over.

The bright smiles of the two are matched with some earthy postures, but there is an inexplicable sense of fit.

He handed the picture to Betty "You can keep it"

"I'll go back and make a developer later," Betty said, taking the picture and nodding

Back at the table, before she could take her seat, Betty suddenly grabbed Ivey's arm. Leaning forward, a cold voice sounded in his ears

"That thing came out again"

......

"Maybe you can get a few puddings when you go back at this time."

At the same time, Harry and the others had left Nick's banquet and were on their way to the Great Hall. Ron, who was thinking of the pudding, took the lead and led the way into the foyer hallway.

That's when it happened

"Shredded..... Tear you apart.... Kill you..."

The grim voice, long lost and almost forgotten, sounded in Harry's ears again.

Harry immediately stopped, pressed his ear to the wall, and carefully picked up the sound.

"What's wrong with you?" Hermione, who was following her, asked. Ahead, Ron heard movement and looked back at him.

"Shhhh The same voice came again," Harry gestured quietly

Hearing this, Hermione and Ron also looked around nervously.

"Hungry - it's been a long time....""Blood.... Need...."

"Listen! Can you hear me? Harry asked eagerly

But Ron and Hermione still looked at him blankly, "What the hell is the sound?" We can't hear anything."

"Kill... It's time..."

The sound grew fainter, and Harry could feel something moving upwards. Why does it move up? Is it some ghost? I was puzzled.

"Follow me, it's going to kill!"

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"Can you still hear me?"

Betty and Ivy also left the auditorium and were patrolling the hallways.

"Well, it's always moving. Now go upstairs. Betty touched Best on her shoulder

"Let's go, let's go upstairs."

Ivey led the way towards the stairs, and had just climbed one step when an unexpected person came down the stairs.

"Ginny! Why are you here? Betty said suspiciously

Ginny's reaction is also interesting. originally had a happy expression, but suddenly stiffened after seeing the two of them. Then he smiled weirdly, and then he became sluggish.

"Ginny, Ginnyβ€”" Seeing that she froze, Ivy kept shouting.

Ginny's eyes gradually returned, and she looked around blankly, becoming a little panicked when she noticed the two of them.

"Ai-Ivey, B-Ty?"

"Are you alright? Why don't you go to the auditorium to celebrate? Betty asked

"I just- just came out to go to the bathroom," he stammered, and ran away with his head down.
