Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 159 Peeves Transformation Plan

"You don't even know how you were born?"

"That's right, when I opened my eyes like that, I appeared in the castle. I don't know how I got here."

In the same small room as before, Connor and Peeves were sitting in the corner chatting together.

"It's such a pity." Connor murmured.

"What a pity? What a pity?"

"It's nothing." Connor shook his head and said, "So you don't really have to make pranks to survive, do you?"

"When I was born, I didn't know anything, I could only act on instinct, and whenever I played a prank, I felt fulfilled and then I got used to it"

"Actually, now I don't feel weak at all. After entering peace from the wizarding world, there is never a lack of excitement in the castle. Usually, I only target those boring gourds, like you." Peeves glanced at Connor and said: " I usually don't pay much attention to the wizards who are always busy around me."

".Is that so. What are your plans for the future? Are you going to continue to play pranks like this?"

Confusion appeared in Peeves' eyes: "I don't know, but... the meaning of my existence. Isn't it just a prank?"

"No! No! Peeves, you were not born to play tricks, you were born to bring more joy to the castle!" Connor said seriously, "You shouldn't be treated like this, maybe...you Need... more friends."

"More friends?" Peeves huddled into a ball, "But... who would want to make friends with a prankster? Connor, not everyone is like you."

"Don't think so, Peeves, look at Fred and George, don't they have mischief every day? But they still have a lot of friends."

"But I'm just an elf. Not like you wizards."

Connor laughed, but he didn't expect that Peeves still has an inferiority complex: "Don't worry, I have a group of good friends, I think they will be very happy to get to know you again, I promise"

………………

".That's it, let's all welcome our newest member of the Brotherhood—Peves!"

There were warm applause and whistles in the Room of Requirement, especially the twins, who called out loudly:

"My God! Peeves is our brother! We got Peeves! Hahahaha!"

"Hahahaha! We won't let us walk sideways in school from now on! Welcome! Peeves!"

The members of the Brotherhood gathered together, and now they have grown to more than 20 members, and everyone welcomed Peeves to join:

"I think I misunderstood you before, Peeves, you are welcome to join us."

"Yes, the door of our brotherhood is always open for you."

Peeves stared blankly at the group of people in front of him. He didn't expect them to accept him so easily. This feeling... so happy, even happier than pranks... In the past thousand years, it has never been so happy as it is today
"Thank you...thank you all." Peeves' big eyes were full of emotion, and he kept bowing towards everyone.

Connor smiled and walked out: "But the process still has to go, Peeves, come on, sign our membership contract, we will be a family from now on!"

Peeves took over the contract, but did not write for a long time. He hesitated and said, "I actually don't have a name."

"Huh? Isn't Peeves your name?"

Peeves shook his head and said, "That's just what wizards call me. I didn't admit to that name."

This is difficult. Connor was hesitating to say something, but Peeves raised his head and said, "Connor, give me a name."

"Huh? I get up?"

Peeves nodded: "I hope you name me, I think... I will be born again today"

This. Connor hesitated, but nodded: "Okay, let me think about it."

Then Connor saw George, and he had a flash of inspiration: "Then your name is Peppa!"

"Peppa?"

"Well, it's a name that will bring joy to children."

"Pepa, Pepa...Okay! Then from today, I will be called Pepa." Peeves nodded earnestly, signed its new name on the contract, and when the contract disappeared in the air, , Peeves suddenly changed from a clown to a little spherical ghost!
"Pipeppa, what is this...?" Everyone looked at the little ghost who suddenly changed his state in surprise, and surrounded him curiously.

"Actually, I was born in this form when I was first born." Peeves turned around in the air a few times, and when it spoke, its voice was no longer that weird and low clown voice: "My external form is actually determined by the thoughts of wizards Yes, but before everyone thought I was an ugly and ridiculous clown."

Hearing this, everyone felt a bit complicated, and then heard Peeves continue to say: "But from the moment I got my real name, because your impression of me conflicted with the image I have always maintained, my appearance has changed. been reinvented."

"Then you will always look like this little ghost?" Fred asked curiously.

"No, I don't have a fixed shape for the time being, I can change it at will..." The little ghost suddenly turned into the previous clown, and then suddenly turned into the blood man Barrow: "But I will change slowly , I don't know what form it will be fixed in the end, but it must be decided by the wizards in the school."

The little ghost Peeves seemed to be very satisfied with his new body, changing around there.

"So that's how it is." Connor was thoughtful. Magical creatures like elves are really amazing. He clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention: "Everyone, actually, besides introducing Pi Pepa, we also called everyone here tonight. I have one thing to ask everyone."

Connor smiled and said, "Actually, this can be regarded as the first organized activity of our fraternity. Of course, it is a form of voluntary registration."

"Connor, just say it, we all want to help Pepper!"

"That's right, we are a family, how can we not help our own family?"

"Hahahaha yes, don't ask, I'll sign up!"

The friends gave great support, and the atmosphere was great, and Connor also laughed: "Everyone knows that when our fraternity was established, one of the fundamental goals was to eliminate bullying on campus, and Pepper , No, not only Pepper, but also the ghosts in the school, in fact, they have been treated roughly recently, and we should all stand up and help them get out of trouble."

"That's right!"

"Connor was right!"

"I can't get used to those little devils running around with the holy light on every day!"

Connor raised his hand: "So, our fraternity's action this time has two purposes, one is to completely change Pepper's image in the minds of wizards, and the other is to prevent those students from using the holy light at will in school." .”

"The second one is quite easy to solve, just warn those little ghosts in Gryffindor. The little wizards in other colleges are not so boring." Jacob cast a sideways glance at Gryffindor in a playful tone. The crowd, seeing them blushing and afraid to speak, then he continued to ask: "But how to solve the first problem?"

"I also think the first question is a bit difficult to deal with. The image of Peeves has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. For a while, I think they can't change their views."

"Indeed, although Pepper has changed his appearance now, he is the only ghost in the academy that can hold things. It is still very easy to recognize. They may think that Pepper's form is a new type of prank."

This room is full of smart people, and they quickly found the key point of the matter, and discussed it in a hurry.

Connor listened to them for a while but didn't hear any high opinions from them. He coughed a few times and said seriously: "Actually, the key to the matter is to reverse Pepper's image. You are all elites in our school, and you can be regarded as 'celebrities' in the school." ', do you know what is the 'celebrity effect'?...It refers to a psychological phenomenon that people will subconsciously imitate the behavior of celebrities. It is actually not difficult to make a big change first. And”

Connor paused, looking at the little ghost floating in the air, his eyes turned into fox eyes with a smile: "Don't you all think that our school still lacks a mascot?"

Peeves shivered for no apparent reason. It always felt. a bit off.
