Chapter 90
“Professor Green, what are you doing?” In this box…? Peter asked in surprise.
Professor Green did not expect to meet the students so late, his eyes were a little fluttering, and then he calmly explained: “This is a Bogart I caught!” Ready to teach third graders next week! ”
Then he asked, “Why are you here?” It’s late now! ”
Peter looked at Professor Green doubtfully, he smelled a hint of blood, would he be injured if he caught Bogart? But he didn’t think much of it and replied, “We went to Professor Flitwick’s Spell Club and are only coming back now!” ”
Green looked at Peter with some surprise and asked involuntarily, “You are a first-year student, and now you have been invited into the Spell Club by Professor Flitwick?” Peter wasn’t very active in Defence Against the Dark Arts class, so he wasn’t impressed with Peter.
“Peter’s magic is highly talented, so he was favored by Professor Flitwick!” Chris replied for Peter, then glanced at Professor Green’s box and said, “Professor, your Bogart seems to be too active to need my help?” ”
“No, no!” Green moved his suitcase slightly behind him, blocked it with his robe, and said with a serious face, “It’s almost curfew time, so go back, if I see you still outside, I’ll deduct your points!” Then he hurried away with the box.
“There are ghosts!” Peter looked at Professor Green’s distant figure and squinted.
“Hogwarts Defence Against the Dark Arts, because of the curse, has to change a professor every year!” And the people who will apply now are either stupid people who don’t know whether to live or die, or people with bad intentions! But apparently Professor Green wasn’t stupid! Chris looked at the disappearing figure in the distance and said quietly. Then the conversation turned, “But this doesn’t have much to do with us, we don’t want to participate in it!” ”
Peter nodded, no matter what Professor Green was doing, as long as it didn’t affect him, he didn’t bother to take care of it. After all, the curse of this position is very powerful, and almost no good end!
The time for study passed quickly, and Peter spent the rest of his day reading books in the library to accumulate points except for class time.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and all of a sudden it was Halloween.
All the students were discussing tonight’s Halloween party, and after the last herb class of the afternoon, the students poured out of the greenhouse to watch and excitedly discuss halloween dress.
“Peter!” Cedric, who was in herbal medicine class, chased after him and said excitedly, “I just heard our dean say that Principal Dumbledore invited the Skeleton Band to perform!” ”
“Skeletons? Are they famous? Peter was not concerned about this, and asked curiously.
“Famous of course! They are second only to the Weird Sisters band, and my mom loves their style, she says weird sisters rock songs are a headache for her, but skull songs are soothing! Cedric said excitedly.
“Then I’m looking forward to it, I’ve never heard wizards music before!” Peter was also full of curiosity, and when he came to Hogwarts, his focus was on magic, and he did not understand the life of wizards.
Peter had never had a wizard’s Halloween, so he was looking forward to it, especially the ghosts in the castle were very happy, thinking that today was their holiday, so they all dressed up solemnly.
“Good afternoon, Mr. Barrow! Are you going to the Astronomy Tower today? Peter met the bloody Barrow and asked politely.
Barrow the Bloody Man was a Slytherin ghost, usually silent, with a sluggish look in his eyes, describing the withered man’s robe stained with silver blood, not knowing whether it was his own or someone else’s. Still wearing a pair of shackles on his hands, he always liked to be alone on the astronomy tower, looking at Ravenclaw Tower and muttering to himself.
The appearance of the Blood Man Barrow was very terrible, so even the Slytherin students were very afraid of him, and usually as long as the Blood Man Barrow sat, he would automatically vacate a place.
However, Peter knew something about him, and he knew that Barrow the Blood man was one of the first students of Slytherin, learning magic from Saracha Slytherin. During school, she fell in love with Helena Ravenclaw (Ms. Gray), but she didn’t love Barrow.
Later, Helena Ravenclaw stole the crown and fled to the Albanian forest. Barrow is sent by Rowena Ravenclaw to find Helena, but Helena refuses to return to school with Barrow and is killed by an enraged Barrow. Then he realizes that he killed barrow, the person he loves the most, and stabs himself to death with the knife that killed Helena!
After their deaths, both returned to Hogwarts, and Helena became Lady Grey; Barrow is also known as the Blood Man Barrow because of his blood. Lady Gray hates Barrow for killing herself, so she refuses to meet barrow. And Barrow also put a pair of shackles on himself because of remorse, showing remorse.
“Peter York?” The Bloody Barrow looked intently at the only Slytherin student in the first grade who was not afraid of himself, then shook his head and said in a hoarse voice, “All the ghosts will come together on Halloween, and Gryffindor’s ghost Nick is going to have a banquet in the underground classroom, I need to go there!” ”
Peter looked at the ghost with a sluggish look in his eyes and full of pain, and couldn’t help asking, “Mr. Barrow, the book says that the ghost is the mark left by the wizard who is afraid of death and does not want to go further.” What about you, are you afraid of death? ”
“Me, afraid of death? Barrow smiled contemptuously, and then said bitterly, “I chose death myself!” But death does not accept this sinful soul of mine! I live in eternal regret and can’t board the train of death! ”
“So the ghosts don’t appear because of the fear of death, but because of the death of a witch with an obsessive mind!” Peter muttered after thinking.
“My teacher would be very happy if he saw you!” The Bloody Barrow looked at the handsome boy in front of him and couldn’t help but say, “Gifted and studious, I’ve heard many professors and ghosts say about you!” ”
“Huh? Are you talking about Salazar Slytherin? Peter asked in astonishment, “Didn’t you say that Mr. Slytherin hated the Wizards of the Hemp Breed?” For the sake of blood, he quarreled with the other three founders and finally left Hogwarts! ”
“Then how did you get into Slytherin?” Barrow asked rhetorically.
“Because….. Ambition? Peter got stuck and couldn’t answer.
“Time is a wonderful and cruel thing, it changes a lot of things!” Barrow said bluntly, “At that time, the wizards had a very difficult time! Muggles frantically hunted down wizards, and many young wizards suffered! The four giants saw this and decided to build a school to teach and protect the little wizards! ”
But in the choice of students, Slytherin and the other three had a disagreement, and the Muggle faith at that time was so terrifying that even some hemp wizards believed that their magic was possessed by the devil! Extreme rejection of his wizarding status!
Until one time, because of the betrayal of a young wizard, the Muggle army rushed into the castle! After this incident, Slytherin was extremely distrustful of muggle wizards, as he thought these people were so unreliable that they would betray them at any time! And Hogwarts at the time couldn’t afford such a risk! ”
“But the other three founders don’t think they can kill everyone like this, and if they don’t take them in, these little wizards from the Muggle world will have nowhere to go and will even be burned to death by crazy Muggles!”
“Because of the differences, the four founders decided to use their last names as the names of the colleges and divide the students into different colleges.”
“So, Mr. Barrow, do you mean that Slytherin minds the position of the hemp student’s identity, not his lineage?” Peter was a little surprised.
Barrow didn’t speak, floating there silently, staring blankly at the tower in the distance, muttering “Helena.”
Watching Barrow immersed in his own world again, Peter was a little helpless, peter guessed that the reason why the bloody Barrow was unwilling to leave the world was probably Helena Ravenclaw!
Guilt and obsession with admiration caused him to wander the castle for nearly a thousand years, begging For Helena’s forgiveness! But apparently, helena could not have forgiven the man who had killed herself. So there will never be a day of relief!
