Hogwarts: The Cat Wizard of the Moving Castle

"Be serious." Bloody Barrow gave him a straight look.

"Hey" Mu En raised his hand: "Don't scare the child. In addition, Barrow, I also need your help."

?

Barrow frowned, not understanding what was going on.

"Professor, tell me who else you want to arrest." Bloody Barrow nodded.

That's all he could think of.

"No, no need." Mu En shook his head: "Barrow, and Peeves, I want to carefully study the causes of your formation, regarding your soul."

"What?!" Peeves flew up from his chair, his hat jumped high, and his hair became like a hedgehog.

Just like the scared scene in Tom and Jerry.

Bloody Barrow found it very noisy and licked his ears.

"Don't worry, it's not the kind of research you think of, just looking for the cause." Mu En explained: "As a reward, I am willing to give you some help in whatever way I can."

Bloody Barrow stared at Mu En for a moment with his empty eyes, and then nodded slightly.

"good."

After getting this answer, Mu En once again turned his attention to Peeves.

At this time, he still looked scared.

As Mu En's eyes fell on him, he couldn't help but tremble again.

"Why are you so afraid of me?" Mu En couldn't help but ask.

Peeves does have respect for most of the professors, and the few professors he dislikes are Trelawney and the like.

But so scared?

This had never happened to Dumbledore.

"I" Peeves faltered.

"I saw you kill a ghost," said Peeves.

"when?"

Mu En herself didn't even know about this.

"Just the year before last, before the holidays, you crushed a ghost alive in the Forbidden Forest."

"Okay." Mu En already knew what Peeves was talking about.

"I didn't crush him to death, he blew himself up." Mu En explained: "I didn't allow him to escape, so -"

"Escape is not allowed?!"

Peeves was even more frightened.

Mu En sighed helplessly, and then waved: "Peeves, this is a deal. If you are so scared again, then we may not be able to continue talking."

Hearing Mu En's words, Peeves thought carefully for a while, then nodded: "I want a gun!"

"Don't you have one?" Mu En looked at him.

That was in 1876. In order to drive this guy out, Rancho Ross Calpe, the then castle administrator, carefully laid a trap, using various weapons as bait that he thought Peeves could not resist, and also prepared a huge The bell-shaped jar was cast with various containment spells, ready to cover Peeves when he walked onto the trap.

But the result is obvious, Peeves easily escaped these traps, and also took possession of the trap consisting of several scimitars, crossbows, a short gun and a small cannon arranged by the administrator.

At that time, in order to vent his dissatisfaction, he randomly shot through the windows, putting everyone's lives in danger, and the castle was evacuated. The three-day standoff ended with Headmistress Eupracia Moore agreeing to sign a contract granting Peeves additional privileges.

So Peeves not only has a gun, but also a cannon and a scimitar, a crossbow and so on.

"That gun is broken." Peeves said quickly. He remembered that thing very closely. It was with those things that he won the 'war' with Hogwarts.

But then, just when he wanted to use that thing to have fun with Hogwarts one day, he suddenly found that the gun was broken.

Of course, he never told anyone about this.

Mu En looked at Peeves and roughly knew what this guy was thinking.

Needless to say, there was no way those guns and cannons could be handed over to this guy intact.

After all, although he is called Peeves, he does many things that go beyond being naughty.

I think those guns and cannons were secretly broken by the school for him.

"Okay." Mu En nodded: "I can give you a gun."

"There are still eighty rounds of bullets." Peeves emphasized, and then he counted with his fingers: "Is eighty rounds enough? No, I want eighty!"

"Do you want to fight World War II?" Mu En looked at him: "I will give you as many bullets as I have, and don't think about anything else."

"Okay." Peeves could only nod. He didn't dare to bargain with Mu En.

"Very good, then the deal is concluded." Mu En looked at Peeves with satisfaction: "Then, come here, come to me, and we will study your existence carefully."

Like a bad uncle.

"When did you appear? Do you still know your first memory?" Mu En asked.

"I've been around since the beginning of Hogwarts." Peeves said proudly: "Except for that dirty hat, no one here is as senior as me."

"Oh, let's put it this way, do you know a lot of Hogwarts secrets?" Mu En said while observing him.

"Of course, for example, the magic classroom on the eighth floor is the work of Rowena. You didn't know this, right?"

"I really don't know about that." Mu En smiled and stretched out his hand: "It seems that you are not an ordinary ghost. Were you called Peeves from the beginning?"

"Well, at first, they called me an Irish leprechaun." Peeves said, "Ahaha, a naughty Irish leprechaun with a lucky gold coin. Yes, I look like one, but I know I'm not called that.

I stressed thousands of times not to give me the name of other creatures.

When facing little girls, I cried and told them not to give me nicknames. When facing boys, I just smeared them with boogers.

Finally, after a hundred years, no one called me an Irish leprechaun anymore. I got the name Peeves. To be honest, I like it. It's a good name. It's unique."

"Stand closer." Muen said, then raised his hand and inserted a claw into Peeves' body.

As if entering water, Peeves' body is the same as a ghost, but it doesn't make people feel cold.

The temperature on his body is even the same as room temperature.

"Ms. Rowena once said that Peeves might be a product of emotions." Barrow said on the side.

Ah, Barrow was actually a person of that era.

It's just that he wasn't in Hogwarts from the beginning.

"The product of emotions?!" Moon looked at him.

"That's right." Barrow nodded: "At that time, Ms. Rowena was studying a magical creature. That creature was a creature that was transformed from the magic power in the body of a wizard after being under high pressure.

