Harry Potter: Gambit Awakening Magic System

With a series of operations, all traps and defensive measures are ready.

Professor Settima Victor also informed Dumbledore of the divination results. In addition to the Forbidden Forest and the Black Lake, there was another result. It was a concept map, just a cuboid.

"The cuboid, what does this represent?"

In the principal's office, Dumbledore put his hands on his forehead, thinking about what this cuboid was.

"Ask the ghosts and portraits for help."

Dumbledore thought of a few possible points, but he was not sure and did not have enough manpower.

"Barrow!"

"What's the matter, Professor?"

Bloody Baron just emerged from the Divination Classroom, holding Peeves in his hand.

"Peeves just threw glass balls in the classroom and broke two windows!"

Bloody Balor glared at Peeves fiercely, as if he wanted to cut him into pieces.

"Let's put the matter of Peeves aside for now. I need your help. To be precise, the school needs your help. Invisible and silent imprisonment!"

Dumbledore took out his wand and used the Confinement Charm to trap Peeves aside, and used the Silent Charm to block his voice to prevent him from shouting nonsense.

Invisible Confinement is a spell developed by Grindelwald for ghosts. Ordinary confinement spells cannot imprison spirits like ghosts.Based on the characteristic of the ghost being incorporeal, Grindelwald added a little bit of soul fragments into the spell to give it the "invisible" property.

Especially poltergeists like Peeves, which are not souls after death, but a kind of energy.

Grindelwald speculated that as more soul fragments were injected into it, it would even have the ability to imprison the souls of living people, but this was a very dangerous spell and he had not tried it.

"You said."

Bloody Barro crossed his arms, crossed his legs, and sat in the air and asked.

"Voldemort planned to attack Hogwarts. According to Professor Victor's divination, one of the attack directions is a very vague rectangular shape. I guess it may be the secret passage of Hogwarts, but I don't know where he is. "

Dumbledore told the Bloody Barrow the results of Professor Victor's divination and his own speculation, and then continued:

"I don't think there are any more secrets than you ghosts, so I wanted to ask you if you know the secret passage about the cuboid."

Bloody Barro touched his chin and said thoughtfully:

"I only know one secret passage, but it's not a cuboid. Peeves may know it. After all, he's the only one who keeps making noises in the castle every day."

Peeves heard the conversation between the two and kept nodding. He obviously knew some clues. Although he was trapped in place, he could still nod his head and so on.

"I can let you out, but you have to promise not to run around after you regain your freedom, otherwise I will kick you out of Hogwarts and then imprison you in the desert!"

Dumbledore blew his beard and glared, making a fierce expression, and waved his wand to warn Peeves.

When Peeves nodded, he withdrew the spell.

Peeves, who had regained his freedom, shook his head. The feeling of being imprisoned must be uncomfortable, especially for his active personality.

"Okay, now you can tell us!"

Dumbledore said.

"You have to promise me three things, or I won't tell you!"

Bloody Baron grabbed Peeves and said threateningly:

"Be honest, or I will make it difficult for you to move here!"

Peeves shrank his neck in fear and looked at Dumbledore for help.

"Okay, let him go Barrow. I agree, but not too much!"

Dumbledore stood up to smooth things over, not because he wanted to agree, but because he was afraid that Peeves would be dishonest and make up lies to deceive him.

"Deal! First, I ask for the Christmas tree to be made by me every Christmas!"

"Okay, but you can't do those unpleasant things. You can make other decorations as you like!"

"Very good. Secondly, I want to attend the freshman banquet every year!"

"Oh no, I'm afraid this won't work. You know, we want to leave a good impression on the new students and not scare them!"

Dumbledore shook his head and refused. Peeves had made this request not once or twice.

"That won't work. I won't help you if you don't agree!"

Peeves turned his head, pretending to be angry, but when he turned his head, he happened to see the cold face of Bloody Baron, staring at him with empty eyes.

Peeves quickly changed direction. Although he was afraid of Bloody Baron, this was his most desired wish at the moment.

"Well, I can allow you to appear at the end of the freshman banquet. If you don't agree, forget it."

Dumbledore took a step back, as far as he could bear.

"That's... okay. Thirdly, I demand the right to be the first to throw away the stale bread in the kitchen!"

Although the second wish failed, the conditions given by Dumbledore were acceptable, so Peeves proposed a third condition.

"This privilege was approved by Principal Eupracia Moore in 1876..."

Dumbledore said speechlessly, but he seemed to remember something and hurriedly said:

"I remembered it wrong. This was not mentioned in the records at that time. I approved it!"

Peeves said angrily:

"Damn it! I actually forgot. I haven't swam in the boys' bathroom for a long time! That doesn't count. I'll mention it again!"

Dumbledore gave Bloody Barrow a look, and the latter grabbed Peeves and said:

"I testify that there is no such item in the record, so the third item counts. Do you have any opinion?"

Bloody Baron stared at Peeves with his empty eyes, and the silvery blood stains on his body made him look extremely terrifying.

"Then... maybe I remembered it wrong. Well, I'll tell you the secret passage!"

Under the gaze of Bloody Baron, Peeves trembled and said:

"The rectangular secret passage may be the disappearing cabinet, in the restricted corridor on the fourth floor! I saw a figure appear inside last week, but he disappeared inside again soon!"

After that, Peeves fled here quickly, and he felt very frightened staying with Bloody Balor.

"Is it the Vanishing Cabinet? If it is really there, can we directly enter the manpower deployed by Voldemort and others through there?"

Moody said in surprise, Dumbledore came to allocate defense manpower after knowing the clue.

"No, what if the disappearing cabinet is connected to their base camp? There is no point in doing this. We just need to guard that area!"

No one knows where the disappearing cabinet leads, because no one in history would experiment on themselves. What if they were sent directly to an extremely dangerous place?For example, in places such as volcanoes and glaciers, accidents can easily occur if one cannot apparate.
