Chapter 41 [Ghost Crying Wolf Howling Halloween (Green)]
Ted went back to the dormitory, put down his schoolbag, and went to the old place with his guitar.
Sure enough, before finishing playing a piece of music, Helena appeared.
"Did you find anything last night?" She asked urgently, her voice still a little ethereal.
Ted hesitated, "I'm not sure. It may be some magic left by Ms. Ravenclaw..."
"Mother..." Helena couldn't hold back her emotions anymore, bright silver teardrops slipped from her eyes, dripped to the ground and disappeared.
"I miss her so much, I want to say sorry to her. I failed her expectations..." Helena's sadness overflowed her eyes, dripped and disappeared.
How to comfort a ghost that has existed for thousands of years?
With Ted's superficial psychic knowledge, and Muggles' less than a hundred years of psychological research, they can't touch this issue.
He could only listen to her cries silently, narrating the past thousands of years ago.
She said that she was jealous of her mother's reputation at the beginning, and wanted to become smarter and more famous than her mother. She thought that she could get her wisdom by stealing her mother's crown, so that she died tragically in Albania. To the seriously ill mother.
He even said that he was deceived by a Slytherin student forty or fifty years ago and told the other party the whereabouts of the diadem. That's Voldemort...
Ted could only hold the guitar and look at her, and couldn't even give her a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
"Well, it feels better to say it. I've been holding these words in my head for many, many years... Let's talk about my mother's statue. It's been years since no one found out that she was enchanted." Helena strengthened.
That is indeed a very unusual statue, it is a bust of Ravenclaw not wearing the legendary crown, but with hair scattered.
The reason why it can survive for thousands of years is that the material is better on the one hand, and the magic of the castle is maintaining it on the other hand.
Ted touched his face, "Maybe it's not ordinary magic, it's more like a cloud of thoughts..."
He couldn't tell what it was, but he noticed a special emotion through the underlying mind consciousness. Rather than ordinary magic power fluctuations.
Otherwise, every generation of Ravenclaw deans are top talents, and it is impossible to be unaware. It can only be said that it is a field that is very different from the current magic system, and even closer to psychic powers.
These words seemed to bring back some memories of Helena, she was silent for a moment, and said: "In the last few years, my mother really put down rune casting and many ancient magics, and instead studied some unusual magics. , I think I need some time to find out..."
"Thank you, Ted." She thanked Ted, turned and walked away through the wall.
…
The class in the afternoon passed too quickly, and in the anticipation of the evening, the little wizards slipped away as if they had no memory of it.
Even just after class, Ron and Jerry in the corridor forgot what class they were just taking!
But it doesn't matter, because after two months of enrollment, the first festival and banquet will come.
The excited atmosphere in the castle is burning up~
Dinner time will be later because of the dinner party today.
Ted and the six of them were stunned as soon as they came to the auditorium.
The entire auditorium is resplendent and resplendent illuminated by countless candlelight and braziers.
On the ceiling of the auditorium, a large group of bats flew around the walls, and from time to time, a single bat hit the wall and disappeared.
They are all created by magic.
A lot of pumpkins carved into ghost faces are piled up beside the walls and tables, and some jack-o-lanterns are floating in mid-air, turning around.
The pumpkin cakes on the table have been stacked high, and they are steaming, a special sweet smell is desperately drilled into your nostrils, causing saliva to accumulate involuntarily, and then swallowed with a "gudong".
"Ding ~ trigger festival tasks:
【Ghost Cry Wolf Howl Halloween (Green)】
That's it? That's it? That's it? Eat some pumpkin pie, drink some pumpkin juice, watch bats fly around, touch jack-o-lanterns? Halloween isn't like this! If it were in the Muggle world, the school would have been sprayed to death long ago! Show them what a real Halloween is!
Goal: Scare 10 people before the dinner party ends.
Progress: 0/10.
Reward: 200 experience, card [Ghost Cloak (Green)].
Put on a pumpkin hat, auspicious around the head; put on a ghost costume, good luck inhabits; wear superman pants, happiness can not be hidden; step on big boots, more happiness~”
Ted was awakened by the system, looked at the task carefully, thought for a moment, and whispered to his friends: "Friends, I think this is too common..."
"Is this normal?" Ron's eyes widened—is your request too high? !
Ted said: "As a new generation of wizards, we have the responsibility to make Halloween more interesting. I have a plan..."
