HP Approaches the Magic World

After a few minutes.

Jon, who returned to the Morn Garden again, looked at the fat monk and brought him a pot of steaming tea from a corner. He knew at a glance that it was going to be a long conversation.

But he had to listen to the gossip he chose even if he was sleepy to death, not to mention that Jon was not sleepy in the first place. As for tomorrow, the first class was Professor Sprout's class, and it was a theory class, so he could skip it.

Of course, it is not advisable to skip class openly, but there is still no problem in sleeping in class.

"Okay, are you ready to listen?"

The fat monk sat on the wicker chair, staring at Jon with his transparent eyes, which were a bit hazy because of the flickering.

Jon held a cup of tea and nodded seriously.

The fat monk rubbed the pocket watch on his chest. Even a ghost could touch the Thestral's feathers. This was a very wonderful experience.

He could no longer imagine what it was like the last time he had touch.

The ghost's voice always sounds ethereal, and at this moment, it seems even more ethereal.

"Jon, you know what?

I used to be a preacher in the Holy See. At that time, I was still a priest with a very high status and was bathed in the Holy Light, so I have witnessed many stories in my life.

The saint was seduced and became a witch; the devil, stained with blood, finally obtained the so-called salvation under the holy light.

Of course, these things are actually very simple to say, because human love and hate are both emotions, and what are emotions?

That is the most sudden thing in the world and has the most powerful power.

But Peeves was different. He didn't know anything when he died. From the moment he had consciousness, he had become the earthbound spirit of Hogwarts. He didn't care about death at all, because it had no effect on him.

Influence."

The fat monk looked at Jon and sighed softly: "Haven't you personally experienced his current abnormality?

When he was hated by the entire school, his kindness was ignored, and his behavior was ridiculed and cursed, he never changed himself or gave up on something he insisted on."

"Perhaps that's because he is actually a good person?"

"Good guy?"

Rencillo - the fat monk squinted his eyes and looked at Jon as if he was looking at some strange species: "Of course Peeves is not a good person, he just wants to be a good person."

The former Holy Light Priest of the Holy See began to explain to Jon: "You only know that Peeves is the Earthbinder of Hogwarts, but do you know what the Earthbinder is?"

Jon shook his head blankly. This was indeed his knowledge blind spot, or in other words, he still had many knowledge blind spots.

But... maybe Helga should know what happened when Peeves appeared.

"I can ask Helga's ancestor."

Jon raised his hand and said, although Helga herself is asleep now, she in the portrait must also know that these things belong to the past.

"Don't go to Ms. Hufflepuff for everything, young man, I'm not telling you anymore!"

The fat monk blew his beard wordlessly - if he had one - and began to tell Jon about the earthbound spirit.

"If evil has levels, then killing is actually not an evil thing. Don't listen to Dumbledore's remarks that killing is evil. He obviously killed a lot of people himself."

Jon drank tea in silence. Helga had told him this once before, but he suddenly remembered the representation of Voldemort's soul he saw last night, and felt that this matter must not be that simple.

To the extent that Voldemort's soul was broken and confused, simply killing someone would certainly not be so powerful. After all, for the wizard, this matter was not that terrifying.

Not to mention a dark wizard.

"In the current wizarding world, the way to distinguish black wizards and white wizards is to see whether they know some unforgivable spells. However, these powerful spells are what wizards should master. Without these magics, they would not even be able to do anything.

Protect yourself.”

"When I was still alive, the way wizards used to distinguish between good and evil was to see if the wizard had evil experiences in the past, such as magical experiments that made others worse than death."

"But there are certain restrictions on this target, right?" Jon asked: "Because casting evil magic on one's enemies doesn't feel like an evil thing no matter how you look at it."

"So, when I said 'other people', I meant innocent people."

The fat monk omitted what he wanted to explain. Since Jon already understood what he meant, there was no need to say more.

"Dealing with one's enemies is not a big deal in the first place. Due to emotional reasons, no matter how cruel you are, it will not affect the wizard himself. It can even help to improve his strength."

"So, you're saying that Peeves is the innocent sufferer?"

"It was a little worse than that, Peeves. He was still a baby when he died."

Newly born baby?

Jon was not surprised. After all, in the history of magic, it was very common to use babies to conduct magic experiments.

"But how could Hogwarts allow someone to use such a vicious curse here? The four founders were still alive at the time?"

"Of course they are here, otherwise why do you think Peeves is so different?"

The fat monk smiled: "Although we ghosts can simply interfere with the real space, being able to touch entities and move things like Peeves is not an ability that ordinary ghosts can have."

"...Unless there is a special enhancement in a certain place, right?"

Jon pointed to the teapot in front of him to show that he understood this.

"That's right, just like I was strengthened in the Garden of Morn, Peeves is strengthened throughout Hogwarts. He can choose what kind of ghost he becomes. It's really like me and you before.

I mean, he is actually a kind-hearted person, but his kindness has been covered up for some reasons."

"Peeves's strengthening comes from the compensation of the four founders. He can rely on the land of Hogwarts to strengthen himself, and I think no one knows better than you who is best at this kind of magic."

Obviously it's Helga, the witch who is best at earth magic.

"So, his appearance was also done by one of the four founders?"

The fat monk nodded noncommittally, then asked with a smile:

"Do you know why Peeves keeps causing havoc in the school?"
