NOVEL NEXT I opened a blind box at Hogwarts
Chapter 32 The Halloween Chapter Arrives
Chapter 32
Halloween is a relatively important festival in the West. Not only Muggles celebrate this festival, but also wizards in the wizarding world, which is very strange.
Joshua, who came to the auditorium early in the morning, could smell a sweet and tempting roasted pumpkin smell everywhere since he walked out of the gate of the Gryffindor lounge~
It was fascinating, and the breakfast in the Great Hall showed that it was all true and that it was Halloween.
Joshua's impression of this kind of festival is that children will dress up as cute ghosts and knock on doors from house to house, asking for candy, otherwise they will make trouble.
Of course, he didn't do such childish things after time travel, so that the Joestar couple had some kind of psychological problem because of Joshua.
In the Great Hall, you can see that the big pumpkins grown by Hagrid are piled up in the corner, and these pumpkins are about to be turned into jack-o-lanterns by Professor Flitwick, hanging from the ceiling.
"Why did you two come here?"
Hermione looked anxious while sitting in the seat. When she saw Joshua and Neville who were late, she couldn't wait to pull them down on the seat.
"Today is Halloween, what are you going to do?"
Hermione's voice was so small that only the three of them could hear it.
"It depends on Neville's wishes. Can we make decisions on behalf of others?" Joshua looked at Neville and said, "What is your wish, Neville, to go or not?"
The hesitant Neville couldn't make a decision for a while, but he also knew that today was the deadline, but he had to make a decision today anyway.
He didn't make a decision right away, but looked at Hermione and Joshua expectantly and said, "Will you accompany me?"
"Of course, we are good friends, aren't we?" Hermione replied straightforwardly.
Joshua also nodded, although he was a little afraid of the ghost and didn't want to agree, but Hermione's threatening eyes forced Joshua to agree.
"That's great, with you, no matter what test you are in!" Neville was very happy. In his opinion, with Hermione and Joshua, they should be safe.
But Joshua didn't quite agree with his idea.
"Neville, listen to me, you are the one who accepts the invitation, and you are the one who is about to be tested. You can't be too dependent on others, you are yourself, Neville Longbottom, and Not everyone is eligible to be invited to take the test!"
Joshua held Neville's shoulders. This guy was actually very courageous, but in fact, he kept denying his courage in his heart, which made him look too cowardly from the outside.
Harry grabbed the gift he received yesterday, the Nimbus 2000 broomstick, and walked over, seeming to have heard Joshua's words.
"Hi Joshua, Neville, Hermione, how are you!" Harry's face was so excited that he ignored something.
Harry's face was dripping with sweat, it looked like he'd spent a lot of time on his broomstick in the morning.
"Congratulations, Harry. Looking forward to seeing you do well at the Quidditch match in three weeks."
Harry, the youngest Seeker at Hogwarts, has earned a lot of attention on campus, but all the students except the Gryffindor Quidditch team just want to see Harry's jokes.
"Thank you, I will!" After speaking, Harry strode to the front of the long table, sat next to Ron and opposite the twins, and discussed the texture of the Nimbus 2000 with great interest.
In the morning, it was Professor Flitwick's Charms class and Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class. In the original book, it was today that Hermione was questioned and ridiculed by many people before she ran to the women's room to cry.
However, in class, Joshua looked at Hermione who was sitting next to her, who was very interested in the learning content, with joy in his heart.
"What do you think I'm doing? Is there something I don't understand? I can teach you." Hermione's face was full of doubts, but Joshua had asked for advice in previous courses, and she didn't think much about it.
Joshua smiled slightly and said, "Of course, please teach me, Professor Granger~"
After the boring Defense Against the Dark Arts get out of class in the afternoon, the three of Joshua did not enter the hall filled with Halloween decorations like other students, but sneaked into the basement of the castle.
Joshua was looking forward to the scene of the two thousand black bats flying on the ceiling, but according to the original book today, Quirrell will release the giant monster to attract the attention of other professors.
It is worth mentioning that when he said that the troll was in the basement, it was not the case. The basement was farther away from the fourth floor, and it took longer for the professors to rush there, so he had more opportunities. The place where the troll really appeared It was on the second floor, which was why the professors didn't arrive until Harry's time had passed.
It's not clear whether the giant monster ate the food he cut. In order to prevent Quirrell from attracting the professor to the basement like that again, the three of them planned to speed up, otherwise they would be ruined if they were bumped into by the professors.
The basement of Hogwarts only has five underground floors on the surface, and the fifth floor is Slater's common room, which is already located below the level of the Black Lake.
But in fact, there are six floors in the basement. The sixth and fifth floors were originally Hogwarts dungeons, but only the fifth floor was transformed into a rest room, and the sixth floor was abandoned.
It is also impossible to enter the sixth floor, because the entrance to the sixth floor at the end of the stairs is blocked by a stone wall. It is said that it is to prevent students from entering it. The specific reason is unknown.
"How do we get in?"
Hermione observed the wall for a while, and found that there was nothing special about it, and there was no response to the unlocking spell.
Joshua looked back at a Neville hiding behind him and Hermione, "Neville, come here! Take out that invitation letter!"
Under Joshua's scolding, Neville tremblingly walked to the wall and took out the invitation letter from Sir Nicholas.
The moment he took out the invitation letter, the wall in front of the three suddenly burst into several cracks, and then there was no response.
Joshua and Hermione looked at each other, and then carefully touched the crack with their hands. When they touched the wall, they were surprised to find that the originally hard and abnormal wall was like rubber at this moment. Open the entrance that can allow one person to pass through.
And after the entrance was a pitch-black unknown land, not to mention Joshua and Neville, even Hermione couldn't help trembling.
"Let's go, your test is ahead." After speaking, Joshua directly pushed Neville into it together, while Hermione was stunned for a while, and then stepped into it with a resolute expression.
