Sharpen Your Knives

[Ellory Pendergast]

Oh, Peeves. The poltergeist was one of the few things that Ellory wouldn’t really miss after she graduated. Him and potion assignments.

“You don’t, really,” Ellory replied with a smile. Trying to deal with him was just a waste of time and energy. If he put his mind to something, then he could accomplish it. “Getting the Bloody Baron to stop him often helps. But he’s the Slytherin prefects’ area of expertise, really.” She couldn’t remember ever talking to the Slytherin ghost. In fairness, he kind of unnerved her. There were ghosts with far worse death scars than him, but at least their attitude made you look past them.
