"Allen? Harris! "When Allen, Luna, and Hermione passed through the oak door on the first floor and entered the foyer, Colin Creed screamed and screamed. The camera in his hand was shaking in front of his chest. "He's back, he's back, Allen's back …"
On the right side of the foyer, there was a double door leading to the auditorium. When the people eating in the auditorium heard Colin's voice, they hurriedly left their tables. More and more wizards gathered around, their faces full of excitement and pride. This was their professor, their classmate, and the savior who could drive the Unknowns away.
"Bang … Bzzt …" A huge firework explosion sounded. Everyone looked up at the top of the foyer, where the fireworks exploded into a row of characters. "Welcome back."
The Weasley twins passed through the row of characters, one on the left and one on the right, and hovered in the air in front of Allen. At the same time, they bowed to Allen. When they straightened their bodies and waved their wands, "Bang bang" and "Bzzt bzzt" sounds rang out continuously. The whole foyer was silent for a moment, but then it was followed by more intense cheers. Various colorful fireworks exploded in the air, forming various vivid and magical creatures, jumping around in the foyer. The wizards applauded and cheered excitedly, and the teacher and the ghost were also in the crowd.
But soon, some of the Slytherin could not laugh anymore. They were the members of Umrich's investigation team. George and Fred flew around on flying brooms, and their whooshing fireworks turned into monsters such as fire dragons and pythons that chased after the members of the investigation team. Because of this, the members of the investigation team were particularly embarrassed. Although they were deliberately avoided by the twins, even Emily had to use her wand to prevent herself from being hit like Pency Parkinson, who was next to her. His bob hairstyle exploded into a poodle's head, just like Parkinson's.
Soon, the welcoming ceremony turned into a farce. The little lions of Gryffindor cheered as they took out the fireworks, fake wands, and other Weasley tricks that they had prepared in advance, and joined in the special carnival.
The members of the Harris Training Class were affected by the atmosphere and used their wands to spew out all kinds of flowers, birds, bubbles, and stars. One of them even used his Guardian Angel.
The short Naughty Ghost was wearing brightly colored clothes, a tie, and a hat. His slippers had a long slit, revealing his toes. He was squealing excitedly out of habit. His wide face, big mouth, and round eyes were glaring. The behavior of the twins was especially to his liking. It was as if he wanted to cooperate with the twins. He was looking for Argus, the manager of the Hogwarts who had escaped the net. Filch scuttled around the top of his head, and at the same time, he took out some large dung eggs that he had collected from the students for a long time, and began to throw them at everyone. Seeing that the wizards were hit by the dung eggs because they couldn't dodge in time, Naughty Ghost spun and rose up. He quickly took off the bell-shaped hat on his head, waved it around, and whistled happily.
On the other hand, when the twins saw Naughty Ghost's behavior, they stopped chasing after the pitiful members of the Special Operations Team who were covered in dark green and yellow viscous liquid.
They rode on their brooms and deliberately spun in front of Allen. They stopped in front of the wall that was filled with all kinds of school rules issued by Umrich. They looked at each other, and slammed some of the ball-shaped objects against the wall, and shouted loudly, "Allen has arrested Umrich! Let these things go to hell! "
The wall shook, and the school rules that were mounted in glass frames fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.
The onlooking students clapped their hands and cheered loudly. These things should be destroyed.
Dumbledore had just returned to the academy a few days ago, and he was busy negotiating with the Order of the Phoenix and other forces, so he didn't have time to ask Filch to take down these rules. Obviously, the twins wanted to wait for Allen to come back, and take the opportunity to publicize the prank they had developed in the past year. They deliberately chose this time to carry out their last great deed before graduation. They wanted to be part of the legend of the Hogwarts. After all, they obeyed Allen's request and endured until the end of the advanced wizard exam. Now that Umrich was no longer around, they wouldn't be punished too severely.
Ravenclaw's headmaster, Filius? He was the first professor who heard the commotion and rushed over. At first, he barely pushed the students aside and quickly approached the twins. But after seeing this scene, he turned around and pretended that he didn't see anything. He began to approach the students who were thrown at with a big pile of dung to help them clean themselves up.
