A broken Hogwarts

Chapter 85 The Eve of Halloween

In the space facing the wall, white mist permeates the surroundings faintly, covering the rows of bookshelves so that it is surrounded by clouds and mist, making it quiet and peaceful.

Owen's pensive figure suddenly moved, and he waved the wand in his hand. An ominous black mist spread in the pure white space, and a jet-black shadow emerged from it, causing the surrounding temperature to drop sharply.

Stretching out his hand to his dark demon guard, seeing the cold black mist and the fluttering hem of the cloak nimbly wrapping around the palm of his hand and the back of his hand, Owen had a strong smile on his lips.

The cloak flew over nimbly and draped it over his body, and he carefully straightened the crooked top hat, covering Owen's whole body in a thick black mist, and he could no longer see his face clearly.

The ubiquitous coldness and malice enveloped him, but gradually calmed down his brain, which had been in a state of inexplicable excitement.He wrapped the cloak around his body tighter, leaned lazily on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to rest.He didn't forget to say goodnight to Muse the Rabbit, who had once again shrunk into the corner, before going back to sleep.

Melet, who was curled up on the bed, looked down at him with a disdainful face all the time, a pair of golden cat eyes shone slightly in the night, like two clear glass balls.Owen poured her a bowl of milk, picked up the kitten Lizi and stroked it up and down, then let go of the distraught little guy, fell on the bed and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, he was woken up by Meletta patting him with her little paw.Looking at the reddish plum blossom footprints on his cheeks in the mirror, Owen rubbed his face and glanced at the vengeful little guy with a smile.

He pulled out a piece of letter paper from the drawer, dipped the ink with a quill pen, and wrote a short letter to his father.

"...I'm pretty safe in Hogwarts, but I've been having a little trouble recently, maybe it's the troubles of youth... I remember that there should be a large box of the traceless stretching spell at home. Instead of putting it in My family has been eating ashes for more than ten years, why not send it to me for a while. I found something interesting here. If it is done well, I will bring you back a super birthday present at the end of the school year. ..."

After carefully sealing the letter, Owen took the time to visit the owl shack and mail the letter back home.

Life in Hogwarts was still peaceful and warm, full of laughter and laughter everywhere.The bright sunshine dispelled the coldness of the night, and also illuminated the figures who were laughing and playing.

Owen sat among the talking and laughing little wizards, listening to the childish complaints and youthful commotions that occasionally came to his ears, he had just done enough things to stay in Azkaban last night, and for a while, he felt like It feels like a world away.

"Owen, you almost didn't come home last night... did you really receive a love letter?" Draco moved his head closer with a gossip, squinting at Owen's dark circles that were not so obvious.The little wizards around turned their heads to look at him with pointed ears, their expressions were astonished.

"Ah, maybe, I received an invitation from a mysterious person, and we went on an exciting adventure together." Owen raised the corners of his mouth and responded lazily.He raised his hand to press Draco's golden hair, and pushed the other's head back, which was getting closer.

"Tell me, who is that person?" Blaise strangled his neck from behind, and Daphne and Harry also cast curious glances.

"Guess." Owen smiled mischievously.

In the peaceful daily life of the campus, time passed quietly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the eve of Halloween.

Blaise had acquired a swarm of live bats from somewhere, and he was waving his wand around the common room trying to make them bigger, but the spell went wrong.The bats gnawed through the bags that imprisoned them, rampaged through the lounge and vomited green slime, causing many people to suffer.

The girls with slime on their heads ran back to the dormitory screaming, but the red-eyed bats flew in after them.The boys were scrambling to catch bats, and secretly punched the culprit Blaise twice.

Owen was discussing the issue of transfiguration with Daphne, and he recited the Iron Armor Curse on the top of the two of them leisurely, and then gloated at the scene of flying dogs and dogs around, and said leisurely: "It's really full of vitality."

Daphne smiled and glanced at Owen, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and looked out the window at the clear and dark lake with her chin resting on her hand.She can always maintain a rare tranquility amidst the noise, like the bright sunshine shining on the fields in golden autumn.

"The banquet is about to start, hurry up and go." Owen packed up his homework, put the sleepy Melet in his pocket, walked gracefully through the messy crowd, and walked towards the auditorium.

The auditorium had been decorated with colorful lights, low dark clouds hovered above the dining tables, and huge jack-o'-lanterns came and went in the sky.Countless bats fluttered across the ceiling, making the little Slytherin wizards who had just escaped Blaise's bat nightmare look up frequently with lingering fear.

It wasn't until the rich food appeared on the golden dinner plate that the little wizards settled down and chatted with each other while eating.

Owen glanced at the positions of the teachers' seats. Several positions were vacant, and not all teachers were willing to come to the banquet.Headmaster Dumbledore was enjoying a plate of cream pudding, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick were chatting harmoniously, Snape, Quirrell and Hagrid were not there.

He looked over the Gryffindor table again, and saw that Hermione was talking to Neville, and she did not miss the banquet.

