Luke returned to Hogwarts Castle with a calm heart. In his hand was a pile of Honeydukes’ limited Christmas candies.
Just in time for lunch, Luke placed a large bag of candy on the table, attracting the attention of a lot of classmates.
Hermione, who was never polite to Luke, casually opened the package and revealed the candy inside.
Crystal skull chocolate, mumoyin bubble gum, ghost gummy candies and pumpkin hard candies.
These candies are only slightly better than average candies in taste. After all, during the holidays, the materials used are more solid. But correspondingly, the prices of these candies are too expensive. It can even be twice as expensive as normal candies.
Of course the professors prepare candy for the students on Halloween. There’s never a shortage of candy at Halloween dinner. But... the school's funds are always limited. Even with a financial backer like Luke, the school's funds are not rich enough to allow students to freely eat such candies.
"For us?"
Hermione spoke a question in a declarative tone.
And Luke just nodded. What else? Does he eat so many candies by himself?
As he spoke, he took out a piece of Crystal Skull chocolate from the package. The idea of this candy obviously comes from South American legends, although the South American wizarding community claims that their crystal skulls are not legends, but real.
But I haven't seen any real evidence from them, so the British wizarding community really regards such things as legends.
And Luke knows that this is indeed not a legend. The Crystal Skull does exist. At least a certain ancestor of the Gaunt family has actually seen one of them. Moreover, a large part of the Gunter family's treasure trove comes from Mayan temples in South America.
It is a pity that things like the Crystal Skull were not occupied by the Gaunt family after all, but were lost in some corner of the world, waiting for someone to wake them up.
But... these have nothing to do with Luke eating it. Luke just likes to eat chocolate.
He doesn't like bubble gum, and he doesn't like hard candies either. After putting the piece of Crystal Skull Chocolate into his mouth, which opened and closed his jaw and sang a nursery rhyme, his hand reached for another piece of gummy candy.
Gummy’s surname looks like a Q version of a ghost. Poke it and it will let out a hoarse roar. Luke himself didn't see much of the similarity between the candy and the ghost, but after the ghost floating in the castle looked at the look of fear on his face when he saw the candy being stuffed into Luke's mouth, Luke felt that the designer of this candy must have something up his sleeve.
Peeves in the distance looked like he wanted to say something to Luke, but seeing Luke glaring at him while chewing the ghost gummies in his mouth, Peeves didn't dare to move forward.
Of course, these candies are fun. Although the price is expensive and the taste is not much better, it can be seen that there is considerable care. The money was not spent on packaging, but on these small ideas. Luke felt that the money was worth it.
Although Luke is not used to eating bubble gum, Minaoyin bubble gum is indeed the most interesting one among all the candies.
George and Fred each stuffed a piece of Mummy Bubble Gum into their mouths, chewed it, and blew a big bubble. Maybe it's because the bubble gum material in the wizarding world is special, or maybe the twins are really good at blowing bubbles. In short, this bubble was blown very big.
In the spotlight of everyone, these two bubbles finally burst at the maximum limit they could reach.
But when these two bubbles burst, they turned into many white bandages. The two people's bandages were tangled together, and they were pulling each other towards them.
The twins were locked in a wrestling match, with their hands on the edge of the table, trying hard to resist each other's pull.
The two were in a stalemate for a long time. After a while, the bandages seemed to have lost their strength, and they all drooped down on their chins, like a bunch of white beards.
The twins spit out the bubble gum in their mouths, looked at each other and laughed.
.
Others were also eating various candies. Since Luke went out to buy candies, he naturally would not buy just these four varieties. The others were not limited to Christmas, and there were not so many bells and whistles, but he naturally bought more expensive and more delicious candies.
However, most students still chose to eat these four candies.
Harry and Ron were eyeing the last pumpkin candies. After they stuffed the candies into their mouths, they looked at each other and immediately started laughing. Then they all understood why the other person was laughing.
The people around them laughed endlessly as they looked at the two men who were staring at the pumpkin heads like two pumpkin knights.
The entire table, and even the entire restaurant, was filled with a happy atmosphere.
Professor McGonagall has finally finished transforming the entire school. Luke, the little bastard, gave up and she had to come alone.
However, when passing by the auditorium and seeing the happy expressions of the children, she couldn't help but smile. Although he quickly restrained himself. However, the afterglow of happiness can still be seen between his eyebrows.
She wasn't quite sure what Luke was doing out there, but she knew it was definitely more than just preparing candies.
But she didn't think too much. Thinking about it would only cause more trouble for herself.
Professor McGonagall would never really get into trouble with herself. Since I can't control Luke anymore, I might as well let him go. Anyway, I already know enough about Luke's style to know that even if Luke has some minor flaws, he will never make any principled mistakes.
Professor McGonagall looked at the faint smile on Luke's face, frowned, and walked into the small cafeteria of the professors.
"You don't look very happy."
Tyler's voice rang in Luke's ears.
