It seems that Xiaoer has no fate with ghosts. It's okay if he didn't find Ms. Gray in the whole year last year, and he also didn't encounter this special ghost.
Later, when I thought about the school history of Hogwarts, I felt relieved.
Strictly speaking, Peeves is not a ghost, but a special ghost activated by the castle.
By analogy to certain aged buildings in folklore, self-awareness will emerge.
Even if this ancient building is destroyed, there will still be ghost buildings that appear and disappear from time to time, leaving behind various horror legends.
And Peeves' character is determined by the emotions and school spirit of the little wizards.
Nearly 200 years ago, a headmistress, Eupracia Moore, was even more draconian than her grandfather, Phileas.
At that time, the school ethos was cruel and the discipline was strict. Peeves' personality was affected, and he became full of evil, almost to the point of shooting and killing the little wizard.
However, no matter how the school tried to expel and kill Peeves, it failed, and instead caused a lot of restlessness.
In the end, the headmistress had to sign a treaty with Peeves.
But after Dumbledore took office, the school spirit was released and relaxed, and Peeves' character immediately jumped out, and small pranks emerged endlessly.
But last year, Shaw started to clean up the school ethos, which was neither serious nor easy.
Peeves was about to die immediately, and he kept avoiding the authoritative Shaw.
After a summer vacation, it seems that Peeves has regained a lot of bad tastes.
Xiao Er led everyone towards the arch, and Peeves bluffed arrogantly, "Eat me a ball", and threw the water polo in his hand.
But when he saw that it was Xiao Er, he immediately said in horror.
"Ah, the Great Demon King is here, run!"
Xiao Er waved the water polo to float in the air, and then went in the opposite direction, turning into a water prison charged with Kling in an instant to trap the escaped Peeves.
Peeves tried to pass through the water, but his mouth was crooked and his eyes were squinted by the electric shock, and he began to yell for grievances.
"Big Demon King, I didn't do it on purpose, I didn't see it was you, let me go, I swear I will hide from you in the future."
Xiao Er smiled faintly, moved the triangular cage to the front of him, stretched out his hand like carrying a pet cage, and walked towards the auditorium.
Seeing Peeves shrink into a ball in fear, he comforted him.
"Peves, don't be afraid, I just asked you to do something."
"cracking!"
Xiao Er hurriedly turned his head to comfort Zi Ying who was pecking at his hair on his shoulder.
"Ahem, it's not my pet, I'll let it go in a while, don't be angry."
Chapter 154 Cooperation with Peeves
In the resplendent hall, although the magic sky above the head is thundering and lightning, thousands of floating candles still make the hall shine brightly. Excited students are sitting on the long table, so full of vigor.
No matter how many times I watch this vivid scene of the school-opening dinner, I can never get tired of it.
Shaw sat down at the long Slytherin table, put the cage containing Peeves on the table, and transformed a tableware into a bird stand, and put Purple Shadow on it before he had time to observe.
He immediately saw a group of pearly white ghosts floating out of the hall, which was a Hogwarts practice to scare new students.
Xiao Er couldn't control so much, and chased him out under everyone's surprised eyes.
But after a while, he came back disappointed.
He did see Ms. Gray at the door just now, but the other party just pretended to be a symbol, frightened the new students and then drifted away.
Xiaoer wanted to chase, but was immediately stopped by Baro, and Xiaoer was so angry that he almost yelled at dogs and rats.
After returning to the long table and sitting down, he calmed down and heard the smiling voices of the professors behind him.
He turned to look.
At the teacher's table, I saw Lockhart behaving properly, chatting happily with Flitwick, Sprout and other professors happily.
Even the divination professor Trelawney, who was nagging no one to talk to, was taken care of by Lockhart.
They also thoughtfully gave each of them a thoughtful but inexpensive little gift, and easily integrated into the professor group.
Of course, Snape was still reticent, looked at Lockhart several times with scrutinizing eyes, and then turned to stare at Gryffindor.
And today's Lockhart still didn't wear dazzling clothes such as bronzing gold, but a slim-fit wizard robe with purple and gold patterns on a black background.
This made Xiao Er stunned, and looked down at the green-backed silver-edged school uniform he had changed on the train.
It's so dangerous, I almost hit my shirt!
wrong!Lockhart probably didn't do it on purpose, did he?
Xiao Er touched his nose and thought about the other party's intentions.
Before asking people to investigate Lockhart, they didn't find much. The other party has been collecting writing materials all year round, and his whereabouts are uncertain.
