The Silent Witch of Hogwarts

Chapter 241 Professor Rozier's Halloween

Chapter 241 Professor Rozier's Halloween (Part 1)

In the end, Hilo didn't have much of a chance to buy a new robe, since, strictly speaking, asking about it on Halloween morning was a bit strange in itself.

So she ultimately chose to wear the same old red and black robe, the only difference being that she wore a black bat brooch on her chest.

That should be enough for Halloween, right?

With this thought in mind, Hilo slightly curled the corners of her lips, but the next second it seemed to disappear as if it were just an illusion. She opened the potions book on the table and began to read.

This was her second hobby after watching the ice melt: watching potions when she was bored—of course, she wasn't waiting for any students to come.

Why would any students come? He was well aware that he was neither a responsible professor nor a professor who was good at pleasing people.

So it's normal that no one comes—thinking this, Shiloh glanced at the office door, then coughed and lowered her head again.

It's okay to spend Halloween alone, I'm used to it, aren't I?

"Pat, pat."

There was a knock on the office door. Shiloh paused for a moment, then raised an eyebrow and slowly stood up.

To her surprise, a student actually came—was it the studious Miss Granger? Shiloh racked her brains for a long time and could only think of this name.

It's nice that someone came—even though it disturbed my reading, at least the candy I bought wouldn't go to waste.

As she thought this, a faint smile appeared on her face.

However, the faint smile on her face vanished the moment she opened the door.

"Oh."

What came into view was a girl with long red hair and a few freckles on her face, but no matter how she disguised herself, Shiloh could recognize who she was.

Loila Hamilton — a despicable traitor and a hypocrite — what is she doing here?

She shamelessly pretends to be a student, yet acts timid as if someone bullied her?

Since you like it this way, I'll play along with you. Anyway, in a few days, you won't be able to play this disgusting game anymore.

"Good evening, Miss Lola." Shiloh curled her lips into a cold smile.

"Hmm!"

The girl being stared at suddenly took a few steps back and hid behind the girl next to her.

Hiding behind a student? It's almost laughable—she could easily defeat everyone here with her abilities, yet she's pretending to be weak and helpless.

Do you really enjoy playing these disgusting games?

Even though she had promised to play games with her, Hilo still felt nauseous. No matter how she looked at that timid face, she wanted to smear it with a killing curse.

Good evening, Professor Rozier!

The student who was blocked in front of Loila spoke up. It was Miss Lovegood, who had dark golden hair. She was wearing a white robe that covered her whole body, with two holes cut out where her eyes should be. But even so, Shiloh recognized her at a glance.

"Good evening, Miss Lovegood." Shiloh had no hostility towards Luna; she was just a smart child. The only problem was that she was hanging out with that hypocrite.

"Is this your Halloween costume?" Shiloh asked, then turned her gaze to Loila. "Miss Loila, you won't get any candy like this."

"I—didn't—"

Seeing her flustered state, Hilo snorted and blinked her purple eyes at Miss Lovegood: "Miss Lovegood, your outfit should earn you a lot of candy."

"Oh dear, I forgot to mention that." Luna, seemingly only remembering at that moment, jumped up, the robe covering her fluttering slightly: "Trick or treat!"

Seeing her like this, Hilo smiled gently, then waved his wand lightly, and a few honey tsuna floated out of the room and landed in Luna's hand.

"Are we the first?" Luna asked, clutching the candy. "How did you know?" Shiloh paused, wondering if Miss Lovegood was a prophet like Magus, just like Lord Grindelwald?

"Just guessing, hehe." Luna chuckled and looked at the girl behind her. "Lola, don't you want some candy?"

"Huh? I—I don't really want to—"

You clearly want it, don't you?

Hero saw her staring intently at the candy she had summoned with her wand—

Do you expect to gain genuine reciprocation from others by feigning weakness?

Hilo coldly observed the somewhat timid creature.

"Then I'll give mine to Lola."

The kind Miss Lovegood took the candy from her hand.

"No, Miss Lovegood," Shiloh said when she saw this. "You can't share Halloween candy with other people."

"There's a story in Beauxbatons," she said slowly to the two stunned people. "Once upon a time, a student shared his Halloween candy with his roommates."

"Then the next day everyone discovered—"

"He became a ghost."

"Because he has divided his soul among others."

'

'

The two girls looked at each other.

It's a scary story, isn't it?

So don't even think about getting candy from your friends by showing weakness, okay? It won't work with me.

"It's alright, Lora. My soul should taste delicious." Miss Lovegood placed her candy in Lora's hand.

She knew she wasn't good at telling scary stories—Hilo's eyes were fixed on Loila as she slowly picked up the candy Luna had given her.

"Ah—that—or—maybe I should just forget about it."

Seemingly a little frightened by Shiloh's gaze, Loila trembled and returned the candy to Luna.

"So Lola wants the candy for herself?" Luna tilted her head and said, "I forgot, Lola also wanted to celebrate Halloween."

"Huh? I didn't mean it—" Just as Loila was explaining, Luna pushed her forward, right in front of Shiro.

Hehe—what are you going to do now? Looking at her head bowed and timid appearance, Shiloh inexplicably felt a little—pleasure?

She was somewhat looking forward to the moment when her hypocritical mask would be torn off, and somewhat looking forward to what she would do when she was forced into this situation.

However, it was obvious that she couldn't say a word, and she didn't even dare to raise her head. She only dared to keep her head down, fiddling with her sleeves and raising and lowering her toes.

"Am I being shy here, Lola?" Luna thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll wait for you outside!"

"Don't be afraid, Professor Rozier is a good person."

"No—Lu—Luna?!"

"Um?"

While the two were still stunned, Luna jogged to the pumpkin at the corner of the corridor, stopped, and waved to them.

What does this mean?

Hilo instinctively felt a bit disgusted—she didn't want to be alone with Loila right now; the Veela's stench made her feel nauseous—making her want to draw her wand immediately.

Miss Lola in front of her clearly didn't want to do that either, and the already reserved Lola was now completely frozen in place.

"Aren't you ready yet?" Luna tapped the pumpkin from a short distance away, seemingly having waited a while.

A long silence followed between them before Hilo finally whispered, "Miss Lola—"

"You should cherish this Halloween."

"After all, this should be—"

This is your last Halloween.

"Hmm!"
