Chapter 237 Peeves' Prison Ball
·
Liu Yue Zhi Yuan Fei
A new week is here.
When the morning jogging students woke up and walked in the corridor of the castle, they suddenly felt that the atmosphere was very strange.
The various portraits in the castle are no longer pretending to be asleep early in the morning, or talking nonsense, but as if each portrait is assigned a line.
The portrait of Emory Switch (the author of "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration") at the corner of the stairs on the sixth floor immediately said righteously when he saw a student walking by:
"Confidence comes from strength, and strength comes from hard work."
"A day of hard work can lead to a peaceful night's sleep; a lifetime of hard work can lead to a happy long sleep."
The portrait of Sir Cadogan on the eighth floor, seeing a student passing by, immediately reined in his pony, raised the big sword in his hand and shouted loudly:
"Good morning, my comrades! If you need a noble mind and a strong body, take the exam.
Exams are like a hurdle in the long road of life. Whether you succeed or fail, I don't think it matters now.
The important thing is to sum up the gains and losses of the exams, while stepping through every hurdle in the future life, just like the mighty Sir Cadogan. "
Several monks next to him also said:
"In the face of setbacks, we must persevere!"
"In the face of difficulties, we must face up to them!"
"In the face of failure, we must persevere!"
"With diligence and wisdom, you will surely succeed. Good morning, my friends!"
A portrait of the Fat Lady, the doorman in the Gryffindor common room, who says whenever someone comes out:
"Cheer up, our troubles will soon be over!"
"Hey, kids, come on, come on, come on~"
The high-pitched bel canto at the end made every Gryffindor who walked out of the common room instantly refreshed.
Even the picture of the drunk monk in the corridor of the Charms class, every time he sees someone passing by, he will drunkenly say:
"Through the baptism of sweat, you can make good wine..."
"No, only then can we understand the joy of harvest!"
......
From this day on, there are always various inspirational words floating in the castle.
Everyone speculated that this must have been done by Professor Holmes.
After all, these words are too familiar, especially for Hufflepuff students, who often hear these words from the professor in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
Everyone guessed correctly, because the homework of some classes has started to increase recently, causing students to always feel that they can't sleep well, or they tend to be distracted in other classes.
Professor McGonagall specifically asked Douglas to mention it secretly, hoping that he could give him a solution.
Originally, Professor McGonagall meant that he hoped that Douglas would reduce some homework, so that other professors could leave more homework, so that students would not be biased.
Douglas didn't know whether it was intentional or not, but he remembered that the students were not in a good state of mind recently.
Generally speaking, the effect was really good at the beginning, and the students basically didn't stay in the corridor for too long, they just came and went in a hurry.
However, Hogwarts has never lacked the spirit of resistance, especially a group of ghosts who have long disliked Douglas.
After Professor Spence's severe criticism, and when Peeves thought it was fun.
The bored ghosts of Hogwarts spontaneously guarded some portraits, and whenever they said the previous sentence, they immediately followed up with the next sentence.
"No Pain..."
"No grain harvest."
"God never forgets..."
"Those who are gifted!"
"Experienced the baptism of sweat..."
"You just know that the Owls exam is in the summer!"
"The exam is like a hurdle in the long road of life..."
"Hogwarts is full of hurdles!"
......
After seeing this kind of scene, the students would stop every time, and then said to the phantom with a smile: "Be strong!"
The ghosts are not stupid either. Whenever a professor or other Hogwarts staff pass by, they immediately get into the wall behind them or the ceiling above their heads.
After the other professors knew about this, they all watched with a smile, including Professor McGonagall.
Although the professors at Hogwarts did not have kpi, they also had some minor complaints about Douglas' introversion.
After Douglas knew this, he just laughed it off. After all, he couldn't really force the students to study hard.
However, in the following class, he rewarded each student who performed well but was usually bullied by Peeves with a Peeves cage ball.
As long as this ball is thrown towards Peeves, it will automatically suck Peeves into the ball and trap it for 24 hours, and this ball is not a one-off, but every time Peeves is trapped, it will be tied up again Peeves' time will be reduced by about two hours.
Douglas emphatically emphasizes:
"I don't want my outstanding students to be bullied by a little harasser, all for anti-school violence!"
This time, the Peeves Cage Ball is not the same as the Peeves Expulsion Talisman. The former was specially developed for Peeves after Douglas improved his level. The second collective protest of the ghosts.
But Douglas' idea is good, but the reality has given these students a head-on blow.
The main reason is that the first student who got Peeves' cage ball, after seeing Peeves, uttered nonsense.
"Haha, Peeves, you are going to die. This is the Peeves cage ball specially given to me by the professor. I must let you know how good I am!"
As a result, the ball he threw couldn't hit Peeves at all.
Peeves twisted his butt arrogantly in mid-air, squawking strangely:
"Quack quack, if you hit the great Lord Peeves, you will be rewarded with three points!"
And his actions directly caused Peeves to be very wary of the students, basically no one could hit Peeves.
But soon someone thought of a way.
Especially after being tipped off by two Gryffindor fifth-year pranksters and doing some dirty business.
These students with Peeves cage balls would sell them in the corridor after class every time:
"My Peeves cage ball is for rent out. You can hit Peeves once with a copper Knut. If you miss a hit, you will not get your money back. Once you hit it, you will be rewarded with a certain product from the spice and joke shop."
Since most of the students in the school have been bullied by Peeves, they agree with their behavior.
Even Mr. Filch, the castle administrator, as well as the prefects of various colleges, and some professors turned a blind eye after seeing this behavior. Who made Peeves sin too many people?
These students are also very smart after being coached. Every time they pick someone, they will avoid the Quidditch players in the school.
But in order to keep the students enthusiastic about the business, they picked George Weasley and Fred Weasley of Gryffindor after earning a wave of Copper Knuts.
Finally, with the cooperation of the twins, the first blood of Peeves' cage ball was taken down.
When the students saw that the ball could really bind Peeves, their enthusiasm rose again.
As for the scene where the twins share the spoils with a group of Peeves cage ball owners in some dark corner of the school, it's not appropriate for other Hogwarts students to know about it.
At first, the ghosts were very afraid of the Peeves cage ball released by Douglas, so they suspended the plan to boycott Douglas.
But when they learned that the thing was only effective for Peeves, they popped up again and continued the Douglas boycott plan.
Anyway, it was Peeves who punished them, not them, and they were happy to see Peeves disappear for a day now and then.
