Levin said with a gloating tone,
These two fools didn't know that there could be no food for the living at a ghost's feast.
In fact, ghosts, lacking a sense of taste, prefer strongly flavored foods.
Stinky tofu and durian are both child's play.
Their favorite food is still burnt, moldy, or smelly food, because that smell is strong.
"Okay, then help me see if the famous Louis XVI is among that Headless Horseman Hunter team."

Chapter 123 Thriller
Leaving aside the terrible ordeal that Harry and Ron are about to face,
Inside the auditorium, the Halloween Eve banquet soon began. The entire auditorium was decorated with lanterns and candlelight, and golden plates were placed on the tables, which shone with a golden halo under the candlelight, looking very tempting.
Just as the young wizards were salivating, a melodious song suddenly filled the hall, silencing all the noise.
The auditorium fell silent immediately.
Everyone looked around, searching for the source of the singing.
As a cloud of smoke billowed out, a whole row of ornately dressed skeletons emerged from beneath the floor.
They twisted their skeletons exaggeratedly to the music.
Many timid little witches screamed in fright at the sudden appearance of the skeletons, but they quickly realized that it was a group of performers who had come from afar.
Dumbledore's promise to invite the Skull Dancers came true.
Suddenly, a platform rose up among the skeletons, and a female skeleton stood on it.
That singing voice came from her.
However, during the chanting, his seemingly empty jaw opened and closed, which looked quite comical.
The bizarre singing of skeletons, combined with the dancing of mechanical skeletons, created a strange, eerie, and joyful atmosphere.
But clearly, the young wizards had no interest in this rather somber dance.
Just as they were getting drowsy,
The singing on stage suddenly changed 180 degrees.
The ethereal, somber music suddenly became more lively.
The singer's lyrics also shifted from being like those of old, antique songs to being fresh and new:
"It's close to midnight."
"Something_evils_lurking_in_the_dark."
At the same time, the dancing skeletons also became more dynamic in their movements.
Although it still retains the inherent mechanical and rigid nature of a skeleton, it reveals a pulsating rhythm within the machinery, making people unable to resist dancing along.
The young wizards immediately perked up, each looking at the stage in amazement.
Many senior Muggle wizards said they felt like they had heard this song before.
Only Dumbledore, sitting in the teachers' seat, frowned: "I don't remember ordering this piece... Oh right, what's the song called again? It's quite nice."
Then he saw Levin on the Ravenclaw table, waving his wand at the Skull Dancers like a conductor.
Although he didn't know how he did it, Dumbledore was immediately relieved.
At least the one who caused the accident was a student in the college, not some malicious person.
On the long table, Levin continued to wave his wand, directing this impromptu performance.
Through the Necromantic school's techniques of controlling corpses, as well as magic mouthing and illusionary sound,
He successfully controlled the Skull Dance Troupe to carry out his own performances.
The skeletons moved in perfect unison, dancing mechanically to the rhythm of the music.
Tiptoeing, hip twisting, turning around, stepping, neck twisting, turning around, glancing back
The captivating dance moves inspired many young wizards to imitate them.
The skeleton singer also sang the lyrics in a high-pitched voice:
"Cause_this_is_thriller_thriller_night."
"And no one's gonna save you."
"From_the_beast_about_to_strike."
The catchy lyrics have already prompted many wizards to sing along.
What was originally a dull performance has now turned into a disco event.
Finally, those exciting ten minutes passed.
Even after the music ended, the young wizards continued to tap their knives and forks on the golden plate, whistle, clap their hands, and cheer loudly.
The skeleton dancers bowed to the surroundings and then disappeared back underground.
Thunderous applause filled the auditorium.
Many of the applause from Ravenclaws was directed at Levin, and many of them had already realized that Levin had secretly altered the performance.
"What wonderful music! Thank you to the Skull Dance Company and Mr. Green for the performance."
Professor Dumbledore appeared in the center of the stage, wiped away imaginary tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with emotion...
The applause grew even louder, and the young wizards were surprised to discover that this academic genius was not only an all-around learner but also a really cool guy.
Levin accepted the praise with a smile.
He felt that with this skill, he would definitely dominate the entertainment industry in the magical world after graduation.
"So now, let's celebrate and eat to our hearts' content!"
Following the joyful performance, the Halloween dinner officially began.
Everyone ate to their heart's content.
As Levin enjoyed his dessert, he couldn't help but think of the two unfortunate little boys who had attended the anniversary party.
They are probably facing a table full of rotting kitchen waste now, forced to eat raw black bread to fill their stomachs.
But what lies ahead may be an even more unfortunate fate for them.
After the banquet, Levin followed the bustling crowd out of the hall and up the stairs.
Suddenly, the lively, chattering sounds stopped, and the students in front stopped and saw a terrifying scene.
Between the two windows, on a wall about a foot above the ground, were some writings, gleaming faintly in the light of the burning torches.
The secret chamber has been opened. Beware of those who oppose the heir.
Below the banner, Mrs. Lorris—the caretaker Filch's beloved cat—had its tail dangling from the torch stand, its body stiff as a board, its eyes wide open, staring straight ahead.
There was also a puddle of water in the corridor.
Harry and Ron stood alone against the wall, looking completely panicked.
But that kind of look actually gives people the feeling that the person has been caught red-handed.
"It wasn't me..."
Harry hurriedly tried to explain.
Before he could finish speaking, Malfoy squeezed out of the crowd.
His cold eyes lit up, and his usually pale face flushed crimson. He looked at the words, then scanned the young wizards around him.
Then he saw Hermione, the Muggle girl who had made him lose face.
"Those who oppose the heir, beware! You could be next, you idiot..."
Malfoy suddenly found himself unable to speak, and then he realized that everyone around him had suddenly become enormous... no, he should be the one who shrank.
Then he looked at his hand, which was a brownish-green, slimy claw with webbed fingers—he had been turned into a toad.
Then he saw Levin step out from the crowd, walk up to him, and pick him up from the ground.
Malfoy's two henchmen tried to rush forward, but Levin didn't turn around or even use his wand.
Suddenly, a thick pool of oil appeared at the feet of his two henchmen, and they collapsed on the spot, just like last time on the football field.
They really don't learn from their mistakes.
Looking at the trembling toad before him, Levin let out a cold laugh: "Don't be afraid, I won't kill you. I'm just very curious, who gave you the courage to speak to me like that a second time, huh?!"
Malfoy opened his mouth, trying to explain, but only managed to utter a series of unpleasant "quacks".
Even so, the boy understood what the other person was trying to say.
He just shook his head: "Your good-for-nothing father can't control me, even if he's a school board member."
“I hope this is the last time I hear the word 'Mudblood' from your mouth, otherwise…”
As Levin spoke, he gestured with his wand on the toad's belly.
"You'd better prepare to be a toad for the rest of your life."
As he spoke, he casually tossed it aside.
Malfoy, who had been transformed by the [Malicious Polymorph], returned to human form.
He immediately let out a terrified scream, ran for his life, grabbed his two henchmen, and fled.
Just then, footsteps sounded behind them.
The professors have arrived.
Chapter 124 Harry Potter and a Study in Scarlet
"What happened? What happened?"
Without even a moment's mourning for Malfoy's tragedy, the one who immediately rushed to the battlefield was—the administrator Filch.
He pushed his way through the crowd. Then he saw Mrs. Lorris, and he stumbled back a few steps, clutching his face in horror.
