Hogwarts: From Luna's family to god

In the next week, as Halloween approaches, the festive atmosphere in the school becomes more intense.

As supplies of pick-me-ups grew, the effects of the flu began to subside.

The smell of raw pumpkins filled the stairwell as Hagrid began carving those giant pumpkins.

After carving a huge pumpkin, Hagrid would put down his ax and hammer, pick up a huge glass bottle, and drink from it.

Seeing the smile on Hagrid's face and the white smoke coming out of his ears, many Hufflepuffs would stop.

They were all curious to know what Hagrid was drinking, why he was experiencing symptoms similar to those of a pick-me-up, and why there were bubbles coming out of the bottle.

When someone asked, Hagrid would introduce Coolick in a brisk tone. In addition to explaining that Coolick could prevent influenza, he also focused on the taste and texture.

This latter feature is what Hufflepuffs are most concerned about.

"You said it could be paired with potato chips? It would taste particularly good?"

"Can it also be paired with grilled chicken legs and fried chicken legs? Is it true?"

In addition to curious inquiries, of course there are also voices of doubt, and these voices happen to come from students from Muggle families.

"Isn't it just soda? I've seen it a lot in department stores!"

"It looks like it's imitating Sprite...it's really not that unusual."

In the face of doubts, counterarguments also appeared.

"But you can smoke after drinking it! Could it be that... Bi can do that too?"

"Yes, this is a magical drink! It's definitely different from the Muggle drink!"

"You just said that Sprite is a drink like butterbeer. Can it also prevent the flu?"

As the number of discussions increased, Coolik also spread and gained a certain degree of popularity.

Facing the continuous rainy weather, drinks that can combine fun and preventive effects will naturally attract the attention of many people.

But no matter how much they inquired, they couldn't find out how to obtain Coolik from Hagrid's mouth.

Even Harry and the others hit a wall here with Hagrid.

"Hagrid has changed..." Ron looked incredulous, "He actually... didn't let it slip!"

"We should think about the death anniversary party..." Harry looked at the huge pumpkin lantern, feeling a little depressed, "Tonight..."

Hermione reminded: "But 'Nearly Headless Nick' helped you. This is what he made an appointment with you, isn't it?"

Chapter 149 The same Halloween dinner

"What's Halloween Dinner like at Hogwarts?"

"I was late for last year's Halloween dinner, and I was attacked by a troll when I arrived at the auditorium. So... I haven't seen how the Halloween dinner is decorated."

"Then we have the same expectations!"

"Yes! This time, we shouldn't encounter trolls. We should jump..."

There are many variations of moving stairs. Some stairs will become wider and narrower from time to time, swaying, and some stairs will suddenly disappear...

In fact, not only the moving stairs move, but also the portraits hanging on the walls, and from time to time other portraits will visit;

Even the armors can also move. Especially in order to match the Halloween atmosphere, the armors will suddenly stomp their feet and make loud noises to scare people.

After this period of familiarity, Luna also relied on a simple map to gradually understand the various rules of moving stairs.

Before Wizette could finish her words, she had already taken a step forward.

The two of them slowly walked down the moving stairs like a hopscotch.

…

The rainy weather has not ended yet and is even getting worse.

The rain fell like thousands of silver threads. They crackled on the windows and rolled down into pea-like raindrops, like crystal bead curtains.

The area around the castle was getting even wetter, and there was a large puddle on the way to the auditorium.

Ron tiptoed across the puddle, "I hope there is a fireplace in the basement, otherwise it would be too scary..."

There was a hint of uncertainty in Harry's tone, "I hope they will notice...it is said to be a banquet of pure ghosts."

Hermione consoled her: "Think of the bright side! Those are all people who lived for who knows how many years in the past... Ghosts, how historically significant they are! Isn't it?"

Harry sighed and expressed pessimism about this, "If Professor Binns also goes, I will probably fall asleep immediately the first time I see him."

"It might be meaningful...right?" Seeing Hermione raise her eyebrows, Ron swallowed his saliva, "I wonder what food they prepared for the banquet...will there be chicken drumsticks?"

…

"Invulnerable to fire and water!" Luna picked up the wand, tapped her robe, and then tapped her boots.

