"Death anniversary party?!"

Hermione said enthusiastically, her eyes sparkling.

"I bet not many people alive will have the chance to attend a party like this - it must be pretty amazing!"

By this time, they had finished dinner and returned to the luxurious dormitory of Hufflepuff College.

"The gathering of ghosts is indeed a very interesting thing."

Luna was rarely on the same side as Hermione. She was lying limply on the bed, letting the head coach's lady gently pat her arms and calves, giving her a relaxing massage after Quidditch training.

"Compared to the Halloween party that you can see every year, once you miss this invitation, you don't know how long you have to wait..."

"But, aren't we going to have dinner?"

Hannah hesitated, "I mean, the food provided by the ghosts at the party is probably not suitable for living people..."

"We can eat a little first, or we can sneak to the auditorium to attend the banquet after it's over."

Elena quickly replied disapprovingly, while reading "Hogwarts: A History of the School" at the desk, while thoughtfully sketching on "Famous Wizards of the Middle Ages" on the side.

"Besides, the banquet is prepared by the Hogwarts kitchen. Nick's current request is to prepare some food with 'strong flavor' and 'shocking images'. I will try my best to take into account our stomachs and the spiritual experience of the ghosts - this is

Just like the decorative elements of Halloween, it can be biased towards horror style or fairy tale cheerful."

"Why would anyone want to celebrate the day of their death?"

Danilova sat on the edge of the bed, tilted her head and slowly dried her wet hair with a towel, and asked in confusion.

"Anyway, it sounds depressing to me..."

"Well, there are many explanations for this. I prefer the "birthday theory" - if you regard a wizard's life before death and after death as two periods of life, then when he turns into a ghost, wouldn't it be

Is it equivalent to a new beginning in life?"

This time it was Hermione who answered. She recalled the introductions she had read and spoke uncertainly.

"That's what I say, but I also feel..."

At this moment, the flames in the fireplace outside the bedroom suddenly turned green.

The next moment, a cute little fat chicken flew out from inside.

Guhahahaha——

"Reserve food?! How do you...wait-"

Hannah looked in shock at the little chubby cock that landed on Elena's shoulder and rubbed the girl affectionately.

"It's just a Floo fan, what's weird about this."

Elena took the letter from the food reserve and explained casually.

"I forgot to tell you before, the name of our room is now called 'Guhahahaha'."

In order to ensure smooth communication, she specifically asked Dumbledore to use the principal's authority to name this bedroom. In addition to the cry of food reserves, another layer of protection is the blockade of the local area network - the fireplace connected here is limited to this

Inside a castle.

As for the IQ of the food reserve, in Elena's opinion, it may be smarter than Dumbledore's big turkey.

Elena shook off the letter and carefully read the "Queen's" inquiry and response letter that she marked as urgent.

really--

A flash of understanding flashed in the young Dark Lord's eyes.

There was only a very simple and clueless reply on the letter.

"1350-1492: No such person found."

There is no wizard named "Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington" in the records of Gringotts Wizarding Bank.

Just like Helena Ravenclaw, who now goes by the pseudonym "Lady Grey", "Sir Nicholas" is obviously a non-existent pseudonym, or a "personality nickname" - which is not common in the wizarding world.

Not uncommon.

But the problem is that Sir Nicholas has recorded it in many books.

There are historical documents that can be consulted, friends that can be used as proof, and a complete life... But in the reflection of the real world, there are no traces of survival, which reminded Elena of an interesting thing.

With a long history, good reputation, ancient and pure - [Apocalis Family].

"Kenaz—"

Elena flicked her fingers, and a wisp of flame quickly engulfed the note in her hand.

"Who are you, and...what are you hiding? Dear Mr. Nicholas."

…

Halloween.

It was still raining heavily outside the window, and the sky was as dark as ink.

The common room of Gryffindor House was bright and cheerful, with countless soft armchairs illuminated by the firelight. Young wizards sat in it reading, playing chess, and chatting. The professors mercifully did not assign too many homework, so that

The students were able to welcome the Halloween party in a more cheerful and relaxed mood.