In any case, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was a source of danger every year and a target to watch out for.
At this time, Professor McGonagall walked in with the embarrassed first-year students, preparing for the sorting ceremony.
Shaw glanced at it. Apart from Ginny Weasley this year, only Luna, who was always in a trance, deserved some attention.
Shaw turned around and started talking to Peeves.
"Peves, I heard you had a great time at Hogwarts."
Peeves is actually a very clever ghost, and he has a choice when he bullies others. He never provokes powerful and authoritative professors.
Now it is trapped in the water prison, that is, it does not want to be electrocuted. If you are so reckless, Xiao Er will definitely not be able to trap it.
Seeing Xiao Er's harmonious voice, Peeves rolled his big eyes and said arrogantly.
"Of course, in this castle, who dares not give me face? I still know a lot of secrets, how about this, you let me go, and I will tell you a scandal about Dumbledore."
Xiao Er smiled, and he is another master who remembers eating but not hitting.
"Forget about the secret, how about we make a deal?"
"Ang? Let's hear it from the Great Demon King."
Shaw took out a communication card and handed it to Peeves.
"That's how it is. Since you're on the wrong side of the road, why don't you help me find Ms. Gray. This is a communication card. If you have Ms. Gray's whereabouts, please send me a message."
Peeves can touch real objects, and even has a small amount of magic power available, which is also its special feature.
It took the playing cards, looked them over curiously, but cunningly did not agree immediately.
"Ms. Gray, she's used to being alone. Usually, the ghosts don't even attend meetings with him. Speaking of this, I'm angry. I want to participate in the ghost meeting but I was boycotted by those bad guys. I'm also a veteran, okay? In this castle , except Gray, and Barrow is a bit older than me, hmph, if you don’t let me participate, I’ll make trouble..."
Shaw stroked his forehead, and had to interrupt Peeves who was talking endlessly.
"Ahem, let's get to the point!"
Peeves curled his lips.
"Ms. Gray is hard to find, and Baro is always there to protect her. It's not easy!"
Shore directly gave the chips.
"You know, I have a set of rules for rewards and punishments. If you help me accomplish this, the little wizard who makes mistakes in the future will confiscate the wand and lock you in the same room. I will also provide you with some prank props .”
Peeves' eyes widened.
What a genius idea!
Affected by the school ethos, Peeves is a little sluggish now. He has fewer and fewer prank ideas, and he is always warned by passing professors.
But now he was able to make pranks and provide equipment according to the order.
How it is not exciting.
"I'll do it, I'll do it, I promise to find Ms. Gray for you."
Xiao Er also came up with this idea on the spur of the moment. The sea of punishment alone is really not a deterrent to some top players.
Now there is one more method.
Shaw released Peeves with a wave of his hand.
"Pleasant to work with."
"Yo Yo, I will be able to play pranks aboveboard in the future! Little wizards, your nightmare is coming!"
This guy was very excited, and ran off to work in a flash.
This scene attracted the attention of many people, even the sorting ceremony was interrupted.
Professor McGonagall took a serious look at Shaw and continued to read the names of the new students.
"Luna Lovegood."
Xiao Er rubbed his nose awkwardly, and saw a dark blonde little witch with weird clothes jumping out of the few freshmen.
A pair of radish earrings are particularly eye-catching.
After Luna sat on the triangular stool, she wanted to touch the sorting hat on top of her head curiously, but the sorting hat quickly sorted her into houses.
"Ravenclaw!"
Luna felt a little pity, but ran to the Ravenclaw table again, bouncing around, as if no one was there.
This kind of maverick style, even in Ravenclaw, is considered rare, and no one stood up to greet him for a while.
Fortunately, Ravenclaw has a warm-hearted Hermione. Seeing that Luna didn't know where to sit, she quickly got up and pulled this strange school girl.
Then Ginny was also assigned to Gryffindor, without any accident.
Dumbledore has been watching all this kindly, of course, the main attention is on the head of Slytherin, and he is also distracted to observe the new professor.
After the sorting ceremony, he rose to speak.
"The new year has started again, I hope your little brains can learn more useful knowledge in the new semester.
It's still a cliché, you are not allowed to go to the Forbidden Forest without permission,..., you are not allowed in the corridor....
And this year's fourth floor is still set as a restricted area. If you don't want to die in too much pain, don't be too curious.
Here, I solemnly introduce this year's new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, the famous adventurer Professor Gilderoy Lockhart. "