Jerry: That sounds like a Gryffindor.
Harry: Did you steal my lines?
Ted: Come here with your ears, we are so, so, so...
Just when most of the students had already arrived, they had already tasted the pumpkin pie, and began to wait for the dinner to officially start.
Suddenly, a scream sounded.
The students were caught off guard, Qiqi turned to look at the place where the scream appeared.
Seeing a side door, a **** face appeared. I couldn't tell who it was, but it was obviously a student from the clothes and figure.
He seemed to be about to escape in, but an iron-blue muscular ghost claw grabbed the back of his neck, and then a **** ax smashed on his head!
"Bang~" The boy's "corpse" fell to the ground with an ax on his forehead, and blood spread under his body.
A scary grimace the size of a wheel pokes in from the door!
At the same time, a "piercing" wind blew in from nowhere, and all the students who were still in a daze suddenly shuddered.
Then, as if waking up from a dream, more than ten or twenty screams sounded at the same time, almost piercing the transparent ceiling of the auditorium!
In an instant, the light in the entire hall was dimmed. Under the flickering lights, there were countless little wizards crying and howling, almost crawling everywhere to escape for their lives.
"Ding~ Complete the task [Ghost Crying Wolf Howling Halloween (Green)], reward: 200 experience, card [Ghost Cloak (Green)]."
【Ghost Cloak (Green)】
Prop card
Wear: Disguised as a ghost, walking silently.
Note: No matter how similar the appearance is, there is no way to pass through the wall, so don't try it.
Then, a voice sounded: "Quiet!"
The voice was familiar to everyone, as if it had some kind of soothing ability, it calmed down the students who were so frightened that they were about to run away.
It's Dumbledore!
He and a few professors had appeared in the professor's chair without a sound.
Ted quickly waved to his friends in the dark: Go! It's too late!
He is ready to take the blame, since the task has been completed anyway.
However, how could Snape let the brat go? ! He wished he could boil all the brats in the cauldron.
So, no one ran away, including Hermione.
"Oh, it's our Miss Know-It-All and Mr. Know-It-All, and..." He glanced at Harry, and a feeling of hatred was brewing.
"And a bunch of trolls from Gryffindor!"
"Let me think about it, how should I punish you? Scaring the students, trying to ruin the school's Halloween dinner, I suggest expulsion!"
Mad, Ted rolled his eyes when he heard it—are you still shameless? Why don't you just sentence us Azkaban to life imprisonment!
The professors naturally couldn't let Snape do this.
Dumbledore pointed to his throat with his wand, and silently used the Amplifying Charm (loud voice): "Students, keep quiet. This is just a little joke my friends played with you on Halloween. I think it's quite interesting." of."
At this time, the students finally discovered that they and others were deceived!
The "dead body" who gets the ax is played by Jerry.
The ghost pretending to be head-splitting is Ron riding Neville's neck, and the two played together.
That big grimace was conjured by Ted with Transfiguration, and Harley manipulated it behind.
Ted really didn’t watch so many ghost movies for nothing, this wheel ghost face is really scary.
As soon as it conjured up, Neville and Ron, who saw it appear with their own eyes, trembled in fright.
And that "biting wind" was formed by Ted using the Freezing Curse to create cold, and Hermione using the Hurricane Curse to induce air flow.
The Weasley twins teamed up to use the Extinction Charm. Although they couldn't completely extinguish the large number of candles and braziers in the auditorium, they could suppress the flames for a short time and greatly reduce the brightness.
And Lee Jordan is the atmosphere group, responsible for screaming in the crowd, leading everyone to panic and not think rationally.
If the professors hadn't appeared suddenly, Ted and the others might have scared the students to pee their pants this time.
Ted's task was completed in an instant. He didn't choose to scare everyone, but did a big job. There were at least a hundred people who were frightened just now.
Overfulfilling the task belongs to yes!
At this time, Professor McGonagall came out: "You guys almost ruined the Halloween party, Gryffindor deducted 20 points!"
Professor Flitwick naturally has to say that although there are only two students in his college, according to Ted's frank confession, he is the mastermind. So Ravenclaw also deducted 20 points!
Ted looked at the task: [Student career without deductions is incomplete (blue)], the progress has reached 75/100!
Ted: I really want to laugh~
If you have a monthly pass, can you give me two~
