October 31st, Halloween.
Before the Halloween dinner, Scott and his roommates came to the auditorium.
At this time, the Great Hall of Hogwarts had been completely decorated.
The candles suspended above the auditorium turned black, and groups of bats flew among the candles.
A pumpkin as big as a carriage is carved into a jack-o’-lantern with a weird expression.
They are either placed around the auditorium, or suspended in mid-air, with patches of warm orange light emitting from the interior.
The entire interior of the auditorium was very different from usual, filled with a strange and bizarre atmosphere.
“Wow.”
Seeing all this, Eddie cheered unconsciously.
The students were very excited, but Scott couldn’t get into the joyful holiday atmosphere.
He felt awkward at the thought of a deadly basilisk wandering the castle corridors.
At this time, they passed through the doorway on the side of the auditorium and walked under a huge jack-o’-lantern.
The carved mouth of the jack-o-lantern immediately spurted out many colorful candies.
Scott picked one up.
It’s the Buttery Peanut Candy from Bee Duke Candy Shop.
He put it casually in his pocket, walked to the Ravenclaw table with his roommates and sat down, hearing the first years marveling at the golden plates on the table.
“Oh, even the plates on the table are different today!”
A group of lower grade students scrambled for candy near the jack-o’-lantern.
Many little wizards ate the sizzling honey candies, and then slowly floated up. There were also many blue bubbles they blew with Chuibao Super Bubble Gum floating in the air.
Eddie was excitedly saying loudly to everyone: “You know, I heard that Principal Dumbledore invited a skeleton dance troupe to entertain us at our Halloween dinner today!”
The students around him became excited when they heard this.
“Skeleton Dance Troupe? I’ve wanted to see it for a long time!” Milton was also looking forward to it.
Scott felt that the skeleton dance probably had no beauty for people to appreciate except for curiosity.
He looked around the Great Hall and found that Roger had gone to the Hufflepuff table to sit down with his new girlfriend and whisper.
And Miss Mill was still staring at them with red eyes, which caused many students on the Hufflepuff table to feel a little embarrassed.
As the professors walked into the auditorium and took their seats, the dinner officially began.
Dumbledore stood in front and simply said a few holiday greetings, then waved his hand so that sumptuous food appeared on all the long tables.
Everyone immediately started eating and drinking.
Scott glanced at the Gryffindor table again.
The “Savior” and his two little friends were not present, but Ginny, another key figure, was still sitting at the table.
It’s just that her face didn’t look good, as if she was sick.
At this time, Fred and George toasted to him with smiles, and Scott also smiled and looked away calmly.
Soon, the skeleton dance troupe that everyone was looking forward to came on stage.
It’s really curious.
Scott looked at the group of skeletons dancing in the weird music and felt that he really couldn’t appreciate it.
Milton was disappointed.
“This is not art!” he said to Scott, as if he had been deceived. “Their music and dance are very ordinary, only the actors are more unusual!”
“At least it fits the Halloween atmosphere.” Scott didn’t care.
The Skeleton Dance Troupe performed several dances. While Scott was eating delicious food, he usually paid attention to the movements on the Gryffindor side from time to time.
Just before the last dance ended, Ginny was seen leaving in a hurry.
Scott withdrew his gaze again, and then stopped paying attention there.
After the dinner, students crowded out of the auditorium from all directions.
Scott and the others were standing at the bottom of the stairs leading to the second floor, and were about to go from the corridor on the first floor to Ravenclaw Tower, when the noise above suddenly became quiet.
“Something happened on the third floor!” Scott heard a student shouting from above.
Eddie’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“what happened!”
He quickly turned around, squeezed into the crowd on the stairs with agility that was completely inconsistent with his fat body, and headed for the upper floor.
Scott and Milton looked at each other and followed the curious students up to the second floor.
At this time, they heard a boy shouting: “Those who are enemies of the heir, beware! You are next, Mudblood!”
Scott could tell it was Malfoy’s voice.
Immediately afterwards, Filch’s heart-rending scream came from above.
“My cat! My cat! What happened to Mrs. Norris?” he screamed in panic.
At this time, the professors obviously noticed the commotion here and hurried over under the leadership of Dumbledore.
The students all consciously made way for the professors to go up the stairs first.
Then Scott finally climbed up to the third floor. He saw Filch glaring at the helpless Potter with bulging eyes and hatred against the wall surrounded by crowds.
He said fiercely to Potter: “You! You killed my cat! You killed it! I’m going to kill you! I’m going to…”
“Filch!”
Dumbledore, who was walking in front, interrupted him.
He quickly walked over there and took down a stiff cat from the lamp stand on the wall.
Milton, standing next to Scott, exclaimed, “Is that Mrs. Norris?”
“It seems so.” Scott said calmly, “Look at the wall.”
Milton also saw the two lines of words on the wall at this time.
[The Chamber of Secrets was opened. Enemies of the Heir, beware. ]
“Oh!” He covered his mouth and widened his eyes.
“Come with me, Filch.” Dumbledore said to Filch.
He looked at the “Savior” and his friends again, “And you, Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, Miss Granger.”
Lockhart stood up and took the initiative to propose unusually actively, “My office is closest to here, Headmaster! It’s upstairs… You can…”
“Thank you, Gilderoy.” Dumbledore thanked him.
Then, Dumbledore held the dead cat and went to his office under the leadership of Lockhart.
The Potter trio and Filch walked behind them, and other professors followed.
When they disappeared, the students in the corridor immediately discussed it.
“Did you see it!”
Eddie came out from nowhere again and said to Scott and Milton with excitement.
“Potter and his friends, the three of them are so daring! They killed Filch’s cat and wrote those mysterious messages on the wall!” He gestured with his hands and feet, “It’s a pity that they were caught by Filch!”
Milton looked at him suspiciously, “Is this true? Eddie. I think Potter and his friends don’t seem to know.”
“You don’t understand this, Milton.” Eddie said proudly, “They just want to get away with this disguise!”
He shook his head and sighed with a little pity, “But how is this possible? No one can lie to Dumbledore.”
The students around him all showed expressions of approval when they heard Eddie’s argument.
Moreover, Filch’s annoying cat finally got revenge, and most students were gloating over it.
