Hogwarts: Harley from The Witch Way

Chapter 17 Ghosts and Spiritual Creatures

The dinner was still going on, joined by the ghosts of Hogwarts. They kept popping up in front of the new students, trying to scare them.

A ghost with a ruff floated in front of Harry, watched Harry cut the steak, and said sadly: It looks really good.

Are you creatures from the spirit world? Harry looked at the pearly white, translucent ghost in front of him, and asked subconsciously.

Spirit world creatures? What are they, is that what Muggles call us? The ghost frowned, and then introduced himself,

I am the ghost, Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, resident ghost of Gryffindor Tower.

You can just call me Sir Nicholas. With that said, the ghost straightened his collar.

Harry also remembered at this time that when waiting in that small room before sorting, it seemed that some freshmen had indeed called out the word ghost.

But she closed her eyes and rested her mind at that time, not paying too much attention to the sounds from the unexpected world.

Harry suddenly became interested in ghosts, put down the knife and fork in his hand, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and started talking to Sir Nicholas:

My dear Sir Nicholas, may I ask you a few questions?

Of course! Sir Nicholas replied happily, Son, you can ask whatever you want! As long as I know, I can tell you!

You are such a lovely little wizard. Other little wizards only call me Nick or my nickname, and don't like to chat with me.

That's really unfortunate. Harry lamented casually, took out a notebook and a Muggle fountain pen, and then began to ask questions,

Sir Nicholas, may I ask how you became a spirit...'ghost'?

Oh, this is a very long topic. Nick seemed to want to have a long talk, starting from his own birth.

But Harry quickly stopped the topic: Sir Nicholas, I don't think the dinner is long enough. If the topic is too long, we can only discuss it at another time.

Nick seemed disappointed, but could only cut the long story short: Well, I'll get to the point. Wizards can leave their mark on the world.

And when they die, if they are afraid of death, they can choose to become ghosts and continue to walk in the places where they once lived and left their marks.

If you choose to become a ghost in this way, you can only live as a ghost forever, and you can no longer continue on the journey after death.

Of course, if the person died abnormally and still had very strong emotions before death, especially resentment, it may also form a ghost.

And they still have the opportunity to continue to choose to go on, but they need to meet certain opportunities.

Excuse me, what is the opportunity? Harley asked a new question while taking notes quickly.

I don't know. Nick shook his head. Not many people have explored this issue. After all, there are too few such ghosts.

Harry nodded thoughtfully, and after learning a lot of information, he ended the conversation and expressed his gratitude to Nick.

At this time, the dinner party had come to an end, and the staple food and desserts on the table had disappeared.

Professor Dumbledore stood up, made some notes, and asked everyone to sing the school song together before bedtime.

But the singing is really hard to describe, and it is two ocean singers away from the Academy Hat.

The fifth-year prefects began to take the freshmen back to their college dormitories.

The entrance to the Gryffindor dormitories is down a hallway on the eighth floor. There is a portrait in the corridor, which is a very rich woman in pink.

According to Prefect Percy, the entrance to Gryffindor Tower is behind this portrait, and the fat lady on the portrait is Gryffindor's guard.

Only the correct password to the fat lady can enter the Gryffindor Tower.

After entering the Gryffindor Tower, there is the Gryffindor common room. Usually Gryffindor students can choose to study here.

After a brief introduction, Percy guided the girls into a door, which was the girls' dormitory.

But Percy didn't follow, just stood outside the door. The rest of the work was done by a very non-existent female prefect.

Holding a roll of parchment, she pointed out their beds to the new students.

Harry shared a bedroom with the impressive and very arrogant Hermione on the train, as well as Parvati Patil and Lavender Brown.

Harry's luggage was already at the head of the bed. After the roommates introduced themselves briefly, Halle quickly tidied up the bedding and set up the tent.

After washing up, Harry ignored Hermione, who was still chattering, and quickly lay down on the bed, and performed a simple tranquility ritual to isolate Hermione's voice.

It was getting late, and Harry was lying on the bed, thinking about what he had seen and heard today, especially those ghosts.

After all, ghosts exist in a form that is almost a spirit body, but they cannot interfere with reality, which is slightly different from spirit bodies.

Does this prove that this world also has a spirit world or a place similar to the spirit world?

Harry is very curious now, and wants to perform a small ceremony to let his spirit body directly enter the spirit world.

But Harry wasn't so reckless. With Harley's current strength, she still dare not enter directly.

In case the spirit world of this world is as dangerous as the spirit world of the sequence path world, then Harley may be obliterated by a behemoth at any time after entering.

Forcibly suppressing the curiosity in her heart, Harley chose to go to bed quickly, so as to save herself from starting a certain ceremony because of her unstoppable curiosity.

...

In the principal's office, the Sorting Hat is forcibly pulling the principal to have an awkward chat.

Albus, that little girl Harley is really interesting. The Sorting Hat was talking enthusiastically,

It's been a long time since I saw someone who can fit into three colleges at the same time, and the last one like this was more than ten years ago.

Indeed, Dumbledore flipped through the Transfiguration Today in his hand without raising his head, That's a very talented child, isn't he?

And there are many secrets hidden in him. But I guess she doesn't even know the secrets she carries.

Yeah, he is indeed a good boy. It would be better if you don't dislike me so much. Speaking of this, the Sorting Hat also simulated the sound of sobbing.

I would have put that kid in Slytherin House, because that kid was a better fit for Slytherin.

But you insisted I put her in Gryffindor.

Speaking of which, there was even a trace of resentment in the voice of the Sorting Hat.

It's not my fault, old man. Dumbledore turned a page of Transfiguration Today, and replied casually,

When I went to pick her up, the things that kid said to me really caught my attention.

If I'm not mistaken, the child described the fact that some of Tom's qualities were attached to her.

Now those qualities have been destroyed for some reason, or merged with Harley.

So now she has mastered a lot of special magic, and all of them are somewhat evil in nature, leaning towards black magic.

I had to make sure that Halle was in an environment of courage and love and that that kid was growing up healthy.

This is my obligation as the principal, and it is also my duty as an elder to atone for the mistakes I have made.

It was my mistake at the beginning, and decided to use the wrong person, which caused the death of Harley's parents.
