Paragraph 5 - 23 : A Peeves Plan

A surprise awaited the students the very following day. Peeves was up to no good, but for a change, it seemed, with a careful plan. For students had seen him carrying in air heavy books that he held tight, as if they were precious to him. And most strangely, he was neither cackling nor even saying anything to anybody. In addition, he didn't use anything as a projectile. Many people wondered what he exactly was up to. Some students claimed this latest course of action bore a connection with his earlier visit of Snape's office. However, they didn't have the slightest idea of what this connection was, which meant that other students dismissed derisively the afore-mentioned claim.
