Though Peeves' little boredom problem was seeing some improvement, it was clear to anyone (and mostly to himself) that he was not done yet! He had been swooping through the castle and grounds, sometimes visible, sometimes not, and bestowing his generous gifts... well... generously.

Right now, he was perfectly visible, and zooming STRAIGHT for a boy who was sitting in one of these strangle bubbles as though on display, cLEARLY an invitation to come have some fun. Peeves flew right up to the entrance, let out a sudden and glorious CACKLE, brandished his book at the boy (Tadhg) by way of granting him his Very Own Gift, and darted quickly out of the doorway. He pressed his nose up against the outside of the dome and started pulling faces at the boy inside.
