Chapter 155: A New Clue

So in order to allow Voldemort or his Death Eaters to come to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to steal the Philosopher's Stone, they can experience an informative adventure.

Lilith decided to find a time to build a very interesting monster as soon as possible to act as a level keeper to protect the Philosopher's Stone.

"Trolls are too imbecile, why don't you get a ptarmigan? No, the Thunderbird is too big and it's not easy to raise ......."

"Jiaoren... Vampire Bat..."

For a moment, Lilith was a little confused, but she still thought of a suitable monster.

The person who wants the Philosopher's Stone is Lord Voldemort.

For this evil wizard, Lilith, as a saint, knows his character very well.

He has always been cautious, he will not sneak into Hogwarts to steal the Philosopher's Stone, he will definitely send his men, the Death Eaters, to steal it.

Most of his Death Eaters were English wizards, and some never left England in their lives.

Lilith decides to get a magical creature from South America and disgust the Death Eaters.

As for the three little ones in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", it is not for her to consider.

Lilith had been a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts for more than two months, and she didn't think that the three little ones were capable of sabotaging Voldemort's plot like she did.

Although she was looking forward to seeing this happen, Lilith judged the strength of the three of them at the moment, and they simply did not have the ability to break through the level set by the professors.

How to say it, the strength of the three Harry made Lilith a little disappointed.

In contrast, Arthur is the only one in Hogwarts who thinks she can easily beat the Philosopher's Stone level.

"Ahh

"Did someone say bad things about me?"

Arthur, who had just walked into the library, couldn't help but sneeze before he could sit down.

In the wizarding world, wizards encounter anomalous signs for a reason. A wizard in good health does not sneeze for no reason.

It's like Voldemort putting a spell on his name, which he can sense whenever someone says his name. Empathetic cause and effect.

"Forget it, it's better to write."

The goblin's custom text, "The Lord of the Rings", Arthur has completed fifty percent. And in the second Holy Grail War of the Magician, Arthur only wrote the beginning, and the second Twilight did not move a word.

In half a month, it's Christmas.

Arthur's editor in the Muggle world, Aunt Teresa, had already urged him three times to give her the first draft if not a week before Christmas.

Arthur's new book doesn't have a chance to be published before Christmas, and it can't be in bookstores during Christmas.

Christmas is the biggest holiday in Europe, and more than 90% of people take the holidays. And this period is also the peak season for the sale of various goods.

How could the publishing house that worked with Arthur miss this opportunity.

So, the pressure is now on Arthur's side, and he has to finish three books in a week.

"Looks like I'm going to need a magic quill pen."

The pencil in his hand was too old to hold, and Arthur sighed.

The magic quill is a quill that can automatically sense the owner's thoughts and write the content on paper.

This quill is a must-have for all journalists. But it's expensive, the ordinary one costs 60 gold gallons, and the better quality breaks through to 100 gold gallons.

So Arthur was faced with such a valuable quill, and he was never willing to buy it.

After all, children from poor families don't deserve such extravagant magical items. Arthur, in particular, also owes a huge foreign debt.

But now things are different, and with his handwriting speed, he can't finish three books in a week.

Even if there was enough time, his body couldn't bear it. Don't forget, he's only a 12-year-old kid now, and when he's growing up, if his arms are tired

degree, there is a high probability of damage to the wrist and finger joints.

So, buying a magic quill was a top priority for Arthur.

......

"How? Did you find Myrtle?" Peeves looked at the four students in front of him and asked excitedly.

In the entire Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the only ghost he can bully is Myrtle. Without myrtle these days, Peeves has lost a bit of fun, and even the idea of playing pranks on students is gone.

The Wesley Twins and Cedric looked at each other, eventually setting their sights on Arthur.

Arthur looked at Peeves with expectant eyes and sighed, "I'm sorry, we only made sure Myrtle was still in the castle, but we couldn't find her."

