Chapter 719: Naughty Trickster

Returning to the tower, the first thing Alan did was to throw the voldemort bat into the pentagram in the confinement and imprison him, and the most important task for him and Luna at the moment was to study the female ghost Blair that he had just obtained, and to study the spirit body, so that Helena could restore some of the feelings and abilities that only a living person could have.

With this female ghost named Blair in front of them, Luna and Alan began to study the spirits in earnest, shifting their time and energy to studying spirits. In the restraint of the imprisoned circle, in the five-pointed star made of Mithril stood the female ghost Blair with a face like a skeleton and a silver-green light, and the female ghost, who had always been terrifying, was now pitiful as a lamb in front of Alan and Luna. Her body constantly turned into black smoke in the various perceptual and detection spells of Eren and Luna, transforming into various shapes, and finally condensing into its original form.

During this period, her screams were heard in the perception room, and Muggles or ordinary wizards would be killed on the spot when they heard this kind of terrible and strange wail, but this did not have much impact on Luna and Eren because of their strong wills and mastery of the power of death due to the attribute potions, but if they were not attentive and prepared during the confrontation, they could still cause a more serious stun effect, just like hearing the screams of an underage mandrake.

In this room, many eight-eyed giant spiders lay silently on their backs on the ground, their large, sharp limbs curled up above their bodies. Even the eight-eyed giant spider, which had fled to the door of the room and was already some distance away from the female ghost Blair, could not survive the ghost's terrible screams.

"The howl that acts on the soul comes from the power of death. Luna kicked the corpse of an eight-eyed giant spider and observed for a while, "Banshee's Howl, this necromancy is a mimicry of the female ghost's ability. ”

"Indeed, her heart-rending wail is for the soul, and within a certain range, this terrible scream can be heard by all, and if the will is not strong enough, she will die—but for now let me clean it up and capture the soul. As Ellen's words fell, strange magical fluctuations reverberated through the room, attracting a trace of red-black mist to float out of the eight-eyed giant spider's corpse, and slowly, they converged into a swirling and condensing in the air, and finally compressed into a soul gem the size of a pigeon's egg, and all the eight-eyed giant spider's corpses on the ground turned to ashes.

"Let Helena learn it. Luna glanced at Allen's staff, which had collected a lot of souls, on the side, "There's still enough soul energy. ”

"It's not a big problem, this ability of a female ghost is actually very practical for Helena. Alan touched his chin and said, "Although she is a disembodied ghost now, once she studies Peeves in the future, and allows Helena to have entity-like perception and can touch moving objects, then she may also have a weakness." For example, chewing gum can be stuffed into Peeves' nostrils, and they can be enchanted just like humans - such as locktongues and throats. As far as Helena is concerned, she is in a ghost state, and there is little she can do to hurt her except for the basilisk, but if she has an entity... Although none of these methods will cause real harm to her, I don't want our daughter to be bullied and punished by a gifted student or professor like Peeves....then a terrible cry like a female ghost can be a means for her to protect herself...... If they don't fully exert their power, it will be enough to make them faint like they heard a juvenile mandrake. ”

Luna's wandering gaze swirled over the female ghost, who had nothing special to study other than a howl of terror.

"Speaking of Peeves, I'm going to get it back. Seeing Luna's nod, Alan immediately stepped into a shadow in the room, and then emerged from a shadow in Hogwarts Castle.

It wasn't difficult for Alan to find out where Peeves was, and with a quarter of Hogwarts ownership, he was able to easily get his whereabouts through ghosts and portraits.

The mischievous man was hiding not far from Filch's office, holding a big dung egg in his hand, which Filch passed by every day on his rounds, waiting for an opportunity to throw it at Filch who passed by. Peeves has fallen in love with smashing eggs since the last time he hit several wizards in the Special Operations Investigation Team with a big poop egg, but with no young wizards to play with him during the summer vacation, he has his eye on Filch, which makes Administrator Filch hate him even more.

Seeing Eren appear in the hallway, Peeves' first instinct was to shrink behind the chandelier, curl up behind the chandelier, and hide. He expected and prayed that the wizard he feared would leave soon, but it backfired, and Peeves watched as Eren got closer and closer to him......

"Peeves. Alan stood still under the side of the chandelier, as if he could see Peeves through the chandelier, in fact, Alan had already locked Peeves' location with his own perception after entering the room, "I need you to help me." ”

Despite its unruly behavior, Peeves is quiet for a while in front of those it fears, such as Dumbledore and Barrow the Blood, and since the end of last semester, it has had to count Eren in front of him at this time.

