Chapter 55: Halloween Eve

　　 The relationship between the bedrooms has improved.
　　 at least on the surface.
　　 Matthew, Crabbe, Gore, and Malfoy, they all began to call each other by first name, instead of calling each other's last name as before.
　　 At least in the eyes of "outsiders", they are now "friends" who have a very good relationship.
During class, they would sit together; when Draco received the package from home, he would also share the candy and the like with Matthew; and Matthew’s homework and papers would also be given to them A few to "plagiarize"...
　　 Of course, these are all appearances.
　　 Matthew could feel that his "friends" often trembled slightly in their voices when they were talking with him.
　　 They are all afraid of themselves, and their behavior is more like "to please" themselves.
　　Maybe they don't understand the reason for this fear...maybe it just comes from their subconscious.
　　 And Matthew knows that this is mostly the influence of that book; how to say it, it can be regarded as a positive influence.
　　 He didn't stop the development of this relationship either.
　　 At first, he was worried that if he had too much contact with these roommates, would it happen that Theodore Knott had another "morbidity"?
　　 But it turns out that he has been worrying too much, and several roommates have been in good condition.

Time flies!
　　 When Matthew Wickfield realized that he had been at Hogwarts for two full months, he felt a little unbelievable.
　　 But I have to say that the castle feels more like home day by day. He never seemed to feel this way before in the house on Witton Road in Northampton.
　　 Some of the most basic knowledge is gradually controlled by him, and he can also start to try some slightly more complicated magic.
　　 But the weather throughout October has been continuous.
　　 sometimes it was a continuous drizzle, sometimes it was a downpour, and it never stopped anyway. Fortunately, for the first-year freshmen, they only need to leave the castle when they have herbal medicine classes... But even so, the herbal medicine classes three times a week have caused them to suffer.
　　 If Hogwarts was not in the Scottish Highlands, but in some low-lying areas, Matthew would even worry about flooding.

　　 On the eve of Halloween, when they came to the auditorium, they immediately smelled a tempting smell of roasted pumpkin.
　　 In the morning transformation class, Professor Troca announced that they could try to transform some animals. Of course it is very simple, such as turning a mouse into a snuff box.
　　 There is no doubt that this is a very interesting course.
　　Although it is very difficult, even after class, there is a very obvious rat tail on the snuff box Matthew conjured up.
　　 And the afternoon class was cancelled. Matthew stayed in the library for an afternoon, reading a few books related to Transfiguration, thinking about the mistakes he made in the morning.
　　 And at dinner, when Matthew arrived in the auditorium—
　　He found that there were lights and colorful lights and candlelight shining here today; the table was full of gold plates, just like at the school banquet.
　　 When I walked into the auditorium, the scene inside was even more spectacular
　　 Thousands of bats flap their wings on the ceiling and walls, and bats swoop down from time to time. A bat flew to Matthew's side. Matthew stretched out his finger and touched it lightly. It turned into a mass of ashes... These bats were all made by magic, not real.
　　 and hundreds of pumpkin lanterns with candles in their stomachs are everywhere in the auditorium, replacing the previous candles, illuminating the entire auditorium.
　　 There are many orange-yellow banners burning flames around the pumpkin lanterns.
　　 There are also groups of low dark clouds hovering above the dining table, so that the candle flames in the pumpkin's belly flicker.

　　 After sitting between Draco Malfoy and Theodore Knott, Matthew looked up at the guest seat.
What is surprising is that he actually saw Professor Rozier in the main guest seat. She looked great. She was talking with Professor Sprout... Not that it would take at least a month for Professor Rozier to be able to Recovery? This is less than half a month, Matthew thought to himself.
　　Professor Grindelwald also attended the Halloween dinner, but his expression was a little tired. He was tilting his head and seemed to doze off a little.
　　 Soon, the dinner party began!
　　The delicious food suddenly appeared on the golden plate in front of him, just like at the school banquet.
　　 tastes great, at least it is much richer and more delicious than usual dinners.
　　 "Matthew, you can try this lamb chop!" Draco said with some compliments on one side~EbookFREE.me~Okay, thank you! Matthew just nodded, and suddenly he frowned because he vaguely heard a very dull voice outside the auditorium.
　　 With a "bang", the door of the auditorium was opened.
　　 Then, Professor Silvanos Kettleburn rushed in.
The professor of the protection of magical animals and the guard of the forbidden forest, looked extremely embarrassed at this time... He was wet from the rain and messed up all over his body. The wand was held on the prosthetic limb of his right hand, and the expression on his face was full. With dignity and anxiety, but also seems very tired.
　　 The entire auditorium suddenly became silent, and most people's eyes were on him.
　　 Principal Grindelwald in the main guest seat also realized that something was wrong, and stood up.
　　 I saw Professor Keitelburn walk quickly to the main guest table and came to Professor Grindelwald.
　　 He tilted his body, leaned his prosthetic limb on the table, panting, and whispered these things over there.
　　Matthew noticed that Grindelwald's expression had changed significantly.
　　 "Premier." He said in a low voice: "Today's dinner is over early. Please take all the students from the colleges back to the dormitory immediately."
After 　　 finished speaking, the familiar light blue smoke appeared in the center of the main guest seat again.
　　As the smoke dissipated, Professor Grindelwald and Professor Kettleborn disappeared from everyone's sight.
　　……
　　 "First-year freshmen, you come with me!" Matthew heard the voice of Slytherin Prefect Jamal Farley.
　　 Farley seems to be familiar with this, she forcibly pulled Crabbe and Gore who were still eating lamb chops...
　　 then led more than a dozen students and hurried to the basement.
