Chapter 243 Peeves, Andy and Dumbledore
Time passes by minute by minute, and it’s 1 in a blink of an eye.
During this time, Andy finally realized what it means to be passionate. No matter where Andy goes, there will always be someone asking Andy to learn how to use the Patronus Charm.
At first, Andy could still deal with it patiently, but soon, Andy was annoyed by those people.
Concentrate, think of happy memories, and say the mantra...
At best, add a wand-waving gesture.
There are obviously only four steps, Che Zulu said it over and over again, but those little wizards always asked for advice over and over again, as if they didn't remember what you said before.
Andy sometimes wanted to take out his wand and hit them hard.
At this time, Andy especially admired Snape's way of dealing with people - because no little wizard dared to ask Snape questions.
Andy realized.
If Andy wants to be a professor, Snape is a role model for Andy to learn from.
Because only if you make all the little wizards afraid of you will they not dare to bother you with stupid questions.
Snape is wise!
But it's a pity that Andy is just a student now.
So Andy could only choose to hide.
In the principal's office where the Room of Requirement changes. new
Andy has been copying and reading here during this time, and sometimes goes to the practice room to practice magic.
When the magic book, notebook, and quill fell to the ground together, Andy breathed a sigh of relief—the last book was finally copied.
Copy of the Principal's Office... Officially cleared.
Putting down the book in his hand, Andy put his notebook and quill into the bag of the Space Expansion Spell, stood up and patted his butt. Andy looked around, and then walked out of the Room of Requirement without any hesitation.
Today is Halloween, and the decoration in the castle is much the same as last year.
The corridors are full of pumpkin lanterns and bats, and ghosts appear in groups. Peeves has received unimaginable privileges today - he can scare the little wizards who come and go at will without any punishment.
On the way to the auditorium, Andy smelled the aroma of roasted pumpkin floating in the castle, and his mood felt much better.
The festive atmosphere at Hogwarts is strong.
Whoosh——
A water balloon hit Andy on the head.
Andy waved casually, and the water balloon turned a corner and hit the wall of the corridor with a 'snap'.
"Yo! Look who this is? Isn't this the famous Andy Collins?"
Peeves is obviously not ready to let Andy go easily. He has been waiting for Andy here for a long time.
"Let's see how much you can dodge!" Peeves floated out of a pumpkin lantern, holding a lot of water balloons in his arms. new
Andy raised his eyebrows, "Peeves, if I were you, I would definitely not do this!"
"Are you scared? Collins, you can try using your Patronus Charm." Peeves challenged.
After saying that, Peeves raised the water balloon and was about to hit Andy.
Andy quickly took out his wand, pointed it at Peeves, and directly used the Confusion Charm.
Peeves was stunned, and the whole ghost froze on the spot.
"Well done, Andy!" Several little wizards passing by quickly gave Andy a thumbs up.
They have been bitter for a long time.
Andy said hello to them, and then set his sights on Peeves.
As we all know, ghosts cannot touch objects.
new
But Peeves obviously makes exceptions.
Having finally subdued Peeves, Andy plans to take the opportunity to study the structure of this ghost.
Andy raised his wand and pointed it at Peeves.
"Collins, Peeves at least brought us a lot of joy." An old voice sounded behind Andy.
What a coincidence.
"Good evening, principal." Andy took back his wand.
Dumbledore glanced at Peeves and just waved his hand. Peeves flew away with a whoosh like a deflated balloon.
"Principal, Peeves seems a little different from other ghosts." Andy asked curiously.
Now that I have met Dumbledore... rather than bothering to research it myself, it is better to ask Dumbledore directly.
Your own research may not yield results, but asking Dumbledore... you will definitely get the most correct results.
"Yes! Peeves is not a ghost."
Dumbledore said frankly: "Peeves has existed since the beginning of Hogwarts. Peeves is a kind of spiritual energy, not a mark left by the dead..."
Speaking of this, Dumbledore looked at Andy and blinked, "Collins, you should know the principle of Peeves' birth very well."
Andy was a little surprised, "Did the emotions of the students and the magic in the castle work together to give birth to Peeves?"
Dumbledore explained: "Scholars generally believe that Peeves is a spirit entity born from subconscious actions...especially the subconscious actions of the oppressed."
"For thousands of years, students at Hogwarts have been under considerable pressure. This is how Peeves was born."
Andy suddenly realized.
When students are under pressure, they will develop a rebellious mentality.
However, due to school rules, discipline, professors and other factors, they dare not resist this pressure.
Thus was born Peeves.
This is very similar to the principle of the birth of Obscurus.
Depressed...
Seeing Andy's thoughtful look, Dumbledore smiled and said, "Yes, the mind suppresses magic, and the two will gradually merge together, thus giving birth to a new magical life."
Andy asked: "Principal, does magic come from life?"
"You can say that."
It was rare for Dumbledore not to be the Riddler. He said very frankly: "Collins, you should know that I studied the Obscurus when I was young... Magic comes from life... It is the purest life energy."
Andy nodded thoughtfully.
Magic comes from life, and once spiritual power is injected into magic, it will evolve from pure 'life energy' to 'life with thoughts'.
The basic essence that constitutes everything in the world...
Originally this was just Andy's own conclusion, but Dumbledore's words completely sealed this conclusion.
At this moment, Andy completely gave up on the white magic version of Obscurus - even if it was very powerful.
"I know!" Andy said.
Dumbledore smiled and nodded, "Let's go, the Halloween dinner is about to begin."
On the way to the auditorium, Andy continued to ask: "Principal, happy emotions can give birth to a patron saint, but what about negative emotions?"
Andy's imagination is wide open.
If you could create a black magic version of your patron saint,
That's three against one.
"Positive emotions can be divided into many types, and happiness is just one of them...the same goes for negative emotions."
Dumbledore looked at Andy and said slowly: "If you have a strong murderous intention in your heart..."
