Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

But...but everyone is still a little afraid of you...especially when you use this ability in front of them again.

Hehe... they are all a bunch of people who are afraid of death... even after they die, they are still afraid of death..."

Having said this, the fat monk's eyes unconsciously became a little more dim and confused.

ps: The Immortal Binding Spell: A spell invented by Sherlock Holmes when he was a student. At first, he wanted to imitate the Eastern artifact, the Immortal Binding Spell, to create a magic prop.

After failing, he gained inspiration from the Patronus Charm and the upgraded version of the Luminous Charm, the Light of Righteousness Charm. He added positive emotions to the summoning technique in the advanced transfiguration technique and finally summoned a rope that could bind spirits.

During his time at school, the effectiveness of this spell was verified on Peeves many times, although it could only bind Peeves and last only for one day.

According to an unknown ghost, this rope is aimed at ghosts (Peeves is not a ghost, but a poltergeist, not a spirit) and can cause harm.

After graduation, Professor Holmes obtained the Thunderbolt Elder Wand, so he upgraded the spell to include not only positive emotions but also lightning.

The professor once used this spell to deal with an evil spirit somewhere abroad. The results showed that the upgraded spell can cause certain damage to some special spirits and last longer.

Chapter 71 Peeves' Repelling Charm

The fat monk's voice was not loud, but many ghosts still heard what he said.

Some of the ghosts had sadness in their eyes.

Douglas sighed. He didn't know how to comfort the other person. Humans and ghosts are different.

He couldn't even give the other person a basic hug.

Douglas turned around and said to Peeves, who was tied up in a ball and still wailing:

"Peeves, I remember I told you that you are not allowed to touch my personal things in the kitchen!"

Peeves said stubbornly:

"I don't!

That's something we don't want!

Stinky stuff!

Under the agreement, I can...”

Douglas snorted coldly:

"Humph! That's the stinky tofu marinade I painstakingly brewed to make a delicious dish...

All the elves in the kitchen know that I take time out every day to use magic to catalyze...

I was almost done, but you messed me up, and all my efforts went to waste...

Now he's deliberately splashing it on my office door...

Don't forget, I'm a professor at Hogwarts!

Not a student!"

Douglas's last words were addressed to the ghosts around him.

Peeves bullying students is completely different from provoking professors.

Peeves said cunningly:

“I didn’t mean to do that!

I'm targeting those two brats...

You violated the agreement and attacked me...

I'm going to find the head professor to sue you..."

Filch roared:

"Professor Holmes, don't believe his nonsense!

Hurry up and use the Peeves Repellent Charm..."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone (ghosts) looked at Filch.

The ghosts glared at Filch, and the whole castle suddenly became noisy, filled with the ghosts' roars:

"Shut up! You bastard!"

Then the ghosts looked at Douglas cautiously again, and many of them even had a bit of pleading in their eyes, as if they were afraid that Douglas would agree to them.

Facing the roars and anger of hundreds of ghosts, Filch felt the temperature around him drop.

The stinky water dripping from my body seemed to be showing signs of freezing.

The Weasley twins, who had been hiding under the sheets and watching the show, couldn't help but shudder.

They dared not make any sound, for fear of attracting the professor's attention and being chased away.

After all, it's rare to hear such a big piece of news.

They had been curious about the story between the professor and Peeves.

Now I have discovered something even more incredible, it seems that the Hogwarts ghosts are also hostile to the professors.

No wonder some students asked the ghosts about Professor Holmes at school.

The ghosts always cleverly changed the subject or took the opportunity to leave, and everyone thought that the ghosts did not want to talk about the professors behind their backs.

At this moment, the Weasley twins felt that being detained in Professor Holmes' office was much more interesting than a night out.

Look what we heard:

Peeves and the Professor have a non-provoking agreement...

The Immortal Binding Rope Curse... This is simply amazing, it can tie Peeves into a peach shape...

There is also the Peeves Repellent Charm... wow, this is the first time I've heard of it, but it seems so powerful!

Douglas looked at Filch speechlessly. "You did that on purpose!" he asked. "You're really afraid the ghosts will forget that."

He looked at Peeves again:

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect Peeves to use his brain and actually figure out how to exploit loopholes in the protocol!

Not intentionally, actively provoking...

