[HPDHGSG] Subversion of parallel time and space

We must ensure that no one learns the Patronus Charm without falling to the ground!The first task of all your seniors is the same as yours. First-year freshmen learn theoretical knowledge first—they just turned 11 and their magic power is not stable enough—in my class, I only have one requirement: try your best! "

Grindelwald's impassioned words made the animals around them stunned for a moment, feeling that they still had a lot to learn, but his words also boosted their confidence and fighting spirit.Finally, after he finished speaking, both the little lion and the little snake applauded involuntarily, and they were full of confidence in the newly appointed Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

The author has something to say: Well, that's it~ The patron saint or something will definitely make a storm, everyone, wait and see!

Chapter68. Caused by Patronus

It is said that Grindelwald's words made the little animals full of confidence, but it was not so easy in actual combat.Even if you follow the guidance of the new professor, talented or pure-blooded little wizards can only emit a trace of white mist when the get out of class is over. Even so, everyone is still full of confidence in the future courses: they all say that the Patronus Charm is difficult to learn , Can't I release the white mist?But that's another story, the key lies in those who can use the Patronus Charm in this Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

When Grindelwald said to start practicing by himself, the little snakes of Slytherin looked at the head of the academy at the same level, Lucifer Les Salas, that is, Salazar Slytherin, although Salazar was Extremely pure black magic physique, but under Godric's full guidance, he can still use a few white magic, in case when to cover up his identity needs-outsiders don't know that Salazar, as the most powerful black wizard, will White magic, so there is no need to worry about basic white magic like the Patronus Charm. Salazar pulled out his wand and waved it gracefully in the air. The purpose of coming out is to set a standard for other little snakes, which is also one of the duties of the chief.

Seeing that white mist appeared on the top of Salazar's wand and took shape immediately, the little snakes felt awe of the chief of their academy again, but when they saw the chief's patron saint form, they were all stupid Eye-catching: Can anyone tell them why their Head of Slytherin House, the well-behaved Slytherin Patronus, is a lion? !He Merlin, someone tell them they are deaf!

Salazar was the first one in the classroom to cast the Patronus Charm, so not only the little snake who was looking forward to his chief demonstration, but even most of the little lions were watching the effect of Salazar's Patronus Charm, so for a while the classroom very quiet……

"Draco, you also saw a lion, right?" Blaise tilted his head and whispered to Draco.

Draco struggled with the form of the Snake Ancestor Patronus for a while before he figured it out. At this moment, he was a little dumbfounded, so the tone of Blaise's answer was very tangled and depressed: "Hmm, our eyes are fine."

"I never knew that a lion that was so majestic at one moment could act like a baby..." Pansy also leaned over, looking at the Patronus who was rolling in front of his master at the moment, "The key is that the lion belongs to Gryffindor. sign."

"That's the weird thing," Blaise nodded. "Maybe our chief is hiding something?"

Draco shook his head and patted his friend on the shoulder: "Trust me, Blaise, he's a Slytherin through and through."

On the Gryffindor side, a group of lion cubs whispered excitedly and suspiciously, and Ron lowered his voice to discuss with Harry and Leo the possibility of "that evil Slytherin boss" being schizophrenic. Slytherin mocked for a while: "The first Slytherin who learned the Patronus Charm released a lion!" (1)

Harry didn't pay much attention to Ron's words and deeds. He had already discovered that Godric didn't care about children—although he would confess to Harry afterwards that he was a little helpless—Harry stared at the silver-white lion , frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly realized, tugged on Godric's sleeve beside him: "Leo...could it be..."

Godric didn't answer his question directly, but pulled out his wand and waved it flamboyantly: "Call God for protection!"