"If you want to buy the whooshing fireworks we demonstrated, please come to 93 Diagon Alley — Weasley's Magic Torch Theater," Fred said loudly on his broom.
Amidst the thunderous cheers of the students, Allen and the girls, who had retreated to the stairs, took the opportunity to leave. Otherwise, they would be delayed for a long time in such an exciting situation.
Hermione separated from them on the sixth floor. She planned to go back to the dormitory in Gryffindor's tower on the eighth floor to tidy up the books for the remaining days of the course. Allen, on the other hand, accompanied Luna to put her luggage back in the Ravenclaw common room on the west side of the Hogwarts Castle. Although it was on the eighth floor like Gryffindor's tower, the stairs leading to the common room in Ravenclaw were located on the sixth floor of the castle.
After throwing her luggage on the bed, Luna came out of the girls' dormitory and returned to the common room. She looked around, closed her eyes, and then said to Allen, "I'm going to see Helena."
Allen grabbed Luna, who was about to turn and leave, and said seriously, "I'll go with you to see our daughter."
"She's strolling around the basement." Luna nodded and opened the door to the common room.
Allen followed behind Luna. The sky outside was different from before. The changeable weather made the light dim, and raindrops the size of bullets pitter-pattered against the castle's windows. In the empty corridor, only the footsteps of Luna and Allen could be heard.
Luna led Allen back to the first floor and went straight through a door. Unlike the ink-black weather outside, the auditorium was still noisy and brightly lit. The Fire Lizard flew into the air with a whoosh and spun madly, releasing sparks and loud noises. The Fire Lizard spat out orange-red stars from its mouth. It was very beautiful and spectacular. With a series of explosions, it scuttled into the crowd.
Allen and the others walked in the direction of the dungeon below the Hogwarts School. The passageway was lit with candles, but the effect was not pleasant at all. They were all dark, and the thin candles flashed blue when they burned. The light shone on their faces, making them look gloomy. With every step they took, the temperature dropped. It was colder than the main floor of the castle.
Suddenly, all the candles were extinguished by a strange gust of wind in the originally windless environment. Allen strode forward, habitually shielding Luna behind him, and used his left hand to pull up his black cloak to protect her.
In his right hand, he pulled out the ordinary wand that he had prepared for the ancient magic class and waved it out at an astonishing speed. A light sword made of red magic appeared between the wand, illuminating the already dark environment with a red hue.
The wand buzzed because of Allen's movements. As Allen reflected projectiles, the air gradually emitted a pungent stench.
Helga? The book that Hufflepuff gave to Allen? Allen had read all of Gryffindor's personal notes. Although this move that Gryffindor had used in a duel with Allen was no longer of much help to him in battle, its illumination function and burning reflection ability were still very useful in this situation. Although it was no longer necessary for him and Luna, because they had already obtained night vision through their study of shadows.
Allen took out the beak mask from his H94 uniform. There was only one mask. Allen handed the mask to Luna, but Luna turned around immediately. "Just in time. Aren't you thinking about talking to Helena first? She's floating not far ahead. I'll go to the kitchen to get some pudding to eat..." With that, Luna stepped into the shadow illuminated by the light sword and left.
Allen shook his head helplessly. After all, this was completely different from the situation where he wanted to escape when he met his father-in-law. However, he decided that during the holidays, he must go to the Brain Hall and learn this ability that could ignore the Brain Seal spell...
Putting the mask on his face, Allen isolated himself from the pungent stench in the air. However, he didn't know if it was because he hadn't used it for a long time, but the filter layer of the magic herbs in the front of the beak was obviously blocked. This made Allen's breathing sound a little too heavy and loud when he breathed from the beak mask.
Naughty Ghost jumped down from a chandelier and laughed sinisterly. Naughty Ghost was now extremely daring. He was motivated by the actions of the twins, and he wanted to challenge the person he feared the most besides Blood Man Barrow. The painful lesson Allen taught him was deeply engraved in his heart. He believed that Allen was the wizard he feared the most in Hogwarts. At the same time, Allen was loved and respected by the little wizards in the school. Naughty Ghost felt that if he could prank Allen successfully, it would have a huge impact. He could also overcome the fear in his heart and kill many birds with one stone. Therefore, he purposely chose Allen as the target of his prank.
