Chapter 283 One Night of Joy
The wind wrinkled the water surface of the Black Lake, and the reflection of the moon was rippling in the water. A few mermaids showed their heads on the water surface, looking at the bright castle in the distance, with puzzlement and longing on their faces.
In the castle, the students all walked out of their dormitories and walked towards the auditorium.
Professor Snape walked from his dormitory in the direction of the auditorium.He wasn't on patrol tonight, at least not at this time, so he walked thinking about the next day's lessons.
He wasn't very interested in this celebration of the holiday.After all, he had no one with whom to celebrate the festival.If possible, he wished that the school would be as silent as a cemetery on festival nights.
Well, if I can become the principal, I will cancel all these useless celebrations.If you have the intention to hold a dinner party, it is better to ask the professors to spend more time and assign more homework to the students.
By the way, for the next class assignment of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, it will be assigned to dodge ten spell attacks by rolling.A group of little bastards looked at how precious the robes they were wearing one by one.No matter how precious the robe is, how can it be worth a little life?
There are also those little guys who don't even know how to use Flame Bear until now, they are really useless... You know, a certain second-year brat is almost more proficient in using Flame Bear than him.
If Luke had heard Snape's heart, he would have contradicted him.After all... What is the second-year little ghost, Flaming Bear, is very proficient in using it. He was better than those senior students in the first grade, okay?
After all, if the spell is controlled, it is not the power of the spell.The power of the magic spell can be achieved by increasing the magic power and making miracles vigorously, but the control of the magic spell is a delicate work.Someone's blazing flame can make the tip of the stick so hot that you can light a cigarette.There are also people who dare to burn their own eyebrows if they dare to put the flames in front of them.
Thinking about the next teaching content, Snape turned a corner and merged into the crowd.
Then he realized that there seemed to be no children in school uniforms around him.
Hogwarts school robes are not ugly, they can even be said to be quite handsome.Especially after entering the 20th century, schools relaxed the requirements for students to wear school gowns only when necessary.The collocation of the inside can be decided by yourself.
However, because the dressing style of the wizarding world has not changed much over the years, most of the students are still wearing retro clothes.
It's not that the retro ones are not good-looking, but that the retro ones look a little old-fashioned.
Logically speaking, at the Halloween dinner, students really don't care what to wear, as long as it is not excessive, such as not wearing it, then they will not specifically ask for it.
But even so, students often arrive at dinner in uninspired gowns or, at best, masks.
The tradition of the school is like this, and the students have no intention of changing the tradition.For them, a dinner party is just a dinner party. Compared to usual, it means changing the decoration style and eating a little more sumptuously.
To be reasonable, the meals in Hogwarts are already very good on weekdays.After all, the food was made by the elf who has tempered his memory for many years. If it tastes bad, it can only be said that his mouth is too tricky. ...but now, it's completely different!
After all, Snape couldn't help but stop, watching the group of demons dancing in front of him.
There are pumpkin knights, mummies, ghosts, vampires, werewolves, and students in all costumes.
These things, which are synonymous with horror in the Muggle world, are still shy of people in most cases in the wizarding world, but in the final analysis, they are not the kind of legendary things.As long as this thing can see things and dispel those exaggerated imaginations, the sense of terror will drop instantly.
Therefore, the costumes of the little wizards are often not all kinds of strange things. A vampire is a vampire, and some students have even seen this thing.
What is more eye-catching are the few that stand out from the crowd, which look like green jelly, with big heads, and eyes that occupy more than half of the face. They are dark and have no whites.The arm is slender and has only three fingers.
This thing made Snape really uncomfortable.
"Wow! Fred! What are you wearing?!"
Lee Jordan looked at the exaggerated and weird Fred, his eyes were about to glow!
Under the holster, Fred's voice came out in a muffled voice: "Haha! This is the suit that Luke transformed for us. It is said to be a terrifying creature in the Muggle world, what is it called an alien! "
"Wow! That's cool!"
Lee Jordan and Fred, who was writhing with teeth and claws, amused each other, and everyone around them also found it very interesting.
Little Colin squeezed his way through the crowd.Raising the camera in his hand, Kacha Kacha took a few photos of Fred.
Thanks to the speed at which Luke solved the problem, Colin did not fall into the state of being persecuted by the basilisk to lie down on the bed and lose most of the semester.Of course, the camera in his hand also managed to get rid of the fate of being destroyed, and can be used today.
"Hi! Mr. Wesley! Look here!"
Fred followed the sound and looked over, followed by a Kacha sound and a flashing light.
After the filming, Colin, wearing a mummy headgear, shouted excitedly: "It's so cool! I'll show my parents when I go back. They must not have imagined that I would see aliens in the wizarding school." !"
Normally, Colin's words would definitely make everyone laugh.But today, because everyone was already very happy, they didn't make fun of Colin.
Besides Fred, there were several other students who were wearing very special clothes.It's like Harry and Ron are both wearing robot costumes.
Ron just felt a little cool, but Harry really felt something different.
What about the little boy who grew up in the Muggle world without dreaming of a robot?
Even Harry, when he saw Dudley's robot toys, would be really greedy.
And now, Luke can be regarded as helping him realize his dream.
Snape stood alone among the flowing crowd, like a rock exposed in the river bed.
He didn't move until he felt someone pat him on the shoulder. ... Turning around, it was Dumbledore who came.
"Is this what you allowed?"
Snape asked a little confusedly.
And Dumbledore smiled slightly: "Isn't this allowed in the first place? It's just that the previous students lacked money and creativity. Or, they lacked ability. With Luke around, his Transfiguration can Helped a lot of people out of their troubles in dressing up."
