Chapter 227: Peeves Became

Previous Chapter

Maple spent a week in the hospital before finally being discharged, and then he and Hermione were suddenly reconciled again. Naturally, this aroused the curiosity of many young wizards, who gossiped no worse than Muggles, and all kinds of conjectures were spread all over the school, and it seemed that they were not much less interested in this matter than the second event of the Triwizard Tournament that had just ended.

And the most widely circulated is that Maple was honest after being abused by the family, as evidenced by Hermione's strength in the Triwizard Tournament and Maple inexplicably lying in the hospital for a week. After the gossip spread, for a while, everyone looked at Maple with strange eyes and sympathy.

I don't know if I didn't pay attention or didn't care too much, but Maple didn't pay much attention to it. He didn't have time to worry about that after that, because in addition to his normal classes, he had to spar Hermione.

If you were to rank the spells by fame, Animagus would definitely be at the top of the list of spells that young wizards are most passionate about, but the difficulty was too high. When Harry taught the Armor Charm and Disarming Charm later in the DA event, the other young wizards initially showed great contempt and disdain. After they graduate, the students who entered the Auror were taught a hard lesson by reality, and they might realize how useful these basic spells were.

How cool it is to be able to go back and forth between animals and people! It's just that Maple, who has mastered the Animagus, doesn't feel cool at all at the moment, and he spends his days screaming at the shack where he turns into a bat and spells Hermione.

It's cool to be an animal, but it's scary to be like Peter Pettigrew who lives as an animal all the time. But Maple now has to transform into a bat in his spare time outside of class, dodging all sorts of sparks that keep coming from below.

Yes, that's how Maple gave Hermione a spell and made her practice the spell on the spot. In a way, the gossip of other little wizards is not wrong, it's just that the domestic violence has not ended as they think, but has just begun.

It seems that Sirius had snitched his godson, and from the second night onwards, Harry and Ron had come to the Scream Shack at least once a day, and they had even taken their homework here to write.

It's just two unrighteous guys, not to mention Sirius, who wasn't a good bird when he was a student, but you, Lupin, why come to see my excitement?

Maple wanted to cry without tears.

Maple sometimes vaguely felt that there was a figure peeping in the dark, and Maple immediately thought of the figure of a half-moon glasses.

Probably the only one who can hide from his eyes here is Dumbledore, after all, this tunnel was dug up by him back then!

It's just not good to be your headmaster, and it's a little inappropriate to come and see my jokes!

Several times, it seemed as if Maple had heard the laughter that seemed to be a deliberate sound!

Although it was very pleasant to watch the scene of domestic violence every day, the situation of a bat dodging under various spells seemed to have left a big shadow on the hearts of Harry and Ron, so much so that both of them refused to practice Animagus after that, even with the help and guidance of their godfather.

In order to relieve Hermione's anger, Maple did not take the initiative to speak, but let Hermione have had enough of herself to end such a miserable life, and at this time his hard life has passed for two months. As the days went on, Maple almost forgot about the dangers that Trelawney had prophesied.

Fate is really an unpredictable thing, and Trelawney's daily predictions are regarded as liars by most people, and it is a trivial thing to be believed and verified, but the real prophecies she makes are unchangeable and part of fate.

Voldemort and the Heroes in the Storm are both guys who are obviously pitted by fate, if Voldemort hadn't heard half of Snape's predictions, would Voldemort still attack the Harrys? Voldemort's hearing the prophecy itself was a step in the fulfillment of the prophecy's fate?

Is fate really irreversible?

As a traverser, Maple originally thought it could, but now she wasn't so sure. It is true that the arrival of him and another unknown time-traveler has disrupted the existing trajectory of the world, but after the world adjusts itself, Trelawney predicts a new fate. Maple seems to be in the same predicament as Voldemort, his meddling is futile, and his blocking becomes a joke.

Maple has a reverence for fate, what if it were you?

Maple stared at the three unopened tricks in the card system...

The prophesied Hermione had an accident, and Harry was the one who was indispensable for Voldemort's resurrection, so what would they do?

Maple thought secretly, although it was difficult to change the outcome of fate, Maple felt that he should not do nothing, let fate develop, at least, it would be good to be able to open a corner of his enemy hidden in the darkness.

To improve the level of combat, in addition to practicing the accuracy of the spell, you should also pay more attention to defense. In the event that the Hyperarmor Charm does not protect against powerful spells, the battle between the two wizards is the same as the battle between two Muggles with a pistol. The ultimate winner of the battle is not only who has better marksmanship, but also who has the better ability to dodge.

Therefore, to ensure your safety, in addition to practicing the ability to cast spells, you must also practice the ability to dodge spells.

Since Hermione's participation in the competition could no longer be changed, Maple could only say his thoughts without reservation and improve Hermione's ability to fight as much as possible.

In addition to practicing dodging spells, Maple also mentions Patronus. In addition to protecting against dark magic such as Dementors and Spirits, the Patronus Charm can also transmit sounds. Since the Patronus is in touch with the unleashed wizard, it can be used for other purposes.

Maple knew that the third item was a labyrinth, and that shouldn't change much, and unseasoned wizards like them didn't have a keen sixth sense to warn them of attacks from behind or in the corners. However, if the Patronus can be practiced to the point where it can signal to the owner when danger is detected, then the Patronus can play the role of a warning.

Patronuses can fly in the air and can also penetrate walls, giving their master much help in terms of detection.

After receiving relief from Hermione, Maple finally had time to test his hypothesis about the Animagus, and the subject of the experiment was Peter Pettigrew. Naturally, Rita Skeeter's article annoyed Hermione, and soon, Peter Pettigrew had a sympathetic companion.

Harry, shouldn't they complain that they are really a couple, and now Maple and Hermione are a prisoner of Animagus, a man and a woman, and they happen to be a couple.

The cycle of the compound decoction configuration is very long, and Maple chooses to use ready-made ones. There are a lot of fake Moodys out there, but it's a bit of a hassle to hide from his magic eye. Although his magic eye can see through the cloak of invisibility, he should not be able to see the true form of Animagus, but there is no need to expose his Animagus abilities to this dangerous enemy in order to steal the Polyjuice Potion.

I don't know if Snape has any ready-made ones there, but after thinking about it, Maple finally chose to order them outside of school.

After getting the Polyjuice Potion, Maple immediately took Peter Pettigrew to the Room of Requirement for experimentation.

"I want a place to test potions!" After three mental meditations, Maple opened the door that appeared on the wall and entered the Room of Requirement.

"Ah, Hermione, what's wrong with you?" At first glance, Maple was taken aback at the sight of Hermione' suddenly appearing in front of him, and Maple, who didn't want to know what he was doing now, stammered a little. But he soon realized that something was wrong, because Hermione in front of him emitted a silver light, and her body seemed to be transparent, like a ghost.

"Quack, quack!" Seeing Maple startled, 'Hermione' burst out laughing. Hearing this familiar voice and remembering what had happened in this place, Maple immediately had a terrible thought-

"Peeves!"

Hermione laughed even more at the sight of Maple looking like a ghost, which undoubtedly confirmed that this guy was Peeves after merging with the Dementors.

It's still that familiar and funny character, and it seems that Peeves has the upper hand.

Although the Dementors devour happiness for food, at their core, they are evil spirits in pain and despair. Although they are different species, Peeves and Dementors are born in very similar ways. Dementors can drain people's happiness and turn them into a soul that only has negative emotions such as sadness and despair, but just like Dementors, who are naturally evil souls, Peeves are also naturally mischievous souls that cannot be changed.

Even if the sea withered and rotted, the Dementors would not become kind, Peeves would not be able to become evil, and Fahai would not know love. So the Dementor's kiss can't absorb Peeves.