"Oh, that's terrible. I helped her with her prank, so why did she keep avoiding me?"

Peeves hugged his head and cried.

That afternoon, he apparently followed Myrtle's instructions and brought a Gryffindor student to the bathroom. also followed Myrtle's follow-up instructions to go out for her, but when he returned to the bathroom again, not only the student left, but even Myrtle disappeared.

Peeves had asked the student named Hermione if he had ever met Myrtle, but he was disappointed to get a reply.

"Huh? You said the last time you saw Myrtle, you played a prank with her? Can you tell us what your prank is?"

Peeves' unintentional words instantly made Arthur suspicious, perhaps Myrtle's disappearance had something to do with Peeves' pranks. He immediately asks Peeves what their prank was.

"Well, it's just a normal prank." Peeves' eyes dodged, and he touched his head weakly, not daring to say what happened that day.

Of the four men standing in front of him, two of them were Gryffindors. Especially since these two are also pranksters, if they know that they have kidnapped a Gryffindor student and put him in the bathroom. They will definitely take revenge on themselves.

"Peeves, if you don't say it. Then we really can't help you. Think about it, is it your prank that matters, or is myrtle important. Maybe she's in trouble because of your pranks, and she's now locked up in a dark cage."

"If you don't tell us, what happened that day. Myrtle probably missed this chance to save her. You will become a sinner, an accomplice in the murder of ghosts. If you let the other ghosts know about it, imagine what they will do to you in the future."

Arthur is slow and reasonable, but every sentence is heartfelt.

Peeves, as Arthur had expected, began to look unusually ugly.

"No! No way! That prank was just an ordinary prank. The students I kidnapped are fine now."

The reason for being too nervous, Peeves directly said that he leaked his mouth.

"Kidnapping students? Who did you kidnap?! Tell me! Otherwise we won't help you. And I'll tell Headmaster Dumbledore about it, and you should know better than we know what he does with you."

Arthur didn't expect Peeves' prank to be so big that he dared to kidnap the students.

If he weren't Peeves, a ghost who swore to stay at Hogwarts when it was invaded by Voldemort, a loyal ghost. Arthur was eager to subdue him and hand him over to Headmaster Dumbledore.

"It's just a joke. It's to get a student in the bathroom, and then wait for her to wake up and let Myrtle scare her. As I told you, Myrtle doesn't like to go out of the bathroom. That's why most of the students at Hogwarts don't know her, especially the new students, and none of them know about her existence."

Peeves was afraid that Arthur and the four would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained in a panic.

"So, you grabbed a first-year student, knocked her unconscious, and put her in the bathroom. Ready to wait for her to wake up and let Myrtle play the role of a ghost to scare her? But in this prank, Myrtle never appeared again, right?"

Arthur went by

reasoning, said to Peeves.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Peeves nodded hurriedly.

"Then you can tell me who that student really is. Myrtle's disappearance must have something to do with her. Haven't you thought of this logic?"

Arthur asked, rubbing his temples, annoyed. For Peeves's dishonest performance, he was very helpless in his heart.

If Peeves had told him about it before, would he have searched like a headless fly, without any clues?

"She... She was a first-year Gryffindor, Hermione Granger... I've asked her before. She said he didn't see the myrtle in the bathroom."

Peeves looked at Arthur with a serious look on his face, and finally honestly said Hermione's name.

"What? How dare you kidnap our Gryffindor students. Peeves, you've eaten the leopard's gall!"

When George and Fred heard this, they glared angrily at Peeves.

"No, no, no, it's not kidnapping, it's just trying to scare her. During that time, a bunch of little wizards harassed us and annoyed us a lot. I figured that only I could access the entity, so I wanted Myrtle to dress up as a female ghost to scare them. But the first student I met at the time was Hermione Granger. So..."

"I really didn't mean to, if I had run into students from other houses, I would have done this prank. It's really not against Gryffindor."

