Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

Ignoring Nick, who was in deep thought behind him, Elena turned and walked into the main hall of the death party.

Unlike the colorful Hogwarts Central Auditorium, although it is also a Halloween-themed banquet, the main color and temperature of the "Halloween Death Party" where ghosts and wizards dance together are obviously much colder.

Under the overall planning of Elena and the house elves, the underground classroom was clearly transformed into three areas:

The most central location is the main stage area for guests to dance, talk, and enjoy performances.

Hundreds of creamy, translucent figures wandered back and forth on the dance floor, mixed with the soft warm orange light, like street lamps rising under the thin forest fog—those are Gryffins carrying pumpkin lanterns Many students, the low temperature of the ghosts kept blowing around, causing the magic candle flame in the pumpkin belly to flicker.

Compared to the auditorium with the magic sky as the dome, this temporary venue dressed up as an underground classroom naturally couldn't create the brilliant starlight of the main venue at Hogwarts, but Elena still managed to decorate the venue a bit.

Nearly a thousand magic candles were lit in the classical brass chandeliers, swaying with blue gloom.

The walls on both sides of the death party were covered with shiny silver frost. Hundreds of sprigs and ivy garlands were hung on the ceiling. Many flame-spitting silver ribbons floated lazily under the ceiling. , Like a brilliant water snake.

Close to the root of the right wall is a high stage.

The Siren Choir from far away is singing a sad tune softly above. Several goblins are holding batons and directing the instruments on the other side to dance with a serious face, while supervising the singers who have collected Gringotts gold coins. We", noticing Elena's gaze, those fairy overseers seemed to become more nervous.

The two sides of the hall are filled with ice sculptures, which are like huge diamond statues shining under the magic light.

Located next to the ice sculptures, is the dining area planned by Elena for the "living visitors".

Thirteen small tables with lanterns are scattered in the hall of the death party. They are decorated with ice sculptures. Each table can seat about eight to ten people. However, most of the tables are not full at this time.

The dinner was based on the buffet held by Slytherin College before, and it was a buffet.

At the other end of the banquet hall is a row of U-shaped long tables, covered with black velvet tablecloths, neatly placed a silver semicircular dining cover, a thin layer of magic flame attached to it Around the dinner plate, the bitter chill in the air was dissipated. After hundreds of ghosts gathered together, the banquet hall became a natural cold storage room.

"Ha—it's so cold, Elena, you can count on coming..."

Hannah lightly breathed a cloud of mist, and her slightly fat face turned red with cold.

She, Hermione and Luna did not go far after entering the hall. They had been waiting at the door for Elena. Even with a small pumpkin lantern to keep warm, their cheeks and back of hands were still sore... the most important thing was that they were hungry. Up.

"What are you talking about with Mr. Nick? Why do you talk for so long?"

"Oh, nothing, it's just about the death party process--"

Elena habitually opened her eyes and began to perfunctory. As the Gringotts Fairy Queen and the Demon King of the new era, it takes almost no time for her to activate her "performance" skills, and she can make up a lot of logically rigorous stories with her mouth open.

However, she stopped just halfway through her words.

Three meaningful glances were cast at Elena's swaying little dull hair at the same time.

Hermione: →_→

Luna: →_→

Hannah: →_→

Little dumb hair: (??Д??≡??д??)!?

"...Well, okay, okay...I admit, I'm not discussing the process of death party."

Elena spread her hands dejectedly and explained honestly.

"However, those contents related to Sir Nicholas' personal privacy, and I promised him to keep it secret for the time being-at least until the end of tonight's death party, except for him and me, I swear not to tell a third person..."

"I know, I won't ask you--"

Hermione glanced at Elena shortly, and she asked casually.

If they really want to eavesdrop on what the two of them are talking about, they will not stand so far on purpose that, apart from a few gestures and gestures, let alone sounds, even the patterns that Elena draws in the air can not see clearly.

Obviously, it was probably some working hours belonging to the "fairy queen".

"Shall we go to eat something?" Hannah made a suggestion, and she was about to faint from hunger.

"Be careful, don't pass through someone's body."

Luna seriously reminded her, tilting her head towards the dance floor, and whispered cheerfully.

"Just now, the Weasley twin brothers accidentally entered the body of a nun when they were playing and arguing, and they almost were not chased to death. In the end, Percy Weasley and the fat monk helped to make a round of it. of."

They walked cautiously around the edge of the dance hall, passing by a group of gloomy nuns, a ragged man with chains, and the fat monk Luna said: he is the resident ghost of Hufflepuff College, with a lively and happy nature. .

At the moment he was chatting with a knight with an arrow stuck in his forehead.

And not far from the fat monk, they also saw the blood man Barrow, the resident ghost of Slytherin College.

Unlike the easy-going ghosts of several other colleges, Barrow, the Blood Man, always has a cold expression on his face-he is the only "ghost" that Pippi in Hogwarts fears-he stands in the center of the dance floor with eyes open. Looking straight at the direction of the door, his whole body exuded an uncomfortable breath, and his body was covered with silver blood stains, and other ghosts were making a large area for him.

"You know," Elena lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "He is waiting for Ms. Gray in Ravenclaw, but I can bet with all the food tonight, the ghost of Ravenclaw's resident It will never show up..."

Compared to Nick, who was almost headless, Elena didn't know much about the ghosts of the other colleges.

Especially the two ghosts who lived in the hospital during the four founders: now aliased as "Ms. Gray", Rowena Ravenclaw’s daughter, Helena Ravenclaw; and Ina Ravenclaw was dispatched to find her daughter, but in the end, because the pursuit and mission failed, Helena's, Barrow, the blood was killed in a rage.

