a certain scientific harry potter

By the way, Hermione was so angry that she didn't talk to Harry for two days when she learned that Harry rushed to give Luna a set of 'gifts'.

Thanks to Harry's good talk, even bringing Hagrid out as a witness, the girl reluctantly believed it. Harry just wanted to study Luna's eyes.

And during the same period of time, Harry also took his fanboy follower Colin Creevey to visit many teachers at the school, and dug up more information about Lockhart's school days.

For example, Professor Flitwick told Harry that Lockhart once boasted that he would make the Philosopher's Stone before graduation, and that he would definitely become the Minister of Magic in the future; Just trying to make my name known.

Mrs. Hooch also had a big opinion of Lockhart. She told Harry that Lockhart once boasted that he would lead the British Quidditch team to win the World Cup, but he had never been selected for Ravenclaw. academy team.

And after learning that he could not rely on Quidditch to become famous, he actually engraved his name on the Quidditch pitch in 20-foot-long letters...Of course he did receive a lot of attention in the end, and there was no suspense Locked up for a week~

But it was Dumbledore himself who really provided Harry with the final proof!

After learning that Harry had secretly investigated Lockhart, Dumbledore provided him with two ironclad proofs.

In the book "Wandering with Werewolves", Lockhart bragged about how he defeated the werewolves that were raging in Wagga Wagga, Australia, but in fact, this was the achievement of an old Armenian wizard.

And in "Break with the Female Ghost", he claimed that he expelled the female ghost in the Wanlun area of ​​Ireland, but the fact is that the female ghost was driven away by a witch with a hairy chin.

Lockhart relied on his friendly appearance to deceive their stories, and then cast an oblivion spell on them, logically replacing the protagonist of the story with himself.

"I happen to know both of these things. If you need further evidence, Harry, I think I can ask a few old friends who haven't been around for a long time to go to the corresponding place to investigate~"

This was a promise Dumbledore made for Harry. He didn't think Harry was killing Lockhart, but thought it was an act of justice.

Just imagine, if Harry hadn't done this, wouldn't those poor unsung heroes who were robbed of their honor by Lockhart have to suffer unfair treatment all the time while losing their memory?

There is a saying that justice may be late, but it will never be absent, right~

The work of collecting evidence was basically carried out quite smoothly, but Harry didn't plan to turn against Lockhart right now.

He needs to wait until Lockhart gradually reveals more of his idiot nature in his daily teaching.

In his previous life, Harry had seen the madness of some little girls chasing stars and sacrificing their lives to protect their idols. He didn't want to make troubles when he was not ready, and make his relationship with Hermione tense.

In short, everything is calm at Hogwarts at this stage, and nothing major has happened.

Until one day before Halloween, in a separate classroom, Harry caught a glimpse of Peeves who was sullen by himself.

"What's the matter with you, you don't feel very energetic?" After all, he was his little brother, so Harry must be concerned.

"It's Master Granger?" Peeves saw Harry, his expression became agitated at first, but then he became depressed again, "Sir Nick... he thinks I'm not a ghost, so he forbids me to participate in his five hundred years old At the death day party, it was said that the bloody man Baro would block the door that day..."

Peeves kept throwing chalk stubs into the trash can, apparently very upset about it.

"There is such a thing?" Harry raised his eyebrows suspiciously. Sir Nick, the ghost of Gryffindor, has always been a humble and kind person. The other party should not reject Peeves so much because of his status.

"Nick's death day party, many ghosts will go, I want to join in the fun too~" Peeves muttered unhappily.

"I'll go and ask for you, you wait for my news~"

After thinking about it, Harry decided to help Peeves be a lobbyist and ask Nick about the situation.

Chapter 120 IX The Ghost Party Is Boring

The ghost of Gryffindor, Nearly Headless Nick, has a kind personality and an easy-to-count full name.

When Harry found him near the Gryffindor Tower, the Sir Ghost was looking melancholy at the heavy rain outside the window, muttering something regretfully.

"Good day, Sir Nick."

"Mr. Granger? It's an honor to meet you here~"

Hearing Harry's greeting, Nick turned around and took off his hat. He was wearing a very fashionable top hat and was also extremely gorgeously dressed, just like a nobleman in his lifetime.

"I heard that you are going to hold a death-day party on Halloween, so I came here specially to congratulate you." Harry bowed politely, "Also, if possible, I hope you can make an exception and invite Peeves to participate."

"So you're here for Peeves." Sir Nick shook his precarious head, with a hint of bewilderment on his face.

He had been wondering why Harry had come to him, and if it was for Peeves, it would have made sense.

Harry's temperament is widely spread in school, especially the protection of shortcomings, which is basically known to everyone.

