Peeves' answer made Luke silent for a while.
His silent performance made Peeves think that he didn't believe it, so he quickly said: "Don't believe it, they had a good relationship before they quarreled. Every time they ate Hufflepuff's food in secret At that time, Gryffindor always took Slytherin with him."
"And Slytherin is sometimes left to take the blame by Gryffindor."
Luke's serious expression was almost unbearable. Unexpectedly, I could actually find out gossip about the Big Four from Peeves. And judging from Peeves' description, the images of Slytherin and Gryffindor are somewhat different from what I imagined.
Of course, Luke totally understands.
People don't just have one face.
While he was thinking, Peeves was also filled with helplessness. He was unwilling to mention the story of the Big Four to others. Because it's too far away.
They have been deified, just like Luke's reaction before. No slander can be tolerated.
But in his eyes, those four guys are just people who can laugh, make trouble, be fierce, and be gentle.
A Ravenclaw who knows everything except being a mother. A Slytherin who is calm and noble about everything, but will quickly break through once he's with Gryffindor. Brave, but very clever, Gryffindor who likes to play pranks the most.
There is also the flawless, gentle, kind, honest, reliable, noble and elegant Lord Hufflepuff!
The kid in front of me has the most annoying qualities of the two most annoying people. It really makes people dislike it at all.
"Slytherin's talent is 'Snake Language', which means he can talk to snakes, right? What is his talent magic?"
Luke was silent for a long time, then asked.
"It's true that his gift is snake language. As for the gift of magic... you are his descendant, you come to ask me?"
Peeves looked at Luke with disdain. Luke, on the other hand, was too embarrassed to speak.
"I knew I wouldn't ask!" Luke said angrily.
"I'll tell you if I know!" Peeves said, deliberately imitating Luke's tone.
Luke calmed down: "Haven't you seen him perform magic?"
"I've never seen him before. Think about it, who would be looking for trouble at that time? He doesn't need innate magic to fight Gryffindor. I doubt he has any." Peeves shook his head and said.
Luke was silent. If what Peeves said was true, then doubt would be normal. However, the notes left by the family say that there is, so there is a high probability that there is. If you speculate like this, either the cost is very high or the effect is too great. In short, it is not a magic that is convenient to use and contact.
"Where are the others?" Luke asked again.
"I won't tell you." Peeves shook his head, and then said before Luke waved his wand, "I don't know about Slytherin, so I can discuss it with you. But I really know about the last three, So I can’t tell you. Unless you find their inheritance.”
"Let me tell you a little secret. Their inheritance is all in the school~"
Peeves spoke in an almost seductive tone.
Luke didn't give him a disdainful look as he expected. After all, the news Peeves said has been circulating among the student community for hundreds of years.
But Luke's thinking was different. Although the credibility of Peeves is not high. But combined with the information given by the system, as well as the information Barrow said, Peeves was the product of research by one of the Big Four. He could be sure that Peeves was telling the truth.
The legacy of the Big Four really remains in Hogwarts, and has been sleeping here for thousands of years.
"Do you know the secret code of the Big Four's secret notes?"
Luke said in a determined tone.
"Nonsense! How do I know the solution! They..." Peeves quickly covered his mouth mid-sentence. He felt as if he had been tricked easily. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be so careless.
"You, you actually control my emotions!" He remembered his unwarranted arrogance before and shouted to Luke angrily.
"How do you know I'm not controlling your emotions now?" Luke said with a smile.
Peeves stopped talking. This made him feel like he had gone back a thousand years and met the bastard Gryffindor again.
"Ravenclaws aren't smart at all, are they?"
Luke said abruptly.
"Much smarter than you." Peeves sneered, "Stop testing, I won't tell you any other information."
Luke didn't care about his awkwardness and just smiled and said: "What on earth is Hufflepuff studying to find out about you?"
Peeves' originally small eyes narrowed into slits.
"It's really a combination of two troublemakers. It's really annoying."
After saying that, he floated upwards and entered the wall in a blink of an eye. Luke didn't care, put down the wand in his hand, and watched Peeves leave.
I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so I test her bit by bit, get closer bit by bit, and attract bit by bit. Slowly, achieve your goals.
Luke's eyes returned to the door. He didn't know what was behind this door, but his instinct told him. It's best to stay away for now. Just like he hasn't really entered the secret room yet.
Controlling yourself is the greatest strength.
So he turned around and left here for a greater future.
Climbing up the steps, Luke finally walked out of this secret place and returned to the corridor.
In front of the wooden door, Peeves poked his head upside down from the wall above.
"Is this kid... a little too determined? He has been tricked so many times and he still doesn't take the bait?"
He muttered to himself somewhat regretfully.
Then he glanced at the wooden door and said with regret, "I don't know when the trap I left here will be triggered."
"I've been waiting for this prank for almost a thousand years."
He said quietly.
As Luke walked out of here, the wall quickly returned to its original state. It's like it's never changed.
And it was just like when Luke came here, no one showed up.
Luke hugged Booker and slowly left here. He had to figure out the right way to get here. You can't just climb onto the balcony every time you come here.
After Luke left, Dumbledore walked towards this place from the far side of the corridor. He walked to the wall and looked at it. Dumbledore pondered for a long time, and finally just shook his head.

"Master, why are we looking for Peeves?"
Quirrell asked in his heart while greeting the students passing by.
"To show Luke the power of that spell... He doesn't seem to trust us, so..."
"I need to make him understand the beauty that power can bring."
Voldemort's dark voice responded to him.
So Quirrell asked no more questions and just silently looked for traces of Peeves.
