Shrugging her shoulders Helena said "Many brilliant witches and wizards have taught at this school like the great late former headmaster and professor Albus Dumbledore over the years. Some of them like Dumbledore have probably been skilled at those practices of magic. I have not actually seen it though." Why was David so intrigued by this very advanced magic? It made her curious.

Nodding she confirmed. "Yes, ever since I became a ghost I've lived at Hogwarts." Shaking her slightly she said "No, a ghost can't leave the place they haunt. The place a ghost haunts has some extraordinary connection to them and how they died. I can't leave the castle and Moaning Myrtle for instance can't leave her bathroom." Helena knew there were exceptions though but she didn't bring those up. David didn't need to know everything.

"The spirit division in the Department of Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures at the ministry have some degree of power and jurisdiction over all existing and known ghosts and they chose where we shall live and see to our welfare but that doesn't mean they are always kind to us."

Oh good, he'd managed to avoid getting on the Grey Lady's permanent bad side. He'd heard she was touchy, he just hadn't known what she was so touchy about... til now.

"I..see," Davie slowly responded to the Grey Lady. He wanted to ask if any of the other ghosts knew anyone who could do occulmency or legilimency but that would probably just upset her again. He would have to take these questions to Professor Dakest, for sure.

David was pretty sure he had seen Moaning Myrtle outside her bathroom before, especially during the summer, but he didn't argue here. He again answered with a small, "Mmhmmm." Why wasn't the Ministry kind to the ghosts? "How old is the oldest ghost, Miss Grey Lady? Do you know?" Because she was pretty old and had seen a LOT. "What happened to Professor Binns who taught here a long long time ago?"
