The Occult Warlock of Hogwarts

Not long after DeWitt left the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid arrived, but he could only find a charred, smoking corpse on the ground with two holes poked in it. The ground was unusually wet. For Hagrid,

He said that when encountering a serious situation that cannot be solved, all he needs to do is go to Dumbledore, which he did. When he came to the Forbidden Forest again, Dumbledore came with him.

"This is...Professor Quirrell," Dumbledore showed no resentment at having his dream disturbed. He immediately recognized the identity of the body after arriving in his nightgown: "It's so tragic...Oh, this is so tragic.

, it’s simply not like a battle between wizards.”

"Is this Professor Quirrell?" Hagrid exclaimed in surprise: "He is a good man, but it's so late... Is he here to investigate the recent anomalies in the Forbidden Forest?"

"I'm afraid not," Dumbledore said calmly: "Quirrell is actually the source of the recent abnormality in the Forbidden Forest. Look at the traces on the ground - Quirrell fought against a unicorn, and he used black magic, but there was a person

Follow him, maybe track him, this man is experienced and knows how to hide his tracks, he saved the unicorn and killed Professor Quirrell."

Hagrid never questioned Dumbledore, nor did he find it embarrassing to change his mind. He happily looked around for traces of unicorns until he saw a few drops of silver unicorn blood on the ground and became distressed again.

He muttered: "Poor little thing..."

Dumbledore walked around, waving his wand and trying to recreate what had happened here.

"Professor," Hagrid scratched his head and asked, "That unicorn..."

"Already left," Dumbledore controlled Quirrell's body to float and said softly: "Nothing can be seen here. Let's go back to the castle. Remember, Professor Quirrell's information must be kept confidential."

The news of Professor Quirrell's death was suppressed. Hogwarts announced that Professor Quirrell had disappeared during the expedition in the Forbidden Forest. Snape is currently taking over the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

It was during this period that DeWitt gradually learned some news about Hogwarts - just like his worries before enrolling, he was worried that his name would be known by some demon, but that was just the "admission" passed down.

The "Book of Acceptance" and the "Pen of Acceptance" are performing their duties. When someone in this land shows his magical talent for the first time, the book and pen will record the person's name and date of birth. DeWitt is slightly different. He has studied specific

Based on the principle, you can infer that the date of your birth is regarded as your birthday, and your name should be recorded when you are called by others.

The days were supposed to go on smoothly, just like the Quidditch game. But just the day before the Christmas holiday, DeWitt heard the news that made him cancel his plan to go back to see Ms. Feier.

.

The reason was that DeWitt heard the discussion of the Weasley twins, and the twins said: "There seems to be something wrong with Peeves recently."

This is very strange.

Because Peeves had absorbed the secret source by DeWitt and was destroyed on the spot, the Weasley twins had acquiesced in Peeves' existence, so DeWitt approached him and asked, "What's wrong with Peeves?"
As mentioned before, twins are rare. After DeWitt was deducted points for skipping classes, not only did they not alienate him, but they actually appreciated him because of this "feat". Compared with most classmates in the same grade,

Instead, the twins chatted with DeWitt a few times. They usually talked about the current situation when they met. The most common topic was that the twins violated the rules again and were caught by Filch and punished.

"It's DeWitt," Fred said with a smile: "We saw Peeves recently and he ignored us. Now he doesn't do pranks when he sees the new students."

"It's really worrying," George said very distressedly: "We still want to differentiate ourselves from him. You know, we have been doing this since we entered school, but now, even if we stand in front of him, Peeves doesn't react and directly

Through our bodies..."

"Where has Peeves been lately?" DeWitt asked.

"Are you going to find him too?" The twins replied enthusiastically: "Many people often see Peeves wandering around on the top floor, and even more people think that Peeves is in a good situation now, but we always feel that there is some secret behind it.

”

DeWitt glanced at the two troublemakers.

"Let's go together?" the twins said, "But...are you the only one?"

DeWitt did not refuse: "Yes, but what do you mean? Of course I am the only one."

"Don't get me wrong," George grabbed Fred, who wanted to explain, and said with a wink, "Just one person, cough! Just one person - shall we go?"

Just as the twins said, Peeves was wandering on the top floor. As soon as the twins saw Peeves, they immediately ran over, provoking with words and scorning with actions, but unfortunately it was useless - Peeves was not unresponsive.

, but glanced at the twins lifelessly, and continued to float in the air in that contemplative posture.

Float from one end of the corridor to the other, and then back again.

"Won't he leave?" DeWitt asked the twins like a doctor asking Peeves' family members.

"No."

"We also came to see him quietly at night, and he just drifted like this and never stopped."

DeWitt carefully analyzed Peeves' demeanor and said: "It doesn't look like he has lost his response to the outside world, but more like - numb."

"It's much better now," said one of the twins: "When someone first saw him, he was still hiding in a cabinet in a classroom, and he seemed to be a Slytherin student - and he was shocked.

”

"It's a good thing to scare Slytherin," another said sadly: "But how could Peeves not chase the victory and drive that Slytherin all the way to the lounge? Peeves has fallen!"

DeWitt looked at the twins and then at Peeves. He didn't bother to tell who was who and asked directly: "What do you think?"

"We plan to awaken Peeves' past memories," Fred or George said seriously: "As long as Peeves can regain the pleasure of playing pranks, he will definitely recover."

"Of course it's not that we are willing to do 'bad things' ourselves," one said, and the other would join in with a smile: "We do it for the vitality of Hogwarts——"

"I think it's very interesting." DeWitt looked at Peeves with his peripheral vision, without revealing the twins' true purpose, and said thoughtfully.

"Do you want to join? We rarely invite others to join us," the twins said as if it was an honor to violate the school rules. They invited DeWitt as if they thought highly of him, but the tone was not annoying. Anyone who comes will be

Their emotional contagion: "As a freshman who lost almost 100 points at the beginning of school, we are optimistic about your talent. I have a hunch..."

The twins looked at each other: "Hogwarts will undergo earth-shaking changes because of your decision at this moment."

"When do we start?" DeWitt was about to start enjoying campus life: "How about tonight?"

"Okay." The twins rubbed their hands and became excited. They patted their chests, made a strange salute, and announced solemnly: "You have been promoted, soldier," and then they laughed together and said: "Wait until late at night, we

See you in the lounge."
