I'm a priest at Hogwarts

Chapter 10 Repairing Peeves

The Gryffindor first year followed Percy through the noisy crowd, out of the dining room and up the marble stairs.

Through a door concealed behind sliding panels and hanging draperies, a small apparition suddenly appeared.

"It's Peeves," said Percy, "a ghost who loves mischief."

Peeves threw a water bomb into the crowd, hitting Hermione right on the head and drenching her.

When he was about to cast the second one, Orlando took out a talisman and pointed at it with one hand. He wanted to test whether Taoism also had an effect on ghosts.

"Spirit-restraining, order." The mana-blessed talisman instantly ignited and turned into a stream of light, hitting Peeves in the air.

Peeves remained in the throwing position and was fixed in mid-air, unable to move. Peeves, who had never experienced such an experience, yelled in horror: "Damn first-year brats, what did you do to Peeves?"

All the freshmen looked at Orlando with curiosity and shock.

Percy also opened his mouth wide in surprise, "Only the bloody Barrow has been able to control Peeves. We senior students have no way to deal with it. I didn't expect Orlando to be so powerful."

"It's not as powerful as you imagined, but I just happen to have the means to subdue the ghost." Orlando said modestly.

"This talisman can hold Peeves in place for three hours, I think it's a lesson to it at that time."

Peeves was still roaring and cursing. Orlando, who had originally decided to let it go, decided to teach it a lesson after hearing its foul language.

"You should teach it a lesson." Hermione wiped the stinky water from her face. For a girl who loves beauty, this is really an unforgivable prank.

What Orlando didn't know was that his act of punishing Peeves this time made him famous in the entire ghost circle. In the days that followed, all the ghosts of Hogwarts knew that there were so many new students who entered this year. A student who restrains ghosts.

A group of first-year freshmen whispered to each other, excitedly talking about the magic that Orlando just used. They felt that he didn't use a wand, but only used a piece of paper to cast spells to stop Peeves. They were very novel.

At the end of the corridor hung a portrait of a very rich woman in pink.

"Password?" she said.

"Dragon scum," Percy replied.

I saw the painting moving forward staggeringly, revealing a circular hole in the wall, and everyone crawled in through the hole led by Percy.

This was the Gryffindor common room, a cozy circular room filled with squishy armchairs.

Orlando likes the layout here, it feels like home.

Percy directed the girls through one door to their bedrooms, and then led the boys through another door and up a spiral staircase.

As early as at the dinner party, Ron and Harry agreed to live with Orlando, and Neville also followed (Percy was in the dormitory as a prefect). The bed, draped in crimson flannel, had already brought up their trunks.

Orlando looked at the room, and it was obvious that they were in a tower. Orlando pointed to a bunk on the east side by the window and said, "I choose this place."

"You can do whatever you want." Ron said, he was so sleepy that he just found a bed and fell down.

"Neville, where do you choose?" Harry was also sleepy, but let Neville choose first.

After allocating the dormitory, several of them fell asleep one after another.

Orlando lay on the bed, smelling the sunshine smell from the sheets and pillows, and said with emotion, the service at Hogwarts is quite considerate.

In the castle, in the Hogwarts headmaster's office, Dumbledore was sitting in the headmaster's office chair, wearing a sorting hat, communicating with the sorting hat from time to time.

In front of the desk, where Professor McGonagall was sitting, pointed his wand at his head, and from time to time pulled out a wisp of white smoke and put it into the stone basin on the table.

"Albus, is it really all right?" Professor McGonagall asked seeing Dumbledore take off the sorting hat.

"Minerva (Professor McGonagall's nickname), don't jump to conclusions, let me look at the memory in the Pensieve first." Dumbledore waved his wand as he spoke.

After a while, Dumbledore recovered from his thoughts and said, "Minerva, I think this child is good in nature. From this point of view, we cannot discriminate against him. After all, we are a magic school. Teaching and educating people is our job, isn't it?"

Dumbledore tapped his fingers on the table lightly, lost in memory, and continued after a while: "As for the power he possesses, I think it is an ancient oriental method. I have seen this kind of power when I traveled the world in my early years. strength.."

Professor McGonagall wanted to say something else, but Dumbledore stopped her with a finger and said, "Since the child chose Gryffindor, as the dean, I think you have the responsibility to guide him away." On the right path, regarding this point, I have no doubts about your ability, Minerva."

"Well, since you have made a decision, principal, I won't say anything more." Professor McGonagall got up and left the principal's office.

Orlando, who was immersed in his sleep, didn't know that he was disgusted by Professor McGonagall, the dean of Gryffindor, and almost came to a new school for a day trip.

The next day, before dawn, Orlando's biological clock woke up. He washed his face lightly, opened the window and went out, found a place with a wide view and sat cross-legged, and started the day's morning class.

He has been reincarnated for so many years, except for cloudy and rainy days, his morning class has never been interrupted. Although he has not yet established a foundation, he has already entered the Great Perfection in Qi training. .

After the morning class, Orlando returned to the dormitory the same way. At this time, the genius was dim, and the three of Harry were still asleep.

Orlando took out a few gravity charms from the glazed bracelet, and stuck one on each of his hands and feet on his chest and back. Due to the limitation of materials, these pieces are double the gravity charms, in order to meet the current needs of body training , he had to post a few more.

After doing this, Orlando quietly opened the door, walked through the spiral staircase, and came to the common room of Gryffindor. The place is empty, and the students are sleeping at this time, no one disturbs them, so it is the best for cultivation .

An hour of high-intensity exercise made Orlando sweat all over. At this time, the castle gradually started to make noises. Orlando packed up the tables and chairs he had disturbed and returned to his dormitory.

Neville was washing up, and when he saw Orlando coming in, he asked in surprise, "Orlando, why did you go so early?"

