Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 293 There is a story here

The Vanishing Cabinet was brought by Dumbledore. Kyle didn't find it too surprising, but the time point more than fifty years ago was more interesting.

As we all know, Professor Dumbledore received the Order of Merlin, First Class, because he defeated Grindelwald in 1945. In the same year, Grindelwald was also imprisoned in Nurmengard Tower.

 Dumbledore threw away the disappearing cabinet at that time... Gee, there is a story in this.

Of course, Kyle didn’t dare to say anything more about the principal’s gossip.

After all, Harry's mouth is as good as Hagrid's. If one day he lets something slip, it will be great fun.

“Do you mean this cabinet was broken before?” Kyle asked.

"Yes, Peeves often hid in this cupboard from Filch for a while," Nick said. "If it had been good, Peeves would have been where he was."

 “That’s it…”

Kyle nodded. He did find several cracks in the disappearing cabinet, and those marks were very old and could not have been just thrown out.

“What are you going to do with this disappearing cabinet?”

"Just put it here." Nearly Headless Nick said nonchalantly: "No one comes to this classroom. Peeves should take it with him later."

Kyle nodded thoughtfully.

They then left the classroom, and Harry noticed that the almost headless Nick was still holding the transparent reply letter in his hand.

Perhaps I want to repay his "life-saving grace" just now...

“I hope I can do something for you about the Headless Hunters.”

"No need." Nick put the letter back into his jacket casually, "I decided to form my own hunter team. One day, they will regret turning me away."

 Speaking of this, the curious scene of Nick shaking his head once again appeared in Harry's mind.

 He quickly slapped his face, forcing himself to forget those "dirty things", and then said with a dry smile:

 “Then… I wish you success.”

 “Thank you, but I have a request.”

 “What…” Harry asked.

“Although this may be too much to ask...can you come to my death anniversary party?”

Nearly headless Nick said with some anticipation: "Just before Halloween, I will announce the formation of my own hunter team in front of all my friends. I will be honored if you can come."

"I'll come." Harry agreed readily. "Can I bring someone else with me?"

"If you're talking about Mr. Weasley and Miss Granger... of course, they're the most popular too."

 He looked at Kyle again.

 “I’m sorry, Lord Porpington.”

Kyle said regretfully: "Although I really want to witness the birth of a great hunter team, I have promised Cedric to watch the Skeleton Dance Troupe's performance with him, so..."

"Oh, of course..." Nearly Headless Nick said with a smile: "I mean, if you promise someone else first, you must keep your promise. I said it too late.

But did Dumbledore really invite the Skeleton Dance Troupe? "

“Professor McGonagall said this accidentally a few days ago, it should be fine,” Kyle said.

 “Oh...why is it this year!”

The almost headless Nick tugged on his hat, "I have liked their performances since two hundred years ago...and I heard from the Howling Baron that they have recently choreographed new dance moves, which are very exciting.

  Why is it this year! "

The almost headless Nick spun around in mid-air a few times, "You think, if I invite the skeleton dance troupe to come to my death anniversary party after the performance, will they agree?"

 “Probably... yes.” Kyle said uncertainly.

Although there is no essential difference between skeletons and ghosts, they are two species after all...it is hard to say whether they will be interested in the ghost thing.

 “It would be nice if I could agree.”

Nearly headless Nick looked out the window longingly and murmured to himself: "The Skeleton Dance Troupe and Harry Potter will come to my death anniversary party together. That would be great!"

 After leaving this corridor, there are stairs not far ahead.

Kyle and Harry were going back to their respective common rooms, and Nick was going to find Peeves... and they separated.

 …

By the time Kyle returned to the common room, it was almost time for curfew.

However, there are still many students sitting in the common room who are doing homework. This can be regarded as a Hufflepuff tradition.

Kyle found Cedric and Connor near the window.

“Death anniversary party?” Cedric said happily: “Fortunately you didn’t agree. I dare say that kind of scene is not suitable for living people.”

 “Have you participated?” Connor asked.

"No." Cedric shook his head, "But when I went to the kitchen before, I saw a house elf moving some freshly prepared food outside the kitchen.

He also said that these were prepared for the ghost party, and they need to be kept for a long time until they completely rot or grow mold. "

“The house elves probably wouldn’t allow that kind of thing in the kitchen,” Connor said in a low voice.

 She has been to the kitchen many times and it is always clean and the food is always the freshest.

"Yeah, so they took those things outside." Cedric shrugged.

“Just think about it, having to deal with a bunch of moldy and rotten food at Halloween dinner is not a fun experience.”

"So I refused." Kyle said, "But looking at Potter, he seems to be quite interested."

"Harry Potter..." Cedric smacked his lips, "No wonder he can defeat the mysterious man, it's just that unlike us, normal people shouldn't want to attend the ghost party.

 Should we remind him? "

"It's useless, Potter has already agreed." Kyle said: "He didn't even hesitate for a second."

"Then there's no way…"

It was still pouring rain outside the window, and the sky was as dark as ink, but the house was bright and cheerful.

While others were doing homework and playing wizard chess, Kyle told Cedric and Connor about his wonderful experience in front of the library.

This made them forget all about the ghost very quickly.

“You suddenly became smarter when you were passing by the library?” Cedric opened his mouth in surprise, feeling like he could fit a whole potato into it.

"How can this be!"

He has walked the road in front of the library countless times. If this is the case, why has he never encountered it once?

Kanna didn’t really believe it either.

 This kind of thing...Professor Snape had never mentioned it to her.

Moreover, if you can become smart just by walking in front of the library, then why bother taking classes? Everyone can just go there and queue up every day.

"I find it incredible too." Kyle whispered: "But I really met him, I didn't lie to you."

"Is it possible that you have been too tired recently and are hallucinating." Cedric still couldn't believe this.

“It may be something you didn’t understand before, but you suddenly figured it out.”

Kangna glanced at Kyle and said thoughtfully: "I have been like this before. I have never been able to brew the perfect life and death water. But one time when I picked up the crucible, I suddenly knew where I was wrong, and then I brewed it smoothly. The perfect water of life and death came out.”

  She felt that Kyle should be the same as she was back then.

"Maybe..." After the two people said this, Kyle became a little unconfident.

 He decided to try again at the entrance of the library in the next few days. If it still didn't work... then there was nothing he could do.
