Hogwarts Scholar System

"What are you talking about?" On Halloween day, most people's faces were filled with festive joy, but Harry's face showed a sad expression. Maple came over and asked curiously.

"At the death anniversary party, Nick helped Harry get rid of a punishment from Filch, so Harry agreed to attend Nick's 500th anniversary of his death, which is today." Hermione spoke for Harry, the expression on her face looked very interested. , but Harry next to him had a depressed look on his face. He regretted that he should not have agreed so hastily to attend the death anniversary party. Ron, who had to go with Harry, had a gloomy face that could drip with water.

"You guys should go too, it just so happens that we can go there together!" Maple said happily.

"It would be great if you wanted to go too," Hermione said happily.

At seven o'clock they passed together through the doorway, which led to the auditorium, decorated with lights and candlelight, where Halloween was being celebrated.Harry and Ron glanced at the other side of the auditorium with nostalgia, and then had to follow Maple and Hermione in the opposite direction, farther and farther away from the lively auditorium, towards the deserted underground classroom.

The aisle leading to the gathering place of ghosts is also covered with various decorations.Perhaps due to the influence of Maple and the Weasley brothers, there are blue jack-o-lanterns suspended in these aisles, and the eerie and weak will-o'-wisps are gently swaying in the jack-o'-lanterns.

In the slightly dim light and oppressive silence, the atmosphere of this aisle is obviously more in line with the original intention of Halloween.While Hermione was looking at everything around her with interest, Harry and Ron were breathing heavily from time to time, a bit ashamed of their status as wizards.Looking at their appearance, one really wonders whether they are the pair of young heroes who bravely broke into the Sorcerer's Stone Mechanism last year.

The closer they got to where the ghosts were, the more the temperature dropped. Coupled with the gloomy atmosphere around them, Harry and Ron's little faces became paler and paler.

Harry and Ron shivered and pulled their clothes tighter around themselves.Maple shook her head, then took out her wand and cast a silent warming charm in the direction of Harry and Harry.Although there are only two group targets, the technique of group spell plus silent spell is still quite difficult.

"Hey, why is it not cold all of a sudden?" Harry and Ron suddenly felt warmer and couldn't help but asked in surprise.

"That's because Maple cast a warming charm on you! I think you should spend less time playing and spend more time on studying, otherwise you will feel like Muggles when you stay with Maple in the future. !" Hermione told them the answer, not forgetting to criticize them.

Finally, they turned the last corner and saw an almost headless Nick standing in a doorway with a black velvet curtain draped around him.

"My dear friends," he said with infinite sorrow, "welcome, welcome, I am so glad that you can come!"

He took off his feathered hat, bowed and invited them in.

The sight in front of me is incredible——

The underground classroom was crowded with hundreds of milky-white, translucent figures, most of them wandering around the overcrowded dance floor, waltzing and playing music to the terrifying and trembling sounds of thirty musical saws. Saw's band was sitting on the stage covered in black cloth.A chandelier overhead glowed with five hundred will-o'-the-wisp flames, representing the 500th anniversary of Nick's death.Although they are also eerie in color, these flames are hundreds of times brighter than the will-o'-the-wisps in the corridor.

The breaths of the four of them formed clouds of mist in front of them, as if they had walked into a refrigerator.If it weren't for Maple's warming spell, they would definitely not be able to bear it.

What Harry and Ron didn't know was that Maple was still a guy of the opposite sex and inhumane. From the beginning, he used a silent spell to secretly cast a warming spell on himself and Hermione, and after they were cold for a while, Maple just put the warming charm on them.

The three Harrys were surprised to find that after Maple appeared, most of the ghosts floated over to greet him enthusiastically. The ghosts who were not moving at the same place immediately floated forward and greeted him after being whispered into the ears by the ghosts who knew about it. Maple greeted, with an excited eagerness on her face.

The only ghosts who still didn't come to say hello after knowing Maple's situation were Bloody Baron and Moaning Myrtle.

Bloody Barrow is the ghost of Slytherin. He is as skinny as a stick, with straight eyes and silver blood stains on his body. Not only the students are afraid of him, but even the ghosts seem to be afraid of him. Other ghosts are around him to make room for him. Make a large empty space.

"Oh, no!" Hermione suddenly stopped, "Turn around, turn around, I don't want to talk to Moaning Myrtle!"

"Who is Moaning Myrtle?" Seeing Hermione's appearance, Harry and Ron couldn't help but wonder who had so much energy to make our Miss Know-It-All look like this.

"She's in the girls' bathroom on the first floor," Hermione said.

"Stay in the bathroom?"

"Yeah. The bathroom breaks down all the time because she keeps throwing tantrums and spilling water everywhere. I try not to go there if I can avoid it. You go to the bathroom and she screams at you. It’s so terrible!”