"But Mr. Granger, the Deathday party on Halloween is too important to me, I really dare not let Peeves participate." Sir Nick cried sadly, "The Headless Horseman Hunter sent me a reply, saying They can only accept hunters whose head and body are separated. Those like me who are only half an inch away cannot join anyway. I just invited them to my Deathday party, and I want other guests to say good things for me Yes. If Peeves messes around at the party, then I really have no hope~"

"I see."

Hearing what Nick said, Harry immediately understood his concerns.

It's true that Nick can't blame Peeves for rejecting Peeves. In fact, this guy used to act too perversely and always liked to mess around, which caused everyone to publicly boycott.

He has not even been allowed to attend the school's opening banquet until now, which shows how strictly everyone guards against him.

"In addition...Peves is not a ghost, he is fundamentally different from us." Nick continued to struggle, "Only a wizard can become a ghost after death. At the moment of death, we chose to stay in the original place." This is why it exists in the way it is today. But Peeves is different, he is a Sao Ling who was born with the entire Hogwarts, he has no so-called previous life, and it cannot even be regarded as Humanity…"

"I know what you said, but Peeves really wants to attend your death anniversary. Otherwise, I will guarantee him that he will never mess around at the party, so why don't you make an exception and invite him to participate? ' Harry pleaded earnestly.

"This... since you have said so, then I agree." Nick's attitude seemed to soften, but at the same time he made his own request, "But, Mr. Granger, can you come to the party together? I I want you to make sure that Peeves doesn't mess around, and besides... if there are live people participating in my death day party, the headless horsemen may think that I am very avant-garde. You can also help me talk to the captain, Mr. Patrick , let’s just say that I’m usually really scary~”

"Well, thanks to your invitation, I agree~" Harry nodded with a smile.

Compared to going to the Halloween party and looking at the pumpkins that Hagrid secretly planted with the Bloat Charm, Harry thought the ghosts' party might be more interesting.

"Really, that's really great!" Nick laughed excitedly, but at the same time showed a pleading expression, "Mr. Granger, you are also from Ravenclaw College, I don't know if you can represent me." Invite Ms. Gray..."

"Sir Nick, it's not a gentleman's job to make progress~" Harry politely shook his head and refused, "Ms. Gray is impossible to attend such an occasion, especially if you also invited the bloody Slytherin Baron."

Lady Gray is the ghost of Ravenclaw, a rather noble and graceful woman.

There seems to be a story between her and the bloody Barrow. In Hogwarts, they are basically not in the same frame.

"That's right... Then I look forward to your visit. Uh... If possible, I would also like to invite Miss Granger..."

"I'll tell her." Harry nodded in agreement.

Nick seemed to really need supporters, so Harry wouldn't mind helping a little, since Hermione would be interested anyway.

As Harry had expected, Hermione also thought it might be more fun to go to the Deathday party than the Halloween dinner.

"There are real ghosts, who would go to the dinner party to see fake ones~" Hermione said as she rushed to the dungeon where the Deathday Party was held on Halloween.

She is also very curious about the ghost's death day, and she seems to be in high spirits along the way.

But when the party actually took place, Hermione and Harry both regretted it.

Sir Nick's party was really boring.

Hundreds of translucent ghosts floated around in the open space like a dance floor, the sound of a musical saw sounded like cutting bones, and the faint blue candlelight was eerie. In short, everything seemed out of place with strangers.

If that's the case, then Harry can barely accept it, but Sir Nick doesn't seem to have arranged any special programs at the party, he just kept talking about the cause of his death, such as how he was hacked 44 times, It turned out that the head was still attached to the neck or something.

All that was left was to encourage these ghost relatives and friends to help him speak nicely to the Headless Horsemen.

"God... I regret coming here~" Harry shook his head helplessly, took off his robe and put it on Hermione.

"I think so too."

Hermione also took advantage of the opportunity to move closer to Harry. There were too many ghosts in the room, making the temperature very low, and it would be more comfortable to hug a group to keep warm.

But despite the harsh environment, the two did not choose to leave immediately.

As for being entrusted with loyalty, they had to wait for that captain to come and tell him that Sir Nick was scary.

"Master Granger, Miss Granger, I was really wrong this time~" Peeves also had a mournful face, he wanted to come to the party because he thought it would be fun, but he didn't expect that the actual result would be so poor.

And Harry didn't allow him to mess around at the party, which caused Peeves, who was born with ADHD, to suffer~

"Hey, there are two humans here?"

Suddenly, a sharp voice floated over, and Hermione's complexion changed suddenly.

"Let's go! It's Myrtle, and I don't want to talk to her at all!"

Myrtle is a well-known and troublesome ghost, but before Hermione can lead Harry away, the other party has already entangled her directly.

