Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

The fat monk nodded and muttered:

"I know, I know, that's why I keep telling them, you never targeted the ghosts!"

Only Peeves was howling, "Why?"

What else can the other ghosts do after hearing what Douglas said? The initiative is in the hands of the other party.

Since the other party can guarantee it as a professor, I can only choose to believe him.

You can't force the other party to take a magic oath and forbid them to teach this spell to students!

Although they would love to do so...

Haha, but that’s not a saint!

It’s all Peeves’ fault. He knew he couldn’t win but still tried to provoke me. He deserves it!

At this time, a cold voice sounded from the stairs at the end of the corridor:

"Lock the tongue and seal the throat!"

A spell was cast at Peeves, and Peeves' wailing stopped abruptly in an instant.

The visitor sneered at Douglas with disdain:

"Professor Holmes, is this the result of your night patrols?

Hundreds of ghosts gathered?

It's even more lively than the night outings during your school days!"

ps: Peeves Repelling Charm: When Professor Holmes was in school, he created a rune that can target spirits based on the principles of ancient oriental talismans, using ancient runes and other positive spells. The effect can last for three days.

To use it, just throw the talisman at Peeves, and Peeves will be temporarily trapped in an invisible space for half an hour.

Because the front of the talisman had an image of Peeves being tied up, and after being attacked, Peeves repeatedly declared that he wanted to leave Hogwarts, this sad place, it was affectionately called the Peeves-Repelling Charm by his classmates.

On May 20, 1986, a classmate used the talisman on a ghost at school, ultimately forcing the ghost professor, Professor Binns, to suspend his classes. Later, despite opposition from the ghosts, a secret contract was signed, forcing the talisman to cease use at Hogwarts.

Only Mr. Filch still kept three expired charms, hoping to use them to scare off Peeves someday.

Speculations about why normal spells don't work on ghosts:

Because wizards have always regarded ghosts as part of the human race, and they cannot interfere too much with the real world.

So wizards never thought of studying the effects of ordinary spells on ghosts.

But some advanced black magic can cause harm to ghosts.

Reference: 1. Newt Scamander once pointed out in his book that ghosts objected to being classified as humans, believing that this carried a prejudice that they were "yesterday's news". Therefore, the Ministry of Magic separated them into a separate category and established the Ghost Office.

2. Professor Snape once recorded several black magic spells that can have effects on spirits in his textbook "Advanced Potion-Making".

Chapter 72 The Weasley Twins: Gossip or Life and Death

Douglas looked at Professor Snape as he approached.

He curled his lips and showed off, as if everyone could invent a magic spell to shut up.

But he soon noticed that the only people there were Professors Sprout and Snape.

He frowned slightly, wondering what big thing had happened that would cause the principal and vice principal to be away from school.

Otherwise, with such a big commotion, Dumbledore would have come long ago.

Professor Sprout ran over and subconsciously covered his nose.

"Douglas, what's going on, what are these?

Was it all Peeves's doing?

Fat Friar, why are all the ghosts here?"

Then, without waiting for anyone else to answer, she noticed Filch, who was standing there trembling but staring at Peeves with excitement.

"Oh my God, Argus, what's wrong with you? I suggest you go back and take a shower. This water smells really strange..."

And what is that?"

Two people who had been hiding under the sheets found that someone finally noticed them.

Suddenly I felt that it was not easy.

He quickly got out from under the sheets.

"Professor, it's us!"

"Professor, this wasn't us!"

"Yeah, George never fought back because they were in detention!"

"Professor, Fred has been avoiding them all the time because they don't want to lose points!"

Professor Sprout was surprised for a moment and said:

“Of course, I mean, good job!

Your confinement for today is over.

Please, Mr. Weasley, accompany Mr. Filch back to his room first.

Then go back to Gryffindor yourself!

It’s really a mess here!”

After saying that, he used magic to clean up the water stains on the ground.

George and Fred immediately refused and said:

"Professor, I don't think we can leave yet!"

"We're not done with lockdown content yet!"

"It was interrupted by Peeves!"

“We know the whole process!”

