Hogwarts: From Luna's family to god

Chapter 150 Skeleton Dance Troupe

"Look! Something seems to have come out there!"

There was a commotion at the Hufflepuff table, directing the students to look at the teacher's table.

The open space in front of the teacher's table turned into a muddy ground, on which stood several tombstones. As the tombstones swayed and collapsed, several skeletons broke out of the ground.

These skeletons wore silver-glittering decorations on their necks and wrists. They lined up and came to the college table quickly.

Anthony on the side said, "This is the Skeleton Dance Troupe."

Vizet's eyes swept over these skeletons, "At least they used the levitation spell, and they should also use the transformation magic..."

The low sound of the organ sounded, and these skeletons danced to the rhythm of the music;

Their movements were sometimes stiff and weird, and sometimes full of wild vitality, as if they were walking on the edge of life and death.

With the addition of the sound of the bells, the skeletons' movements became more frantic. They threw their bones into the air and formed the emblems of the four colleges.

The bone emblems flew and circled in the air, emitting various colors;

either azure and bronze, or emerald green and silver, or warm yellow and dark black, or bright red and gold...

These colors are sometimes independent and sometimes merged, just like the crisp and ethereal sound of the bells, with a magical and mysterious feeling.

As the skeletons danced faster and faster, the whole auditorium was shrouded in gorgeous and blurred colors.

Just when the colors were about to become dazzling, the music stopped abruptly, the whole auditorium returned to calm, and the skeletons stopped dancing and stood quietly on the stage.

With the appearance and dissipation of a puff of smoke, the tombstone mud land disappeared, and a dozen white-haired wizards replaced it and appeared in the open space in front of the teacher's long table.

These wizards are the real members of the skeleton dance troupe. They all have smiles on their faces and keep waving to the students.

The auditorium erupted in thunderous applause, and everyone was cheering for the wonderful performance.

Vizet was naturally one of them. The Skeleton Dance Troupe did not use much magic, which was a combination of levitation and transformation magic.

The levitation spell controlled the movement of the skeletons, and the transformation magic was used to show different performances...

These two seemingly ordinary magics presented such an extraordinary stage effect. It was undoubtedly a very difficult thing that required long-term practice.

Vizet took out a notebook and wrote down his feelings. "Through a lot of practice and precise use of magic, grasp every detail and movement..."

"Finally, it is presented with levitation spell and transformation magic, which requires a high degree of concentration and control... It is important to dare to try... It also requires patience and perseverance..."

...

On the teacher's desk, Flitwick noticed Vizet taking notes, touched his beard and said: "Precise control... For spells, this is very important."

Professor McGonagall showed some envy in her eyes, "Yes... Obviously, Vizet understands this, he is really suitable for Ravenclaw!"

Just after shaking hands with the members of the Skeleton Dance Troupe, Lockhart returned to his seat and happened to hear Professor McGonagall's words.

He immediately showed his signature shining smile and said: "Suitable for Ravenclaw? Are you talking about me?"

Flitwick did not say anything, just looked straight ahead and watched the Skeleton Dance Troupe leave the hall.

Professor McGonagall also acted similarly, ignoring Lockhart, whose smile was getting more and more awkward.

Lockhart's embarrassment did not last long. Dumbledore left his seat and walked to the podium, announcing the official start of the Halloween dinner.

Dumbledore waved his hand, and a rich meal immediately appeared on the school's table.

Unlike the opening dinner, the various foods at the Halloween dinner were much more distinctive.

For example, the black pepper sauce that completely covered the surface of the steak, which was seasoned with squid ink, not only added a marine flavor, but also made the overall color much deeper, literally "dark cuisine".

On the school's table, there were also huge pumpkin-shaped cakes;

On the top of the cake were various tombstone-shaped chocolates, and a circle of bright red jam was sprinkled around the chocolate, which looked like the color of blood.

Next to the cake were plates of realistically decorated "eyeballs" and "fingers";

Although they looked creepy, they were actually finger biscuits, decorated with candies or chocolates to make them look bloody, as if they had just been chopped off.

In addition, there are many unique foods on the long table, such as chocolate bats that fly up when touched, chocolate spiders that spray peanut butter spider silk...

"Look! The professors seem to be drinking Coolik too!"

The sharp-eyed Hufflepuff discovered that Coolik also appeared on the teacher's table.

For Dumbledore, a sweet potion has a special appeal.

He also helped Professor McGonagall unscrew the bottle cap and demonstrated how to drink the drink.

As white smoke came out of his ears and head, Dumbledore laughed happily, and his long beard was trembling.

Even Snape unscrewed a bottle of Coolik, but he did not raise his head to drink it. Instead, he cast a magic to transfer the drink to the cup and tasted it lightly.

