Chapter 122 Professor Quirrell's Halloween Gift
Lu Ren and Malfoy didn't show up for the next flight lesson - it was normal, when they asked for leave and left, it was less than 10 minutes before the end of the lesson.But they were still nowhere to be seen until dinner time.Before Harry and Ron went to the Halloween banquet, they were also briefly worried about Lu Ren's physical condition.But just a moment later, when the two entered the auditorium and saw the festive Halloween decorations and unlimited meals, they immediately forgot about Lu Ren.Only Hermione was still worried.
In order to let the little wizards have a wonderful Halloween, Dumbledore specifically stated that he will pay for the consumption of the audience tonight, and the little wizards can eat as much as they want.
In order to increase the festive atmosphere, Hogwarts also prepared thousands of bats, which fluttered everywhere on the walls and ceiling of the school auditorium.In addition, Dumbledore also created a lot of small dark clouds. These dark clouds hovered and danced above the dining table, spewing out a puff of smoke from time to time. Coupled with the specially dimmed candlelight, it added a bit of gloom.
The candlesticks on weekdays were all replaced with pumpkins. Candles flickered in the pumpkin's belly, and hundreds of pumpkin lanterns were suspended in the air. Under the effect of magic, the candlelight was no longer warm, but looked eerie. blue flame.If a Muggle strayed here, he must have thought he was in hell.
The scariest thing is not these pumpkin lanterns in the sky, but the lanterns in the corridors and classrooms.Because Peeves would cunningly hide in these lanterns, and suddenly jumped out and shouted when the little wizards were most relaxed, scaring them out of their wits.Then sneak away before the little wizards can react, looking for the next victim.This trick has been tried and tested!As a result, many little wizards will subconsciously avoid pumpkin lanterns when they see them.
In addition to these, dark yellow ribbons were hung on the edges of the corridors and windows, and the entire castle satisfied everyone's impression of Halloween in every way.
After the students were seated, all kinds of delicacies suddenly appeared on golden plates—everything seemed to be the same as before, and tears of happiness flowed from the corners of the little wizards' mouths.
The wizarding world also celebrates Halloween, but the origin is slightly different from that of Muggles.Muggles come from the Romans and Christianity, and the origin of the wizarding world is from the Celts and Druids.
Although there are differences in the origin of Halloween between the magic world and the non-magic world, with the passage of time, the customs and habits of both sides have been completely integrated, and there is no essential difference between Halloween in the two worlds.
And whether they come from Celts or Romans, Christianity or Druids, there is one protagonist in common: wizards—and maybe pumpkins.Halloween is a holiday for wizards.
For people in the wizarding world, Halloween is really a super important holiday. They want to forget their troubles and let go of their stomachs to have a full meal.
When the little wizards were eating and drinking, an "uninvited guest" suddenly broke in. It was Professor Quirrell.He tells everyone that a troll has appeared in the castle, after which he "passes out".
There was an uproar in the auditorium, and it was not until Professor Dumbledore exploded purple fireworks with his wand that everyone fell silent.Dumbledore quickly made arrangements for the little wizards.He ordered the prefects to take the wizards from their houses back to the dormitory, and then he and the professors split up to find the troll.
However, the reaction of the little wizards made him almost lose control of his expression: every little wizard subconsciously picked up the plate closest to him—trolls and the like are not a big problem, and Professor Dumbledore will bear it if the sky falls. , but if you miss the free meal, you really miss it.
Wizards don't really think much of trolls.This kind of thing has a pitifully low IQ—it is so low that the worst score in the wizard exam is indicated by its name. It is slow to move, has no magic attack methods, and has fatal flaws in defense. Nothing to be afraid of.
Of course, as magical creatures without magic, giant monsters do have one skill, that is, their tyrannical bodies and a little bit of magic resistance.Any wizard who underestimated them paid a heavy price: humans are also on the diet of trolls, and trolls, like brown bears, like to eat their prey alive.Watching one's own body being eaten bit by bit before death is an extremely terrifying torture.
The little wizards obediently held their plates, followed their prefects, and left the auditorium in an orderly manner.I have to say that Percy's ability is still very good, he can always be the first to organize the team to evacuate.Of course, he is always prone to overlook things, such as his little brother.
Percy's little brother, Ron, was now being held by the arms of Hermione and Harry.
They all thought of one person: Lu Ren.In their eyes, Lu Ren didn't know about the troll yet.
After a short thought, they decided to leave the main force to go to Lu Ren and tell him about the troll.
And where is Lu Ren at this time?He's still in the bathroom on the second floor.He and Malfoy had just come out of the school hospital. Madam Pomfrey prescribed a potion for them, which successfully relieved their symptoms, but the psychological damage caused to them by the experience just now cannot be erased by the potion.Of course, the emptiness in the body cannot be filled by a cup of potion.
Malfoy turned the tap to hot water, washed his face seriously, and then took out a small perfume bottle and sprayed himself a few times.
"Help me smell it, do I still smell bad?" Malfoy moved closer, but was pushed away by Lu Ren.
"Please maintain a normal social distance." Lu Ren looked disgusted: If there is no taste, this action is a bit disgusting, if it is smelly, it is very disgusting.
Malfoy looked frustrated, "It's over, I've lost the face of the Malfoy family... Let's insist that we skipped class, okay?"
Lu Ren covered his forehead, "Accept it calmly, lies cannot cover up lies. Also, hurry up, I feel the need to leave this place."
Lu Ren had the impression that a giant monster would be put in the school on the eve of Halloween in the first grade—but he didn't know which floor it was on, and he didn't want to be confronted with this kind of thing.Hermione is in a good mood today, so she shouldn't be stuck in the bathroom.
"It stinks!" Malfoy suddenly complained, "If I smell like this, I won't go out even if I'm killed."
Lu Ren also smelled a vague stench, like the smell of smelly socks mixed with ammonia water. For a moment, Lu Ren felt as if he was in a public toilet on the streets of Paris.
The washrooms at Hogwarts are actually very clean. If there is a comparison, it is as clean as the toilets in airports in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.Today was the first time Lu Ren smelled this smell since he went to school.
Malfoy felt nauseous again - of course he couldn't vomit anything now.
Lu Ren was thinking, what on earth is so stinky?
