[Comprehensive English and American] You have to pay rent even if you are a ghost

Although there was a cat leopard who could barely be called a playmate, Benson Harmon obediently forgot about Raffaele for a few minutes, but after giggling, the little guy started to pick the cat leopard statue's head looking for brother.

After looking left and right and looking around under the belly of the cat and leopard, Benson Harmon pursed his mouth, and the small appearance of crying or not immediately made the cat and leopard statue a little numb.

"Aww, don't cry, bad kids will cry whenever they say..."

Before the cat and leopard finished speaking, Benson Harmon burst into tears with a "wow". Fortunately, there was Raphael's silent enchantment in the hall, otherwise, Greylock would be on the court with this voice The professors and little wizards all had to be startled.

The hair on the nape of the cat and leopard statue stood on end in fright, and I couldn't imagine how Mr. Stuart would react when he came back and saw this scene.

Well, there is no unnecessary reaction.

As soon as Benson Harmon howled, two fingers stretched out, and when they closed, Benson Harmon's mouth was instantly pinched into a duckling.He glanced at the cat and leopard statue, and said softly, "Thanks for your hard work."

The cat and leopard statue quickly shook his head and said, "It's not hard, he is very cute."

Raffaele looked at the cat and leopard thoughtfully. It seemed that, compared to what he was looking for, the magical creatures that could be regarded as nanny living in this area were not as convenient as the cat and leopard statue in front of him. .

After all, it's not a real leopard, it doesn't need to hunt and eat, and it just needs some magic to keep up with its daily activities, making it the perfect nanny.

Of course, the most important thing is that this cat leopard is the most beautiful and exquisite one among the four statues, which is inseparable from the fact that he was the sculptor of the cat leopard back then.

In sculpture, Raffaele is quite talented.

As for the other statues, they were all carved by James Stuart, which is not bad.

Raffaele curled his lips.

……

Half an hour later, the results of the match between the Water Snake Academy and the Cat Leopard Academy were announced.

The Cat Panther Academy Seekers caught the Snitch, ending the game and winning.

This is the last competition of this semester before the summer vacation of the magic school, and it is the final.

For this reason, the score of Maobao Academy has been increased by [-] points, which can be described as a powerful weight for Maobao to compete for the Academy Cup this semester.

The students of Cat Leopard Academy rejoiced and ran happily to the rotunda of the castle to check the college scores.

In the rotunda, there are not only statues symbolizing the four colleges, but also gemstone pillars standing aside.Each gemstone column corresponds to a college, and a red gemstone means a point.

However, when the students of Maobao Academy ran into the hall, and before they could appreciate the ruby ​​jumping up from their own college, they were stunned by the changes in the hall.

The symbol of their college, the vigorous and handsome cat and leopard statue that symbolizes the courage of their college, is gone! ! !

"Professor! Principal!" The little wizards of the Cat Leopard Academy screamed in fright, "Help! Someone stole our Cat Leopard!"

For the other three statues in the hall, the long-horned water snake silently curled its tail, and put the tip of its tail on the Thunderbird beside it.Thunderbird maintained a serious posture looking at the sky outside the castle window, as if wanting to spread its wings and fly high.The goblin silently rolled his eyes, and blocked his face with the hand holding the bow and arrow.

They witnessed with their own eyes how Lord Stuart fooled the cat and leopard away.

Principal Anthony Davis rushed to the hall quickly, and after seeing the cat and leopard statue really disappeared, his expression became serious.

That is not an ordinary statue, it is the heritage of Greylock's history, it is a magic statue left by the founder of the school, and it is the symbol of Cat Leopard Academy!

The professors behind him frowned, took out their wands at the same time, and began to detect the surrounding magic fluctuations.

No one can really hide their tracks, as long as they have been here, as long as they have done something, they can always leave some traces.

However, after a series of detection magic, the answer is: no, nothing!

Principal Anthony Davis stretched out his hand and sensed it. As the principal of this school and the person who signed a preliminary contract with this castle, he could sense the magical fluctuations when the castle's defense mechanism was touched even a little.

But his answer was the same as that of other professors, no, nothing.

Could it be that the cat and leopard statue left the hall by itself?

Is this running away from school?

Principal Anthony Davis glanced at the students who were about to cry, looked at the remaining statues in the hall, and asked very politely: "Excuse me, three. I wonder if you have seen what happened?"

The professors and little wizards looked at the headmaster in surprise. He was talking to the statue?

Although everything in the wizarding world is amazing, the people on the portraits can talk, and the ghosts can wander in the castle, but the statues responsible for the sorting work are not like the sorting hats of Hogwarts across the sea, not only can chatter endlessly , and can sing with his voice open.

