From Karma Taj to Hogwarts

"Let's talk about how to deal with the ghost Stephen Strange." Principal Dippet said.

"In view of his serious suspicion of damage to the castle's public facilities, it was decided after discussion that the measure of imprisonment and custody should be implemented. From now on, Stephen Strange's activity space and social range will be restricted, and the three professors will cast spells in the dungeon A room will be designated for the suspect's activities, and the walls of the room will be cast with a Ghost-Restricting Charm and will be monitored by a dedicated person."

After hearing the spell of the Ghost Forbidden Curse, Helena immediately panicked. She originally thought that Xiwen's ghost body could not be harmed at all, and would not be subject to any specific restrictions. She could leave freely at any time if she wanted to. But the Ghost Spell, a vicious spell targeting ghosts, disrupted her plan.

She immediately floated up from her seat and rushed to Principal Dippet, shouting loudly: "You have no right to do this to him!"

Principal Dippet said unmoved: "Ms. Gray, please understand. We also want to ensure the safety of the school."

Helena's voice turned cold: "For the sake of so-called safety, is it okay to inhumanely bind an innocent ghost with a spell?"

Principal Dippet said: "The magic world is not at peace now, and we cannot take any chances."

Helena wanted to continue arguing with him, but Xiwen held her hand from behind.

"I will obey your instructions." He said softly.

Helena turned back and looked at him in disbelief.

Xiwen shook his head at her and said, "It's okay."

Xiwen has another body after all, so detention is not a big problem for him. At worst, he could just concentrate on Sivan Rozier's body and listen to the lecture, and the ghost part could just sleep for a while.

Helena stared at him for a few seconds, and was finally convinced by Xiwen's eyes.

"Okay." Helena said, and then she looked at the three professors. “But I’m going to be Stephen’s caretaker!”

"This is impossible!" Barrow stood up at this time and said in a strong tone. "Everyone knows you two have a close relationship..."

"Do you mean that I will practice favoritism and do things that will harm the safety of the castle?" Helena said in a bad tone.

"I didn't... mean that, I, I just..." Barrow immediately became flustered and began to hesitate when speaking.

"Ms. Gray, please be considerate of Barrow." Professor Mellors said upon seeing this. "He's also doing it for school."

"For school? Ha..." Helena laughed disdainfully.

Seeing that both Barrow and Helena's expressions were not very good, Dumbledore was too embarrassed to continue watching the show. At this time, he said: "Actually, a ghost banning spell is safe enough. Of course, if Ms. Gray wants to It’s perfectly okay to stay in the dungeon and chat with Mr. Strange to pass the boring and restrictive time.”

After saying that, he winked at Xiwen and Helena.

Helena's expression softened.

"Professor, I can also serve as Strange's guard." Barrow seemed to be unwilling to give up and continued.

Helena dismissed it coldly: "That's not necessary!"

Principal Dippet didn't know what to say when he saw this. Each generation of headmasters knew that Helena's true identity was the daughter of Ravenclaw, and she also knew many secrets and history about this castle. It can be said that there is likely to be a place where her help is needed in the future.

Therefore, as the principal, Armando Dippet did not want to go against Helena's wishes too much, so he could only acquiesce to her request to guard Xiwen.

In fact, the three-hundred-year-old man was also very confused. What kind of ecstasy soup did this new Stephen Strange pour into Helena Ravenclaw? She gave so much trust.

……

Three professors and four ghosts left the principal's office. Bachelor Angulo left the team first with an excuse midway, leaving three professors who were going to cast spells, a suspected ghost, a ghost guarding the suspected ghost, and a The lingering ghost...

They made their way to the dungeons via the spiral staircase that led to the Slytherin common room.

'So the place where Slytherin Academy lives is really a dungeon...' Sivan complained silently.

After all, the dungeon was too deep, and Principal Dippet's old and thin body could hardly support him on such a long and dizzying staircase, and his breathing became particularly heavy.

Seemingly noticing his heavy breathing, Dumbledore gently raised his wand.

"Thank you, Albus." Principal Dippet sighed as he regained some strength. "I'm getting old after all."

Silently all the way, three people and three ghosts arrived in the dungeon.

This is a different location from the Slytherin common room and the classrooms in the dungeons, and is the other side of the sparsely populated area. Because few people pass by and use it for a long time, there are few torches around, the ground is full of dust, and the environment is very dirty, with spiders and sticky puddles everywhere.

Principal Dippet took out a bunch of keys, found a rusty brown key, and opened the copper door of a room.

This should be a place where some people were once imprisoned. There were some old and discarded shackles hanging inside, and half of an uneven plumb bob was exposed in the mud on the ground. I don’t know if they imprisoned the enemies who attacked Hogwarts hundreds of years ago, or whether they imprisoned students who violated school rules in the era of corporal punishment.

"The environment here is too unbearable." Helena frowned.

Principal Dippet asked in surprise: "I thought this kind of environment would be more in line with the ghost's wishes?"

Helena said coldly: "We are not the kind of corpses in the gutter."

At this time, Barrow took advantage of the opportunity and said: "Helena, you don't need to stay in this environment, just let me guard it."

"No, I have no problem." Helena reacted immediately after hearing Barrow's words. "What do you think, Stephen?"

"That's it, it's all the same." Xiwen smiled helplessly on the surface, but in fact he couldn't get what he wanted in his heart. This place is so close to the Slytherin common room, and I can come and take care of it at any time as Sivan Rozier.

"Okay, then it's decided." Principal Dippet nodded. "Then please enter this room, Mr. Strange."

Xiwen floated in, still complaining in his heart, 'What kind of room is this? It's clearly a cell...'

After Sivan entered the room, Principal Dippet looked at Dumbledore.

"Let's get started, Albus."

Dumbledore nodded and walked to the door. He waved his wand and said: "RestrictoGhostum."

Principal Dippet and Professor Mellors next to them also recited the incantation, strengthening the spell.

Soon, a transparent barrier surrounded the cell.

"Is this enough?" Xiwen looked at the still open copper door and asked doubtfully.

"You can try it yourself, Mr. Strange." Dumbledore smiled.

Xiwen stretched out his hand and tried to pass through the barrier. But when he touched it, his arm suddenly seemed to have lost its strength and it was difficult to move forward an inch.

"It's amazing!" Xiwen exclaimed. "I still haven't felt the entity, but I can't get past it."

Dumbledore smiled slightly and said to Helena: "Then I'll leave it to you, Ms. Grey."

Helena nodded and stretched out her hand to Xiwen's hand hanging in the air. The distance between their palms was only about an inch, but it was like a chasm, unable to reach them.

Principal Dippet saw this scene and said to Sivan: "We will continue to investigate this matter and hope you will not take any extraordinary actions."

"Yeah." Xiwen felt unhappy after hearing this and responded casually.

Professor Mellors looked at him apologetically and said, "Mr. Strange, I can only wrong you for a while. If the real murderer is found, we will definitely apologize sincerely and make compensation to you."

Faced with Professor Melos's sincere attitude, Xiwen could not continue to show his face and said seriously: "I'm waiting for that day."

The three professors then left. Bloody Barro wanted to stay and say something, but Helena kicked him out with a cold face.

Now, there is only a pair of ghosts, a man and a woman, who are just a few feet away from each other and looking at each other in silence.