Peeves hurriedly explained to the Wesley Twins, and at the same time thought to himself that if he had met a Slytherin student in the first place, he would not have played a prank on the Slytherin student if he had met ten dares.

Compare the bloody Barrow, who is the ghost of Slytherin. And Peeves' most feared ghost is Barrow the Bloodyman.

Everyone is equal on the lips, but they are treated differently in their hearts. Of course, Peeves doesn't say what is in his heart.

"Don't argue yet. Peeves, our Holy Grail War game is up to you, the ghost, to agree, if you agree to become a servant in the game. Our games will be made very quickly. When the time comes, there will be no more students harassing your ghosts."

"We'll continue to help you find it. But you must now agree to our terms."

Arthur said commandingly to Peeves.

"No, we agreed to do so. As long as you find Myrtle, I will agree to be your servant of that game." Peeves retorted.

"But that's no longer the case." Arthur smiled mysteriously.

"What?" Peeves looked at the malicious smile on Arthur's face. I felt a faint uneasiness in my heart, and I couldn't help but take a few steps back.

When George and Fred heard Arthur's words, they looked at each other and smiled sheepishly. Only the honest Cedric is like a naïve child, and it is not clear why they are suddenly so confident that Peeves agrees to become a servant of the Holy Grail War Game.

"You say, we're going to tell Headmaster Dumbledore about your kidnapping of a student, what will he do to you? Or tell Barrow the Bloody about your kidnapping of the students?"

Arthur pursed his lips and said with a wicked smile.

"Oh, Merlin's beard! Why are you doing this to me?"

When Peeves heard this, he immediately held his head in his hands in annoyance and flew wildly in the air.

As a ghost who had existed at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for hundreds of years, he knew very well what he would be punished if the headmaster Dumbledore learned about it. I also know how many times the Bloody Barrow knew about it, and his soul would be destroyed.

Hermione Granger wasn't a Slytherin student, but Barrow the Bloody hated Peeves' pranks. He would rather let Headmaster Dumbledore know about it than for Barrot the Bloody to know that he had kidnapped a student for a prank.

"So, are you okay?"

"I agree, I agree."

Peeves nodded, frustrating why he had to tell others what he was doing, and it didn't take retribution.

"Very well, then... George, Fred, Pippi

I'll leave the hell to you. I'm going to go to Hermione now and ask her exactly what she was seeing."

It's Wednesday afternoon, and after two more lessons, Slytherin and Gryffindor are about to take flying lessons together.

It just so happened that Arthur didn't need to look for Hermione alone, and asked her about what happened in the bathroom that day during the class, to see if she knew the reason for Myrtle's disappearance.

"Okay, Peeves will leave it to us."

"Don't worry, Arthur. We'll definitely finish Valhalla's production tonight."

George and Fred patted their chests and smiled confidently at Arthur.

"My Potions class is about to begin. I'm scared, too, and if I'm late, Professor Snape will go crazy."

Seeing this, Cedric on the side also spoke.

Arthur and Cedric walked out of the bathroom together, and when they reached the magic staircase, the two separated.

......

"Well, the Imperius Curse is worthy of the three unforgivable curses, as long as you give up your conscience, you will learn it as soon as you learn it. But if you have a good heart, it will be very difficult to learn."

In a mysterious secret passage, Myrtle looked at the spider who had been robbed of her soul and sighed.

Then she looked at Hermione in the cage of the void in her mind, and said disdainfully, "Give up, you can't learn the Imperius Curse."

"Humph!" Hermione snorted coldly, ignoring Myrtle.

Ever since seeing Myrtle's introduction to the effects of the Imperius Curse, as well as how spells are chanted and cast, Hermione's sixth sense tells her that once she learns the spell, she has a good chance of reclaiming her body from the clutches of evil spirits.

"The last two sessions of the afternoon are flying lessons, and this is the perfect time for me to cast the Imperius Curse on Arthur.... Hee-hee~"
