Chapter 61: Blurred Fantasy
Halloween Eve is here.
When students get up early in the morning, they can smell the aroma of roasted pumpkin in the air.
Even the badgers who usually like to have breakfast in the dormitory and toilet are attracted to the auditorium by the rich aroma.
The entire auditorium is decorated with Halloween:
Hundreds of big mouth bats hover on the magical ceiling, and their backs look like a smaller version of Snape.
Hagrid's carriage-sized pumpkins are also hung on the wall, but no one dares to pass under them because they are too big and students are afraid of being hit on the head.
Even the candles have been replaced with pumpkin lanterns, and when students approach, they will laugh "hehe", like a special curse spirit.
The breakfast is even more rich, with Indian pumpkin juice, pumpkin stew, French butter fried garlic pumpkin, onion and leek milk pumpkin, asparagus and corn stuffed pumpkin, ricotta baked pumpkin...
As long as you can think of a cuisine, the side dishes are all replaced with pumpkin. Whether it tastes good or not is another matter, but the creativity is really full.
The whole Hogwarts was filled with a relaxed and happy atmosphere. Even the professors who were usually serious had a rare day of relaxation.
In the Charms class, Professor Flitwick showed everyone how to use magic to carve patterns on pumpkins.
He was an art lover. He carved a picture of Hogwarts' Night Parade of One Hundred Ghosts, and drew all the ghosts in the school. Among them, the beautiful Ms. Grey undoubtedly stood in the most conspicuous position.
Every student was very excited and wanted to create something, but when it was their turn, each one was more abstract than the other.
Ron's broken wand blew the whole pumpkin apart, and the pumpkin seeds were scattered all over the place.
Professor Flitwick was very angry and punished Ron to copy the sentence "I am a wizard, not an orangutan who waves a stick randomly."
In the Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall asked students to turn animals into candies. Since some students crushed the teaching tool to death when using beetles last time, she directly changed it to... cockroaches this time.
No one could crush them to death this time.
Professor McGonagall also patiently helped those students who could not transform to complete the final transformation.
When the get out of class was over, she did not take away the teaching tools and let the little wizards leave directly.
Everyone soon understood the reason. It turned out that Professor Lockhart changed into a female ghost's clothes and stood at the door of the classroom, asking students for Halloween candy.
The little wizard stuffed all the candies that were transformed from cockroaches to Professor Lockhart.
Lockhart happily opened the package and ate five or six candies in a row. When he put the seventh candy into his mouth, the candy finally turned back into a cockroach and burst out of pulp.
Standing in the distance, Shirley, who was watching this scene, couldn't help but stick out her tongue and laughed softly:
"I didn't expect Professor McGonagall to have such an interesting side. I always thought she was very obedient and would not play pranks."
"Shirley, you are too naive." Rolf snorted twice and said directly:
"Students from Gryffindor are all bad, but our Hufflepuffs are different... They are all honest!
Look at me, a typical Hufflepuff good student!"
The ponytail girl smiled and made a playful face and said:
"I'll take note of it. I'll tell Hermione what you think of Gryffindor later."
"Shirley, you're being mean." Rolf's eyes were dull, and he sighed:
"Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw are a family... We have to unite, don't be a little traitor."
"Who says you are a family!" Shirley raised her little fist and waved it, saying angrily: "Stop talking nonsense!"
...
...
Lockhart, who ate a cockroach, was hospitalized again and couldn't attend the dinner. For most wizards, this was good news.
After all, it was said that he was going to perform a show at the dinner on how to subdue a Halloween ghost.
Compared to other teachers, the atmosphere of the potion class was not so strong. Snape never celebrated holidays, including... Valentine's Day.
But this time, he unexpectedly taught students to brew an invisibility potion. After taking it, they could temporarily become invisible for a few minutes to play pranks on others.
After Rolf finished the preparation, Snape also asked him to drink the potion.
After the boy drank it, his figure disappeared. Snape deliberately glanced at the peepscope and found that it was shining and spinning.
Strange, was Scamander really not in the potion classroom that night? !
Snape, who was unwilling to give up, was a little confused.
Rolf sat on the chair with a slight smile on his face. Was he trying to trick him?
Humph, as soon as Professor Snape lifted his robe, Rolf knew what color underwear he was wearing.
It must be black... After all, the professor never washes his hair and underwear.
At lunch time, Dumbledore "accidentally" leaked a piece of news: the famous Skeleton Dance Troupe will come to Hogwarts to perform tonight.
This news set off the Halloween atmosphere to the extreme.
The Skeleton Dance Troupe... As the name suggests, it is a dance troupe composed entirely of skeletons. Thanks to their special body structure, they can perform striptease and pole dancing that will not be censored.
Moreover, this is also the first comeback of the Skeleton Dance Troupe in half a year.
Half a year ago, at the opening ceremony of the British and Irish Quidditch League, the dance troupe's lead dancer threw his head to the audience, but it was taken away by an unleashed crup.
The Ministry of Magic spent two months searching for the lead dancer's skull.
The dance troupe also called on the Ministry of Magic to legislate to punish owners of unleashed cruppies, but this proposal was strongly resisted by dog lovers.
Until the evening, students were still discussing the dance troupe.
Helena appeared in Rolf's box on time.
Luofu looked up and saw that Helena was wearing a very gorgeous long skirt. Although she was still a ghost, her whole person's temperament had completely changed... She was very noble.
"Is it time already?" Luofu closed the book and said, "Then let's go now."
Helena frowned and said, "You're going to attend the death anniversary wearing this?"
"What's wrong?" Luofu asked strangely.
"At least it has to be more formal, this one is too plain!"
"It's okay, I'm a student." Rolf said calmly: "It's perfectly normal to wear Hogwarts uniform to attend the death anniversary."
"Okay." Helena was a little disappointed. She felt that Rolf was very handsome, so he should dress up in a fancy way. It would be best to make the dead Bloody Barro angry to death again.
The two of them were walking in the corridor. Rolf looked at Helena's long dress and asked:
"Helena, how do you ghosts change your clothes?"
He had noticed more than once that the clothes of the ghosts were not all the same.
For example, after the death of Bloody Barro, he was able to get shackles to lock himself... Do ghosts still sell things to each other?
"The ghost is the collection of all the marks left by the dead wizard in the world." Helena explained softly:
"These clothes were all worn by me during my lifetime. As a mark of my past, they can appear when I recall them."
As the witch said this, the clothes she wore turned into another set of robes, which were low-cut. In addition to the large peaks on her chest, there was a scar.
Helena obviously didn't like to show her scars, and even the scar on her chest was only shown to Rove, so she quickly changed back to the long skirt she had just worn.
"Of course, this external change is meaningless, after all, we are dead." Helena said in a sad tone:
"For a thousand years, I have generally remained as I was when I died..."
"Helena, how did it feel when you died?" Rolf asked curiously: "Did the soul leave the body directly and then become a ghost?"
"No, Rolf." Helena was silent for a moment and sighed softly:
"I suddenly appeared in Hogwarts, but I was the only one in the whole castle. I wandered alone for a long time."
The woman's eyes were sad and she said:
"My mother once told me that it's called a trance, a place between life and death..."
