Chapter 292: There's a Story in There
The Vanishing Cabinet was brought by Dumbledore, and Kyle wasn't surprised, but it was more interesting at that point more than fifty years ago.
It is known that Professor Dumbledore was awarded the Order of the Order of Merlin for defeating Grindelwald in 1945, the same year that Grindelwald was imprisoned in the Numengard Tower.
Dumbledore threw the Vanishing Cabinet at that time...... Tsk, there's a story here.
Of course, when it comes to the headmaster's gossip, Kyle doesn't dare to say anything more.
After all, Harry's mouth and Hagrid's fight are there, and if he leaks it one day, it will be a lot of fun.
"According to you, this cabinet was broken before?" Kyle asked.
"That's right, Peeves used to hide from Filch in this locker for a while." Nick said, "If it was good, Peeves would have been where it was." ”
"That's ......"
Kyle nodded, he did find a few cracks in the vanishing cabinet as well, and those marks were very old, they couldn't have just fallen out.
"What are you going to do with this vanishing cabinet?"
"Just leave it here." Nick, who was almost headless, said indifferently, "No one is coming to this classroom, and Peeves should bring it after that." ”
Kyle nodded thoughtfully.
They then left the classroom, and Harry noticed that Nick, who was almost headless, was still holding the transparent reply letter in his hand.
Maybe he wanted to repay him for his "life-saving grace" just now......
"About the Headless Hunters, I wish I could do something for you."
"No need." Nick casually put the letter back in his jacket, "I've decided to form my own team of hunters, and one day, they'll regret keeping me out." ”
Speaking of which, Harry's head was once again filled with a curious image of Nick shaking his head.
He hurriedly patted his face, forced himself to forget about those "dirty things", and then said with a dry smile:
"That'...... Good luck. ”
"Thanks, but I have a request."
"What......" Harry asked.
Although this may be a bit excessive...... But will you be able to come to my death party? ”
Nick, who was almost headless, said with some anticipation: "On the eve of Halloween, when the time comes, I will announce the formation of my own hunter team in front of all my friends, and I will be honored if you can come." ”
"I'll come." Harry readily agreed, "Can I bring anyone else along?" ”
"If you're talking about Mr. Weasley and Miss Granger...... Of course, they are also the most popular. ”
He looked at Kyle again.
"I'm sorry, Sir Boltington."
Kyle said regretfully, "As much as I would love to see a great team of Hunters born, I had promised Cedric to join him to see the Skull Dance Troupe perform, so I ......"
"Oh, of course......" Nick said with a smile as he almost lost his head, "I mean, if you promise someone else first, then you must keep your promise the most, and I say it's too late."
However, did Dumbledore really invite the Skull Dance Company? ”
"This is what Professor McGonagall said inadvertently the other day, and it should be fine." Kyle said.
"Oh...... Why this year! ”
Nick, who was almost headless, tugged at his hat, "I've loved their performances since two hundred years ago...... And I heard the howling baron say that they had recently choreographed new dance moves, and it was wonderful.
Why this year! ”
Nick, who was almost headless, spun around in mid-air a few times, "You say, if I invite the Skull Dance Troupe to my death party after the performance, will they agree?" ”
"It should ...... Yes. Kyle said uncertainly.
While skeletons and ghosts are essentially the same, they are two species...... It's hard to say if they'll be interested in the ghost set.
"It would be nice if I could agree."
Nick, who was almost headless, looked out the window wistfully and muttered to himself, "The Skull Dance Troupe, and Harry Potter, come together for my death party, that's amazing!" ”
……
After leaving this hallway, there are stairs not far ahead.
Kyle and Harry are heading back to their respective common rooms, and Nick is going to look for Peeves...... They were separated.
……
By the time Kyle returns to the common room, it's almost curfew time.
However, there are still many students in the common room who are making up their homework, which is also a Hufflepuff tradition.
Kyle finds Cedric and Connor near the window.
"Death party?" Cedric rejoiced, "It's good that you didn't agree, I dare say that that kind of scene must not be suitable for the living." ”
"You've attended?" Connor asked.
"Nope." Cedric shook his head, "But when I went to the kitchen before, I saw a house-elf carrying some freshly prepared food out of the kitchen.
He also said that it was for the ghost party, and that it would take a long time until they completely rotted or mold grew. ”
"House-elves probably won't allow that kind of thing in the kitchen." Connor whispered.
She has been to the kitchen many times and it is always clean and the food is always freshest.
"yes, that's why they took those things outside." Cedric shrugged.
"Come to think of it, it's not a fun experience to have to deal with a lot of moldy and rotten food at a Halloween dinner."
"So I refused." Kyle said, "But looking at Potter, he seems to be interested. ”
"Harry Potter......" Cedric smacked his lips, "no wonder he can defeat the mystery man, but unlike us, normal people probably wouldn't want to go to the ghost party."
Shall we go and remind him? ”
"It's useless, Potter has already agreed." Kyle said, "He didn't even hesitate for a second. ”
"Then there is no way......"
It was still pouring rain outside the window, and it was as dark as ink, but inside the house was bright and cheerful.
While the others were doing their homework and playing wizard chess, Kyle told Cedric and Connor about his amazing experience in front of the library.
This made them quickly forget about the ghost.
"You were passing by the library and suddenly smarter?" Cedric's mouth opened wide in surprise, feeling like he could stuff a whole potato.
"How is this possible!"
He didn't know how many times he had walked the road in front of the library, and if that was the case, he hadn't encountered it once.
Connor wasn't convinced.
This kind of thing...... Professor Snape never mentioned it to her.
Moreover, if you can become smart by walking in front of the library, then what kind of class is there, everyone can go there every day and queue up.
"I think it's incredible, too." Kyle whispered, "But I did meet it, and I didn't lie to you." ”
"Is it possible that you have been too tired lately and have hallucinations." Cedric still couldn't believe it.
"It could also be something you didn't understand before, and suddenly you figured it out."
Connor glanced at Kyle and thought about it, "I was like this before, I couldn't boil the perfect water of life and death, but once when I picked up the cauldron, I suddenly knew what I was wrong with, and then I made the perfect water of life and death very smoothly." ”
She thinks Kyle should be the same as she was back then.
"Maybe it......" Kyle was a little unconfident when the two of them said this.
He decided to try it again in front of the library in the next few days, if it still didn't work...... Then there is no way.
