Chapter 241 Active Peeves

Chapter 241 Active Peeves

Professor McGonagall looked at the thing in front of him with a puzzled look on his face.

Picking up the small statue on the table, she frowned and asked, "Where did you get the black magic item? It was dug out from your treasure house."

The statue of the little Gorgon in his hand is not common in the wizarding world.Instead, you will occasionally hear legends about the Gorgon in the Muggle world.If it weren't for the hidden black magic fluctuations on it.Professor McGonagall will also think that this is just a handicraft that Luke picked up from Muggles.

Professor McGonagall would not be surprised to find anything from the treasure house of Luke's family.

Even if Luke pulls out the Three Deathly Hallows, Professor McGonagall feels normal.

Luke didn't know what Professor McGonagall was thinking, he said: "No, this is something I bought from a shop in Diagon Alley. I want to check the origin of this thing. I guess there may be Some clues."

If there is no such thing in the restricted section of Hogwarts, then the origin of this thing will have to be found abroad.It's not about how powerful the statue is.The main reason is that the knowledge involved in this thing must be able to find clues.If you can't find it, then this thing is either showing up in the UK for the first time, or even in Europe.Or it involves some family secrets.

For things of unknown origin, go to the restricted area to look for them, maybe you can find clues.

After hearing Luke's words, Professor McGonagall frowned even tighter: "This is a black magic prop used in rituals. I know you have a sense of propriety. But pay attention... There are some books in the restricted area, needless to say, knowledge. They are dangerous in their own right.”

The book itself is also a kind of magic prop.

Especially the magic books of black wizards are not only the condensation of what they have learned and felt throughout their lives, but also their weapons, the 'gifts' they leave to future generations, and even their pursuit of longevity or truth. backhand.

The books in the non-restricted book area are naturally evaluated by previous principals and professors, and there are no dangerous books.

Even slightly dangerous books.For example, "Advanced Black Magic" that seals souls into books.The soul sealed into it is a little joke of the creator.It is also the protection of future generations.If there is no way to deal with that remnant soul, then it is better to stay away from high-level black magic.

And in the depths of the forbidden book area, there are really many very dangerous magic books.

There are spellbooks among them, and it's not just their contents that are dangerous.Books themselves are not something little wizards can deal with.

Professor McGonagall knew that Luke was definitely not going for those simple black magic after a little brainstorming.There were no clues to be found in the library of the Gaunt family.Professor McGonagall is really hard to say whether there is any danger in it.

"Don't worry, professor. I'll take care of it."

Luke had a serious expression on his face, without careless thoughts.

He knew very well that his intuition told him that the origin of this thing must not be simple.There might be clues to be found in the restricted section.

Intuition is also an important part of wizards' judgment.Many wizards are willing to trust their intuition, even when making decisions, they will restrain their rationality and trust their intuition. ...Professor McGonagall is a little uneasy.But still approved a note to Luke.

When she was about to give the note to Luke, she suddenly took it back, picked up the quill and started writing and drawing on it again.

"Go find the book and bring it to my office to read."

With that said, she handed the revised note to Luke, and said seriously: "With me here, even some dangerous books are fine."

This is the benefit of having a good relationship with the teacher to a certain extent.There are rules, there will be loopholes, it depends on whether you want to take advantage of it, or whether you can take advantage of it.If this is a normal student, Professor McGonagall must have sent him back directly.A little wizard who wants to enter the depths of the restricted area.That is to play with his own life!

The professors are very cautious about every approval note in the restricted area.Often, for a whole school year, the four colleges could not give out four notes for the restricted area.

And the one given to Luke now is naturally because Luke's strength is trustworthy.Of course, a good relationship is also a very important relationship.

Luke chuckled.Of course he would not be polite to Professor McGonagall, so he immediately put the note into his arms.

"I'll come to you when I find the book."

Professor McGonagall looked at his hippie smiling expression, and said angrily: "Go, go, go, a vacation, I didn't learn anything from following Dumbledore."

I have to say that Luke's hippie smile is really similar to Dumbledore's when he tried to "get away with it" in certain things.

She knew that Luke had spent the summer with Dumbledore.But I really didn't expect the two people to have such a deep influence on each other.

Obviously, the relationship between the two should be much better than what I thought at first.

Thinking of this, Professor McGonagall also breathed a sigh of relief.Last year, she was not a fool, she could see that Luke and Dumbledore were fighting secretly.

Now that the two of them can't wait for a pair of trousers, her understanding of their relationship has been completely subverted.

However, it is always a good thing.

After watching Luke leave, Professor McGonagall once again immersed himself in the road map in front of him.

"If you take this route, it will also make the fur move towards the metal texture? No...why did this little guy run on this diametrically opposed trajectory in this class???"

And this explosive expert who does not want to be named just wants to say: "Professor, you know nothing..."

Xueba will not understand the pain of learning scum.

........................

Luke, holding the note in his hand, looked extraordinarily relaxed.After all, although school has only started for two days, things are already on the right track.

But he was thinking as he walked.

Do you want to enter the secret room in advance?

Entering the secret room in advance, the biggest problem is that it is easy to scare the snake.

If Tom was startled, would he jump over the wall?It would be difficult for Luke to deal with the scourge that really let him let go.

"So we still have to find a magic spell that can protect Ginny's soul..." Luke was somewhat distressed.After all, this kind of magic is rare in the entire magic world.Not even Dumbledore.

When he went to the restricted area this time, besides looking for information related to the Gorgon statue, he also had a very important purpose of finding spells about souls.There is also a question mark in the restricted area for the magic spell to protect the soul.

"The little snake seems distressed. Would you like Peeves to help?"

