Chapter 80: Halloween Eve

Chapter 80: Halloween Eve

Near noon, after cleaning up the Quidditch pitch and preparing to return to the castle, Jon broke away from the second-year mudblood students midway through the process saying he had to go to the lavatory. nove(l)bi(n.)com

He used the same method as before with just an addition of using a marauder's map to make sure no one else was around and went to a remote location near the wall, where he hid a piece of paper with a phoenix feather emblem on it in the place where he had originally found the potion materials.

After doing all this, Jon returned to the lavatory and then rejoined the mudbloods, during which no one noticed or cared whether he went to the lavatory to go to the loo or not.

In October, it wasn't just the Quidditch tournament officially began, it also signalled that the Halloween feast was getting closer and closer.

There are only a few days when all the purebloods and half-bloods at Hogwarts get together to celebrate: the opening dinner, the Halloween dinner, the Christmas dinner, and the closing dinner.

For the first holiday dinner after the start of the school year, the students in the castle have a relatively high level of enthusiasm.

This enthusiasm is not just limited to the half-blood and pureblood students, even Jon could feel that the mudblood students around him also seemed to be looking forward to this day of the holiday.

Only this anticipation of theirs was obviously not due to fantasizing about any big feast, or what kind of candy they could get, something they wouldn't dare to think about even in their dream now.

They were looking forward to something else that Jon didn't know about, and the anticipation only spread among the second-year students, and in the other grades, he didn't notice anything unusual.

This was both somewhat within the realm of possibility and somewhat beyond Jon's comprehension.

Before coming to the castle, he had already known from the Malfoy father and son's conversation in Diagon Alley that the mudbloods in Hogwarts Castle were not exactly just going along with the oppression without making any resistance.

He lived here for almost close to two months and learned a lot about some of the things that happened last semester.

Basically, it was the senior mudblood students who privately organized and taught the junior mudbloods the true meaning of the insulting name mudblood, as well as telling them that children from a full muggle family are not inferior to half-bloods and purebloods and that everyone was an equal wizard in the British magical community not long ago, regardless of their origin.

After the afternoon classes ended, the pureblood and half-blood students were completely liberated, and skeletons walked around the great hall which had been decorated with pumpkin lights, flying bats and skulls.

The young wizards all changed into pure black cloaks and put on pointed wizard hats and carried pumpkin lanterns and ran around in the castle, reaching out to the professors to ask for candy when they met them.

On such a festive occasion, even the usually cold-faced Deputy Headmaster Snape would take a handful of candy out of his pocket and give it to the students who had hesitantly stretched their hands to him when they encountered him.

Only all this joy and excitement has nothing to do with the mudblood students.

They were all locked in their underground dormitories after an ordinary dinner under Dolohov's watchful eye.

On such a festive night, the presence of the mudbloods would only spoil the fun for both professors and students alike. The only good thing was that there was no work for them to do this evening, except that they were forced to stay honestly in their dormitories.

The Head boy and Head girl, who were in charge of patrolling and monitoring, returned to their dorm rooms after eight o'clock, no one wanted to be out in the cold in the corridor after such a late hour.

Tonight is actually the second time that Jon has to go to get the potion materials, but he did not do anything rash and stayed inside his dorm, he had a feeling that something different would happen tonight.

Sure enough, at a time when it was about to close to nine o'clock when there should be a lively dinner party in the great hall above, a soft knock sounded at the door of Jon's room.
