Chapter 333 Rumors
In this dreary rainy season, something happened that drove away the depression in the hearts of all the students in Hogwarts.

That is, Myrtle regained the colors she had when she was alive. Except that her identity as a ghost could be seen from her transparent body, she was no different from a living person.

She also broke into the Ravenclaw boys' dormitory.

It is said that she can now still touch real objects like a living person.

Harry Potter, the savior of the British wizarding world, is a strong supporter of this rumor.

He himself said that he was groped hard by Myrtle.

But no one believed that Harry Potter was just touched.

You know, Myrtle has been celibate for a long time, so would she be content with just a touch?
As for why only Myrtle is like this.

Everyone thought that it might be because she was the youngest of all the ghosts and ate the most at the time.

So she was the first to regain the characteristics of the living.

Perhaps this was why she was able to enter the Ravenclaw Tower.

So, in the following days, Harry was always looked at with sympathy by others.

Ginny didn't know how many pillowcases she had soaked with her tears.

The other little wizards in the school were also worried about losing their most precious things.

However, some people saw some kind of omen in this incident.

Therefore, in the Ravenclaw common room, little wizards who thought they were very charming would often approach Ms. Grey.

This is just one of the most famous bizarre things that happened at Hogwarts.

The boundary between the living and the ghosts seemed to be lost.

As the incident escalated, Professor McGonagall and other professors inspected and improved the lounges in each college.

This inspection revealed that Myrtle's entry into the Ravenclaw common room was an exception and only once.

The reason why she was able to enter was, firstly, that she possessed the characteristics of a living person, and secondly, that when she died, she was still a Ravenclaw student who had not graduated.

After she touched Harry and ran away, she was once again considered untouchable by the magic in Ravenclaw Tower.

As soon as this news was announced, the smell in Hogwarts became much better - because almost no one dared to take a bath before.

However, some people said that he saw disappointment on the faces of Slytherin students Crabbe and Goyle.

The fact that they dared to take a shower when they didn't know if Myrtle would still be able to break into the dormitory was also strong evidence.

Then, slowly, time came to Halloween, which was also the 500th anniversary of Nearly Headless Nick's death.

The auditorium was already decorated with live bats, as usual.
The huge pumpkins that Hagrid had grown were carved into lanterns, large enough for three people to sit inside.

Everyone had a warm smile on their faces, ready to celebrate Halloween.

"Harry, why haven't we gone to the Great Hall yet? I want to see what the Great Hall looks like first. You know, we have to attend Nick's Deathday Dinner." Ron circled around Harry anxiously.

"No, it's not like you don't know."

“Recently, many students have been eager to attend Nick’s death anniversary dinner.”

"Do you really think I don't know that they are trying to get closer to the beautiful ghost?"

"One or two of them are bothering me."

"Really? Why is Nick pushing everything onto my shoulders? He says that only with my permission can new living guests be added." Harry frowned.

But the thought of seeing Helena again made his heart lively again.

It’s all because of those damn guys that Helena rarely goes back to Ravenclaw’s tower.

But that was just as well, since she would not have attended an event like the Deathday dinner that was filled with ghosts.

But because of the harassment from other people, she felt that the death anniversary dinner was quiet.

Finally, he accepted the invitation to the Deathday dinner. "Nick thinks you have more influence!"

"By the way, Harry, do you know why Hermione's temper has been so bad recently?"

"Is it because of that Luna?" Ron started gossiping.

He had always occasionally paid attention to this witch of the same age whom she had initially had a crush on.

"No, Hermione made a bet with someone, probably with Ryan."

"The bet is whether the Deathday dinner will be held in a spare classroom in the basement as usual, or in the auditorium."

"And Hermione chose the Great Hall," Harry recalled.

"Oh, if I had Ryan's face, I would definitely be the next Lockhart! - The kind that hasn't been sent to prison!"

"But God also gave him a curse - he is easily overlooked."

"If I were cursed like this, I would go crazy!" sighed Ron, who loved being the center of attention.

"I almost didn't notice. Hermione's choice is outrageous. How could it be held in the Great Hall?"

"You know, it is said that ghosts other than those from Hogwarts will attend the Deathday dinner!" Ron said after he came out of his half-envious and half-sympathetic state of mind.

"Ron, Hermione would have won."

"But the Myrtle incident caused Professor McGonagall to veto the original plan to hold Nick's death anniversary in the Great Hall."

"It is said that Dumbledore is still very disappointed."

"For this purpose, he plans to invite a skeleton dance troupe to the auditorium to entertain everyone."

"Now, Hermione is probably the person who hates Myrtle the most besides me." Harry revealed his mask of pain.

He couldn't stop thinking about the cold hand that touched him.
"No, and Ginny."

"I heard from Luna that Ginny has recently been trying out a spell from The Quibbler that is said to be able to kill ghosts."

"But, Harry, were you really just groped?"

"You can tell me in secret, I'm your best friend." Ron's face was full of doubt.

"Shut up! Ron!"

"I was just groped!" Harry exclaimed.

This voice made many Ravenclaw students who consciously distanced themselves from them turn their heads.

They also became more and more convinced that Harry Potter was definitely not just touched once.

Harry obviously understood this as well, and he stood up shakily.

They began to walk in different directions towards the Deathday dinner, like the walking dead.

Along the way, Harry in this state also blocked others from approaching.

Because no one dared to approach Harry like this, Harry who looked like he would pull out his wand and give Avatar to anyone who approached him.

Behind Harry, Ron, who didn't dare to get too close to Harry, also half-confirmed their guess.

The hall was decorated with colorful lights, flickering candles, and golden plates on the tables, which was very tempting, but Harry and the others still walked towards the dungeon classroom.

Harry didn't feel like sleeping, but Ron didn't dare to.

Draco, who had just approached, looked confused.

After a few minutes, he finally couldn't help but ask Ron: "What's wrong with him?"

"Nothing, it's still about Myrtle." Ron pulled the corners of his mouth unnaturally, revealing a stiff smile.

"Harry is really too kind. I think I should write a letter to Mr. Weasley and ask the Ministry of Magic to restrict the area where Myrtle can move - the bathroom on the third floor." Draco showed a sinister expression.
