An unexpected change occurred, and Tom did not react.
Logically speaking, even my own magic had no effect, and it was far more than what caused Peeves's rage. Moreover, this unusual rage looked a little special, as if it was under some strange magic...
But the most urgent task is to let Peeves calm down and then hand it over to the professor.
When encountering something that looks like a conspiracy, a fool will continue to take the matter on himself.
But this time, Tom discovered a problem--
The previous Petrificus Totalus has become ineffective, and not only that, there are many magics that are directly deflected the moment they attack Peeves.
This further proves the problem...
Tom could only dodge the bucket in Peeves's hand while thinking of a way.
Fortunately, Tom's combat thinking is very good. Since there are many Charmss that he has mastered and there is no way to directly affect Peeves, then he can change his mind and directly control its movements.
The advantages of Transfiguration are reflected.
Tom took out a handkerchief from his pocket and threw it directly.
After counting the wands, the handkerchief Transfiguration instantly turned into a rope, directly tying Peeves up.
It subconsciously wanted to become virtual and break free from the restraints, but Tom added some magic power to the rope when Transfiguration was doing it. These magic powers would inhibit the flow of Peeves's magic power.
Seeing that he could not pass through the rope directly, Peeves seemed to be even more angry.
It started to roar to express its dissatisfaction.
But it was stunned for a moment. How should it roar? It had never done anything before. At this time, it formed a conflict, causing it to go down a bit.
Tom seized this opportunity instantly and subconsciously used Parseltongue--
[Stop!]
Parseltongue is connected to the image of the snake in its own Meditation space, and activates at the same time.
For a moment, this deserted corridor suddenly seemed like many snakes appeared, and the temperature dropped a lot, as if entering a cellar...
After hearing Tom's voice, Horned Serpent also revealed its figure. Its snake eyes stared at Peeves opposite. It didn't know what the ghost in the school wanted to do, but as long as it wanted to harm Tom, it would take action with all its strength and summon a huge storm to directly attack the castle...
The magic power flickers between light and darkness.
However, since Tom used Parseltongue, a look of fear and fear instantly appeared on Peeves's face.
The body continued to tremble, then gradually turned gray-white, and then disappeared little by little in front of Tom, as if it was directly expelled by a higher level of power...
Tom originally wanted to use magic to forcefully leave some traces of Peeves, but no matter what method he used, the debris after Peeves dissipated bypassed him and melted directly into the walls of the castle.
Horned Serpent looked around more blankly, realizing that after the enemy disappeared and the environment gradually became safer, it slowly put away its magic power.
"Hiss~" [Tom, what happened? Where did that ghost go?]
Tom is also very innocent and confused, but he is also vaguely aware that these changes seem to be related to Parseltongue itself. Going further, this change seems to be related to Slytherin...
If he could experiment again, he might be able to learn some of Slytherin's secrets.
However, now that the matter has been resolved for the time being, he still has to send the letter first.
Just under Slytherin, in a huge cave, a huge figure moved slightly, one eye opened slightly, and the dark green light illuminated the dim room a little.
I can barely see the mark Slytherin on the wall here.
And this behemoth is a huge snake, which is curled up on the ground and sleeping.
"Hisssssssssssssssssssssssss~"
[I seem to feel the master's power. Is it an illusion?]
[I'm still too sleepy now. When the power becomes stronger, I'll go out and take a look... Maybe it's the master's heir...]
After temporarily shelving the thought, it closed its eyes again.
It is not only the Basilisk that is affected by Parseltongue, but also Hogwarts Castle itself.
It should be said that Peeves symbolizes part of the castle. The change just now was only because Heir of Slytherin had a higher priority than Peeves itself, which resulted in it being forcibly expelled back to the core of Castle Magic defense for repair...
Such changes can be hidden from the professor and the little wizard, but for the principal, it is a bit conspicuous.
Every Hogwarts principal, when inheriting this position, must sign a contract. That contract allows them to master various minor changes in Hogwarts, and also allows them to display their Magic Master level in the school...
Headmaster Dippet soon appeared in the corridor, but at this time, Tom had already left here.
Dippet took out his wand, "Prior Incantato!"
With the increase in the principal's authority, huge magic power directly filled the entire corridor, and the previous events appeared in front of him again.
When he saw Peeves planning to attack Tom, he still didn't think there was anything wrong.
Tom directly influenced Peeves through Lumos, which made him appreciate it very much. He even started to plan who to find to teach him. Patronus Charm, Madam Merrythought or Ms. Herbert, they are all very suitable candidates...
But the next second, when he saw the violent attack of Peeves and the scarlet eyes, his expression became ugly...
"Imperius Curse!"
That's right, Peeves was actually influenced by Imperius Curse, and it is a special kind of Imperius Curse.
The original Imperius Curse, once used, will take effect instantly. The magic will turn the cursed being into a puppet of the caster, and then obey his orders to do things.
It is said that if Imperius Curse's proficiency is high enough, it can even make the person under the curse look like normal, with no trace at all visible.
The spell on Peeves is even more special. It was nothing at first, but the moment it was about to be controlled, the spell broke out.
At that time, Peeves had only one sentence in his mind - "Kill the person in front of you!" "Kill the person in front of you!" "Kill the person in front of you!"
The constant repetition of this cycle continuously strengthens the self-suggestion and also brings about a huge increase in power.
If it were placed outside the school, this matter would not be a trivial matter, and Ministry of Magic might need to come forward to check and resolve it.
But when it appears in school, this matter becomes even more problematic.
This is Hogwarts! "Those brave guys... what do they want to do? Using Imperius Curse in the school is simply not taking us seriously..."
Furious emotions seemed to twist this corridor.
The professors, who had not noticed anything at first, suddenly seemed to have discovered something. They were surprised, what happened to the professor who was very gentle at this time...
They rushed here one after another.
But Dippet completely erased all traces here, so that even if Prior Incantato comes again, nothing will be noticed.
After he dealt with the professors who came one by one, he slowly returned to Headmaster's Office. The moment he closed the door, the smile on his face disappeared instantly and became as cold as ice.
"Dare to cause trouble in the school... It seems that someone has forgotten the reputation of Hogwarts..."