George and Fred didn't want to leave at this time.

They feel that this is the climax of the whole story, and if they leave, they will regret it for the rest of their lives.

Filch also refused with a strange smile:

"Of course, of course I'm not leaving. I want to take a good look at Peeves in this state and engrave it in my mind.

The last time I saw this scene was many years ago..."

Snape showed a bit of sneer on his face:

"The fight with Peeves caused a huge mess in front of the professor's office.

Mr. Weasley, I regret to inform you that 30 points will be deducted from each of you!

hehe! "

The red gem representing Gryffindor on the other side of the house cup fell down with a clatter.

The Weasley twins wailed in pain:

"No, Professor, it was Peeves who attacked us, and we didn't fight back at all!"

Douglas snorted coldly:

"When facing an opponent, one can remain calm and not act impulsively, thus avoiding more serious consequences.

Sixty points to Gryffindor, Mr. Weasley!"

The red gem representing Gryffindor in the House Cup flew back with a clatter.

The smile on Snape's face seemed even weirder:

"Oh~ Hehe,

As a Gryffindor, when encountering the enemy, he actually learned to escape and lost the courage of a Gryffindor.

Mr. Weasley has brought disgrace upon Gryffindor, twenty points deducted from each of them!"

The red gem representing Gryffindor on the other side of the house cup fell down again.

Douglas said calmly:

"When the enemy's fire was at its most severe, they remembered their teacher's teachings and remained firmly in their positions. This is also the courage of a Gryffindor.

Forty points to Gryffindor from Mr. Weasley!"

The red gem representing Gryffindor in the house cup flew back again with a clatter.

......

George and Fred were in great pain and they really regretted why they didn't leave.

You have to watch the annual drama. How can the professor's drama be so good? In the end, you will be the one to watch the drama.

The ghosts hid in various corners tacitly, or poked their heads out from the ceiling and walls to watch the show with great interest.

If it weren't for the ugly expressions of Bloody Baron and Sir Nicholas.

I guess some ghosts will place bets on whether Gryffindor will gain or lose points in the end.

The college cup hourglass next to the lobby also said something: What do you two think of me? I come in and out so often, and my number is getting less and less. Should I be deducted or added points? I am almost worn out by you (I am talking about the ruby).

Just when Professor Sprout was hesitating whether to step forward to stop the two people.

Filch screamed, attracting everyone's attention:

"Ah! Peeves!"

Then everyone's eyes turned to Peeves.

The rope on Peeves' body first became transparent, and then disappeared with a bang.

Then Peeves shouted cheerfully:

“Ah…it hurts so much…it feels so good…”

Then he quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Snape and Douglas looked at each other with both confusion and ridicule.

"Huh! That's it? It hasn't been long, and Peeves can already talk!"

"Haha, after such a short time, you still dare to call yourself the Peeves Nemesis. What qualifications do you have to be a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?"

Sprout seemed to see the spark in their eyes.

He frowned, then asked the fat monk to arrange for the ghosts to leave first.

Then he said to the Weasley brothers and Filch:

"You guys leave first!"

At this moment, the Weasley brothers wished that the professor would ask them to leave. Even if they wanted to watch a show, they had to see if they could afford the ticket.

They were afraid that if they stayed any longer, Professor McGonagall would see the hourglass in the house cup and kill them tomorrow.

Filch looked in the direction where Peeves disappeared, his face full of loss, and his wet hair made this moment as miserable as it could be.

Just as the Weasley twins started running, Snape's cold voice sounded again:

"If you see a professor but don't greet him respectfully, Gryffindor will deduct ten points..."

The Weasley twins were about to cry. What had we done wrong?

He stood still stiffly, then forced a smile, turned around, and said through gritted teeth:

"Good night, Professor Snape. Have a sweet dream!"

"Yes, Professor, it will definitely be a good dream!"

Professor Sprout couldn't bear it any longer and said:

"Go back quickly and take a good shower!

Severus, they are already tired enough, please stop scaring the children!"

Snape's face stiffened, and then he said to Douglas with a sneer:
