From Karma Taj to Hogwarts

Time quickly came to the second night.

October 10st is Halloween, and this is also the third Halloween that Sivan has spent at Hogwarts.

The interior of the auditorium still had the same furnishings as before, with swarms of bats flying on the walls and ceiling; there were also clusters of low dark clouds hovering above the dining tables, adding a depressing atmosphere to the auditorium.

The auditorium was surrounded by huge pumpkins, the largest of which was as high as half a floor. There is a bright candle in the belly of the hollowed pumpkin, and the candle flames flicker with the dark clouds above the dining table.

However, it was a pity for Xiwen that the very good skeleton band that had been invited to the first grade Halloween dinner did not come, and they had not even come since the first grade dinner. Maybe that year was Principal Dippet's 300th birthday and he was willing to spend money for once?

On Halloween in previous years, the ghosts would gather in the ghost conference room to celebrate this holiday that has special meaning to ghosts.

Finally, the ghosts passed through the ceiling of the ghost hall in groups, went straight to the auditorium, and got under the dining tables of the little wizards, giving them a different kind of exciting experience.

In the current ghost conference hall, or the ghost canteen that has been transformed by ghost Xiwen, the almost headless Nick and the fat monk are counting the number of ghosts.

"Hey, why do I feel like there are so few people this year?" Nicholas said doubtfully. "Have they all gone back to their hometowns to visit their recently deceased descendants?"

"It shouldn't be. There are not many ghosts in Hogwarts who have relatives and friends. Even if they do have friends, most of them are made in the castle." The fat monk also frowned and replied. "I didn't notice it before, but after counting people this time, I feel like I haven't seen many faces in a long time."

"I'm not sure either." Nicholas shook his head.

Ghost Sivan is now a member of the "ghost" group at Hogwarts, and is naturally also in the hall of the ghost conference room. He had just finished a leisurely dance with Helena amid some harsh music.

"What happened?" Seeing the sad faces of the fat monk and Nicholas, Xiven pulled Helena over, who was just about to take a rest, and asked.

"Mr. Strange, I wonder if you have seen these ghosts who have not come recently. It seems that we have not encountered them for a long time." The fat monk motioned to a house elf next to him and asked him to hand over A note came over, recording the number of ghosts absent from this Halloween.

This house elf is specifically used to facilitate ghosts, preventing them from doing things like recording because they cannot touch the physical body.

Xiwen waved gently, letting the note in the house elf's hand float over, and looked down at it a few times.

"So, it seems that I haven't recognized the ghosts of Hogwarts yet." After seeing this note, he shook his head helplessly and said to Nicholas and the fat monk. "But some of the people I remember have not encountered them recently. What do you think, Helena?"

Helena took Xiwen's arm, rested her chin on his shoulder, and looked at the note.

"It sounds like I haven't seen them for a long time." She said softly.

Seeing that neither Xiwen nor Helena had seen the absent ghosts recently, the fat monk became a little worried and said, "Is there something wrong with them?"

"What are you worried about, monk?" Nicholas said carelessly. "We are ghosts, can we encounter any dangers?"

"That's true." The fat monk nodded and his face became better.

However, after hearing what Nicholas said, the expressions of Xiwen and Helena changed at the same time.

"Wait a minute, the ghost may really be in danger!" Xiwen looked at Helena with a solemn expression and said. "That god of death has the ability to affect ghosts!"

"Death? What is it? Have you two read too many fairy tales?" Nicholas asked in surprise. "This is not like your style. You two are the smartest among us. How can you believe in those myths and legends?"

Helena shook her head slightly and ignored his words. Instead, she looked at the two of them seriously and asked, "Have those absent ghosts left Hogwarts Castle recently?"

Nicholas wanted to ask about something else, but the fat monk reacted first and blurted out: "That's true. These absentees have all left Hogwarts Castle!"

"Then they may have encountered the God of Death or his men." Helena said somewhat seriously.

