Chapter 16: The Ghosts of Hogwarts

There are white ghosts everywhere that can pass through a guy's body if you don't pay attention.

"Be careful not to pass through someone's body. Ron said nervously, avoiding a ghost.

As soon as he finished speaking, Draco pushed him towards some ghost.

Oh! He's going through!

The ghost flew away in panic, and Ron looked at Draco in exasperation and scolded, "Bastard, how can you do that? Do you know it's rude?"

"Really?" Draco said disapprovingly, "I'll say I'm sorry to that ghost." ”

"Bastard!" Ron growled under his breath, "You should apologize to me!"

"Hmph!" Draco looked up and said proudly, "Don't even think about it!"

They walked slowly around the edge of the dance arena, past a group of sullen nuns, a male ghost in ragged chains, and a fat friar.

Zhang Hao knew a lot of ghosts, and he also saw a Hufflepuff ghost.

This ghost has a cheerful and lively temperament, and even death cannot change his optimistic spirit.

He was talking to a knight with an arrow stuck in his head, and they seemed to be talking happily.

There is also the bloody man Barrow, this is Zhang Hao's old acquaintance. He was scrawny, his eyes straight, and his body was stained with the marks of war.

Everywhere he went, all the ghosts would make a big chunk.

Throughout Hogwarts, Peeves' most feared ghost is Barrow the Bloody.

"Oh! Oops!" Hermione suddenly stopped, she hid behind Zhang Hao and said, "Turn around! I don't want to talk to the crying myrtle. ”

She dragged everyone back the way they came, and finally avoided the crying myrtle.

"Who's the weeping myrtle?" asked Harry curiously, "why are you avoiding her?"

"She stayed in one of the toilets in the women's restroom on the second floor. Hermione explained, "That toilet broke down all year round because she kept throwing tantrums and spilling water everywhere. As long as I can avoid it, I try not to go there. You go to the toilet and he screams at you, it's horrible!"

Zhang Hao was also a little speechless, these ghosts are too individual.

Hiding in the toilet? What kind of quirk is this?

From this point of view, the ghost does not seem to be a continuation of life.

As long as there is a little bit of humanity, who wants to hide in the toilet?

That's a toilet!

Looking at what the ghosts are eating, it makes people panic when they look at it.

At the other end of the basement is a long table that is also covered with black velvet.

Harry and Ron were happily rushing to the table, but before they could reach the table, their hearts were already half cold.

Zhang Hao followed behind them and smelled a pungent smell.

Large chunks of rotten meat were placed on fine silver plates, black, charred cakes were piled up in large trays, and there were plenty of worm-covered lamb tripes, green-haired cheeses......

The most surprising thing is that there is also a huge gray cake in the shape of a tombstone in the center of the table.

At first glance, this cake is not made of serious materials, and the living must not be able to swallow it.

And in the blank space on the cake, there is a text spelled out with tar-like frosting:

Sir Nicholas de Mimci-Boltington

He died on October 31, 1492

Everyone was dumbfounded, but Zhang Hao was thoughtful.

Sir Nick died in 1492, some time after Adelson succeeded the Headmaster, and they may have known each other.

In other words, Principal Adelson can be learned from the side through Sir Nick.

Zhang Hao thought to himself, maybe he should find a chance to talk to Sir Nick.

At that moment, a fat ghost approached the table, and he crouched down and walked straight through the middle of the table.

During the whole process, his mouth opened wide and passed through a stinking salmon.

Harry asked curiously, "Can you taste it if you walk through it like this?"

"Almost!" the ghost said sadly, and then turned away.

"I guess they let the food rot to make it smell stronger. Hermione said insightfully. She covered her nose and leaned forward to take a closer look at the rotting meat belly.

"Maybe letting the food rot isn't about making it taste stronger. Zhang Hao said with emotion: "Everything has spirituality, and food is made by the corpses of all things." The cooking of the living is intended to allow people to absorb as much life as possible from the carcass. The ghosts cook the opposite, they need dead air from corpses. The more rotten these foods are, the more dead they become. In fact, this can also be related to Muggle technology. Perhaps, a ghost is a kind of energy body left behind after death. ”

At this point, Zhang Hao has fully confirmed that the ghost is not a continuation of life at all.

But the reason for their birth is still hidden in the fog.

The friends were ignorant, and they couldn't understand the truth in Zhang Hao's words.

"Let's go!" Ron said with a wrinkled nose, "I'm sick!"

Before they could leave, a short male ghost suddenly emerged from under the table and stopped in mid-air in front of them.

"Hello, Peeves?" said Harry cautiously, "Can you stop suing in the future?"

It was clear that Harry had been scared by Peeves.

Peeves loves to play pranks, and everyone knows that he is a special ghost. It seems that in his ghost life, there is no sadness, no sadness, no unhappiness......

Except for the prank, nothing negative can be found in him.

And his image is also different from other ghosts, he is not pale and transparent.

On the contrary, he wears a bright orange-red evening hat, a swirling bow tie, and a grinning grin on his broad, nasty face.

After saying a word, the little bastard summoned the weeping myrtle.

He framed Hermione for speaking ill of Myrtle, and Zhang Hao had long expected him to do so.

Myrtle was already very melancholy, and when she heard someone say bad things about her, tears immediately fell from her little transparent eyes.

The hateful Peeves still doesn't spare poor Myrtle, and he chases after her and laughs at her, and the two leave the party one after the other.

Next, the Headless Horseman Club is here.

Sir Nick's face turned ugly, he had always wanted to join the Headless Horseman's Club, but Sir Patrick had refused to agree.

Oh, the purpose of his invitation to Harry was to get Harry to intercede for him.

Unfortunately, this has not had a substantial effect.

The friends played for a while in the ghost party, they felt cold and hungry, and if they didn't leave, they might sleep in the underground classroom.

"Let's go!" Zhang Hao said in a low voice: "If we don't leave, we may be unlucky in the future!"
