Chapter 16: Halloween Eve Attack!

It's Filch again!

Cyrus's patience with this obnoxious Mr. Administrator has almost reached its limit.

But the real headache was the cat, which probably had a bit of raccoon blood or something, except for a very sharp nose, it seemed to be able to see through a little bit of magic. Cyrus was almost exposed several times because of it, and if it weren't for that, a single squib wouldn't have been able to help him.

Especially sometimes it is especially dangerous to meet not only Filch, but also Snape, who does not sleep at night.

No wonder Tom wanted to cut this cat in the original book!

"Stop! Don't move! I've found you! Filch yelled viciously into the air. But in reality, where Sellers now stands is behind him. Lady Loris sniffed him all the way to the outside of the Room of Requirement, but found nothing.

After making sure that his illusion spell had not expired, Cyrus walked away without hesitation.

At this moment he heard Peeves' mockery coming from behind him: "Poor Felger, you are being tricked!" ”

As a result, the two guys began to dog-eat-dog and fight each other.

The time was getting closer to Halloween, and Sellers felt it was almost time.

On the night of Halloween, Hogwarts was completely different from what it had ever been. The pumpkin that used to be almost a man's height in Hagrid's field has now grown to the size of a shed!

The inside of these pumpkins was hollowed out, some of them were made into jack-o-lanterns, and the rest were turned into pumpkin juice and served on the table. The castle is decorated with bats, and the ghosts used to be the most active at this time, but this time, even Peeves were nowhere to be seen.

Thanks to Sir Nicholas, who made it his 500th birthday.

At the dinner, Percy looked around with a frown, and the Twins and Lee Jordan were sitting together, almost on the verge of falling out.

"Fred! What about Ron? Harry and Hermione were gone. Percy grabbed one of the twins at random and immediately asked.

"I'm George! It's a shame that you're still my brother! George's eyes widened, a little annoyed. Because this time he wasn't a prank, Percy did recognize the wrong person!

"Sorry......"

"Well, you want to know where little Ronnie went?"

"That's pretty cool to talk about!"

The two of them immediately changed to surprised and cheerful expressions, of course, the schadenfreude was a little more likely: "They went to the ghost party, can you imagine?" A gathering of ghosts! I guess they eat rotten pieces of meat! ”

"A gathering of ghosts?"

"You don't know, it's the 500th anniversary of Nicol's death, who almost lost his head. If you want me to say, he really has the idea to commemorate the date of his death! Fred laughed and shook his head, presumably thinking that Nicol, who had almost lost his head, was a genius.

The two of them overheard this when Harry was talking to Ron and Hermione. At first, they had the idea of getting involved, but after some information, Fred and George gave up.

Isn't it fragrant to eat a hot meal in the hall and drink warm pumpkin juice?

"Why don't you care about your sister? You know, Ginny isn't there either! George glanced over to the lower grades, and there was not a single conspicuous redhead among the lion cubs.

"Ginny is not feeling well and will come later. You should care more about her, she's been cold for weeks! Percy said sternly.

At this moment, all the teachers and students of Hogwarts gathered in the hall, even Filch was no exception.

Only his cat, still performing his unpleasant duties, roamed the corridors of the castle.

Now, it has a familiar smell.

During this time, the owner of this smell had fled in front of him too many times, which aroused Lady Loris's desire to win. This crevet-blooded animal has an extraordinary intelligence and has come to see Sellers as a thorn in its side.

To do this, it searched for the scent and moved towards the third-floor hallway.

Cyrus took control of Ginny's body and sat on the back of the giant basilisk.

He'd been letting the basilisk move inside the pipes all this time, and now it's time to take it out for a walk. It just so happened that the annoying myrtle also went to the death party. There's not a single one here, except-

A cat!

Lady Loris looked down and sniffed, and slowly came to the door of the bathroom.

There was water all over the place, probably a little leaky in one of the pipes, much to Lady Loris's disgust. Still, the competitiveness overcame all else, and it slowly walked around the corner with its slimy water.

The next moment, two dim lights were reflected in the water!

Lady Loris, before she even had time to react, was immediately petrified by the basilisk's eyes!

"The obnoxious guy is finally clean." Cyrus jumped off the head of the basilisk and picked up the petrified, immobile cat, which was now harder than iron to the touch!

He hung Lady Loris on the wall, leaving a line of blood-colored handwriting.

Actually, Cyrus used to be quite fond of cats, but obviously, Mrs. Loris was not one of them. The little things that hinder his resurrection, no matter how cute they look, must be removed!

At least temporarily.

Sellers then sent the basilisk back to the chamber and waited for his summons, while he slowly returned to the banquet. And returned the body to Ginny.

Ginny, who was in a bit of a trance, was not too surprised when she opened her eyes and found herself at the Gryffindor table. Apparently having guessed that it was "Mr. Riddle" who had taken control of her body.

'Mr. Riddle' hasn't had Halloween in 50 years, hasn't he?

Thinking so, she thought it was normal for Cyrus to miss Hogwarts on Halloween Eve.

Of course, she is also looking forward to this festival.

At this moment, looking at the delicious food on the table, she couldn't hold back anymore and immediately ate it in a big gulp.

Colin on the side opened his mouth to look at her, as if he didn't expect Ginny's face to be not good-looking, but his appetite did not change.

But that's a good thing.

The dinner was soon over, and Ginny followed the group back to the Gryffindor lounge. Strangely, the Slytherin and Hufflepuff common rooms were in the dungeon and the basement, but for some reason, Malfoy sneaked up on him.

They walked happily to the third floor, and then immediately fell silent.

The eyes of hundreds of people were fixed on the three small helpless figures in the empty hallway andβ€”

"The secret room has been opened, and the heir is the enemy, be on guard!"

When Malfoy noticed that it was Harry standing in front of him, he immediately stepped out and read aloud the blood-red handwriting on the wall, all the while his face was happy.

He looked at the still and stiff cat hanging there, his cold eyes lit up, his usually bloodless face flushed, and a cruel smile appeared on his face.

"You're next, Mudbloods!"