"Wait a minute, what exactly is the God of Death you are talking about? Does the legendary God of Death really exist?" At this time, Nicholas also felt the depressed emotions through the expressions of Xiwen and others, and frowned and asked.

"Yes, the God of Death really exists." Xiwen nodded and said to him. "I just encountered a projection of Death yesterday morning, when he was trying to control Barrow's spirit. Judging from the way he controlled Barrow, he has the ability to affect ghosts!"

"At that time, Helena and I fought with the projection and finally saved Barrow."

The fat monk and Nicholas both became serious.

"In that case, let me ask Barrow about the specific situation yesterday."

Nicholas gave an explanation to several people present, and then floated straight in the other direction.

Sivan watched Nicholas leave the ghost hall and asked the fat monk in surprise: "Has Barrow come back?"

"Yes, don't you know?" the fat monk nodded. "He came back last night."

"Maybe it's a blessing in disguise. After Barrow came back this time, he was not as autistic as before. Instead, he chatted with us for a long time. We even went to watch the duel match of the little wizards yesterday!"

"Speaking of duels, I have to say that the young man from the Rozier family is really good." The fat monk patted his bulging belly and said with a sigh.

"Haha, is that so?" Xiwen laughed awkwardly.

He didn't expect that he would be mentioned in this way in the ghost's territory.

Xiwen looked back at Helena and found that she was indeed looking at him with a teasing expression, and couldn't help but reach out and cover her face...

The fat monk did not notice Xiwen's embarrassment, but continued to chat happily with the two of them. He did not stop until he saw Nicholas floating over with Bloody Barro.

When Barrow saw Xiwen and Helena showing intimacy, his expression froze for a moment, then immediately returned to his natural state, and even nodded to Xiwen.

Xiwen looked at the bloody Barrow in surprise, who suddenly seemed to have changed. He frowned in confusion, but still maintained his polite manner and nodded slightly to him.

"Brother, Barrow will also join us for the final show of the Halloween dinner this time." Nicholas said excitedly. "I can't wait to see the performance of those little wizards. Bloody Barrow is covered in blood, a scary ghost that is rarely seen. I'm really looking forward to it!"

"Oh? It seems that Barrow has really looked away now." The fat monk looked at Barrow with relief and said. "As long as you promise not to be as unreasonable as before, you might be able to turn your differences into friendship with Mr. Strange."

Barrow's expression changed, but in the end he still smiled stiffly at Xiwen.

Xiwen nodded slightly towards him in response.

Then he quietly turned his head and asked Helena softly: "Helena, do you think Barrow is a little unusual today?"

"I also feel a little bit, this is not quite like Barrow's style." Helena also frowned her beautiful eyebrows and replied softly.

"Forget it, for the sake of the monk and Nick, let's not trouble him for now." Xiwen shook his head slightly and said. "Perhaps he has really reformed?"

……

Xiwen and others did not have time to continue discussing the issue of the disappearance of ghosts and the abnormality in Barrow, because the last part of the Halloween dinner was soon coming - the appearance of the ghosts of Hogwarts!

Nearly headless Nick was most interested in this program. As soon as he entered the auditorium, he suddenly emerged from under the Gryffindor table, then smiled evilly at the little wizard there, and stretched out his hand to tug Lost his head.

The first-year Gryffindor wizards screamed in fright, and Nicholas, who was full of bad humor, laughed.

Xiwen and Helena stood hand in hand in the corner of the auditorium, their mouths twitching when they saw his behavior, so they turned their heads with expressions of "I don't know him."

Xiven, who couldn't watch anymore, turned to look at the Slytherin table, wanting to see how the changed Barrow would scare people.

However, after searching around the Slytherin table, he did not find Barrow.

"Where are the Barrow people?" Xiwen asked doubtfully.

"Xi Wen, look over there, why did Barrow go to the Gryffindor table?" Helena pointed to the left side of the auditorium and asked in confusion. "It seems that's not his range of activities."
