Chapter 30: The Death Party
After getting Harley's response, Nick left satisfied.
Although Hermione was the only one in the group of girls around Harley who was willing to accompany her, Nick thought it would be nice to have Harley invited.
After all, this is the main event, and the others are just adding to it.
Now, of course, Nick thinks he's lucky tonight, so he decides to try and invite a few more young wizards.
After all, the death of the dead with the participation of the living is a very face-saving thing in itself.
As soon as Nick left, Lavender asked, "Harley, why did you agree to Nick's invitation?"
You also heard just now, how disgusting that death party was! ”
At this, she shuddered.
Parvati next to him also nodded in agreement: "Indeed, it's just dirty!" ”
Harley glanced at Parvati and didn't say anything.
Is she embarrassed to say? Hallie has analyzed a lot of unknown materials from the bottle of Ganges water she gave her! That's really unclean!
Hermione also showed a curious look: "So Harley, why did you agree to Nick's invitation?" ”
"Because there are many ancient ghosts that will go!" Hallie sighed,
"When the time comes, we may be able to know a lot of extremely top-secret knowledge, which is a beautiful thing!"
The girl next to her couldn't help but open her mouth slightly and didn't say anything.
Good, it's very Harley.
Of course, there was another reason why Hallie didn't say it.
She really wanted to study the connection between ghosts and spirits, and to study whether there was a spirit world in this world.
Due to her strength, Harley has not yet attempted to hold a ritual to enter the spirit realm.
And if she doesn't revert to a demigod, there's a high probability that Hallie won't try.
But this did not prevent Hallie from being interested in it and collecting news in advance.
After all, the spirit world has always been a treasure place!
……
On Halloween's Eve, Harley and Hermione went to the Halloween feast early to get a lot of food that belonged to the living.
By this time, the auditorium had been decorated, surrounded by bats and skeletons, and a huge jack-o-lantern had fallen from the ceiling.
Hermione looked at the large empty space in the auditorium and remembered the news from the girls:
Professor Dumbledore booked a very famous skeleton dance troupe to perform the dance for everyone's fun.
The little witch swallowed and foamed, a little regretting her earlier decision.
"What? Don't want to go to the death party? Hallie asked without looking up, filling her bag with two bottles of pumpkin juice.
She is really familiar with this kind of scene, and she has not seen it once or twice.
But Hermione swallowed and forced herself to look away from the auditorium: "If you say anything, it's hard to chase the horse."
I've already promised Nick, who is almost headless, that I can't go back! ”
……
So, at seven o'clock in the evening, Harley and Hermione passed through a doorway that led right into the Great Hall.
The auditorium is lit up with lights and candles, and a variety of fragrant pumpkin pies are placed on plates on the table.
Model bats with bellies full of candy fly around the auditorium, and lucky students can knock them down to get the delicious candy inside.
But Harley and Hermione walked in the direction of the basement classroom without looking back. There was still a glimmer of anticipation in Harry's heart, and she was extremely anticipating of the ancient ghosts she was about to encounter.
Candles have also been lit in the aisle leading to Nick's death party, which is almost headless.
However, these decorative candles may be more in line with the taste of the dead, after all, from a distance, they look like a cloud of ghostly fire floating in the air.
Harley looked at the small, black, thin candles and the blue light burning on them, and couldn't help but pull out her wand and lean in to study it.
"Phosphorus fire? There are traces of magic in these candles, and it seems that Professor Dumbledore takes these ghosts very seriously. ”
Harley pointed her wand at the small candles, scrutinizing them for traces.
Hermione was also interested in researching it, but her level was too low to do anything.
After Hallie put away her wand, Hermione couldn't wait to come up, "Hallie, is there anything special about these candles?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just a little bit of simple magic." Hallie waved her hand,
"There are probably some of them sold in the prank shops in Diagon Alley, and probably the school pays more attention to these ghosts, so they specially purchased a batch."
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, Hermione felt the temperature decrease with every step she took. She couldn't help but wrap her clothes tightly.
"Is it cold?" Harley asked softly, turning her head.
"It's cold, and I regret not wearing two more coats." Hermione rubbed her hands together, trying to create some heat.
Hallie thought for a moment and untied the outermost coat of her school uniform and put it on Hermione.
"Wear it! I was born with black flame and frost magic, and this cold is the same as none for me. As she spoke, Harley stretched out two white arms, exposed.
Black flames danced on one arm, while the other was covered in frost.
Hermione wanted to refuse, but when she saw Harry's performance, she couldn't help but nod.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps behind him.
Hallie and Hermione stopped and turned their heads to look.
The two didn't go far, so soon the people behind quickly chased after them.
It's Ron, Neville, and Ginny.
At that time, Nick invited the lucky little wizard at Gryffindor, and Neville was not embarrassed to refuse.
As for Ginny, it seemed that she had caught a cold again.
Madam Pomfrey, seeing that the little girl was too prone to colds, poured her two more bottles of pick-me-up.
After all, this potion is an herbal essence, and drinking too much is not harmful to the body.
So, Ginny was in a dazed state that night, and casually agreed to Nick's invitation.
None of the other young wizards agreed to the invitation, except for the two.
And Ron didn't use it originally, but when he saw that his sister was sick, he was invited to the ghost's death party.
He was not at ease with this, so he accompanied Ginny.
When the three of them saw Hallie and Hermione, they were all surprised.
Although Ron didn't know why, he suddenly felt that he didn't choose to go to the auditorium, which seemed good?
"Hallie, Hermione, why didn't you go to the auditorium?" Ron asked in a whisper.
"Nick invited us to the death party, and Hermione and I agreed." Harley glanced at the three of them, "You too?" ”
"I'm not, both of them are." Ron pointed to Neville and Ginny, "I didn't worry about Ginny, so I came along to take a look."
You can't count on Fred and George, they're both gone. ”
Harley glanced at Ron appreciatively, and when she first met him on the train, she thought that this boy had a good upbringing.
Now, it turned out to be so.
