"The spirit faints!"

A blue light struck Peeves at him at such speed that by the time Peeves reacted, he had already passed out, floating down like a weightless feather.

Brie reached out to probe, but couldn't touch Peeves' body.

"What if you use the soul detention spell that you used to make soul portraits?"

Brie was a little moved, he didn't like Peeves, but he didn't have a deep hatred for Peeves, not to mention that Peeves had an accident, and everyone at Hogwarts knew that it was abnormal for this guy not to cause trouble for a day.

"It's good to use just a little magic." Hopefully this won't cause Peeves to dissipate.

"Soul Detention!"

As a blue light gushed from the tip of Brie's spell, the Soul Trap took effect on Peeves, and Brie could feel that he could detain some of Peeves' soul power if he wanted to.

"If you lose some soul power, you shouldn't die again, right?"

With Brie's chuckle like a breeze, a small cloud of Peeve's soul power enveloped in his magic and left Peeves' body and entered his wand.

Mithril has the effect of suppressing souls and is the nemesis of souls.

Looking at Peeves, who had become a little more transparent, Brie chanted the incantation: "Wake up!" ”

"Oh, what did you do to me!" Peeves snapped his eyes open and jumped into the air, groping his body.

Brie said with a smile.

"You're fine, but if you don't obey, I'll put you to sleep forever, lose a trace of your soul, and leave this world unconsciously."

After Brie finished speaking, he didn't care about Peeves' fear, and walked towards the corner tower, he wanted to quickly study this soul power.

In the corner tower, Verle was sitting on a bronze lampholder, and did not speak happily until Brie came in.

"Oh, you don't know I'm bored to death."

Verr is very nervous today, because Christmas is coming soon, and it is an annual holiday that requires the exchange of gifts.

Brie laughed, "You should keep a sense of anticipation. ”

After saying that, Brie released part of the soul power of Peeves in the wand, it was like a small Peeves, and it was a lot cuter, only the size of a thumb, but it seemed to be very reluctant, very dependent on Brie's magic, and it was constantly devouring and growing.

The fluctuations in this growth were faint and Brie didn't even notice it.

"This is the soul?" Van stared at the Peeves, as if he remembered something, and suddenly said with a shocked face: "You can't study soul alchemy!" ”

Soul alchemy, Ver only knew about its existence, and the owner of the corner tower used this alchemy to make its soul and body into thinking alchemy products.

"It's horrible, it's horrible." Verr hid under the lampholder in fear, trembling constantly, and the thought of the process of being made was like being wrapped in darkness, deprived of light and freedom.

Brie grabbed Verr's cold bronze serpent body and placed it in his arms.

"It's fine."

"The Flame Continues..."

After casting the spell, the temperature slowly appeared on Verl's body, and it finally calmed down.

Ver Snake said with a sad face: "Pay attention to the safety Brie, whether it is magic or alchemy related to the soul, it is dangerous, I know that you will eventually study it, but before this you have to calm down..."

Brie put back the fact that he was about to comfort Verr, saying that he had not studied soul alchemy.

"I'll promise you, I won't set foot without enough certainty."

Whale's assurances are a sigh of relief, and Valent understands that Bree is a guy who loves to tell the "truth", and that his promises, while full of loopholes, will also abide by the most superficial parts.

Turning its gaze to Peeves, Vel regained his usual liveliness, and tried to touch it lightly, but couldn't.

"What are you going to do with it, it looks like it's unconscious, and the unconscious soul will dissipate quickly."

Verr was still in Brie's hand, and it had little interest in the funny-looking little Peeves, and if it hadn't been staring at Brie, it would have just wanted to hide now.

"You should know Verr, I didn't find a soul alchemy book here." Brie teased Will's nervous look, he didn't explicitly say that he made the decision on the fly, just to try to see what the spell of detaining souls looked like.

"It seems a little weird, not like a normal soul." Verr stared at Peeves carefully, and Brie nodded.

"Peeves is a ghost of Hogwarts, I heard that Hogwarts appeared at the beginning of its existence, maybe it has something to do with Hogwarts, but it's not particularly close."

Brie guessed that if Peeves was the embodiment of Hogwarts, it would be impossible to play tricks on the little wizard.

"The real Peeves are still in the castle, and without this soul power, it will be fine." At that time, Peeves looked a little weaker, but at this time, the little Peeves did not have a tendency to dissipate his soul, but with Brie's natural magic becoming more and more condensed, and his dull pupils also had a glimmer of light.

"Brie, it's awake!"

"W-where is this?" Peeves wakes up in a trance, speaking in a milky, weak voice.

