After the end of October, the weather in November is as cold as iron. Every morning is a layer of frost. The cold wind cuts hands and cheeks, making people unable to lift the slightest spirit.
The sky and the ceiling of the auditorium turned light blue and gray, the mountains around Hogwarts were snowcapped, the temperature in the castle dropped sharply, and many students wore thick leather gloves when they took a break in the corridor.
Every time Hoffa walked through the castle, he could see the yellow and white world outside. A piece of dry leaves in the sky flying dance, frost lake, someone in a hurry to walk.
He didn't know where agraia and Miranda were now, what the group of students who followed professor drasse to the mountains of Scotland were doing.
At that time, Professor drasse said that his course was only playing, but now looking at the cold gray sky, it must not be an easy thing to "play".
On the day before Halloween, flames crackled in the fireplace of Ravenclaw's public rest room.
Hoffa sat by the fire in the common room, writing his thesis on deformation class. This is very simple for him, not because he did well in deformation class, but because professor Bohan rarely arranged any esoteric content. His course is the most obvious one among all the teachers this year.
His roommates, William Carlson and Antonio sifes, have long forgotten about their homework. Now they are making up for each other by the fire. As it's Halloween, the students' Union traditionally has a make-up party.
In the past years, masquerade parties are not for Hogwarts students to play. After all, they are witches, vampires, werewolves, mummies and other things that Muggles seem to be magical are not magical to them at all.
But this year's pressure on students is too great. They need a way to vent their heavy work and the pressure of the world war.
So there was a scene of two boys making up for each other.
William was a boy with black curly hair, a few freckles on his face and a sharp chin. At the moment, half of his face is painted white, and his mouth is still wearing sharp canine teeth. He plans to make up as a vampire.
Antonio, on the other hand, is a chubby red haired boy who has always been fat. He's all bandaged now, except for his red hair. He's going to make up as a mummy.
As they put on their make-up, William said, "I'm sure those people are freezing out there."
"Who?" Asked Antonio.
"What? Ah, those dragon training masters are playing outside in such cold weather. Is it really so fun outside? "
"They have dragons. Maybe they can spray fire to keep them warm." Said Antonio.
"I want you to remind me!" William fiercely slapped the table, "you think I haven't seen a dragon?"
"No... no..."
Antonio quickly took out his wand, pointed to his face and coated it with white powder. He said calmly, "I didn't mean that."
"Well," William said, holding his arm, "what do you mean?"
"I was thinking, is Professor drassez really carrying dozens of dragons, dozens?"
"How do I know? I didn't cross the lake."
William said angrily, "why don't you ask Hoffa, he's the only one to cross the lake and come back."
Antonio looked timidly at Hoffa, who was engrossed in his thesis at the edge of the window, and did not dare to disturb him.
Hoffa raised his eyes and looked at the two roommates. He heard what they said, but he didn't want to answer because he had been asked too many times during this period.
Especially for boys, even though he made a clear answer a hundred times, Professor drassez took the dragon with him and gave the baby to the students to take care of him, these students still didn't believe the answer and asked it over and over again. It seemed that they had to hear a different answer to be happy.
After finishing his homework, he took out his own deformation book, anatomy of all things, structure is king, and began to read it word by word.
But when he was reading a book, William was always nagging: "if there is a dragon, maybe, you see that Professor drasse, who is as thin as a stick, can't take dozens of fire dragons, maybe just a few Sahara salamanders."
"That's right." Antonio echoed, "it's really impossible."
William: "I can see a lot of braggers. Now many experts are teaching anything, so I can't believe it."
Antonio: "I really can't believe it. My mother believed the words of an expert and bought some medicine, but it turned out to be fake."
"Ah, this kind of person, Muggle wizard have, not rare. If I don't come back from the cold, I must be hiding somewhere. "
Anthony Aurelius thought: "well, maybe those big families don't want to have the same tiring potion class in school as us, so..."
William was very excited: "how can you be so smart?"
Antonio: ah, reallyTwo people like this, you a word, I a word to talk in the warm fireside.
To be honest, Hoffa thought it was a bit noisy. But he couldn't say anything. If there was no war, he thought he would be happy to go to the masquerade party with them.
But now the pressure of external war is as great as Mount Tai, and all kinds of problems emerge one after another.
What's more, in the past, he was a little transparent who stayed in the corner and nobody paid attention to him, but this year, other people paid more attention to him. There are not only teachers in the school, but also students in the fourth college. Under such pressure, he didn't dare to relax at all.
