The Big Boss Behind Hogwarts Chapter 37

"It was one morning, and the stone statues in the castle moved without warning! As if they were alive, we are sure that they were not under any control or order.

The most unexpected thing is that the stone statue can speak! Don't look at me like that, I don't know what they're talking about, and I've never heard that language.

According to Nick, Peeves was playing a prank on Gryffindor students at the time, and when he saw the statue was dispatched, he yelled like crazy and flew through every part of the castle, uh, not including the secret room . "Barrow glanced at Moriarty and said cautiously.

Moriarty didn't care about Barrow's expression, he urged, "Go on."

"The last time we saw Peeves was when he locked himself in an empty classroom, and Argus Filch tried to kick him out, but when he entered that classroom, he seemed to see something horrific. , stumbled and ran away.

When we were wondering, not only the stone statues, but also the figures in the murals danced in unison! Their dances are different, but they seem to be dancing to the same music?

Later, the armor in the castle also came to life, more real than the stone statue! Because we saw glowing eyes through the gaps in the helmets, I admit we were freaked out.

But the portrait on the fresco tells us that the pen of acceptance wrote your name on the book of admission, and what happened seems to be logically explained..."

Barrow's words were interrupted by Moriarty: "Wait a minute, who is that person on the fresco? Why did I tell you that my name was written down."

"I know what you're thinking, but there is no doubt about this detail!" Barrow shook his head: "Afterwards, dozens of ghosts of us got together to discuss this matter, and I know you came back because Merlin's portrait told me My, Nick knows you're back because Sir Cadogan's portrait told him..."

"Okay, please continue."

"The next thing is what happened to our ghosts, I think you should know," Barrow said slowly: "The ghosts are very special, they have a strong unwillingness or fear of death, and an incomparable sense of life. A soul body born only by desire.

The ghosts who can return to Hogwarts all have great affection for this castle, so when we know that you, the descendant of Slytherin, are coming back, we are happy, for ourselves and for the castle. "

Barrow glanced at the castle and changed his tone: "Listen, this is not over! You would never know that Peeves, who locked himself in an empty classroom for three days and three nights, came out, and he called Us, but most of the ghosts didn't go.

Only Nick went, he told us: Peeves not only summoned ghosts, but also a large number of portraits, stone statues, armor! They seem to have reached some kind of agreement.

Peeves invited the ghosts to join in through Nick! What is the purpose of their small group? Peeves says we'll find out.

I am sure that Peeves has become different from before. He used to be afraid of me, maybe because I never play pranks...

But now he's not afraid of me - even though he still shivered when he saw me, I'm sure he wasn't afraid of me, just to maintain a habit. "

After Barrow finished speaking, he let out a long breath and closed his eyes.

"I understand." Moriarty nodded, the centaurs' divination, Hogwarts' changes, the moonless horoscope, all because of his arrival!

"That is to say, the 'we' in your mouth includes stone statues, murals, armor, ghosts, and Peeves, right!"

"You're right, Peeves is not a ghost. It also includes the Sorting Hat, the Pen of Acceptance, and the Book of Admission!" Barrow said succinctly: "In addition, you don't have to ask the stone statues or murals anymore, they won't say anything. Yes, this has been verified by Headmaster Dumbledore."

"I was about to ask what the professors and students were doing at the time. It's impossible for them not to know that such a big thing happened in the castle." Moriarty looked at Barrow seriously.

Barrow said casually: "Students use this as a talk, professors are helpless, the principal and vice-principal have the right to command the stone statue to fight, but obviously, they are shocked and puzzled by our carnival.

In fact, since the establishment of Hogwarts, apart from celebrating the victory of the war, there has not been such a carnival. "

Moriarty saw that Barrow was lacking in interest, and said, "Okay, thank you Barrow, I got very useful information from your words."

Barrow stared at him: "So, can you tell me your choice? Open the secret room? Or..."

"Open the Chamber of Secrets!" Moriarty said firmly, as if there was no room to turn around.

