Chapter 198 Covered Up
Going back again wasn't so scary.

The serpent had been taken away, and the basilisk and Professor Snape were at the bottom of the Chamber of Secrets, as was Percy.

The next step is to execute the basilisk, divide the materials, and then take them up. As for what benefits Andrew and Percy can get, it depends on how much Professor Snape pays the labor.

However, there is a high probability that nothing will be gained - but at least Andrew can get what Dumbledore promised during the last diary incident.

But during the slide, Andrew was surprised to find that Myrtle was stuck.

Yes.

Not long after going down, Myrtle got stuck and couldn't move, muttering, "Damn it, I can't go..."

Andrew didn't remember this until he fell - ghosts can only wander in places where they have been when they were alive, because these places are tainted with the mark of mysticism!

She had never been to the secret chamber, so she had no way of going there to witness revenge.

He immediately returned and trotted all the way to discuss with her - the final conclusion of the discussion was that it would be enough to just look at the snake skin and the bones, and it would be even better if they could send a snake head.

Andrew ran down again and discussed with Professor Snape, who had been waiting impatiently.

Fortunately, Professor Snape had become impatient and with a wave of his wand, he hit the basilisk's heart hard and then cut it in half with great skill.

The complete snake skin, two precious eyes, various internal organs - Andrew even suspected that even the excrement had been well separated and preserved.

In the end, the snake's blood was completely preserved, leaving only an empty skull - even the brain was torn apart by the spell.

Andrew and Percy each got a large piece of snake meat, and then were driven away. Fortunately, Professor Snape probably felt that it was too much. "I will give you two a potion made from snake bones. Go find the ghost."

...

"How much does yours weigh?"

"A little over two pounds?"

"Almost the same."

"Do you know any Hufflepuff experts?"

"Do we still need to look for him? Nazarov, he has a lot of complaints. Looking at his cooking skills, I always feel that it can't be processed without advanced gourmet magic."

"Okay, I'll go find Myrtle, and you take her to find Nazarov."

"Can you bring someone? Just one!"

...

Brothers and sisters don't care? Okay...

Andrew nodded and Percy smiled happily.

-

"This is the snake skin, which Professor Snape loaned me temporarily. This is its head."

Andrew showed the huge skull to Myrtle, "Professor Snape promised that you could do anything with the snake skull, and he decided to give it to you."

"Hmm...it does look a lot like it...I guess it killed me."

Myrtle sighed, "Probably. The noisy student just called it over, and then... I was about to yell, and then I died."

"You didn't even see the boy?"

"No, it just floated out, and I don't know how long it took for it to float back. Then I waited and waited until I saw Olive Hornby appear. Haha, her expression was really funny.

Myrtle said nonchalantly, "She laughed at me for looking like a four-eyed dog, and then she got scared. It's really funny..."

……

Such deep hatred and resentment?
but…

Andrew finally thought of a question.

"How come you've been chasing after her since graduation?"

"That's it!"

"What about your family?"

"Well, after taking my body, they stopped contacting the magic world, and they didn't want to acknowledge me... I didn't care too much... Well, that should be right?"...

Muggles cannot see ghosts... In most cases, Squibs and some special Muggles can, and some phenomena caused by ghosts can also be seen.

The books in the restricted section gave Andrew great support in this regard. After all, ghost is a form that cannot be avoided by transfiguration.

An invisible and inaudible being talks to me... Really...

Andrew sighed.

"The second to last question, are you a Muggle-born?"

"Of course," Myrtle said angrily, "I'm a Muggle-born. What's wrong with that? Isn't that why they laugh at me and exclude me?"

...

"And Olive Hornby, how is she?"

"Of course he is a wizard."

...

How does a Muggle-born wizard ghost get close to a wizard wedding and cause a scene?

How can a ghost who can only leave a mark after death break through the restrictions of the mark that cannot be broken now?

There is only one possibility.

Andrew sighed.

Myrtle had been there, had been to where Olive Hornby worked, so that she could cause trouble when Olive Hornby was working, had been to Olive Hornby's house, so that she could cause trouble when Olive Hornby's brother was getting married.

He did not rule out the possibility that Olive Hornby's brother was not a wizard, but it was more likely that they had visited each other than the fact that they had grown up together, lived in overlapping areas and both attended Hogwarts.

Hagrid was expelled because of Myrtle, because Myrtle died - if Dumbledore hadn't vouched for him, Hagrid might even have gone to Azkaban.

And Andrew also knew that Hagrid was framed at the time - so there must be an investigation.

He didn't even cooperate with the investigation and was only thinking about killing Olive Hornbe.

But I have been to her home and her workplace.

Plastic sisters fighting?
Someone betrayed a friendship?
Or was it because of the atmosphere at that time?
It is unknown... Olive Hornby has already sought asylum from the Ministry of Magic, so I think he has already tried his best to reconcile.

Myrtle is not willing to reconcile...

Slightly older than Professor McGonagall, Olive Hornby was probably still alive.

Her knot in her heart will probably only be resolved after Olive Hornby dies, and she will take the final step towards becoming a ghost, right?
'Would you like to write a letter?'

"Forget it. Maybe Olive Hornby only tortures Myrtle. Besides, I can't do this in anyone's name..."

Unable to reconcile or persuade the other party to leave because of the slightest possibility of disturbing another person's peaceful life, Andrew finally shook his head.

The two might never have anything to do with each other again, or they might have a quarrel and apologize to each other and forgive each other, or they might continue to fight many years later. All possibilities were wiped out - Andrew was powerless to do anything except one thing.

"I'll kill that Tom."

"Who's Tom?"

"Another murderer."

"Okay, good luck then."

Myrtle touched the snake skull and tried to look happy.

"It will definitely happen. It won't take long."

Andrew nodded, looking serious.

Mediation and the like are really beyond his ability and he is not good at it.

But, um…

He touched his wand, and a warm current flashed through his heart at this reliable friend. 'I am still somewhat confident that I can kill the real murderer and avenge him...'