Obviously, behind these two ghosts, there is a mysterious shadow about Rowena Ravenclaw.

If Elena remembers it correctly, according to the only documentary record, Rowena Ravenclaw’s task to "Bloodman Barrow" is: [Bring Helena back to Hogwarts]—and From the results, her goal was perfectly achieved.

The birth of ghosts can be roughly divided into two states, active and passive.

Most of them belong to the former. They stay in the world because of the nostalgia for life and the fear of death. This requires a very strong will and magic power, such as Nick, who is almost headless, and the fat monk.

The other is to die by a powerful magic, or under the curse with a "soul restraint" effect.

"Is it the power of that sword...or is it not an entity but an enchantment?"

Elena's gaze stayed for a few seconds on the spiritually transformed thin sword on the waist of Blood Man Barrow, and she narrowed her eyes slightly.

Maybe Helena Ravenclaw doesn't necessarily want to die, but Barrow, the blood man who chooses to commit suicide, will definitely not be turned into a ghost because of his subjective will. It is quite essential to go to death generously and cowardly to self-decision. difference.

This also means that in that remote Albanian jungle, there is an unknown magical power that binds Barrow's soul.

No one knows how powerful the four wizards who founded Hogwarts back then are.

But there is no doubt that their attainments in soul are definitely not low.

Sorting hat, magic castle...just a few details, you can see the magic abilities of the founders.

You know, compared to the **** Barrow and Mrs. Gray whose conversion reasons are yet to be determined, in Hogwarts, there is also a poor ghost whose soul was forcibly detained in the castle who died indirectly by the hands of the founder of the castle. .

"Oh, oops," Hermione stopped suddenly. "Turn around, I don't want to talk to the crying Myrtle—"

"Who?" Danilova asked curiously, looking forward.

On the path directly in front of them, there was a short and chubby girl ghost floating quietly.

Her face is the most melancholy and gloomy face Danilova has ever seen. Even the faces of the nuns who were offended by the twins are better than her. The girls' faces are covered with straight long hair and thick thick hair. , Pearl-colored glasses are half covered.

"You should remember, I said before, try not to go to the girl's bathroom on the second floor."

Hermione glanced back at Myrtle with horror, preparing to bypass the road, and said in a low voice.

"Here, that's the reason... That bathroom belongs to the crying Myrtle. That bathroom breaks down all year round because Myrtle always loses her temper and splashes water everywhere. Think about it. , When you are in the bathroom, she keeps crying and screaming at you and splashing water everywhere. It’s terrible. We’d better—"

"Hello, Myrtle! Nice to see you outside the bathroom."

Elena waved happily and said loudly.

"how?"

Myrtle floated over and asked in confusion.

"I'm sorry, but do we...know?"

"Strictly speaking, this should be considered the first time we met? Introduce myself, Elena, Elena Kaslana, I used to hear other ghosts talk about you before-I had fun tonight Is it happy?"

Elena said openly, stretched her hand forward, and made a handshake gesture.

"Elena...Kaslana..."

Myrtle sniffed and looked at Elena with some uncertainty.

"I've heard your name. You are now the most famous student in Hogwarts, the chef of Hogwarts, the favorite student of professors, the star among the classmates-unlike me- No one would ever care—"

As she spoke, tears suddenly fell from her small transparent eyes.

"Myrtle Elizabeth Warren, I have heard your name from Professor Dumbledore and the Sorting Hat."

Elena said softly, stared fiercely at the wings above her head, and said softly.

"In fact, I've been looking forward to meeting you, well...in a relaxed, semi-formal setting like this, instead of rushing into your bathroom and introducing yourself impolitely and recklessly."

"Don't lie to me. Actually you are trying to avoid me..."

Myrtle panted, tears rolling down her cheeks endlessly.

"Friends around me know that Elena Kaslana will do what she says and never lie."

Elena looked at Myrtle quite sincerely, and said very seriously.

"Just at the end of last year, when I was still complacent about my grades, Professor Dumbledore told me some stories about you. There are many talented wizards in Hogwarts, but there are few in all courses. If the accident did not happen, we might even have to call you a professor now."

"Really, really... Did Professor Dumbledore comment on me that way?"

Myrtle's sobbing gradually diminished, and she looked at Elena suspiciously.

"Well, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, anyway, he said that last year... Hey! Wait a minute-I'll just say it!"

Elena glanced at Myrtle, who seemed to be somewhat skeptical. Before she could raise a new question, her face suddenly changed. She quickly rose with a hint of anger, and looked at Myrtle who had just stopped sobbing aggressively.

"Is Professor Dumbledore actually lying to me?!"

"Yes, that's right! Absolutely! I was a little bit skeptical at the time, how could there be such a powerful wizard in this world as he said: never forgetting, it's like printing all the textbooks in my mind, no matter She can't be troubled by any assessments or tricky questions. The most outrageous thing is that she has been ranked first in all subjects of the year for several years..."

"Huh? Huh?"

What Myrtle hadn't had time to say, stopped in her mouth.

"It just happened to meet the master, now I can be regarded as grabbing Professor Dumbledore's handle!"

Elena said bitterly, her expression becoming more intense, her speech speed like a blast of firecrackers.

"This liar! I'll trouble him later! It's too much. I bet him on this matter before, but he actually colluded with other professors-because of this bet, I had more summer vacation than others. Double the job."

"Yes, but..."

Myrtle moved her lips hesitantly, her voice sounding like mosquitoes.

As if not paying attention to Myrtle's faint voice, Elena gritted her teeth while immersed in the drama.

"Don't worry, my grandpa is also working in the school now, we are not afraid of him-I hate liars the most!"

"But, but... it was me at the time, and I was indeed the first in grade..."
