The sickly, iron-fisted beauty in Harry Potter

Myrtle felt insulted.

As the owner of this bathroom, how could she not know who came in and who was using it?

At this time, Dolly is the only one here.

So Myrtle said earnestly, "She's not here, don't you believe me?"

"No, I believe you."

"Then why aren't you leaving?"

But I need to find Hermione!

Myrtle frowned and looked Dolly up and down.

Finally, he came up to Dolly and examined her eyes closely, a look of horror on his face.

"A Soul-Stealing Curse?"

Terrified, she immediately scurried into the small room next door and hid inside the toilet.

At that moment, she no longer felt that the toilet was an insult to her; this porcelain treasure was her warm home.

However, after hiding for a while, and finding that Dolly was still singing and no one rushed out to hurt her, Myrtle became bolder and started awkwardly chatting with Dolly again.

"What were you doing here that day? Was it a date?"

"We're just good friends, not dating. Besides, we're only first and second graders."

Myrtle curled her lip, looking as if she didn't believe it.

It's just a date, not a serious one. It's like playing a game, what's wrong with that?

"And what's the deal with that brown-haired Hermione?"

"She's also my good friend."

"A good friend like Qiu Zhang?"

"Uh-huh."

Myrtle laughed heartily, as if she had seen through everything.

She hadn't been this happy in a long time. After all, most people at Hogwarts looked down on her for living in a toilet, and Myrtle didn't think she could find any friends.

And now, facing Dolly... well, Dolly doesn't seem like her friend at all, but rather an unlucky soul cursed with a death curse.

Is Hogwarts really that dangerous now, with first-year students getting hit by the Imperius Curse?

Oh no, it seems like Hogwarts wasn't very safe in the past either, otherwise how did she die?

The two continued talking until a heavy footstep sounded.

Myrtle's expression changed, and she secretly slipped out to take a look, only to find that it was a giant monster.

The giant scratched its head, looking at the forked roads around it, seemingly unsure which way to go.

But after a beam of light struck it, the giant seemed to understand and turned to walk towards Dolly.

Myrtle realized something was wrong and rushed in to stop Dolly from singing.

But she couldn't; she was just a ghost, and she couldn't do anything.

In desperation, Myrtle crawled into the showerhead and used her only strength to turn on the switch, allowing cold water to pour over Dolly.

Dolly shuddered, but remained unmoved; she was going to find Hermione here.

Myrtle was now at a loss.

She thought Dolly was definitely dead, but she wondered if Dolly would feel wronged after her death. If she also became a ghost, she wouldn't mind being Dolly's neighbor.

Perhaps Dolly could live in the showerhead, one above and one below.

After imagining the scene, Myrtle even found it quite amusing.

But then she thought about her own death, and that feeling was anything but fun.

There's a reason she's considered a ghost baby.

The biggest difference between her and other ghosts is that, because she died so recently, she still retains too many of the emotions and compassion she had in life.

So when she saw the giant approaching, Myrtle knew she couldn't wait any longer.

She bravely rushed out of the toilet and headed towards the Great Hall of Hogwarts, where a Halloween party was being held, a party whose ghostly performances never invited her.

In the past, Myrtle would never have come—although she rarely came out anyway.

Hermione was restless at the banquet.

Where is Dolly?

She had asked herself this question countless times, but she could never find the answer.

In her anxiety, she even had to turn to look at Cho Chang across from her and mouth, "Do you know where Dolly went?"

Qiu Zhang shook his head, also looking very anxious.

However, she could take out her pendant to check on Dolly's condition.

The small piece of jade, symbolizing Dolly's health, is still a pale yellow color, which proves that Dolly is alright and is probably hiding somewhere and doesn't want to come out.

"Hermione, we should talk, for Dolly's sake."

Cho Chang mouthed the words, and Hermione covered her face in annoyance before finally nodding.

She shouldn't have argued with Dolly.

Although Dolly wanted her to make another friend, and she seemed to be doing so, Hermione knew that she was essentially still conflicted.

Because of Dolly's pendant, she felt that Dolly had completely exceeded the scope of her daily life, and if she didn't hold on tightly to Dolly, she would run away to Cho Chang's side.

