Chapter 110: The War Between Two Women
Both Dumbledore and Severus, as well as the other professors with a little brain, knew that Peeves couldn't do that.
Peeves is a spirit of snarking, a mischievous spirit, and what he does is nothing more than some pranks, such as throwing things, hiding things, blocking roads, etc., and the most exaggerated thing he has ever done is probably to break the disappearing cabinet in "The Chamber of Secrets".
While it's strange why Peeves was able to carry such a heavy vanishing cabinet, it is possible that he was able to perform some simple magic, such as some auxiliary pranks.
But with such a high level of magic, don't even think about it.
So obviously, Peeves was used as a gun, and it is estimated that in Peeves's concept, he still thought that what he was doing was a prank!
Severus guessed that it was something of dark magic, and Dumbledore apparently thought of it.
With Peeves' style, there is a great possibility of revenge if the other ghosts refuse to attend the dinner party, so it's normal to throw things here.
And now, apparently he himself has been affected, so no matter what Dumbledore asks, he just keeps repeating those few words, which is basically useless to solve the problem.
Dumbledore had to think of other options, such as getting the ghosts back to normal first.
"Severus, do you have a way to get the ghosts back to normal?" Dumbledore didn't ask the three professors, McGonagall, Flitwick, and Sprout, and it was clear to Dumbledore what they were capable of.
Of course, Dumbledore didn't ask Charles. Professor Singleman, this one is not free from suspicion.
Then there is only Severus, and in Dumbledore's impression, Severus is still very reliable.
Although Severus may not be as good as Dumbledore in terms of prohibition and some other auxiliary abilities, he is still very strong in spells, especially dark magic, and coupled with the level of potions, many spells cannot solve or are difficult to solve, and the use of potions can always achieve immediate results.
"Sure, but it's going to take some time, and I'm going to have some potions." Severus said calmly, this confidence is still there, but the ghost's potion is different from that of normal wizards, and this can only be prepared temporarily.
No one would prepare a potion for a ghost in advance!
"How long will it take?" Professor McGonagall immediately asked.
"At least two weeks!"
"Then, in the meantime, please search the school first and find as many similar dark magic items as possible." Dumbledore immediately made arrangements, "Also, please inform the students that you must be aware of some strange, dark magic objects, and report them as soon as you find them." ”
"So, Headmaster Dumbledore, can I repay the Ministry of Magic?" Obviously, Professor Singleman, who had achieved his goal, was a little overjoyed, didn't he notice the coldness in Dumbledore's eyes?
If you take your life for the sake of the Ministry of Magic, it's definitely not worth it.
And Dumbledore will definitely not do it himself, but judging from the professor who had the accident, the more serious ones who have trouble with Dumbledore often end up worse, so Dumbledore can sit back and wait for Singleman to be unlucky.
But Dumbledore is obviously not the kind of person to sit and wait, if Singleman is standing on the edge of the cliff, although Dumbledore will not directly push it, but he will loosen the stone on the side and watch you fall!
However, Severus no longer thought about it, and now the situation was that he had to hurry up and prepare the potion.
The students who returned to the lounge obviously didn't know what was going on, and the deans didn't explain in too much detail, just said that there were black magic objects in the school, and the students were asked to pay attention to safety and so on.
However, there are so many and common dark magic items that few students take the professors' warnings for granted.
In addition, the hastily ended Halloween party obviously did not satisfy them, and the energy in their cells was not released yet.
So, the next day, there was a sudden increase in pranks at school.
Due to the proximity of Quidditch matches, these pranks are often played against Quidditch players from various houses, especially Slytherin.
Severus alone has already encountered several pranks against Slytherin players.
As the Slytherin prefect and captain of the team, Gwen Jones did not dare to act alone, and she was often protected by three or five boys in the same grade.
Coupled with the fact that Gwen Jones and Cetina invited Severus to dance at the same time at the party, Cetina was nothing.
At this time, Gwen was said to be a woman with water-based poplars.
There is no way, those who follow her are indeed her admirers.
In other words, most of the Slytherin senior boys who are not in love yet have some thoughts about her, and even some of them are still in love.
As such, it would be difficult to find a few Flower Protectors who didn't have any idea about her, and Gwen didn't dare to let those who were clearly Death Eaters' backups protect her.
Now there is a bit of a split within Slytherin, one part is the pro-Severus faction dominated by Gwen Jones, most of these people are sixth-year students, and the other part is the Voldemort support faction led by Keynes Rozier, most of them are seventh-year students, and the male prefect Krus Guffey also led the rest of the people to choose neutrality, just like the tradition of the Gwen Jones family.
Although there are many people on Jones's side, their combat effectiveness is really not as good as that of Rozier's, let alone against the pranks of other colleges.
Fortunately, Gu Fei also knew that he was a prefect, so although he was neutral, he still helped a lot externally, while Rozier's side was basically a loner, did not mix with others, and made himself quite mysterious.
Therefore, on the first day, Gwen Jones suffered a lot, so when she came to Severus's confinement on time, the whole person was still a little embarrassed.
Severus didn't say much, as a Slytherin, pride is tradition, good face is also tradition, even if Gwen has a little affection for Severus, but this is not enough for Severus to reveal people's scars.
And Severus doesn't have this hobby, as long as it's not too much, what he holds is that you can figure it out on your own, and it's best to grow through setbacks or something.
Because Severus was going to study the ghosts, the materials needed for tomorrow's class would have to be handled by Gwen Jones.
That was the content of her confinement, and Severus didn't mean to release the water in the slightest.
Gwen is also in the sixth grade, and she has basically learned everything she should have learned, otherwise she may not be able to do well.
The entire office remained eerily quiet, with the sound of materials being processed on either side, one moment shivering, the next snapping, knowing that the door was being opened again.
This time it was Setina, the little girl originally looked quite happy, but as soon as she saw Gwen Jones here, her eyes immediately flashed red, which is very rare, if she didn't know something, Severus would have thought that her dual personality had been fused!
Then Gwen also looked up and saw Setina, and the two immediately looked at each other, full of swords and swords.
It's not a simple eye call, it's a war!
