Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 134, page 132: What little witch could resist a sparkling crown?

"Hmph, expelled? I'm perfectly fine, aren't I? Who are you trying to scare?"

Not long after leaving the principal's office, Audrey became somewhat hysterical. Her parents were called in and gave her a severe scolding.

No matter the world, asking parents to intervene is always the most damaging tactic for children, and it never fails.

She suffered a great loss this time.

But she was never one to swallow her anger easily.

Expecting a bully to change for the better immediately? You might as well expect a pig to fly; at least in the magical world, the latter is possible.

The two henchmen who were always following her didn't wait for her at all, leaving her all alone.

"Who do you think you are? I'm perfectly fine without you all."

"And what about that...Discipline Group? Pshaw! And that Granger! Alex, you're a complete waste, you can't even beat a second-year student!"

Audrina kept muttering curses the whole way, not even sparing her own brother.

"Just you wait, one day I'll make you pay."

Audrey's face was full of resentment, and the pitted acne scars on her face looked particularly ferocious under the light.

Although the curse has been cured, it won't be restored so quickly; a curse personally cast by Hermione is not so easy to break.

"Hoo hoo."

A sudden gust of cool wind swept through the silent corridor, causing Audrey to shiver involuntarily; the temperature inside the castle was always much lower at night. In a daze, she seemed to sense something following her, making a constant rustling sound.

She stopped and turned to look around. She was the only one in the quiet stairwell. She looked to both sides. The moon outside the window was big and round, but staring at it for a long time made it a little eerie, as if it was not the moon, but a huge eye staring at her.

Audrey unconsciously tugged at her collar, feeling somewhat frightened, and decided to leave as soon as possible.

But she had only taken two steps when that rustling sound started again.

Audrey unconsciously gripped the wand hidden in her sleeve.

Suddenly turned around

Quiet or nothing at all.

"Are you overthinking it? Really, what am I afraid of?"

Audrey breathed a sigh of relief, and just as she was about to turn her head, she heard a very soft laugh in her ear, like a child's voice.

Hehehe

In that instant, Audrey felt a chill run down her spine and her heart race.

Is there really something there?!

Suddenly, Audrey felt a darkness before her eyes, and suddenly, less than an inch from her nose, a face appeared—a human face, a deathly pale face, with its tongue sticking out and its eyes white!

"Ah!!!!" The sudden turn of events startled Audrey, who couldn't help but scream.

"Hahaha"

A burst of laughter erupted, and the pale face transformed into a clown-like doll-like face, its mouth wide open and its round, bright eyes and split corners indicating that it was laughing!

Upon seeing that familiar face, Audrey, who had been terrified, finally realized who it was.

Peeves, the oldest and most unique ghost in Hogwarts, or perhaps the word "ghost" isn't quite right. He's not a pure ghost. Unlike ordinary ghosts who can pass through any matter and have no physical form, he can touch human matter, pick up things, and even hit people. He has a physical form.

"Damn it!"

With a wave of his hand, he cast a spell, which then passed through the other person's body.

"Hey, little witch, you can't hurt me. Why are you out wandering around so late at night instead of sleeping!"

With its short stature, arrogant appearance, and body composed of blue, gray, and white, Peeves floats upside down in front of Audrey.

Audrey immediately understood who the other person was, and then flew into a rage: "You damned ghost, what's it to you?"

She had no liking for ghosts, things that lay between death and life.

But Peeves isn't really a ghost. Rather than calling him a ghost, it's more accurate to say he's some kind of elf; he's an elf from Hogwarts.

"I offered a kind reminder, and you dare to insult Master Pipi!"

Upon hearing Audrey's words, Pippi's expression changed drastically. His previously cheerful demeanor instantly turned into one of extreme anger. His change of expression was faster than flipping through a book. He then pulled out a large lump of dough from behind his back.

"Punishment! Punishment! The disobedient little wizard should be punished!" Peeves shrieked excitedly.

The sticky, wet dough hit Audrina directly, immediately soiling her school uniform.

"Stop! I told you to stop! Are you crazy?"

No one knew what the dough in Pipi's hand was made of, because once it stuck to her, it was impossible to clean, and the dough gave off a strange smell, which greatly annoyed Audrina.

However, Peeves wasn't about to listen to her; this time, he set his sights on Audrey's hair.

Her hair was her life!

"Get out of here!"

Audrey waved her wand again, trying to drive Peeves away, but it was no use at all; the spell passed right through Peeves' body once more.

Most spells don't work on Peeves.

"Grandpa Mischief loves punishing little wizards!"

It was another lump of dough, but this time Audrey dodged it.

Then she actually turned around and ran away.

The spells are ineffective, what else can we do but run?

Waiting for your body to become sticky, wet, slippery, and smelly after being made by the other person?

Hmm? Something seems off?

"Run, run, run fast! Master Mischievous Ghost is coming to get you!"

Mischievous Ghost looked very happy and chased after it, holding up the lump of dough.

"Am I being chased by a ghost? I'm going crazy, absolutely crazy!"

Audrey was furious, her face turning ashen, but she didn't slow down at all.

Fortunately, Peeves isn't without a solution. While most ghosts can pass through walls freely, Peeves can't. He needs to turn the doorknob to open the door to get to another room.

So getting rid of Mischievous Ghost is quite simple, just confuse him.

After hiding in a casually opened storage room, Audrey escaped Peeves' pursuit.

I see you!

As Peeves' cheerful laughter faded into the distance until it could no longer be heard, Audrey finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I opened the door and was a little dumbfounded by the unfamiliar corridor and unfamiliar environment.

I didn't notice where I am now while I was running.

Audrey began looking for her way back to her dorm.

She didn't want to spend the night in a place like this.

"This is absolutely terrible luck!"

Audrey was extremely unhappy.

Try to go back the way you came and find a way back.

Suddenly, she felt something flash before her eyes. Audrey immediately turned her head, and in the dim light of the castle, something glittering in the corner caught her attention.

"Huh? What's that?"

Upon closer inspection, one discovers a crown, its center inlaid with dazzling gemstones, lying on the ground, forgotten by someone.

"How lucky, I found it, so it's mine."

Audrey picked it up without thinking.

Holding it in her hands and examining it closely, the beautiful crown seemed to exude endless allure, deeply attracting Audrey.

"It's so beautiful."

Audrey stared intently at the gem in the center, saying this in a daze.

What little witch could resist a sparkling crown?

Moreover, this is no ordinary crown.