He had no way to stop others from speaking, so he had to cover his ears and read without leaving any trace. Reading, suddenly, just the door of the lounge was suddenly pushed open.
Hoffa's third roommate, Tyler Smith, stood panting at the door.
Taylor: that... That group of people, that group of people are back
"What are you doing? What group of people? " Asked William.
"The group you say is the group of people in the magical biology class."
With this remark, all the people in the common room raised their heads, reading books, doing homework, baking, playing chess and making up. They all stare at Tyler at the door and ask.
"Is there a dragon?"
"Is there really a dragon?"
Taylor: I've heard people at hutchpatch say it's true
"Damn it
Antonio got up first and said, "let's go and have a look."
Led by him, students crowded out of the common room. Even in the wizarding world, dragons are not common creatures, let alone a dozen.
William moved his legs. He just wanted to stand up, but he disdained to curl his mouth and said, "I'm not going. What's good to see?"
But his voice has been drowned by the wave of the crowd.
...
...
Hoffa didn't squeeze together with others. He stood up slowly after waiting for others to leave. At this time, there were only two people left in the rest room, one was himself, and the other was William, who was sitting by the fire with a gloomy face.
William was dressed in Earl's black leather of the middle world, arms in his arms, a snow-white vampire makeup, and his face was full of hatred.
Aware of Hoffa's eyes, he asked again, "won't you go, Hoffa?"
Hoffa shook his head. "No, I'm going."
He's not only going because of aglia and Miranda, he hasn't seen each other for a long time. What's more, Professor Bohan's test also includes maintaining order.
William's face darkened as Hoffa nodded.
"Well, I'll go with you."
One after the other, they walked out of the common room, down the magic ladder, and came to the hunting ground in front of the hall.
At the moment, it's freezing cold and the ground is freezing. My feet are on the frozen grass, making a creaking sound. A group of strangely dressed students gathered in the school corridor, on the stone steps, craned their necks and looked at a row of figures in the distance. Some even took out Muggle telescopes.
Soon, the row of tiny figures came from the frost grass. One by one, they were in a very orderly line.
And walking in front of the team, it is the cousin Shylock of agraia. At the moment, her clothes were not neat and ragged. Her clothes were full of holes that had been burned out, and there were three claw marks on her face.
But now she was very confident, more confident than ever Hoffa had seen her before, and she walked up to the castle with her head high. Beside her, there is a four meter long Hungarian wasp, which is like a big crocodile. Its head is high and covered with sharp thorns. Its wings and hind legs support its streamlined body. Its sharp feet leave one dent after another on the frost grass.
The beast spewed light smoke from its mouth and nose, and its yellow eyes swept across the crowd's face indifferently. It was the eyes of predators, and there was no temperature to speak of.
There are dragons!
The crowd covered their mouths in horror, and someone whispered in alarm. Because the Hungarian wasp had no shackles, and there was not even a chain around its neck. It was completely free range.
The fear of the crowd fed back to the eyes of the wasp. It immediately straightened its back and opened its mouth full of sharp teeth.
Shylock pressed the head of the wasp with the palm of his hand and said faintly, "no way."
The Hungarian wasp took a look at her, turned its head slightly, and stopped gazing at the crowd. Frightened by the wasp, the students around all quieted down. One after another, for this group of students with dragon to make a big gap.
Hoffa in the crowd was secretly surprised. After nearly two months, the wasp was so big. It seems that Shylock really tamed the wasp.
His eyes turned to the rest of the team. Each one of the dragon training team was wearing a dragon and dressed in rags. These creatures are much bigger than when Hoffa saw them for the first time. What's more amazing is that they all stay next to the students.
Hoffa also saw aglia and Miranda in the team, Miranda's white eyes lying on her shoulders, dozing. There was no dragon around him, but Hoffa knew it was just a fake. Because when she turns, there are small waves of water around her body.Her Welsh green dragon is in stealth.
Miranda said hello to Hoffa and mouthed out that I had something to do, and then disappeared into the castle with the team.
After the students and the Dragon disappeared.
The group of students with makeup looked at each other on Halloween, and the air was filled with depression. The makeup on their faces seems to have lost its luster and become gloomy.
They practice potions and herbs day and night in school, and they can only relax by the Halloween masquerade.
Another group played in the mountains of Scotland for a few months, and when they came back, they all domesticated dogs with a dragon. This kind of drop feeling, the fool can realize.
It's clear that everyone is a wizard.
