Hogwarts, where the stars shine

It was with some regret that Mesa's month-long confinement punishment came to an end.What ended with it was his first trace of his origins.

However, life is always like this, there are regrets of one kind or another, and it is destined not to be smooth sailing.These regrets will gradually fade over time and eventually become a thing of the past.

Just like the lingering coldness in the Slytherin dormitory, it takes students time to adapt.

When school first started, Mesa's excitement was palpable, even though the Slytherin dungeons seemed like mysterious underwater shipwrecks.Because he has a place to live, he no longer has to be homeless and live on the street.

But when the excitement subsided, Mesa, who was still in the air, felt worried again. He was worried that he would suffer from rheumatism due to the dampness in the dungeon.

Mesa didn't want to be like Filch and become the weather forecaster at Hogwarts.

Now that more than a month has passed, Mesa no longer worries about what is there and what is not. He has already adapted to the dark and cold common room.Mesa loves the sparkling waves outside the window, and listening to the sound of the lake lapping at night is a rare relaxation.

And since Marcus Flint, no one has disturbed Mesa's purity.As for Lucian Bol and Perikin Derek, the two immediately moved out of the dormitory after they recovered and were discharged from the hospital.

The two of them were crying and shouting to leave, but they couldn't stop them.Even if they were sleeping in the cold corridors and on narrow armchairs, Bol and Derek no longer wanted to be crowded under the same roof with Mesa.

Nothing else, just one word - fear.

From that day on, Slytherin's three-person dormitory became Mesa's private residence, and he lived alone.

Less than two months after the school started, I already had my own independent space in the huge school, a lake-view room at the bottom of the Black Lake, and a bicycle!

After searching through Hogwarts with a lantern, which other student has the same treatment as Mesa?

Even those students whose families are rich and powerful, or whose father is a school manager, aren't these students still living in dormitories?

Among the hundreds of students at Hogwarts, Mesa Black is the only one.

There were no disturbing flies around him, and there was no worry about not having enough clothes to eat or having enough to eat. Mesa had not lived such a comfortable life for a long time, and his bad life seemed to be really getting better.

On Halloween Eve, Mesa woke up in the warmth of his bedroom. He woke up very early every day.

In the corner of the four-poster curtained bed stood a large glass bottle, in which burned a bright blue bellflower flame.It is this magical flame that exudes warmth that dispels the coldness of late autumn.

As soon as Mesa walked out of the common room after finishing packing, she smelled the sweet and tempting smell of roasted pumpkin coming from the corridor, and the whole school was enveloped in a festive atmosphere.

The auditorium was newly decorated, with dark clouds rolling on the magic ceiling, thousands of bats flying on the walls and ceiling, and black spider web decorations hanging everywhere...

Rubeus Hagrid also specially prepared pumpkins. During the dinner, students will see the oversized jack-o'-lantern that Hagrid is proud of.

Hogwarts does not need to deliberately prepare ghosts and ghosts that are essential for Halloween. There are plenty of ready-made ghosts in the castle.

Whether it's Nick who is almost headless or a fat monk who looks kind-hearted, isn't this more realistic than the children's costumes?

Among the many ghosts in Hogwarts, the ghost of Slytherin House, Bloody Barrow, is undoubtedly the most terrifying.

Even for a ghost, Barrow looked too pale, withered and taciturn.The robe on his body was covered with silver blood stains, and he also wore a pair of heavy shackles, as if he was spending a long time after death to wash away his sins.

Most people in the school are very afraid of Barrow, not only the students in various houses, but also other ghosts, especially the troublesome Peeves.

Peeves, who likes to play pranks by nature, is not afraid of anything. He dared to attack the school with a small cannon, forcing the then principal to sign an agreement with him. However, he did not dare to stab the school in front of Bloody Baron.

Whenever Peeves caused any trouble, or played tricks on passing students, as long as a student (ghost) ran to find the Bloody Balor, Peeves would curse and flee quickly.

