The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 32 Halloween

Halloween of the new year is here again. The auditorium is brightly lit and countless pumpkin lanterns make the entire auditorium particularly charming.

Dumbledore specially invited the renowned Skeleton Dance Troupe to participate in the Halloween celebrations.

【Perhaps Carter and Johnny can join them.】

Weiss looked at the dance troupe composed entirely of skeletons and couldn't help but think of it.

It must be said that each member of the Skeleton Dance Troupe possesses a very high level of artistic skill. Each of their movements is full of power and beauty, and their wonderful performance quickly pushes the atmosphere to a climax.

The students were attracted by their charm and could not help but dance along with their movements, with laughter filling the auditorium.

The professors were not idle either. They all temporarily put aside their usual seriousness and enjoyed this rare moment of relaxation.

A skeleton walked gracefully to the teacher's seat, its body leaning forward slightly in an inviting gesture.

Snape, who was sitting in his seat, stared at the skeleton coldly. The skeleton was frightened by Snape's cold eyes and shuddered involuntarily, then tactfully changed its target.

After inviting everyone around, only Dumbledore and Lockhart readily accepted the invitation. Lockhart, in particular, was filled with excitement, even eager to be invited.

When the music started, Lockhart's body began to dance lightly.

I have to say, Lockhart's dancing is really good, his movements are smooth and natural, full of rhythm. His turns and jumps are just right, and he is actually on par with a professional dance troupe.

“If only his teaching was as good as his dancing.”

Professor McGonagall watched Lockhart's dance and couldn't help but complain.

Snape glanced at Lockhart with disdain and snorted.

Hearing Professor McGonagall's sigh, the other professors expressed their agreement.

At Hogwarts, Lockhart's teaching was a disaster. Except for his female fans, almost no one was satisfied with his teaching.

The students were extremely disappointed with the professor and they longed for a truly capable teacher to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Professor McGonagall sighed and changed the subject: "Wes, George, and Fred have changed so much. They didn't lose many points this year. How did you do it?"

The other professors also cast curious glances.

The twin brothers are notorious troublemakers and are a big score deduction cause. Everyone is curious about how Wes makes the twin brothers behave.

"I didn't do anything."

Weiss spread his hands, and seeing that the professors didn't believe him, he continued:
"I just taught them alchemy, but they were so engrossed in it that they didn't have time to mess around."

"So that's how it is. I didn't expect they would be interested in alchemy."

The professors then suddenly realized.

At this time, the last dance was over and the Skeleton Dance Troupe officially said goodbye. The students were very reluctant to leave.

As the top star in the magic world, the Skeleton Dance Troupe has a very full schedule and they still have to rush to the next announcement.

Seeing that the students were still unsatisfied, Lockhart jumped out.

But without the accompaniment of music, his dance looked a little funny.

But his fans immediately cast a spell and the music started up again.

Lockhart danced harder.

"This guy was born to live in the spotlight." Weiss watched Lockhart's performance and couldn't help but complain, "There's a profession in the Muggle world called celebrity, and I think it suits him very well."

The professors laughed at Weiss's words, their laughter echoing in the air.

Weiss didn't know what was so funny about what he said.

The Halloween dinner ended happily, the students returned to their dormitories, and the professors also left.

Weiss was pestered by the twins and asked some questions, so he accidentally ran into Harry and his group on the way back to the dormitory.

"I told you we shouldn't have accepted Nearly Headless Nick's invitation. I'm so hungry I'm dizzy. If there was a pumpkin pie right now, I could finish it all by myself."

Ron rubbed his empty stomach and complained, "Don't even mention pumpkin pie. I feel like vomiting when I think of any food now."

Hermione's stomach began to churn as she thought of the food at the Deathday party.

Harry Potter looked apologetic and was about to apologize.

"Did you attend the Deathday party?" Weiss couldn't help but ask after hearing their conversation.

Only then did Harry and the other two see Weiss.

"Professor Erwin?" The three were startled.

Hermione, in particular, was worried that Weiss would deduct points from them, after all, it was already past bedtime.

"Please don't deduct points from us," Hermione begged.

Ron and Harry also reacted and began to plead.

Especially Harry, who was still replying to readers' letters on behalf of Lockhart. The thought that the deadline might be extended gave him goosebumps.

"Okay, I won't take any points off you, but did you really attend the Deathday party?"

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that no points would be deducted.

"Yes, Professor Erwin, we attended Nick's Deathday party."

Hermione replied cautiously.

"You're worthy of being a Gryffindor, after all." Weiss's lips curled up into a smile. "What were you thinking? A living person attending a ghost's party!"

The three of them lowered their heads, and they were also very regretful.

"Meow~~" A cat's meow startled the three of them.

"Mrs. Loris!!"

Seeing the cat, Hermione was horrified. She was not afraid of the cat, but of its owner, Filch.

Filch was the Hogwarts caretaker, and his passion was to antagonize the students. He always had a stern expression and would punish students for their misdeeds in various ways. It was said that he even had a collection of torture instruments, which he used to torture students. The students privately called him "Perverted Filch."

This cat named Mrs. Filch Norris is his assistant and has helped him catch many students who wander around at night.

Sure enough, the next second Filch's voice came: "Well done, Mrs. Norris! Let me see which disobedient student has been caught. I'm going to hang him up and whip him severely."

After seeing Harry, Filch's eyes lit up and he was very excited: "So it's the famous savior..."

"Okay, Mr. Filch, don't scare my students." Weiss protected the three of them behind him.

Filch then noticed that Weiss was also here, and quickly greeted him, "Professor Irving, why are you here too?"

"Mr. Filch, the school has abolished flogging a long time ago."

"What a pity! These disobedient little wizards should be punished more severely."

There was jealousy in Filch's eyes, but more of it was envy.

"The three of them missed the deadline because they were helping me mark their homework. I was on my way back to the dormitory when Mrs. Norris spotted me."

Wes touched Mrs. Norris's chin, and Mrs. Norris rubbed Wes affectionately.

Filch didn't believe what Weiss said. Years of experience told him that Harry and the other two had returned from outside.

But with Wes's cover, he planned to let all three of them go.

"So that's how it is. You three are really lucky."

Filch stared at the three men as if they were prey.

"But you won't always be so lucky."

After saying that, he left with Mrs. Loris.
