Chapter 1911 Peeves' words

It is obviously not easy to restore something that has been destroyed to its original appearance; and it is even more difficult to restore it to exactly the same as before.

For Maka, the former may still be possible, but as for the latter...

"I always feel like...there's still something missing."

He couldn't help but mutter to himself as he walked in the deserted corridor, looking at the familiar yet slightly unfamiliar classrooms.

"Is it because there are fewer people?"

Since it was completely rebuilt according to the remaining memories in my mind, this "new" Hogwarts Castle is no different from the past at least on the surface - every floor tile under your feet, every line on the wall

The texture, and even the tilt angle of each book on the bookshelf, even if Maka were to use the pensieve to retrieve memories for comparison, she would definitely not find the slightest difference.

However, let alone the difference between human and non-human beings, the large number of ancient and modern magic spells originally attached to every corner of the castle cannot be restored by Maka.

"Oh, these stairs should move on their own."

Slowly wandering to the steps of the castle, Maka raised her head and looked at the suspended stone steps without any support, and couldn't help but frown slightly.

The ever-changing staircase was designed and built by Rowena Ravenclaw himself, and many very subtle and exquisite magic techniques were used in it.

Now, if Maka is asked to restore this set of movable stairs extending in all directions... I have to say that it is not very difficult to achieve that effect, but it would still be difficult to keep such complex magic stairs running for thousands of years.

Unless something goes wrong, this is not a job that can be completed in ten days and a half of research.

Maka stood at the bottom of the stairs, looked up at them and gestured a few times, and finally shook his head - he obviously didn't have the time to mess with something that was somewhat insignificant at the moment.

"Maka, I want to go see the greenhouse...can you come with me?"

Suddenly, Willie, who had been following him, asked softly.

"Greenhouse?" Maka paused for a moment, then nodded, "Yeah, sure!"

As he spoke, he was about to walk back with Willy, but at the moment he turned around, he suddenly felt a slightly unusual, yet quite familiar wave passing above him.

"Wait a minute."

After saying something to Willy, he turned around again, raised his head and took a glance. Then, he suddenly reached out his hand and grabbed it gently, and then moved towards it as if he had grabbed something.

Pull back.

The next moment, a white and somewhat transparent shadow was pulled out of thin air by him.

"Oh...who is it? What's going on? Where am I? Hey? Isn't this McClain? Oh, and the little mute with white hair..."

The phantom struggled in Maka's hand for a few times, but found that it was impossible to break free, so it simply stopped moving. However, its mouth was not idle at all, and it was still chattering there.

"You've become like this, can't you just shut up and say less?" Makati said, sliding its funny, slightly blurred collar, "Peeves."

"It's because this is the case that I want to take this opportunity to say a few more words... Oh! How can you, a little brat, know this!"

Peeves shook his short arms and legs a few more times, then stuck out his tongue and made a face at Maka, unable to calm down at all.

However, no matter how noisy and mischievous it behaves, it can no longer hide its fundamental weakness. If Maka hadn't taken the initiative to help it condense its appearance, it could barely maintain its self-awareness at the moment.

After all, Peeves is just a spirit monster born from the spiritual energy of teachers and students of all generations.

"Peeves?" Seeing this, Willie couldn't help but come over and take a look at it, "Long time no see."

"Oh, little mute, it turns out you can talk! Haha..."

"I'm not mute." Willy pursed her lips and said.

"Okay!" Peeves curled his lips, "I know, little mute."

Maka watched it and Willie bickering there, and after thinking about it for a while, she suddenly realized a possibility—perhaps, it was the former "alumni" who had lived here for a while that allowed it to form that trace of fluctuation again.

Before that, it had probably disappeared because the people at Hogwarts had left.

"I told you, I'm not mute."

"Didn't I say it too? I know, white-haired little mute!"

Probably even Peeves himself gradually realized that he really no longer had the energy to talk as much as before. As he talked, he panted slightly and finally gave up trying to make Willy angry.

Unexpectedly, after taking a few more breaths, he suddenly turned to look at Maka and said:

"Unruly McClane... you should let go! No need to waste any more energy... Peeves is not afraid of death and will not die... Instead of just facing you three guys in this empty castle

Instead of talking, it would be better to have a good sleep."

"How about I take you to the ship? The students and professors are all there now." Maka thought for a while and said.

However, I saw it immediately shook its head without hesitation.

"Peeves is the Peeves in Hogwarts Castle, not the Peeves on the ship!"

"Well," Maka looked at it rather feebly for a while, and finally nodded and said, "That's right... then you just... wait a little longer!"

After finishing her words, Maka relaxed her hand holding it, and then watched it quickly begin to fade away as if it was about to melt into the air.

"...Boy, let this end as soon as possible! Peeves is not afraid of anything, he is afraid of no one... This is too... too lonely."

Listening to the last words that echoed faintly in the empty stairwell, Maka was startled, and habitually raised her hand to rub her forehead. Then, she turned around and looked at the person standing just a little bit away.

Mr. Blois in the distance patted Willy on the shoulder again and said:

"Let's go! Aren't you going to the greenhouse? Then go and have a look!"

To be honest, Peeves' last words really touched Maka. Yes, as long as the teachers and students are still there, "Hogwarts" can be anywhere. However, this is not inevitable.

It's too "lonely".

After looking back for a moment, Maka took Willy and walked towards the foyer step by step.

Outside the castle, the weather was still very beautiful. Looking up, the sky was clear and blue.
