Journey through the heavens from Hogwarts

Chapter 46 Attending the Death Anniversary Party

Later, while chatting with Headless Nick, Harry learned that Nick was sulking because Sir Patrick Podmore rejected him as ineligible to join the Headless Hunters.

"There's only a little bit of skin and tendons connected to my neck, Harry! Most people would think that this is actually the same as losing his head. But no, in the eyes of Lord Podmore, who has completely lost his head, this not enough."

Nick, who was almost headless, took a few deep breaths, and then said in a much calmer tone: "So - what are you worried about? Can I help?"

"No," Harry said with some disappointment, "Unless you know where we can get seven free Nimbus 2001s, so we can fight Sly in the competition -"

"Meow--" A sharp, piercing cry suddenly came from near Harry's ankle, drowning out his words.He looked down and saw two yellow eyes that shone like lamps.It was Lady Norris, the scrawny gray cat who was used by the caretaker Argus Filch as his second-in-command in his endless battles with the students.

"You'd better get out of here, Harry," Nick said quickly. "Filch is in a bad mood. He has a cold, and a few third-year students accidentally smeared frog brains on the ceiling of the fifth basement. . He has been rinsing all morning. If he sees you dripping muddy water everywhere..."

"Oh, you're right, I think I should go." Harry said, backing away from Mrs. Norris's accusing gaze, but it was too late.There must be some mysterious force connecting Filch and his annoying cat.

He suddenly rushed from behind a tapestry to Harry's right, gasping for air and looking around frantically, looking for anyone who had broken the school rules.He had a thick plaid scarf tied around his head and his nose was unusually red.

Harry felt quite bad about his luck at this time. Before he could start running away, he heard Filch's voice coming in a hurry.

"Dirt!" he yelled angrily, pointing at the mud and dirty water dripping from Harry's Quidditch robe, his eyes bulging horribly, and the flesh on his double chin trembled, "It's everywhere. Dirty stuff, a mess everywhere! Let me tell you, I've had enough! Potter, come with me!"

Harry waved goodbye sadly to the nearly headless Nick and followed Filch down the stairs to his office.

Harry had never been in Filch's office before, but most students shunned the place.

The room was dark and dirty, with no windows and only a lone oil lamp hanging from the low ceiling.There was a faint smell of fried fish in the air.Many wooden filing cabinets lined the surrounding walls; from the labels, Harry knew that the cabinets contained detailed information on every student Filch had punished.

Fred and George took up an entire drawer.On the wall behind his desk hung a set of shiny hinges, handcuffs, and shackles.

Everyone knows that Filch often asked Dumbledore for permission to hang students by their ankles and hang them upside down from the ceiling.It's just that Dumbledore never allowed Filch to do this. He thought it was too cruel to the young wizards and refused to use such a severe punishment.

Harry luckily escaped, and with the help of Headless Nick and Peeves, he seemed to have discovered a secret about Filch - the Quick Spell Class.

To this end, Harry also promised Headless Nick to attend his 500th anniversary party.

"A death anniversary party?" Hermione said cheerfully. "I bet there aren't many people alive who can say they've been to such a party - it must have been amazing!"

"By the way, we can call one more person."

By this time Harry had finally changed and found her and Ron in the common room.

Ron shouted, "Yes, we can call Lin Xiao. I haven't seen him much recently." At this time, he was struggling to complete his homework in Potions class.

"Hermione, what about you?"

The little witch said depressedly, "Forget it. Recently, as soon as he finished class, he went to see Professor Flitwick to discuss the problem."

"What's the problem?" Harry asked confused.

"I don't know, he didn't tell me, but he seemed to have said something like waiting for the experiment to succeed." Hermione said a little angrily.

Ron also brought the topic back to the death anniversary party at this time, "Maybe we can ask him later... By the way, are we really going to some death anniversary party?"

"Why do I feel so unlucky..."

It was still raining heavily outside the window, and the sky was as dark as ink, but the house was bright and cheerful.The firelight illuminated countless soft armchairs, where people sat reading, chatting, and doing homework.

Twin brothers Fred and George Weasley were studying what would happen if they fed a salamander some hard-drawn fireworks.Fred placed the bright orange-red lizard "rescued" from a Care of Magical Creatures class on the table, where it was burning sullenly, surrounded by a crowd of curious people.

After a while, its fate could be imagined. After being experimented by Fred and George, it quickly escaped into the fire with a series of explosions, for fear of encountering these two demons again.

Percy on the side saw his brothers conducting some boring experiments again, and scolded the two culprits Fred and George in a hoarse voice. However, looking at the expressions of the two brothers, it was clear that they had nothing to do with it. Hearing this, Percy was so angry that he wanted to spit on their faces.

On Halloween, Harry really regretted that he should not have agreed so hastily to attend the death anniversary party.

Other students in the school were happily attending the Halloween party, and the auditorium was decorated with live bats as usual.The huge pumpkins Hagrid planted were carved into lanterns, big enough for three people to sit in them.People also rumored that Dumbledore had booked a skeleton dance troupe to entertain everyone.

"Once you've said it, it's hard to keep it back." Hermione reminded Harry arrogantly, "You said you were going to attend the death anniversary party."

"You can't break your date Harry, what do you think?" After saying this, the little witch looked at Lin Xiao and Ron next to her.

Ron replied, "Hermione is right, Harry, it's just the four of us going to the death anniversary party?"

Lin Xiao, who followed over, said with a smile, "I originally wanted to invite Terry and Anthony to come over to have a fun time. As soon as I said I was attending a death anniversary party, they refused. They said they would rather see Principal Dumbledore invite them over. I dance with skeletons and don’t go to any death anniversary parties.”

Lin Xiao was not surprised by this. If they came, he should consider whether there was something wrong with the Sorting Hat!

And the reason why he came here was to establish a good relationship with Harry and plan the invisibility cloak. After all, it was an ancestral treasure of their family.

He felt that the Three Hallows of Death in the wizarding world were not as simple as described in the original work. Even if he guessed wrong, the laws of fate permeating those things would still be unmistakable.

You must know that these three items are owned by Grindelwald, Dumbledore, Voldemort, and Harry Potter respectively.

Lin Xiao didn't believe that Harry would give his father's only relic, the Invisibility Cloak, to someone he didn't know at all.

As for the other two, just make a deal with Dumbledore.

"Oh...if it were me, I would refuse, because just hearing the name is scary." Ron interrupted, "If Harry hadn't forced me to come over, I might still be doing it in the lounge. It’s homework.”