"Next it's your turn! Invulnerable to water and fire!" She stretched out her wand to Wizette and followed the same pattern with a serious expression.

Weizet stepped on a small puddle, and the water droplets splashed towards his robe. Before they touched the robe, they condensed into particles the size of mung beans and returned to the embrace of the puddle.

He repeatedly praised: "This time I used it very well, even more skillfully than me."

Luna smiled as brightly as the sun and walked side by side with Vizette.

The Water and Fire Invulnerability Curse is a magic spell in the "Book of Spells" that can provide waterproofing effect. If the annotation next to it is correct, it can also prevent scalding.

Compared to various attack types of magic, Wizette actually prefers this type of magic, which can really help life.

Weizet and Luna walked for a while and saw Harry and his party in front of them.

The three of them were walking on tiptoe, trying to avoid stepping into puddles and splashing themselves.

Wizette shouted: "Harry, haven't you gone to the dinner party yet?"

Harry turned around, "We're going to a dinner party...but a death anniversary dinner."

Wizette nodded, "Death anniversary dinner? That's really an important moment... The ghost who invited you should care about you especially."

Harry smiled bitterly and said, "I do care. It was 'Nearly Headless Nick' who invited me to attend his 500th death anniversary dinner."

Hermione noticed that Wizette and the others were stepping in the water, but the splashing water did not soak into the shoes. She couldn't help but asked curiously: "You enchanted the shoes?"

"Yes, the Water and Fire Invulnerability Curse is quite practical." Weizet nodded and said, "I learned it from the Book of Spells. You can look it up."

Not long after, Anthony ran over and said, "Vizete, you are here! Penelo just asked me where you have been..."

"I said you were behind us at that time, but when we arrived at the auditorium, we found that you were gone, but Fred and George were also in the auditorium."

The team suddenly grew larger. Anthony gestured as he walked: "Vizert, did you know? There are quite a lot of programs tonight. Principal Dumbledore invited the Skeleton Dance Troupe..."

When they arrived at the door of the auditorium, Weizet waved to Harry and the others, "Then let's go first. Happy Halloween!"

Harry and the others also waved and said: "Happy Halloween..."

…

Harry and Ron looked towards the auditorium. The decorations inside were very attractive, tugging at their heartstrings and making them want to enter the auditorium.

Hermione reminded Harry again: "'Nearly Headless Nick' cares about you, let's go!"

Away from the auditorium, the warmth seemed to be leaving them too.

As they got closer to their destination, Harry and the others heard a sharp sound, which was so harsh that their hairs seemed to stand on end.

The surrounding light became dim, and Ron looked at Harry's increasingly gloomy face and murmured: "Look at your face... I feel like you are about to become a ghost..."

Harry shrugged, "You're actually about the same..."

Ron took a deep breath and immediately retched, "Merlin's stinky socks overnight! What did I smell just now? How could it be so..."

Before Ron could finish speaking, an eerie voice appeared, "Welcome... dear friends."

The almost headless Nick slowly floated in front of the three of them, "I didn't expect you all to come. I'm so happy! Come with me!"

Led by Nearly Headless Nick, Harry and the others walked into the dinner party and suddenly felt a little trance-like.

Everything around is in cold colors, black candles, blue candlelight, harsh and terrifying mourning music, ghosts dancing in the air...

It was as if they were entering the world of the dead.

Although winter has not yet come, every time they exhale, they can see the heat dissipating into white mist in the air.

"Good news! There are chicken legs!" Ron quickly came to the table, his voice was hysterical, "Bad news! There are maggots!"

…

In order to welcome the arrival of Halloween, the decoration around the auditorium has been completely renewed, with special Halloween decorations everywhere.

In addition to the huge pumpkin lantern in the corner, countless bats were flying around on the ceiling, which looked very lively.

The candles on the ceiling turned into candy shapes, and as the candle flame melted the candles, the dripping wax actually turned into candy.

While waiting for the dinner to begin, the students would look up from time to time to see if any candy had suddenly arrived.

"Caught it!" Luna held up a large piece of nougat in a show-off manner.

She broke the nougat in half and put one half into Wizette's mouth, "I didn't expect Halloween dinner to be so interesting!"

"Yeah, it's not spooky at all." Wizette nodded and handed the sizzling honey candy he just caught to Luna...
