[Harry Potter] Reincarnated as a Ghost at Hogwarts

Samuel died in the prime of his youth, before he had the chance to enjoy the good things in life.

The good news: He was reborn.

The bad news: He was reborn as a ghost...

*

In his previous life, Samuel knew a little about the globally popular Harry Potter series, but not much.

But who could turn down becoming a wizard and starting a life at Hogwarts?

This time around, he really did live at Hogwarts, so Samuel pulled out a notebook and started taking notes:

1. Live at Hogwarts: done √

2. Become a wizard (this line was crossed out) Become a wizard after death: done √

He became a ghost.

That's right, a ghost who floated around Hogwarts all day, supposedly with an unfinished wish or some kind of obsession.

What's it like to start a life at Hogwarts as a ghost?

Samuel has this to say: Watching Peeves prank students, attending the ghosts' Halloween Feast, watching the new little lions battle the Dark Lord... But something's not right. This Dark Lord seems to have some connection to me...?

Warnings:

1. This work pays tribute to the classic fanfic A Portrait at Hogwarts, the story that introduced me to fanfiction.

2. The author has forgotten many details from the original, so please go easy on me if anything is wrong.

3. Run if you don't like extensive original worldbuilding. It borrows some details from The Inheritance, HPMA, and the films, but the overall setting follows the original.
