A broken Hogwarts

Chapter 61 Letters and Instructions (Two in One)

Early the next morning, Owen got up from the bed, woke up the little hairball Melet, stared at her golden eyes solemnly, and said in a lazy and hoarse voice that was unique to the morning: "Melet, Do you see anything different about me?"

The kitten lizi opened his eyes a little angrily, stretched out his paws to flick Owen's palm away, yawned a lot, stared at him with narrowed eyes and shook his head.

Doesn't this guy know that cubs don't grow up if they don't get enough sleep?I really want to catch that smiling face... Melet gave Owen a sideways glance, licked her paws slowly, and washed her face diligently.

"Okay." Owen stretched his waist, not waking up his roommate who stayed in bed on weekends, and took care of himself carefully and decently.

There were not many people in the auditorium, and the morning sun was shining brightly outside the window.Owen finished his breakfast unhurriedly, then found an empty classroom with bright and clean windows, and wrote letters in neat and beautiful fonts.Now that the fax machine has been found, the ghosts of the school have made great efforts these days, and the ghost event that Owen promised has also been put on the agenda.

"Dear Sir Francis,

"I'm glad you liked my last story, in fact, I'd rather write about your wonderful past. It must have been a great adventure, but I can only trace your glory from a few words in the history book The experience... all I can say is that it's a pity.

"Next Saturday at nine o'clock in the evening, there will be a grand ghost party in Hogwarts Castle. I know you haven't appeared in front of people for hundreds of years, but Sir Stuart and Ms. Elizabeth are willing to attend this It is a grand event, and they also look forward to meeting you who have never met before.

"I remember you once said to me that you have always cherished the two of them, but you have only met each other. I think this will be a wonderful and beautiful meeting, a meeting that spans time and history, and it will surely burst out inspiration and thinking. sparks of excitement.

"On behalf of the ghosts of Hogwarts, I sincerely invite you to participate in this gathering, and I look forward to having an in-depth exchange of the fascinating history with you. I hope you can satisfy my little wish of a student who has always looked forward to you, and also Let the other two not be disappointed and sigh because they missed it again.

"Your sincerity, Owen Shafik."

After writing the letter, Owen sealed the paper in a deep, restrained black hard envelope, and carefully sealed it with a silver wax seal.Then, he cast a spell on the envelope, using a method similar to howling letters, and turned it into a magic letter that could read the contents of the letter politely and kindly.

These days he has been communicating with the three ghosts in this way.

Next, Owen continued to write two other letters, carefully considering his words.

"Dear Sir Stuart, I am glad that you also like Debussy's music, but I prefer the gentle and tranquil "Moonlight" to the capricious "Sea". It... I look forward to your participation in this Hogwarts grand event, we have obtained the consent of Francis Knight and Ms. Elizabeth, and they are also eager to have this romantic meeting with you that spans thousands of years..."

"Dear Ms. Elizabeth, I am still very surprised to hear that your favorite opera is Othello. You know... I sincerely invite you to come to Hogwarts with Sir Francis Knight and Sir Stuart A historic meeting..."

Owen sealed the three letters, heaved a sigh of relief, and went to the owl shack to post them.

These three very famous and charismatic ghosts are his carefully selected targets. They don't know each other but cherish each other, but they live in isolation and have little relationship with each other.I believe they are very happy to have a chance to meet, but they have been regretting all along.

Owen created for each ghost the illusion that the other two had agreed to attend the party, using this as a bait to invite the three together with a high probability.And when these three great gods arrived at Hogwarts, the event was justified.

"I've tried my best, and if I still can't invite them, then I can't do anything about it." Owen didn't panic about defrauding three people in a row. Anyway, this is not a bad thing for the three "social terror" ghosts.As for friends, once in a while, cheating each other can deepen friendship.

There were still piles of papers from last night on the grass outside the castle, and they covered a large area like snow with a little dew in the morning.

The students had never seen such a situation before. They ran into the pile of white papers like they were having fun, and piled them into various shapes, such as fire dragons, castles or humanoid sculptures.

