HP: Wizards at Hogwarts

Chapter 101 The Doll Myrtle

"Could it be that—"

"Eleven, don't you like girls?"

"That's true," Mom said, her voice full of teasing. "You're still so young, you probably haven't figured it out yet!"

Elaine: "————"

joke!

My combined mental age from both my past and present lives is much greater than yours!

(Although Myrtle has been dead for decades, her mental age remains that of a 16-year-old.)

That's what I think, but it's not easy to say it out loud.

Elivin simply changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this anymore."

"Myrtle, I've recently learned a new spell that might give you a physical form. Would you like to give it a try?"

"Does it have a physical form?"

Myrtle was stunned. "How is this possible? I'm a ghost! How can a ghost have a physical form?"

"Of course!"

Elaine's face was filled with excitement: "The 'ghosts of this world' are essentially the lingering remnants of wizards' unwillingness to die, catalyzed by certain special circumstances."

"And my enchantment magic can attach this abstract concept to an object or a person, making them appear no different from ordinary people."

In the Fairy Tail world, enchantment magic has been used to imbue swords, dolls, and even human bodies with "personalities".

The "ghosts of this world" are more concrete than "personalities," and their success rate is only higher.

"How about it, want to give it a try?"

Faced with Elaine's invitation, Myrtle immediately felt nervous.

Half an hour later.

In Elaine's dorm room.

The warm orange light diffused throughout the room, making the large dormitory feel incredibly cozy.

The rest area.

Elaine, dressed in pajamas, leaned back on the sofa, sipping a steaming cup of black tea.

"This is a plush toy I bought at a children's toy store in London. I originally planned to give it as a Christmas gift, but now I'll give it to you as your body."

"Are you able to adapt?"

Not far in front of me, across a tea table, stood a 1.5-meter-tall polar bear plush toy.

This doll is none other than Myrtle!

Myrtle ultimately succumbed to Elaine's temptation and agreed to the "soul-binding" magic experiment.

So Elaine imbued her soul into the polar bear plush toy.

From this moment forward, Myrtle has become the doll Myrtle!

The polar bear plush toy is 1.5 meters tall, about the same height as Myrtle before she died, or maybe a little shorter. It is soft all over and has a great feel to it. Its eyes and nose are made of black plastic, its mouth is a black line, and it has two big, round ears on its head. It also has a red scarf around its neck, making it look cute and adorable.

The doll, Myrtle, looked down at her current state.

She first touched her head and body up and down, then raised her hands and waved them back and forth, clapping her hands to make a soft "papapa" sound. She jumped around in place and then walked around in all directions.

The furry doll's face was filled with disbelief.

"Merlin's underwear!!"

"I actually got inside this doll!"

"That's incredible!"

"This has never happened before!"

The doll, Myrtle, excitedly ran around the room.

Touch the sofa and feel its softness; smell the black tea and savor its aroma.

"Now I can not only see and hear, but I can even touch and smell them!!"

"Oh, right, I can still talk."

"That's strange. This doll clearly doesn't have any human organs, so how did I manage to do all this?"

"Okay, that doesn't seem to matter anymore!"

"The most important thing now is that I finally feel alive again!"

"Eleven, thank you so much!!"

Tao Jinniang's voice sounded incredibly excited and thrilled.

Even though the doll's expression remained unchanged, Elaine could almost see her grinning.

"As long as you like it."

"Would you like me to get you another pair of glasses? Perhaps that would make you feel more alive."

"Absolutely not!"

The doll, Myrtle, immediately screamed, "When I was alive, I was always laughed at because of those glasses! I don't want to become a doll and have to wear them again!"

As she spoke, she made a move as if to pounce on Elaine.

However, perhaps because she suddenly transformed from a ghost into a polar bear doll, Myrtle misjudged the force and only managed to thrash less than half a meter before she—the whole bear—fell to the ground, her nose making intimate contact with the ground.

"oh-!!"

"My body feels so heavy—"

"I almost forgot, I'm not a ghost anymore, I have a body now!"

"Are dolls really that bad at jumping?"

"It hurts so much!"

The doll Myrtle got up from the ground, touched her nose with her paw, but suddenly stopped: "Huh? I clearly fell down, but it doesn't hurt at all?!"

Elaine's lips twitched.

"Of course!"

"Your body is currently just a doll; although it has the sense of touch," it cannot feel pain.

"Even if this doll is torn to shreds, you won't get hurt."

Myrtle's voice immediately brightened with joy: "Sounds pretty good?!"

"It might not be that good."

Elaine looked at her and said quietly, "If the doll gets torn, it needs to be repaired, but I don't know how to sew."

"I reckon there aren't many people in the entire Hogwarts who know how to sew dolls with a needle and thread."

"Hagrid seems to know a little bit; perhaps you'd like to have that big guy sew up your body?"

Myrtle suddenly looked up: "Hagrid? You mean that simple-minded, pitiful big guy? Uh—maybe never mind."

"Then you must remember to cherish this body you have now!"

"By the way, I think you already know this without me reminding you, right? Dolls are not only afraid of sharp blades, but also of fire and water."

A sharp blade can tear the doll's body apart;

Fire can easily burn the doll;

If the doll gets wet, it will become heavy and cumbersome.

These things are the natural enemies of the Myrtle doll!

"I know, thank you for reminding me!"

That night, Myrtle slept soundly on the sofa in Elaine's dorm room, a sleep she hadn't had in a long time.

Over the next few days, Elaine conducted several more experiments on the Myrtle doll.

The first experiment was on energy intake.

Upon observation, it appears that Myrtle is now just like when she was a ghost; she doesn't need to eat or consume any energy.

Secondly, there were magical experiments.

Elaine wanted to see if Myrtle could use magic now, so he generously lent her another wand.

The experiment yielded surprising results: the Myrtle doll could actually use magic!

However, the spells she cast were very weak, and the success rate was extremely low because the wands were incompatible.

But this was enough to make the two of them overjoyed.

Immediately afterwards, Elaine imbued some of his magic into the doll Myrtle, to see if there would be any other changes.

This time, the experimental results were even more surprising.

The success rate and effectiveness of the Myrtle Doll's spellcasting have been significantly improved!

Not only that, she can also use a little bit of wind magic without a wand, with a wind force equivalent to a fan on its lowest setting.

Judging from the magical fluctuations, it was magic belonging to the Fairy Tail world.

Elaine believes this is most likely because the Myrtle doll uses her own magic when casting wind magic, and this magic is limited in quantity and will be gone once it's used up.
