The food at the banquet was also interesting.
Noah glanced at the thick soup in his bowl. As he stopped stirring, something like an eyeball suddenly emerged from the bottom of the soup, turned around and stared at him faintly.
Noah: "..." Who came up with this?
Although Noah is not unable to accept it and has eaten this kind of food more than once, he still wants to complain every time he sees it.
What was even more shocking was that the spoon in Warrington's hand was inadvertently bitten by the jack-o'-lantern on the table, and was chewed up and swallowed after a few clicks.
The person involved was speechless: "Aren't this year's jack-o-lanterns a bit fierce?"
Noah glanced at the jack-o'-lantern in front of him, which was staring at his bowl with eagerness: "Maybe it's because Gryffindor carved it."
You see, the jack-o-lanterns on other tables are not so fierce.
"Tsk, damn lion."
But Gryffindor probably didn't feel too good about it either, because this year's table decoration was purchased by Slytherin.
As expected, an exclamation came from the long Gryffindor table opposite two seconds later. An unlucky little wizard had his finger bitten by an ornament and was shaking his hands frantically in an attempt to break free.
Tonight's Halloween dinner was still very lively, and even a candy salute was prepared after the banquet. Fireworks suddenly exploded from the largest pumpkin lantern, and countless candies fell from the sky, crackling and smashing all over the auditorium.
Not surprisingly, this is Principal Dumbledore's annual surprise.
The little wizards left the auditorium one after another, chattering among themselves.
Until they reached the corridor, the laughter stopped suddenly as if the pause button had been pressed.
The trio of protagonists were standing blankly in the corridor, and a line of red writing on the wall shimmered under the firelight.
[The secret room has been opened,
Be wary of those who are enemies of the heir. 】
Mrs. Norris's tail was hanging on the torch holder under this line of writing. This frighteningly skinny cat was as stiff as a board at the moment, its eyes were wide open abnormally, and it was staring straight at the people in the corridor. Little wizards.
Until someone suddenly said loudly: "If you are an enemy of the successor, be careful! You are next, Mudblood!"
Draco, who spoke loudly, pushed his way to the front from the crowd, his cold eyes became vivid, and his face turned red. He couldn't tell whether it was because of excitement or something else. He stared at the stiff cat, and his face showed what could be called A ferocious smile.
Noah stood among the crowd, his silver-grey eyes staring at the words on the wall. After a while, he turned away and scanned the faces of every little wizard here.
Administrator Filch quickly ran over in search of Draco's shout. After discovering that so many young wizards were crowding the corridor, his first reaction was to yell: "What happened here?! Everyone gathered. What are you doing here?!"
He struggled to squeeze through the crowd with his shoulders, and was about to continue scolding a few more times, but he saw the stiff Mrs. Loris first. He stumbled back a few steps, and grabbed his face with his hands in horror: "My cat! My cat! What happened to Mrs. Norris?!"
The sharp screams brought the little wizards back to their senses, and everyone looked at the three people who first appeared here.
Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger.
Administrator Filch also noticed these glances, and he asked sharply: "You! You! You killed my cat! You killed it! I'm going to kill you! I want, I want—"
As he spoke, he rushed towards Harry, but was blocked by a figure.
Principal Dumbledore appeared in front of Harry in the blink of an eye and blocked the irrational Administrator Filch for him. "Calm down, Argus."
He used magic to free Mrs. Norris from the torch holder, and glanced at the young wizards: "Follow me, and then, Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, Miss Granger, and the others will follow. Prefect, go back to the lounge first!"
Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape also appeared together. They frowned at the crowded little wizards, signaled the prefects to hurry up, and followed Dumbledore.
Behind many principals.
"My office is closest to here," Professor Lockhart squeezed out from the crowd and said politely to Principal Dumbledore. "It's upstairs, Principal, you can-"
"Thank you, Gilderoy." Dumbledore did not refuse.
The little wizards silently moved to both sides to make way for them to pass. After a while, they left the corridor under the urging of the prefects.
…
Returning to the common room, the Slytherins all stayed here in unison.
They each found a place to stand or sit, and their eyes all turned to the fireplace.
On the sofa next to the fireplace, the Slytherin prefects, the Quidditch captain, Anna, Noah, and Eve were all sitting here.
Draco, who came in late, looked at the quiet lounge, then at the fireplace, and sat directly next to Eve: "Wow, are you going to discuss the secret room?"
The others glanced at him, but didn't say anything about his actions.
Anna, as the president of the student union and the most powerful person at the top of the food chain present, cleared her voice: "Okay, no more unnecessary nonsense. Does anyone know the news?"
Although she said this, her eyes fell on Noah.
Noah lowered his eyes and did not speak. He just put his fingers into his sleeves and touched Keya, which was wrapped around his wrist.
"Has anyone opened the Chamber of Secrets?" Draco asked loudly, taking the lead, "The Heir of Slytherin!"
Everyone looked at the people around them, and finally, after a pause, they all focused on Noah.
Noah noticed these glances: "?"
What are you watching him do? Where does he act like an heir? Do you have to watch Draco if you want to? ! Is this guy the one who has always claimed to be "Slytherin"? !
But obviously compared to the Malfoy family, which is just a long-established aristocracy, Noah, who is suspected of being a monster and having a good voice, and who is very familiar with the secret passages of the castle, is more like the person who "first discovered and opened the secret room" to a certain extent.
Noah: "..."
He rubbed his forehead and said, "It's not me."
Suddenly Keya's head popped out of his sleeves.
The bulge on its forehead is already quite obvious, as are the two bulges on its back. Something sharp like a thorn has been faintly exposed. The ruby-like snake pupils reflected a faint red light under the firelight. Looks quite dangerous.
There was a small intake of breath from the crowd in the distance. Although Noah Lannister's pet was more or less heard to be a snake, Keya rarely appeared directly in front of the crowd, so some people didn't. How could I have seen him before, especially a little wizard in the first or second grade? Not to mention that because of the bumps on Keya's back and the scarlet eyes, he didn't look like a simple "pet" at all.
