Days wandering around Hogwarts

Chapter 460 Pot falls from the sky
On Halloween Eve, the cafeteria was filled with pumpkin elements. Dozens of pumpkin lanterns with different expressions were floating in the air, and groups of bats were flying between pumpkins and candles.

What’s even more exciting is that the candidates participating in the Triwizard Tournament will be announced after tonight’s dinner.

The students rushed into the cafeteria eagerly, and everyone and the ghosts were discussing this matter, and exchanging information with each other about who had put their names into the Goblet of Fire in the past few days.

"Can't we just be quiet during the holidays?"

Charles sighed deeply, frowned, and felt the urge to hit someone.

The Goblet of Fire will announce the names of the candidates tonight, and Dumbledore will definitely be in the cafeteria. It's a good time to cause trouble.

At this moment, the entrance to Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets was opened again.

Myrtle was very nervous and paced around the bathroom, saying "What should I do?"

Charles was called by her on the way to the cafeteria. After thinking for a moment, he said to Myrtle, "I'll go down and take a look. If I'm not back before the end of the dinner, I'll tell Professor Dumbledore."

He was also a little worried. What if Slytherin put more than just the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets?

It would be terrible if any precious cultural relics of commemorative value were lost abroad. It is better to keep them at home.

At this moment, Charles's thinking became British.

It was time for dinner. At the table, the Gryffindor students suddenly realized that Charles had not arrived yet, and even Ruby was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's Charles?" Seamus looked around but couldn't find anyone.

Harry said mysteriously, "He might have secretly thrown his name into the Goblet of Fire when no one was around."

Everyone thought it made sense because Ruby also disappeared, and many people speculated that he asked Ruby for help.

Ron picked up a chicken drumstick and ate it while saying, "Maybe he's crying in the bathroom because Hermione is mad at him."

Then his foot was stepped on hard by Hermione, and his expression suddenly twisted.

Everyone was talking and laughing while eating the pumpkin dinner, but halfway through the meal, Charles still hadn't come back.

Many people didn't take it seriously, saying that he must have been caught by the golden circle and would be let down soon.

On the other side, Charles did not directly drill into the pipe leading to the secret room because there was a Japanese devil's snare planted by him at the other end.

The Devil's Snare stretches out its vines to wrap around anyone who approaches it, then strangles them tightly, causing injury or death to the victim.

If the victim stops struggling, the Devil's Snare will assume the prey is dead and will loosen the vines.

But what Charles planted here was the imported Japanese devil's snare. The biggest difference between it and other devil's snares is that the vines will secrete mucus that corrodes animal hair or clothes. Secondly, it will sow seeds deep inside the prey's body, making it a great enemy of young witches.

Charles asked Ruby to take him to the secret room. It was quiet and empty, but screams and cries for help could be heard from afar.

He turned on the night vision function of his glasses, took out his wand, and walked carefully to the other end of the pipe.

The Japanese Devil's Snare caught a person, the vines tightly wrapped around me, the magic wand fell to the ground, and the tip of the wand emitted a faint light.

Charles curled his lips. It was actually a man. It would have been great if it was Helen or Helena. He turned out to be Helena's fiancé.

"Bonham Carter?" He recognized the man, one of the students who had suddenly appeared at Durmstrang.

"Help me!" Carter shouted loudly when he heard someone coming.

His situation was very bad at the moment. This strange plant seemed to be very interested in his body. It not only wanted to kill him, but also wanted to have sex with him.

Charles said expressionlessly: "This is not the place for you to come."

Carter shouted hurriedly: "I know, I'll leave right away!"

Charles had no intention of saving him and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Carter stopped talking for a moment. From his expression, it was clear that he was hesitating and struggling, and that he was having a fierce battle in his heart.

Charles waited quietly for half a minute, said nothing, then turned and left.

Carter yelled, "I say, I say!"

Charles ignored him and continued to leave.

He has not yet reached the point of despair, so who knows what he will say to fool himself.

In the cafeteria, Ron took a portion of what looked like fried pumpkin strips and took a bite. It tasted sweet and sour.

"How can it be cooked this way? It's both sour and sweet." Ron was not used to the taste.

Harry took a look and said, "This sweet and sour pumpkin should be an Italian dish. I saw Charles make it. It seems that he fried pumpkin strips and mixed them with sugar, mint leaves, cinnamon powder and white wine vinegar. He ate it with meat."

Ron picked up a chicken leg, took a bite of meat and a bite of sweet and sour pumpkin, and thought it was pretty good.

Speaking of Charles, Harry noticed that he had not returned yet, so he said, "Shall we save a dinner for Charles?"