"Ah, it looks like tonight will be a peaceful night." Owen cut a piece of steak and stuffed it into his mouth.

"...I don't know, Mr. Dumbledore just chatted with me for a long time, about my parents and the others..." Harry whispered what he saw when he went to the principal's office yesterday, "Also, he told me that in the future, every week I went to his office once every six nights and said he would give me a private lesson."

Under the surprised and envious eyes cast by the young wizards, Harry blushed, but his expression was more nervous and expectant.

"Wow, you are going to be Dumbledore's successor, Harry." Owen sighed, and looked at Dumbledore from a distance with a smile in his eyes, "Maybe he wants to train you to be his successor. "

"No, don't talk nonsense..." Harry hurriedly waved his hands, his face flushed even more red.In fact, he was also at a loss. After all, in terms of learning ability, Owen and Hermione were much better than him.

"Don't worry, I won't be jealous of you, because I also have someone to ask for advice." Owen said jokingly after taking a sip of pumpkin juice.Although the professor was obsessed with black magic and had bad intentions for him, his level was not bad.

Before Harry could say anything, the door of the auditorium was suddenly knocked open, and Quirrell rushed in with a face of horror, panting and shouting: "There are... there are monsters! In the underground classroom..."

After finishing speaking, he fell to the ground without saying a word, and his cheek came into intimate contact with the ground with a "snap".He fell hard and was a ruthless man.

"Oh, I'm so uncreative." Owen swallowed the last piece of steak in his mouth, drank his pumpkin juice slowly, and saw Dumbledore release purple fireworks with his wand, soothing the flustered little wizards.

"The prefects are taking the students from each college back to the common room." Dumbledore glanced at Quirrell who fell to the ground, and said in a calm tone.Immediately afterwards, he left the auditorium in a hurry, and the teachers followed behind.

The prefects were shouting loudly, the little wizards huddled together in a mess, and the auditorium was crowded with people, discussing and complaining together.

Owen saw the Weasley twin brothers sneaking up to Quirrell's side in the chaos, and after looking at each other, the twins had smirks on their faces, and grabbed the big purple scarf on the back of Quirrell's head.

During these days, although Peeves has been trying to reveal the secrets on the back of Quirrell's head, but Quirrell is strictly guarded against it. Although he is extremely embarrassed, he has never let him succeed.

Peeves was not in a hurry, but became more and more energetic, but Fred and George were in a hurry.Because the two started a bet on what was hidden in Quirrell's scarf, and many young wizards actively participated. As long as the answer was revealed, they could earn at least five Galleons.

But as time goes by, Quirrell's secret has not been revealed for a long time, the enthusiasm of the little wizards has gradually declined, and their bets are almost lost.Seeing that the little money that was about to be obtained was about to slip out of their hands, while the two hated Peeves, they finally couldn't help but lay their hands on Quirrell.

The twins grabbed Quirrell's big scarf with one hand, nodded to each other firmly, and then pulled up together.

The strange thing is that Quirrell's head remained motionless as if stuck to the floor, and the huge purple scarf was firmly pressed between his head and the floor, so that the two of them couldn't pull it off for a while.

"Isn't that right?" George lip-synced.

"There is no turning back when you shoot the bow. For Jin Gallon, I did it!" Fred also lip-synced.

The eyes of the two brothers became more resolute. They made a movement of accumulating energy together, and then suddenly exerted force tacitly.The big scarf wrapped tightly around Quirrell's head finally fell apart, and was thrown into the air by the strength of the two of them like a long purple snake.

The two brothers looked down with bright eyes, and the little wizards around who noticed this scene also cast their gazes curiously, and they saw under Quirrell's big scarf——

It's a little purple scarf.

The Weasley twin brothers watched this scene with dull eyes, and then their eyes became fierce, and they stretched out their claws again.

At this time, Percy Weasley squeezed over and screamed like a girl on his hips: "Fred, George, what are you doing? Do you want to be fired? Come back to the lounge with me!"

The twins looked at each other helplessly, and were dragged out by Percy one by one. Before leaving, they still stomped on the back of Quirrell's head, leaving a few dusty spots on the little scarf. footprint.

"I don't seem to feel anything inside?" George felt the sensation of his feet just now.

"I seem to feel a 'click', as if I stepped on something crunchy." Fred smacked his lips.

The two brothers winked at each other, and their expressions became more curious.

Owen mingled with the little wizards in Slytherin and watched the whole scene, his lips were tightly pursed, and a faint blush appeared on his pale face.He didn't know whether to mourn for Voldemort or worry about the Weasley twins.

"It seems that I also invested in their trick products? Could it be that I lost all my money?" He was thinking wildly.

Under the leadership of the prefect Gemma Farley, the little wizards of Slytherin walked towards the dungeon, as if they had returned to the day when school started.Along the way, the little wizards whispered anxiously but excitedly, discussing what kind of monster had entered the school.

