Hogwarts: The Book of Magic

Chapter 124 The Basilisk's Second Attack

When the time came to October 31st, there was continuous heavy rain outside, but it did not affect the happy mood of the little wizards at all.Since the morning, the house elves have been busy, because there will be a grand banquet tonight.

Last year, because of the appearance of a troll, the whole banquet was interrupted in the middle of it.The house elves were also very helpless, they had prepared a lot for the banquet, but they did not expect the banquet to be terminated suddenly.

But fortunately, the various colleges continued the banquet in their common room, which didn't let the efforts of the elves go to waste.

The whole day today, the little wizards were not in the mood to listen to the class, and everyone's thoughts were all flying to the banquet tonight.

Especially the little wizards in the second and first grades.

The little wizard in the second grade is because a troll came last year, so I hope this year will be safe and sound.The first-year little wizard hopes to have another giant monster like last year.From their point of view, this is something they can brag about with their families at Christmas.

The professors who had classes today also noticed that the little wizards below were a little absent-minded. Of course, the little wizards would be absent-minded at this time of year.

So every year today, as long as there are classes, the professors will let the students study by themselves. Except for Professor Binns, the old professors don't care if they listen to his class.

The decoration in the restaurant has changed. A huge pumpkin head is floating in the air, with white candles burning inside, and two or three bats fly out from it from time to time.The little wizards in the first grade looked at all this curiously. This was a scene they had never seen before.

The freshmen sat at the dining table, looked at everything around them curiously, and chatted with their friends from time to time.Of course, there is also a little wizard who is constantly taking pictures with a camera. When he sees someone, he asks, "Excuse me, do you know where Mr. Potter has gone?"

Colin Creevey, Harry Potter's fanboy.

"What are you looking at? Lean." Kex's voice sounded in Lean's ear.

"It's nothing." Lean looked back at Colin.

In the original book, both Creevey brothers died in the battle with the Death Eaters.

"I hope today is a good day. I don't want to have another troll. Hell, you know, many freshmen are praying to Merlin, hoping that a troll will come today." Kex said a little depressed.

He picked up the jug on the table and tried to pour himself a glass of water, but it was empty.

"This is really too bad. I don't want another troll today. They don't know the danger of trolls. The calves are always delusional about being able to fight tigers. What's more, they are not even cattle now, at most they are one A sheep." Kex shook his head.

Lean and Kex talked incessantly, and in a few moments Beaver came along, followed by Juana.

But when Juana came in, she didn't even look at Beaver and sat down with her friend.

This is also the normal state of Juana and Beaver. The two dare not get too close in public, lest others gossip.

About 10 minutes later, various professors appeared on the teaching staff.

Professor Dumbledore stood up and began to speak.

"Ha, Mr. Savior is not here?" Malfoy's voice sounded from the side, which caught Lean's attention.

Since the rift between him and Malfoy was formed, Malfoy had always been far away from him, and today was a bit abnormal.

But after Malfoy noticed that Lean was paying attention to him, he immediately shrank back, stopped being arrogant, and just talked to Goyle and Crabbe beside him.

Professor Dumbledore's speech is still so simple and capable, perhaps this is why most young wizards like him.For the students, the principal's speech can be so simple and clear, that is simply the best principal in this life.

Then it was time for a pleasant meal. The original quiet atmosphere in the restaurant instantly broke down and became lively.

All kinds of food and even some magical creatures suddenly appeared on the golden plate on the dining table.Backed by the Forbidden Forest and the Black Lake, Hogwarts is rich in species and diverse in ecology.If you want to eat, you can just go inside and find it.

For this banquet, the house-elves traveled around the Forbidden Forest for three full days.

The little wizards couldn't wait to pick up their knives and forks, and began to enjoy this sumptuous dinner.

After having a lot of inventory in their stomachs, the freshmen began to chase after their seniors to ask about last year's Halloween and the upcoming Quidditch match.

Now that we're talking about the Quidditch game, there's one person we can't get around, and that's Harry Potter.

So soon, someone discovered that Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley were not eating in the restaurant, so they started asking people around them.Afterwards, this matter was known to all the little wizards.

No one knew where Harry Potter was until the dinner party was over.Colin looked disappointed, and so did the little wizards who adored Harry Potter.

"Ha, what a peaceful day. Let me say, those freshmen's expectations fell through, and it was a peaceful Christmas. What's wrong with a quieter, enjoy a big banquet and then go back to the dormitory , take a good bath and sleep comfortably, this is the correct way to spend the holiday." Kesi said while picking his teeth.

"Kiss, do you know that you are now the same as the supporting characters who promote the development of the plot in those novels on the market." Lean said.

"No, I don't think it's possible. The trolls broke into Hogwarts last semester because of Professor Quirrell's mischief. This year's Professor Lockhart, hehe." Kespi smiled without a smile Twice, anyone can see the meaning of disdain.

Beaver nodded beside him, and Lockhart looked like a coward. He really didn't have the guts to let the troll in, and he didn't have the strength.

This was tested by the Weasley twins. Although Lockhart explained afterwards that he saw it, he wanted to play with the Weasley brothers, so he didn't expose it.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lockhart was making an excuse.

After dinner, the little wizards began to return to their academy lounge under the leadership of their prefects.Only at the beginning of school and on Halloween will there be a grand occasion for everyone to go back to the dormitory together. Usually, they are free to move after eating.

The young wizards from the four colleges came out of the dining hall in a mighty manner and began to walk towards the stairs.Two colleges go up and two colleges go down.

However, just after turning a corner, everyone saw an unbelievable thing.

Filch's precious cat, Mrs. Norris, was hanging stiffly on the wall, looking as if dead.

Standing next to him was Harry who had disappeared mysteriously tonight.
