Peeves didn't respond to Luke's words in the first place. Instead, he began to think about why his secret base was so secretive.

No one has been to this place for hundreds of years!

Then, it saw behind Luke, the elegant little cat licking its paws.

Booker seemed to notice its gaze, rolled his eyes at it, and continued to lick his paws.

Peeves knows the cat.

Since the beginning of the school year, he has often seen the cat in all corners of the castle. Especially in the corners where there are more girls, it is almost always there.

And the girls also fed it a little snack from time to time. It didn't even have to give a good look, just eating would make the girls smile contentedly. There are some male wizards who are also among the feeding ranks. At first, Peeves thought that the cat had been left at school by some student. Without the owner's feeding, he can only beg for food by himself.

So Uncle Peeves is still very 'caring' and 'playing' with this kitten a few times.

The ghost doesn't even know that this damn cat is actually little Slytherin's eyeliner!

Damn, what a descendant of the old monkey! I actually thought of using an inconspicuous cat to make my own eyeliner. Although not like snakes that can communicate directly, cats can make people let their guard down more than snakes.

This kid is really terrifying, he even calculates ghosts!

Luke looked at Peeves' sad and angry expression, a little unclear, although he subconsciously felt that he had misunderstood something, but judging from the reaction, it was not necessarily a bad thing, so he was wrong.

"It's hard work to find you. Why are you avoiding me? ”

This sentence is ambiguous, and how to understand it depends on what the other party thinks.

Obviously, judging by Peeves' slightly frustrated expression, he clearly thought that Luke had found this place because he had been prepared. As everyone knows, Luke found this place completely hugging his cat's thigh.

"What else? Doesn't your current posture explain why I'm avoiding you? ”

Knowing that he had been caught, Peeves simply turned over and lay in the air, crossed Erlang's legs, put his hands behind his head, and said listlessly.

"Put that wand away. I'm not running. ”

He glanced at the wand in Luke's hand, shook his head and sighed, "Uncle Peeves is true to his word, since he lost hide and seek, he won't run." ”

If Luke was the main character in that kind of anime, maybe he would believe it.

But although he doesn't know much about Peeves, no matter which characteristic he knows, it has nothing to do with the words 'keep his word'.

While the wand won't have any lethal effects on him, it does seem to be going to make him suffer.

"Tell me first, why the hell are you avoiding me?"

Luke had time, and he didn't care about asking Peeves to answer the question again. At least one less perfunctory answer should be heard.

Truth be told, he didn't have much effect threatening Peeves here. Unless he took matters into his own hands using the spell Voldemort had given him, he didn't think he was going to do anything particularly bad to Peeves.

Peeves can quickly slip away after just a hit, and after that, he will be endlessly caught up in the process of fighting his wits with Peeves. It's a big loss.

I don't know what Peeves thinks though. But there should be this reason for that, in general. After all, playing with a group of people who have no way to cause harm to themselves, and playing with someone who can cause harm to themselves. He definitely prefers the former.

Seeing that Luke was unrelenting, he could only say a little helplessly: "Because the old monkey family, ah, you Gunt family people are not fun." One by one, their heads are always full of ideas. Even small children have their own ambitions. ”

He looked at Luke with almost disdain: "No matter how gentle and kind you are, these people are the building blocks you use to achieve your ideals. ”

"I want to be the strongest wizard, I want to pursue the truth of magic, I want to make the most money, I want to rule the whole world."

"The people of the Gaunt family have everything, but none of them are safe and ready to live."

"Even if it's a waste that doesn't have the ability, it's always trying to pounce twice to see if it can make any waves. It's really not surprising that your family will decay. After all, geniuses are always in the minority. ”

Luke was silent, feeling unresponsive to his words.

"You said before, what is Gryffindor's talent?" He asked coldly.

Pieves looked at him faintly, then suddenly laughed, "I suddenly thought you were interesting." Tell me, little ghost, were you born to Slytherin and Gryffindor? ”

"The flames are blazing."

An orange-red flaming arrow shot out from the tip of the staff and struck the wall behind Peeves.

Peeves fell silent. Look at the wand he was holding, and the cold face.

"If you're willing to see my cold side, Peeves, I can show you that too." Luke put away his guard, relaxed, clutched his wand, and pointed at Peeves.

"If you don't want to be my friend and like to jump around in front of me, then you can only be my enemy."

"The next spell, I've practiced a few times on disobedient snakes, and on dark wizards who want to come to my forest and attack me. But it is not known how effective it is on the ghost's body. ”

Before Luke could finish speaking, Booker on the ground suddenly jumped onto a table on the side, and then jumped up from the platform and landed on Luke's shoulder. Then he looked at Peeves with blazing eyes, as if he was giving him a boost.

It can be seen that this kind of joke involving other people's ancestors is not funny. Especially in pure-blood families where inheritance is important. They grew up listening to the great legends of their ancestors. The reputation of the ancestors is one of the elements that constitute the bottom line for them.

Luke's kindness and gentleness, only to his friends. Or a useful pawn. The former will be possessed forever without betrayal, and the latter will be given a temporary experience. Until the last value is squeezed dry. Of course, Luke won't unload and kill donkeys.

Maybe Peeves has a point. The bloodline of the Gaunt family allows them to always pursue greatness and glory. Unconsciously made them a little cold and crazy. As for how to balance ideals and life, Luke is not clear, but he is looking for it step by step.

At least he didn't want himself to be a slave to ambition and ideals.

Peeves was silent for a long time, then said, "You misunderstood, I didn't mean to insult Slytherin...... His last research was about the fusion of bloodlines. Gryffindor and his bloodline fusion experiments should have been conducted, but I don't know the results. ”

"It may have failed, or it may have succeeded."

"Your existence may be a coincidence, or it may be a foreshadowing buried thousands of years ago."

"A kid with Slytherin's talent for 'snake language' and Gryffindor's talent for 'emotional control'."
