Hogwarts becomes host

174. Scary Halloween Party



Riddle was very interested in the crime warning idea proposed by Elaine. With his magical strength, it was not difficult to do it. The only trouble was that he couldn't be seen by anyone or ghosts, and he had to avoid the Aurors in various places in the school. Alarm magic set everywhere.

Aurors and professors still don't know how the basilisk disappeared like smoke, because there are too few clues, and there are too many magic and methods used to make it invisible; but as soon as the ghost that passes through the wall discovers that the basilisk is in the pipeline If they move inside, they will figure everything out and may even touch the location of the secret room, so Riddle must be very, very careful.

From this point of view, Halloween is really a very suitable day for causing trouble. All the teachers and students of the school will gather in the auditorium or Nick’s death anniversary banquet venue. There will be fewer students and ghosts wandering in the corridors, and Aurors and professors will also I will relax my guard and enjoy the festival.

On Halloween, at half past six, half an hour before the banquet started, Harry and Ron, with their faces aggrieved and helpless, reluctantly passed by the gorgeous restaurant decorated with lights and candlelight, and walked towards the gloomy basement. Hermione Following the two boys, poking Harry and Ron in the back like he did every week when they were forced to go to Potions class.

Elaine watched them leave with a look that was half sympathetic and half gloating, and then went to attend the Halloween party. Of course, she did not sit at the Slytherin table in the end. Instead, Daphne borrowed Hermione's uniform and changed into it, and then ran to the Lanffindor sits at this table.

It seemed like an unnecessary step, but no one at the entire banquet really cared about which college Daphne was a student in. I don't know if the uniform is really useful, or if everyone is crazy and Elaine is leaning toward the latter.

The rumors turned out to be true. Dumbledore really hired a skeleton dance troupe. A large number of white skeletons that had absorbed enough calcium danced briskly to the music and even performed tricks with their own skeletons. Tricks, such as throwing skulls at each other, or knocking the bones of your partners into scattering, make the atmosphere very lively.

Elaine absentmindedly ate several mouthfuls of food fed by Daphne. She kept thinking about what Riddle would do. She didn't notice that Daphne always took a bite before feeding it to her, and she didn't know that the two of them were actually Share a wine glass.

This made the surrounding students jealous. They all stared at Elaine with knives and forks, seeing that Hogwarts originally had more boys than girls. Especially in the past few years, due to Voldemort's troubles, there have been fewer students. Many seniors She never touched a girl's hand until she graduated, but Elaine has a fiancée. How could they not be envious and jealous?

There were also people who came into contact with Elaine with the weird dream of three people sleeping together, and without exception they were taught a terrible lesson, which made them even more angry. You said you are a girl, why do you want to rob us of the rare things? Female resources are still excessively shown off in front of us every day

Just when the banquet was over, the performance of the Skeleton Dance Troupe was over, and everyone was eating the desserts that appeared on the table, a huge pumpkin fell from the sky into the restaurant, startling everyone.

Just when the teachers and students didn't react, thinking it was a surprise or a special show, the pumpkin exploded - countless snakes came out of it, and there was also a phantom of a skull surrounded by snakes. It looked like It's very similar to the Dark Mark, but not the same.

The Dark Mark has a snake coming out of the skull, but this one has snakes wrapped around the skull. Even so, this thing has a similar feeling to the Dark Mark, maybe because the designer is the same.

In an instant, the cafeteria was in chaos. The students bitten by the snakes cried out for help. Others panicked in fear. The Aurors and professors hurriedly took out their wands from their robes, but the snakes had already blended into the students. This made them constrained, wanting to attack but afraid of hurting the students.

"The descendants of Slytherin will purify the entire Hogwarts. Those who oppose Lord Voldemort, tremble and fear."

"This year is the day Harry Potter dies, and his Mudblood friends will be the first sacrifice."

In this chaos, an eerie laughter enveloped the entire restaurant. Riddell laughed wildly in his own voice and said. Most people's faces turned pale. Then they saw the students who were bitten by the snake were paralyzed and fell to the ground. , the panic reached its peak, and a large number of people rushed to the exit.

Those snakes are actually poisonous snakes

This is the Dark Lord's revenge

There are only a few people in the world who dare to call Voldemort by his name, not even the Death Eaters. However, this voice actually named Voldemort by name, and the hidden meaning behind it was even more terrifying.

"Everyone shut up," Elaine threw away Daphne who wanted to pull her away and jumped onto the table and shouted. "Calm down and use your wand. Are you a wizard or a Muggle? These are just snakes. There is nothing to be afraid of."

She raised her wand and waved it, and a sharp sound spread around her, causing most students to subconsciously cover their ears.

Snakes have no external ears, but although they have inner ears, they are not affected by music.

The snake-charming technique popular in Southeast Asia, India, and ancient Egypt—playing wind instruments on snakes placed in bamboo baskets, causing the snakes to poke their heads out of the bamboo baskets and make various posing movements—is actually It sends a signal to the snake with the gesture of both hands.

The snake makes a variety of twisting movements based on the left and right swing of the flute and the vibration of the snake charmer's stamping feet, not music.

When Elaine made this sharp voice, she was only targeting the students, not the snakes. Just kidding, wizards are afraid of venomous snakes. What makes students afraid is actually the shadow of Voldemort, and Elaine's actions are to dispel this shadow.

Then Dumbledore also took action. He stood up and waved his wand, and all the snakes in the restaurant floated and flew towards him. It was the same whether they were among the crowd or the snakes hiding under the table. They twisted and struggled feebly in the air. Turned into a snake ball by Dumbledore.

Then he waved his hand and the snake disappeared.

"Students who are not injured, under the leadership of their prefects and the Head Boy and Student Council, return to the dormitory where Mr. Potter, Miss Granger, and Miss Shafik will stay and come find me."

The blue eyes behind the lenses were piercing, and without the kind smile, every wrinkle on the old face was filled with cold anger. Dumbledore radiated a kind of power around him, as if he was burning with heat. This power was intimidating, but also reassuring to the students.

Under Dumbledore's attention, the students quietly filed out of the restaurant. The professor and Aurors began to treat the students. Friends of the bitten person also stayed to help. After a while, the restaurant was empty, leaving only Dumbledore. Bledo, Elaine, Daphne, Professor McGonagall and Snape were there.

"Where's Harry"

"Uh." Elaine scratched her face, "Maybe at Nick's death anniversary party."
