Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 41 [Ghosts and Wolves Howling Halloween (Green)]

Ted returned to the dormitory, put down his schoolbag, and went to the old place with his guitar.

Sure enough, Helena appeared before the song was even finished.

"Did you discover anything last night?" she asked eagerly, her voice still a little vague.

Ted hesitated. "I'm not sure. It could be some magic left by Ms. Ravenclaw..."

"Mother..." Helena could no longer hold back her emotions. Bright silver tears rolled down her eyes, dripped onto the ground and disappeared.

"I miss her so much, I want to say sorry to her. I failed her expectations..." Helena's sadness kept overflowing from her eyes, dripping and disappearing.

How do you comfort a ghost that has existed for a thousand years?

With Ted's limited knowledge of psychic powers and the Muggles' less than a hundred years of psychological research, they were unable to touch upon this issue.

He could only listen to her crying and recounting the events of a thousand years ago in silence.

She talked about how she was jealous of her mother's fame and wanted to be smarter and more famous than her mother. She thought she could gain her wisdom by stealing her mother's crown. She died tragically in Albania and was never able to see her seriously ill mother.

He even said that he was deceived by a Slytherin student forty or fifty years ago and told him the whereabouts of the crown. That is Voldemort...

Ted could only look at her with his guitar in his arms, and couldn't even offer her a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

"Okay, it feels better now. I've kept these words in my heart for many, many years... Let's talk about my mother's statue. No one has discovered that she was enchanted for all these years." Helena became strong.

It was indeed a very ordinary statue, a bust of Ravenclaw without the legendary crown, but with loose hair.

The reason why it has survived for thousands of years is, on the one hand, because of its relatively good material, and on the other hand, because of the magic of the castle that maintains it.

Ted touched his face and said, "Maybe it's not ordinary magic, but more like a bunch of thoughts..."

He couldn't tell what it was, but he sensed a special emotion through his underlying mental consciousness, rather than the usual fluctuations of magic power.

Otherwise, the headmaster of each generation of Ravenclaw is a top talent, and it is impossible that he did not notice it. It can only be said that it is very different from the current magic system, and is even closer to the field of psychic power.

These words seemed to bring back some memories of Helena. She was silent for a moment and said, "In her last years, my mother did give up magic spells and many ancient magics and turned to studying some unusual magics. I think I need some time to look for them..."

"Thank you, Ted," she thanked Ted, turned and walked through the wall.

……

The afternoon class passed so quickly, and as the little wizards were looking forward to the evening, it seemed to have slipped away without any impression.

Even after class, Ron and Jerry in the corridor had forgotten what class they had just attended!

But it doesn’t matter, because the first festival and banquet will come two months after school.

The atmosphere in the castle was filled with excitement.
Because of the dinner party today, dinner time will be a little later.

As soon as Ted and the other six arrived at the auditorium, they were stunned.

The entire auditorium was magnificently illuminated by countless candles and braziers.

On the ceiling of the auditorium, there was a large group of bats flying around the walls. From time to time, a single bat would hit the wall and disappear.

They are all created by magic.

A pile of pumpkins carved into ghost faces were piled against the walls and tables, and some pumpkin lanterns were floating in the air, spinning around.

The pumpkin pie stacked high on the table is steaming. A special sweet smell rushes into your nostrils, making you accumulate saliva involuntarily, and then swallow it down with a "gulp".

"Ding~ Trigger the festival mission:

【Howling Halloween (Green)】

That's it? That's it? That's it? Eat some pumpkin pie, drink some pumpkin juice, watch bats fly around, touch a jack-o'-lantern? That's not how Halloween should be celebrated! If it were in the Muggle world, the school would have been scolded to death! Let them see what real Halloween is!
Goal: Scare 10 people before the dinner party is over.

Progress: 0/10.

Reward: 200 experience points, card [Ghost Cloak (Green)].

Wear a pumpkin hat, good luck will surround your head; put on a ghost coat, good luck will be with you; wear Superman pants, happiness can't be hidden; step on big boots, more happiness~"

Ted was awakened by the system, looked at the task carefully, thought for a moment, and whispered to his friends: "Friends, I think this is too common..."

"Is this normal?" Ron's eyes widened - are your requirements too high? !

Ted said: "As a new generation of wizards, we have the responsibility to make Halloween more interesting. I have a plan..."

Jerry: That sounds like something a Gryffindor would say.

