The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 99 Banquet Preparations
Soon it was a week before Halloween. At noon that day, after delivering a large package of Muggle novels to Mr. Wolfe and taking back the books I had lent him last time, I ran into Colin Creevey in the corridor of the castle with a message from Nick: gather at the designated location at 7pm.

It seems that Nick's Halloween party preparations are about to begin, Ryan thought as he returned to the common room and ran into Hermione waiting for him.

Because when they last met Mr. Wolfe, he said that life in the Forbidden Forest was too boring and asked if they had any entertainment methods. Hermione, who likes reading, suggested that reading is a good entertainment.

So Ryan and Hermione lent Wolfe some leisure books that they brought to school at that time, and they discussed for a while what kind of books Wolfe liked more. So Hermione now blocked Ryan and wanted to know what Wolfe's taste in reading was.

"Wolf said he liked all his books because he was so bored before, but now he wants to read any piece of paper with words on it five times."

"It seems that he is a studious wolf. Next time I can ask my father to send my encyclopedia to him." Hermione has a good impression of all creatures who love learning. Even if he is a wolf, she is willing to satisfy this wolf's thirst for knowledge.

Soon the day's classes were over, and except for Lockhart's drama performance class, all other classes were fine. I really don't understand why Dumbledore asked such a person to be a teacher. Was it to tell everyone what a typical failure is?

After dinner, Ryan immediately rushed to the Room of Requirement to start preparing a feast for ghosts.

After entering the room, he found that Nick had been waiting there with five or six dishes. Each dish was piping hot and looked better than the ones in the cafeteria. Come to think of it, even if the house elves had such magical powers, they couldn't make the big pot meals in the cafeteria as exquisite and delicious as the individually prepared meals.

Then Ryan began to cast a spell, and after more than half an hour he finally successfully transformed the six dishes on the table into soul state.

At this time, Ryan took out the talisman paper and pasted it on the plates, and then told Nick to let the elves move the plates to the designated locations, but never remove the talisman paper. Because the talisman paper allowed these plates in the physical state to hold soul food, and once the talisman paper was removed, they would not be able to be moved.

After making these foods, Ryan tasted the remaining food and found that although the appearance of these foods had not changed, they had lost all their flavor and tasted like chewing plastic.

Afterwards, Ryan, who was a little tired, sat on the sofa and chatted with Nick. Suddenly, Ryan thought of the ghosts that Nick knew were distributed all over the UK. Some of them were even witnesses of some important historical events. Maybe he could ask them something interesting.

So Ryan asked Nick: "By the way, can I attend your party as a living person?"

Nick was a little surprised after hearing this and said, "I would welcome you very much, but I think you might prefer the school party to our gloomy party. So I didn't dare to invite you. This party is not just for you, you can even invite your friends to come together. I think the more people, the better."

After returning to the common room, Ryan announced this matter to the study group, but most of the students did not want to attend the party. For example, Ron, who was doing his homework for the potions class, thought it was strange to celebrate the day of his own death. He thought the party would be very boring. Most other students also held this view.

But Hermione told Ryan that she would go. After all, she hadn't found many living people who had attended such a party in the book. Not to mention that Ryan told her that many eyewitnesses of important events in the book would also attend the party.

The next day, when Ryan went to the Room of Requirement, Hermione followed him because she was curious about how Ryan turned human food into ghost food.

Nick expressed his sincere gratitude to Hermione for her participation. When Ryan cast the spell, Hermione kept staring at Ryan and tried to learn the tricks. Unfortunately, the language barrier was not enough, and she couldn't understand what Ryan said in Chinese. In the end, Hermione had to give up the plan to learn this magic that she had never seen before, but at the same time she also felt the magic of oriental magic, and complained that there were only very few records about the oriental world in Hogwarts, which could not satisfy her curiosity at all.

Two days before Halloween, Ryan and Hermione walked into the Room of Requirement and saw Nick spinning in the air with an anxious look on his face.

Ryan saw this and quickly asked, "What happened? I see you're a little frustrated."

"I made a big mistake." Nick said with some self-blame. "Because I wanted everyone to taste a variety of delicious food, I prepared different dishes for each one. But today I realized that everyone didn't have any cutlery. So how are we going to eat these steaks? We can't just take a bite each. But if we cut them and then switch them, there won't be enough time. What should I do now!"

After listening to Nick's words, Ryan asked, "Isn't it said that ghosts can carry things from their lifetime?"

"Yes, but no one would carry cutlery with them before they die. Not to mention that in my time, everyone used knives to cut food and then ate with their hands. Forks were not yet popular. In more ancient times, such as the time of the Slytherin, there were no knives and forks."

"Don't worry, I have a way." Ryan pulled out a straw sword from his space bag, bit the tip of his index finger and smeared the blood on the sword.

Hermione saw that after the blood was applied, the sword seemed to flash faintly, but when she looked closely, she found that the sword seemed to have no changes.

Then Ryan held the hilt of the sword and cut the steak in soul state on the table, and the steak was cut into two pieces.

"How did you do that?" Hermione asked in surprise, eyes wide open.

"I just tried it, but I didn't expect it to be so effective. After all, the book only said that the calamus sword can kill evil spirits. It is an Eastern weapon used to drive away evil spirits, but the book didn't say it can do this."

After hearing Ryan's words, Nick suddenly rushed over. Even though Ryan quickly put away his sword, the blade still cut a small cut on the back of Nick's hand.

Seeing Nick staring at the wound on the back of his hand in a daze, Ryan thought he was worried about his serious injury, so he quickly told him: "The calamus sword is the same to ghosts as ordinary swords are to human bodies. You are just like us ordinary people who got stabbed. It will heal in a few days. Don't worry too much."

Unexpectedly, after hearing these words, Nick suddenly knelt down on one knee, clasped his hands together and said, "Mr. Liang, I want to ask you for something. Please agree to it."