"Maybe it's a fire dragon! You see, Professor Quirrell fainted from fright."

"That's because he is timid. I suspect he would faint nervously when he sees a caterpillar..."

Suddenly, an exclamation erupted from the crowd: "Look! What's that in front of you?"

The corridor leading to the common room was blocked by a huge blue-purple figure. The ferocious-looking bird face was opening its beak and screaming sharply at everyone.The creature in front of him had the body of a snake and the head of a bird, with huge wings folded on both sides of the body, and two legs underneath.

"Bird and snake, a 4X-level magical animal." Owen squinted and said, is this the monster released by Quirrell?Or, one of the monsters?

"I really saw Merlin. How many magical animals are there in the tent that was snatched from the black market? He won't release them all?" He looked at the ferocious appearance of the bird and snake, and the magical animals in front of him were obviously taken by the little wizards. Startled, he entered an instinctive defense and counterattack state, rolling his body and rushing towards the little wizards.

"No! Help!"

"I want to go home... woo woo..."

The little wizard in the lower grade was so frightened that someone cried and his legs went limp.Gemma, the prefect, took a few senior students to cast a spell on the bird snake, but it had little effect, and instead angered it even more.

"Wait, oh, let me think about it, I need a teapot..." Gemma hurriedly dragged the stunned student back, while murmuring tremblingly about the content in the textbook.This kind of magical animal is difficult for adult wizards to subdue, even if the book clearly tells people how to deal with it.

"Hurry... run!" Draco, who was walking in the back, had a hint of crying in his tone, and shivered back, not forgetting to grab Harry and Owen's robes tightly, pulling them away. Pulled staggeringly.Blaise pulled out his wand and looked around, kicked open a door next to him, allowing Daphne to help Pansy to hide in.

"Be careful!" Harry suddenly shouted, and the wand in his hand shot a red light towards the top of Draco's head.A bright blue flying insect was hit and swayed in mid-air, and then flapped its small wings on both sides of its head and moved extremely quickly to Crabbe's side. superior.

"Aww!" Crabbe screamed, jumping up, and everyone watched as he rose higher and higher, floating up and down the ceiling like a balloon.His face was pressed against the ceiling, his hands and feet were dancing chaotically like paddling water, and he let out a meaningless yell.

The bird snake on the other side was attracted by the small thing above its head, and cast its alert and curious eyes over.

"Well, I really can't be lazy." Owen said a few Iron Armor Charms to the people around him to prevent them from being stung by the Billywig bug.This uncommon but useful insect from Australia is not terribly dangerous.

"Owen, can you do anything?" Harry pushed Draco into a utility room, and then frantically rescued the terrified little wizard.

"Flying around." Owen pointed his wand at Goyle and Crabbe floating on the ceiling, a series of candies, biscuits, and desserts swirled out of their pockets, and were transformed into forms under Owen's transfiguration. There were bright yellow birds.

Owen directed them to hover and chirp in front of the birds and snakes, and then said to Harry and Blaise, "Use the Silence Curse, don't let those little guys scream anymore, it will only irritate the birds and snakes!" Bird snakes are not very aggressive towards humans - as long as people don't come close to it or scream to annoy it.

Harry and Blaise's faces were serious, and they chanted spells at the few little wizards who screamed the loudest. Daphne also came out of the room, helping with a calm face.Hearing Draco's sharper shouts, Harry coughed lightly, waved his hand and flew past a silent curse, Draco was quiet, but his expression was sad and indignant, as if he had been shamefully betrayed.

When the screams of the crowd faded away one after another, the bird snake was in a much better mood, but it still coiled its body vigilantly, firmly blocking the passage ahead.Owen directed the birds to fly in front of the snake, and the crisp sound of birdsong attracted the snake's eyes, like a hungry person seeing delicious food.

Its eyes followed the birds, and then the snake retracted its neck, and suddenly rushed towards them.

"Owen, here!" Prefect Gemma turned over a large jar in a disheartened manner, and shouted at Owen in a low voice.

With a wave of Owen's wand, the birds quickly lined up and got into the jar in Gemma's hand.The bird snake followed the turn flexibly, its body suddenly shrunk in front of the narrow mouth of the tank, and finally got into the small tank for it.

Gemma immediately tightened the lid, clinging tightly to the jar that was still shaking from side to side, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thanks to you." She brushed her maroon curly hair behind her ears, a smile appeared on her clear face, and then looked at a few little wizards floating on the ceiling with a headache.

"I just did something insignificant." Owen shook his head, pulled Crabbe with his wand, and dragged him from the ceiling like a balloon. "It's time to call the students to continue down..."

Before he finished speaking, another deafening roar came, like a terrifying cry from the abyss, with creepy ferocity and bloodlust.

Owen looked behind him solemnly, and the sound of "dong dong" footsteps approached from far away very quickly, making the ground tremble.

"It looks like a big guy has come...Damn it, where are the professors?"
