Chapter 293 There Is a Story Here
The Vanishing Cabinet was brought by Dumbledore. Kyle didn't find it too surprising, but the time point more than fifty years ago was more interesting.
As we all know, Professor Dumbledore was awarded the Order of Merlin, First Class, because he defeated Grindelwald in 1945. In the same year, Grindelwald was also imprisoned in Nurmengard Tower.
Dumbledore threw away the disappearing cabinet at that time... Gee, there is a story in this.
Of course, Kyle didn't dare to say anything about the principal's gossip.
After all, Harry's mouth was as good as Hagrid's, so if one day he let something slip, it would be great fun.
"According to you, this cabinet was broken before?" Kyle asked.
"Yes, Peeves often hid in this cupboard to hide from Filch for a while." Nick said, "If it was good, Peeves would have appeared in the same place."
"That's it..."
Kyle nodded. He did find a few cracks in the disappearing cabinet, and those marks were very old and could not have been just thrown out.
"What are you going to do with this disappearing cabinet?"
"Just put it here." Nearly Headless Nick said nonchalantly: "No one comes to this classroom. Peeves will probably take it with him later."
Kyle nodded thoughtfully.
Then they left the classroom, and Harry noticed that the almost headless Nick was still holding the transparent reply letter in his hand.
Maybe he wanted to repay his "life-saving grace" just now...
“I wish I could do something for you about the Headless Hunters.
"No need." Nick casually put the letter back into his jacket, "I decided to form my own hunter team. One day, they will regret shutting me out."
Speaking of this, the curious scene of Nick shaking his head appeared in Harry's mind again.
He quickly patted his face, forcing himself to forget those "dirty things", and then said with a dry smile:
"Then... I wish you success."
"Thank you, but I have a request."
"What..." Harry asked.
"Although this request may be a bit excessive...but can you come to my death anniversary party?"
Nearly headless Nick said with some anticipation: "Just before Halloween, I will announce the formation of my own hunter team in front of all my friends. I will be honored if you can come."
"I'll come." Harry agreed readily, "Can I bring someone else with me?"
"If you're talking about Mr. Weasley and Miss Granger... of course, they're also the most popular."
He looked at Kyle again.
"Sorry, Sir Porpington."
Kyle said regretfully: "Although I really want to witness the birth of a great hunter team, I have promised Cedric to watch the Skeleton Dance Troupe's performance with him, so..."
"Oh, of course..." Nearly Headless Nick said with a smile: "I mean, if you promise someone else first, then you must be the one who keeps your promise the most. I was the one who said it too late.
But did Dumbledore really invite the skeleton dance troupe? "
"This is what Professor McGonagall said accidentally a few days ago, it should be fine." Kyle said.
"Oh...why does it have to be this year!"
Nick, who was almost headless, tugged on his hat, "I have liked their performances since two hundred years ago... and I heard from the Howling Baron that they have recently choreographed new dance moves, which are very exciting.
Why is it this year! "
Nick, who was almost headless, spun around in mid-air a few times, "You think, if I invite the skeleton dance troupe to come to my death anniversary party after the performance, will they agree?"
"Probably... yes." Kyle said uncertainly.
Although there is no essential difference between skeletons and ghosts, they are two species after all... It is difficult to say whether they will be interested in ghosts.
】
"It would be nice if you could agree."
The almost headless Nick looked out the window longingly and murmured to himself: "The Skeleton Dance Troupe and Harry Potter will come to my death anniversary party together. That would be great!"
…
After leaving this corridor, there are stairs not far ahead.
Kyle and Harry wanted to go back to their respective common rooms, and Nick wanted to go find Peeves... and they separated.
…
By the time Kyle returned to the common room, it was almost time for curfew.
However, there are still many students sitting in the common room who are doing homework. This can be regarded as a Hufflepuff tradition.
Kyle found Cedric and Connor near the window.
"Death anniversary party?" Cedric said happily: "Fortunately you didn't agree. I dare say that kind of scene is not suitable for living people."
"Have you participated?" Connor asked.
"No." Cedric shook his head, "But when I went to the kitchen before, I saw a house elf moving some freshly prepared food outside the kitchen.
He also said that they were prepared for the ghost party and needed to be kept for a long time until they completely rotted or grew mold. "
"The house elves probably wouldn't allow that kind of thing in the kitchen," Connor said in a low voice.
She had been to the kitchen many times and it was always clean and the food was always the freshest.
"Yeah, so they took those things outside." Cedric shrugged.
"Just think about it, having to deal with a bunch of moldy and rotten food at Halloween dinner is not a fun experience."
"So I refused." Kyle said, "But Potter seems to be quite interested."
"Harry Potter..." Cedric smacked his lips, "No wonder he can defeat the mysterious man, he is different from us, normal people should not want to attend the ghost party.
Should we remind him?"
"It's useless, Potter has agreed." Kyle said, "He didn't even hesitate for a second."
"Then there is nothing we can do..."
It was still pouring rain outside the window, and the sky was as dark as ink, but the house was bright and cheerful.
While others were doing homework and playing wizard chess, Kyle told Cedric and Connor about his wonderful experience in front of the library.
This made them quickly forget about the ghost.
"You suddenly became smart when you passed the library?" Cedric opened his mouth in surprise, feeling that he could fit a whole potato.
"How is this possible!"
He didn't know how many times he had walked the road in front of the library. If this was true, how could he never encounter it once?
Connor didn't really believe it either.
This kind of thing... Professor Snape never mentioned it to her.
Besides, if you can become smarter by walking in front of the library, then why do you need to go to class? Everyone can just line up there every day.
"I also find it incredible." Kyle whispered, "But I really encountered it, I didn't lie to you."
"Is it possible that you are too tired recently and have hallucinations." Cedric still couldn't believe this kind of thing.
"It may also be that you suddenly figured out the content that you didn't understand before."
Connor glanced at Kyle and said thoughtfully, "I was like this before. I couldn't make the perfect water of life and death, but one time when I picked up the crucible, I suddenly knew where I was wrong, and then I made the perfect water of life and death smoothly."
She felt that Kyle should be the same as she was at that time.
"Maybe..." After being told by the two, Kyle was a little unconfident.
He decided to try again in front of the library in the next few days. If it still doesn't work... then there is nothing he can do.
