Connor's Hogwarts

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

"Yes, when I opened my eyes, I appeared in the castle. I don't know how I got here."

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

"That's such a shame." Connor murmured.

"What a pity? What's a pity?"

"Nothing." Connor shook his head and said, "So you don't actually have to cause mischief to survive, right?"

"When I was born, I didn't understand anything and could only rely on instinct. Whenever I played pranks, I felt fulfilled and over time I got used to it."

"In fact, I don't feel weak at all now. After entering peace from the wizarding world, there is no 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 wizards who are always busy around me.”

"Well. What are your plans in the future? Are you going to continue to play pranks like this?"

There was confusion in Peeves' eyes: "I don't know either, but... the meaning of my existence is, isn't it just a prank?"

"No! No! Peeves, you were not born to play pranks, 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 shrank into a ball: "But who would want to make friends with a troublemaker who likes to play pranks? Connor, not everyone is like you."

"Don't think so, Peeves. Look at Fred and George. Aren't they mischievous every day? But they still have many friends."

"But I'm just an elf. Different from you wizards."

Connor was happy, but he didn't expect Peeves to still have a low self-esteem: "Don't worry, I have a group of good friends. I think they will all be happy to get to know you again, I promise."

………………

".That's it, let's welcome the new member of our brotherhood - Peeves!"

Warm applause and whistles rang out in the Room of Requirement, especially the twins, who shouted enthusiastically:

"Oh my God! Peeves is our brother! We got Peeves! Hahahaha!"

"Hahahaha! From now on we won't have to walk sideways in school! Welcome! Peeves!"

The members of the Brotherhood gathered together. Now they have grown to more than 20 members. Everyone welcomed Peeves' joining:

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

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

Peeves stared blankly at the group of people in front of him. He didn't expect that they would accept him so easily. This feeling... he was so happy, even happier than playing pranks... In the past thousand years, he had never been as happy as he is today.

"Thank you... thank you." Peeves' big eyes were full of emotion, and he kept bowing to everyone.

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

Peeves took the contract, but he didn't write it. He hesitated and said, "I actually don't have a name."

"Eh? Isn't Peeves your name?"

Peeves shook his head and said: "That's just what the wizard calls me. I have never acknowledged this name."

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

"Eh? Shall I get up?"

Peeves nodded: "I want you to name me. I think... I will be reborn today."

Connor hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, let me think about it."

Then Connor saw George, and he had an idea: "Then your name is Peppa!"

"Pepa?"

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

"Pepa, Pepa...Okay! From today on, my name will be Pepa." Peeves nodded seriously and signed his new name on the contract. When the contract disappeared in the air, , Peeves suddenly changed from a clown to a small ball-shaped ghost!

"Pi Peipa, what are you...?" Everyone looked at the little ghost who suddenly changed in surprise, and gathered around curiously.

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

Everyone felt a little complicated after hearing this, and then heard Peeves continue: "But from the moment I got my real name, because your impression of me conflicts with the image I have always maintained, my appearance has changed." It’s been reinvented.”

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

"No, I don't have a fixed shape now. I can change it at will..." The little ghost suddenly turned into the clown before, and then suddenly turned into Bloody Barrow: "But I will change slowly. , I don’t know what form it will eventually take, but that must be decided by the wizards in the school.”

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

"So that's it." Connor thought thoughtfully. Magical creatures like elves are indeed very magical. He clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention: "Everyone, in fact, in addition to introducing Pi Peppa to everyone here tonight, we also I have something to ask of you all.”

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

"Just tell me Connor, 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 strong support and the atmosphere was so good that Connor also laughed: "Everyone knows that when our fraternity was established, one of the fundamental goals was to put an end to bullying on campus, and Pepper , no, it’s not just Pepper, but also the ghosts in the school. In fact, they have been treated roughly recently. Due to circumstances and reasons, we should all step forward and help them get out of trouble."

"That's right!"

"Connor's right!"

"I have long been disgusted with those little devils running around with the holy light on every day!"

Connor raised his hand: "So, our brotherhood'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 classmates from using the Holy Light at will in school. .”

"The second one is quite easy to solve. All you need to do is warn the little guys from Gryffindor. The little wizards from other houses are not that boring." Jacob glanced at Gryffindor in a playful tone. The crowd looked at it so that they blushed and dared not speak, and then he asked again: "But how to solve the first problem?"

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

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

The whole room was full of smart people, and they quickly found the key points of the matter and started discussing it.

Connor listened for a while but didn't hear any suggestions from them. He coughed a few times and said seriously: "Actually, the key to the matter is to change Pepper's image. You are all the elites of our school and can be regarded as celebrities in the school. ', Do you know what the 'celebrity effect' is?... It refers to a psychological phenomenon in which people will subconsciously imitate the behavior of celebrities. In fact, as long as our attitude is expressed, Pepper's image in people's minds will be greatly affected. It’s actually not difficult to achieve the first point of big changes. And”

Connor paused and looked at the little ghost floating in the air. His eyes turned into fox eyes when he smiled: "Don't you think our school still lacks a mascot?"

Peeves shivered inexplicably. He always felt that something was not good.
