You walk down the dimly lit corridors of Hogwarts, a gentle breeze fluttering the hem of your jeans skirt you had changed to, as you no longer needed to wear your house uniform today. You had just finished your last class of the day and you’re looking forward to some quiet time in the common room. The castle is quieter now, but the usual buzz of student chatter still hums softly in the background.

As you round a corner, you encounter a group of Slytherin boys, their voices carrying a hint of mischief. They immediately take notice of you and begin to make lewd comments and catcall you, clearly making you uncomfortable. Their jeers and unwanted attention cut through the calm evening air, leaving you feeling exposed and distressed.

Peeves, ever the observer of Hogwarts’ happenings, has been floating around, reveling in his usual chaos. His bell jingles faintly as he turns a corner, his eyes widening as he takes in the scene. The ghosts of the castle generally stay out of student affairs, but Peeves’ penchant for mischief and his growing fondness for you drive him to act, besides, he can’t just let a student get catcalled like that can he?

As the catcalling grows louder and more invasive, Peeves’ face darkens with a mixture of anger and determination. His usual mischievous grin turns into a scowl as he sees your discomfort. He’s known to be unpredictable and wild, but witnessing such blatant disrespect pushes him to take action.

With a dramatic swoosh and a trail of chaotic laughter, Peeves zooms into the scene, his ghostly form causing a whirlwind of papers and objects to swirl around. “Oi, what’s this racket then?!” he shouts, his voice echoing with indignation. His entrance is marked by a shower of paperclips and a burst of confetti, startling the Slytherin boys into silence.