Hearing another incantation, everyone's attention was drawn to it, only to see that the tip of the wand of Leo Krydogo, who is recognized as the most Gryffindor student, also spewed out white mist. form entities—

An elegantly gliding snake seemed to have swam down from the Slytherin house emblem. I saw that snake was reserved and elegant, spitting out messages from time to time, but never showing its fangs—absolutely Slytherin style.Godric shocked the audience again after Salazar. Harry saw the doting eyes of his teacher looking at the snake, and knew that his guess was correct—the Patronus changed because of love, or the Patronus in time? Its rare two-way Patronus transformation, such as Professor Snape's doe, is the same as Lily Evans's, which is called a one-way Patronus transformation, and for example, Grindelwald's Patronus just now is the same as Dumbledore, It is Phoenix.Harry looked at Godric and Salazar surrounded by opposite-style Patronuses, and at no moment did he recognize Godric Gryffindor and Salazar Stewart more clearly than now. The difference between Leitlin, completely different, two people who are almost at the extremes, not only came together, founded Hogwarts with Rowena and Helga, but also became lovers who changed two-way patron saints.Harry could only slightly shake his head and sigh, in order to distract the students around him from suspicion about the two patron saints, Harry quickly raised his wand, "Call for protection!"

The last time he summoned the Patronus was when he was practicing Animagus. Harry was eager to practice, but he didn't pay much attention to the type of the Patronus. This time, he could see it clearly. It was clearly a little leopard with an Its hair is still messy, and as soon as it comes out, it jumps at its owner jubilantly, rolling around like a baby, and a group of girls are so cute—after all, a little leopard is cuter than a lion, isn't it?Harry squatted | came up, and teased his Patronus with interest, thinking that it would be great if his Animagus could also be so imposing—at least when he grew up!

Draco also released the Patronus over there, what a joke, after all, he is also the chief of the second year, right?While lamenting the power of the first three, the little animals looked forward to the patron saint of Draco Malfoy, another representative of Slytherin.It gradually took shape, and what appeared in front of everyone was a bird with gorgeous feathers no less than that of a phoenix, but a slender figure than a phoenix, because the patron saints are all silver-white, so the color of the feathers of this bird cannot be seen .Its tail feathers are not as dense as those of the phoenix, but there are five feathers as long as the tail feathers of the phoenix, simple and beautiful.The long and pointed beak made this bird more elegant. There were a few curled-up feathers on the top of the head, and the outstretched wings were soft but not weak. It flew around its master in circles, and finally stopped at Draco's outstretched hand. up, pecked Draco on the cheek, and disappeared.

Grindelwald clapped his hands to break the silence: "Slytherin and Gryffindor each add ten points for the excellent performances of Mr. Resalas, Mr. Critoge, Mr. Potter, and Mr. Malfoy. Now start practicing, remember Control your perception and control your magical power!" Harry swears that the expression on Grindelwald's face is very stiff, oh, he definitely guessed the relationship between Godric and Salazar, and felt the gaze cast by his Defense Against the Dark Arts professor , Harry nodded happily to confirm Grindelwald's conjecture, and then watched the first generation of Dark Lord hold on to the podium, kept looking at Godric and Salazar, and then rubbed his temple vigorously .

"Bracey, Pansy, how are you?" Draco, as the head of the grade, inevitably went to tutor a circle, and after a circle, he walked up to his friend and asked.

Pan Xi pursed her lips: "White Mist, it's still White Mist. I've practiced it a few times before, and it's fine if I don't succeed. I don't know that I have to learn the Patronus Charm that others say is difficult."

Bryce took over the words from the side: "That is, the little dragons usually practice small black magic spells together, and there has never been any talk of learning white magic in Slytherin."

"This is not right," Draco smiled and shook his index finger, "There is no good or bad black and white magic. If you have the ability to learn, it is better to learn more? Look at Lucifer, don't you also use the Patronus Charm?" Are you very proficient in using it? You are inherently more talented than your peers, try more, practice and practice quickly, the key is the mind, and the mind is the most powerful thing."

"Send the idea of ​​a patron saint?" Blaise asked, twirling his wand.