The yelling and cheering filled the school with youthful vitality, until some clever man set a fire in the pile of papers, and the spark was blown by the wind, instantly igniting all the papers, and then quickly spread to the lawn superior……

A fire almost burned the Forbidden Forest, and the professors ran out of the castle one after another, jumping around energetically to put out the fire.Professor McGonagall stomped and yelled "happy", turning a group of young wizards into wind-battered flowers.

"What a peaceful campus life."

Owen stood in a classroom watching this scene through the window, sighed cheerfully, and then was approached by Peeves.The mischievous ghost has come to demand his promise.

"Teach me, teach me, you promised Peeves, cheat and fool!" Peeves circled around Owen with a playful smile, holding two dung eggs in his hands, aiming at Owen's head maliciously Gestures, it seems that Owen will throw them on his head if he doesn't agree.

"Okay——" Owen hugged his shoulders and dragged his tone, "Although you caused me a lot of trouble last night, you did help me find the fax machine, so I won't play tricks."

He glanced deeply at Peeves who couldn't wait with a smile, and narrowed his eyes, revealing a playful look.

"First of all, you need to know that people only see what they want to see, and we are trying to trick their eyes first."

Owen raised his right hand and tapped the dung eggs in Peeves' hands, signaling Peeves to give them to him.

"It's mine! No one can take what belongs to Peeves from him!" cried Peeves, throwing Dong XZ behind his back.

"When did you have the illusion that I didn't take them?" Owen blinked his left eye jokingly, and two identical gadgets appeared in his hand.

"Huh? That's impossible!" Peeves took out his two dung eggs and looked at them, only to realize that they had become colorful at some point.He froze, his small black eyes were almost cross-eyed.

"Give it back to me! That belongs to Peeves!" Peeves looked at the dung in Owen's hand angrily and anxiously, pinching his nose and flying around the classroom.

"Okay, I'll give it back to you." Owen let go of the gadget in his hand.Peeves flew over to catch them in a hurry, and dropped the colorful balls in his hand.

"This is the first point I want to tell you, true and false." Owen smiled and caught the ball that Peeves dropped in his hand, and tossed it up and down, "Let the other party not be able to tell what is true, What is fake."

"Speak clearly!" Peeves threatened with a tigerish face, shaking the dung in his hand.

"Why don't you try to see if the thing in your hand is real or not?" Owen tilted his head.

Pippi gave a strange cry, and threw the feces in his hand on Owen. With a "pop", the black ball exploded, and a ball of colored paper burst out.

"You lied to me! The one you took is the real thing!" Peeves angrily overturned the table and hung himself on the chandelier, which made a creaking sound.

"Tsk, then you are too naive." Owen crushed the small ball in his hand, and a large group of colorful ribbons burst out of it.

"Where's my dung?" cried Peeves, banging his head into the ceiling.

"Think about it for yourself." Owen said pretending to be profound, "I just want you to understand that a successful scam is to make the other party unable to distinguish the real from the fake, to make him take the fake as the real, and the real as the real." Fake……"

Peeves poked his head out, squinted his eyes, and his expression suddenly became more sinister.He's always had a talent for teasing people.

Seeing this, Owen suddenly raised his hand and showed the wand in his hand, pointing the tip of the wand out of the window, smiling gracefully and mysteriously: "The second point, when I tell you that there will be a trick here..."

When Peeves turned his head to look out the window, the wand in Owen's hand suddenly exploded into a bouquet of flowers with a "bang".At the same time, the chandelier that Peeves was clinging to suddenly turned into a huge tree frog with a big mouth, swallowing him in one gulp.

When Peeves got out of his phantom in a panic, Owen lazily leaned against the wall and said, "The real trick must be somewhere else."

"This is very useful." He winked mischievously at Peeves, "For example, when you don't like someone, you can first pretend that you are not interested in him, and play tricks on others .When that person relaxes his vigilance, you can turn to deal with him, and it will be easier to achieve surprising results."

"When he is taking pleasure in other people's misfortune and then teases him severely, the gap between the front and back can hit the other party's heart even more." Owen suddenly smiled meaningfully, "Or, when that person is someone you don't dare to mess with but hates, You can pretend you just inadvertently spilled over to him."

