October has just arrived, and Hogwarts Castle is already shrouded in strong winds and heavy rain.
The heavy rain that lasted for several days caused the surrounding temperature to drop sharply. The cold air spread under the rain curtain and quietly penetrated into the castle.
After Albert noticed that he had a cold, he immediately went to the campus hospital and got a cup of refreshing potion from the head nurse, Madam Pomfrey. The effect was immediate after drinking the potion. However, the downside is that drinking the potion
Some people will have smoke coming out of their ears for several hours.
For this reason, the twin brothers also gloated a lot.
As a result, the two of them had not been jumping around for a few days, and their ears started to smoke. However, this seemed to be a fun thing for the Weasley twins. They even made a train whistle sound on purpose, making everyone laugh.
.
Outside the window, the rain is still falling.
The Gryffindor common room was brightly lit, with a roaring fire burning in the fireplace, making it warm and comfortable. At this moment, Albert was sitting next to a window with his roommates, doing homework.
"Tell me, will the garlic seedlings be soaked by the rain? This rain has been going on for several days." George raised his head and looked at the dim rain curtain outside the window, looking unhappy.
"Be careful, if I were you, I would pay attention to your homework." Albert reminded, "Don't ruin the paper you are about to finish."
"Ah!" George found a drop of ink on his parchment and couldn't help but screamed, "It's finished, my homework."
"Stop howling, who distracted you while you were doing your homework?" Angelina's temper was not very good. The Quidditch training a while ago gave her a cold. Even after drinking Madam Pomfrey's refreshing potion, her head was numb.
I'm still a little groggy now and can't concentrate on my homework.
"Should we go check it out? I'm a little worried that the garlic will be soaked in water and rot." Fred suggested anxiously.
With such bad weather, they couldn't check the sprouting of garlic.
Albert couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, and thought to himself: "This is the difference between planting outside and planting in a flower pot!"
"If you're worried about garlic, go out and check, but don't look for me." Li Jordan said angrily. Smoke was still coming from his ears. The unfortunate guy had just drank Madam Pomfrey's refreshing potion.
This freshmen class was almost wiped out by the epidemic.
"It's useless to go out to check, and there's nothing you can do." George was also depressed. He finally waited for the garlic to sprout, but then came the heavy rain that lasted for several days, and the newly sprouted garlic sprouts were all soaked in water.
They just grow garlic. Is it really that difficult?
For some reason, the common room suddenly became lively, and people were talking excitedly about something.
"What happened?" Angelina asked Albert.
"How would I know." Albert stared at the chrysanthemum he had conjured with a bit of depression, and placed it in the vase next to him. The chrysanthemums blooming in the vase were all the results of Albert's practice of summoning.
"Notice to Hogsmeade." Lee Jordan pointed to a notice on the old notice board and said, "At the end of October, before Halloween."
"Yes, but that's an activity for third-year students." Angelina corrected. She looked a little anxious, and the buzzing chatter in the lounge affected her concentration.
"Actually, I'm looking forward to this year's Halloween." Albert has already been to Hogsmeade and is not interested in the only wizarding village in the UK. "I heard from the seniors that Halloween at Hogwarts is very special."
Yes, there will be bats flying everywhere in the castle that day, jack-o-lanterns and pumpkin delicacies, and there will also be a party to celebrate Halloween in the evening."
In the novel, after Harry Potter comes to Hogwarts, some monsters always appear on Halloween every year:
In the first grade, trolls broke into the castle; in the second grade, Filch's cat was petrified; in the third grade, the wanted criminal Black tried to break into the Gryffindor common room; in the fourth grade, the school welcomed
Other contestants in the Triwizard Tournament; in fifth grade...
Aaliyah raised her eyebrows and asked, "I don't think there's anything particularly fun about Halloween."
"Don't you think it would be more fun if we all spend Halloween together?" Albert explained, "It's fun to play games together, and it's fun to celebrate holidays together."
"It makes sense." Li Qiaodan agreed.
"Last time, when I went to find Hagrid, I found that in the vegetable patch in his backyard, every pumpkin was half a person tall." Albert continued, "Those pumpkins should be prepared for Halloween."
There is no doubt that Hagrid used a swelling spell on the pumpkin.
In fact, Albert thought that the twins could use the expansion spell on the garlic they grew, since they wouldn't eat it anyway.
Well! If only Fred and George could use the Expansion Charm.
Unfortunately, everyone seems to be more interested in Hogsmeade than Halloween. They also heard second-year students complaining about why only third-year students can go to Hogsmeade.
However, Albert and his roommates were not as enthusiastic about Hogsmeade as others. After all, they had just been to Hogsmeade not long ago, and there was not much mystery there to them.
It feels good, and it’s useless if you don’t have any money in your pocket.
After the rain gradually subsided, the twins immediately took up umbrellas and went to check on the garlic. By the way, they also took Albert, who was practicing summoning, with them.
The current situation is not very optimistic. All the garlic sprouts have rotted after being soaked in water for too long.
The expressions on several people's faces were as gloomy as the dark clouds in the sky.
I had no choice but to wait a long time for the garlic seedlings to germinate, but everything was ruined by a heavy rain.
The twins who had put so much effort into this suddenly became depressed.
"What are you doing?" Hagrid's furious voice came from the rain.
When the three of them looked in the direction of the sound, they saw Hagrid rushing towards them without even holding an umbrella, and his body was all wet from the rain.
He originally thought that a few people were planning to enter the forest, so he rushed over in a hurry, his nose almost twisted with anger.
Albert briefly explained the situation, and Hagrid was stunned. He pointed at the twins in disbelief and said, "You grow garlic here?"
Hagrid believed it when he saw the soil bags that had been turned over and the rotten garlic.
"Ahem, actually, they just want to use garlic to try to make a... amulet, which requires a lot of garlic!" Albert quickly explained.
"This is definitely the stupidest thing I've ever heard." Hagrid looked at the three of them speechlessly, reached out and patted Fred and George on the shoulders and said, "It's just planting garlic. Don't be depressed. I can give it to you again."
You guys will plant it next to my vegetable garden this time."
"No, Hagrid." Albert interrupted, "This time we plan to transplant the garlic into flower pots and then move the flower pots back to the dormitory. We don't have to worry about heavy rain. The only trouble is that every
I need to move out to compete with the Suns for a while."