Orlando picked up a towel and wiped his face, nodded to Neville and said, "I went to the common room to exercise."

"Do you want to use the shower head? If not, I'll take a shower."

"No, you can use it."

The voices of the two woke Ron and Harry, who rubbed their eyes and sat up sleepily.

Orlando dug out the change of clothes and took a comfortable shower.

At this time, the three of Harry had already changed their clothes and were waiting for Orlando.

"Orlando, I heard from Neville that you got up to exercise before dawn?" Harry asked curiously.

"Yeah, practice must be persistent, otherwise it will be difficult to become a master." Orlando said casually after changing his clothes.

"Is it the kind of kung fu that knocks down the three of Malfoy with one move?" Ron added hastily.

Neville's eyes lit up, and he also came over.

Looking at the hopeful eyes of the three, Orlando shrugged, "It's sort of."

"You said you'd teach us," said Ron eagerly.

"Are you sure you want to learn now?"

The three of them answered in unison: "We must learn."

"Well, since you are so persistent, it is good to let you experience it first."

Orlando took out three Gravity Talismans, pinched his fingers to activate them, and pasted one on each of their backs.

The force of gravity suddenly doubled. Ron staggered and fell to the ground. Harry bent over and tried to straighten himself up. Neville immediately crawled to the ground and couldn't move.

"This is a double gravity talisman, and you need to wear it on your body all the time until you walk as before."

"My God, what kind of spell are you doing? I can't even stand up." Ron yelled.

He casually tore off the gravity talisman on the backs of the three of them, and when the three regained their strength, Orlando took off his coat and pointed at himself and said, "Did you see that, six, that is, six times the gravity, when will you get used to six times the gravity?" At that time, you can knock down three people with one move."

Neville looked incredible, Harry looked at him with bright eyes, and Ron opened his mouth wide in shock.

"Orlando, how did you do it, six times the gravity, and all-weather, have you been exercising like this before? No wonder you are so strong?"

"I've decided, I won't sleep in anymore, I want to practice with Orlando." Harry said excitedly.

"Me too."

"Me too."

Orlando shook his head. It wasn't that he didn't like them, but he just doubted whether they could persist.

"Well, I really can't do anything about you."

A group of four went out talking and laughing.

"It's over there, look."

"Where? Where?"

"Beside the tall black-haired boy, there's a red-haired freckled boy behind him, see?"

"The one with the glasses?"

"Yeah, that's it."

"Did you see his face?"

"I don't see that scar."

Before he found the classroom, Orlando felt like he was going crazy. He felt like he was about to become a monkey in the zoo. To be precise, it was Harry, he was the monkey king, and they were just the grandsons of the monkey.

Students lined up outside the classroom, each tiptoeing, trying to see Harry's true face.In the corridor they walked past Harry and back again, staring at him intently.

This made it difficult for several people to concentrate on finding the reason to go to the classroom. There are as many as 140 stairs in Hogwarts.

Some of them are wide and big; some are narrow and small and rickety; some lead to different places every Friday; some go up halfway and a step disappears suddenly, you have to remember where Should jump over.

Plus, there are lots of doors here that won't open for you if you ask them to be rude, or poke in the right place, and some aren't real doors at all, just a block of what appears to be The solid wall of the door.

It's hard to remember what's where because everything seems to be constantly moving.The people in the portraits also kept visiting each other, and Orlando was sure that even armor could walk.

"I regret it." After being harassed wave after wave, Orlando muttered.

"What?" asked Harry, who was walking with his head bowed for fear of being noticed.

"I regret that I shouldn't share a dormitory with the savior." Ron said sourly.

"Well, sorry." Harry blushed.

"Just kidding, don't mind, let's hurry up and find our way, I don't want to be late for the first day of school."

The first class was Charms, taught by Professor Flitwick, a wizard who was so small that he had to stand on a stack of books to reach the desk.

Orlando doesn't judge people by their cover. Although he knows all the courses of the first grade by heart, he still listens carefully and raises his hand to ask questions from time to time. These questions are all difficult problems he recorded while reading.

Some of these questions have surpassed the scope of knowledge in the first grade, and many of them also involve the origin of spells and the nature of magic.

But Professor Flitwick answered patiently. He was very satisfied with this studious and hard-thinking student, and rewarded Gryffindor with 5 points for this.

Invisibly, Orlando broke the record for the fastest earning bonus points for the academy since the entire school was founded.

In his previous life, Orlando relied on the two books left by his grandfather to explore the path of cultivation alone, which allowed him to develop a good habit of independent thinking.

During this period, I inevitably took many detours. In this life, with such good learning conditions, if I can’t grasp it again, I will be too sorry for the chance of rebirth given by God.

After the class, Orlando felt that he had gained a lot. He needed to go to the library to look for books about the origin of spells. He felt that the evolution of spells was the evolution history of magic. The power of magic was developed, which manifested itself in the form of incantations.

If he can understand this principle thoroughly, it will be of great help to his Taoism cultivation.

"Orlando, Ron and I are going to explore the castle, do you want to come together?" Harry's words interrupted Orlando's thoughts.

"I won't go, I want to go to the library."

"Oh my God, school is just starting now, and you've memorized the whole book, and you're still so serious, isn't it too hard?" Ron lamented.

"Learning is endless, if you don't advance, you will retreat!" Orlando patted Ron on the shoulder.

"You're right, you're just too lazy." Hermione said holding a stack of books, "Orlando, I'll go with you."

Ron grimaced at Hermione's back.

There was no class at noon, and Orlando could just go to the library to look for books, and a few people left at the door of the classroom.

The school library of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry can be said to be the number one library in the whole of England or the whole European continent. Of course, I am referring to the magic related.
