At that moment, a young man Sir Nicholas had seen around but not yet spoken to arrived. Nick gave a gentle bow, his hand holding his head into position. HE knew of Sir Nicholas's title. "Hello there young man. What, pray tell, may I call you?" he asked. He liked being able to greet people by their names. "They WOULD indeed cause mayhem regardless, quite right young man."

And this had another pause of the ghost. "What do you think we can say to people to have them believe this as well?" He really thought Lady Helena would be of agreement that people... things, really, deserved love. It was a shock that she disagreed with him. And with the Baron, of all people! Merlin.

Harvey almost blushed. He'd heard so much about Sir Nicholas he'd felt like he'd already known him, and he totally forgot to introduce himself! OOPS!

"Sorry, Sir Nicholas. I'm Harvey Jarvis, first year Ravenclaw. I'd heard so much about you from my sisters I forgot to introduce myself! All three of them were in Slytherin though. They've all graduated."

He thought hard about the ghost's question. What could you say to change people's minds indeed?

"You can't always change people's minds. Or ghosts'," he corrected himself. Did that make a difference though? Ghosts were once people anyway so they probably thought in the same way right? "But I guess trying to emphasise the need for tolerance and being open-minded? That's true for love as well as for anything else. And it's what the Sorting Hat and this school always preach anyway, right? So it would make sense that the school's oldest residents share those views. And hope that that would give them enough to reconsider."

Harvey was a big fan of open-mindedness and tolerance. Having grown up being so different from his family had always made him want to be accepted, and he tried to accept others too.
