Civilization and Harmony Hogwarts

Chapter 197 Halloween Event - Prelude

The clear and bright moon hangs in the sky, and occasionally there are owls screaming and screaming, spreading their wings from the branches where they live.

The clear moonlight is like water and frost, pouring down, casting a layer of chilly light on Hogwarts at night.

Perhaps because the weather has gradually turned cooler recently, the Forbidden Forest is extraordinarily cold tonight.

The dense water vapor slowly spread out in all directions, interspersing, permeating, and wrapping the entire Forbidden Forest.

The mist is like a layer of tulle, obscuring the perilous Forbidden Forest and the cruel and cruel fighting, leaving only half-covered darkness and mystery.

The dewdrops adhering to the blades of grass finally slid down overwhelmed, and fell silently into the damp piled up with thick fallen leaves, unable to make a single ripple.

The long roar of wolves worshiping the moon, the short and strange cry of owl birds, the continuous neighing of insects...

The sharp canines cut through the flesh and drank the scalding blood.

The sharp claws penetrated the sebum, tore the flesh and crushed the bone.

The venom was injected into the texture, and the jumping hare kicked helplessly, the mottled fur reflected a pale color.

Limbs were imprisoned, the wandering long snake was firmly nailed to the withered tree trunk, and the pointed snake tail weakly drew a ferocious arc.

The giant wields a heavy wooden stick to drive away the enemies, the spider webs of the giant spider densely cover the nest, the kicking and rushing of the centaur startles the insects and birds along the road, and the unicorn sips the lake water holyly and cruelly.

The prey falls into the trap, struggles and howls, and will inevitably end up being torn and devoured.

The hunter waited for the opportunity, suppressed, stared, seized the opportunity to cull with all his strength, devoured the flesh and blood life, and turned it into nourishment for survival.

The Forbidden Forest has never been a quiet, peaceful and safe zone. Looting and killings are happening here all the time.

Everyone is a hunter and everyone is a prey.

……

The rustling sound was the sound of some creature walking on the ground where the fallen leaves were piled up.

The dead branch hooked by the corner of the robe was dragged vigorously and broke, making a clear and crisp whine.

Layered clothing materials are driven by the movement to rub against each other, with subtle and orderly rhymes.

This is an open space outside the Forbidden Forest.

A rare open space that meets certain conditions and will not make people feel distressed after being extensively damaged.

Although there are trees and grass around the open space, which belongs to the category of the Forbidden Forest, there are no magical animals inhabiting it, and little wizards can often be seen here at ordinary times.

"Put another one on the branch of that tree." A gentle female voice commanded unhurriedly, and the familiar voice could easily identify the owner of the voice.

"Yes, that's right there, but it needs to be turned a little further to the right, and now the angle is a bit to the left."

"Okay, that's fine, don't move! Now fix it."

Afu stood pretty in the middle of the open space, her long cloak hanging down to the ground, and the lace trim was soaked by the dewdrops on the dead leaves, showing a slightly darker color.

Her whole body was wrapped in a wide cloak, and the thick cloth kept the cold of the night out.

The small face as white as jade was deeply sunken in the hood, the surrounding light was already dim, and the wide hood did not know what to do to cover it up, only the two seemingly flowing crystals embedded in the smooth jade surface could be seen. Emerald green with a touch of eye-catching bright red.

Seeing that Albus had placed the equipment according to his pre-plan, Afu rolled up his sleeves in satisfaction.

"It's ready here, let's go back." Afu yawned lazily, and the breath he exhaled condensed into a small piece of white mist in mid-air, and then dispersed, wet tears wet the corners of his eyes.

Albus put away his wand and walked over from under the dead tree.

"Let's go, let's get up early tomorrow!" Afu urged, with uncontrollable excitement and joy in her tone.

"There will be a good show tomorrow!" Afu swept away Ben's depressed mood because he had to go out for "work" in the middle of the night, and his whole body exuded a sense of fun.