Barrow gritted his teeth and said, "Very good! You still choose to open the Chamber of Secrets! I will tell Headmaster Dumbledore! No, we can imprison you!"

"Detain me?" Moriarty shook his head gently: "It's not a good idea, Barrow, I said to you calmly for the last time: After opening the secret room, there will be no tragedy."

After speaking, Moriarty turned around and left. He returned to the castle and looked for Peeves everywhere!

The result was nothing. In the middle of the night, Moriarty did not sleep in the middle of the night for the first time and slipped out of the common room.

Walking to a floating ladder, he stopped and quickly hid behind a pair of armors on both sides of the corridor.

The armor was cold and hard, and there was no trace of anger. If it wasn't for Barrow to tell the truth, Moriarty would have a hard time believing that the armor would come alive.

After a while, a small figure walked in front of the floating ladder. He looked left and right, as if he was looking for something.

It's Jericho.

Moriarty walked behind him and coughed softly.

Even though Moriarty tried his best to keep his voice soft, Jericho was still taken aback, and he turned his head sharply, almost hitting Moriarty.

"Oh no! Mr. Moriarty..." Jericho touched his nose in a guilty conscience.

"Tell me why you're following me?" Moriarty looked at Jericho with interest.

At first, Jericho wanted to prevaricate, but after seeing the smile and deep meaning in Moriarty's gray eyes, he raised his hand in surrender.

He smiled helplessly and said, "I can't hide anything from you... Lilith said that you might have had a change recently, let us pay more attention to you, it's me tonight, Keith tomorrow night, and then Ralbo.

Just now, I noticed that you slipped out, so I came over to have a look. Everyone just cares about you, sir. "

"Okay, then come with me." Moriarty crossed him and walked up the floating ladder, with Jericho following behind for no apparent reason.

Moriarty was searching around the castle. Jericho wanted to ask him what he was looking for, but he was afraid of attracting Filch.

The two walked all the way to the third floor. A shadow appeared. Jericho covered his mouth and shouted, "Oh no! It's Peeves! Come on!"

He turned around and was about to run, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Moriarty striding towards Peeves!

Jericho couldn't make up his mind, but he still followed after gritted his teeth.

When Moriarty approached, Peeves let out a deep laugh: "Hehe, the little snake that crawled out of the snake's nest, here—"

"Don't look like that, Peeves," Moriarty interrupted, "Tell me what your agreement is?"

Peeves instantly changed his tone: "How did you think of seeing me late at night?"

Hearing this magnetic voice~www.mtlnovel.com~ Jericho looked at Peeves like a ghost.

Moriarty raised the corner of his mouth: "I can't find you during the day, so I want to try it at night. It's obvious."

Peeves glanced at him, circled around him, and said, "You asked me what the agreement is? Before answering this question, I need you to answer me a question - who am I?"

"You? You are a combination of the mind and soul of the Big Four. The Big Four shaped you through an unknown magical transformation." Moriarty's tone became extremely serious, and he expressed his guess.

Peeves continued to circle as if he hadn't heard him. After dozens of seconds, he suddenly burst out laughing!

"Students don't sleep! Students don't sleep and go out to wander! Students don't sleep and come out to fall in love! It's still two boys! Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo~"

He croaked and flew away with a wild laugh. A harsh and sharp voice quickly rang out. Moriarty dragged Jericho, who was still in a daze, and ran to the nearest floating ladder.

"Meow~" Jericho reacted when a cat meow came: "It's Filch's cat! He's coming! Oh, he will definitely catch Professor Snape!"

Fortunately, the corridor was not far from the floating ladder. When Moriarty and Jericho ran up the floating ladder, a staircase leading to the Slytherin common room was already formed.

Moriarty and the two returned to the lounge successfully, and Jericho was still reminiscing about the experience just now.

"It's really exciting, with the floating ladder we can explore the castle without being caught by Filch!" he said, "Should I go to Gryffindor?"

Moriarty waved to him: "Don't talk nonsense, we'll learn the Illusionary Body Charm tomorrow!"
