Hogwarts, this professor is too stable.

Chapter 59 The Eve of Halloween

Moqil hummed a little tune and left Hufflepuff's underground building contentedly.

He did not take away the blood pact bracelet himself, but left it with Tonks. The bracelet would send a warning before it sensed that one party wanted to betray the covenant, and if it violated the covenant forcefully, it would be forcibly stopped by magic.

Walking slowly in the corridor with the smell of roasted pumpkin, I felt happy.

Maybe there are too many things to do after graduation - applying for professors, welcoming new students, designing Quirrell, applying for funds, applying for laboratories, writing papers, the Werewolf of the Dark Lord...

When he smelled the sweet smell of roasted pumpkin, Mochir suddenly realized that today was already Halloween.

Time is such a thing that catches people off guard. The grand graduation ceremony in the auditorium seemed to have just happened yesterday.

But in fact, Moqil suddenly realized at this time that the new students he welcomed had already been in Hogwarts Castle for two full months. For those children, the castle was becoming more and more beautiful day by day. Like home.

Moqil muttered, "Hufflepuff students are really happy. They can smell the fragrance of those foods and fall asleep every day. I would say this is much better than the dreamless sleep potion." The person who greeted him on the way The students also responded one by one.

However, his way to class was blocked by Professor Flitwick.

"Mochir, do you have time to decorate the castle with me tonight?"

Mochir thought for a while and refused: "Professor Flitwick, I have something else to do tonight. Several of my students invited me to attend the costume party tonight. You know, if you don't attend the party tonight, and It's another activity that requires the presence of a professor. Those children come from Muggle families. They seem to prefer the Muggle way of celebrating the holidays and are planning a costume party."

More than 11 years ago, European Christians designated November 1 as “All Hallows’ Day” (All Hallows’ Day). "Hallow" means saint. Legend has it that since 10 BC, the Celts living in Ireland, Scotland and other places moved this festival forward by one day, namely October 31st. They believe that this day is the official end of summer, the beginning of the new year and the beginning of the harsh winter.

At that time, people believed that the souls of their deceased friends would return to their former homes on this day to look for souls in the living, so that they could be reborn. This was the only hope for rebirth after death. The living people are afraid of the souls of the dead coming to take their lives, so people put out the fires and candlelight on this day so that the souls of the dead cannot find the living people. They also dress up as monsters and monsters to scare away the souls of the dead. After that, they will rekindle the fire and candlelight and start their life in the new year.

Students from Muggle families are very happy. They have three semesters a year. The first semester is from September to December and ends after Christmas. There is also a holiday during King's Day. The second semester is from January to March and ends after Christmas. The Easter holiday is over, and the third semester from April to June is what everyone often calls summer vacation.

However, Hogwarts is a fully boarding closed school. The only regular holidays here are the usual weekends (third graders and above can go to Hogsmeade during the day, but must return to the castle at night), Christmas (a relatively large holiday) During the long vacation, which lasts for several days, students can go back and forth by train, which is equivalent to winter vacation) and summer vacation (from the end of June to September 1, all students go home except for a small number of students who apply to stay in school)

Although Halloween is also a very important holiday at Hogwarts, there is only one special dinner, which is not considered a "holiday". This is a banquet held at the strong request of the school ghosts.

It makes sense that Hogwarts does not take Halloween seriously. After all, in the magical world, the so-called monsters, werewolves, vampires, nightmares, water monsters, and witches... all exist for real. As long as wizards are willing, they can even Grab a bunch of real guys and open a themed exhibition hall.

But Halloween is one of the most popular holidays in the Muggle world. Every Halloween, every household will buy pumpkins. These pumpkins are carved into spooky faces, and then candles are placed inside to become "jack o' lanterns."

Children will wear all kinds of weird costumes, carry jack-o-lanterns, knock on other people's doors, and shout "trick or treat" in exchange for other people's gifts.

And when the children who asked for candy grew up, this custom turned into a passionate cosplay party for young men and women...

Some people like this tune.

Mochir knew this tradition of Hogwarts when he was in school - earlier, Muggle-born wizards rarely attended the school dinner on this night, and the senior students would organize Muggles on this day. Students from Gua family came together for a "team building", a ghost-themed costume party.

The early initiators of the event obviously felt that this kind of event could make wizards who were born as Muggles and entered the wizarding world with nothing to unite and help each other.

But now, the nature of this party has changed. After all, we must unite all forces that can be united and mobilize all positive factors that can be mobilized. It is also necessary to figure out who is our enemy and who is our friend.

Young wizards from Muggle families just hate those guys who think they are extraordinary and even call them "Mudbloods" in a very rude manner. Others, even pure-blood family wizards who are friendly to them, are happy to accept them.

However, it is difficult to tell clearly what the purpose of the leader who made the change at the beginning was. After all, there were many messages in the school. The Ravenclaw wanted to take advantage of the costume party to get to know a Gryffindor half-blood witch before relaxing the party. Member's identity.

There is a banquet in the evening, and Moqier really wants to go back to his dormitory to write his thesis now.

But because he didn't prepare any lessons on Wednesday, he now has to go to class by himself.

On Wednesday, he had already put the alchemy doll back into the maintenance warehouse for maintenance.

When the Professor of Muggle Studies approached his classroom, there was already a "class representative" who had collected the homework from the previous class and placed it on the desk. Mochir briefly browsed it and found that it was still thick enough. Cedric Dee Mr. Gorey should be very different from the fifty-one he said.

With a wave of his hand, the homework clattered, and some of it flew out and landed on the students' desks.

This is an alternative way of naming names.

"So, Mr. Diggory, could you share your insights with us?"

"Of course, Professor." The handsome young man sitting in the front row stood up. "Lambs are the only animals that remain silent when being killed. They represent suffering, sacrifice, and atonement. In Muggle legends, Jesus is the son of God. It is also the 'Lamb' of God. In a sense, it also represents Starling's sacrificed police chief father or herself in the movie. The screams of the lamb in Starling's dream imply that she loves her father and does not want to lose him. He then questioned whether this silent sacrifice was worth it. On the one hand, she embarked on a similar path to her father and became an FBI agent. On the other hand, this path also caused her to lose her father, and now she is also facing To capture Bill, there is inner conflict, and the scream of the lamb in the dream is the manifestation of the conflict, and the process of capturing Bill/the dialogue with Hannibal are all seeking to resolve this conflict."

Mochir nodded and praised: "The Muggle litterateur William Shakespeare said 'There are athousandHamletsinathousandpeople'seyes'. It is obvious that Mr. Diggory has worked hard on the Muggle Studies course and has his own thoughts. , Hufflepuff adds 5 points."

"The following is just my personal opinion. You can refer to it: the lambs represent the helpless and numb lower class people. If one sheep is killed, the other lambs will only scream in terror. When people open the door of the sheepfold , but the lambs are used to being enslaved, and no one dares to run out. The little lamb is the epitome of Clarice when she lost her parents and became an orphan, full of helplessness and inferiority. Even after she grows up, she still feels like this deep inside. His seemingly confident appearance could not hide his inner fragility. In the end, through hard training and work, he broke through the original class and truly grew up inside."

Muggle directors will inject their own ideas into every movie. Even a big production like Shanghai Fortress can convey to people the spirit of fearless sacrifice and risk of "shoot at me".

But anyone can reinterpret the movie in their own way. Just like Harry Potter, everyone has a unique magical world in their heart.