But she had no other choice but to hope for Dolly's return in this way.

As for the conflict between Hermione and Cho Chang, that's another matter.

Cho Chang also has a second pendant, which can also monitor Dolly's condition!

How is Hermione supposed to understand this?

We can't possibly assume that Qiu Zhang meant well, can we?

This morning, she arrived here early and saw Qiu Zhang playing with the pendant and even smiling at it.

This immediately infuriated Hermione, who felt that Cho Chang had ulterior motives.

Whether it's someone plotting against Dolly or something else, Hermione certainly wouldn't stand idly by if there were any dangerous factors that could harm Dolly.

After being discovered, Cho Chang initially tried to evade the truth, but after Hermione nearly attacked him, Cho Chang had no choice but to take out the pendant and explain the situation.

She really meant well, at least that's what she thought.

As for why she didn't tell Dolly that she had two pendants... wasn't it because she was worried that Dolly would refuse the gift?

After all, having your situation known to others at any time can give people a feeling of being monitored, which can make them uncomfortable.

Cho Chang thought his excuse was perfect, but Hermione refused to accept it.

She insisted on sending Cho Chang's pendant and Dolly's pendant to the Ministry of Magic for testing, in order to prevent any problems with the pendants or any spells Cho Chang might have cast on them.

Faced with this situation that was almost certainly doomed to failure, Akio naturally disagreed, and the two began to argue. By the time Dolly arrived, the matter was still unresolved.

Both girls initially felt they should continue their struggle, but Dolly disappeared first.

Both of them were worried about Dolly's safety, so they reached a temporary agreement.

Just as they decided to go out to find Dudley, the door was suddenly kicked open, and Quirrell stumbled in, shouting, "Troll!"

"There's a giant in the underground classroom!"

Quirrell looked in Dumbledore's direction and said, "I thought you knew..."

After saying that, Quirrell's eyes rolled back and he fainted.

The young wizards, who were enjoying their food and drinks, suddenly started screaming.

Fear is contagious. While a giant monster might cause casualties, it clearly has no chance against hundreds of junior wizards.

But the young wizards had already dropped what they were doing and were about to scatter and run away when Dumbledore raised his wand.

After a piercing spark erupted from the tip of his wand, drawing everyone's attention, he used a megaphone spell to say, "Prefect, take your students back to the common room."

"Professors, come with me to the underground classroom!"

As soon as the order was given, Robert and Percy sprang into action.

They gathered the Ravenclaw and Gryffindor students separately, especially the first-year students, and told them to keep up.

But at this moment, Hermione's face turned deathly pale. She had only one question in her mind: Where is Dolly?

Hermione, where's my sister?!

Harry had asked Hermione this question more than once, and before, Hermione would make excuses like she might need to use the restroom, but now she could no longer get away with it.

"I...I don't know, I haven't seen her since the afternoon!"

"It's okay, it'll be alright, she's fine..."

Qiu Zhang held the pendant in his hand, looking at the pale yellow gemstone and muttering to himself.

But at that moment, a line of blood shot out from the middle of the pale yellow gem. Although it was only a line of blood as thin as a hair, everyone who saw it was stunned.

Although Harry didn't know what this meant, he had a feeling that something might have happened to his sister.

In an instant, a sharp pain shot through his forehead, and Harry instinctively looked around.

This wasn't the first time he'd experienced this; he knew it was a scar left on him when he killed Voldemort, or rather, when his mother killed Voldemort.

Could the pain from this scar mean that his mother is warning him?

It's a pity Harry didn't look down, otherwise he would have seen Quirrell, who was clutching the back of his head, crawling in the shadows between the students' shoes and calves.

So all Harry saw was Snape sneaking out through a small door, not following Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall as they headed to the underground classroom.

Snape, what is he going to do!

Remembering Snape's strange attitude toward his sister, Harry immediately rushed over to try and catch up with Snape. Ron and Neville, seeing this, had no choice but to follow as well.

Ron shouted as he ran, "We'll go to the underground classroom with the teacher, you guys try looking somewhere else!"