On the other hand, although the emotions of the Dementors are strong when they are born, the process of Peeves being born is much longer. Like God's forbidden fruit, the more forbidden you are, the more you want to try to surpass it.

No action, just thinking, in the Muggle world it was nothing. If you don't break the law, you would assassinate the Prime Minister a thousand times in your dream and no one cares about you, but in the wizarding world, everything is different. Similar thoughts are thought of a thousand times and ten thousand times, and the strange and unpredictable magic of the wizarding world is unconsciously guided by emotions, and similar thoughts converge in one place, so there are Dementors and Peeves.

Peeves and Dementors are like a thousand-year-old demon and a new ghost, and the Dementors accumulate a powerful momentum in a short period of time by doing evil. It's just that no matter how aggressive it is, in the end, it can't withstand the thousand-year-old heritage of Peeves.

Peeves had the last laugh and was the ultimate winner. And the reason why Peeves were able to merge with Dementors was probably because they were also of the same kind in a sense.

It's just that after fusing the power of the Dementors, Peeves has changed dramatically.

Students, there are Gryffindors whose minds are full of adventure and excitement, and there are Slytherins who find it all very naïve. But it is a fact that cannot be ignored that the age of coming to Hogwarts to attend school is eleven years old, which is the age when there are a lot of ideas in the head but there is no self-control. There are very few students like the Weasley brothers who make a career out of breaking school rules, but it's hard to find honest students who don't have the slightest idea of violating school rules in their subconscious.

The reason why Peeves was born, and why Peeves is so naughty, is because at Hogwarts, the strongest thoughts of students of the age of bear children are all kinds of tricks.

Most of the students have the urge to violate the school rules on the one hand, and on the other hand, they feel that such thoughts are stimulating but not right.

Peeves looks ugly like a clown, which is probably the image of most students and those bad students in the teachers, what kind of children are bad children in school-

Students who don't follow the school rules!

Over the course of time, Peeves may have known how he was born, but perhaps that was why he spent more time bullying students than making trouble for professors.

But now things have changed, Peeves has fused with the power of Dementors, and he has the ability to absorb happy emotions again.

Although the naughty mind is strong, it can only be passively joined by the mind of each generation of students, while the ability of the Dementor can actively absorb the energy of happiness.

And this year coincided with the Triwizard Tournament, the year when the students were most unhappy, and Peeves quickly absorbed enough happy energy to compete with his mischievous thoughts. With the addition of these happy emotions, the magical component of Peeves' body is changed. After Soak Up the Happiness, Peeves finds himself able to change his image.

Naughty thoughts can make him have an image, and it is okay to be happy. Because unlike the Dementors, the Dementors can absorb pleasure, but the soul is cold. And the mischievous and absorbed pleasures in Peeves' soul are not opposites, but can be blended with each other.

In the same way, his appearance is not something that can change at will, but is determined by the emotions he absorbs. The images that made the students feel happy the most were the fire dragon, Krum, Hermione, Fleur, Harry, Bagman, and Cedric, but after the second project, Cedric's image quickly blurred.

Although Cedric still has a lot of popularity among Hufflepuffs, the happiness of Hufflepuff is that Cedric wins, and when he loses to Hermione, Peeves can't absorb enough Hufflepuff-linked happiness.

Although the dragon is the object of the students' most happy thoughts, Peeves does not want to become a dragon. Although he is not human, the thoughts in Peeves' heart are naturally brought in by human thoughts, and no matter how popular the fire dragon is, it is just a brute.

Although in the foreseeable future, Peeves's constant absorption of pleasure will inevitably overpower his original mischievousness, these pleasures cannot replace Peeves' mischievous thoughts.

No, Peeves has been waiting to surprise Maple with what he is today! Although Maple had a grace for Peeves, he could not have guessed what would happen beforehand, and he would not forget the fear and horror he felt when he was thrown into the Dementor's kiss by Maple.

If Maple knew how to read minds at the moment, he might have guessed that it might not have been Dumbledore who had been secretly watching his jokes, but-

Peeves!
