Nicholas de Mimcy Popington was once a knight, but that was during his lifetime. Now he's a Hogwarts ghost.

He was a court wizard during his lifetime and was later beheaded by the royal family for making some mistakes. Sadly, the axe used for decapitation was not sharp enough, and the resistance of the wizard was unusual, and it took several axes to kill him completely. And there is a layer of skin between his head and neck, causing him to have a head that has not completely fallen off in a ghostly state. As a result, the ghosts of Hogwarts call him Nick the Near-Headless.

That night, Nicholas had just enjoyed a "delicious" meal at the ghost cafeteria and was wandering around the castle, hoping to find a few new little wizards to scare them. It has to be said that scaring the new students is one of the few pleasures that these ghosts have.

At this moment, a ghost with black hair and black eyes floated in front of him, dressed in a simple white robe, not like a wizard, but like a walker in an exotic land. Although his face was a little pale, it could be vaguely seen from the shape of his face that he was not Caucasian.

"I don't think I've seen you." Nicholas asked. "New here?"

The black-haired and black-eyed ghost nodded and said, "I come from an ancient civilization in the East, and I loved to travel the world when I was alive, and I still maintain this habit after I die. ”

Nicholas's eyes widened: "There is still such a thing!" As far as I know, ghosts can only live where they walk, how do you travel the world? ”

The black-haired ghost paused for a moment, and said with an unchanged face: "My footprints in my life were almost all over the world, and after becoming a ghost, I only revisited the places I once visited. ”

Nicholas said: "I see, the world is really big. Welcome to Hogwarts! My name is Nicholas de Mimcy Boltington, and you can call me Sir Nicholas. ”

The brunette smiled rather strangely, "Hello, Sir Nicholas. I have an English name, Stephen Strange, and you can call me Dr. Strange. Strange）。 ”

……

This ghost with black hair and black eyes is naturally Xiwen, who accidentally used his out-of-body soul again after being reborn, only to find that the appearance of his soul did not follow his body into the appearance of little Rozier, but still maintained the appearance of the Kama Taj when he was in Kama.

At that time, Xiwen wanted to secretly use the out-of-body calligraphy method at home to save time for studying, however, after the soul was separated, he found that he actually retained the soul that had traveled through the multiverse, and his image had not changed at all!

When it comes to the traverser's biggest secret, he doesn't dare to divulge this matter to others at all!

Shewin hid the spirit for ten years, until he saw a ghost floating through the castle before the sorting ceremony, and he suddenly had a brilliant idea.

So, he gave himself the name Stephen Strange rather wickedly, which was the name of an interesting newcomer before he left Kama Taj, and used this name to arrange an identity for his soul.

……

"Are you a doctor?" Nicholas asked curiously.

"Oh no, I'm a doctor. It's an academic term for Muggles. Xiwen explained, and as he thought about it, he added. I seem to be a doctor too, well, you should be a doctor. ”

"Looks?" The corners of Nicholas's mouth twitched, but because many ghosts often can't remember what happened in their lives, the fact that they are not sure about their profession can probably be understood... bar.

"Okay, Dr. Strange. Do you need me to show you around Hogwarts Castle? Nicholas was still very enthusiastic and said.

"My pleasure." Xiwen bowed gracefully.

Nicholas takes Xiwen on a tour of the castle and introduces the life of the ghosts here.

"Hogwarts always welcomes ghosts from all over the world, and of course, only ghosts who have been to Hogwarts live here. We have formed a strict ghost council to manage the ghosts in the castle ......"

Nicholas is undoubtedly a warm-hearted ghost, and he takes Sivin to get a general understanding of the environment of Hogwarts Castle and the many ghostly natives who live there. He also specifically warned Xiwen that he usually did not enter the classrooms where the students attend classes and the professors' offices, as this will affect their studies and work.

The two of them walked through another wall and saw a stocky ghost dressed as a religious clergyman.

"Good evening, Nick. Who is this? He looked at Xiwen curiously.

"Good evening, monk. This is Dr. Strange, who has just arrived at Hogwarts with a passion for travelling the world. Nicholas introduced Friar to Shevan, and then turned to face him.