In this way, the students who paid attention to the teacher's table saw Snape's smile, a smile that came from pure happiness, a little unnatural but natural.

"Cool... Coolik!" Fred whistled, "Can you believe... Snape actually has such a smile?"

George laughed evilly and said, "I thought he could only smile evilly, slyly, slyly, and sarcastically... He only smiles but doesn't smile. I didn't expect that he also has an 'innocent' side."

Not only the Weasley twins did not expect it, but other students also did not expect that the mystery of the Coolick drink would rise to a new level in their hearts.

George's tone was filled with impatience, "I've asked the Ministry of Magic... When they complete the potion evaluation next week, Madam Pomfrey can issue Coolik!"

Fred rubbed his hands, "When the cloudy weather ends and the school hospital no longer supplies Coolik, it will be our turn to take the stage!"

This was the result of discussions between M·S·C. The two of them knew how to sell various prank props and were more experienced in how to buy and sell them.

The atmosphere in the auditorium was filled with joy and excitement, and students were immersed in the Halloween atmosphere while enjoying the delicious food.

Halloween dinner is simply about enjoying special foods and feeling the festive atmosphere.

After the students had eaten and drank, Dumbledore stood in front of the owl podium again, white smoke still coming from his forehead and ears.

When he saw the students' expressions of laughter, he also smiled, "I'm very happy... We can enjoy the Halloween dinner in full this year..."

He picked up the wand and raised it above his head, "Like the holiday gifts I prepared last year... I can distribute them to you smoothly this year..."

As he gently lifted the wand, the unburned candy candles turned into flames, and countless colorful candies fell...

Chapter 151 The whisper reappears

Seeing the students reaching out to grab the candies, Dumbledore added: "Don't worry if the candies are from last year, because last year's candies have been well eaten..."

Madam Pomfrey looked forward, her eyebrows raised high, her eyes extremely sharp.

Dumbledore seemed to sense something. He coughed lightly and said calmly: "It will be the same this year...the remaining candies will also be eaten properly..."

Hearing these words, Professor McGonagall shook her head helplessly and whispered softly: "Albus, you still have to do what you can..."

Dumbledore seemed to hear her words and raised his hand and waved it slightly.

Snape crossed his arms, his eyes full of sarcasm, as if to say, "I'll show you what good medicine tastes like."

…

The students left the auditorium one after another, but Colin Creevey went upstream and came to the teacher's desk.

He held up the Polaroid and asked with a bit of excitement and a bit of timidity; "Professor... Principal... can I take a picture of you?"

"This potion is indeed very interesting." Dumbledore looked at the door of the auditorium. Fred and George made a face, and then smiled brightly.

He seemed to understand something, nodded and squatted down, "How do you plan to take a photo? Are you planning to take a group photo?"

"The camera is an amazing invention. Why don't you let me try it? My hands are a little longer than yours now..."

Colin was shaking all over, obviously not expecting Dumbledore to be so easy-going, and stammered to explain.

"Deng... Principal Dumbledore... this is the shutter... this is the mirror... lens, then press... press..."

…

Weizet and Luna followed the team out of the auditorium and met the Weasley twins who were making faces, "Aren't you going back?"

Fred bared his teeth and said, "We have to wait a little longer, the idea of ​​'spurring marketing' is great!"

George looked at Colin who was taking pictures, "Use Dumbledore to promote it, I have already seen the golden galleon waving to us!"

Luna asked curiously: "Taking advantage of marketing?"

Fred nodded, "Yes! This method is written in a book written by Muggles, and we are practicing it now!"

Weizet said sincerely: "Mr. Arthur Weasley really likes Muggles, and he has even read books on this subject, which is really admirable."

"Dad does like Muggles, but he prefers to study Muggle items in daily life." George explained, "As for that book... it is a dark magic tool that dad collected..."

Weizet continued to ask: "Dark magic props? Is there any curse on it?"

"There is no curse..." Fred waved his hand, "According to Dad, someone tampered with the book and mixed some Belladonna magic powder."

"Belladonna magic powder?" Weizet raised his eyebrows, "It has certain hallucinogenic properties...is it for a prank?"

"Yes! Some wizards like this." George nodded, "Buy some books that Muggles are interested in, and then mix hallucinogenic potions into them."

Fred said: "When Muggles buy books and read them at home, they will have some hallucinations and all kinds of daydreams due to inhaling these potions."

"For example, the book about 'spurry marketing', its previous owner... seemed to have had a dream about getting rich... dreamed of meeting the Prime Minister of England..."

"At this time, wizards will appear at the Muggles' windows, just lying there and watching... They like to see Muggles daydreaming."

Weizet frowned and said, "How disgusting!"
