Chapter 282 Hogwarts Party (3)

The sudden sound frightened Myrtle, who was in a daze, and shuddered.

She raised her head and looked at Rossi, then showed a frightened expression on her face. Her mouth kept opening and closing, but she didn't make a sound.

Huh? What happened? Someone cast a silent spell on her?

At the same time as this thought passed through her mind, Rossi activated the stopping spell attached to the silver moon brooch.

"The curse stops immediately!"

As the spell was recited, the white light instantly penetrated into Myrtle's body.

Seeing her expression change from fear to astonishment, Rossi couldn't help but feel a little confused about her reaction.

It's strange why she has such an expression.

After muttering silently, Rossi asked in as gentle a tone as possible:

"Are you okay? Who cast the silent spell on you?"

However, the next second, Myrtle's reaction completely confused Rosie.

She suddenly stood up and walked past Rossi with small steps. Then, she raised her right hand high and reached towards Rowena's statue from a distance.

What's wrong with her?

Rosie suddenly understood why the girls she met in the bathroom said she was stupid.

Walking behind Myrtle, Rosie's eyes followed her right hand to the statue of Rowena, who still had that half-smiling, slightly teasing expression.

Could it be that she was pointing to the crown on Rowena's head? But it was just a marble replica. Why was she pointing at that? She couldn't ask me to take it off and give it to her, right?

Rosie was confused and turned around to look at Myrtle again. Her mouth was still opening and closing.

What kind of evil has she got? Even the Stop Curse can't fix it?

Just as she was wondering, Myrtle suddenly withdrew her hand in an exaggerated movement, as if dancing. Immediately afterwards, she took out a gold Galleons from her pocket and reluctantly handed it to Rosie.

Huh? Why did you suddenly give me money?

Rosie, who was confused for a moment, took it in surprise and was about to ask her when she saw Myrtle suddenly stood up on her tiptoes and saluted, then quickly ran out of the common room. She looked like she was forced to work overtime.

It's as if the actors are in a hurry to take the curtain call.

"Pfft!"

At this time, Ms. Gray, who had been watching the show, couldn't help but laugh out loud. She obviously knew something.

Rossi tried hard to maintain his character and asked in a teasing tone: "What's going on? All Ravenclaw students are... so strange now?"

"Her name is Myrtle Warren. She is usually a bit silly and easy to fool."

Ms. Gray said with a smile, "But today, she must have been too into the drama."

Too deep into the drama?

By the way, those girls said before that Myrtle was going to play a woman who was defrauded of money in the party program...

Scammed out of money?

Rossi lowered his head and looked at the Galleon in his hand.

Theatrical props: A fake Galleon created by transfiguration.

"Fake Gallon, are they some kind of anti-fraud program? How can they actually use this?"

Hearing Rossi's complaints, Ms. Gray couldn't help but chuckle a few times:

"It's "The Fountain of Good Luck," a fable from "The Tales of Beedle the Poet."

Legend has it that there is a good luck spring in the garden protected by magic. Bathing in the spring water can wash away bad luck from the body.

The protagonists of the story are three witches. One of them is terminally ill; one was defrauded of all her money by a bad wizard; and one has just lost her love.

In order to wash away the bad luck on their bodies, they made an appointment to be baptized by the fountain of luck together.

But in fact, in the process of trying to find the fountain of good luck, they have found their own happiness."

Co-author: Am I the one who defrauded her of money?

No wonder her movements just now looked so exaggerated, and her mouth was open without speaking. Was she acting, a pantomime?

After flicking up and catching the prop Galleon with his thumb, Rossi smiled slightly and said, "So, I accidentally played the role of a bad wizard who cheats money?"

"That's what it looks like."

Smiling softly, Ms. Gray floated around Rosie again.

After looking at it carefully, she couldn't help but tentatively asked:

"Rosie, why don't you have a last name?"

Looking back at the statue behind him, Rossi raised a smile on his lips. Instead of explaining, he asked softly:

"Helena, I heard that you are now called Ms. Gray. Even the students hardly know your real name. Why is that?"

"Isn't there such a legend in the Muggle world? The kind of lady who was brutally killed because of love or because of love was called Lady Grey."

When mentioning the fact that she was killed, Ms. Gray didn't seem to care, "I meet this requirement, so there's no problem in calling me Ms. Gray!"

"Yeah?"

Rosie pursed her red lips and said with a smile, "I thought you gave up your surname just like me because of family problems."

The ambiguous answer and her deliberate guidance made Ms. Gray wonder whether she was related to her by blood.

At this time, it was completely dark outside the window.

"Helena, I'm going to the party, do you want to go with me?"

"Of course, I was going to the party as well."

Now that Myrtle, who is suspected of being protected, has left, there is no point in Rosie staying here anymore.

As for Ms. Gray, not only was she not in a hurry to get rid of him, she even planned to attend the Hogwarts party with him openly.

…

She said she was going to a party, but Rosie did not rush to the auditorium on the first floor. Instead, accompanied by Ms. Gray, she slowly and openly visited almost every corner of each floor.

When meeting faculty members or resident ghosts, she would take the initiative to simply say hello, letting them know her name without leaving any trace, and knowing that she was invited to Hogwarts for the party.

Because she did not specify who she was invited to, the other party took it for granted that she was invited by Ms. Grey.

This is also due to Ms. Gray's special status. If it were anyone else, if someone from outside the school was suddenly invited into the castle, someone would definitely come to question her.

When Rosie arrived on the first floor, the party in the auditorium was about to begin.

In the corner of the foyer, a pure and sweet-looking girl was hugging a tall, thin boy. When they saw Rossi and the others coming down, the two immediately separated with embarrassed faces, and ran into the auditorium with their heads lowered.

Tsk tsk tsk!

Students of this period are so bold!

Listening to the noisy and lively sounds coming from the auditorium, she couldn't help but murmur in her heart.

After crossing the threshold, the familiar yet slightly unfamiliar scene in the auditorium came into view.

Because it was the holiday, Christmas trees were specially decorated in the four corners of the auditorium, and lighted candles were floating under the ceiling.

No matter what the program of the party was, the festive atmosphere was definitely set off.

Rossi bowed and bowed to Principal Dippet who was sitting at the teacher's desk at the end. Seeing that the other person just nodded towards him with a smile and no other actions, Rossi finally felt relieved.

Ness! The hidden plan was a great success!