The price of a good piece of clothing is not low, especially since this kind of clothing can only be used once, so the cost performance is extremely low.
People often don't spend this money to buy such a suit of clothes.After all, it does seem a bit unworthy.
"..."
Snape pursed his lips and frowned, with a look of puzzlement on his face, but this was also normal. The traditions of so many years were suddenly changed, and no one might be able to adapt easily.
Although the sight of the demons dancing in front of them would not make Snape break his defense.But a little upset is inevitable.
Seeing his tangled expression, the smile on Dumbledore's face became brighter, and he patted Snape's shoulder vigorously again: "Okay! Don't think so much, go to the auditorium quickly."
Snape shook his head and said: "You go first. I'll go and explain tonight's patrol. I thought there would be nothing wrong today. But looking at the scene tonight, I'm still a little uneasy. "
The students all wore masks and dressed in various ways.Some students in the upper grades are quite good.There was a little guy dressed as a werewolf that made Snape give him an extra look.
If something like a werewolf really mixed in, it would be a big problem.
As for the nonsense that Hogwarts is safe and there won't be such things as werewolves, Snape wouldn't believe it at all...
Hogwarts is very safe, and dark wizards outside can't easily get in.And it is not uncommon for a dark wizard who can enter Hogwarts to go anywhere in the world.Gringotts is blown like that, isn't it still invaded by Voldemort?
However, the danger of Hogwarts lies in this crony headmaster.
He thought Hagrid was a good man, so he let Hagrid be the gamekeeper, and even intended to let him take over as the professor of the protection of magical animals.
Snape had no doubts about Hagrid's expertise in Fantastic Beasts.Sometimes he needed materials, so he asked Hagrid directly for the nearest one.He was somewhat sure of Hagrid's level.
And precisely because of Hagrid's communication at work, Snape saw Hagrid's outrageousness even more.Relying on the fact that he is a giant hybrid, he even dared to come into close contact with the acromantula.Anyone who sees this kind of thing has to shout outrageously.
What's more frightening is... Hagrid never thought of himself as any special person.This is good, that is, when Hagrid integrated into human society, he didn't have the slightest discomfort.He has never been ashamed of being a half-giant.This is quite rare among people of mixed race.
But therein lies the horror.He is really different from normal people!
Not everyone can touch an acromantula's fangs and say it's cute! .... Such a person became a professor, and Snape could guess the teaching style almost exactly.Just thinking about it makes me worry about those kids.
Therefore, if there is one stone more dangerous in Hogwarts, then one is the coveting of the outside world, one is the mystery of the castle itself, and the remaining eight are all outrageous by Dumbledore.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, Snape quickened his pace, he should go on patrol with him tonight.It can not only ensure everyone's safety, but also keep out of sight, kill two birds with one stone, and be good for everyone.
Dumbledore shook his head helplessly watching Snape's leaving back.This guy is still so out of gregarious.
But... that's fine too.It is also a headache if everyone is like Luke.
Thinking of this, Dumbledore looked at the boy in the crowd wearing a basilisk mask.
........................
Sitting in the crowd, Luke looked at Mrs. Norris, who was arching her back towards him, looking as if she wanted to compete with him and decide whether to live or die. He didn't know what to say for a while.
Luna and Ginny made this basilisk mask really well.The grasp of details is very good.Obviously grasped the essence of it.
Gloomy, vicious, and violent, but there is a trace of gentleness that is not easy to detect.After all, the basilisk Ginny saw was, after all, a domesticated basilisk raised by Slytherin.It was also the only tamed basilisk Luke was able to find.After all, Doris has been determined not to be a basilisk.
It is normal for domesticated things to feel docile.
As the only victim in this turmoil, Mrs. Norris didn't have a good impression of this face. It's nothing more than normal.
However, it didn't have to be arrogant for long before it was taken away by Filch who hurried over.
Although Filch has always had a lot of opinions on Luke, but seeing that Luke specially took out the ripening potion to ripen the mandrake ahead of time, and saved Mrs. Norris's face, he decided to avoid it in the future. Some trouble with Luke and the guys around him.
After such a small episode, the dinner party proceeded as scheduled.It seems that they were infected by the enthusiasm of the students, and the professors also made up and dressed themselves more or less.
Professor McGonagall performed a difficult operation, turning his face into a cat-like appearance, but still maintaining his human body.It seems that there is still some kind of horror after all.
Professor Sprout dressed himself as a witch doctor, looking like a witch used to scare children in Muggle legends.
Professor Flitwick has always been able to face his own shortcomings, and it was he who dressed himself up as a leprechaun in a self-deprecating way, and by the way, he was throwing coins among the crowd.
This is also the traditional art of leprechauns.
Of course, unlike the leprechauns' gold coins, which can be mistaken for real ones, but will disappear when they are young, Professor Flitwick sprinkled chocolates with gold coins.
The Wesley twins in alien costumes were once again the MVPs of the liveliness.The two of them stood in the middle of the specially vacated dance floor, one sang the school song in a weird accent, and the other danced funny.
Originally, under their proposal, Luke also thought about whether to invite top wizards like the Weird Sisters to present this special Halloween dinner.After all, no matter how big the name is, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can still get it.However, after discussing for a while, a group of students persuaded Luke to give up.
After all, this is the first time they have engaged in such an event.It's okay if it's done well, but if it's not done well, it will be self-defeating if the joke is seen by outsiders.
Dumbledore looked at the extraordinarily cheerful atmosphere in front of him, and gently beat the beat for the twins with his hands.
He looked at Luke in the distance, who was also beating gently, surrounded by four girls.Nodding with satisfaction.
He doesn't like change.But it doesn't mean he will reject good changes.
This night is destined to be joyful. .
