Chapter 50: The Halloween Dinner

"Someone stole our food!"

On his way out of class, William is stopped by the ghost of Gryffindor, 'Nick who almost lost his head'.

"I don't think normal people steal your so-called 'food'." William shook his head.

That's not food, it's almost soaked into swill, who will steal that thing!

Even...... William didn't even want to go to Myrtle's bathroom, and if he walked around, he could get a suffocating stench that couldn't be washed off.

"But there was a lot less food, the rotten belly from the tap, and the food in the sink was still on the floor.

The most important thing is that the maggots in the bathroom are gone, and they must have been eaten by someone. Nick, who was almost headless, swore by it.

"Could it be that ...... 'butterfly' flew away?"

"Of course not! I only went to count it at noon, and someone must have stolen the food. Nick said angrily.

"Could it be Peeves?"

"It's not him, I promised Peeves to attend my death party, and he won't make trouble."

"Since you've checked at noon, it should have happened in the afternoon to now."

William held his chin and analyzed it carefully.

It was a strange thing that the thief threw the food in the pool on the floor, took away the most disgusting rotten belly, and cleaned the latrine of maggots......

There was something about the thief, and even William couldn't guess what he was thinking.

It couldn't be Dumbledore's doing, could it? As a surprise for the Halloween party!

Or was it collected by Snape as material for some unpopular potion......

"Isn't there less food? Does it have much of an impact? William asked again.

"Of course it has an impact, 108 dishes, this is the standard for royal state banquets...... If the quantity is small, I will be very shameless, especially if there are no maggots, and everyone will think that the food is fresh. ”

"Don't talk about it......" William forced himself to endure the nausea and emptied his brain with Occlumency, otherwise the image would haunt his head.

William and Nick discuss for a while, and Nick decides to ask Hagrid for some caterpillars to fill the scene.

This has the same meaning as the leader inspecting and painting the white wall.

"William, come to my death party, this is my five hundredth birthday, if you can attend, I will be honored." Nick, who was almost headless, invited.

William bet that he said this to countless people.

Casting nets widely, with a focus on fishing...... Being able to deceive one is one, an old routine.

"But I'm going to the house's Halloween party in the evening, and Anne says Dumbledore has hired the Red Skull Dance Company.

And maybe the Father's Alliance. ”

"What's so nice about a pile of ribs?" Nick said dismissively.

"Hey, Cedric, will you attend? Myrtle goes around telling people that you're her male partner! Nick suddenly shouted.

It turned out that not far from the corridor, Cedric and Cho were walking towards here together.

"Myrtle's male companion, really?" Autumn looked meaningfully at Cedric.

"Nothing!" Cedric said angrily. "I don't know who gave Myrtle the idea to find me as a male companion and pester me every night.

Myrtle also told me that Ollivander's grandfather was coming...... His grandfather didn't become a ghost at all, and he tried to lie to me.

It must have been an acquaintance's idea, otherwise she wouldn't have mentioned Mr. Ollivanders! ”

William scratched his hair, coughed unnaturally, and said, "Cedric, maybe the Gryffindor students came up with an idea, they generally like to do this kind of thing. ”

Cedric nodded, and sure enough, he suspected the twins.

Nick was a little disappointed to hear that Cedric wasn't going, and he looked at Cho again.

Autumn hurriedly changed the subject, "William, Professor Trelawney has made a prediction to you again this class, and she said that if you don't go to her class again, something will happen this semester." ”

"......" Is this a threat?

A few people walk into the auditorium and meet Harry and Hermione, who are looking for something.

"Hey Harry, don't forget seven o'clock in the evening, in the basement classroom." Nick, who was almost headless, instructed.

When Nick was gone, Harry sighed and said, "I've forgotten about the death party." ”

It turns out that Harry is the only big fool who has been fooled by Nick.

"Can I not go, just say I have a stomachache." Harry said.

He regretted agreeing to Nick.

The thought of going to the cold basement to spend the night with a group of ghosts at a Halloween party made me feel uncomfortable.

Is it because the food made by the house-elves is not good, or is Dumbledore's joke not cold enough?

The most important thing is that he can see Autumn in the auditorium from time to time, which is the happiest thing.

"Harry, since you promised, keep your promise." Hermione reminded.

"It's light, you don't have to go." Harry muttered.

"We didn't say yes!" Hermione took William's arm, "Isn't it?" ”

William nodded and asked, "What were you just looking for?" ”

"Find Ron." Harry said worriedly, "He said to go to the bathroom, it's been almost an hour, I'm afraid he'll fall inside." ”

Harry thought it would be a good idea to drag Ron to the party.

"You don't have to look for Ron."

At this time, the twins came from a distance.

"We just saw him captured by Filch, and Ron was drenched like he had fallen into the Black Lake." Fred said.

"Didn't Weasley go to the bathroom? Why did it fall in the Black Lagoon? Qiu said suspiciously.

Several people couldn't figure out their sister, could it be that Ron was solving the problem in the reeds by the Black Lake?

Now that Ron had been taken away by Filch, Harry had to go to the death party alone.

William and the others happily walked towards the auditorium.

Hagrid's large pumpkin hung in the air, like a box.

Apparently, Hagrid secretly cast an expansion spell on the pumpkins to create such a large size.

Anne, wearing a hat carved from a small pumpkin, poked her head out of the mouth of the large pumpkin and waved her hand.

"Brother, hurry up!"

Luna and Ginny poked their heads out together, both wearing the same melon-skin hats as Annie.

Three sisters of Guapi!

"So, we're going to spend our Halloween party this year on pumpkins?" George whistled.

"It's really interesting!" Fred said happily.

He prepares to let out his sniff and dig a hole under the Slytherin student's pumpkin.

Cedric looked around, looking for a smaller pumpkin...... The kind that can only accommodate two people!

Well, Hagrid apparently hadn't thought about that for Cedric.

Farewell, his double room dream!

As the night rolls on, the Halloween dinner at Hogwarts officially begins.

Dumbledore led a group of teachers and got into the biggest pumpkin, and the other students also went in groups of three or five to find a pumpkin to enter.

As Dumbledore announced the start of the feast, a tattered pirate ghost ship emerged from the castle walls.

Suddenly, Professor Kettleburn throws out the salamander.

The salamander whizzed into the air, spun wildly in the auditorium, crackling and releasing sparks, accompanied by some bangs, and the salamander's mouth spewed orange-red stars, which was very beautiful and spectacular.

Hermione peeled off the orange flesh and put one piece into her mouth, and the other into William's mouth.

She tilted her face and chuckled softly, "So Halloween dinner is so much fun. ”

William smiled.

The year before, Professor Snape had been captured by the Ministry of Magic; Last year, trolls invaded Hogwarts......

Therefore, this kind of bland dinner party is the campus life that William is looking forward to.

William bites into the orange flesh...... I don't know where the house elves bought the oranges.

It's so sweet!

Hermione looked at William in a daze, and she suddenly reached out and gently stroked the tip of the boy's smiling brow.

It's so pretty!
