My Classmate at Hogwarts is Voldemort

Peeves seems to have magical powers far beyond the imagination of wizards, especially in the castle, he is almost invincible, unless someone can fight against this ancient castle that has existed for thousands of years and has been cast with countless magics, and those who live in the castle. imprints left by people.

The little Peeves armed himself with weapons of almost unlimited firepower, making him look like a miniature war machine, and he rampaged through the castle recklessly, firing at the crowd without hesitation.

And all of this is just for self-entertainment. From Peeves' point of view, his current behavior is no different from those previous pranks. His pranks have always been based on local materials, and he uses whatever the students and teachers use— —Aren’t these enchanted scimitars, crossbows, short spears and cannons also from the traps set by Lankoros?

It's just that no one thought that these traps, which are enough to kill any unsuspecting wizard, would be helpless with a "ghost". During this period of time, he has not been in fear of the weapons he prepared for a second.

Fortunately, Peeves' focus is only on playing around. Although the magic power is powerful, it has no means to use it effectively, and there is no way to attack other people. This also makes the senior students and professors not suffer much. Injuries, and can even allocate energy to organize a certain degree of counterattack while protecting lower grade students.

Armando stood up again and put an end to his plan. He persuaded the headmaster at the time, Eupracia Moore, to organize the evacuation of the students first, and transfer the excited little ones to the safer Hogsmeade. The work went on for three full days, and the confrontation on campus also went on for three full days.

At this moment, Amento regretted his impulsive plan very much. After looking for Rankoros that day, he was a little excited, lay in bed for a long time, and woke up a few minutes late the next morning. This may be the first time he can remember. He woke up late three times, but he seemed completely unaware of the serious consequences of the first two late wake-ups.

So much so that he secretly swore that he would go to bed early and get up early in the future, but he never imagined that in the future, he would face one sleepless night after another.

The professors who participated in this "big war" were reluctant to mention it in front of others, because it seemed that it was not a war at all, it seemed that it was not even a battle, and how could a battle without an enemy be called a battle? Woolen cloth? Any one of them thought they could easily defeat a mischievous ghost, but embarrassingly, none of them could find him, or even meet him.

Peeves seems to be able to predict the movements of everyone in the castle, like a living map with everyone's names marked on it, even if he casts the Disillusionment spell or transforms into an Animagus professor, he will immediately find out. Immediately afterwards, a shuttle crossbow arrow was shot at the head.

"This is not a problem..." The helpless Principal Moore couldn't accept the impact of the long confrontation on teaching, and finally agreed to negotiate with Peeves. After the professors were beaten in the castle for three days, She recalled these helpless great wizards, and led the instigator, Armando, into the gate of the castle.

...

"What is the final result?" Dumbledore followed Professor Binns to a long-abandoned corridor in the underground of Hogwarts.

"The administrator was rescued, hanged from the lamp in a bad manner, and resigned the next day." Professor Binns said without looking back.

"I mean that... Peeves."

"Oh, you said him," Professor Binns thought for a while, as if he was trying to pick out these unimportant things from his memory full of history, and said, "he made a list full of The conditions he put forward, and eventually Eupracia Moore signed on to it."

He flitted through a gate full of iron chains, and an ethereal voice came from behind the gate, "But he still wants to continue to play tricks, and finally stop him. He is not any professor in the school, but a ghost. Barrow of Raitlin, I'm also curious as to why he can make Peeves so afraid of him."

Dumbledore took some effort to remove the rusted and caked iron chain tied to the door, pushed the door open and walked in. As soon as he stepped into this corridor, he saw the shining blades all over the floor.

"It must be painful to step on it." He looked down at his feet and stepped down carefully. These blades are still so sharp after more than 60 years, and they seem to have not been eroded by the outside world at all, forming a sharp contrast with the chains on the door.

Some gleaming organs are hidden in the dark, pointing to a bell-shaped bell jar in the middle of the corridor, engraved with complicated magic patterns. In mid-air, several seemingly fragile brass-colored chains hung down, as if the air circulated by Dumbledore's push of the door was shaking.

When the whole lamp was swinging with the copper chain, Dumbledore leaned back and said with a strange expression: "Could it be..."

"boom!"

The huge impact echoed in the entire corridor, and the place where the bell jar was originally located was completely covered by the raised dust. Dumbledore, noticing a little bit of coldness, quickly used the knife under his feet to create a huge shield wall , standing in front of himself and Professor Binns.

"Thank you, Albus," Professor Binns floated slowly through the shield wall, letting the sharp knives penetrate his body, "but ghosts can't be hurt by knives. It's also the reason why I kept silent when they set up such a trap for the 'ghost'."

"Ahem," Dumbledore walked around the shield wall and looked at the front. These knives were all inserted into the shield except for the handle, and they didn't even make any sound. People could intuitively understand their sharpness. He Frowning, he waved his wand, "The whirlwind sweeps away."

A gust of breeze blew, and the dust in the corridor was swept away. The bell jar in the center didn't seem to be damaged at all, but fragments of crystal lamps were scattered all over the place.

"So what conditions did he put forward?" Dumbledore jumped forward in the direction of Professor Binns. Finally, he was a little annoyed by the matter of finding a foothold, and waved his hands to build a low bridge, stepping on it. go up.

"Allowing him to swim once a week in the men's room on the first floor, giving him the right to legally litter the kitchen with stale bread, and buying him a new hat, carefully crafted by his wife, with school funds."

"Hey," Dumbledore raised his eyebrows, "It's really expensive. Someone gave me one before, and I couldn't bear to buy it myself."

"Don't waste your time, Albus," said Professor Binns with a rare humor. "It's impossible for me to envy you. As we all know, ghosts can't wear hats."

