Chapter 41: Halloween (Green)
Ted went back to the dorm room, put down his bag, and went to the old place with his guitar.
Sure enough, before a tune could be played, Helena appeared.
"Did you find anything last night?" She asked a little urgently, her voice still a little ethereal.
Ted hesitated, "I'm not sure. Maybe some kind of magic left behind by Lady Ravenclaw......"
"Mother......" Helena's emotions could no longer hold on, and bright silver tears slipped from her eyes, dripped to the ground and disappeared.
"I miss her so much, I want to tell her I'm sorry. I failed to live up to her expectations......" Helena's grief continued to overflow her eyes, dripping and disappearing.
How do you comfort a ghost that has existed for thousands of years?
Neither Ted's shallow psionic knowledge, nor Muggle's less than a hundred years of psychological research, could touch the problem.
He could only listen silently to her crying on the side, recounting the past thousands of years ago.
She said that she was jealous of her mother's reputation, wanted to become smarter and more famous than her mother, and thought that stealing her mother's crown would get her wisdom, so that she later died tragically in Albania, and in the end she could not see her seriously ill mother.
He even said that he was deceived by a Slytherin student forty or fifty years ago and told him the whereabouts of the crown. That is, Voldemort......
Ted could only hold his guitar and look at her, not even giving her a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
"Well, it's much easier to say it. These words have been held in my heart for many, many years...... Let's talk about the statue of my mother. For so many years, no one had found out that she had been enchanted. "Helena was strong.
It was indeed a very ordinary statue, a bust of Ravenclaw with scattered hair instead of the legendary tiara.
The reason why it has survived for thousands of years is that the material is better, and on the other hand, the magic of the castle is maintaining it.
Ted touched his face, "Maybe it's not ordinary magic, it's more like a cloud of thoughts......"
He couldn't tell what it was, but he sensed a special emotion through the underlying mental consciousness. And not the usual magic fluctuations.
Otherwise, every generation of Ravenclaw deans is a top talent, and it is impossible to be unaware. It can only be said that it is a very different field from the current magic system, and even closer to psychic abilities.
As if to bring back some memories of Helena, she was silent for a moment and said, "Mother did put aside magic spells and a lot of ancient magic in her last years, and instead studied some unusual magic, I think I need some time to find ......"
"Thank you, Ted." She thanked Ted and turned to walk through the wall.
……
The afternoon class passed so quickly that the little wizards' anticipation of the evening slipped away as if they had no impression.
Even after class, Ron and Jerry in the hallway forgot what class they had just taken!
But it doesn't matter, because two months after enrollment, the first festival and banquet will come.
The excited air in the castle is scorching~
Today, because of the dinner, the dinner time will be a little later.
As soon as Ted and the six of them arrived in the auditorium, they were stunned.
The entire auditorium is illuminated by countless candles and braziers.
On the ceiling of the auditorium, a large swarm of bats flew around the walls, and every now and then a lone one hit the wall and disappeared.
They're all magical.
A large pile of sculpted pumpkins were piled up by the walls and tables, and some jack-o-lanterns floated in the air, spinning around.
The pumpkin pie on the table is stacked high and steaming, and a special sweet smell desperately burrows into your nostrils, causing saliva to accumulate involuntarily, and then swallow it with a "grunt".
"Ding~ Trigger Holiday Quest:
【Devil Cry Wolf Howl Halloween (Green)】
That's it? That's it? That's it? Eat some pumpkin pie, drink some pumpkin juice, watch bats fly, and touch jack-o'-lanterns? Halloween isn't so much! If it were in the Muggle world, the school would have been sprayed to death! Show them what a real Halloween is!
Goal: To scare 10 people before the dinner is over.
Progress: 0/10.
Rewards: 200 experience, card [Goblin Cloak (Green)].
Wear a pumpkin hat and wrap it around your auspicious head; Put on the ghost cloak and have good luck perched; Wearing superman pants, happiness can't be hidden; Step on the big boots, and be happier~"
Ted was awakened by the system, looked at the task carefully, thought for a moment, and whispered to his friends: "Friends, I think this is too ordinary......"
"Is this ordinary?" Ron's eyes widened - aren't you asking too much?!
Ted said: "As a new generation of wizards, we have a responsibility to make Halloween a little more fun, and I have a plan ......"
Jerry: It seems like Gryffindor could say that.
Hallie: Did you steal my lines?