"It's already midnight." Afu looked up at the moon, and saw the moon hanging brightly in the southwest night sky.

"At this point in time... the Gryffindors on the night tour should have already returned to their dormitory."

Afu's timing was just right, almost as soon as she finished speaking, a house elf appeared in front of her.

"Professor, the things you ordered have been put away—the door of every dormitory has not been missed."

Afu waved her hand to indicate that she knew, and the house-elf also bent over and disappeared.

"Thank you." Albus followed Afu and thanked him.

Albus looked at Afu, who was sluggish and unable to arouse interest, and thought that it was to cooperate with his plan that he kept everyone busy, and felt a little sorry.

"It's nothing." Afu's attitude was a little indifferent. "Anyway, there has been no new event for a long time, and the last event has not progressed for so long. It's time to organize a new event to liven up the atmosphere."

The last activity was carried out when Tom entered his first year, but after so long, 'Hogwarts Legacy' has not made any significant progress at all.

When Afu heard Tom and Radolphs mention the Chamber of Secrets last year, she thought that Slytherin was going to organize people to find the Chamber of Secrets!

As a result, they have been busy working on their Valpus for the past year.

Afu thought, this should be because the other three academies have not made much progress.

As long as the other houses made any substantial progress, Slytherin would definitely put the search for the Chamber of Secrets as the top priority.

"When the event starts tomorrow, the eyes of all wizards in the UK will be on Hogwarts. My suggestion is that you'd better stay at Hogwarts and leave things to others."

Even though she knew that Albus was going to risk her life, Afu still wanted to persuade him.

Even if it is clear that that person will not do anything to Albus, it does not mean that his loyal and fanatical fans will not.

The leader who regards him as a god is afraid of the leader of the opponent's camp. For some reason, he is unwilling to take action against him, and even restrains his minions, not disturbing the area he protects at all.

Any subordinate who claims to be loyal will not let such a situation go.

What's more, what about those subordinates with strong self-awareness?

They will only self-righteously believe that as long as their weaknesses and weaknesses are removed and obliterated, they can have no scruples and no disadvantages.

Even though Albus is very powerful, but he punched the old master to death, those people who believe that Albus has disturbed someone's heart, but they are always watching Albus's movements, intending to remove the "scourge" and "replace others". Someone's worried."

"There are new activities and you are here, they will be able to restrain their attention to the greatest extent, and Scamander and the others will be safer in their actions." Afu stopped and looked at Albus steadfastly.

"Moreover, this is not only an opportunity for you to act secretly, but also a good time for those people to do something to you-if you participate in the operation."

Afu fixed her firm eyes on Albus, as if she wanted him to give her a word at this time, to ensure that she would not take risks easily.

Albus reluctantly said no: "I'm the only one to do this, and I'm the only one to do it."

Afu looked at the persistent Albus, seeing that he didn't intend to change his mind, she turned her head helplessly and angrily, snorted coldly, and didn't look at him.

"Go back quickly! It's too late!" Afu pulled her thick cloak vigorously, and strode towards the castle in a fit of anger.

Afu stubbornly didn't look back, as if expressing her dissatisfaction.

Albus looked at Afu's angry back with some amusement, his nerves, which had been tense for many days, relaxed, and he was rarely relaxed.

For so many years, Afu not only has not changed in appearance, but even her experience seems to have not increased.

For the childhood Albus, Afu was a reliable elder and a kind sister.

For the young Albus, Afu is a professor and a teacher.

To young Albus, Afu is a friend.

For Albus now, Afu is like a sister, like a daughter.

Albus looked at Afu who deliberately slowed down to wait for him but still showed her stubborn back, smiled easily, and hurriedly followed.

------

October 1942, 10 is the 30st of the lunar calendar. On this day in the northern hemisphere, the moon is located in the southeast at midnight and in the southwest before dawn.

It also happens to be Friday.

Doing the math, Albus is already 61 at this time, and he is no longer the handsome English rose, but a handsome little old man.