Everyone around him looked at him as if he were a fool.

Harry also came to his senses. Is there anything more stupid in the world than leaving dinner for a restaurant owner?

At this time, Fleur and Erica came over one after another and asked why Charles was missing.

They were still talking about some bad topics at noon, and now that he was gone, they were a little worried about his safety.

But no one knew where Charles was. After a while, Dumbledore also discovered this problem.

Being late for dinner was common, but that didn't include Ruby.

Now that dinner was almost over and neither Ruby nor Charles showed up, something was definitely wrong.

But Dumbledore was not worried that Charles would encounter any danger. With the ruby, escape would not be a problem.

Suddenly, Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, his face twisted a little, and his crooked nose became straightened.

Professor McGonagall noticed his abnormality and asked, "Albus, is your throat choked?"

Dumbledore leaned over and whispered, "I suspect Charles went to ask the Ruby to help put his name in the Goblet of Fire."

Professor McGonagall's mouth twitched. When discussing how to guard against naughty children, all kinds of factors were taken into consideration, but no one had thought of this.

Firstly, there are too few phoenixes. Secondly, Charles was busy with business, fertilizer experiments, and alchemy experiments last year. He looked so obedient that people forgot that he was the unstable factor who could get along well with the Dementors and tricked Grindelwald out of the mountain.

Professor McGonagall asked in a low voice: "What should we do?"

Dumbledore shook his head helplessly and said, "Perhaps he has already done it."

"I should have brought the Goblet of Fire here first, instead of after the dinner."

"Well, if he really did something like that, only you can discipline him."

After he said that, he raised an eyebrow at his best friend.

In the secret room, an unknown amount of time passed. Carter's shouts were filled with despair, and Charles finally appeared from the darkness again.

Charles said, "You only have one chance."

Carter immediately said: "It is said that there is a very powerful magical force in Hogwarts that appeared a hundred years ago. I want to find it!"

Charles just snorted.

Carter thought he didn't believe it, so he continued to shout: "I didn't lie to you. Although this matter has been erased, some wizard families in the UK and abroad have mentioned this matter!"

"One hundred years ago, there was a very powerful wizard in Hogwarts. Legend has it that he placed his power in Hogwarts Castle!"

Charles sighed inwardly, they really came to seek the old man's power.

He said in a cold voice: "Go back and tell the mastermind behind you that this is not something he or she can control."

Carter nodded hastily and shouted, "I understand, I will!"

"Please put me down, it...it wants to..."

Charles raised his wand and knocked the man and the Japanese Devil's Snare unconscious one after another. He then used the glue spell to stick Carter's wand to him, stuffed the man into the pipe, and finally cast the clear spring water spell on the pipe.

A strong stream of water spurted out of the wand, carrying Carter all the way to Myrtle's territory.

Charles asked Ruby to take him to the bathroom, said hello to Myrtle, and then went to the cafeteria.

He hadn't finished his meal yet and his stomach was growling with hunger.

The door to the cafeteria was closed. Charles pushed it open, but no one noticed him.

The Goblet of Fire was placed in front of the professor's seat, with red flames burning around it and sparks constantly splashing out like an erupting volcano.

A long flame suddenly shot up into the air, and a piece of parchment emerged from it.

Everyone was stunned, because the names of Viktor Krum, Fleur Delacour and Cedric Diggory had just popped out of the Goblet of Fire, and no one expected that there would be a fourth person.

The entire cafeteria suddenly became quiet, with only the crackling sound of the Goblet of Fire spewing sparks.

Suddenly, Harry's excited but deliberately suppressed voice rang out: "Hey, it must have been Charles who did it!"

The cafeteria was suddenly buzzed with laughter, and many people laughed out loud.

Almost everyone - including the professors - thought Harry was right.

In particular, Ruby actually ran to the Goblet of Fire and flew around it a few times.

Charles realized that he was too late, so late that he closed the door and ran away before anyone noticed him.

This pot is not fun to play with, we have to get rid of it, and for that we have to catch Bonham Carter.

He ran to the bathroom, but it was empty; the Carters had woken up and left.

This is outrageous, arrest the person immediately!
In the cafeteria, Dumbledore sighed inwardly and reached out to grab the four pieces of parchment from where the Goblet of Fire had spit out.

He unfolded the parchment and stared at the name written on it with extreme seriousness.

The cafeteria fell silent again, and everyone looked at Dumbledore with curiosity and anticipation. Dumbledore stared at the note for a full minute.

Finally, as everyone waited, Dumbledore cleared his throat and read aloud:

"Seamus Finnigan!"