A voice with a slight smile sounded in the air.

Luke looked up and saw Peeves' head hanging upside down from the ceiling, looking at him with a playful expression on his face.

Luke didn't like Peeves, but he didn't hate it either.He knew that Peeves knew a great deal about the mysteries of Hogwarts.Even the bloody Barrow, one of the students of Slytherin, and Ravenclaw's daughter, Mrs. Gray, the two ghosts, don't know as much about Hogwarts as Peeves.

While chatting with Dumbledore, Dumbledore speculated that Peeves is the emotional aggregate of Hogwarts.It is a special soul formed by the resistance, pranks and even malice of the students here.In essence, he is not a ghost.Not even of the soul.

But this was denied by Luke on the spot.And when Dumbledore asked Luke why, he said it was intuition.

In fact, Luke, who can feel emotions, knows that Peeves is not a collection of emotions.Not sure if Peeves is a ghost or not though.But he has absolutely nothing to do with emotions.

He is a real soul.

It's just that the way it was born is a mystery.

Luke looked at Peeves in front of him and asked, "Do you have a solution?"

"Of course, the great Lord Peeves can't do anything about such a trivial matter?!"

Peeves triumphantly emerged from the ceiling.But he still didn't straighten his body, but folded his hands behind his head, and floated upside down until his head was parallel to Luke's.

"So...what's the price?"

Luke asked in a bad tone, and stepped back a few steps.It's not because of anything else, but it reminds me of the movie I watched in my previous life, the classic scene in Spiderman.He always wondered if Peeves would kiss him the next moment.

Even though I knew it was crazy, I still felt a little sick.

Peeves looked at Luke's disgusted expression.

Are you serious about taking a half step back?

You are begging me to do something!

"Don't think too much, there is no such spell, I have my own way." Luke said calmly, as if he understood what Peeves was thinking.

Peeves sneered: "Then it doesn't matter. Excuse me. Then you go first."

If you say big things in front of Mr. Peeves, the child still doesn't know the sky... Hey, hey, he really left!

After hearing what Peeves said, Luke turned his head and left.Just kidding, he is really sure that he can accomplish his goal without hurting Ginny.

It is of course good to have such a spell, but it is not impossible to not have it.

He could still be threatened by Peeves today.

"No! You stop!"

Peeves' anxious voice sounded.Luke stopped in his tracks, and turned his head to look at Peeves, who was a little out of breath, with neither sadness nor joy on his face. ..."I'm telling you the truth, Peeves, don't say whether you want to use this spell to negotiate terms with me. Even if you give me this spell for nothing, I have to weigh whether I dare to use it or not."

Charms are not used casually.The spell that Voldemort taught Luke last semester, after consulting the information, found that it is a special black magic that is very powerful but can make people lose control of their emotions.

The people of Peeves... ghosts are definitely better than Voldemort... but they are limited.

Peeves looked at Luke who looked distrustful, and said with displeasure: "Are you kidding! I'm a ghost, and I can sell you a fake soul spell!"

His words didn't make Luke let his guard down.Luke still looked at him with calm eyes.

"Say something quickly. If you don't want to talk, I'll go back to eat and sleep." Luke glanced at his pocket watch, "We are people who never take the pressure to the next day."

"Give you a spell, you go and open that door!"

Peeves didn't talk about him either.Talking to someone like Luke is really saying more than one sentence.When he doesn't like you, his behavior is really annoying.

"not open."

Luke really turned his head away this time.What spell would be worth his risk!Even if you put the Elder Wand out for a deal Luke wouldn't take that risk.

He was not sure of his absolute safety in the little door of the Room of Requirement.So even if he is really curious, he will restrain his desire to explore.

Not to mention the door that gave him a deadly sense of danger that he found when he was fighting Peeves.

He has to leave his useful body to realize his ideals.

Before the pure blood became great again, he became a cat killed by curiosity.This is a real death before leaving the teacher.

He wouldn't do such a stupid business.

"You come back! You wait! Nothing will happen!"

Peeves looked at Luke's back without turning his head, almost scratching his ears and cheeks in a hurry.But he couldn't catch up.He felt that if he chased him now, Luke might attack him directly and force him to ask about the spell.

Though he's pretty sure he won't say it.But it seems that there is no need to suffer that good beating.

"Little snake that doesn't eat oil and salt."

Peeves said bitterly.

But there was nothing he could do with Luke.He could feel that Xiao Snake's fighting power was not a little bit stronger than last year.If he didn't hold himself down on the spot, he was already being cautious.

"Ugh--"

It seems that the task has to continue to wait for the opportunity.

Peeves felt a little helpless.

Luke didn't feel any regrets.At the end of his last school year, he was basically at peace with Pippi Ghost.Peeves didn't come to provoke him, and he didn't try to compete with Peeves.Because it's not good for him at all.

Peeves can get pleasure from the battle of wits, he only loses, loses precious energy and time.

Now Peeves comes to your door by himself, pretending that I have already set you a trap, you just jump in, and Peeves will fill in the pits. If he can believe Peeves' nonsense, he will be a ghost.

If you have the time to compete with this, you might as well think about whether it is better to open the secret room in advance.

So, after thinking about the time for a meal, Luke decided to go to the dormitory to get a good night's sleep.

No hurry no hurry.The basilisk is in a hurry, and it is actually the same reason for Peeves to take the initiative.

The less anxious Luke was, the more anxious they were.

Anyway, in Luke's plan, there is no place for them.With them, it would be icing on the cake at best.

At this time, it is wisest to wait and see what happens.

So, after a good night's sleep, Luke went straight to the restricted area after class the next day. .