Draco nodded: "Exactly, to have confidence in your own spells, this is a kind of will, even the 'greatest' love that Dumbledore said is a kind of will, so his words It's not unreasonable. When learning the Patronus Charm in the early stage, think more about happy things, things we cherish, which can increase the probability of success, but in the end it is best to release the Patronus without thinking about it, and truly face it. When we were Dementors, it was difficult to recall the cherishment of happiness, but we Slytherins are never good at putting ourselves in danger." Then, Draco showed eight small white teeth.

"Harry, say it again~" Ron looked helplessly at the white mist at the tip of his wand, and said, tugging at the cuff of the black-haired boy's robe.

Harry had no choice but to repeat: "Think of the happiest thing in your mind, and then cast a spell. You must have confidence in your spell. If you have confidence in it, it will not live up to your expectations. Practice a little more. Practice, a pure-blooded family like Weasley will have the same talent to follow the bloodline, so be confident, Ron." As he spoke, he patted the red-haired boy on the shoulder encouragingly.Ron nodded and continued to try, while Harry, like Godric, went to tutor those students of mixed race or hemp race.

It is not groundless that the Patronus Charm is said to be difficult by everyone, let alone a second-grade child, so although everyone is full of fighting spirit, when the last student fully released his Patronus, more than half of October has passed, but This overall successful experience has undoubtedly given the twelve or thirteen-year-old little wizards strong confidence, allowing them to have unremitting belief in themselves no matter what bloodline they are or where they come from. Of course, they also love The new Professor Trelegger, in the letters home, not only excitedly told their parents that they could use the Patronus Charm, but also praised the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor , full of respect and love for the new professor.Harry said with emotion to Draco afterwards, Hermione whose patron saint is a nutria, and Mo Yan whose patron saint is a blue bird that symbolizes happiness. This is very similar to his memory of Lockhart's situation at Hogwarts, but this time Worship is more "worthy" and has a wider scope.

It is worth mentioning that after the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Salazar and Godric's inappropriate Patronuses became the talk of the whole school, and Salazar's Slytherin, who was the most powerful, had nothing to do with it. The little snakes looked at their chief as usual, leading the snake yard to score quietly, asking the little snakes below not to always look above the top - everyone in Grindelwald's Defense Against the Dark Arts class did it Using the Patronus Charm is a good example for him-Slytherin's isolation is more or less inappropriate, so the little snakes don't care what the chief Patronus of their house is, as long as he To be able to take on the responsibility of the head of the house, it would be good to bring Slytherin up.

But Gryffindor is a world above Slytherin. Although everyone thinks that Leo is a passionate Gryffindor, the patron saint form is there, isn't it?In addition, few people know that the patron saint will change due to a big change of heart. Even if they knew, who would think about it?That's why there was such a group of people in Gryffindor, who kept saying Godric was "the evil viper that sneaked into Gryffindor". Some people who have the closest relationship with Godric, such as Harry, Ron, Neville, and Dean in the same dormitory, are still by Godric's side. After all, they have been together for more than a year. Godric is probably They knew a lot about what it was like, and they thought that Godric was clearly Gryffindor, but it was just that the form of the Patronus was not right, and they couldn't judge a person by the Patronus!So although he is sometimes disliked by his own lion cubs, Godric is still very pleased that those lion cubs who insist that he is not an "evil Slytherin" have learned not only to look at the surface, but also under the influence of him and Harry intentionally or unintentionally. think.

Ah, by the way, in October, all Hogwarts students, without exception, except for the first-year children, can use the Patronus Charm, and the Patronus looks either beautiful or cute or Prestige, so during the break time, you can often see all kinds of patron saints running, walking, flying or swimming with their masters, which has become a magnificent scenery of Hogwarts, and the professors can't help but Proud of their students' abilities, Ron swore that he once heard Professor McGonagall tell Professor Sprout that the children of Hogwarts' current classes would definitely bring new life to the wizarding world if they continued like this.

The author has something to say: (1) Note here, except for insiders in Slytherin, no one else knows the existence of the head of the academy. For details, please refer to the chapter "September [-]: The Chief Competition".