Brie and Verle glanced at each other, and Verl was a little embarrassed, putting aside the snake's head, how did he know that natural magic could be used like this.

"Can you give me more?"

Peeves looked at Brie pitifully, pleading.

"What?" Brie realized something, and he said, "Is it this magic?" ”

Peeves nodded hurriedly, letting its transparent body flicker

"I'm sorry." Brie immediately severed the already small magical connection, causing Peeves' face to turn terrified.

"No, I don't want to disappear......" Peeves looked like he was about to cry, which made Brie a little unbearable, but magic power is not mana, it can be restored with use, it is more like the amount of power used, the threshold will decrease with the increase of will, Brie doesn't want to consume the total amount of mana.

"Please."

Verr listened to it with a disturbing heart, but he was also moved, and when it needed Brie's magic in the first place, Brie was ready to transmit it without even thinking about it; But what Verr didn't know was that Brie didn't want this natural magic at the time, and later because he could use his magic to cast a spell to help Very, Brie also lost the burden of helping it.

"Don't worry, I'll help you, as long as I can do it."

Brie couldn't use the natural magic in his body to help Peeves, he thought of the unicorn soul he saw in the Forbidden Forest meditation, and the natural magic in the environment was attracted by the unicorn's soul at that time, if it weren't for the fact that those magic powers were not manipulated by Brie, but left with the unicorn's soul, Brie really wanted to study it slowly.

This was an opportunity.

Brie closed his eyes, and his consciousness rose into the air as he meditated, and looked indifferently at the little Peeves who were still pleading in a panic, and the little Peeves did have natural magic around him, but those were in the environment, and they did not flock to the little Peeves' soul.

Brie tries to use his consciousness to mobilize the magic in the environment, but although these magic powers are intimate with him, they don't understand his commands, and just rush indiscriminately, but this also allows Peeves to absorb some of the natural magic in the environment.

It wasn't until the surrounding natural magic was attracted by Brie, forming a whirlpool of magic visible to the naked eye, that the little Peeves condensed like a normal Peeves, even if it was still losing soul power, it could ensure that it would not disappear for the time being.

Brie's consciousness stopped being intimate with the natural forces in the environment, and they quickly dissipated away, Brie wanted to try to absorb these magical powers, but they didn't have much to integrate into Brie's body, and Brie couldn't accept much, and these magic powers would continue to dissipate, just like the little Peeves, who couldn't completely get these free little guys.

Consciousness returned to her body, and Brie looked at Peeves, curious about its state.

"Are you Peeves?"

"Peeves?" When the little Peeves heard Brie's words, he was excited, and his eyes sparkled, "Is this the name you chose for me, my lord?" ”

"You'll be called Peeves in the future, this will sound better."

Although it is not known what the addition of the word "small" represents, Peeves is happy to accept it, and it is clear that it has no memory, as if it has just been born.

Maybe Peeves Jr. is a special case, Brie thought, who allowed Peeves to be a spirit and touch real objects at will, which is not at all in line with the general understanding of spirits in wizards.

At the end of the experiment, Brie was thinking about what to do with the little Peeves.

"Verr, do you need a playmate?"

Hearing this, Verre nodded reservedly.

"Well, I'll just reluctantly accept a little brother and help you watch it."

It was clear that little Verr was satisfied.

The rest of the day was full of brieze, as Brie had prepared a list of gifts to give on Christmas Day, and received gifts in the mail from Diagon Alley in the evening.

For this reason, Brie specially loaned three strong owls, and there were not many people staying at school at Christmas, and the communal owls were sufficient.

"It's Cedric's, it's Hermione's ......"

Brie gave a gift to his recognized friends, some one-sided friends, every professor except Quirrell, and Wood, who had two favors with Brie, if it weren't for Brie's poverty, he even wanted to give Wood a new broom, but unfortunately he was shy in his pocket, and only gave a broom maintenance set of eighteen gold Galleons.

"I'm going to have to find a time and a way out to sell the unicorn's wool." Brie has a whole unicorn hair with magical power waiting to be realized, but because the unicorn matter has not passed this year, Brie is not a fool, he will not make a move at this time and let Dumbledore find out about him.

Categorizing the gifts, Brie asked the owls to bring the gifts to the presenters according to the date.

For the next two days, Brie was looking for an opportunity to enter the forbidden area on the fourth floor, and it was not until Christmas Eve that Snape, who had been keeping an eye on the forbidden area on the fourth floor, left Hogwarts, as if Snape received an invitation from the owner of the potion shop after going to Dumbledore's office.

And Brie can finally act, taking advantage of the fact that Snape and Quirrell are not in the academy, go to the forbidden area, this time there is no accident!
