HP Approaches the Magic World

Growing old is the fate of living things.

As long as you have a physical life, there is no way to resist the decay caused by time. Even if the body can maintain youth, the decay of the soul is ultimately irreversible.

Just like the Flamel couple, over a long period of time they have suffered enough from the pain of the death of relatives and the departure of close friends.

Birth, old age, illness and death are human nature. After all, LeMay and his wife still have each other's company, but he has been alone for many years.

But this is his punishment for himself.

Those who betray their blood pact should be punished.

Dumbledore suddenly wanted to take a rest.

He has not had a good rest.

So he put down the pen in his hand.

…

Peeves found Jon on the rooftop of Hogwarts.

In fact, it can't be said that he has been found. After all, in Hogwarts, his perceptions are everywhere in the school.

"You took my place, boy."

Peeves suddenly appeared in front of Jon, who was half lying down, and Jon was startled.

"I heard the fat monk say once before that you like to sit here, and now it seems that it is indeed true."

Jon moved his body to make room for Peeves.

"Sit down and chat with me."

Of course Peeves can sit down and his body can be transformed into a physical entity. Ghosts already have this special ability. They are "life" who have received the gift of death and possess a special kind of intangible thing.

To put it bluntly, they can create a "shell" on their surface by temporarily condensing magical elements, thereby achieving a state similar to that of a living person.

It's just that this state is just a symptom, and it can't last for too long, and it wastes the fundamental material for the ghost's existence - death dust.

As a substance transformed by the soul when experiencing death, death dust is more important to ghosts than the soul is to humans.

Without the soul, the human body can still survive as a vegetative state, but without the death dust, the ghost will really disappear.

Therefore, ordinary ghosts will not materialize, dare not, and do not have this need. They do not need to interfere with reality. The existence of magic also benefits ghosts a lot - they can exist in magical elements, just like walking on land.

Same as above, just like Jon could always see the fat monk sitting in the Hufflepuff common room reading a book.

But obviously Peeves doesn't seem to have this problem. If it's not that his death dust is endless, then it means that his transformation into a physical entity does not require any energy consumption.

"Of course it's the latter."

Peeves, who was sitting next to Jon with his knees in his arms, was not half as tall as Jon. He looked cute and cute when he was quiet.

But he seemed to be able to hear what Jon was thinking. As soon as Jon finished his thoughts, he answered aloud.

"Don't be so surprised. I'm an earthbound spirit. Isn't it normal to have some special abilities?"

Peeves seemed to enjoy seeing Jon's surprise, and Jon thought there was something wrong with him.

But having said that, Peeves has been having problems for more than a day or two. At least in front of him, he is not the mischievous ghost who likes to do things.

"Don't read my mind, this brings back some not so good memories."

Jon refuses this behavior. He has not yet mastered Occlumency, and it is impossible to maintain the use of Occlumency at all times. That would consume a lot of money.

Moreover, Occlumency is okay against magic like Legilimency. Peeves' mind-reading magic is a kind of magic similar to profiling, which is more difficult to resist than Grindelwald's mind-reading spell.

After all, Grindelwald's mind reading is to interpret soul fluctuations, and it can only be used completely under the special environment where the two met last time, otherwise it will still be blocked by Occlumency.

"Did you come to see me for something?"

Jon looked at Hogwarts in front of him, shrouded in darkness, and his thoughts seemed to have been opened.

No wonder Peeves likes to sit here.

"Don't make random assumptions about me. That's not why I like sitting here."

"I told you not to read my mind."

Jon said sullenly.

"Alright alright."

Peeves compromised and started talking about serious things.

"I suggest you think about the Dragon Soul Crypt matter carefully." He said: "From my point of view, I don't recommend that you go there to complete your affairs. If you want to find a quiet place,

I can find ten or eight for you, you don’t have to go there.”

"What's in there?"

Jon asked very simply. The more Peeves tried to hide it, the more curious he became.

"Since you asked sincerely, I will tell you with mercy."

Peeves shrugged his shoulders and told Jon everything he had told Dumbledore.

"Although it is said that you can get out of that place, who knows how long you will stay in it. Although the Dragon Soul Crypt has not been used for a long time, the Dragon Soul is still there and the magic energy has been accumulating. You will definitely be able to go in.

Danger."

"I think so."

After listening to "catalytic magic", Jon roughly knew what kind of danger level it contained. He was also a person who had watched the war. The magic of the Holy See was basically created for wizards.

The so-called catalytic magic is essentially to instill magic power.

Magic elements have no attributes, but the wizard's magic power has some attributes. Magic powers with different attributes will compete with each other, forming a situation where "we all have the same strength but you just can't beat me." What's more domineering about catalytic magic is that this magic

It usually comes from high-level wizards dealing with low-level wizards, using a large amount of magic power with different attributes to directly burst the low-level wizards. Those who are more lucky may be assimilated because of similar magic attributes. If they are unlucky, they will die directly.

The kind that can't even retain its soul.

"But catalytic magic should have a time limit. Isn't it possible that it hasn't dissipated after so many years?"

Peeves rolled his eyes at Jon: "You can think of the problem, but the red archbishop can't think of it? The reason for sacrificing himself is to preserve this magic. How can magic exist under the barrier for so long?

Maybe you don’t have your own way of existence?”

"Enchantment?"

Jon was no longer surprised to hear any words from Peeves' mouth now. The ghost always spoke little by little and never finished his words in one go.

Jon didn't care: "To be honest, if Helga hadn't insisted on me going, I wouldn't have known about this place. Why don't you just be more simple and help me think about it?"
