Chapter 153 My Friend Myrtle

After about ten minutes, Hermione came out with a little witch who was a little shorter than her.

She has the same red hair as Ron, but is much more handsome than Ron, but her disheveled hair, eyes red and swollen from crying, and listless expression seriously drag down her appearance.

When Ginny came out and saw so many people looking at her, including Harry, she immediately hid behind Hermione with her cheeks on fire.

David signaled Harry and the others to sit where they were, and he got up and walked to a table in the corner, beckoning Hermione to bring Ginny over.

After Ginny and Hermione were ready, David said softly, "Hi, I'm David Scamander, a good friend of Ron's."

Ginny lowered her head and said nothing, the tension in her heart could be seen from her tense body.

"It's okay, don't be too nervous, I just came to chat with you." David said softly, and gradually his pupils dilated a little.

Ginny still lowered her head and did not respond, while David remained silent.

Hermione thought that David didn't know how to continue the conversation, and she began to comfort Ginny softly.

This made Ginny's emotions gradually ease, and she slowly raised her head.

Hermione winked at David, motioning him to continue asking.

David came back to his senses, maintained a gentle smile, and then said: "Okay, it's okay, you can go back and have a good sleep, don't worry too much, those are all done when you are unconscious, all It's not your fault, and I promise, it won't hurt any more creatures!"

Ginny's eyes widened in an instant, and she looked at David at a loss, her whole body was shaking. David's words pierced the biggest secret in her heart.

"Trust me, I'll help you get rid of it." David comforted softly.

Hermione didn't know what happened, she knew that Ginny seemed a little bit broken after David said a word.

"There are many dangerous things in the magical world. They cleverly hide around us and try their best to lure us to avoid mistakes. Let alone a first-year student like you, even many wizards who have graduated for a long time will inevitably be recruited. Can't blame you, if he doesn't make it, there's nowhere to put the faces of graduate wizards."

David went on to say: "And now things are over, everything is over, what you need to do is to learn from it, and leave the rest to me, I assure you, it will not appear here again In school, and anyone hurt by it will recover quickly."

Ginny stared blankly at David for a moment, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes.

"Go, go and have a good sleep, and when you wake up, you will find that everything has returned to normal." David used his wand to create a breeze to wipe away the tears on her face, and straightened her up. messy hair.

Ginny continued to sit for a while, nodded, and looked at David with gratitude.

After Ginny turned and walked a few steps, she suddenly turned her head again and looked at David longingly.

"Don't worry, I'll keep it secret for you. Go back and rest at ease. I hope to see your smile tomorrow. Weasley is synonymous with optimism." David said solemnly.

A few more crystal tears rolled down Ginny's red cheeks. She turned around and ran quickly towards the dormitory. She needed to vent her emotions. She was under too much pressure these days.

"What happened to Ginny?" Hermione asked curiously after Ginny left.

Ron and the others also surrounded him. They only saw David say a few words to Ginny, and then Ginny ran back.

"You bullied Ginny?"

Ron looked as if he would rush up and beat David up if David said yes.

"No, how could I bully her? It's just that I promised her about Ginny's affairs. I won't tell anyone else. Maybe she will tell you herself when she thinks about it one day."

David waved his hand and said.

Ron and the others looked at each other in confusion.

"Okay, forget about Ginny, did you find anything in the corridor?" David asked.

Hermione shook her head: "We found that the spiders all came out of the girls' bathroom, but after we went in and checked for a while, Percy came and drove us back."

"Did you see a black notebook in there?" David asked.

Just now he used Bai Ze's ability to probe Ginny's recent memory about the notebook.

When Ginny knew that David was Newt's grandson, knew a lot about magical animals, and was still looking for the monster in the Chamber of Secrets, she panicked, for fear that David would find out that she had released the monster.

So she hurriedly threw the notebook into the girls' bathroom next to the corridor with the writing on it.

Hermione tilted her head and thought for a while: "No, although we only searched for a while, we will definitely see something bigger like a notebook."

no?
Was it taken away again?

There was a moment of doubt in David's heart, but there was still no change on the surface. He said naturally, "Okay, are you going to the library now? I'm going to look up information about basilisks."

Harry and Ron shook their heads again and again, only Hermione said she wanted to go together.

After leaving the lounge, Hermione approached David and said, "Are you going to the girls' bathroom?"

"So smart?" David said with a smile.

"Of course, I used this excuse first." Hermione said proudly: "And you are too bad at using it, aren't you looking for information about basilisks? The library doesn't have everything in your notes! Only Harry would believe it."

David smiled and knocked Hermione on the head, and led her to the girls' bathroom.

On the side of the corridor, there is a dilapidated door with the word "Failure" hanging on it. It shakes occasionally and makes a creaking sound. If it is at night, it is like going to the scene of a horror movie.

"Keep your voice down. Weeping Myrtle lives here. She cries every day. If we disturb her, we will not be clean."

Hermione held the brass handle with her hand, and waited until David nodded before she pushed it away.

David probed in and looked in. This was a bathroom that had been abandoned for a long time.

As soon as the door was opened, there was a dark, damp musty smell, and directly in front of the door was a cracked mirror, which split the figures of David and Hermione in two.

There were stains all over the floor, and the wooden doors to the cubicles were chipped, scratched, and loose, dangling from side to side.

I have to say that the terrifying atmosphere is a little stronger, if a ghost suddenly appears
"You are back again?"

A sudden sound from a cubicle startled David.

"That's Myrtle, don't make her sad!"

Hermione grabbed David by the arm and said softly.

David looked towards the place where the sound came out, and a transparent figure rose from the compartment.