"This is the fat friar, and he's a good old man."

Xiwen greeted the fat friar in a friendly way: "Nice to meet you, Mr. monk. ”

A big smile appeared on the fat friar's round face, "Ah, I'm glad to meet you, Dr. Strange. You can just call me Fat Friar. ”

The three apparitions chatted happily, with Siwen wanting to learn about the history and environment of Hogwarts with Nicholas and the Monk, and the two native apparitions were very interested in what Shevan called his experience of traveling the world.

Fortunately, Xiwen once used the portal to travel around the world to find a solution to his illness, so that he would not be completely defeated.

Suddenly, Xiwen felt himself smashed, and a half-rotten slipper slipped through his head and fell to the ground.

He looked back and saw a small ghost with evil black eyes and a large mouth, wearing a pointed hat with blue and white stripes and many bells, a red star pullover, and an orange bow tie, grinning at himself in mid-air.

"Look what I saw, a new ghost!" As he spoke, he smashed the other slipper over as well.

"Oh, don't do that, Peeves!" The fat friar said with some annoyance.

Nicholas angrily shouted at Peeves, "I'm going to call Barrow, Peeves!" ”

Dodging the slippers lightly, Xiwen asked curiously, "Is this also the ghost of Hogwarts, how can he touch the real thing?" ”

"Peeves are pranksters, to be exact, but they do fall under the control of our Ghost Council." The monk explained. "Actually, he doesn't have a bad heart, he just likes to play pranks."

Nicholas interrupted the fat friar, "Alright monk, stop being used to Peeves, look what he's done!" ”

At this time, Peeves took out a bunch of rotten eggs out of nowhere and threw them over, singing a nasty song as he threw them:

Dasha monkey from the East

Said to come to the castle brigade for a tour

He was unfamiliar with the place

can only be a big stupid monkey

The corners of Xiwen's eyes twitched and avoided the rotten eggs, "The singing is quite rhyming......"

He looked at the monk and Nicholas and asked, "Can I teach him a little lesson?" ”

Without waiting for the fat friar to speak, Nicholas nodded without hesitation and said, "If you can, be sure to teach him a big lesson!" ”

…… It seems that Peeves is quite unpopular, Xiwen thought to himself.

He looked directly at Peeves, a glint in his eye.

Peeves was smiling happily when he suddenly felt that the scene in front of him had changed, and the place he was in was no longer a Hogwarts castle, but a bottomless abyss.

You know, he's never left Hogwarts since he's been born as a mischievous, and Peeves is already panicking at the moment.

Very suddenly, he began to fall towards the abyss, and the light and shadow in front of him changed rapidly, from an infinite macrocosm to an infinitely small microcosm, as if the entire universe was struggling to submerge him!

Falling, then stopping, before he could recover, Peeves felt his body begin to split, split into countless parts, and then countless parts of his body smashed into the very center of his torso, smashing him into a crazy ......

"Bang!"

From the perspective of Nicholas and the Fat Friar, Peeves suddenly stopped in the air as if frozen, and half a minute later suddenly fell rapidly downward and smashed to the floor.

Peeves struggled to lift his head from the floor, and when he saw that he was back to the castle, he screamed and staggered away from Xiwen's eyes.

It's comfortable. Xiwen showed a smile, he had long wanted to try the spell that the teacher used to scare the little junior brother, but he didn't expect to find an opportunity when he came to this world.

The fat friar glanced at Xiwen with a complicated face: "How did you do it?" ”

The mischievous smile on Xiwen's face froze slightly, coughed dryly, and then said seriously: "I am not a ghost formed by normal death, in order to travel the world, I cast a spell and actively abandoned my cumbersome body, thus becoming a special ghost, so I still retain a certain spiritual spell casting ability." I just cast an illusion on Peeves. Well, yes, that's it! ”

"There is still such an operation!" Nicholas exclaimed, with a look of insight. "It seems that in the future, besides Barrow the Bloody, there will be one more ghost that Peeves is afraid of."
