Hogwarts Raven

Chapter 69: 68: Grab it! Refine it in an instant! [rd update]

Of course Snape wasn't crazy.

He just didn't want to see Ian dividing the loot but unable to do so, so he threw the cloak behind him, turned around and chose a longer route to return to his safe house.

along the way.

Many young wizards saw the gloomy headmaster of Slytherin. No one dared to talk to him or provoke him, because the old bat would kick even the passing toads.

someone said.

No one saw Snape again that day.

Others say.

Snape captured a few disobedient little wizards, restored the evil whipping that was once used in Hogwarts, and conducted inhumane experiments in his office for a whole day.

No matter how full of loopholes and untenable this statement is, it does not prevent it from spreading rapidly, and the Gryffindor students have made an indispensable contribution to this.

They were always happy to tell everyone they met about the increasingly outrageous Snape rumors in vivid detail.

"Have you heard? Snape actually gave extra points to Ravenclaw!"

"What? Is Snape crazy?"

"Snape has finally gone mad! He will definitely kill us all with his evil magic!"

……

The beginning of the rumor.

Perhaps it was just a kind-hearted little wizard who took this Potions class and wanted to express that Snape was not quite consistent with the rumors, but the impression of Snape in the hearts of the young wizards of Hogwarts over the years was too deeply rooted.

Ian might need to take some responsibility for this, but it is obviously unlikely that he would take some responsibility. What does Gryffindor's contribution have to do with him, Ravenclaw?
"Wait for good news from me, I will start making it soon."

After bidding farewell to Aurora, who agreed with his alchemy philosophy, Ian began to explore the Hogwarts Castle. In the first week of school, the courses for the young wizards were not very intense.

One class in the morning, one class in the afternoon, and the rest of the time is free. Perhaps this can be regarded as a tradition, so that the little wizards can have time to discover the secrets of the castle.

As a thousand-year-old castle.

There are many things hidden in Hogwarts that even Dumbledore may not have come into contact with.

Now that Ian has come to this dreamland, how could he not want to explore it carefully, especially the legendary secret passages leading to various places and the Room of Requirement.

"Vera Verto!"

As the saying goes, things are precious only when they are hard to come by. Whenever Ian seizes the right opportunity, he will transform some decorative potted plants. He actually doesn't know whether this violates school rules.

"I think should not be."

Ian didn't play any pranks like the Weasley brothers. He just made the basins more artistic, improving his proficiency while also bringing a bit of Picasso's shock to Hogwarts.

"Oh! Fortunately, I had the money to hire the best painter back then!"

The murals hanging on the walls of Hogwarts are probably the only group affected by Ian's masterpiece. There are portraits of unknown witches covering their eyes in fear in the murals.

“Ma’am, this is art.”

It’s not like Ian’s art hasn’t received all the murals’ love.

A troll who was beating the ballet teacher in the mural temporarily stopped beating the ballet teacher for hundreds of years because he admired Ian's art very much.

It came close to the frame and stared closely at the potted plants outside.

"Trolls actually understand art?"

Ian was very surprised. However, the giant monster in the mural could not speak. It just stared at the potted plants outside, drooling with its mouth open.

"Get out of the way, you."

Walk to this place.

Ian probably knew that he had found the entrance to the Room of Requirement. He had such a deep memory because of the shock that the giant monster in a ballet skirt brought to him when he was a child.

And just as Ian was about to enter.

A white figure emerged silently from an armor suit behind Ian. It was a very short and funny ghost with a broad face, a big mouth and round bright eyes.

It's Peeves.

The naughty ghost of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has existed since the founding of Hogwarts. He loves to create pranks and chaos, and has always made the school and its teachers and students helpless.

Even Dumbledore was troubled by it.

"Look, I'm going to scare you to death!" Peeves suddenly crawled from under Ian's crotch to Ian's front.

"Ah... God's sword has no shadow!"

Ian had been trying hard to recall the detailed steps to enter the Room of Requirement. He was really frightened by the prank ghost that jumped out and played a prank on him.

He subconsciously raised the wand he had been holding in his hand.

A creepy green light flashed slightly.

Fortunately, [Enlightenment of Wisdom] allowed Ian to remain sane, and he promptly switched it into invisible magic, cutting towards the ghost that was close to his face like an invisible blade.

"Wow!! We caught someone stealing the knowledge..."

Peeves was laughing and trying to taunt and scare Ian, but the next moment, he found his body was torn into dozens of pieces.

It hurts!

But no death came.

"what!!!"

The "body pieces" of Peeves that fell to the ground kept squirming, and its head that was split in two was healing again, but the full fear still filled Peeves' mind in an instant.

Make it terrifying.

"Impossible! Impossible! I am an elf! I am an elf!"

"This isn't Snape's Shadowless Sword!"

"What's up with your spell, little brat!"

For the first time in a thousand years, Peeves became the one to be frightened. After its "body" was automatically put together, it wanted to flee far away like crazy.

"So it's you, the troublemaker!"

Ian did not expect that his magic would have an effect on Peeves. He seemed to have realized something and excitedly wanted to verify his guess.

"Still trying to run!"

Ian rushed forward and grabbed Peeves' legs in mid-air.

Yes!

He actually caught the entity!

"It seems that you are not as slippery as the seniors said!" Ian's movements were quick and decisive. He threw Peeves to the ground and started beating him wildly with his fists.

"I'm dying! I'm dying! Let me go, you little bad guy!" Peeves tried to struggle frantically, but he couldn't transform into an illusory form in Ian's hands no matter what.

It cannot be understood.

More and more terrified.

"You want to scare me to death, and you even call me a bad guy. I'll beat you to death!"

Ian is a very vindictive person.

He was almost frightened into committing a serious crime just now.

If he didn't give this mischievous ghost some truly tragic psychological trauma, Ian felt that his thoughts would not be able to come true, and he would definitely be remembered by the other party in the future.

The solution to hatred is simple.

Convince people with reason.

"The flames are blazing!!!"

Ian raised the Truth in his hand.

"It hurts! It hurts! Let me go!"

Peeves' hair was set on fire, and he screamed in fear. As it was almost dinner time, no one on the corridor on the eighth floor could hear him.

"Go to the west office and ask Dumbledore to rescue me!"

It could only send a call for help to the mural on the wall.

just.

The troll who started beating up the ballet teacher again was completely oblivious to what was happening outside the frame.
