Chapter 293: Halloween Banquet
Halloween, second floor of the castle.
Cedric sat in an empty classroom, covering his face, and whispered, "Kyle, I don't think it's working, so forget it." ”
They've been here for days, and nothing has been gained in the meantime...... It can't be said that the receipt is still there.
They became famous.
Almost half of the school knew that the first place in the third and fourth grades had been wandering around the library door these days and behaving very strangely.
I don't even know who it is, but it is rumored that this is a new type of learning method, using some ancient magical ritual to transform the knowledge in the library into one's own.
There are still many people who believe this kind of remarks that are nonsense when they hear it...... And it's convinced.
Recently, more and more people have begun to gather in front of the library, seriously imitating their movements.
Not to mention, they learned quite well, and the movements were called uniform.
Especially in the last two days, the library has almost become an attraction, and it is crowded with people almost all the time.
But correspondingly, Mrs. Pince's eyes became more and more unkind to them.
Because the group of people seriously affected the order of the library, she also tried to drive it away a few times, but to no avail......
After all, Mrs. Pince couldn't stay out all the time, and as soon as she left, those people would soon be back.
In this case, it is naturally impossible for her to have a good face for the two culprits, Kyle and Cedric.
Cedric felt that they might not be able to go to the library anytime soon.
Kyle sighed and nodded in agreement.
It's been a bit louder lately, and today they weren't even able to get close to the library because they were even blocked out by the crowd.
I guess it won't be long before the professors come to chase people out.
After leaving the classroom, the two lowered their heads and rounded the crowd back to the first floor to prepare for the Halloween feast.
The auditorium has been renovated.
A dozen huge pumpkins were carved into lanterns, the smallest of which could fit two people inside, and if there was one more Thestrals in front, it would be a pumpkin carriage.
At the auditorium door, Kyle also meets the Gryffindor trio......
"Say you have to do it." Hermione was talking to Harry, "You said you were going to the death party, you can't break your word, otherwise Nick will be disappointed." ”
"But Hermione, I didn't say yes."
Next to him, Ron said with a bitter face: "And the blob is gone, I still have to look for it." ”
"Your mouse?" Hermione frowned, "Didn't you keep it in your dorm room all the time?" ”
"That's right, it's still there at noon today, but it's gone in the afternoon."
Ron muttered, "Neville must have forgotten to close the door when he left...... I couldn't believe that if Spotted had run into Lady Loris in the castle, she would have been eaten. ”
"You don't have to worry about that." Hermione said, "Lady Loris never eats a student's pet...... In fact, it only eats what Filch feeds. ”
"Are you going to the underground classroom?"
A familiar voice came, and the three of them were startled, only to see Kyle and Cedric when they looked up.
"Hello."
Harry greeted the two of them and nodded helplessly, "You're right, we're going to the third basement room, where Nick will host his death party. ”
It can be seen that he has already regretted it a little at this time.
"I'd suggest you bring some snacks with you." Cedric reminded, "There's no food for you. ”
"But isn't that a party?" Hermione wondered, "How could there be no food?" ”
"It's a ghost party." Kyle corrected, "They don't like things like us quite the same. ”
After hearing Kyle's words, Harry seemed to regret it even more.
But as Hermione said just now, he had already promised Nick, and the other party had only helped him escape Filch's punishment before, so it was definitely not appropriate to regret it at this time, and he had to go anyway.
Deal...... Just leave early.
If they have time, they might be able to come back in time for the school party.
After a few more words, Harry and the three of them hurried away, and before going to the underground classroom, they had to help Ron find his mouse, and time was tight.
Kyle and Cedric walk into the bustling auditorium.
……
Ten minutes later, the banquet officially began.
As previously suspected, Dumbledore did invite the Skull Dance Troupe to cheer up the Halloween feast.
Moreover, they didn't have a rebellious-sounding name, but real skeletons...... Similar to Ghosts, but of a different breed.
With a burst of music and lightning and thunder on the ceiling, they appeared out of thin air on the reserved venue in front of the guest of honor, and as soon as they appeared, they attracted the exclamations of the young wizards.
Then the music changed, and they immediately began to dance to the rhythm.
At this time, Kyle also understands why Nick, who is almost headless, is so annoyed when he learns that the dance company is coming to Hogwarts.
Although it was a little scary at first to see these moving skeletons, the mood quickly faded as they danced to the music.
It was the first time Kyle had seen grace in the skeletons, and their every movement was full of beauty and power.
Thrilling looks and beautiful dance moves...... This huge contrast caused deafening cheers to resound in the auditorium in an instant.
From here, the applause in the auditorium hardly stopped.
Especially for the last dance, they chose a more upbeat and uplifting piece of music.
Magic Gadgets
It is also one of the most famous songs of the Weird Sisters.
In a series of cheerful drum beats, some of the little wizards couldn't help but jump along.
At first, only Fred and George, and a few Gryffindors entertained themselves, but as the music was halfway through, more and more people joined in.
Even at the guest of honor, Lockhart left his seat and danced along, his teaching level was average, but he danced very well.
He wanted to invite the other professors to join him, but both Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout refused.
However, Professor Kerry Dibubbaji, who was in charge of Muggle studies, gladly accepted his invitation and got up and went to the dance floor together.
Dumbledore laughed and slapped them at the side.
The song ended, but the cheerful atmosphere still spread through the auditorium, and the students chanted for another dance!
Dumbledore stood up and motioned for everyone to be quiet.
"Dance...... More powerful than any words. He smiled and said, "But it's just as important to fill your stomach." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the empty plates on the table were filled with all kinds of delicious food.
Pumpkin roast chicken, grilled steak with pumpkin sauce, pumpkin pie, pumpkin bisque, pumpkin pudding......
It's all pumpkins, and the main thing is a scene.
"Good thing we didn't go to the basement with Potter and them......"
Cedric also danced along just now, and now the excitement has not passed, and he can't help but say to Kyle, "This Halloween banquet is really amazing, do you think Headmaster Dumbledore will invite them next year?" ”
