The Bard at Hogwarts

The History of Magic is over. Although Professor Binns' final answer was a bit unreasonable, magic has never been reasonable. It seems that only alchemy is a little bit reasonable.

That evening.

The sweet smell of pumpkin fills the entire castle, which means Halloween is coming.

The auditorium was decorated with live bats as usual at this time.

The huge pumpkins Hagrid planted also came in handy, and they were carved into lanterns.

There are even large pumpkins that have been converted into pumpkin houses that can accommodate three or four people.

The most interesting, or perhaps the scariest, thing is that there is an oversized spider web hanging from the top of the auditorium's porch, with a giant black spider "lying" on it, twitching its hairy legs from time to time.

Moreover, the giant spider will randomly select the little wizard passing by. After it is selected, a silver-gray web will fall from the sky and tightly wrap the little wizard below.

Of course, whenever such a prank happens, everyone around will laugh, especially a few junior wizards, who even stand aside, waiting to see this magical scene.

"Click!" A crisp sound, accompanied by a white light.

Colin was a little excited, feeling that everything was like a dream, from receiving the letter from the owl, boarding the Hogwarts Express, to rowing to the castle.

Everything here made him feel incredible, especially today, the first festival and the first dinner after entering school.

Countless magical scenes made him worry that his film stock was running out.

On the other side of the auditorium, when Ino saw the white light flashing, he thought of a question in hindsight.

Not only can he be a bard in a fantasy world, but he can also be a professional photographer.

You know, in the stories I have experienced over the past three years, there are too many regrets and too many partings. If only I had had a camera earlier.

Old John's town square, the White Witch's snow castle, the elves in the dense forest, and the decisive battle under the lonely mountain, if all these could be preserved...

"It seems that tomorrow I will have to ask Old DeVos to modify a camera."

Just when Ino was distracted, Draco's voice came to her ears.

"Why are you here? Hurry up! I asked Goyle to rob a pumpkin house a long time ago."

Facing Draco's invitation, Ino did not agree as usual.

Because he knows the purpose of the pumpkin house very well, this thing is also called the Halloween Couple House in Hogwarts. Because the number is limited, it is very popular every year.

Think about it, a boy invites another boy to a couple's room... no matter how you look at it, it's weird.

"What are you thinking!" After reacting, Draco was also a little angry.

"Pansy and Daphne are already inside. Goyle grabbed a big pumpkin. It can easily seat four people."

"Oh! Let's go then!" Ino nodded easily. The moment he heard the invitation, he was really stressed.

Follow the edge of the auditorium.

Not long after, Ino saw the pumpkin car that Goyle had grabbed. I don’t know what method Hagrid used to cultivate a good pumpkin into the size of a car.

"Eno, come in!" Suddenly, a little head appeared on the small window of the pumpkin house. Daphne was lying on the pumpkin window, saying hello with a smile.

Digging into the big pumpkin, there is a melon pedicle in the middle that looks like a small table. It is hollowed out on all sides, leaving a circle of protrusions covered with mats, making it the most natural seat.

Pansy and Daphne were sitting across from each other, and the small table in the middle was filled with various candies and snacks.

"This is my first time coming in. I didn't expect it to be like this inside." Ino looked at the pumpkin house with interest.

To be honest, it's hard not to like such a small cabin full of security.

"Last year I let Goyle grab one, but Quirrell ruined the dinner." Draco said proudly of his achievements.

While the three of them were chatting, Pansy, who had been silent until now, suddenly said seriously:

"Ino, what we are doing now is just like what you said on the train. The difference is that the mice are hiding in the sewers, and we are hiding in the castle and the pumpkin house."

There is a saying that Pansy's words are indeed a bit off-putting at a holiday dinner.

However, as Pansy finished speaking, Draco and Daphne also fell silent.

After seeing the inquiring expressions on several people's faces, Ino also felt a little dizzy. Unexpectedly, more than two months had passed, and they still remembered this incident.

This is actually somewhat unexpected.

But after thinking about it for a while, he didn't intend to delay it any longer. After all, this time it has been proven that the little Slytherin wizard is not easy to fool. If you can remember it once, you can remember it countless times.

"Okay! Then let's talk! Although this topic is a bit heavy."

Ino sighed softly, and then looked around. The small pumpkin house was isolated from the eyes of everyone around it, including the portraits hanging on the walls of the auditorium.

"Before we talk about this topic, we need to understand one thing first, which is the "International Confederation of Wizards' Statute of Secrecy" signed in 1689, and the changes in the lives of wizards after it officially came into effect in 1692..."

To be honest, if he hadn't happened to hear Professor Binns talk about the Muggle Exorcism Curse today, it would have been very difficult for him to talk about it just based on these years of information.

Time passes minute by minute.

Unlike the hustle and bustle of the auditorium, the overall atmosphere in the small pumpkin house was quiet.

"...Finally, let us remember this turning point in history and pay tribute to the ancestors who sacrificed their lives. Without their efforts and struggles, we would not be able to sit here and enjoy delicious food while chatting freely."

It took about half an hour for Ino to explain Professor Binns' history of magic again in the morning.

Unlike Professor Binns's boring and lengthy retelling, he removed a lot of meaningless narrations in this retelling, and only retained the key points of history after simplification.

"We are really like rats in the sewer..."

Draco was the first to react, muttering in disbelief.

"It's pitiful!" Pansy and Daphne also nodded in agreement.

Ino was confused by the inexplicable reactions of the three people. He deleted everything according to Professor Binns's content without adding any subjective intentions.

"Well, do you have to do this? This is what Professor Binns taught today! And the professor also taught the Muggle Repelling Spell. If you are interested, I will teach you another day."

"Professor Binns? History of Magic? And taught magic?" Draco widened his eyes and asked three fatal questions.

"Yes! History of Magic. Who told you to always sleep!" Ino rubbed his eyebrows helplessly.

"That old ghost's voice is magical. I also want to listen to the class carefully, but I just can't control myself." Daphne said pitifully.

As Daphne's voice fell, Pansy on the side slowly said:

"Ino, you come to give us a lesson. In the whole Slytherin, only you can tolerate Professor Binns' nagging. In the future, just like today, after each history of magic, we will sit together, and I think many people will participate. After all, except for you last year, everyone's history of magic grades were either P or A."

Facing his real estate creditor, Ino thought about it and agreed.

It's a piece of cake. After all, there is only one history of magic a week. It's not worth hurting Pansy's feelings for such a thing.

"No problem, after the History of Magic is over, I'll find a place to review it for you."
