Chapter 144 Louis XVI (4K)

There are rumors that

Lady Gray is actually the daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw, the founder of Ravenclaw House.

However, this has always been an unconfirmed rumor.

Although Ms. Gray is kind-hearted – she often hangs out in the Ravenclaw common room. Ravenclaw students sometimes ask her if there is anything they want in the collection of books in the common room, and Ms. Gray will tell them one by one. Answer: Hermione is often helped by her – but she is as cold as she seems, and she never talks about herself to others.

No one even knew what her name was, they just kept calling her Ms. Grey.

“Oh, no,” Hermione stopped suddenly. She turned around quickly and said,”Look down, I don’t want to talk to Moaning Myrtle.——”

They hurriedly lowered their heads, and Harry asked in confusion:”Who?”

“She was in a toilet in the girls’ bathroom on the second floor. said Hermione

“Stay in the toilet bowl? Ron asked in disbelief.

“Yes, that toilet bowl breaks down all year round because she keeps throwing tantrums and spilling water everywhere. The girls were unwilling to go to that bathroom. They would rather climb an extra floor to go to the bathroom on the third floor than use the bathroom on the second floor. Think about it, it’s horrible to have her screaming at you while you’re on the toilet.——”

Harry and Ron both shuddered, Merlin’s bloomers, if someone scares them when they go to the toilet, they may not be able to lift their”heads” up in their lives.

At this time, the music in the venue stopped, and the ghosts in the dance venue floated down one after another, leaving Nick standing there alone.

Nick clapped his hands, and the house elves from the Hogwarts kitchen appeared here. They brought a long table with a huge cake and some food on it.

A strange smell filled the nostrils of the four living people.

Ron was feeling a little hungry. He walked closer to the long table, then covered his mouth and ran back.

“That’s not something humans can eat at all.……”He retched as he spoke.

Ives and the others took a closer look. On the long table, large pieces of rotten meat were placed on beautiful silver plates. Dark, charred cakes were piled on large trays; there were also a large amount of maggot-infested meat. Stuffed lamb tripe, a piece of cheese covered in green hair.

In the center of the table was a huge gray cake in the shape of a tombstone, with the words spelled out in tar-like icing:

Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, died October 31, 1492.

A fat ghost walked towards the table. He squatted down and passed directly through the middle of the table. His mouth opened wide, just passing through a smelly salmon.

“Can he taste it?”Harry asked curiously

“Of course,” the ghost walked up to the four little wizards. He looked at the four living people in front of him and said sadly:”After turning into a ghost, except for this extreme stench, we can’t feel any other smells..”

With that said, he floated away.

Ivis and Hermione nodded thoughtfully. This was the first time they knew that ghosts could actually taste, and their useless knowledge increased.

In the middle of the classroom, almost headless Nick was floating in the air. He cleared his throat and motioned for everyone, living and dead, to look over.

He said:”Today is my 500th death anniversary party. I am honored.……”

Suddenly, the sound of a hunting horn sounded in the underground classroom, and Nick’s speech was interrupted.

Twelve ghost horses suddenly ran out from the wall of the underground classroom, each with a headless rider on top.

All those attending the party applauded enthusiastically.

Harry also clapped his hands, but he stopped quickly when he saw Nick’s face.

Twelve ghost horses ran to the center of the dance floor, stopped suddenly, stood upright on their hind legs, and then kicked up their hind hooves to rush forward. Immediately at the front was a large ghost with a bearded head tucked under his arm, blowing a horn.

He jumped off his horse and raised his head high in the air so that he could look at everyone from above.

Everyone burst out laughing.

The headless hunter strode towards the almost headless Nick and stuffed his head into his neck carelessly.

“Nick! he yelled,”how are you?” Is your head still hanging there?”

He let out a wild laugh and patted the almost headless Nick on the shoulder.

“Welcome, Patrick.”Nick said stiffly.

“A living person!”Mr. Patrick saw Ives, Hermione, Harry and Ron at a glance. He jumped up high in pretending to be surprised, but his head fell down again. This move made everyone laugh.

