Chapter 72: Halloween Eve
In the middle of the night, Rossi, who was woken up by a burst of shouting, suddenly regretted hanging Bulvi from the street lamp.
His hysterical cries for help were too disturbing to my dreams.
It's noisy!
Rosie, who was half-asleep, muttered, grabbed the quilt with her right hand and lifted it hard, and her whole body curled up into the warm quilt.
……
Time flies.
For Rossi, it would not be nice to be able to swim in a sea of magical knowledge without any burden!
The dream of going to school at Hogwarts when I was a child has finally come true.
Waving his wand and successfully transforming the goblet in front of him into a lifelike rose, Rossi cheered excitedly.
Being able to transform small objects at will means that her Transfiguration Charm has finally broken through the limitations of Beginner and reached Intermediate Level.
Taking advantage of this cheerful mood, she swung her wand vigorously and pointed sharply forward.
"Divine Guard!"
A bright, soft silvery-white light burst at the tip of the wand in an instant, but unlike the fluorescent flickering variant [Ultimate Flash], the light was bright but not dazzling.
I still can't summon the Patronus!
Rossi also asked Lupin about this, and the answer was that she lacked a particularly strong positive emotion to resonate with the Patronus.
Strong positive emotions? Resonate with the Patronus? I don't have a clue about this!
In the midst of his thoughts, there was a sudden knock on the door of the dormitory.
Rosie opened the door, and it was Hermione, blushing, standing in the doorway.
She was carrying a clear box containing a small piece of chocolate cake that looked appetizing.
"Here, try this cake, I think it's better than the house-elves at Hogwarts."
Hermione handed the cake over.
Huh? I just casually complained before, Hogwarts cakes are not delicious, and she actually remembers?
Rosie couldn't help but be a little moved.
Perhaps because of the shared secret, her relationship with Hermione became much closer.
"Thank you!"
Rosie said, taking the cake from Hermione's hand, "How's it going to be at Hogsmeade?" ”
"It's so much fun!"
Hermione followed Rosie into the house and said excitedly, "It's the first time I've seen a village where pure wizards live, and it's a great feeling!"
Rosie, you know what? At the door of Hogsmeade's post office, there were about two hundred owls, all crouched on shelves. As Ron approached, they all flew in an instant......"
Speaking of which, Hermione giggled, "If Ron hadn't run fast enough, he would have been pecked by an owl by his hair!" ”
How? Seeing your future husband make a fool of himself, you seem to be very happy?
Rosie complained in his heart and said casually: "Then Ron is really miserable!" ”
"Yes, he also has pets, but he is so unpopular with animals."
Hermione laughed and snapped her fingers, "Crookshank, Hedwig, and now even those post office owls. ”
"It's not just animals!"
Rosie teased as she opened the cake, "Don't you often lose your temper with him, too?" ”
"Uh......"
Hermione smiled wryly and said, "I don't know what's going on, and sometimes I can't help but lose my temper at him." ”
"You do the same to Harry?"
"That's not ......"
Rosie shrugged her shoulders and gave her a "you think for yourself" look.
Taking the only small spoon out of the box, Rosie lifted her wand and tapped it on it.
"Copy in pairs!"
With a pop, a spoon instantly turned into two.
Handing Hermione the original one, Rosie picked up the spoon she had copied with a spell and dug a small piece of the cake.
"Let's try it and see how the cake you bought tastes."
It looks like a chocolate cake, but when you eat it, it bursts out with a rich vanilla flavor.
"Vanilla?" Rosie looked at Hermione in surprise.
But hearing Rosie's words, Hermione, who was tasting the cake in her mouth, looked even more surprised:
"Isn't it strawberry-flavored?"
Strawberry flavor? How can it be a strawberry......
Suddenly thinking of something, Rosie raised her eyes and glanced at Hermione, who was also guessing.
The two of them picked up the spoon at the same time and dug a small piece of the cake.
This time, it's blueberry flavor.
"Amazing! It's a dessert in the wizarding world! ”
Rosie exclaimed sincerely, "The taste of this cake is so random!" ”
Although each flavor is not particularly delicious, it is better than a novelty.
"This is also Duke Honey's dessert?"
This is the only thing Rossi remembers, the dessert shop in Hogsmeade Village.
Hermione shook her head, "No, it's a new product from a cake shop called Slow Swallow Cake." ”
Slow to eat cake shop?
Rosie jotted down the interesting name.
Because they wanted to try how many flavors this cake had, the two chatted casually while slowly eating the cake in small pieces.
But until an entire piece of cake was wiped out, the two failed to find a single duplicate taste.
Just then, there was another knock on the door of the room.
"Claire? How do you ......"
Before Rosie could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Claire, who was a little anxious.
"Rosie, Hermione, why are you still in the dorm? The party is about to begin! ”
Banquet?!!
Rosie then remembered that Claire had told her that on Halloween's Eve, Hogwarts would report a big dinner.
"Yikes! I almost forgot! ”
Running out of the dormitory, after saying goodbye to the portrait of the fat lady guarding the door, the three of them hurried to the auditorium on the first floor.
At this time, the auditorium is decorated with jack-o-lanterns, which are essential for Halloween, and a large group of fanged bats are flying in the sky, giving it a festive atmosphere.
"What's wrong, Rosie?"
Seeing Rosie suddenly stopped at the door, Claire asked strangely.
"You guys go in first, I've got to go back and get something."
Rosie said, turning back the way she came.
It's so careless, how did I forget this!
Rosie patted her head with some annoyance.
In the original book, Sirius Black, who infiltrated Hogwarts, destroyed the portrait of the fat lady and broke into Gryffindor on the eve of Halloween!
As he quickened his pace, Rosie drew his wand and added an invisibility spell to herself.
Soon, the invisible Rosie returned to the seventh floor again, back to the corridor that led to the Gryffindor Tower.
At the door of the Gryffindor common room, an extremely thin man stood opposite the portrait of the fat lady, his elbow-length hair scattered haphazardly, looking extremely dirty.
"Open the door for me, fat lady! Don't let me lose my patience! Blake's sunken eyes stared fiercely at the portrait, intending to do it immediately if he didn't say a word.
"No, Blake, you're not a Hogwarts student anymore, and you don't have a legal pass, so I can't open the door for you!"
The fat lady said scrupulously.
"Then don't blame me for being rude!" Blake bared his yellow teeth and jerked his right hand aloft.