Guess what animal Draco's Patronus is?

chapter69. Quidditch Trials

"Harry, are you nervous?" Ron asked as he wiped the sweat from his palms on his pants vigorously. He didn't think he had the guts to watch the selection on the court.Blindly tugging at his sleeves.

Harry patted Ron on the shoulder, "I'm nervous too, buddy, but don't be overly nervous, look at you, shaking like a sieve." No matter what time, Ron's overtension was still the same, so Harry planned to do the same trick again, he leaned slightly towards the nervous red-haired boy who didn't know how to stand, and said mysteriously: "Ron, seeing you like this, I have to help you—— Although I think it's against the rules."

Ron's attention was well distracted, he couldn't help lowering his voice, and asked a little excitedly and expectantly: "That... what?"

"A little charm," said Harry, pulling out his wand, "it will increase your control over broomsticks, but this spell can't be used in competitions, I don't know if it can be used in trials-" Harry's words continued Before finishing speaking, Ron grabbed Harry's sleeve, "Dude, you have to help me, you know how much I love Quidditch! It's my dream to be on the Quidditch team!"

I know, Harry smiled bitterly to himself, Ron is the youngest son of the Weasley family, his brothers are better than the other, and the only girl, Ginny, is the most favored, he has to live in inferiority complex, so even if Harry feels At the beginning, Ron's approach to him was actually a child's vanity, and he didn't care. After all, Ron's mental age was younger than him. Besides, after such a long time, Ron had already become a true friend.Harry could understand Ron's desire to get better and to be recognized, but even psychological comfort in a disguised form was considered cheating, and it was always a bad behavior...Harry decided to help Ron in the end, and he would do it later. Do psychological counseling for him, Harry thought to himself, and pretended to raise his wand to cast a little spell on Ron to stabilize his mind, but unexpectedly, Ron was in front of him before he cast the spell. After a second, Harry was interrupted: "Harry, I think... forget it."

"Forget it?" Harry was really surprised, "But you are so nervous, it's a certainty that you won't pass the selection!"

"I know..." Ron's voice trailed off. He turned his head and glanced at Harry's wand again. It could be seen that he was having a difficult ideological struggle. After a while, when the selection of Slytherin was over, Gran When the Findo Quidditch team was about to start selection, Ron finally said: "I can't cheat, Harry, thank you, I know you always hate opportunism, and decided to help me... I don't think I can cheat, either. In this way, even if selected, it will drag down the Quidditch team of our college in the future."

Harry showed a sincere, big smile. He put his arms around Ron's shoulders, patted hard, and gave his friend a silent encouragement. Ron is growing, maybe...under his influence?Harry thought smugly, looked up and saw the obvious platinum-blonde hair in the new generation of Slytherin Quidditch team exiting, Harry handed him a thumbs up, Draco nodded in response, and gave a smile of encouragement Harry's next selection.

"The Gryffindor College Quidditch team will be selected next, the Chaser first." Mrs. Hodge added a "loud voice" and the words echoed over the Quidditch pitch. Ron calmed down a lot. The kid was nervous again—he was running for Chaser.Harry murmured a few words of encouragement and let Ron play.

Harry knew that excessive nervousness was a big taboo when flying, so he could completely predict Ron's fiasco, which was indeed the case. In addition, the Sweeping Seven Stars that Ron was assigned to bully the weak and fear the strong, so that Ron could not control the broom in flight. If there is a problem, it will be brushed down early.Seeing Ron walking over with a pale face, Harry knew he couldn't say anything, so he just patted him on the shoulder again, giving him silent support.

There was silence for a while, until the Weasley twins became batters again, Ron said, "I'm not good enough, I should practice more, I should practice more..."

"Yes, Ron, you just need to practice more, you can do it." Harry said without a doubt, he believed that Ron would always be able to do it, "I will practice with you, you have to believe that you can do it, I Didn’t I say it? Faith is the strongest.”

