171 Chapter 170 Ghost Wizard and Guide

The small captain wasn't the only one.

Below deck, the other ghosts that followed him also floated out from behind.

These ghosts, who were obviously all dressed as seamen, each had weapons in their hands and a fierce look, as if they were really ready to rob Jon's ship.

"Hand over the treasures! Little brats!" The small captain waved his sabre, which was half his height, and the parrot standing on his shoulder shouted, "Captain Jack only wants money, not life!"

Following Captain Jack's lead, the vicious ghost seamen also shouted after him.

"Hand over the treasure! You will be spared from death!"

Jon, George as well as Neville, the three of them looked at each other.

Gabrielle's face did not show any panic or fear, instead, she drifted to the side of the pirate ghosts and shouted happily with enthusiasm.

"Hand over the treasure! You will be spared from death!"

She treated this as a role-playing playhouse.

To be honest, the appearance of the ghost ship sailing towards them was indeed quite scary, but after seeing these ghosts come forward, Jon and the others felt that it seemed more like a farce.

Even if the ghosts can still exist in the world of the living, they have no way to cause half a substantial impact on reality, at most, they will scare the wizards or muggles who are ignorant.

But whether it's Jon or George or Neville, they are not people who don't know what is going on.

These ghost pirates may look scary, but in fact, they can't do anything to them.

Jon asked tentatively.

"Well, may I ask you, Captain Jack, what kind of treasure do you need?"

"Surely, nippy little brats!" The small captain tilted his head proudly, and the parrot on his shoulder said in an equally timely and proud voice, "Of course, we only want gold, silver and jewels!"

"With all due respect, Captain, even if we had gold, silver and jewels to give you, your ship won't be able to take them away."

Captain Jack was indignant, and the parrot on his shoulder looked like it was jumping in anger.

"How can you talk like this! Are you insulting Captain Jack!"

Jon was speechless, he increasingly felt that this gang of ghost pirates who are idling on the sea without much to do, specifically come towards them for fun.

And just when Captain Jack angrily swung his sabre at them, which simply couldn't do any half damage to Jon other than being cold, a helpless voice sounded up from the lower deck.

"Drake, stop fooling around, don't forget your deal with Dumbledore."

Another ghost drifted up from the lower deck, he had silver curly hair and looked like a man who died in middle age, wearing a medieval noble robe.

The last ghost that floated up, just from the dress you can tell, he's very different from these pirate ghosts that came out before.

His expression looked amiable when he saw Jon and co, he also nodded towards them with a friendly gesture.

It's just, a chilling scene occurred.

No idea if he nodded with too much force, his head suddenly crooked from his neck, leaving only a little bit of flesh still barely connecting his head together!

This scene shocked Jon and the boys, they all took a step back, only to hear the ghost whose head almost fell off his neck re-set his head straight, and then apologized over and over again.

"Ah, I'm really sorry, but I believe you should be able to understand, the executor of my execution did not have a good grasp of strength, so my head was not completely cut off, which I am also very distressed about, because of this I could not join the Headless Hunt."

He was chattering away, looking like a chatterbox.

Captain Jack seemed to be very dissatisfied with the ghost who appeared later, whose style was completely different from all of them, and the parrot that kept jumping around on his shoulder screamed.

"Stupid Nicholas! You ruined Captain Jack's master plan! Our ship failed to get all the gold and silver treasures! You have to compensate!"

"Hey! Don't joke around with everyone here, Drake, it's time for you to finish the job today, don't you guys all want to find a place to celebrate the holiday a while ago, in fact, this place is just fine."

The broken-headed ghost known as Nicholas looked up with a relaxed face at Hogwarts, he wriggled his neck with so much movement that it was worrying whether his head would fall off his neck again in the next second.

Jon heard the ghost and Captain Jack's conversation, he looked at the broken-headed ghost with a strange look on his face and asked.

"You know Headmaster Dumbledore, sir?"

"Although I prefer to be called Sir Nicholas, people who are more intimate address me as Nick."

He made himself known, and Jon finally registered at this time who he is 100 percent.

The head that nearly failed to be cut off with a bit of flesh and bone connecting, Sir Nicholas the Nearly Headless Nick, none other than Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, the original Gryffindor resident ghost of Hogwarts!

Jon had actually been wondering where all those ghosts in the former Hogwarts had gone when he was lurking in the castle.

He did not see them either in the wagon or in the castle, and as a result, he did not expect to see one of them after leaving the territory of Britain.

George's eyes widened when he heard Nicholas introduce himself, and he had obviously heard of this name as well.

"I think I've heard of you before, Bill told me that when he first entered Hogwarts Castle before he went to the wagon in exile, the Gryffindor had a ghost named 'Nearly Headless Nick'!"

Nicholas didn't look very pleased with this title that George addressed him, and he said with some self-loathing.

"Well, I knew there would always be someone who would remember that nickname! I've been out of that castle for so long, I still haven't gotten rid of it yet!"

He muttered a few words, but he hadn't forgotten, the actual question Jon had just asked.

"As the red-haired boy said, I used to be the resident ghost of Gryffindor House, the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but I left that castle after it was occupied by someone who shouldn't have claimed it. In the end, even Gryffindor House is no longer there, so there is no need for me to continue to stay there."

"After I left, I travelled through the wizarding world for a while with the Fat Friar, the resident ghost of Hufflepuff. But Dumbledore found me and wanted me to help him out with something, so I joined Drake's fleet and spent many years drifting the seas with him. Then just a little while ago, Dumbledore wrote to me that you guys had entered the sea and specifically asked me to come and find you guys to be your guide."