She suspected that Peeves was a similar thing, but it was not made of magic."

"Nonsense, nonsense!!" Peeves looked at Barrow, and then stopped under the other's eyes.

"Momo Ran?" Moon looked at Barrow, but only got a shaking head answer.

Although he was also a wizard, he didn't know much magic, and more often he took on the responsibilities of a hunter.

Just like Sir Cadogan, who was seen in the portrait before, that guy was also a wizard, but he didn't take on the responsibilities of a wizard.

This came from the fact that there was no established magic education system in that era. Many spellcasters could only barely do some tricks, or figured out some spells suitable for their professions.

And considering the oppression of spellcasters by the people at that time, it was normal for Rowena to study Obscurus.

Just when Mu En was thinking, Barrow looked at Peeves: "What's wrong? Do you think I'm wrong? You have no past, no memory as a human. Your mind is just full of those damn things. Am I wrong?"

This seemed to touch Peeves' pain. He shouted as if he was going to overturn the entire office.

"Okay, quiet, quiet." Mu En raised his hand.

After a while, Peeves finally calmed down, but it was obvious that he could not control his emotions well, staring at Mu En and Barrow with his eyes bare.

"I want to use a spell to enter your inner self." Mu En said.

"Whatever you want." Peeves waved his hand unhappily.

The next moment, Mu En put two fingers together and tapped Peeves' eyebrows.

At the same time, his consciousness followed and entered the deep consciousness of Peeves.

Just like he entered the deep consciousness of Nagini, it stands to reason that in the inner world, a person's soul will appear.

However, in the deep consciousness of Peeves——

As soon as he entered, Moon was immediately washed by an energy storm.

?

Moon let go of the inner barrier and felt the energy storm.

Suddenly, his mind couldn't help but pop up 'Take off the rubber band of underwear and make a slingshot to shoot Dumbledore's glass. '

'When the little wizards are asleep at night, use the storm spell to wake them all up. '

'Apply a layer of oil to the entire corridor of the school and let them all slip. '

Along with these thoughts, there are also the exaggerated laughter around, hehe, as annoying as the damn canned laughter, and like the whispers in the ears after being eroded in the indescribable worlds that Moon went to.

"Peeves?" Moon floated in the depths of consciousness, calling this name.

Along with his call, the entire consciousness world seemed to have some reflex reactions, and a huge laugh of hahahaha.

"There is no subjective consciousness." Mu En thought about what Barrow said just now.

He had also encountered some consciousness communities, such as a group of mice, their tails were intertwined and tied together, in order to survive, their spirits would be linked together to become the [Rat King].

Or a special magic bee colony, the entire bee colony relies on the interaction speed between pheromones like nerve transmission to form a unique bee colony consciousness.

It seems that the consciousness of Peeves is somewhat similar to this situation.

In order to confirm this answer, Mu En looked at Barrow again.

Barrow was obviously a vigilant ghost. After thinking for a long time, he agreed to Mu En's magic.

And the deep level of Barrow's consciousness was completely different from that of Peeves.

Like a leaky house, the entire consciousness world revealed only dilapidation and decay. Even if you are just in it, you can smell the smell of dust.

But on the other hand, Barrow appeared in this broken space.

"So that's how it is." He looked at Mu En, who now had no blood on his body and his eyes were no longer so empty.

He looked like half a living person.

"This is like the consciousness world of a normal ghost."

"Peeves isn't a ghost." Barrow said, his voice echoing and hollow.

"Hehe." Mu En smiled helplessly. He could see that this guy was very dissatisfied with Peeves.

Perhaps Slytherin, who advocates a sense of control, naturally hates undisciplined people like Peeves.

"Professor, can you do me a favor?" Barrow suddenly said, "No one knows our conversation here, right?"

"Indeed, this is a good place to talk." Mu En nodded, "But you have to be careful. Here, because you are closer to your heart, so what you say is not right."

"What's wrong?"

"Have you drunk?"

"Of course. I understand what you mean." Barrow nodded, "But it doesn't matter. I just want you to ask Helena for me. Has she forgiven me?"

Hearing this, Mu En suddenly.

You killed someone, and you still have to ask others to forgive you?

Well, no wonder he needs to ask this question. If he were the person involved, he probably wouldn't be able to say it himself.

"I've always felt sorry for her. For so many years here, for a thousand years, I have never dared to say a word to her, or even to face her."

Just as Mu En said just now, what he said here is no different from being drunk.

As for what he said later, Mu En didn't listen much.

After leaving the conscious world, Mu En finally looked at Peeves.

"Now there is another crucial question." Mu En said.

If the previous speculation is true, then

"Can you leave Hogwarts?"

Peeves showed a puzzled expression and then shook his head.

"I don't know."

"But I have never had this idea."

As he said, his expression became more and more strange: "Yes, for a thousand years, I have never had this idea. Is this normal?!"

Obviously, this is not normal.

As Peeves thought about it, the answer to Mu En's question just now gradually rose in Peeves' mind for no reason.

"I feel like I'm going to die. I can't go out. Yes, that's it."

"We'll all be like this when we go out." Barrow said calmly: "There are too many wizards in Hogwarts. The magic here is extremely rich and stable. We can only maintain such a long lifespan if we live here. Look outside, where is there such a long ghost-"

"No, it's not!" Peeves interrupted him directly.

"It's not a question of survival or not. I feel like I'll die." Peeves said: "As soon as I go out, I'll die directly."
