Chapter 84 Percy’s Little Secret
Gryffindor versus Peeves—no, Peeves' pursuit of the Gryffindor prefects continues.
Peeves, who has been domineering and gaining a lot of privileges since the beginning of school history, has proven himself with his strength. As many students guessed, if a few simple trials could solve it, Peeves would have been kicked out of the castle long ago.
Probably because of the previous chase, these prefects thought they had tested Peeves' abilities, and they became bolder in their actions.
Then, there was nothing more. The students watching the excitement suddenly discovered that the Gryffindor prefects suddenly became extremely unlucky.
While eating, you will accidentally get hit in the face by flying pudding or greasy barbecue. You will suddenly slip when walking up the stairs. You will always be attacked by bird droppings when you leave the castle. Even in the shower, you will encounter rare things. water outage.
The fun is even greater during class - the exploded cauldron, the wrong spell, even if you drink water, owl feathers or other things will fall in...
The worst thing was the fifth-grade female prefect. She even planned to give up and concentrate on the exam. Bad luck clung to her like a stick.
According to rumors, she contaminated a large collection of wrong questions because of ink leakage, and then anxiously used her magic wand to delete a large area of the original text, and she almost collapsed.
…
"But others think this is a good thing - perhaps Peeves has the power to control misfortune just as the Elixir controls good luck,"
When Andrew asked Percy to disguise himself, Percy explained like this.
There was no way, Andrew wasn't really interested in this thing, but the Gryffindor prefects went out en masse and there was still one person left. His not asking was simply a public statement that he had a problem.
"So you really think that's true?"
"Well, that's more or less the case," Percy nodded - at this point, deception is useless, and he and Andrew have been cooperating well during this period, so there is no point in deceiving this kind of basically open information.
"That's weird," Andrew looked at Percy, "You didn't go with them?"
"Underclassmen need to be managed, there is work in the professor's office to do, and I have to prepare for the OWLS exams, and I don't have much confidence in that method," Percy sighed, "I have to leave it to others."
‘Not lying shouldn’t be considered cheating, right? ’
He said this in his heart, and asked Andrew by the way, "What about you, don't you want to give it a try?"
"I'm only in first grade!"
Andrew pointed at himself, "If it hadn't been for the professor's interest, I should be rummaging around in the library with those information on transfiguration. When I encounter problems, I can only think on my own - looking for treasures. It’s something I can’t handle at all.”
He shook his head, indicating that he was helpless.
The two hid each other's secrets, and after a pleasant exchange, they said goodbye and left.

"Andrew, we have made a major discovery!"
When Andrew returned to his dormitory, several of his roommates were already in the dormitory.
"What's the matter? It's so complete?"
Andrew's eyes widened - Hughes didn't like the library very much. After borrowing books, he would go back to the dormitory to read them, usually in the dormitory. Kevin and a few colleagues would find free time in the classroom to practice spells every day. Bell and Hal basically did the same. They are running around everywhere, why are they all gathered here today?
"I'm so anxious. I went to the library to look for you and couldn't find you!"
Hal lowered his voice, but he couldn't hide the excitement.
"What's the matter? Can't we talk about it during the meal?"
"No, if you tell me this, people will die!"
? ? ?
As for that?
Andrew became interested - after all, Hal's appearance was not a murder, it should be an indescribable secret.
He gathered around and sat there waiting for Hal to speak.
"You know Penelo, right?"
What's so mysterious about this - the prefect of our college, a fifth grader, a standard top student, the second child in ten thousand years...
By the way, it’s worth mentioning that the male prefects are in the top five—meaning they have passed the exams from third to fifth.
That's right, the fifth grader lost the crown of first place again... "She is in love - or in other words, she is in a preparatory state of love, I saw it."
No wonder I had to say it at the dinner table - I would be killed by the prefect.
You need to find a safe place to spread the gossip about the prefect of this college, and a trip to the library for this news doesn't seem so outrageous - it's weird.
"Who is the man?"
"First."
Very well - to translate, Percy Weasley of Gryffindor.
"Are you sure?"
"Even if it doesn't work out, it's almost there."
Hal was confident.
"No wonder, he was the only one who didn't look for the treasure. He came to our academy to dig for it."
"That's right, compared to Peeves, our academy is indeed easier to deal with."
…
The atmosphere in the dormitory suddenly became extremely cheerful. Although everyone had their own ideas, the first place in grades belonged to different ideas and deserved support.
However, support is support, and if you can't tease someone publicly, you still have to tease someone in private - after all, if you do it publicly, you will be hit on the head by the prefects.
Even Andrew suddenly understood why Percy didn't pursue the treasure - he said that Gryffindor students couldn't be so quiet.
He is not the only one who thinks so, the rest of the people probably think so too, but unfortunately, this happiness can only be enjoyed alone in the dormitory.
If word spread like this, the next day's news would be that the Ravenclaw prefect angrily tore up the first-year dormitory. After a pleasant discussion, everyone finally chose to remain silent.
But for this kind of thing, you should use it after hearing it, otherwise it will be too wasteful.
So, with this idea in mind, the next day, after finishing the work, Andrew asked casually at the door.
"How's your luck with the rest of the prefects lately?"
"Unlucky as always, but their confidence is still strong."
Percy responded with a smile, "And a few guys from the senior class who have time are also trying to get involved - but I'm not very optimistic about it."
"It will work out, and even if it doesn't, it's a good thing."
"That's right. After all, even if you fail, the adventure itself is very meaningful."
"Indeed," Andrew nodded, "What about you, have you succeeded?"
"Successful, ah, no, no, what did you say?"
Percy's words became flustered, and he looked at Andrew, pretending to be calm, but there was no way he could hide the panic in his eyes.
"It's a date, I saw it."
Andrew smiled evilly.
"Impossible, I've observed it!"
Percy blurted out, but soon realized it was all over.
"Come on."
Andrew smiled and waved away - this gossip is really very comfortable to use at this time.
Well, I am very happy once I peel it off.