He turned his head to look and saw Taylor's concerned eyes. After giving Taylor a "don't worry" smile, Luke took a deep breath but said nothing.
Taylor pursed her lips. She didn't quite understand what Luke was worried about in this great situation.
After all, compared to last year, Luke's layout this year is much more mature and safer.
Although it was largely due to the fact that they occupied a considerable geographical advantage, in the final analysis, Voldemort was easily solved without even causing any big disturbance.
It seems that there are some conflicts in the school due to the control. But the conflict itself was initiated by Luke himself. That's a trap.
And compared to last year, it seems that everyone's life is as usual, but in fact the danger level is many times higher. Apart from anything else, if they had really alerted the enemy last year and made Voldemort aware of their arrangement in advance, then when Voldemort went crazy, many students would have been killed or injured.
[The problem of slow update of new chapters can be solved by
It's just that he did see too many surprising things in the secret room, which made him a little nervous.
But overall it's good.
After dealing with Voldemort, Taylor didn't know if anything else would happen. But in the final analysis, Luke shouldn't be so unhappy now.
Without thinking too much, Taylor blamed the problem on his outing today.
Taylor doesn't know what Luke did out today, but judging from his current performance, Luke's achievement of his purpose may only be said to be unsatisfactory.
Taylor quietly moved closer to Luke, reached out and held his hand, and whispered in his ear: "Don't worry, look forward, no matter what happens, we will face it together."
Luke smiled when he heard this, took out his hand and touched Taylor's head. Taylor is much taller than the average girl. If Luke hadn't grown a lot taller with the help of Snape's potion, there might have been a little bit of violation when doing this action. .
Taylor frowned and looked at Luke with dissatisfaction.
Hermione, who was opposite the two of them, looked at the two of them suspiciously. For a moment, the ghost gummies in her mouth didn't feel so sweet anymore.
I always feel like something happened that I don't know clearly.
And just when everyone was happy, two little girls, Luna and Ginny, who had not shown up from the beginning, suddenly popped up. The two of them were each carrying a large backpack.
And when the two of them saw a group of people at the dinner table who had eaten pumpkin hard candies and turned into pumpkin heads, they were a little confused for a while.
"Luna! What did you get?"
George looked at the two stunned girls and quickly greeted them and asked.
The little wizard, who was immersed in joy, also saw the two girls. They started talking to each other and started asking questions.
Gemini and Luke are very close. And they all know that the little girl Luna's status in Luke's heart should be close to Hermione, Tyler, and Gemma.
George and Fred are so good. They know very well that Hermione, Taylor, and Gemma are three girls who have different statuses around Luke. In addition to being close to Luke themselves, another big reason is because the three of them have different statuses. Each has its own strengths.
It was no secret in their small circle that Gemma helped Luke manage the property. Everyone lamented how much Luke believed in Gemma. But Gemma didn't betray Luke's trust.
As for Tyler and Hermione. They didn't know what the two girls were working on, but it was obviously something important to Luke.
But Luna is different from them. Luna just doesn't see any use next to Luke. But the status still seems to be important.
How smart they two are! The girl next to the boss, who knows that there is rain in that cloud. So the two of them have a good relationship with these four girls.
But the girls are really likeable. Even Luna, who was out-of-the-box and unconventional, didn't feel anything bad about this girl when they got along.
And Luna's casualness and naturalness also left a very deep impression on the two of them.
"This is a mask!" Ginny replied before Luna could speak, "The two of us made the mask for you!"
It stands to reason that there is a tradition of costume parties on Halloween night, but because the location of Hogwarts Castle is deserted and it is difficult to manage a group of students going crazy all night, so professors generally do not hold costume parties. . That's it for a Halloween dinner.
Of course, there will be no restrictions on what everyone wears during the dinner. In other words, if you want to put on makeup, feel free to do so. But I don’t recommend everyone to pretend to be a ghost.
Because there is a real ghost sitting with you.
With that said, Ginny, being an activist, started distributing masks to everyone. Harry swallowed the hard candy in his mouth and his head changed back from pumpkin head. Looking at the vampire mask in his hand, I didn't know what to say for a moment.
The mask is very well made. Although a little bit of roughness can be seen in the details, this little bit of roughness is proof that these masks were made by two little girls.
So he put the mask on his face. I didn't feel any magic effects, and just think about it, if they could make magic props, even very simple magic props, then Ginny and the others could join George and Fred in making money.
Luke looked at the two girls in front of him, then at the mask in his hand, which was obviously different from the others, and laughed dumbly.
"Take it and take a look! Luna and I specially designed it for you!"
Ginny looked proud. This was no nonsense. The other people's masks were all modeled after the masks they had seen in their memories. Only Luke's mask was made by the two of them with a lot of effort.
Luke listened to their words and put on his mask. There was also a burst of praise from around me.
Time passed slowly amid the relaxed laughter.
Finally...the Halloween dinner has begun.