"Peves has never dared to mess with anyone!" Peeves sneered "Puff".

"Really?" Owen just glanced at him without revealing it.In fact, he knew that Peeves was most afraid of the headmaster, and he didn't dare to provoke most of the professors, because they were perfectly capable of dealing with Peeves.

"Then let me put it another way. For example, someone you don't want to provoke but look down on, want to punish him and want to find out his secret." Owen's tone became erratic and seductive, which made Peeves involuntarily thought of someone.

Looking at Peeves whose eyeballs were rolling around, Owen wiped the corners of his mouth and smiled meaningfully.He knew that Peeves looked down on a certain cowardly professor very much, and even tried to pry into the other's little secrets in a different way before.

Owen just reminded Peeves of this incident, and then cleverly used words to strengthen his little idea.

When the time was almost up, Owen clapped his hands and said: "Okay, the last point is to use the mechanism cleverly."

He opened the classroom door a crack and put a stool on top of the door.He stretched out his hand and gently pushed the door, and at the same time as the door opened, the stool fell down with a "boom".

"This is the simplest prank trick, I think you will." Owen glanced at Skinny, then pulled a thin thread between the door and the classroom window, and simply wrapped a blackboard eraser inside the door.

He pushed the door open again, and the thin thread loosened, and the blackboard eraser on the opposite side of the door was pulled by the thread and slapped straight.Owen closed the door casually, and the blackboard eraser slapped on the door, leaving a white chalk mark on it.

"You can use your ingenuity and prank talent to design one or two more steps...to make the mechanism more complicated and diverse." Owen laughed. "The biggest advantage of the mechanism is that it doesn't require you to be at the scene of the prank, and it can be done very quickly. Take yourself out well. You are a ghost, and you are born with the convenience of arranging many organs."

"Peves' pranks are always aboveboard, and Peeves is not afraid of anyone!" cried the grinning ghost in an ugly voice.

"Well, it's great." Owen shrugged, "I hope you won't encounter occasions where you need to take yourself out. But the function of the mechanism is not only that, it can also be used to attract other people's attention and help You pull off a ruse... depends on how you use it."

"Okay, I'll stop here. Goodbye." Owen waved his hand and walked out of the classroom in a good mood.

After briefly guiding Peeves, he returned to the common room with brisk steps, lazily curled up in the armchair in front of the fireplace to do his homework.The armchair has now become almost his exclusive place.

Melet seemed to sense that he was back, and walked out of the dormitory with her head held high and graceful steps. She nimbly avoided the paws of the students along the road who were reaching out to touch her, and walked slowly to Owen. Beside, jumped lightly onto his lap.

"Meow——" Melet stretched his waist, and after making a meaningless cry, he curled up and warmed up with Owen.The big ears and long tail shake flexibly from time to time, like a fluffy doll.

The newborn kitten, Lizi, is growing very fast. Although he still looks round and round, he can vaguely see his vigorous and elegant figure in adulthood.

"Oh, are you tempting me?" Owen glanced at her and asked with a smile.

"Meow~" Melet called softly.

"Okay, the temptation was successful." Owen put down the quill in his hand, waved his wand to let it automatically write quickly on the parchment, and gently rubbed the cat's soft fur with both hands.

The atmosphere was warm and peaceful, until Owen's finger pressed on Melet's paw.

One person and one cat happily played the game that the cat's paw must be on top, until the red-eyed Melet jumped off Owen's knee angrily and went to find Daphne and the others to eat.

"You can lose this game, it's a shame to the cat world, Melet." Owen joked.

Melet, who walked halfway, jumped up with a "meow" as if her tail had been stepped on, and gave Owen a fierce look.The cat's paw must be on top, unless you encounter a dog!Is your hand speed sure or human?

"Tsk." Owen tutted lightly, distracted while doing his homework.After finishing his homework, he took out "Standard Spells, Level [-]" and flipped through the last few pages.

The day passed leisurely, and in a blink of an eye it was night.