The three statues stood in place as quietly as chickens.

Principal Anthony Davis looked at the three statues calmly and patiently.

"cough."

A soft cough sounded in the hall.

The little wizards stared wide-eyed.

The goblin statue scratched its ears. Under the gaze of the current headmaster, it failed to pretend to be dead like the thunderbird and horned water snake beside it. The headmaster Anthony Davis was a graduate of the Goblin Academy.

The statue of the goblin raised its bow and arrow amidst the exclamation of "Whoa, whoa, whoa!", pointed to the giant Gordian knot in the center of the hall, and said, "You guys, don't you have good eyesight? Can't you see the leaves left on it?"

Everyone: "..."

A little wizard raised his hand and said honestly, "I saw it, but I couldn't lift it."

There is powerful magic attached to the diamond-shaped leaves, not something that a young wizard can pick up.

Obviously, it's not for little wizards.

The goblin statue rolled its eyes and said, "Cat Leopard left with His Excellency Stuart. He left a secret room in Greylock before. Everything in it belongs to you. It is the price for taking Cat Leopard away."

Principal Anthony Davis picked up the leaves and asked curiously, "Your Excellency Stuart?"

"The original funder of the school, James Stuart's cousin, a born powerful wizard." The long-horned water snake statue praised Raphael's strength with an aria.

All the little wizards in the rotunda were stunned, the statue, the statue could actually talk!And they still speak standard British English, not American at all.

"Your Excellency Stuart..." Principal Anthony Davis looked thoughtfully at the leaf in his hand, on which the directions and passwords were written in cursive script, corresponding to the secret room mentioned by the statues.

James Stuart, one of the founders of Greylock School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, his cousin, and the sponsor of the school, does it mean Raffaele Stuart?The powerful wizard who left a lot of magic handbooks in the castle library, marked RS, the spells he left benefited Greylock a lot.

In the wizarding world, there are not wizards who can live for hundreds of years. For example, the alchemist who created the Philosopher's Stone is 668 years old this year.Not to mention the Archmage Merlin and the Eternal King Arthur Pendragon who returned to the wizarding world 60 years ago, and the two founders of the British School of Magic more than 40 years ago. The Philosopher's Stone has survived unmatched by the present alchemist.

But what makes President Anthony Davis care is that Mr. Stuart, according to historical records, he has been dead for more than 300 years, right?There is also his grave in the back garden of the castle.

So, was he suspended animation then, or is he reincarnated now?

It is not surprising that wizards pursue power and immortality. No-Majs without any special abilities also pursue immortality, and this has caused many headaches for the wizarding world.Among the wizards, if there is a wizard who has the ability to come up with the means of immortality, he must have great strength or imagination and creativity that ordinary people cannot match.

No matter what it is, his appearance is of great significance to Greylock School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the entire American wizarding community.

As the headmaster of the largest magic school in North America, he has been overwhelmed by the magic school in the UK intentionally or unintentionally for so many years. The school, just wants to be able to overwhelm that school one day.

Now, the opportunity has come.

Principal Anthony Davis looked at the goblin statue with piercing eyes, and said, "That Lord Stuart, where is it now?"

The goblin statue looked at Principal Anthony Davis with compassion for a fool, and said, "How do I know?"

"Can……"

"Your Excellency Stuart has the authority to teleport in Greylock Castle, and the castle's defensive formation will not guard against him at all. Who can control when and how he wants to come here." The goblin waved his hand and said: " As for expecting him to come forward, it is even more impossible. He didn't even bother to manage the territory back then, and the power was given to others, so how could he care about running the school. You should see what he left for you, remember to do it before September A statue of a cat and leopard, the branch cannot be delayed."

After explaining all the things that should be explained, the goblin statue turned its head, did not move and did not speak.

But it was exhausted. It hadn't said so many words for so many years, and its jaw was a little sore.

It's all because this kid came out of Goblin Academy, so it reluctantly confessed so much.

Although Principal Anthony Davis was a little disappointed, he was not overly frustrated.In any case, since that Lord Stuart gave them the secret room, he obviously cared about the school.

They kept on trying, and maybe someday he'd be back as a professor at Greylock.

Raffaele: No, it was given to the Chamber of Secrets because he took away the cat and leopard statue from the school. Even the funder who ran the school had to pay for it if he wanted to use it for private use.

The author has something to say:

Cat Leopard Academy: Help, someone stole our statue! ! !

Other Statues: Quiet as a Chicken.jpg

Principal & Professor: I frowned, and found that things are not simple.jpg

Although the sport that North America appreciates more is ghost ball, but with the development of the times, Quidditch should still be able to become a sport that the American wizarding world is keen on~
