Chapter 161: Halloween is coming

The destroyed statue in front of the principal's office and the mysterious dog that appeared in the forbidden forest... These two disturbances gradually disappeared from the heated discussion among the students until more than a week later.
Everything was calm again. On the surface, Hogwarts Castle began to slowly recover from the previous state of emergency.
Days pass by like this...
Professor Horace Slughorn was nothing unusual. He didn't even ask Matthew to talk about Matthew leaving that night...as if he hadn't noticed that Matthew had left early.
And "Severus Snape" quickly returned to everyone. Matthew often went to him for inquiries, and he was very happy to answer some questions about deformation theory.
Soon, Halloween is here.
The atmosphere in Hogwarts Castle is very enthusiastic, because the day before Halloween, they can go to Hogsmeade for another day!
Walking in the corridors, you can hear everyone discussing Hogsmeade, about Honey Duke Candy Shop, Joko Joke Shop, and even Screaming Shack...
...
For breakfast the day before Halloween, Matthew woke up with other students.
But when he went to the auditorium for breakfast, he was far less excited than the other students, but behaved very ordinary.
Because Matthew did not intend to go to Hogsmeade.
The experience at Hogsmeade a month ago left him a deep "psychological shadow"... Even if I guess from the bottom of my heart, there is a high probability that Tom Gunter will never come back; Matthew did not dare to take this risk at all. .
In case of another accident, he can't guarantee that the barman at the Pig's Head will be able to save him again.
Just stay at Hogwarts obediently, at least there are Aurors, Dementors and many teachers here, which can be called safe.
After breakfast, the number of people in the castle was reduced by half.
Except for some first-year students (who are not currently qualified to go to Hogsmeade), as well as a few senior students, obviously they have been to Hogsmeade many times, and they don't feel new anymore.
Matthew walked in the direction of the library alone... he was sure that the library would be quiet today.
"Meow!" As he passed the door of the magic history classroom, Matthew suddenly heard a strange cat cry.
He fixed his eyes and saw a big cat.
It's Crookshanks, Hermione Granger's pet.
It bounced and jumped into the magic history classroom, as if chasing something.
Matthew had to admit that this ugly big cat had always behaved a bit weird this semester... or that it was a little abnormal after returning from India with Hermione.
Last semester, Matthew remembered that it was pretty well-behaved, far less "restless" than it is now.
Does this mean anything?
Matthew thought about it as he slowly came to the library.
But in the library, Matthew met an acquaintance
"Good morning!" Agnes Lestrange was sitting in the corner of the library. She raised her head and smiled at Matthew.
"Hello!" Matthew also smiled at her.
...
It was not until night fell that Matthew left the library.
He reached the hall and walked towards the auditorium.
The auditorium is decorated with countless pumpkins with candles, a large group of bats are flying in mid-air, and many colorful banners are flying in mid-air...
I have to say that the atmosphere of Halloween is very strong.
The food is so delicious, even the students who returned from Hogsmeade, stuffed with Honey Duke candies, kept adding to their plates.
Matthew looked at the staff table--
Principal Gellert Grindelwald appeared at the table again.
This Hogwarts principal has always been very busy, and will only return to Hogwarts on holidays. Everyone, including Matthew, is used to this.
This is also the first time Matthew has seen him this semester since the school banquet.
Matthew's gaze swept across the faculty table, and finally fell on Professor "Severus Snape"... Professor "Snape" looked as usual, talking with the surrounding teachers in a pleasant manner.
But Matthew noticed that Professor Snape's eyes frequently glanced at President Grindelwald, and it was a little unusual.
At the end of the banquet, there is a performance by the ghosts of Hogwarts; this is also the annual after-show on Halloween.
The ghosts frequently sprang from the walls and tables, gliding in a very neat formation...
The students also applauded courtesy.
...
After the performance of the ghosts ended, it also meant that the banquet on Halloween finally came to an end.
The students began to leave the auditorium one after another, and of course teachers and ghosts.
In the end, in a hugely lit auditorium, only Grindelwald and Rozier were left.
"Vita, tell me, what happened during this time?" Professor Gellert Grindelwald's expression looked a little tired, a bit tired from the journey.
"As you expected, Lord Grindelwald." Professor Rozier replied very calmly:
"Obviously, those rats are targeting Hogwarts, and they have easily mixed in... We don't know the specific method... They tried to break into the principal's office and succeeded for a while. Fortunately……"
"What they want is not in the principal's office, right?" Grindelwald interrupted suddenly.
"Yes," Rozier said with a smile, "There is nothing in this world that can escape your eyes..."
"No~EbookFREE.me~Vita," Grindelwald shook his head very seriously, "I was never omniscient, and no one can do this... prophecy, its true meaning The future is enlightenment, rather than limiting your future to a rigid frame..."
"...Fate should be ours, not our future by prophecy!"
Rozier nodded thoughtfully.
After a while, she continued to report: "From the current situation, those rats know our situation well, which is not normal... Lord Grindelwald, I suspect that Hogwarts has their spies... "
"There is a possibility," Grindelwald replied calmly, "This world has never been monolithic..."
"I will get the rat lurking inside us as soon as possible!" Rozier said firmly.
"No..." Grindelwald shook his head, "To be precise, it's actually a phoenix lurking among us!"