Except for Miss Hermione Granger, she also has some extra homework to finish.

"This is completely unbelievable. They must have used magic to cheat..."

Hermione muttered reluctantly, as she was completing the last after-school exercises in advanced mathematics.

"Why can Professor Lockhart memorize an entire dictionary in half a day? I'm not complaining... I just think, Elena, is there something you're not telling me... This is so unreasonable, human

Memory has its limits."

Ever since she followed Elena to the outside of school on the weekend and saw the so-called "adult world", Hermione's original impetuousness and pride had been mostly smoothed away almost overnight - perhaps in Hogwarts.

She is considered extremely outstanding among her peers, but when she was in the "Academy City" research institute, she was just a little smart.

Not to mention those foreign scholars who were almost monsters, even her "classmates" were much better than her.

In addition to her, Professor Lockhart and Professor Quirrell were also there on weekends to tutor on Muggle knowledge.

As a member of the "Magic-Science" cram school in the same period, the last person in each test will be punished - double the homework of other students, and Hermione received almost 90% of the punishment.

"Perhaps this is talent, otherwise how could someone become a professor——"

Elena shrugged, frowning as she looked at a document on the history of the Tudor Dynasty in her hand.

During this period, the later British authors who studied the Tudor Dynasty had not published books yet. Even if Gringotts Wizarding Bank launched a financial offensive, they could only find a bunch of troublesome historical materials in a short period of time.

Just like the feedback from Gringotts, if you look up "Nearly Headless Nick" in "The Ghost of Hogwarts" and his own description, you can't find any similar records in the Henry VII period -

Perhaps it was normal for other wizards in other countries, but it would be too strange for the Tudor Dynasty, which attached great importance to the title system.

What's even more weird is that in Hogwarts, no matter the collection of books, the ghosts' oral accounts are surprisingly consistent.

"Granger, do you remember how many versions there were when we looked up the time when Hogwarts was founded?"

Elena tapped the book cover with her fingers and asked softly thoughtfully.

"About four or five versions. After all, it was many years ago...Recording discrepancies are very common."

Hermione was working on her homework without raising her head, and said casually with some irritation.

"Why are you asking this? Let me tell you first, I don't have time to help you sort out the history of magic recently - are all the people living in those Mendeleev Institutes and Landau Institutes monsters? This level of difficulty

The homework is not considered entry-level?"

"In a sense, you can understand it...but you are also very powerful."

Elena glanced at the pile of exercises Hermione was about to finish writing in her hand, and played with her hair guiltily.

You know, she originally arranged the intensity of study with the idea of ​​letting Hermione give up.

Who knew that it would stimulate Hermione's motivation. After realizing that there were more geniuses in the world, Hermione Granger, after being depressed for less than half a day, completely corrected her mentality and showed up in a shocking way.

The speed is starting to get used to it.

Fortunately, the simple "Calculator Ji" has not yet realized that he has been cheated.

At least at this stage, Elena, who relies on her foresight to propose various ideas and discuss scientific research directions with top scholars in a decent manner, is still quite intimidating - although such time may not be long...

However, there is no need to think about these things in the future so much for the time being.

"Aren't there any wrong versions or deviations... What a pity -"

Elena's eyes paused for a moment on the material describing the "Tudor Dynasty" in her hand. If even Professor Binns, who has always been loyal to the historical truth, was involved, then according to the coincidence theory, all the motives and answers would be completely put together.

.

If nothing else, tonight’s 500th anniversary performance will be the last performance.

In this case……

Elena's eyes lingered in the Gryffindor lounge for a few seconds.

At this moment, most of the students, including Luna and Hannah, were curiously gathering around a large table by the fireplace.

In the center of the table lay a bright orange lizard - this was secretly "rescued" by the Weasley twins from the Magical Beasts Classroom - and they were about to feed it some magic fireworks to see what effect it would have.
To be continued...
