Chapter 294 Halloween Party

On Halloween Eve, on the second floor of the castle.

Cedric sat in an empty classroom, covering his face and whispering, "Kyle, I don't think this is useful, let's just forget it."

They have been here for several days, and have not gained anything during this period... It can't be said that they have gained something.

They are famous.

Almost half of the school knows that the top students in the third and fourth grades have been hanging around the library entrance these days, and their behavior is very strange.

Even without knowing who it is, it is said that this is a new learning method, using an ancient magic ritual to transform the knowledge in the library into their own.

This kind of nonsense statement is actually believed by many people... and they believe it firmly.

Recently, more and more people have begun to gather at the entrance of the library and imitate their movements seriously.

Not to mention, they learn quite well, and their movements are so uniform.

Especially in the past two days, the library has almost become a tourist attraction, surrounded by people almost every moment.

But correspondingly, Madam Pince's eyes are getting more and more unfriendly when looking at them.

Because that group of people seriously affected the order of the library, she also tried to drive them away several times, but it was useless...

After all, Madam Pince couldn't stay outside all the time. As long as she left, those people would come back soon.

In this case, she naturally couldn't have a good face for Kyle and Cedric, the two culprits.

Cedric felt that they might not be able to go to the library in a short time.

Kyle also sighed and nodded to agree with him.

The noise here has been a little louder recently. Today, they were even blocked outside by the crowd and couldn't get close to the library.

It's estimated that it won't be long before the professors come to drive people away.

After leaving the classroom, the two lowered their heads, bypassed the crowd and returned to the first floor, ready to attend the Halloween party.

The auditorium has been decorated.

More than a dozen huge pumpkins were carved into lanterns, and the smallest one could accommodate two people sitting inside. If there was another night thestral in front, it would definitely be a pumpkin carriage.

At the entrance of the Great Hall, Kyle also met the Gryffindor trio...

"Do what you say." Hermione was talking to Harry, "You said you would go to the Deathday party, you can't break your promise, otherwise Nick, who is almost headless, will be very disappointed."

"But Hermione, I didn't promise."

Beside him, Ron said with a bitter face: "And Scabbers is gone, I have to go find it."

"Your rat?" Hermione frowned and said, "Didn't you always keep it in the dormitory?"

"That's right, it was still there at noon today, but it disappeared in the afternoon."

Ron muttered softly: "Neville must have forgotten to close the door when he left... I can't imagine what would happen if Scabbers met Mrs. Norris in the castle, it would be eaten.

"You don't have to worry about this at all." Hermione said: "Mrs. Norris never eats students' pets... In fact, it only eats what Filch feeds. "

"Are you going to the underground classroom? "

A familiar voice came, and the three were startled. When they looked up, they saw Kyle and Cedric.

"Hello."

Harry greeted the two, and then nodded helplessly, "You are right, we are going to the third underground classroom, where Nick is holding the deathday party."

It can be seen that he has regretted it a little now.

"I suggest you bring some snacks with you." Cedric reminded: "There is no food suitable for you there."

"But isn't that a party?" Hermione asked puzzledly: "How can there be no food."

"It's a ghost party." Kyle corrected, "The things they like are different from ours. "

After hearing Kyle's words, Harry seemed to regret it even more.

But as Hermione said just now, he had already promised Nick, and the other party had just helped him escape Filch's punishment. It would definitely not be appropriate to regret it at this time. He had to go anyway.

At worst... just leave early.

If there is enough time, they might be able to come back before the end of the school party.

After a few more words, Harry and the other two hurried away. Before going to the dungeon, they had to help Ron find his mouse, and time was very tight.

Kyle and Cedric walked into the lively hall.

...

Ten minutes later, the banquet officially began.

As previously speculated, Dumbledore did invite the Skeleton Dance Troupe to To liven up the Halloween party.

Moreover, they didn't use a rebellious name, but real skeletons...similar to ghosts, but of a different species.

Accompanied by a burst of music and lightning and thunder on the ceiling, they appeared out of thin air in the reserved space in front of the guest of honor, and the little wizards exclaimed as soon as they appeared.

Then the music changed, and they started dancing to the rhythm.

At this time, Kyle also understood why Nick, who was almost headless, was so upset when he learned that the dance troupe was coming to Hogwarts.

Although it was a bit scary to see these moving skeletons at first, this emotion quickly disappeared when they danced to the music.

It was the first time that Kyle saw grace in the skeletons. Every movement of theirs was full of beauty and power.

The terrifying appearance and graceful dance steps... This huge contrast instantly caused deafening cheers in the auditorium.

From here on, the applause in the auditorium almost never stopped.

Especially when they were dancing the last dance, they chose a more cheerful and exciting music.

"Magic Stuff"

It is also the most famous song of the Weird Sisters.

In a series of cheerful drum beats, some young wizards couldn't help but dance along.

At first, only Fred and George, and a few Gryffindors were entertaining themselves, but as the music was halfway through, more and more people joined in.

Even Lockhart, who was in the guest of honor seat, left his seat and danced along. His teaching level was average, but he danced very well.

He also wanted to invite other professors to dance together, but Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout refused.

However, Professor Carey Dibbagi, who was in charge of Muggle Research, gladly accepted his invitation and stood up to the dance floor.

Dumbledore was beside them, clapping the beat with a smile.

The song ended, but the cheerful atmosphere was still spreading in the hall, and the students shouted, wanting them to dance again!

Dumbledore stood up and motioned everyone to be quiet.

"Dance... is more powerful than any words." He smiled and said, "But filling your stomach is just as important."

As soon as he finished speaking, the empty plates on the table were filled with all kinds of delicious food.

Pumpkin roast chicken, roast steak with pumpkin sauce, pumpkin pie, pumpkin soup, pumpkin pudding...

All pumpkins, the main theme is to fit the occasion.

"Fortunately, we didn't go to the dungeon with Potter and the others..."

Cedric also danced a while ago, and now the excitement has not passed, and he can't help but say to Kyle: "This Halloween party is really great, do you think Headmaster Dumbledore will invite them next year?"