"Well, I will definitely work hard!" Hearing Harry's words of confidence in him, Ron felt his confidence doubled in an instant, and clenched his fists, "It's up to you, Harry, Wood is still the goalkeeper."— —The selection after the goalkeeper is for the Seeker, which is the selection that Harry participated in.Harry nodded, "I'm going, cheer me on!"

Ron had already recovered at this time: "Well, Harry, you have to work hard! Beat Slytherin to the ground in the game!" - It seems that he has really recovered, Harry thought to himself with a smile, walking towards In the center of the field, next to Oliver Wood, the current captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team.Including him, a total of five people participated in the selection of the Seeker, except for him, who were all seniors.Wood looked at the five people holding the brooms, and nodded with satisfaction: "I hope you can all show your best, the Gryffindor team hasn't defeated Slytherin for several years! Marcus that The guy doesn't know how many times he laughed at me for this, so we need the best, the best camp!" Harry listened to Captain Wood naturally calling the given name of the current captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team, and sighed: The love for Quidditch really surpasses the discrimination of the school.Wood took out a Snitch and said: "The selection process is very simple. Whoever catches the Snitch first will be the new Seeker!" He let the Snitch fly, and the golden ball disappeared into the bright nine eyes in the blink of an eye. Moon sky.The five people rode on their assigned Sweeping Seven Stars, waiting for Mrs. Hodge's command.

With a sharp whistle, the five brooms rushed into the sky at an extremely fast speed, and the Gryffindors in the surrounding stands who had no classes to watch cheered, as excited as they were watching a Quidditch match.Harry urged Sweeping Seven Stars to speed up, circling in circles over the bright stadium, searching for traces of the Golden Snitch.Time passed as the five figures on broomsticks circled again and again. I don't know how long it took, maybe ten minutes. Harry saw a golden light flying straight towards the high sky. He looked around , the other four didn't see the smear of gold, so Harry didn't intend to speed up quickly--this would make the others follow--but gradually raised the broom, as if to fly a little higher to patrol, flying Into the faint clouds.

The sky at the end of September was as clear as a light blue crystal, with fluffy clouds floating there. Harry shuttled among the clouds, thinking that even if he couldn't catch the Snitch, he could feel it at such a high place. It's worth it too.So Harry simply floated in the extremely high sky, raised his head and closed his eyes to feel the beauty of nature.After staying there for a while, Harry suddenly felt something trembling on the side of his cheek, and subconsciously stretched out his hand, and grabbed a cold metal ball—the Golden Snitch simply retracted its wings in his palm , Harry couldn't help being surprised, and then he became strange: It stands to reason that the Golden Snitch cannot exceed the barrier of the arena, but his height has already exceeded the height of the barrier, right?Thinking about it, Harry unconsciously raised the broom a little bit higher, only to see a scene that left him dumbfounded:

In the incomparably brilliant golden light, two people sat sideways on a broomstick, as comfortable as sitting on a chair. The long black hair of the person on the left was blown by the breeze and pulled down by gravity, doing The perfect curve movement, the charming golden-green eyes are as gorgeous as the green leaves under the bright sunshine.Sitting next to the man with long black hair was a man with blond hair that was as bright as the sun. His sea blue eyes stood out against the sky blue without being obtrusive.The blond man sat tightly next to the black-haired man. If you look carefully, you can still see his palm on the black-haired man's waist, soft but firm.Both of them have soft and peaceful smiles on their faces, just like those who have gone through ups and downs and still stick to their original ideals, peaceful and beautiful.

Harry felt at a loss, he was just participating in a Quidditch trial, who knew he would meet the lion ancestor and the snake ancestor at such a high place, but if he could get up to this height and sit sideways together, I am afraid that the entire Hogwarts There were only eight of them when Ci found it—even if they accidentally fell, they still had powerful magic power to support the floating spell.Just when he was in a dilemma and still holding the snitch, Godric saw his apprentice: "Hey, Harry, how is the selection?"

After being stunned for a moment, Harry replied with a smirk and raised the quiet Golden Snitch in his hand. Godric nodded: "Congratulations~ But Harry, you have also discovered that the sky is really beautiful."