Ted: Come on, we're doing this, we're this......, we're this, we're here, we're here, we're this
Soon, not only Ted and the six of them, but also the Weasley twins and their best friend and roommate, Lee Jordan, joined the plan.
Just when most of the students had already arrived, already tasting the pumpkin pie, and began to wait for the dinner to officially begin.
Suddenly, a scream rang out.
The students were caught off guard and turned their heads in unison to look at where the scream had appeared.
I saw a side door, a bloody face appeared, I couldn't see who it was, but looking at the clothes and figure, it was obvious that it was a student.
He looked like he was about to run in, but an iron-blue muscular ghost claw grabbed the back of his neck, and a bloody axe slashed at his head!
"Bang~" The boy's "corpse" fell to the ground with an axe on his head, and blood spread under him.
A horrible grimace peeked in through the door, the size of a wheel!
At the same time, a "biting" yin wind blew in from nowhere, and all the students who were still sluggish suddenly shivered.
Then, as if waking up from a dream, more than a dozen or twenty screams rang out at the same time, almost piercing the transparent ceiling of the auditorium!
In an instant, the light of the entire hall dimmed, and under the flickering lights were the ghosts of countless little wizards crying wolves, almost crawling everywhere to flee for their lives.
"Ding~ Complete the quest [Ghost Crying Wolf Howling Halloween (Green)], reward: 200 experience, card [Ghost Cloak (Green)]."
【Goblin Cloak (Green)】
Prop cards
Wear: Disguised as a ghost, walks silently.
Note: Even if it looks similar, there is no way to pass through the wall, so you don't need to try.
Then, a voice rang out: "Quiet! ”
The voice was familiar to everyone, as if it carried some kind of soothing ability, and it suddenly calmed the frightened students who were about to run away.
It's Dumbledore!
He and a few professors no longer know when they appeared in the professorship silently.
Ted hurriedly waved his hand to his friends in the dark: Let's go! It's too late!
He is ready to carry the black cauldron on the top, and the task has been completed anyway.
However, where could Snape let the bear child go?! He wanted to boil all the bear children in the crucible.
So, no one ran away, including Hermione.
"Oh, it's our Miss Jack-of-all-trades and Mr. Know-It-Everything, and ......" He glanced at Harry, a feeling of hatred brewing.
"And a bunch of trolls from Gryffindor!"
"Let me think about it, how should you be punished? Scaring students and trying to ruin the school's Halloween dinner, I recommend expulsion! ”
Made, Ted rolled his eyes at the sound - do you still want to be ashamed? Why don't you just sentence us Azkaban to life imprisonment!
Naturally, the professors couldn't let Snape do that.
Dumbledore pointed at his throat with his wand and silently used the Amplification Charm (loud voice): "Students, be quiet. It's just a little joke my friends play on Halloween Eve. I think it's kind of interesting. ”
At this time, the students finally found out that they and others had been deceived!
The "dead body" with an axe is played by Jerry.
The goblin who pretends to split his brain is Ron, who rides Neville's neck, and the two of them play together.
The big grimace was conjured by Ted using Transfiguration, and Harley was in control from behind.
Ted really didn't watch so many ghost movies in vain, this wheel grimace is really scary.
At first, Neville and Ron, who had seen it appear, shuddered.
And the "biting wind" was formed by Ted's use of the Freezing Charm to create cold, and Hermione's use of the Hurricane Charm to attract air flow.
The Weasley twins teamed up to use the Fire Extinguishing Charm, which could not completely extinguish the large number of candles and braziers in the Great Hall, but it could suppress the flames for a short period of time, greatly reducing the brightness.
Lee Jordan, on the other hand, is the atmosphere group, responsible for screaming in the crowd and guiding everyone to panic and not think rationally.
If it weren't for the professors' sudden appearance, Ted and the others wouldn't have been able to scare the students into peeing their pants this time.
Ted's task was completed in an instant, and instead of choosing to be scary, he did a big job. There must have been at least a hundred people who had been frightened just now.
Overfulfilled the task belongs to yes!
At this time, Professor McGonagall walked out: "You guys, you almost ruined the Halloween party, Gryffindor deducted 20 points!" ”
Professor Flitwick naturally had to say that although there were only two students in his college, according to Ted's confession of leniency, he was the mastermind. So Ravenclaw also deducted 20 points!
Ted looked at the task: [A student career is incomplete without deducting points (blue)], the progress has reached 75/100!
Ted: I want to laugh~
