Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

At this moment, Harry suddenly realized that he had wasted too much time here.

He quickly interrupted Nick who was almost headless:

"Why don't you try Professor Holmes?

I mean, didn't you say that the professor's magic could hurt ghosts?

You can ask him to separate your head from your body completely..."

Nearly Headless Nick froze.

I don’t know if it’s because of the idea or because of Holmes himself.

But Harry ignored him and said quickly:

"If you like, I can speak to Professor Holmes for you later.

You know, I'm going to his office for detention..."

Then he turned around and left.

From behind came the anxious voice of Nearly Headless Nick:

“No, no, no!

I mean, don't bother the professor.

I can solve it myself!

Mr. Potter, don't tell me!"

Just as Harry left, Mr. Filch came over, following the mud and dirty water dripping from his Quidditch robes.

The flesh on his double chin trembled and roared:

“There’s dirt everywhere, it’s a mess, I’ve had enough!

Mr. Ghost, was it Potter who went over just now? I heard you calling him.

I must catch him and punish him severely!

Professor McGonagall and Professor Holmes are so kind!"

Nearly Headless Nick said nothing and shrugged. Fortunately, Potter left early.

Otherwise, if he was caught by Filch at this critical juncture, it would definitely affect his ghost gathering.

Because Harry is the only living person who has agreed to attend their death anniversary party.

I almost forgot, he also agreed on behalf of his friend. What a good man!

As for Harry's suggestion, he went to see Professor Holmes.

Nearly Headless Nick said to hell with that idea.

Chapter 94 The Alarm Sounds

Halloween dinner.

The students below were happily eating the delicious food in front of them.

The decoration in the auditorium is no different from that of previous Halloweens.

A thousand bats fluttered on the walls and ceiling,

A thousand bats also flew and circled in low, dark clouds over the dining table, causing the candle flame in the pumpkin to flicker.

Douglas stared closely at the group of bats, afraid that they would fly over his head and shit.

Snape ate the food on his plate and said in a sarcastic tone:

"Hehe, do some people think bats are a delicacy?

Then why are there never any missing bat entrails or wings during my class?"

Douglas rolled his eyes, not consciously picking up the scolding.

Dumbledore seemed interested:

"I remember there was a kind of bat candy. It was tiny. When you put it in your mouth, it would hang upside down on the roof of your mouth. Once you opened your mouth, it would fly away..."

Almost no one responded to him. After all, when it came to candy, even the most delicious Hufflepuff couldn't say that he knew as much more than Dumbledore.

Douglas looked at the huge pumpkins that were almost big enough for three people to sit inside, and wondered if he should have some fun later.

Otherwise this dinner would be too boring.

In previous years, ghosts also performed, and occasionally Dumbledore would even invite some creatures that did not belong to the world of the living to perform.

For example, the Skeleton Dance Band.

However, Dumbledore did not invite the Skeleton Dance Band this year.

Everyone can only enjoy the delicious food in peace.

At this moment, Hagrid came up to Douglas and said in what he thought was a very low voice:

"Hey Douglas, those pumpkins are beautiful, aren't they? I grew them and carved them.

By the way, do you want to eat chicken tonight?"

Douglas was stunned!

Hagrid continued:

"When I came here just now, I found a dead rooster..."

Douglas frowned and asked:

"You mean one died, not several?"

Hagrid nodded, then shook his head.

“In fact, this is the second chicken that has died this semester.

I ate the first one...

Ahem... Weren't you busy at that time? That's why I didn't call you.

This time I was thinking of asking you to come over and help cast a spell around the chicken coop!

If these two chickens hadn't been taken away, I would have almost suspected you of doing it.

After all, you visit my chicken coop almost every day…”

Hearing Hagrid's words, the other professors all looked at Douglas.

But Douglas didn't care about that.

He suddenly couldn't understand the other party's operation.

Because he had always thought that the other party would kill all the chickens, but who would have thought that they would kill them one by one. What was the intention?

Is the basilisk afraid of the crowing of the rooster?

As for him, he would just go to the chicken coop every morning to take a look.

As long as the chickens are there, it's fine. Who would count chickens for fun? It's not like you really want to steal them.

However, recently whenever he had time, he would take out the Marauder's Map and observe it, but he didn't find anything unusual.

During this period, I also sneaked into the women's restroom twice, but there was no sign that the detector had been triggered.

According to what Hagrid said, the other party is very likely to take action tonight!

Thinking of this, he looked towards the four long tables of the college below.

But unfortunately, except for the three little ones he already knew, it was time for them to go to the ghost party.

There were still some people who did not attend the party.

After all, Christmas dinner is not compulsory.

There is no way to tell who this person is from the absence.

Moreover, many students have looked weak recently due to colds, and it is impossible to suspect everyone.

Seeing Douglas's strange expression, the others also looked towards the academy's desk.

Professor Sprout asked:

“Douglas, do you suspect that this was done by students?

But killing the chicken and not taking it away is a bit strange, isn't it?"

She thought Douglas was suspicious of Hufflepuff students.

After all, Hufflepuff students have a history of trouble when it comes to food.

The other professors thought Douglas was making a big deal out of nothing. Hagrid's hut was so close to the Forbidden Forest, it was normal for animals to steal food.

Douglas shook his head and smiled, changing the subject:

"No, I just think today's dinner is too quiet."

The other professors all curled their lips, thinking that his acting was too poor and no one really suspected him of stealing.

After all, what Hagrid found wasn't the remains of a cooked chicken, so it's possible he did it...

But then they found that they seemed to have wronged Douglas.

Douglas took out his wand and cast a spell on the big pumpkins without the students noticing.

Then, the pumpkins suddenly opened their mouths wide, laughed strangely, and flew towards the four long tables of the colleges.

This caused a commotion among the surrounding bats.

"Hahaha~ Trick or treat if you don't give me candy!"

The students below were startled at first, and then some of them quickly realized that this must be a regular feature of the night.

They excitedly picked up the candies and cookies on the table and threw them into the big pumpkin mouth.

Seeing everyone's surprised looks, Douglas shrugged his shoulders:

"Halloween should feel like Halloween!"

Professor Flitwick seemed to agree with Douglas, and he also drew his wand.

Soon the candle flames were suspended above the Hogwarts Great Hall.

Each one looked like a flame fairy or a ghost in the fire, jumping off the candles and dancing in the air.

Then they began to dance around the pumpkin lanterns, as if they were the naughty children.

The students in the auditorium all stretched their necks to watch the flames dance.

All but some of the professors watched the performance in the half-empty auditorium with great interest.

As for Care of Magical Zoology Professor Kettleburn,

He was very excited and suggested that some of the cute little animals he raised could participate and perform for everyone.

It took everyone's persuasion to stop it.

The professor once bewitched a fire ash snake at a Hogwarts banquet to act like an earthworm in the Fountain of Good Luck, which resulted in the entire hall being set on fire.

From then on, no one dared to let his little cuties perform any shows in the castle.

When the auditorium was bustling with activity,

Suddenly, a sharp and piercing voice rang out in the castle...

While everyone was still confused and looking around.

Douglas immediately stopped his spell and returned the pumpkin lanterns to their original positions.

Then he said to the headmaster and Professor McGonagall:

"Keep an eye on the students and don't let them leave the auditorium!"

After saying that, he ran towards the stairs.

At this point, he no longer cared about what everyone thought, or that Dumbledore would suspect him afterwards.

From the moment he decided to test it out with a practical class, he had already prepared excuses for all his actions.
