Hogwarts, where the stars shine

Christmas vacation is coming, and double joy appears on the faces of the students.

The decorations in the castle are full of festive atmosphere. Twelve towering Christmas trees are placed in the auditorium, and the walls are covered with hanging ribbons of holly and mistletoe.

A fir tree with long legs that moves on its own can always be seen in the corridor on the first floor.But students passing by were neither surprised nor frightened.

That's because the tall fir trees completely blocked Hagrid's figure, leaving only a pair of big feet like a boat exposed under the tree.

Although the teachers and staff have decorated the school with great care, they still can't stop the students from missing home and they can't wait for the holidays.

There is a madman who is hiding somewhere and curses students, a point-deducting maniac who sprays poison in the underground classroom, and there are Slytherins and Gryffindors who greet each other's relatives.

The students couldn't stay in Hogwarts' thousand-year-old castle for even a minute.

One morning in late December, Hogwarts woke up from sleep, and everything was silent.Mesa left the dormitory, and the Slytherin dungeon seemed particularly deserted during the holidays.

Last week, Professor Snape registered the list of students staying at school for the holidays, and Mesa signed his name without hesitation.

Although there are unknown dangers lurking in the school, and the unpopular Slytherin dungeon is getting colder and colder, but compared to the cold wind-swept bridge cave and the Leaky Cauldron bar with its violent alarm clock, staying is a very wise choice.

And, with nowhere to go, Mesa had to stay in school.

Passing through the damp stone wall, Mesa walked out of the deserted Slytherin dungeon.

Since Slytherin is the house with the smallest number of students staying in school, the corridor leading to the auditorium was empty, with only Mesa's footsteps echoing.

Mesa clung to the rough wall, close to the torch hanging on the wall, and walked quickly.

As he walked, a slight strange sound came into Mesa's ears, which gave Mesa goosebumps all over his body.

The brightly lit corridor, the lonely boy, the harsh and strange noise... Mesa felt as if he was on the set of a horror movie, as if a creepy female ghost would appear behind him in the next second.

Mesa stepped up his pace. He was not Lilia Shafiq, a curious baby. He was not interested in the strange noise at all.Watching the excitement is not a good habit.

Suddenly, the harsh noise disappeared, and instead there was a burst of unpleasant swear words and croaking laughter drifting into the corridor.

This voice felt very familiar to Mesa.

Guided by the curses and laughter, Mesa came to the source of the sound, Professor Snape's Potions classroom.

Pushing open the ajar classroom door, Peeves' figure suddenly appeared in front of Mesa. The Hogwarts prankster was writing and drawing on the blackboard.

Unlike the ghosts at school, Peeves can materialize, so he can pull off all his pranks.In addition, Peeves seems to be able to become invisible.

Mesa looked carefully and saw that the words on the blackboard were all curse words.In Professor Snape's Potions classroom, Peeves scolded the administrator Filch to death.

Peeves also heard the footsteps behind him. He turned around suddenly and threw the chalk in his hand.

"Long time no see, Peeves." Mesa turned sideways to avoid the chalk heads thrown at him, "I thought you were kicked out of school by Dumbledore."

Peeves is a little man with evil black eyes and a big mouth.

As if to tie in with the upcoming Christmas, Peeves was dressed very brightly today, with bells hanging on his red clothes.

"Hey, you are the disciple of that old monkey in Slytherin!" Peeves chirped, "You annoying little devil, do you want me to hang you from the ceiling?"

Mesa had always hung people from the ceiling, but this was the first time someone wanted to hang him from the ceiling.

Peeves felt insulted when he saw that Mesa showed no fear on his face and did not run away in despair, but instead walked towards him.The mischievous elf flew in front of Mesa.

Surprisingly, Peeves did not continue to threaten, but instead adopted a pleading tone.

He said: "Annoying little devil, I heard that you cursed other little devils into the school hospital... How about you teach me this trick, and I will protect you from now on?"

Whatever gossip is circulating among the students, Peeves will get involved and further cause trouble for Hogwarts.It's the same this time, he doesn't care about righteous people, he only cares about making trouble.