"Hey, isn't this the famous Harry Granger in the school?"

Some pudgy girl ghosts floated over. She clearly had a melancholy face, but she kept winking at Harry. Even the thick glasses couldn't block her obviously greedy body. gaze.

She inserted herself between Harry and Hermione all of a sudden, and approached Harry with a frivolous look: "You are so interested in ghosts, do you know if you are also interested in me?"

Harry raised his eyebrows insignificantly when he saw the situation. He didn't expect that he would be teased by a female ghost.

Chapter 130 Malfoy's death is inappropriate

In all fairness, Harry does have some interest in Myrtle.

But this interest was not because of Myrtle's appearance. Harry was curious about why a wizard apprentice like Myrtle who died before graduation could become a ghost in the end.

Could it be that the condition for becoming a ghost is only to have magical powers, and then, as Sir Nick said, it is enough to choose to go or stay at the time of death?

From this point of view, ghosts are indeed a very strange form of life.

But it's clear that the attacking Myrtle doesn't want Harry to do his academic research in peace.

"Myrtle, we are all Sir Nick's guests, please respect yourself."

Harry took a step back calmly. Myrtle was considered to be one of the bad-behaved ghosts in Hogwarts. Apart from her always crying in the abandoned girls' bathroom on the third floor, she often took the place of the boys. Cheapness is also a big reason, so Harry doesn't want to be taken advantage of by the other party.

"Self-respect... Are you such a person?" Myrtle laughed and approached Harry, without any intention of retreating, "I saw it in the Black Lake that day, you were in the water with those mermaids in the Black Lake Dancing together, I don’t know how much fun I had~”

She pretended that she was a young girl who still had a body, and all she wanted was to lean into Harry's arms, her shoulders also trembled, which seemed to outsiders to be an effort.

"Myrtle, stop talking nonsense here! Now, right now, let me go as far as I can, and don't come here to pester Harry again!!"

This series of actions of Myrtle naturally irritated Hermione, and the high school girl who didn't want to talk to her just now directly criticized Harry angrily, and at the same time pressed her back tightly to Harry's chest, there was not even a gap I don't want to leave it to the ghost in front of me.

"That's right!" Peeves, who had been depressed all night, finally found some fun, and pointed at Myrtle's nose and cursed viciously, "You've been looking so ugly since 50 years ago! Fat woman, crybaby , full of acne..."

"Peves, you're going too far."

"Anyway...Anyway, you'd better stay away! Master Granger is Miss Granger's concubine, how can you get your hands on it?" Hearing Harry's cold snort, Peeves shivered unconsciously. , but still finished the make-up with a smirk.

"Peeves, stop talking nonsense!"*2

Peeves' words successfully caused the two of Hahe to explode at the same time, and Myrtle even let the water go on the spot and began to cry loudly.

Fortunately, this farce came and went quickly. The twelve ghost horses flashing from the wall galloped to the center of the field, and the Headless Horseman Hunters finally arrived.

There is one thing to say, although Harry promised to help Nick talk, but the difference between Sir Nick and these ghost knights is really not a little bit.

Patrick, the captain of the Headless Horseman, is a burly and cheerful ghost. The action of jumping off the horse with his head between his legs immediately attracted the attention of all the ghosts, and he made a big show in front of Nick.

"Oh, is this a living person?" Patrick threw his head directly at Harry's feet, "You guys will come to this kind of party?"

"We were threatened by Sir Nick," Harry said with a frightened look, "You know, he's really scary~"

"That's right, Sir Nick is terrible." Hermione also hurriedly chimed in.

"Haha! All right, I know he told you to say that." However, Patrick's head had already seen through everything.

There is no way~

Harry and Hermione smiled awkwardly, and at the same time apologized to Nick in their hearts, and chose to leave immediately.

Their mission has been completed. As for whether the Headless Horseman Hunters is willing to play with Nick, that is not something Hahe can control.

"Sir Nick, I don't think it's necessary for you to blend into a circle that doesn't respect you that much."

But before leaving, Harry still gave Nick a little mention.

"This...Mr. Granger, Miss Granger, anyway, thank you for coming today."

Seeing the headless horsemen who had completely snatched away his guests, a trace of sadness appeared on Sir Nick's face, and he seemed to feel that Harry's words were indeed somewhat reasonable.

But Harry has no time to care about Nick now, because he is in the corridor of the basement, searching for something tensely!

"Tear...Kill!"

The previous voice appeared again, and it was clearer than last time!

"It's time to kill..."

"Not good!" Harry, who had a bad premonition, rushed out of the corridor at full speed, and continued to run upwards following the guidance of the voice.

Something must have happened!

Harry didn't think it was just talk when the bleak, menacing voice said it was going to kill.
