Chapter 38
After coming out of the ancient Rune classroom, Ulysses looked pale, but walked a lot lighter.
Back in the corridor of the Slytherin common room, Ulysses was thinking about which magic perfect blue-eyed white dragon cards are better to inscribe as he walked. When Ulysses accidentally saw a ghost floating straight towards him, the next second Go through his body.
“Good noon, Mr. Barrow.”
Ulysses ducked aside, greeted the ghost casually.
This ghost has a terrifying appearance, with dull eyes, described as haggard, and his robe is stained with silver blood.
It is Barrow, the blood man, and belongs to the ghost of Slytherin.
Barrow didn’t seem to see Ulysses, and drifted forward in a daze. Suddenly, as if he felt something, he turned his head and swung back.
Its black-hole eyes looked straight at Ulysses, his voice hoarse like a dilapidated bellows:
“Your body… there is a familiar breath.”
“what?”
Ulysses, who was not paying attention here, was a little puzzled after listening, “Familiar breath?”
“Maybe I made a mistake…”
Barrow shook his head, then turned his head and moved on, as if nothing had happened.
“baffling.”
Ulysses looked at the transparent body of the blood man Barrow, muttered, and returned to the 409 dormitory.
…
Halloween in 1992 came soon.
The dining room was set up as an auditorium. Thousands of live bats were flying on the ceiling, huge pumpkin lanterns hung overhead, and ribbons of holly vines and mistletoe hung on the surrounding walls. The people in the portraits were also congratulating each other, saying, ” happy Holidays.”
There was news from the school that Dumbledore was preparing to invite the Skeleton Dance Company to join in the festival, which made the students excited.
Anderson was very positive. From the time he got up in the morning, he was thinking about what he would appear in the evening. After all, he had spent three Halloweens at Hogwarts and found a good hunting target every time.
Ulysses was also a little interested in the first Halloween at Hogwarts, so he bought the costume props a few days ago and went to the village as he did.
At 6:30, Ulysses appeared in the Slytherin common room, which was already full of students. Various strange and strange masks appeared on their faces, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Many people stand in front of a huge mirror, perfecting their own image under the suggestion of their peers.
After Ulysses walked in, the heated discussion was quiet for a few seconds, and then a burst of exclamations that were clearly lower than the voice, everyone’s eyes fell on him.
Ulysses was wearing a black windbreaker dress with no silver buttons, revealing the black dress inside. Black shirt, black trousers, black leather shoes, black gloves, wide-brimmed black top hat, windbreaker has a large hem, which will fly behind him when walking.
He was wearing a half-silver mask on his face, with strange red lines drawn at the corners of his eyes, like blood stains, the lips exposed under the mask were the color of blood roses, his silver hair was stretched out, and his shoulders draped.
Ulysses was fourteen years old, yet he had not grown up in a young figure, but his outfit was weird but gorgeous.
“Hey Ulysses, as long as you want, the girl on the dance floor will be with you later.”
Anderson, who was beside him, took his shoulders and whispered in his ear, with a hint of jealousy in his tone.
Anderson wore a scarlet vampire mask, a red cloak dangling behind him, a belt of the same color tied around his waist, a golden headdress on his head, and large half-moon-shaped gold earrings on his ears, which looked a bit charming. , But compared with Ulysses next to him, it was like the sun and the moon and the firefly.
“This outfit is really good.”
Ulysses heard a slightly familiar female voice with a smile.
He turned his head and looked. Although he couldn’t see his face under the obstruction of the mask, after a little discrimination, he still heard Millie Burstd’s voice.
Millie was wearing a long dress that was gorgeous like a silver moonlight, and her hair became the color of moonlight. She was not tied up but draped on her back, with pointed ears protruding from under her hair.
It should be dressed as an elf.
“thanks.”
Ulysses took out his magic wand and waved it at Millie a few times. There were also some small accessories on the silver headdress and belt, and then a silver translucent scepter with a pansy on the head. , A few silver-winged butterflies danced around the flowers.
Millie happily accepted Ulysses’ perfection of her dress.
“Let’s go.”
Ulysses nodded, and after speaking to Anderson, turned around and walked out.
The two came to the auditorium, where many people were already there, and the dress was much weirder than the Slytherin common room. After all, Slytherin still maintains the reservedness and aesthetics of the nobility. Some species that are too disgusting, trivial and curious are no one to choose, but they are different for Hogwarts as a whole.
Ulysses frowned, avoiding a carrion-bearing hand that came over, looking at the carrion Miss in front of him, and resisted not throwing a splitting curse.
Many people cover their faces with masks, which means they can strike up a conversation unscrupulously without worrying about identity. After entering the auditorium, Anderson quickly entered a state of combat and ran to find his prey, while some people focused their hunting eyes on Ulysses.
Ulysses tirelessly rejected the invitations of several people, and he ignored some strong hints. This thing is like online dating, he can’t guarantee what the person under the mask will look like.
He randomly found a place to sit down on the long Slytherin table, and saw the prefects of the four academies enter the auditorium with their dancing partners.
None of them wear masks, the front is Percy Weasley, and his dancing partner is Ravenclaw’s Penello Krivart. Then there was the female prefect of Gryffindor, a girl with long brown hair, and then Hufflepuff, with Gemma Farley at the end.
The professor seat is also full of festive colors. Dumbledore was dressed up as a death god, holding a huge black sickle in his right hand, and the other professors’ costumes also had their own characteristics.
Below stood the skeleton dance troupe that Dumbledore had promised.
At 7 o’clock, Dumbledore stood up and coughed twice, and the auditorium quickly fell silent.
“It’s great to enjoy Halloween with everyone. But before the party starts, I have one thing to warn you. Recently, our forbidden forest guard, Mr. Hagrid, found signs of students in the forbidden forest. No matter what. That person, or who those people are, don’t set foot in the forbidden forest again, otherwise there will be serious punishments waiting.”
There was no sound in the auditorium.
Dumbledore blinked a few times, then smiled on his still serious face, and said loudly:
“Now, enjoy this year’s Halloween party!”
