"Malfoy and Myrtle, what are they doing together?" Ron immediately asked with a gossipy look on his face after hearing Harry say that he saw Malfoy and Myrtle together through the Marauder's Map.

"I was also very curious, so I chased after him." Harry showed an innocent expression, as if explaining to everyone that it was very reasonable for him to run to Malfoy just now. "At first I just wanted to hide at the door and listen, but even if I put my ear to the bathroom door, I couldn't hear anything, so I gently opened the door and walked in."

When Harry walked into the bathroom, he saw Malfoy standing with his back to the door, holding the sink with his hands, his pale yellow head lowered. And in a cubicle came Myrtle's gentle voice. "Don't be like this... Tell me what it is... I can help you..."

"No one can help me," Malfoy said, shaking all over. "I can't do it... I can't do it... I can't do it... If it's not done quickly... He said he would kill me..."

"Who is that guy here?" Hermione asked after hearing Harry's story. "The You-Know-Who?"

"I don't know." Harry shook his head. "But I guess it should be, because at that time I happened to see Malfoy's face through a mirror on the wall. His face was very pale, and tears kept pouring out of his eyes. At this time, I can't think of anyone other than Voldemort who could force him to this point."

"Then, you saw Malfoy at this time, and I think Malfoy should have seen you too. What did he do at this time?" Ryan asked, "You didn't just start fighting without saying a word at this time, did you?"

"How did you know?" Harry asked. "Of course, I didn't start it. He turned around and pulled out his wand at the same time. In that situation, I could only pull out my wand to defend myself. And the first magic was also fired by Malfoy. I swear that magic was not a safe magic. Fortunately, he missed and smashed a wall lamp on the wall. But my counterattack didn't work either. He blocked my hanging bell."

"Then I accidentally broke a toilet during the fight, and I slipped on the flowing water. Malfoy rushed up to me and wanted to cast a spell on me. I wanted to use the Sharpshooter, but I stopped when I remembered that Ryan told me that it was a dangerous dark magic. As a result, I was hit by Malfoy's Cruciatus Curse before I could switch to the next magic."

"This is simply - Harry, how do you feel now?" Ron asked excitedly. Although they knew that Harry was under the Cruciatus Curse when they entered the door, everyone couldn't help but worry about him when Harry talked about what happened when he was cursed.

"It's basically pain-free now. To me, the pain Malfoy's curse brought me was at most one-tenth of the pain Voldemort brought me when he entered my soul at the Ministry of Magic last year." Harry seemed optimistic. "After being hit by the Cruciatus Curse, I fell to the ground and fainted."

"Malfoy seemed to be frightened at the time. He was stunned for a moment and then ran desperately out of the bathroom. However, he failed to escape successfully. Myrtle, who witnessed the whole conflict, saw me fall down and shouted loudly. 'Murder! Murder in the bathroom! Murder!'"

"Her shout attracted Professor Snape who was passing by. After the door slammed open, Professor Snape grabbed Malfoy who was running out. Then you tried a few spells to check my condition and sent me here. At the same time, you notified Professor McGonagall on the way. I think you all know what happened next. I really hope that Malfoy will be severely punished this time." Harry said with longing.

"I hope so." Ryan comforted, but he didn't think Malfoy would be punished for his crime, because Hogwarts habitually kept itself out of the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic. Even the murder case when Voldemort was young could be fooled.

"By the way, where's Ginny? Didn't she come to see you?" Hermione asked suddenly.

"I specifically asked Professor McGonagall not to call her. Anyway, I will be able to attend classes normally tomorrow morning, so I don't want her to worry about me." Well, Harry will definitely be a good husband in the future. It can be seen from the fact that he still remembered Ginny after being hit by the Cruciatus Curse this time. The next few people only chatted for a few words before Madam Pomfrey rushed out of the office and drove them away. "Well, this child needs a quiet rest. It's better for you to leave now."

The next morning, Ryan came to the common room after washing up and saw a group of people surrounding the notice board. The notice board said that Draco Malfoy was criticized by the whole school for using dark magic on his classmates. At the same time, from now until the end of the semester, Malfoy would have to go to Snape for detention all weekends. In the end, Slytherin was deducted 200 points.

"It's totally different from what I thought." Hermione whispered to Ryan on the way to the hall for dinner. "If what Moody said in class last year is true, Malfoy should be sent to Azkaban for what he did now. This punishment is really too light."

"We can't help it. Under the current situation, Hogwarts is not suitable for conflict with the pure-bloods who control the Ministry of Magic. The Malfoy family is one of the important families that control the Ministry of Magic. From the recent conflicts, we can see that our side is originally in a weak position. Once we split with the magic department, the situation will be too dangerous."

Seeing Hermione's unconvinced look, Ryan continued, "Besides, even the laws of the ordinary world outside will reduce or exempt sentences for crimes committed by minors, so this situation is not too surprising."

After entering the hall, Ryan found Harry sitting at the table with a bitter face, and Ginny was sitting next to him muttering. After seeing Ryan and the others sitting next to them, Ginny said: "You should have told me yesterday about Harry's injury, and you shouldn't have listened to him and kept it from me."

"It was Harry who insisted at the time, and we took into consideration his condition and asked him not to get too excited, so we did as he said." Ryan quickly threw the blame to Harry, and then took Hermione to eat somewhere farther away.

"Ginny kept asking me questions for the entire breakfast time, as if I were made of glass and couldn't stand being touched. To be honest, I'm not that fragile." This was before the teacher walked into the classroom before class, Harry whispered to Ryan and his friends. "And what's worse is that everyone thinks so."

"Everyone?" Ryan knew that it was impossible to hide the fact that Harry was attacked this time, because too many people knew about it. Especially after Myrtle was shocked and shouted about it, almost the entire castle knew about it. The only thing that could be hidden was the specific spell that attacked Harry, but he couldn't figure out why an attack would make Harry feel that everyone thought he was untouchable. However, Ron's next sentence answered Ryan's doubts.

"Harry has been suspended from the next match. Yesterday, as soon as we started training, Madam Pomfrey came out of the hospital and forbade Harry to participate. She said that Harry's body was not suitable for participating in such an intense activity. Harry was not even allowed to watch the next match."

"Are you just going to listen to Madam Pomfrey so obediently? I don't believe it." Hermione said.

"Of course we won't give in just like that." Ron shrugged, "But Madam Pomfrey called Professor McGonagall out, and after being nagged by Professor McGonagall for 15 minutes, we had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​letting Harry participate in the next game."

"To be honest, they are not wrong. Patients who have been harmed by the Cruciatus Curse should indeed calm down while recuperating." Ryan said. "You still have a long life ahead of you. There is no need to take this risk for a game."