“very interesting.”Nearly headless Nick said with a straight face.

“Leave Nick alone! shouted Mr. Patrick’s head from the floor,”and he’s still upset that we didn’t let him join the Hunters!” But I want to say – you guys, look at this guy——”

“I think,” Harry said hurriedly when he saw Nick’s meaningful look,”Nick is very – scary, and – oh——”

Elvis didn’t want to speak at first, but when he saw Nick’s pleading eyes, he hurriedly said:”That’s right.……”

He was interrupted before he finished speaking.

“Ha ha! cried Mr. Patrick’s head,”I suppose he told you to say that!””

“Please pay attention, now I start talking!”Nearly headless Nick said loudly, striding towards the podium and coming under a cold blue spotlight.

“My late Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen, it is with great sadness that……”

No one can hear the rest of the words.

Mr. Patrick and the other members of the Headless Hunters played a game of overhead hockey, and everyone turned to watch.

The nearly headless Nick tried in vain to regain his hold on the audience, but was defeated when Mr. Patrick’s head flew past him amid the cheers.

Even Hermione was leaning next to a member of the Headless Hunters, chatting quietly with him.

Ives leaned over and listened.

“I heard that you liked tinkering with machinery during your lifetime?”

“That’s right,” the headless hunter said sadly.

Hermione took out a small notebook and quickly wrote it down. She then asked:”Did you improve the guillotine during your lifetime?”

With that said, Ives knew who the ghost was –

Louis XVI

“Yes, I found that the guillotine’s knife is horizontal and the edge tends to curl up over time, so I changed it to an inclined one so that the edge would not curl up.”Louis XVI replied

“Okay,” Hermione quickly took notes,”History also records that you were the first trial user of this new guillotine. Is this true?”

This time Louis XVI did not answer her question. He seemed to have thought of something sad. He took off the head from his neck and held it in his hands, turned around and left.

Hermione returned to Ives and muttered:” I didn’t expect that the unofficial history I read was actually true!”

“What unofficial history? Ives asked curiously.

Hermione recalled it for a moment before saying,”What’s it called? The French will laugh three times after watching it.”》

……”

Are you really sure that the French will laugh when they see this kind of wild history? Avis cursed in his heart.

By this time, Harry was already very cold, and his stomach was even more hungry.���

He pulled Avis’s sleeve and said:”Let’s go back”

“I can’t stand it anymore,” Ron muttered, his teeth chattering. At this moment, the orchestra began to play dirge again, and the ghosts floated back to the dance floor.

Ives agreed. Their proposal:”Let’s go, we can still make it in time for dessert.”

As they retreated towards the door, they nodded and smiled at each ghost who looked at them. A minute later, they hurriedly walked in the corridor lit with black candles. On the way back to the Great Hall, Hermione excitedly asked Ivy Si shared what she saw at the party:”It turns out that Louis XVI really turned into a ghost. He is now the ghost of Babston Magic Academy in France, and he also joined the Headless Hunters team.……”

Seeing that she was talking happily, Ives had to interrupt:”Hermione, if you don’t walk faster, we won’t have anything to eat tonight.””

“”Hmm,” Hermione pouted, and the four of them quickly walked towards the auditorium.

Two minutes later, they finally rushed into the auditorium out of breath. Fortunately, the Halloween dinner had not ended yet. In the center of the auditorium, the famous skeleton dance The troupe is performing their specialty dance. Their dance… is very explicit.

Explicit in the literal sense.

The Skeleton Dance Troupe, as the name suggests, is a dance troupe composed entirely of skeletons. Thanks to their special body structure, they can give everyone The performance will not be dominated by harmonious stripteases and pole dancing.

The auditorium is surrounded by jack-o’-lanterns carved from Hagrid’s big pumpkin, which form independent boxes. Ivis and Hermione leave Harry and Ron behind. They found a private room with a wide view and sat in.

They were curious about the dance of the Skeleton Dance Group and planned to enjoy the rest of the night.

Hermione looked at the food on the table in the middle of the private room, and her stomach growled.

