Chapter 1911 Peeves' Words

It is obviously not easy to restore something that has been destroyed to its original appearance; and it is even more difficult to restore it to be exactly the same as the original.

For Maca, the former may be able to barely do it, but as for the latter...

"I always feel... something is missing."

He walked in the deserted corridor, looking at the familiar but unfamiliar classrooms, he couldn't help muttering to himself.

"Is it because there are fewer people?"

Since it was completely rebuilt according to the remaining memories in my mind, this "new" Hogwarts castle is at least superficially no different from the past - every floor tile under the feet, every line of the wall Even if Maca uses the Pensieve to retrieve memories for comparison, he will definitely not find the slightest difference in the texture, and even the inclination angle of each book on the bookshelf.

However, not to mention whether there is a difference between human beings or not, just the large number of ancient and modern magic spells originally attached to every corner of the entire castle cannot be recovered by Maca.

"Oh, these stairs should move by themselves."

Slowly wandering to the vicinity of the stairs of the castle, Maca raised his head and looked at the hanging stone steps without supports, and frowned slightly.

The ever-changing staircase was designed and built by Rowena Ravenclaw himself, and many very subtle and delicate magic techniques were used in it.

And now, if Maca is required to restore this group of movable stairs extending in all directions... I have to say, it is not very difficult to achieve that effect, but it is still difficult to make those complicated magic stairs keep running for thousands of years. If there is no failure, this is not a job that can be done in ten days and a half months of research.

Maca stood at the bottom of the stairs, looked up at them and gestured a few times, finally shook his head - he obviously didn't have the time to mess with such somewhat insignificant things right now.

"Maka, I want to visit the greenhouse...can you go with me?"

Suddenly, Willie, who had been following behind him, asked softly.

"Greenhouse?" Maca paused for a moment, then nodded, "Well, that's fine!"

As he said, he was about to walk back with Willy, but at the moment he turned around, he suddenly felt a slightly unusual but quite familiar wave passing over him.

"Wait first."

After saying a word to Willie, he turned around again and raised his head to glance at it. Immediately afterwards, he suddenly stretched out his hand to grab it lightly, and then pulled back as if he was grabbing something.

The next moment, he pulled out a white and somewhat transparent phantom out of thin air.

"Oh... who is it? What's going on? Where am I? Eh? Isn't this McClain? Oh, and the little dumb guy with white hair..."

The phantom struggled a few times in Maca's hand, but found that it couldn't break free, so it simply stopped moving. However, its mouth was not idle at all, it was still chattering non-stop.

"You've become like this, can't you just shut up and say a few words less?" Makati slipped its funny, slightly blurred collar and said, "Peeves."

"It's because everything is like this, so I want to take this opportunity to say a few more words... Oh! How do you know this, you little brat!"

Peeves wobbled its short arms and legs a few more times, then stuck out its tongue and made a face at Macca, unable to calm down at all.

However, no matter how noisy and mischievous it is, it can no longer hide the weakness that comes from the root. If Maca hadn't taken the initiative to help it condense its shape, it would hardly even be able to maintain its self-awareness right now.

In the final analysis, Peeves is just a spirit monster born from the spiritual energy of teachers and students of all ages.

"Peves?" Seeing this, Willie couldn't help leaning over to look at it, "Long time no see."

"Oh, little mute, so you can talk! Haha..."

"I'm not dumb." Willie pursed her lips.

"Okay!" Peeves curled his lips, "I see, little mute."

Maca watched it and Willie bickering there, thinking about it, and suddenly realized a possibility—perhaps, it was the "former alumni" who lived here for a period of time that made it regain the slight fluctuation. And before that, it probably disappeared because Hogwarts was empty.

"I told you, I'm not dumb."

"Didn't I say that too? I know, you little white-haired mute!"

Probably because even Peeves himself gradually realized that he really didn't have the strength to play tricks like before. He still panted slightly and gave up trying to make Willie angry.

Unexpectedly, after taking a few more breaths, he suddenly turned to look at Maca and said:

"Unruly McLean... You better let it go! Don't waste your energy anymore... Peeves is not afraid of death, and he won't die... Instead of just facing you three guys in this empty castle Talking, it's better to have a good night's sleep."

"How about I send you to the boat? The students and the professor are all there now." Maca thought for a while.

However, seeing it, he immediately shook his head without hesitation.

"Peves is the Peeves of Hogwarts Castle, not the Peeves of the ship!"

"Well," Maca looked at it for a while, and finally nodded, "It's also...then you...wait a little longer!"

After the words fell slightly, Maca loosened his hand holding it, and then watched it quickly begin to fade away as if it was about to melt into the air.

"...Boy, let's end all this soon! Peeves is not afraid of anything, except for being left alone... This is too...too lonely."

Hearing the last words that echoed faintly in the empty stairwell, Maca was startled, and then habitually raised his hand to rub his forehead. Then, he turned around and looked at Mr. Blois who was standing a little far away, and patted Willie on the shoulder again, saying:

"Let's go! Aren't you going to the greenhouse? Then go and have a look!"

To be honest, Peeves' last words really moved Maca a bit—yes, although as long as the teachers and students are still there, any place can be "Hogwarts". However, this is too "lonely".

After turning his head back slightly again, Maca took Willie and walked towards the hall step by step.

Outside the castle, the weather is still very beautiful. Looking up, the sky is clear and blue.