"Professor Harris, we're here to help. Reluctantly, Peeves flew down from the chandelier, looking like a small man with evil black eyes and a large mouth, often dressed in brightly colored fancy dresses, like today, with a hat full of bells and an orange bow tie.

Alan looked at Peeves' constantly writhing legs, and felt a little funny, Peeves belongs to the "naughty trickster", which is derived from the German name, literally "poltergeist", in fact, it is not just noisy, naughty tricksters can fly, and can be invisible at will, like to sabotage, pranks, make the living angry and embarrassed. He can unscrew a chandelier, write curses on a blackboard, throw a balloon filled with water at someone, throw a cane at a crowd, plug keyholes with chewing gum, etc., all with the ability to touch objects that Alan wants Helena to have.

"Peeves, take me by the hand. Allen's words were in a tone that could not be denied.

"What for?" Peeves muttered, but at the sight of Alan's calm expression, it choked up at once, and did not dare to say more, reluctantly putting its little hand on Alan's.

"I'll take you back to my house to have fun. Eren smiled at Peeves, who felt bad, and before leaving, told the surrounding portraits to inform the other portraits not to tell anyone about himself and Peeves, and then returned to the tower's confinement chamber with Peeves.

Peeves looked much more depressed as soon as Alan took him out of Hogwarts, and in the confinement room in the tower, he was thrown into the pentagram by Alan, and Peeves, who had faded a little, looked at this strange place in horror, and the horror in his heart was more than ever.

Eren kept cleaning the hand that had just been put on by Peeves with a spell next to him, smelling the smell of his own hand and complaining with some annoyance: "Peeves just wanted to attack Filch, and he grabbed a big dung egg with his bare hands and didn't tell me... But it weakened immediately after leaving Hogwarts, is that okay?"

"Peeves have been living in Hogwarts Castle for a short time since we founded Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. To be precise, he was "born with the whole building" and emerged here as an institution for a large number of children, a psychological energy rather than the mark of the dead. The ghosts of Hogwarts all admit that Peeves are not one of them. Some wizard theorists generally believe that mischievous is a spirit caused by the subconscious behavior, especially the subconscious behavior of the oppressed. Hogwarts students have been under pressure for thousands of years, and it's no surprise that Peeves is the result of being a spirit who is now so weak because he left Hogwarts. Luna recalled her memories of Peeves, "But don't worry, Godric was also targeted by him and was provoked and expelled from Hogwarts, but when he was weakened enough to disappear completely, Peeves will reappear in Hogwarts and try to prank Godric even more, so we'll just catch him again when the time comes." ”

Alan nodded, he caught Peeves back for experiments until he really wanted to cause him to disappear completely, after all, unlike female ghosts, Peeves belonged to a part of Hogwarts - although Luna's words reminded Alan of the "great achievements" recorded in the school history about Peeves.

The worst accident occurred in 1876, when the administrator at the time, Rankros Calpe, devised an elaborate trap to drive Peeves out of the castle. The trap consisted of a variety of Muggle weapons used as bait, and a large bell jar with various containment charms cast. When Peeves is in place, the bell will fall down to catch the mischievous trickster. But everything didn't go as planned. Peeves easily blew open the bell jar and left with a few scimitars, a few crossbows, a large-caliber breech gun, and a small cannon. Peeves began shooting for fun, and while the professor and the upperclassmen had enough protective spells to protect themselves, the lives of the juniors were threatened. As a result, Hogwarts Castle had to be evacuated for three days. Three days later, Professor Eprathea Moore, then the Rector at the time, agreed to make a deal with Peeves to hand over his weapons in exchange for more privileges—to swim once a week in the boys' bathroom on the first floor, to give preference to moldy bread in the kitchen for littering, and to receive a new hat that Mrs. Bonabiller had made for him. This was one of the most disastrous attempts to get rid of Peeves. The incident also forced Mr. Calpe to take early retirement "for health reasons".

Later, while Alan and Luna were conducting various research and experiments on the Peeves imprisoned in the circle, at the same time, Voldemort's Death Eaters also left England by various means, even disguised as their most hated Muggles, and dispersed abroad using the Confusion Charm.

"Lockhart, put away your smile, you've got the security officer's attention. Rabastan Lestrange slapped Gilderoy Lockhart on the head, knocking off the other party's blue yarkeki hat to the ground, and Gilderoy Lockhart, who was wearing a blue suit, did not dare to resist, nor did he dare to smile at the blonde French female security officer, lowered his head and silently picked up the hat.

"Tomorrow, when the kidnapping is over, it's up to you to put the finishing touches on the wizards you witness. Rabastan Lestrange remembered his brother's mantra and deliberately imitated the threat, "If you ruin your master's plan, I'll burn you." ”