He threw the dung eggs in his hand one by one at Allen. Allen waved his wand like a knight's sword, colliding with the eggs thrown by Naughty Ghost. There was no sound, and the eggs were slapped back. They were melted in mid-air by Allen's flashing red and scorching light sword. The smelly liquid splattered everywhere.
"Huff … Huff … Naughty Ghost, you picked the wrong opponent … Huff." Because of the mask, Allen's voice was lower than usual. He suddenly reached out his hand and used the Mage's Hand ability he learned from the Netherese Scroll to grab Naughty Ghost's neck. Naughty Ghost tilted his head back and tried to grab his neck with both hands in vain, trying to break free from the invisible force.
Even though Naughty Ghost did not need to breathe, as a ghost who could touch objects with a physical body, he was different from other ghosts. When he had the sense of touch, he could feel pain because of it.
"I … Uh … I won't do it again. Ahem." Allen loosened his hand and threw Naughty Ghost to the wall. He struggled to get up and bowed to Allen. "Professor Harris, I won't do it again."
In the blink of an eye, Naughty Ghost rose into the air and slipped through the wall. He intended to take revenge on the students of Ravenclaw.
At the other end of the basement, there was a long table covered with black velvet.
Allen slowly walked forward. Every step seemed to weigh a thousand catties. Only the rhythmic breathing from the mask broke the silence here.
As he approached, Allen recalled that he had never looked at Ms. Grimm and Helena, his daughter, so seriously.
At this time, Helena was wearing a medieval palace dress. She was pale and transparent. She sat on top of the long black velvet table, becoming the only light in the dark room. She lowered her head. Her long curly hair fell on her cheeks and covered half of her face. Allen could not see her expression.
Allen's heavy breathing awakened Helena who was in deep thought. She looked up at Allen expressionlessly.
"Uh … It's nice to meet you, Helena." Allen said. His eyes were fixed on Helena's cold face. Allen wanted to acknowledge his identity, but he did not know how to say it to this girl who had been around for a long time.
Alan pondered for a moment, and a chair flew over. He sat opposite Helena and took off his mask, revealing his equally pale face. Then, he put his hands between his legs. Then, he realized that even though he was taller than his peers, he was still not as tall as Helena, who had inherited the tall figure of Loina. After all, she was already an adult when she passed away.
Allen rubbed his hands on his knees and moved his legs uneasily. As if he had made up his mind, he patted his thigh. "Helena, you have a lot of experience now. You must know how complicated the world is and how profound magic is … Oh, right, Luna should have told you that I couldn't be by your side, but I had no choice …"
Allen was a little incoherent. He wanted to tell Helena, admit his identity to her, and tell her that he regretted not being by her side as she grew up …
"Uh, I want to say …" The anxious Allen stood up and looked at Helena who was staring at him expressionlessly. He organized his words and thought about how to tell Helena. As a father who had never done his duty, Allen's heart was full of guilt.
Helena sat quietly on the black velvet cloth, her eyes fixed on Allen, as if she was not touched by Allen's behavior at this time. This made her look cold and arrogant as if she was facing a little wizard other than Ravenclaw. She suddenly interrupted Allen and reached out her incorporeal hand to hold Allen's hand. "I know what you want to say. I do know about you and mother, and I'm very happy. I'm your father."
"Yes, you're my father … Hmm?" Allen followed Helena's words and then reacted. The hand that was extended to shake his daughter's hand froze.
"Sorry, I've said too much." Helena's face was expressionless, but the change of color on her translucent face made Allen understand that she was probably embarrassed by her mistake. As she spoke, Ravenclaw's ghost of the academy got up and tried to let herself lean her head on her father's chest for the first time. But because of her size, she found that there was a small problem with their height. After a long time of being a ghost, she was used to using the ghost way and forgot to bend her knees like a living person.
“I
father。” Alan's deep voice sounded a bit muffled. He caressed his daughter Helena in his arms with his left hand and ran his fingers through her translucent hair. Although he did not witness her growth, birth, and death with his own eyes, for the first time, Alan had the feeling of being a father. He truly realized that the female ghost in front of him was his daughter. A sense of guilt arose from the depths of his heart for letting her down.