"Peeves, why do I think Barrow is more intimidating?" Mesa said in a pretense of embarrassment, "Aren't you also afraid of him?"

Hearing this, Peeves suddenly jumped into the air as if someone had stepped on his tail.

Peeves was condescending and said viciously: "I am not afraid of Bloody Baron! That mute dead ghost who can only scare people with his blood!"

Mesa didn't even bother to raise his head and said directly: "It's just you and me here, stop pretending. Everyone in the school knows that you are afraid of Barrow, and you are scared to death."

Peeves didn't answer, and the angry prankster threw all the remaining chalk heads at Mesa.

"Wadi Wasi!" Mesa muttered casually, and all the chalk heads thrown at him flew back, causing Peeves to run away with his head in his arms.

No one would believe the scene in front of them. Peeves, the all-powerful ghost, was defeated in the hands of a first-year kid.

"Peeves, let's make a deal?"

Just before Peeves ran out of the classroom in disgrace, Mesa made an urgent suggestion.This was the purpose of Mesa following the sound. He wanted to get some information from Peeves.

If there is anyone who knows Hogwarts best, many people would think it is Headmaster Albus Dumbledore.In addition to the greatest wizard of our time, Mesa felt that these ghosts wandering in the castle also knew the school very well.

No one has been stranded in the school longer than they are, and ghost time stops the moment they choose to come back.

Peeves looked at Mesa suspiciously, his evil black eyes blinking, as if he was seriously considering Mesa's proposal.

"As long as you tell me why you want to cause trouble in the Great Hall on Halloween, I will provide you with a great idea." Mesa continued, "How about an idea that will give Filch a huge headache?"

Peeves floated over, and it was obvious that he was a little moved by Mesa's proposal.

Successive school administrators are committed to driving Peeves out of the school, and Peeves doesn't want to drive the administrator away, making every administrator afraid to mention his name.

"Someone stole my things!" Peeves gritted his teeth and said, "No one has ever dared to steal my things!"

Peeves was so furious that he circled the basement angrily, yelling at the shameless thief.It seemed that even all the water from the Black Lake could not wash away his overwhelming hatred for the thief.

"What did he take from you that made you ignore Dumbledore and Barrow and make a scene in the auditorium?" Mesa then asked. He dared to steal Peeves' things. His courage was no less than that of Rancoros Calpe. Sir.

"All! All!" Peeves felt like a baby at this moment. "My muzzleloader, my small cannon! Do you know how difficult it is to hide so many things without telling Dumbledore!"

Good guy, Mesa calls it good guy, this is how Peeves has been robbed!

"That's not right," Mesa asked doubtfully, "Didn't those weapons of yours be turned over to Professor Eupracia Moore?"

"It's none of your business, you little brat, stop asking about social affairs!" Peeves screamed loudly, "Now, it's your turn to tell me that brilliant idea. If you don't satisfy me, I'll kill you Hang it at the castle door!”

Mesa nodded, Peeves had completed the agreement, and Mesa would naturally fulfill his promise.

"I wonder if you have ever thought about what the whole castle would look like if there were no toilets in the school bathroom?"

This proposal obviously failed to satisfy Peeves, and his little black eyes widened instantly. He said: "I have thought about it a long time ago. I blocked the toilet, but..."

"Why not try to blow up all the toilets?" Mesa asked puzzledly, "You should know that Filch can quickly unblock a blocked toilet, but he cannot quickly restore a broken toilet. "

Peeves was stunned for a moment, this was indeed something he had not thought of before.

Peeves flew out of the classroom excitedly, screaming as he flew: "Haha, Filch is finished now, I don't have to look at his ugly face anymore!"

Mesa also walked out of the classroom, but this time he did not continue towards the auditorium, but towards Filch's administrator's office.

No joke, if Peeves really blows up all the toilets, Mesa as a student will be in the worst situation until the teachers restore the toilets.

Therefore, Mesa betrayed Peeves without any burden.