Nick’s death anniversary party was indeed not held for living people. Even though she met many celebrities in history, after comparing it to the Halloween dinner held in the auditorium, she still inevitably felt a trace of regret in her heart. If she had known about the Halloween dinner It was so interesting that she refused to accept Nick’s invitation.

Hermione picked up the pumpkin pie on the table and stuffed it into her mouth, destroying it in a few strokes.

She felt the full sense of happiness in her stomach and sighed:”The food cooked by the house elves is still delicious.”

Avis smiled and suddenly reached out to wipe the residue from the girl’s mouth.

Hermione’s face turned red immediately, but this change was not very visible in the dim candlelight.

It’s great, she thought to herself

……

The Halloween dinner ended in a joyful atmosphere without any attacks.

Ives was relieved, it seemed that Voldemort’s diary had not been brought to Hogwarts.

A few more days passed.

This morning, the weather was clear and cold, and the auditorium was filled with the enticing aroma of grilled sausages.

The first Quidditch match of this school year is coming soon. The little wizards woke up early in the morning. Everyone is looking forward to a wonderful Quidditch match and chatting happily.

The first game was a duel between Gryffindor and Slytherin. The new seekers of the two teams and the seven Nimbus 2001 of the Slytherin team undoubtedly attracted the most attention.

Harry invited many friends to watch his first Quidditch match, and he wrote a special letter to inform Sirius.

If Hogwarts basically did not allow parents of students to visit, Sirius would definitely rush to watch his godson play.

Although he couldn’t be there, Sirius still wrote several letters to cheer him up and bought him a lot of protective gear.

The time came to eleven o’clock, and it seemed that all the teachers and students of the school were in the stands around the Quidditch pitch. The seats were raised into the air, and even though many students brought binoculars, it was still difficult to see the game clearly.

Elvis, Hermione and Cho were sitting in the Ravenclaw stands, and Cedric was also there.

Qiu and Cedric came with a mission today. They were both seekers of their respective college teams. They had to carefully analyze the strength of the new seekers of Slytherin and Gryffindor.

As the Gryffindor team entered the field, cheers erupted in the stands, but at the same time, boos and boos from the Lytherins could be heard in the crowd.

Because all members of the Slytherin Quidditch team changed to Nimbus 2001 this year, Slytherin has become the number one public enemy of the other three houses.

While teams in other colleges generally use Nimbus 1700, Slytherin updated his team’s equipment in an unspoken way and directly replaced it with the latest Nimbus 2001.

This is a dimensionality-reducing blow to the other three teams.

Originally, everyone was a student, and they had to focus on their studies during school. There were only one or two talented and skilled players, but the performance of the broom could greatly affect the outcome of the game.

Just imagine, in a racing competition, one party drives a Toyota AE86 and the other party drives a racing Mazda RX-7FC. Who do you think can win? Of course it is…Toyota AE86. After all, their Toyota has been heavily modified.

However, the unmodified AE86 accelerates to 100 kilometers in 7.3 seconds, while the Mazda rx7 accelerates to 100 kilometers in 5 seconds. No matter how good your skills are, it is absolutely impossible to win.

The difference between Nimbus 1700 and Nimbus 2001 is just that big.

Gryffindor is a little better, their Seeker Harry also brought a Nimbus 2001 this year.

Wood was very fond of Harry’s broom these days, and ordered him to keep it safe, even if Harry had to sleep with the broom in his arms.

After both teams entered the arena, Quidditch referee Mrs. Hooch asked Flint and Wood to shake hands. They stared at each other threateningly and touched each other’s hands unnecessarily.

“snort.”

After snorting coldly, the two of them turned around and released their hands at the same time.

“Very angry.”Cedric lay on the railing of the stands, holding up a telescope and observing the expressions of both parties and said with emotion.

“After all, the two colleges are old enemies.”Avis said next to him, also holding up the telescope.

Qiu and Hermione sat on the seats behind them, chatting and eating the snacks they brought.

“Listen to my whistle,” Mrs. Huo Qi’s voice said above everyone else.

“three – two – one——”