Halle: Did you steal my lines?

Ted: Come over here and we'll do this, that and that... Soon, not only the six of Ted, but also the Weasley twins and their best friend and roommate Lee Jordan joined the plan.

Just when most of the students had arrived, had started tasting pumpkin pie, and were waiting for the dinner to officially begin.

Suddenly, a scream sounded.

The students were caught off guard and all turned to look at the place where the scream came from.

I saw a bloody face appear at a side door. I couldn't see clearly who it was, but judging from his clothes and body shape, he was obviously a student.

He seemed to be trying to escape, but a ghost claw with bulging iron-blue muscles grabbed the back of his neck, and then a bloody axe chopped down on his head!

"Bang~" The boy's "corpse" fell to the ground with an axe on his forehead, and blood spread under his body.

A terrifying ghost face poked in from outside the door, as big as a wheel!

At the same time, a "bitter" cold wind blew in from somewhere, and all the students who were still in a daze shuddered suddenly.

Then, as if waking up from a dream, dozens of screams rang out at the same time, almost piercing the transparent ceiling of the auditorium!

In an instant, the lights in the entire hall dimmed. Under the flickering lights, countless little wizards could be heard howling like ghosts and wolves, almost crawling on the ground trying to escape.

"Ding~ Completed the mission [Ghost Howling Halloween (Green)], Reward: 200 experience points, card [Ghost Cloak (Green)]."

【Ghost Cloak (Green)】

item card

Wear: Disguise as a ghost and walk silently.

Note: Even if it looks similar, it can't go through a wall, so don't try.

Then, a voice rang out: "Silence!"

Everyone was familiar with that voice, and it seemed to have some kind of soothing power, instantly calming down the students who were so scared that they were about to run away.

It's Dumbledore!
He and several professors appeared in the professor's seat silently without anyone noticing.

Ted quickly waved to his friends in the dark: "Go! It will be too late if you are late!"

He was ready to take the blame, since the mission had been accomplished.

However, how could Snape let go of those naughty kids? He wanted to boil all of them in the cauldron.

So no one ran away, including Hermione.

"Oh, it's our Miss Know-It-All and Mr. Know-It-All, and..." He glanced at Harley, and a feeling of disappointment was brewing.

"And a bunch of trolls from Gryffindor!"

"Let me think about it. How should I punish you? You scared the students and tried to ruin the school's Halloween party. I suggest you be expelled!"

Damn, Ted rolled his eyes when he heard this - do you still have any shame? Why don't you just sentence us to life imprisonment in Azkaban!
The professors naturally couldn't let Snape do this.

Dumbledore pointed his wand at his throat and silently used the amplification spell (loud voice): "Students, please keep quiet. This is just a little joke that friends played on you on Halloween. I think it's quite funny."

At this time, the students finally realized that they had been deceived!

The "corpse" who was hit by an axe was played by Jerry.

The goblin pretending to split his head was Ron, who was riding on Neville's neck, and the two of them worked together to perform.

That big ghost face was created by Ted using Transfiguration, and Harley was controlling it from behind.

Ted's time watching so many horror movies was worth it, this wheel face is really scary.

When it first appeared, Neville and Ron, who saw it appear with their own eyes, shuddered with fear.

The "bitter wind" was created by Ted using the Freezing Spell to create the cold, and Hermione using the Hurricane Spell to create air movement.

The Weasley twins worked together to use the Fire Extinguishing Charm. Although it could not completely extinguish the large number of candles and braziers in the hall, it could suppress the flames for a short time and greatly reduce the brightness.

Lee Jordan was in charge of the atmosphere group, responsible for screaming in the crowd and causing everyone to panic and unable to think rationally.

If the professors hadn't suddenly appeared, Ted and his friends might have scared the students to the point of peeing their pants.

Ted's task was accomplished in an instant. He did not choose to scare people one by one, but did a big job. There must be at least hundreds of people who were frightened just now.

Exceeding the task is a yes!

At this time, Professor McGonagall came out and said, "You guys almost ruined the Halloween party. Gryffindor will lose 20 points!"

Professor Flitwick naturally had to say that although there were only two students in his college, according to Ted's confession, he was the mastermind. So Ravenclaw was also deducted 20 points!
Ted looked at the task: [A student life is incomplete without deductions (blue)], and the progress has reached 75/100!
Ted: I want to laugh.
