Chapter 157: “The Death-Day Party”

As the cold air by the continuous rain began to blow the castle. Every step they took made them tighten their clothes even more. Fortunately, Sean informed Hermione to wear thicker clothes before they came.

Turning on a corner, Sean heard a sound, like a shovel scratching back and forth.

“Oh, I’m really starting to regret it now.” Hermione muttered.

Walking a few steps forward, Nick was dressed in black velvet clothing, welcoming the guests at the door.

“My friends,” he said, “Welcome. It is a great honor to have you here.”

He took off his hat and bowed at them. Sean and Hermione’s breaths formed clouds of white mist in front of them. They walked into the room that looked like a cold storage room and looked around curiously.

It was different from what Sean expected. In the room, there were only several ghosts floating around. Most of them were ghosts in Hogwarts Castle, and many of them had chatted with Sean.

On the stage, several ghosts in suits were playing a musical instrument, and some of them were dancing to the music.

“I thought there would be a lot of ghosts.” Hermione whispered.

“That’s because when Nick sent out the invitation, many ghosts politely declined him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so eager to invite the living people.” Someone on the side answered.

Sean turned his head. It was a chubby ghost, his eyes were dull, and he sounded muffled when he spoke.

“Hello, Edmund.” Sean greeted.

Edmund Grubb is a ghost who died in the Victorian period from eating poisonous berries. He died at the doorway of the Hogwarts Great Hall, so he often told students to stop eating while walking out of the hall.

However, the ghost couldn’t do anything. After getting used to Edmund’s scolding, most of the students didn’t care about it anymore and even deliberately ate food in front of Edmund.

He had already learned from Hermione that the Moaning Myrtle had been hiding in the abandoned girls’ bathroom. Combined with the information that Hagrid was still expelled, it meant that Tom Riddle probably killed Myrtle and framed Hagrid.

However, Sean is unsure whether he is alive or dead, and the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets has never been activated.

When Sean charms the magical animals, he often needs to make eye contact with each other. But Basilisk can petrify the person who saw them.

Sean tapped his feet, feeling the temperature getting lower and lower around him.

“Should we go?” He whispered.

“I think you’re right.” Hermione nodded quickly, covering her mouth and nose.

Taking advantage of Nick’s talking to a ghost, they walked quickly to the door and turned away.

“Let’s go faster. We should be just in time for the last dessert.” Sean led the way through the corridor and walked towards the steps.

Hermione retched, “I’m afraid I can’t eat anymore. Why do I have to see that cake...”

“You’re just too curious.” Sean said casually.

His steps stopped, and Hermione bumped into his back.

“What’s the matter, Sean? Isn’t this Mrs. Norris?”

In front of them, a cat was meowing at Sean.

“What’s wrong?” Sean squatted down.

Although Filch was not forgiving, Mrs. Norris had let Sean off once during the night out in the first year.This chapter's initial release occurred on the n0vell--Bjjn site.