It was precisely because of Bloody Baron's intimidation that the Slytherin students narrowly escaped this morning.

The students were enjoying a delicious breakfast in the auditorium. Peeves didn't know what style of smoking he had. He laughed wildly and flew around in the auditorium, knocking over the soup on the long table and splashing the soup all over the students along the way.

On the morning before Halloween, Peeves was raging like a storm in the Great Hall, with frightened screams and angry roars everywhere.

It wasn't until Principal Dumbledore and a group of professors hurried over that the out-of-control situation was brought under control, and Peeves finally calmed down and stopped teasing innocent students.

The students rushed out of the door like rescued hostages.

He was afraid that if he was slower, he would fall behind others and be detained in the auditorium again by Peeves, who had a bad personality.

Although the Slytherin students were the least teased by Peeves, the snakes were also running away from the scene.Mesa, who was mixed in the crowd, felt that he didn't even need to lift his feet, and the crowded flow of people could take him out of the auditorium.

Suddenly, Mesa seemed to have arrived in the largest community in Asia, experiencing first-hand the desperate congestion at the subway station during the morning rush hour.

Protecting the delicate Lilia Shafiq beside them, the two of them left the chaotic auditorium without touching the ground, then turned and walked up the marble stairs to the school library.

Because it was still early and due to the chaos caused by Peeves, the library seemed empty in the morning.This allowed Mrs. Pince to keep her vulture-like gaze on Mesa.

In order to prevent the tragedy of being kicked out of the library from happening again, Mesa did not dare to take out his second-hand textbooks. Instead, he borrowed Lilia's belongings to complete the homework assigned by the teachers.

As the sun outside the window gradually rose, the number of students in the library gradually increased, and Mrs. Pince also became busy.

When the chubby Sean Hart came to the library, Lilia, who had been depressed for a long time, opened up her chatterbox and asked quietly: "What happened to Peeves today to make such a big fuss all of a sudden?"

"A senior asked the fat monk, but the monk didn't know why Peeves was so crazy today." Sean Hart shook his head and told Lilia what he knew.

Lilia, who couldn't get an answer, turned to Mesa.

Although Mesa didn't get along well with the students, he maintained a good relationship with the ghosts in the school and was even able to chat with the taciturn Barrow.

Sean Hart on the side also turned his attention to Mesa, but his eyes were a little evasive, as if he was afraid of Mesa.

"Look what I'm doing, I'm not a know-it-all at Hogwarts, how can I possibly know what Peeves is thinking!" Mesa said, he also lowered his voice when speaking.

Lilia's delicate face was filled with questions, as if she was puzzled by Peeves' destructive behavior today.She said suspiciously: "I always feel that something is not right. Although Peeves is annoying, he rarely goes so far."

"What's so strange about this? Maybe someone made him angry!" Sean Hart explained.

As he spoke, he gave Mesa a covert look, hoping that Mesa would follow him and help Lilia, who was confused.

According to the records in "Hogwarts: A School History", Peeves has existed since the beginning of the school.To be precise, he was "born with the whole building."

Rather than classifying Peeves as a ghost, it is better to say that he is an elf specializing in mischief, an indestructible spirit of chaos.

For thousands of years, every school administrator has wanted to get rid of Peeves, but he is still entrenched in the castle, combining humor and malice, and never tires of causing trouble for the teachers and students of the school.

But just as Lilia wondered, although Peeves "does a lot of evil", he rarely creates such big scenes as today.

Most of the time, Peeves' pranks are restrained and harmless.He would place wastebaskets on students' heads, throw chalk heads and water balloons at passing students, or pull the carpets off students' feet.

But today, Peeves destroyed the newly decorated auditorium like a tornado destroying a parking lot.What inspired Peeves, or was there someone who made him become like this?

Mesa's heart was also full of question marks, and he felt that his peaceful campus life seemed to be broken.