"What is Maple doing?" Ron said suddenly. Maple took out plates and placed them on a long table made up of several tables in the center of the underground classroom. The table was also covered with black velvet.

"Duoduo, please excuse me!" Maple said to the empty plate after the table was filled with plates.

As soon as he finished speaking, a large single-layer cake appeared on the big tray in the center of the table. On top of the cake stood another gray cake in the shape of a huge tombstone. On the tombstone cake was written - Nicholas Deminsi A Wave of Ping. Sir John Dun died on October 1492, 10.

Meanwhile, the same abundance of food as at the Halloween party immediately appeared on other empty plates.

Ron couldn't help but swallow. When he saw the table full of food, he immediately felt hungry.

Maple immediately took out three more empty plates and handed them to Harry, Ron and Hermione respectively. "This is yours. Just shout to the plate if you want to eat. Don't forget to tell the house elves after you finish eating." Express thankfulness!"

Harry and Ron immediately took the plates happily and thanked Maple: "You are so thoughtful, Maple! It's all ready!"

"House elf?" Hermione asked curiously after taking the plate.

"The people in charge of cooking in the school kitchen are house elves. This is probably the place with the most house elves in the world. There are more than 100 of them! They are the ones who clean the common room and light the fire in the fireplace on weekdays. Responsible," Maple said.

Hermione didn't know much about house elves yet, so she didn't dwell on slave labor or anything like that. She just asked, "How come I've never seen them before?"

"They rarely leave the kitchen during the day and come out to clean at night, and they only start working when no one is around. Because they probably think that the sign of a good house elf is that you don't even know they exist! " Maple said.

Then Maple didn't bother to talk to Hermione. He only saw him placing a few incense candles on the table, and then took out a large stack of prepared yin and yang talismans. The magic power of each talisman was ignited with magic and turned into a This invisible power spreads to every piece of food along the fine smoke of the incense candle.

Neither Harry, Ron nor Hermione saw any change in the food, but there was a huge change in the ghost's eyes. Their eyes became brighter and brighter, and their eager eyes wanted to pounce on the food immediately.

"What kind of magic is this?" Hermione looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so she asked curiously.

"This is the Yin Yang Talisman!" Maple said, explaining the purpose of this magic to them.

"Is there such a magical thing?" Hermione's eyes lit up and she said. Seeing Hermione's interest, Maple dug out some food and let Hermione taste it.

"Hey, there's no smell at all. Is this the power of magic?" Hermione's face became more interested.

"By the way, how did they eat before this magic?" Ron, who was chewing a big chicken drumstick, came forward and asked curiously.

A weird smile appeared on Maple's face. This is what you asked me, don't blame me!

"They can't eat our food, so in order to get some taste of it, they choose rotten food like rotten, maggot-infested haggis, cheese covered in green hair, and smelly "Smoky salmon, the richer the flavor, the more they like it because you can taste more of it as it floats over it."

"Ugh, vomit, vomit!" Ron vomited out all the chicken drumsticks in his mouth, and Harry also spit out the pumpkin juice he had just drank all over the floor. He regretted not closing his ears just now.

"What the hell are you doing!" Hermione also vomited, then said angrily, and gave Maple's waist a hard squeeze.Are all girls self-taught in this kind of thing? Maple thought with a grimace.

At this moment, twelve ghost horses suddenly ran out from the wall of the underground classroom, each with a headless rider on top.All those attending the party applauded warmly.

Twelve ghost horses ran to the center of the dance floor, stopped suddenly, stood upright on their hind legs, and then kicked up their hind hooves to rush forward.Immediately at the front was a large ghost with a bearded head tucked under his arm, blowing a horn.He jumped off his horse and raised his head high in the air so that he could look at everyone from above.He strode towards the almost headless Nick and stuffed his head into his neck carelessly.

Now, because of Maple's help, the almost headless Nick has become a member of the Headless Horsemen. They came here specially to celebrate Nick's 500th death anniversary.

As the Headless Horseman performed, Nick floated to the center of the table and shouted: "Attention, please, I begin to speak! My late Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen, it is with great affection that I Grief——"

No one listened to Nick seriously. All the ghosts stared at the rich food on the table, thinking that Nick should finish his nonsense quickly.

Nick had prepared a speech of unknown length, and he spoke for a long time and didn't seem to be finished yet.The ghosts were impatient to wait, but today was Nick's birthday and they were too embarrassed to interrupt him.

"Nick, catch the ball!" Finally, the Headless Horsemen came up with the idea and threw their heads at Nick. This was their Headless Horseman's exclusive overhead hockey game.Nick subconsciously picked up the ball.Then the other ghosts looked grateful to the Headless Horseman as if they had been granted amnesty, and then immediately jumped towards the food on the table.
