Chapter 856 High-End Prank
Peeves was lying on the sofa with his feet only in the middle, and he was telling his story. It was a feeling I had never experienced before. It was very relaxing to let down my guard and talk about all my experiences.
If you talk about your worries, worries and difficulties, you can get help from Dulan.
"Your experience is indeed legendary. In the past thousand years at Hogwarts, countless students have played tricks on you. The only regret is that you did not get the recognition of other resident ghosts in the school."
"Yes, the ghosts don't like me either. They haven't invited me to any ghost gathering. And I can't attend the opening ceremony yet. I also want to know which college the students will be assigned to." Peeves also has worries. , of course his troubles are actually not worth mentioning.
"So do you know why the ghosts don't like you?"
"I don't know, maybe I'm not one of them because I'm not a ghost," said Peeves.
In fact, Peeves is indeed a very special being. The academic style at Hogwarts was not so open a long time ago. All young wizards had to go through a very depressing student life. In fact, Peeves was born in that long time and belonged to young people. The collection of rebellious thoughts belongs to a very special kind of spirit.
Peeves can switch between physical and spiritual forms at will, so he is not accepted by pure spirits such as ghosts. At the same time, because he is a collection of rebellious ideas, entering the opening ceremony will bring instability to the opening ceremony, so every principal will not let him participate in the opening ceremony.
Peeves' story is almost as long as the history of Hogwarts, and he has witnessed the development of the entire school. Witnessed the confrontation between students and the school, witnessed the changes in the school, and Peeves has also changed a lot until now.
Although he is a group of rebels, Peeves now has his own consciousness and knows that he cannot resist for the sake of resistance. He will not disturb the teacher in class, but will only play pranks on the students after class and make them scream.
"Perhaps you should make your pranks more difficult in the future instead of like before."
"Didn't I do a good job before?" Peeves thought that pulling the students' clothes, scratching the skin, and scaring the students would be a good prank.
"No, no, to be honest, you were very superficial in the past, and your pranks were not novel at all." "Let me put it bluntly, it can be said that it is no fun at all."
Click, like a bolt of lightning struck Peeves. He was completely stunned. For the first time, someone said that his prank was unoriginal and not funny. He was struck.
"Don't be discouraged. In the future, you can design some highly intelligent pranks, such as mechanism pranks, where you create a series of unrelated mechanisms, but in the end they are all linked together for some reason, and finally you smear various foods on people's faces." In fact, that's it. Dominoes.
If used for pranks, it would definitely be more interesting than Peeves' boring pranks. There is no Internet now, and no one knows what this domino mechanism is, but Duran can demonstrate it.
Sticks, pens, balls, ropes, rubber bands, plates and other common objects in daily life can be used to set up mechanisms. "The important thing is the idea, use your imagination, and give people a sense of 'prank.' Not everyone can do it." Do' the feeling of class."
Duran is simply teaching Peeves step by step.
A simple domino mechanism is set up in the office, starting from the sofa and ending at work.
"The important thing is that you must first find your goal. For example, now I want to dip my quill in ink. This is a very small action, but we need a series of mechanisms to complete it." Duran pushed the sofa The ball on it gives it a previous force.
In fact, there are already many rubber bands installed in the mechanism. These things store the energy supply of elastic forces. As long as they are triggered, they can continue to provide energy to the mechanism.
Peeves' eyes widened, curious as to what would happen next.
The ball rolled and knocked down the board. The thumbtack on the board broke a narrow piece of paper. The cylinder fixed by the paper moved and the rope pulled up another cylinder below. The iron ball in the cylinder fell from the cylinder. It leaked out of the hole and fell into the plate. The plate gained weight and began to move downward. Then pull up the quill. When the quill moved, the rubber band loosened and the pen holder began to rotate. Move the quill above the ink bottle to a certain height. The plate tilted, the beads rolled away, the plate lightened and rose, and the quill dropped like an ink bottle.
Finish.
Bang bang bang, Peeves clapped his hands, great: "I think I know how to do it. This is indeed a very high-end prank method. I'm going to try it now."
The public property in Hogwarts was in trouble, but Duran thought it was quite interesting. He provided a lot of help to the first patient.
I was alone again. I picked up the Daily Prophet and saw some news about wizards. I found that many of them were advertisements for Diagon Alley, but the gif pictures in the newspaper were still very interesting. The Leaky Cauldron's job advert was reported above, and it seems Robin is looking to expand.
The news that Gringotts was stolen was still being reported some time ago, but one sentence said: No suspects have been arrested yet.
Duran knew that they probably wouldn't be able to catch the suspect, but Gringotts had released a lot of reports in the past few days, making everyone believe that Gringotts' reliability was still guaranteed, and that the last theft was just a rare incident.
Durran knew that Robin also had a warehouse in Gringotts, which contained a lot of gold galleons. Duran would not care about his daughter's small treasury, because she earned all the money herself, and in addition to the bar, she also had her magic inventions.
Speaking of which, some time ago, I saw a student wearing skates being scolded by Professor McGonagall. She didn't like students sliding around in the corridors, which looked like ghosts. Robin Sliders is now a well-known warrior brand. Last year, it was rated as the sixth of the "Top Ten Transportation Tools Favored by Wizards" by the Daily Prophet. The first place was still the flying broom, the second was the floo powder, the third was the door key, the fourth was the carriage, the fifth was the running chair, and the sixth was the skates.
Duran didn't know what the fifth place was. The skates have sold more than 2,000 pairs in the past ten years, and there are a group of loyal users. Sometimes there will be queues when the new skates are sold. Robin spent ten years to become a famous wizard, even if everyone still doesn't know which family she is from.
Harry Potter suspected that Hagrid had taken away the things that the thief wanted to steal from Gringotts last time. His strong curiosity made him want to know what Hagrid had taken away and why the thief wanted to steal it. Since entering school, the lightning scar on Harry's forehead has been aching from time to time. He thought it might be a sign of trouble, and it was closely related to what Hagrid had taken from Gringotts.
