While practicing with the jade pieces, Sean also got some real leaves. However, after practicing with real leaves, he finally understood why Dumbledore suggested that he use jade pieces first - Sean swallowed two leaves while eating, and got stuck five times while sleeping...

And just the astringent taste of those leaves already made him a little uncomfortable. The taste of mandrake leaves was a hundred times worse - it also smelled of dragon dung... It was unimaginable...

Seeing that he no longer made a sound and had a troubled look on his face, Hermione turned a page of the book and said casually: "Animagus is more difficult than you imagined, why don't you wait two years before trying again? "

The girl has always wanted to persuade Sean to give up practicing Animagus. In her opinion, although Sean is very good, he is only in the second grade after all - this kind of dangerous magic should be tried in the sixth or seventh grade. , not to mention, Sean still went for the illegal Animagus.

Sean smiled and did not answer. He knew Hermione was worried about him, but he would not give up practicing Animagus. Before the prophecy comes true and his bloodline awakens, he will not give up any way to improve himself.

When the two of them came out of the Room of Requirement, they happened to bump into Hagrid walking from the other end of the corridor.

"Sean, Hermione, good evening," Hagrid, who was covered in chicken feathers, greeted, "What are you doing here?"

"Oh, lost. You know the stairs in the castle." Hermione blinked.

"It makes sense," Hagrid nodded and looked at Sean, "Sean, thank you very much for what happened that day."

Sean shook his head and said there was no need to be so polite: "I can't help much. Is Yaya okay?"

"It's okay. Your white essence works great."

The three of them walked to the lower level of the castle together. During the conversation, Sean learned that Hagrid had almost no memory of what happened that day. He went to spray medicine in the Forbidden Forest to drive away the fire caterpillars. After a moment of dizziness, he didn't know anything else.

Hagrid came to the castle to find Dumbledore, but Dumbledore didn't seem to be in the school, so Hagrid missed it.

When they reached the third floor, they had just stepped down the stairs when the sound of conversation came from the front.

"It's been a troubled time, Nick, you should understand." A voice came, and Sean recognized it as the voice of the ghost fat monk of Hufflepuff.

"All bad things have come together, haven't they? None of the Melancholy Sisters could come, and the Weeping Widow said she couldn't come - and then I was just rejected by the Headless Hunters. It's really, really bad... "The voice that answered was filled with regret.

Eavesdropping is obviously not a good behavior. Sean and others deliberately amplified the sound of their footsteps. From the other end of the corridor, two milky-white figures looked over.

It's the Fat Monk and Nearly Headless Nick.

"Good evening, you two." Hagrid, who was obviously very familiar with these two Hogwarts ghosts, greeted them loudly.

"Oh, Hagrid, it's so nice to see you." Nearly Headless Nick looked worried.

Sean and Hermione also said hello, and Hagrid was already chatting with each other.

"You look worried, Nick?"

"It's a small matter, it's a small matter," Nearly Headless Nick waved his hand gracefully, his tone nonchalant, but his whole body was dejected, "It's just the one hundred and thirty-eighth time my application for joining the Headless Hunters team was rejected... … I didn’t really want to participate.”

The Headless Hunters are a very popular group of ghosts. They only accept hunters whose heads and bodies are completely separated. Obviously, the almost headless Nick does not meet the requirements - you can tell from the nickname.

On the side, the fat monk said cheerfully: "Nick, maybe you can consider forming a team of head hunters?"

"Don't be stupid," Nick said irritably, shaking a large stack of transparent letters in his other hand, "then you won't be able to do head-hockey and horse-back tricks comfortably - this is the Headless Hunters Important reason for popularity!”

He complained for a while, and finally looked at Hagrid expectantly.

"Oh...Hagrid, I have a question...Aren't you a little tired of always attending the school's Halloween dinner?"

"Don't hint at me, Nick," Hagrid exposed the other party directly, "But I'm sorry, I have something to do on Halloween."

Nick, who was almost headless, laughed dryly: "Yes, yes, you have to be responsible for the preparation work in the school."

"What's the matter?" The girl asked curiously before Sean could stop Hermione.

"Good question! Hermione!" Nick's eyes lit up, "I'm going to report to a party on Halloween. It's my 500th anniversary. Can I invite you to attend? Of course, Sean, too. Also welcome, all your friends can come!”

"Oh, that sounds interesting." Hermione looked very interested.

Sean sighed secretly, a death anniversary party is not a good place to go. Wouldn't it be better to go to a warm and lively Halloween party?

Nick and Hermione exchanged a few words and happily agreed to attend the death anniversary party.

When they separated, Hagrid said: "Oh, I can't speak in front of Nick, but, Hermione, I must warn you - a death anniversary party is not a good place to go. I have been to one before and it was terrible. ”

"Is it that bad? I just think the ghosts' party must be very interesting. Not many living people have attended it. It should be amazing..." Seeing Hagrid's expression, Hermione said a little uneasily.

"Wonderful, but also terrible," Hagrid concluded.

"Oh, I wonder if I was a little hasty in agreeing." Hermione muttered as she passed a giant pumpkin on Halloween.

"I wanted to stop you." Sean shrugged beside her.

They were walking through the decorated auditorium to the underground classroom.

In the crowded auditorium, students were chatting happily next to the Halloween decorations. It was said that Dumbledore had booked a skeleton dance troupe to entertain them.

"Seriously, I'm the one who agreed, Sean. You can stay here for the banquet." Hermione said.

"It's okay, I'm also curious. We can go over and say hello or something, so when we come back, at least there will be desserts in the auditorium." Sean said with a smile.

"That's so kind of you, Sean."

They walked through the auditorium and headed towards the party venue. Candles were also lit in the passage leading to the underground, but those candles were all dark and glowed with blue light when burning, casting an eerie look on everyone passing by.
