The Vanishing Cabinet was brought by Dumbledore, and Kyle didn't find it surprising, but the time point more than 50 years ago was more interesting.

As we all know, Professor Dumbledore was awarded the Order of Merlin, First Class, because he defeated Grindelwald in 1945. In the same year, Grindelwald was also imprisoned in the Nurmengard Tower.

Dumbledore threw away the Vanishing Cabinet at that time...tsk, there is a story behind this.

Of course, Kyle didn't dare to say much when it came to gossip about the principal.

After all, Harry's mouth is as good as Hagrid's. If he lets something slip one day, it will be a lot of fun.

"So, you mean, this cabinet was broken before?" Kyle asked.

"Yes, Peeves used to hide in this cupboard to avoid Filch for a while," said Nick. "If it was good, Peeves would have appeared there long ago."

“I see…”

Kyle nodded. He did find a few cracks in the Vanishing Cabinet. Moreover, those marks were very old and could not have been caused by a recent fall.

"What are you going to do with this Vanishing Cabinet?"

"Just leave it here," said Nearly Headless Nick nonchalantly. "No one comes to this classroom. Peeves will probably take it later."

Kyle nodded thoughtfully.

Then they left the classroom, and Harry noticed that Nearly Headless Nick was still holding the transparent reply letter in his hand.

Maybe she wanted to repay him for saving her life just now...

"Regarding the matter of the Headless Hunters, I wish I could do something for you."

"No thanks." Nick put the letter back into his shirt. "I decided to form my own hunting team. One day, they will regret shutting me out."

Speaking of this, the curious image of Nick shaking his head appeared in Harry's mind again.

He quickly patted his face, forcing himself to forget those "dirty things", and then laughed dryly: "Then... I wish you success."

"Thank you, but I have a request."

"What..." Harry asked.

"Although this may be a bit too much to ask...but can you come to my death anniversary party?"

Nearly Headless Nick said with some anticipation: "It will be on Halloween Eve. I will then announce the establishment of my own hunting team in front of all my friends. It would be an honor for me if you could come."

"I'll come," Harry agreed readily. "Can I bring someone else with me?"

"If you mean Mr. Weasley and Miss Granger... of course, they are also very popular."

He looked back at Kyle.

"My apologies, Lord Porpington."

Kyle said regretfully: "Although I really want to witness the birth of a great hunter team, I have already promised Cedric to watch the performance of the Skeleton Dance Troupe with him, so..."

“Oh, of course…” Nearly Headless Nick said with a smile: “What I mean is, if you promised others first, you must keep your promise. It’s me who said it too late.

But did Dumbledore really invite the Skeleton Dance Company?"

"This is what Professor McGonagall accidentally said a few days ago. It should be fine." Kyle said.

"Oh...why this year?"

Nearly Headless Nick tugged at his hat and said, "I've liked their performances since two hundred years ago... and I heard from the Howling Baron that they recently choreographed new dance moves that are fantastic.

Why this year? "

Nick, who was almost headless, turned a few circles in the air. "Tell me, if I invite the Skeleton Dance Troupe to my Deathday party after their performance, will they agree?"

"Probably... maybe." Kyle said uncertainly.

Although there is no essential difference between skeletons and ghosts, they are two different species after all...it is hard to say whether they will be interested in ghosts.

"It would be nice if you could agree to that."

Nearly Headless Nick looked out the window longingly, muttering to himself, "It would be great if the Skeleton Dance Company and Harry Potter came to my Deathday party together!"

After leaving this corridor, there are stairs not far ahead.

Kyle and Harry were going back to their respective common rooms, Nick was going to look for Peeves... and then they went their separate ways.

…

By the time Kyle got back to the common room, it was almost curfew.

However, there are still many students sitting in the common room doing their homework, which is also a Hufflepuff tradition.

Kyle found Cedric and Connor near the window.

"Deathday party?" Cedric said thankfully, "It's a good thing you didn't agree to it. I'm sure that kind of scene would not be suitable for living people."

"Have you participated?" Kanna asked.

"No." Cedric shook his head, "But when I went to the kitchen before, I saw the house elves carrying some freshly prepared food out of the kitchen.

They also said that these were prepared for a ghost party and needed to be kept for a long time until they completely rotted or grew mold. "

"The house-elves probably wouldn't allow that kind of thing in the kitchen," Connor whispered.

She had been in the kitchen many times and it was always clean and the food was always freshest.

"Yeah, so they took those things outside." Cedric shrugged.

"Just think about it, having a Halloween dinner and having to deal with a bunch of moldy, rotten food is not a fun experience."

"So I refused." Kyle said, "But looking at Porter, he seems to be quite interested."

"Harry Potter..." Cedric smacked his lips, "No wonder he was able to defeat the You-Know-Who, he's just different from us, normal people wouldn't want to attend a ghost's party, right?

Should we go and remind him?"

"It's useless. Potter has already agreed." Kyle said: "He didn't even hesitate for a second."

"Then there's nothing we can do..."

It was still pouring outside the window and the sky was dark as ink, but inside the house it was bright and cheerful.

While others were doing their homework or playing wizard chess, Kyle told Cedric and Connor about his wonderful experience in front of the library.

This made them quickly forget about the ghost.

"You suddenly became smart when you passed by the library?" Cedric opened his mouth in surprise, and it felt like a whole potato could fit in it.

"How is this possible!?"

He had no idea how many times he had walked the road in front of the library. If that was the case, how come he had never encountered this before?

Kanna didn't quite believe it either.

This kind of thing... Professor Snape never mentioned it to her.

Besides, if you can become smarter just by walking in front of the library, then why would we need to go to classes? We could just queue up there every day.

"I find it incredible, too." Kyle whispered, "But I really encountered it, I'm not lying to you."

"Is it possible that you've been too tired lately and are hallucinating?" Cedric still couldn't quite believe this.

“It could also be that something you didn’t understand before suddenly became clear to you.”

Kanna glanced at Kyle and said thoughtfully, "I was like this before. I could never make the perfect water of life and death. But one time when I picked up the crucible, I suddenly realized where I was wrong, and then I made the perfect water of life and death smoothly."

She felt that Kyle should be the same as she was at that time.

"Maybe..." After hearing what the two said, Kyle became a little unconfident.

He decided to try again at the library entrance in the next few days. If it still doesn't work... then there would be nothing else to do.