"But to be honest, if they had known that the cost of keeping this Peeves alive was so small, they would not have spent so much thought," Dumbledore kicked the blade under his feet, looking at the scratches on the leather shoes. Mark, teasingly said, "The cost of building a bathroom may not be higher than these things."

"Yes, but who can see foresight?" Professor Binns floated to the side of the bell jar, and stroked the flickering magic pattern on it with his hand. There was a line of childish crooked handwriting in the corner of the complicated pattern. He waved Dumbledore over, "After all, there are very few people who can know the result before it starts."

Dumbledore did not answer his sentence, but walked to the bell jar and read the above sentence slowly.

"It's impossible for the idiots to drive Peeves away from the house. Peeves swears that as long as Hogwarts needs Peeves, Peeves will definitely be there!"

An ugly smiling face is drawn under this sentence, as if mocking everyone who reads this sentence.

"I have studied him specifically. When Hankleton was tortured to death by this guy, he once invited all the professors to discuss the issue of Peeves," Professor Binns said floating aside, "Many people are not like this It is the house elf of the Salazar family who has become a spirit, but this is not the case. I have speculated about it over the years, and I am more specific about it. The thirteenth castle administrator said that he is the elf of the castle. The embodiment of the mood of the castle."

"The elf of the castle?" Dumbledore's tone was puzzled.

"Yes, the elf here does not refer to some kind of magical creature, but he is a creature born from the castle. He is both the castle and the castle's child." Professor Binns explained, "I have tried to restore his body. Magic, which is why I, as a ghost, can hold the lesson plan in my hand, in fact, I only perfected my guess after your student Nelson shared with me his research on the magic of emotions."

"Nelson...?"

"Yes, don't you think that Peeves behaves like a child? He doesn't know his own abilities, dangers, right or wrong, he just likes to be a child with his own temper. prank."

"Actually, I don't know. After all, I haven't seen him."

"Well, Albus," Professor Binns continued after a pause, "I think you are well aware that even a house built by Muggles will produce some strange things after being inhabited by wizards for many years. phenomenon, not to mention this ancient castle that originally belonged to the Slytherin family, especially hundreds of young wizards live and study in it every year. Before."

"I see."

"A long time ago, when there was no Hogwarts, it was a scene for little wizards to run amok, especially during their fastest-growing teenagers, but when Hogwarts began to recruit children from all over the UK After wizards, this kind of situation has become very rare." While talking and laughing, Professor Binns revealed a big secret, "The Hogwarts castle was enchanted by the Big Four, specially used to channel The active magic power of the little wizards, and collect the escaped magic power to maintain the operation of the magic in the castle, for hundreds of years, these accumulated magic power will only become stronger and stronger."

"Is this the magic that created Peeves?" Dumbledore exclaimed, "It's amazing."

"Yes, and no, the castle has no ideas. It should be created by everyone living in Hogwarts," Professor Binns put his hand on the bell jar, sighed, and continued, " As a ghost, I deal with him a lot, don’t look at him bluffing every day, but in fact he lives a lonely life and rarely makes any friends.”

"It's a bit like some kids in school." Dumbledore also sighed.

"This is exactly what I want to say. He is a combination of personality and ideas of everyone living in Hogwarts. Most of the students who like to be mischievous and mischievous. They dare not resist the authority of the teacher, but they always want to jump to Outside the system, this formed his most basic character, but at the same time, he was eager for friends, eager for novelty and fun things, and like a professor, he felt that students should listen to him. He was everyone who stayed in the castle. The mark of his family," Professor Binns concluded after finishing a long paragraph in one breath, "but when the castle is in danger, he is often the first to rush to defend his homeland."

"Is that so?" After listening to Professor Binns' description of this magical guy who had never been masked, the well-informed Dumbledore also found it unbelievable. He only felt contradictory, but he also felt that it was well-founded.

"Yes, at least I think so," Professor Binns shook his head and continued, "Armando Dippet was already the principal when you enrolled, remember what he said in the admission letter words?"

"Remember," Dumbledore recalled, "the strict summer rules made me think I had sent the school rules by mistake, but the real school rules were stricter than that... But does it have anything to do with Peeves?"

"The high demands of pre-school make students have no idea of ​​​​resistance at the beginning. This may be the reason why Peeves reduced its activities and even disappeared completely after Dippet became the principal-many people think so."

"Completely disappeared..." Dumbledore pondered over Professor Binns' wording, and asked, "You don't seem to think so?"

"That's right, if he really disappeared, the other institutions in the castle should also be silent, but you should have suffered a lot from that staircase."

"That's right," Dumbledore nodded, "I really couldn't find my way when I was young, and I fell down several times."

"If the ghost is the memory of the castle, and the teachers and students are the soul of the castle, then Peeves is the castle itself. As long as Hogwarts still exists, he will exist," Professor Binns stroked the crooked string on the bell jar. He said softly, "Just as he said, as long as Hogwarts needs him, he will be there."

"Regardless of whether Hogwarts really needs someone to do pranks, why did he disappear?"

"That's why I asked you here," Professor Binns stared into Dumbledore's eyes, and said seriously, "Originally, the headmaster should tell you these things, but we can't find the headmaster now, so I can only tell you Yes. Hogwarts is an extraordinary magical item. In addition to the principal having most of the authority to control it, the students and ghosts living in the castle will also be protected by it. I think Peeves also has a certain degree of authority. In fact, he didn’t take the school’s expulsion seriously from the beginning to the end, it was just another kind of prank—sixty years ago, a former common enemy of the four giants used Salazar’s help in the basement of the castle. The creature protecting the castle woke up, and Peeves went to wipe it out by himself in order to protect his home, and we don't know how he did it."

"Basilisk?"

"So you knew...but since then, he disappeared until Melissa Sykes found him twenty years ago."
