"I wanted to say—remember to write to me! I'll definitely write back!"
Nina suddenly smiled, waved helplessly, "Okay! I got it!"
The small boat pushed away the waves without needing to row, rippling as it sailed into the distance.
Becky looked at her friend curiously. "Nina, why did you go to find Professor McGonagall earlier?"
"I submitted an application."
"What application?"
"I'll tell you when school starts."
Karl watched the direction they were sailing in for a while before turning and walking toward the Castle.
He spun his wand faster and faster, feeling a bit lost and irritable.
Nina didn't treat him like a friend at all; she hadn't told him about this earlier.
It left Karl not knowing what to say or do for a moment.
Just as he reached the first floor of the Castle, Peeves appeared, holding a dungbomb, looking at Karl viciously.
"Nasty little brat! Peeves the Poltergeist is here for revenge again!"
Seeing that Peeves was about to throw the dungbomb, Karl didn't react at all.
Since Easter, Peeves' pranks had never succeeded, because "You are not allowed to bully Little wizards!"
Moaning Myrtle, who looked exactly like Peeves, appeared, spreading her arms to block between Karl and Peeves.
When Dumbledore used the stone of destiny to repair the ravenclaw diadem, he had also awakened Moaning Myrtle.
Thus, Peeves' nightmare was born, because there was now an opponent in the Castle with skills equal to his own.
"It's you again! Go away! Don't disturb Lord Peeves!"
"I'm not leaving! I'm going to watch you! You are not allowed to play pranks or bully Little wizards!"
Peeves was so angry he was about to smoke. "Where did you pop out from, you annoying ghost!"
Moaning Myrtle pounced on him, snatched all the dungbombs, and threw them out the window. "The Principal said that I am your brother."
"Ahhh! So annoying!"
The angry Peeves crashed into the wall and disappeared, his voice filled with despair.
"Mr. Karl Orolin, so it was you. I hope you are not angry."
Moaning Myrtle bowed deeply to Karl. Dumbledore had said that this little wizard had saved her.
"Thank you for your help, you've worked hard."
"You're welcome, it's what I should do. Goodbye, Mr. OLaughlin, I'm going to find Peeves."
"Okay, goodbye."
Watching Moaning Myrtle also disappear into the wall, Karl's mood improved slightly. With this little guy around, the Castle was much more harmonious; both the Professors and the Little wizards were very happy.
As for Filch, he was even more so.
Of course, except for Peeves.
Arriving at the Gryffindor Dean's office on the second floor of the Castle, Professor McGonagall was organizing documents.
Seeing Karl, she raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Back so soon? But why do you look so listless? Don't you want to go clean the room?"
"Of course not!" Karl scratched his head. "Minerva, let's go now."
Professor McGonagall nodded slightly, pulled an application form from the documents, folded it, and held it in her hand.
"Fine, we will go directly by Floo powder. But do you really not have anything troubling you that you want to confide in me about?"
"No!"
Karl shook his head vigorously, then followed Professor McGonagall and disappeared into the flames of the fireplace.
To be honest, the experience was not comfortable.
The huge roaring sound was deafening, and the field of vision was full of swirling green flames.
His body felt like it had entered a washing machine, and in the spin-dry mode at that.
In a trance, Karl felt like he had forgotten something.
At the front gate of Hogwarts, the seven poor souls who had been stood up by Karl were still waiting.
Charlie was teaching Cedric, Summers, George, and Fred special Quidditch techniques, such as how to elbow an opponent during a match without anyone noticing.
Meanwhile, Judy was chatting with Tonks, from the dresses they were wearing to their employment choices after graduation.
Unknowingly, time slipped away, and the few people who were parched with thirst suddenly fell silent.
Wait, that's not right!
Dammit!
Where is that bastard Karl Orolin?