"Uh, uh...that's why I stayed a little longer..." Harry scratched his messy hair and said, "Then... Teacher, Head Slytherin, I'm going down." Harry turned around and went down after saying that Flying straight, Godric shouted cheerfully behind him: "Celebrate tonight!"

So tens of seconds later, everyone in the audience saw Harry Potter, the most interesting person in this trial, suddenly fell from the sky like a free fall, and even worse, at the last second He raised the broom handle and stopped completely as if he had calculated it—but this requires magic power, even a flying broom still has inertia—he quickly got off the broom and patted his heart As if he couldn’t breathe, Wood quickly rushed over to see if there was anything wrong with Harry—he wouldn’t admit that Harry’s dive and sudden braking just now made his blood boil—and he Got an obedient golden snitch, and a golden seeker of the next Gryffindor Quidditch team sitting on the ground and looking up at the sky.

Oliver Wood was speechless with excitement.

As a matter of course, Harry deservedly became the new Seeker. When Harry walked a little stiffly to the excited Ron, he still groaned, well, he is very good at Godric Gregory. The relationship between Ryffindor and Salazar Slytherin has always been unacceptable, especially when he saw the live show of affection, so when everyone in the audience thought that Harry Potter's abnormality was difficult When dealing with the sequelae of the action, Harry is actually building himself up and soothing his frightened heart...

"Harry, you're amazing!" Ron babbled on to his friend on the way back to the castle, "I knew you could do it! That last dive, I swear no professional Quidditch player could have done better— Not even the Charlie Cannons team! You must guide me more in the future, I will strive to at least join the Quidditch team before graduation...Harry, you really don’t need to go to the medical wing?"

Harry waved his hand feebly: He's having a heart attack!

Suddenly a silver-white bird flew over from the corner in front and circled Harry a few times. The patron saint's affinity and nerve injury healing ability (was that too exaggerated?!) made Harry feel a little more relaxed, laughing He shouted at the girl who hadn't come over from the corner: "Yan, it's you."

"Hey, Harry, hey, Ron, how about the Quidditch selection?" Sure enough, it was Mo Yan who turned around the corner—her patron saint is the blue bird, a mythical divine bird, as big as a phoenix, but water-loving. , ice, pure white, emitting a light blue light (1), it is a rare patron saint.Suddenly, Harry felt that his heart disease could be alleviated. He ran to Mo Yan's side in two or three steps, and said in a low voice, "I just met the head of Gryffindor and the head of Slytherin sitting sideways on the broomstick at high altitude. Go up." - Typical I'm uncomfortable and don't make others comfortable!Harry intends to appreciate Mo Yan's expression, but he has to admit that his psychology is very bad, just like in the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class he tacitly told Grindelwald that the lion ancestor and the snake ancestor are lovers who change the two-way patron saint generally.Unexpectedly, Mo Yan's reaction caught him off guard, and Mo Yan grabbed Harry's shoulder excitedly: "Really?! Did you really see it?! You must show me the Pensieve or you will die ...No, no, no, I'm definitely going to ride a broomstick to see...Harry! Give me that memory of yours as a Christmas present!"

"What?" Harry was stunned, "Don't you think... weird?"

Mo Yan blinked, calmed down, and rubbed his chin, "Harry, I don't know either! But I just subconsciously feel that it's only natural for the two of them to be together..." As he spoke, Mo Yan directly brought out a large list of Chinese characters, which are still idioms!Even though Harry had learned Chinese, he only listened to it. He looked at Mo Yan, who was also puzzled by his own reaction, in doubt. He really didn't know what to say. Is it because Mo Yan's nerves are too strong, or is it his own? Too fragile?

The author has something to say: (1) Du Niang's explanation of the blue bird...

