Hogwarts: The Book of Laws

Chapter 124 The Second Attack of the Basilisk

It was October 31st, and it was raining heavily outside, but it did not affect the happy mood of the little wizards at all. Since the morning, the house elves have been busy because there will be a grand banquet tonight.

Last year, the entire banquet was interrupted halfway through due to the appearance of a troll. The house elves were also helpless. They had prepared a lot for the banquet, but they didn't expect that the banquet was suddenly terminated.

Fortunately, each college continued the banquet in its own common room, so the efforts of the elves did not go to waste.

All day today, the little wizards were not in the mood to listen to the lectures, and all their thoughts were focused on tonight's banquet.

Especially the little wizards in second and first grade.

The little wizard in second grade hopes that this year will be safe because a troll came last year. The first grade wizard hopes to have another troll like last year. In their opinion, this is something they can brag about with their families at Christmas.

The professors who had classes today also noticed that the little wizards below were a little absent-minded. Of course, at this time of year, the little wizards would be absent-minded.

So every year on this day, as long as there is class, the professors will let the students study by themselves. Except for Professor Binns, the old professors don't care whether they listen to his class or not.

The decoration in the restaurant has changed, with a huge pumpkin head floating in the air, white candles burning inside, and two or three bats flying out of it from time to time. The first-grade wizards looked at all this with curiosity. This was a scene they had never seen before.

The freshmen sat at the dining table, curiously looking at everything around them, and occasionally chatting with their friends. Of course, there is also a little wizard who is constantly taking pictures with a camera. When he meets people by the way, he will ask: "Do you know where Mr. Potter has gone?"

Colin Creevey, a Harry Potter fan.

"What are you looking at? Lean." Kes's voice sounded in Lean's ears.

"Nothing." Lean looked back at Colin.

In the original book, both the Reeves brothers died fighting the Death Eaters.

"I hope today is a good day, I don't want another troll to come. Hell, you know, many freshmen are praying to Merlin, hoping that a troll will come today." Kes said a little depressed.

He picked up the kettle on the table and wanted to pour himself a glass of water, but the kettle was empty.

"This is really too bad. I don't want another giant monster to come today. They don't know the danger of the giant monster at all. The calves always dream of killing tigers. What's more, they are not even cows now, at most they are nothing." A sheep." Kes shook his head.

Ryan and Kes kept talking. After a while, Beaver came too, followed closely by Juana.

But when Juana came in, she didn't even look at Beaver and sat directly next to her friend.

This is also the norm for Juana and Beaver. They don't dare to get too close to each other in public places to prevent others from gossiping.

About ten minutes later, various professors appeared at the faculty table.

Professor Dumbledore stood up and began to deliver a speech.

"Ha, Mr. Savior is not here?" Malfoy's voice sounded next to him, which attracted Lean's attention.

Ever since the rift between him and Malfoy, Malfoy had always been far away from him, but today was a bit unusual.

However, after Malfoy noticed that Rean was paying attention to him, he immediately shrank down, stopped being arrogant, and just talked to Goyle and Crabbe beside him.

Professor Dumbledore's speech is still so simple and concise, perhaps this is why most young wizards like him. For students, if the principal's speech can be so simple and clear, he is simply the best principal in this life.

Then it was time for a pleasant meal. The originally quiet atmosphere in the restaurant instantly broke and became lively.

All kinds of food and even some magical creatures suddenly appeared on the golden plates on the dining table. Hogwarts is backed by the Forbidden Forest and the Black Lake, which are rich in species and ecologically diverse. If you want to eat anything, just go inside and find it.

The house elves spent three days running around the Forbidden Forest for this banquet.

The little wizards couldn't wait to pick up their knives and forks and enjoy this sumptuous dinner.

With a lot of inventory in their stomachs, the freshmen began to chase their seniors and ask them about last year's Halloween and the upcoming Quidditch match.

When it comes to Quidditch, one person cannot be ignored, and that is Harry Potter.

So soon, someone discovered that Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley were not dining in the restaurant, and they started asking the people around them. Later, this matter was known to all the little wizards.

Until the end of the dinner, no one knew where Harry Potter had gone. Colin looked disappointed, as did the young wizards who admired Harry Potter.

"Ha, it's such a peaceful day. If you ask me, the expectations of those freshmen have been disappointed, this Christmas is really peaceful. If you ask me, what's wrong with being a little calmer? After enjoying a grand banquet, then return to the dormitory , take a good bath and sleep comfortably, this is the right way to spend the festival." Kes said while picking his teeth next to him.

"Kiss, you know, you are just like the supporting characters in the novels on the market that promote the development of the plot." Lean said.

"No, I don't think it's possible. Last semester, it was because of Professor Quirrell's mischief that the trolls broke into Hogwarts. This year's Professor Lockhart, haha." Kespy smiled without a smile. Twice, everyone can see the disdain.

Beaver nodded beside him. Lockhart looked like a coward. He really didn't have the guts to let the troll in, nor did he have the strength.

This was tested by the Weasley twins. Although Lockhart later explained that he saw it, he wanted to play with the Weasley brothers and did not reveal it.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lockhart is trying to defend himself.

After dinner, the little wizards began to return to their college lounges under the leadership of their prefects. Only at the beginning of school and Halloween would there be a grand occasion for everyone to go back to the dormitory together. Usually they would be free to move around after eating.

The young wizards from the four colleges came out of the restaurant in a grand manner and began to walk towards the stairs. Two colleges go up and two colleges go down.

However, just after turning a corner, everyone saw something incredible.

Filch's precious cat, Mrs. Norris, was hung stiffly on the wall, looking as if she was dead.

Standing next to him was Harry, who had mysteriously disappeared tonight.
