Chapter 17: Ghosts and Spirits
The dinner is still going on, and the ghosts of Hogwarts join the feast. They kept popping up in front of the freshmen, trying to startle them.
A ghost with a wheel-like wrinkled collar floated up to Harley, watched Harley cut the steak, and said sadly, "It looks so good." ”
"You're spirit creatures?" Harley looked at the pearly white, translucent ghost in front of her and asked subconsciously.
"Spiritual creatures? What is it, is that what Muggles call us? The ghost frowned, then introduced himself,
"I am the ghost, Sir Nicholas de Mimci-Boltington, the resident ghost of Gryffindor Tower.
You can just call me Sir Nicholas. With that, the ghost straightened his collar.
Harley remembered that while waiting in that room in front of the sorting house, it seemed that some freshmen had indeed shouted the word "ghost".
However, she closed her eyes at the time, and she didn't make too much noise in the accident world.
Harley immediately became interested in the ghost, put down the knife and fork in his hand, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and began to talk to Sir Nicholas:
"Dear Sir Nicholas, may I ask you a few questions?"
"Absolutely!" Sir Nicholas replied happily, "Boy, ask whatever you want!" As long as I know, I can tell you!
You're such a likable little wizard. Other little wizards only call me Nick or call me by my nickname, and don't like to talk to me. ”
"That's unfortunate." Harley sighed casually, pulled out her notebook and Muggle pen, and then began to ask,
"Sir Nicholas, how did you become a ghost ...... spirit?"
"Oh, that's a long topic." Nick seems to want to go on a tirade, starting with his own birth.
However, Harley simply stopped the conversation: "Sir Nicholas, I don't think the dinner is long enough. If the topic is too long, we'll have to talk about it at another time. ”
Nick seemed disappointed, but could only choose to make a long story short: "Okay, I'll get straight to the point." Wizards can leave a mark on this world.
And when they die, if they are afraid of death, they can choose to become ghosts and continue to walk where they once lived and left their mark.
If you choose to become a ghost in this way, you can only live as a ghost forever, and you can no longer continue to embark on the journey after death.
Of course, if it is a person who dies unnaturally, and there are still very strong emotions before death, especially resentment, it is also possible to form a ghost.
And they still have the opportunity to continue to choose to go on, but they need to meet certain opportunities. ”
"What was the trigger?" Harley quickly took notes as she asked new questions.
"I don't know." Nick shook his head, "Not many people have explored this question, after all, there are so few such ghosts. ”
Harley nodded thoughtfully, and after learning a lot of information, she ended the conversation and expressed her gratitude to Nick.
By this time, the dinner had come to an end, and the staples and desserts on the table had disappeared.
Professor Dumbledore stood up, made a few precautions, and asked everyone to sing the school song together before going to bed.
However, the singing is really indescribable, and the distance between the two ocean singers is still two miles away from the courtyard hat.
The fifth-year prefects began to take the new students back to their dormitories.
The entrance to the Gryffindor dormitory is located in a hallway on the eighth floor. In the hallway there is a portrait of a very rich woman in pink.
According to Prefect Percy, the entrance to the Gryffindor Tower is behind this portrait, and the "Fat Lady" on the portrait is the Gryffindor guard.
Only by giving the correct command to the fat lady can you enter the Gryffindor Tower.
Upon entering the Gryffindor Tower, there is the Gryffindor common room. Normally, Gryffindor students can choose to study here.
After a brief introduction, Percy led the girls into a door, which was the girls' dormitory.
Percy didn't follow, though, and just stood outside the door. The rest of the work was done by a female prefect who had a very non-existent presence.
Holding a roll of parchment, she pointed out her bed to the freshmen.
Hallie shares a bedroom with Hermione, who impressed her on the train, and shared them with Parvati Patil and Lavender Brown.
Hallie's luggage was already at the bedside. After the roommates briefly introduced themselves, Harley quickly tidied up the bedding and set up the tent.
After washing, Harley ignored Hermione, who was still chattering, and quickly lay down on the bed, performing a simple quiet ritual to block out Hermione's voice.
It was getting late, and Harley lay in bed, thinking about what she had seen today, especially the ghosts.
After all, ghosts exist in an almost spirit-like form, but they can't interfere with reality, and they are slightly different from spirits.
Does this prove that there is a spiritual world or a spiritual place in this world?
Harley is very curious right now, and especially wants to perform a small ritual to let her spirit body go directly into the spirit realm.
But Harley wasn't so reckless. With Hallie's current strength, she didn't dare to enter directly.
In case the spirit realm of this world is as dangerous as the spirit realm of the sequence path world, then Harley may be obliterated by some behemoth at any time after entering.
Forcibly suppressing her curiosity, Harley chose to go to bed quickly, saving herself from going to a certain ritual because she couldn't stop her curiosity.
……
In the principal's office, the sorting hat is forcibly pulling the principal to talk awkwardly.
"Albus, Harry's little girl is so interesting." The Sorting Hat was saying with great interest,
"It's been a long time since I've seen someone who can fit into three houses at the same time, and the last one like this was more than ten years ago."
"Indeed," Dumbledore looked at Transfiguration Today in his hand without looking up, "that was a gifted child, wasn't it?"
And there are a lot of secrets hidden in it. But I don't think she even knows the secrets she carries. ”
"yes, a good boy indeed. It would be better if I wasn't so disgusted. With that, the Sorting Hat simulated a sobbing sound.
"I was going to put that kid in Slytherin, after all, that kid was a better fit for Slytherin.
But you have to ask me to put her in Gryffindor. ”
At this point, there was even a hint of resentment in the Sorting Hat's voice.
"Don't blame me, old man." Dumbledore flipped the page of Transfiguration Today and replied casually,
"When I went to pick her up, I cared so much about what the kid said to me.
If I'm not mistaken, the fact that the child described was that some of Tom's traits were attached to her.
Now those traits have been ruined for some reason, or they have merged with Harley.
So now she has mastered a lot of special magic, and it is a bit evil in nature, biased towards black magic.
I had to make sure that Hallie was in an environment full of courage and love, and that the child grew up healthy.
This is my duty as a principal, and it is also my obligation as an elder to atone for the mistakes I have made.
It was my mistake to use the wrong person to cause the death of Harley's parents. ”
