Can someone please help me? There is a ghost at the corridor and I do not know how to get away.

[Obviously, no one has explained to Ib that the ghosts in Hogwarts aren't like the vengeful ones from Japanese folk tales.]


[Later in the day...this is filtered to Shinra]

Kishitani-senpai, here's the picture.

[Enclosed is a very nice crayon drawing of the Hogwarts lake. There's the sun in the sky, the castle in the background and a whole bunch of students, some swimming, some flailing in the water, some sun-bathing, and some sitting down and just chatting with friends or reading books. While Ib did not draw any student in particular, there are two figures she made sure to get right. Underneath the tree, Shinra should find a recognizable depiction of him and Ib sitting together.]

I hope it is to your liking.

Bloody hell, just walk past it. It's not going to hurt you.

But ghosts eat people.

... You have to be pulling my leg.

Do you really think they'd let ghosts that eat people into a school full of kids? It's not going to eat you. It might not even talk to you.

[Like everyone else, she doesn't get back to Arthur's journal entry until later when the crisis is resolved.]

He explained things to me. I apologize for making such a silly mistake. I thought he was a vengeful spirit.

[He's almost forgotten about it when he sees the message, but the girl's panic from earlier drags itself up from the back of his mind before he makes the mistake of asking her what the hell she's talking about]

Ah. Good, then.
The only one you need to keep an eye out for is Peeves.

He is the pultre poltergest in the castle? I will keep away from him, thank you,
