Nearly Headless Nick
Currently in the Great Hall of Hogwarts, the three wizards whose fates are intertwined with the wizarding world are all in a hybrid state: Harry Potter contains Voldemort, Voldemort contains Quirrell, Dumbledore contains Grindelwald.
Ryan finally realized what was happening and came to his senses, just as he overheard Percy's slander against Dumbledore.
Isn't it obvious?
"'Stupid' comes from Ravenclaw, who think students from other houses are stupid."
"'Crying' comes from Gryffindor, who considered students from other houses to be cowards."
"'Scum' comes from Slytherin, who believed that students from other houses were not as pure as them and were all scum."
"'Twisted' comes from Hufflepuff, who thought students from other houses were twisted," Ryan said.
Harry, standing nearby, couldn't help but shift his attention away from the food, even though it was piled high in front of him: roast beef, roast chicken, pork chops, lamb chops, sausages, steaks, boiled potatoes, baked potatoes, potato chips, Yorkshire pudding, pea shoots, carrots, gravy, ketchup, and mint hard candies.
Percy, on the other hand, had his ears turn red just like Ron's, and slunk back to the Gryffindor table. Ryan suspected that the red ears were a Weasley family trait, just like their red hair.
Harry keenly sensed the awkward atmosphere, pretended not to care, and since he was indeed a bit hungry, he followed Ron's example and took a little of everything onto his plate and began to munch.
As everyone was engrossed in the delicious food and the meal gradually came to its latter half, the ghosts joined in. At the Gryffindor table sat Nearly Headless Nick, and at the Ravenclaw table sat Lady Grey.
However, although Lady Grey was very beautiful, with long hair reaching her waist and a robe that reached the ground, like Fairies from the Moon Palace, she also appeared very arrogant and disdainful of others, and no student dared to approach her.
Nicholas of Gryffindor, on the other hand, was much better off. At this moment, Nicholas was sadly watching everyone enjoy the food and floating around.
"Aren't you going to have some?" Harry, who was probably already half full, struck up a conversation with Nicholas at the Gryffindor table next to him.
"I haven't eaten for four hundred years."
"I don't need to eat them, but of course I miss their delicious taste. I think I haven't introduced myself yet? Sir Nicholas of Minsey-Poppington, the resident ghost of Gryffindor Tower," Nicholas introduced himself.
At this moment, Ron was also half full, joined in and, without any sense of propriety, mentioned Nicholas's nickname.
"I think I prefer you to call me Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington," Nicholas said, looking somewhat uneasy.
At that moment, the light brown-haired boy who had been in front of Harry in line to enter the Great Hall suddenly turned around and asked the question he shouldn't have, "Almost headless? How could you almost be headless?"
This boy is Seamus; Ryan already knew this when the schools were sorted.
The boy in the original story, whose magical powers are similar to those of Ryan's father, is still Gryffindor, just like in the original story.
"Hermione, if you're going to listen to me, close your eyes right now, Harry too," Ryan reminded her.
"Huh?" Harry's eyes widened even more, his curious green eyes momentarily distracting Snape in the High Table, who was chewing on the sausage that was no longer on his fork.
"Who are you?" Hermione suddenly realized that there was such a handsome guy next to her, and blushed instantly, forgetting about Nicholas.
"Like this," Nicholas replied impatiently, sounding quite angry.
At the same time, he grabbed his left ear and pulled it down, causing his head to sway and slide off his neck, landing on his shoulder and revealing an unbearable cross-section.
The sounds of retching began to emanate from around Harry. Some were stunned, while others, being lucky enough to be further away, were Gryffindor students who didn't see clearly and clamored for another round.
Nicholas, on the contrary, became happy at this moment. As expected of the ghost of Gryffindor, he received great positive feedback from his prank.
Nicholas released his head, and the still-severed skin, like the hinge edge, caused his head to spring back onto his neck.
Nicholas turned around smugly and began to brainwash the new Gryffindor students, telling them that Slytherin had won the House Cup for six consecutive years and that the new students must work hard.
He then inexplicably took his anger out on Bloody Baron, simply because he was a ghost of Slytherin.
"Nicholas might as well just complain about Snape. Slytherin's six consecutive championships were clearly more related to Snape's favoritism," Ryan thought to himself.
Speaking of Bloody Baron, he was really radical. Ravenclaw only asked him to go and retrieve his daughter Helena, who later became Ravenclaw's Ghost Lady Grey, but he confessed his love to her and captured her at the same time. After receiving Helena's reply that she refused to go back, he suddenly attacked and stabbed Helena to death with a knife. Finally, he used the same knife to end his own life.
That's really bizarre.
Ryan suspected that Baron had been corrupted by Gryffindor. As a wizard, he didn't even use a wand. Helena probably didn't believe that her sycophant would have such a bad temper and hurt her for no reason.
However, there is another possibility: Slytherin, like his good friend Gryffindor, liked to use melee weapons, but he preferred to use a knife, and his disciple, the Bloody Baron, learned this skill.
In Ryan's eyes, the Bloody Baron had a blank stare, his robes were still stained with the blood that killed Helena, shimmering with silver light, and he was shackled all over, like a prisoner.
It's really interesting how blood from one's lifetime can still remain, especially the part that doesn't belong to oneself.
How did Baron, who only had a wand and a dagger on him before he died, come to be a ghost with shackles? Was it a confession of his actions?
However, this thought was quickly shattered by Malfoy, who saw a mask of pain on Malfoy usually self-assured, pale face, because of Baron, who refused to leave and was sitting next to him.
It's hard to imagine that such an expression could appear on a human face; Ryan even had an urge to record the scene.
Harry, on the other hand, seemed very happy about this and ate several bites of steak in one go. He was so engrossed in watching Malfoy that he accidentally bumped Ron's elbow, who was holding fried chicken legs in both hands, almost causing Ron to choke. Fortunately, Ryan noticed in time and saved Ron.