That is, as long as you don’t do it on purpose, it’s not considered a provocation!

Look at your wonderful explanation!"

Peeves said with a hint of pride:

"Anyway, I didn't violate the agreement. Look, the contract didn't backfire on me..."

Douglas said with disdain in his eyes:

"Peeves, I'm afraid you didn't read the agreement carefully.

It read, '...while a student at the school, do not initiate conflict with Peeves, and do not give or sell the Peeves Repellent Charm or other similar products or spells to others...'

I regret to inform you that the agreement has expired the moment I graduated."

It took Peeves an unknown amount of time to come up with this clever trick, but he had already thought of it when he first wrote the contract.

Even Dumbledore, the maker and guarantor of the contract, did not think there was anything wrong with the content.

Peeves was stunned for a moment, then wailed in pain:

"Devil... liar..."

The Weasley twins were stunned when they heard the news. They suddenly felt so bad about themselves. We were all students together, so why were you so awesome?

Compared to Peeves's anger, the ghosts were the most panicked.

The invalidation of the agreement means that the Peeves Charm is likely to appear in Hogwarts again.

To Peeves, the talisman was just a trap.

But for the ghosts, it causes real damage.

Why do the ghosts dislike Douglas so much?

It was because he invented something that could directly harm ghosts without the need for powerful black magic.

Douglas originally made a lot of Peeves Charms and sold them on campus.

At first, the students bought it just to resist the bullying of Peeves.

But one day, a man with a brilliant idea threw the Peeves Charm at Myrtle.

This resulted in Myrtle being trapped in mid-air in the corridor outside the toilet, wailing and crying the whole time.

That day, the students of Hogwarts seemed to have discovered a new world, which led to...

Many ghosts at Hogwarts have suffered varying degrees of damage.

The reason why the principal finally came forward to ban this kind of spell was that

I don’t know who was so smart as to cast the spell on the Professor of History of Magic.

This caused the transparency of Professor Binns, the ghost who had served Hogwarts for a thousand years, to drop by half.

For this reason, the History of Magic course was suspended for a month for the first time in history due to Professor Binns' personal reasons.

Headmaster Dumbledore personally came forward and found Douglas and strictly forbade him to sell such things that could harm ghosts.

Douglas agreed immediately and proposed to sign a peace treaty with Peeves.

From then on, the ghosts in the school developed a fear of Douglas who could hurt them, and this fear gradually evolved into hatred.

In the words of Sir Nicholas, ghosts are a group of people who are afraid of death and do not have the courage to continue moving forward. They transform into marks of the real world and choose this most impoverished way to continue their existence...

(Not all ghosts become ghosts out of fear of death. Those who can become ghosts were wizards in their lifetime and they can choose whether to become ghosts. Some remain for other reasons.)

Suddenly one day, ordinary wizards can hurt ghosts, so they naturally feel panic and fear...

The time Douglas was in school was the most uncomfortable time for the ghosts.

I finally waited until he graduated...

But unexpectedly, three years later, Douglas came back again.

They could only pretend not to know each other and not to have seen each other, planning to spend the year in silence.

Until today, they found that the other party used the power that could hurt them again at school.

And tell them that the previous agreement has expired.

Although it was not directed at them, it still made them feel uneasy and panicked.

Many ghosts have begun to feel that Hogwarts is unsafe and are considering leaving Hogwarts to hide for a year and then coming back.

But they were also full of confusion. Where else could they go except Hogwarts?

The twins looked at each other from under the sheets.

“What a talent!”

"Senior!"

"Peeves made him limp!"

"Our failures are nothing!"

Suddenly, George asked in a low voice:

"Fred, do you think the school rule about not throwing spells at ghosts has something to do with the professor?"

"George, look at those ghosts. They're just about to write this school rule on their faces and have the professor read it word for word!"

Douglas clearly felt that the temperature in Hogwarts had dropped a lot due to the influence of the ghost.

He said helplessly to the fat monk, and to all the ghosts:

"Sir, I am a professor at Hogwarts and a part of Hogwarts.

I promise you as a Hogwarts professor,

The talismans I made will never appear among the students, including professors.

And I promise you that during my tenure I will not unleash this spell on any ghost other than Peeves.

You know, it was just an accident..."