She had long, straight brown hair, thick eyes on a nose, and a sad look in an old school gown.

"Are you here to visit the girls' bathroom too?"

Myrtle ignored Hermione, who was next to her, and looked intently at David.

Visiting the girls' bathroom?
David gave Hermione a strange look, and then remembered Hermione's words, not to make Myrtle angry.

"No, I'm here to see you." David said seriously.

"Did you come to see me?"

Myrtle was extremely surprised, and she floated to David's side in an instant: "Is what you said true?"

"Of course." Feeling Myrtle's eyes, David was a bit overwhelmed, but he still held back forcefully: "I heard that Hermione has a girl who has been crying here, so I just want to see if you need My help."

"Yes, of course."

Myrtle flew up and circled in the air, and then stopped in front of David, sticking very close: "Can you chat with me?"

"Of course no problem, it's my pleasure!"

The corners of David's mouth twitched as Hermione quietly pinched him again, and had to say her technique was getting better and better.

"Then what should we talk about first?"

Myrtle was happily wandering around the bathroom.

"Why do you stay here all the time? I mean why doesn't a pretty girl like you go out?"

When Myrtle wasn't looking, David quietly reached out and pulled Hermione's hand from her waist and squeezed her.

"Are you saying I'm beautiful?" Myrtle floated in front of David again, a little shy: "You're the first person to say that about me."

Apparently she automatically ignored the rest of David's words.

"Yes, you're beautiful, but why don't you go out? Like all the other ghosts."

There is no way, David can only repeat the question just now.

"They will bully me when I go out, and they are not as friendly as you." Myrtle floated in the air and looked at David and continued: "And I died here, this is like my home."

"You died here?"

David's expression was extremely surprised and extremely sad.

This made Myrtle very useful, she recalled: "Yes, I died here. The day Olive Hornby laughed at me for looking like a four-eyed dog with glasses, I couldn't bear it!"

"Oh, he shouldn't have said that, it was so rude!" David snapped.

"I think so too." Myrtle nodded with satisfaction, and continued, "So I hid here, locked the door, and cried inside alone. But I suddenly heard a boy's voice, but here the girl is washing Room! So I wanted to open the door and yell at him to leave, but as soon as I opened the door, I saw a pair of big yellow eyes, and then I died."

After finishing speaking, Myrtle floated in the air in a daze, her head tilted, her expression was very confused, obviously she still didn't figure out how she died.

When Voldemort first opened the Chamber of Secrets?

"Do you remember where you saw those eyes?" David asked.

"It's here." Myrtle spun around in the air, and then she pointed to the pool below her: "It should be right here."

David stepped forward to the sink, and after careful inspection, he saw a small snake carved on the side of a faucet.

This should be the switch of the secret room, right?

I'll see Harry some other day.
"Then have you seen anyone here recently?" David said.

"There was a little red-haired girl who came a few times, but her expression looked scary, so I stayed away every time."

Myrtle seemed to find the words unconvincing, and she imitated it, her eyes glazed over and her expression glazed over like a puppet being manipulated.

At that time, Ginny should have been controlled, and I don't know who gave her the notebook, this person also has problems
David thought for a moment, then continued: "Then has she been here these two days?"

"Of course!" Myrtle suddenly became a little angry: "She came here a few days ago, and she was crying along the way, and she didn't have that terrible expression on her face, and I was in a good mood that day, and I was about to come out to comfort her. , but she, but she actually picked up the book in her hand as if I had thrown it over, although "

Seeing that Myrtle lost control and was about to burst into tears, David hurriedly said softly, "Did she hurt you?"

Myrtle was taken aback, and the tears that flowed to the corners of her eyes were withdrawn in the blink of an eye: "That's not true, it passed through my body directly, I can't feel it."

"That's good." David finished speaking reassuringly, then paused for a moment and continued, "Is that notebook still there? I'll take it back and teach that student a lesson!"

"Yes, yes, it's here." Myrtle said happily, and floated to a compartment and flew down, but soon she flew back again, with a depressed expression: "It's not here anymore, maybe it's in my room." While going out, someone came and took her away."

Wondering who would be in this abandoned girls' bathroom, could it be Filch?

He saw that the door was not closed properly, so he came in to check it, and then took the notebook away?
While David was contemplating, Myrtle seemed to have discovered something, she flew out through the wall, and flew back after a while.

"You go away, Filch is here, he will punish you if he sees you here."

"Okay, thank you, if possible, can you help me observe, is there any strange person coming here recently?" David said.

"Of course!" Myrtle patted her chest, and suddenly a bright smile bloomed on her face, and she flew in front of David: "Does that mean you will come to me in the future?"

"That's for sure, we are friends now!" David said very seriously.

"Friends? You said we are friends?" After seeing David nodding, Myrtle became more and more happy: "I have friends too!"

"By the way, hurry up, Filch will be here soon!"

Myrtle urged David to leave. Although she was very reluctant, she had to consider her friend and not let him be punished.

"Okay, see you another day!"

David waved to Myrtle.

"See you some other day!" Myrtle's voice was sweet.

After leaving the bathroom, Hermione whispered, "Are you serious? I mean you really want to be friends with Myrtle?"

"Yes." David nodded as a matter of course: "Actually, she is quite pitiful. She was bullied and killed by a basilisk accidentally. The other ghosts don't like her, so she can only stay here alone. .”

David also saw the shadow of Tariq from Myrtle, who was also bullied and disliked by others.

It's just that Tariq is lucky that he is not alive, and after leaving school, there are family members and Catherine.

Hermione was silent for a moment, grabbed David's arm and said seriously: "Well, I will try my best to be friends with her."