In his last life, Mo Yan was not only a fan of Kazakhstan, but also a lion and snake party... O(∩_∩)O

Well, a certain snake is back. . .I'm weak to take a bubble, which proves that I really won't be cheated. I really love and love this article! ! !Hope you guys can support me!I love you all! ! !

chapter70. Deathday party

October came, and a damp chill permeated the grounds and seeped into the castle.There was a sudden flu epidemic among the teaching staff and students, which made Madam Pomfrey, the head nurse, flustered.Her pick-me-up has an immediate effect, but those who drink it leave smoke in their ears for hours on end.Ginny Weasley had been sick lately, and Percy had forced him to drink some pick-me-up.As a result, puffs of steam rose from under her bright hair, and her whole head seemed to be on fire—her hair was already fiery red.Harry asked Godric if Ginny would be okay, and Godric said that with Harry, the ability of the accidental soul slice on his head, it would be good enough to suck up a few mice. It wouldn't be a bad thing for the young Weasley daughter to be a little more vigilant.

Raindrops the size of bullets crackled against the windows of the castle and did not stop for days.The water in the lake rose, there was a mudslide in the flower beds, and Hagrid's pumpkins swelled to the size of the flower sheds.However, Oliver Wood's enthusiasm for regular Quidditch training did not diminish because of this, so we saw Harry return from training and return to Gryffindor on a stormy Saturday evening a few days before Halloween castle.He was drenched and covered in mud--it would be a little weird to use a spell.

Even if it wasn't windy or rainy, the training wouldn't be enjoyable.Fred and George had been scouting the Slytherin team, and they had seen with their own eyes the speed of those new brooms Nimbus 2001.They came back to report that the Slytherins were now just seven faint greenish shadows in the air like jets.Both Gryffindors and Slytherins believed that Lucius Malfoy bought it to encourage his son, but in fact it was kindly provided by Salazar Slytherin - in order to ensure that Slytherin won the House Cup - —Harry was grumbling and walking in the empty corridor, and suddenly saw a man who was as preoccupied as he was.The ghost of Gryffindor Castle, Nearly Headless Nick, was looking out of the window gloomily, muttering in his mouth: "...doesn't meet their conditions... just half an inch, if that..."

"Hi, Nick," said Harry, who guessed what was going to happen, and yes, he remembered some.

"Hello, hello." Nearly Headless Nick was taken aback, looking around.His long curly hair wore a stylish feathered hat, and he wore a knee-length tunic with a wagon-wheel ruff that hid almost his neck. The fact of being completely cut off.He was as intangible as a wisp of smoke, and Harry could look out through his body at the dark sky and the pouring rain.

"What trouble do you seem to have?" Harry asked, clasping his hands that were a little cold. "Headless Hunters? I've read about them."—indeed, look at the wax on the envelope Nick was holding It can be seen from the seal.

Nick looked at Harry, seemed surprised that Harry knew about Headless Hunters, and then said gloomily, "Just a little bit of leather and sinew attached to my neck, Harry! Most people would I think it's actually the same as losing your head. But no, it's not enough in Mr Debord's eyes! So, sadly, I didn't get to join the Headless Hunt."

"I wish I could do something for you about the Headless Hunters - I've heard the Headless Hunters head polo team is the best..." Harry said to himself.Nearly Headless Nick stopped immediately, and Harry walked right through him.He wished he hadn't: it felt like taking an ice bath, and with his wet robes, Harry felt like he'd have to ask Godric for a potion against a cold when he got back.

"You can really do one thing for me," Nick said excitedly, "Harry—is my request too much—no, you won't—" Finally, Nick still planned to say it, maybe Hopefully, since Harry knows about Headless Hunters, "Well, this Halloween will be my [-]th birthday," said Nearly Headless Nick, puffing out his chest and looking regal .

"Oh, congratulations!" Harry beamed appropriately, as if it was a birthday, "So will there be a Deathday party?"

"Yes, yes!" Nick seemed delighted, or surprised, at Harry's reaction. "I'm having a party in one of the more spacious basement classrooms. Friends will be coming from all over the country." Come on. It would be my great honor if you could join. Of course
