The sickly iron fist beauty in Harry Potter

These words did not scare Myrtle, but instead made her eyes light up.

What's the scariest thing about being a ghost?

It's not about looking back at the death in the past, nor about being mocked and ridiculed by the enemies in the past, but about hiding in the toilet alone with no one paying attention to him.

Loneliness is the ghost's greatest enemy.

This is also the inevitable punishment for ghosts who are unwilling to rest in peace and want to stay in the human world.

So when Dolly told me she knew the cause of her death, Myrtle was even a little happy, feeling that she could still be remembered by others.

"You don't believe it? How about I tell you?"

Myrtle quickly waved her hands and said, "No, just remember it yourself and don't tell me anymore."

"It wasn't a glorious experience. It made me afraid to get along with other ghosts."

Myrtle was the unlucky one who died at the sight of the basilisk, but if that were all, it wouldn't be so shameful.

The main thing is that she turned into a ghost after her death, just to take revenge on the classmates who bullied her. It was someone from the Ministry of Magic who mediated the matter.

Myrtle gave up revenge and was qualified to stay in Hogwarts.

As a ghost who is only a few decades old, Myrtle is like a baby in the eyes of other ghosts, so naturally the two cannot get along.

"Okay, then don't tell me. I'm not here to bully you. I'm just here to find someone."

"Looking for someone, who, the black-haired Asian girl from last time?"

When Myrtle is happy, she can communicate normally with others.

Dolly shook her head and said, "No, I'm looking for Hermione, a cute girl with brown hair and brown eyes. We should come here together."

"Her, I have an impression of her."

Myrtle simply sat down on the shower head and said, "But she's not here. You must be looking in the wrong place."

"Really? But I thought Hermione was right here. Are you mistaken?"

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.

Then Myrtle said seriously, "She's not here. Don't you believe me?"

"No, I believe you."

"Then why don't you leave?"

"But I want to find Hermione!"

Myrtle frowned and looked Dolly up and down.

Finally, he came to Dolly's eyes, studied them closely, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

"The Imperius Curse?"

She was so scared that she went straight into the small room next door and hid in the toilet.

At this time, 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, she found that Dolly was still singing and no one rushed out to hurt Dolly. Myrtle became bolder and started chatting with Dolly again.

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

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

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

After all, it's just a date, not a real thing. It's like playing a game, so what's wrong with that?

"What's with that brown-haired Hermione?"

"She's also my good friend."

"A good friend like that Qiu Zhang?"

"Uh-huh."

Myrtle laughed as if she had seen through everything.

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

And now facing Dolly... well, no matter how you look at it, Dolly doesn't seem like her friend, but rather an unlucky person who has been hit by the Imperius Curse.

Is Hogwarts so dangerous now that all first-year students are under the Imperius Curse?

Oh no, it seems that Hogwarts was not very safe in the past, otherwise how did she die?

The two continued chatting until they heard heavy footsteps.

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

The troll scratched his head, looking at the forked roads, seemingly confused about which way to go.

But after a beam of light hit it, the troll seemed to understand and turned towards Dolly.

Myrtle realizes something is wrong and rushes in to stop Dolly from singing.

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

In desperation, Myrtle dived directly into the shower head, using her only strength to direct the water flow to turn on the switch, allowing the cold water to pour down on Dolly.

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

Now Myrtle was at her wit's end.

She felt that Dolly was doomed to die, but she didn't know whether Dolly would feel wronged after her death. If she became a ghost, she wouldn't mind being Dolly's neighbor.

Maybe Dolly could live in the showerhead, one of them on top and the other on the bottom.

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

But then she thought about her own death, and that feeling really wasn't fun at all.

It's not without reason that she's treated as a baby among ghosts.

The biggest difference between her and other ghosts is that because she died so recently, she still retains too many emotions and compassion from her lifetime.

So looking at the approaching troll, Myrtle knew she couldn't wait any longer.

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

In the past, Myrtle would never have come no matter what - although she didn't usually come out.

At the banquet, Hermione was fidgeting.

Where's Dolly?

She had asked herself this question countless times, but she could never get an answer.

She was so anxious that she even had to turn her head to look at Qiu Zhang across from her and mouthed, "Do you know where Dolly went?"

Qiu Zhang shook his head, also very anxious.

But she could take out her pendant and check on Dolly's condition.

The small piece of jade symbolizes Dolly's health, and it is still that light yellow color, which proves that Dolly is fine. Maybe she is hiding somewhere and doesn't want to come out?

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

Qiu Zhang mouthed the words, and Hermione covered her face in frustration before finally nodding.

She shouldn't have had a problem with Dolly.

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

Because of Dolly's pendant, she felt that Dolly had completely gone beyond her daily life, and if she didn't hold on to Dolly tightly, she would escape to Qiu Zhang.

But she had no choice but to hope that Dolly would come back in this way.

As for the conflict between Hermione and Qiu Zhang, that is another matter.

Qiu Zhang also has a second pendant, which can also monitor Dolly's condition!

How did Hermione understand this?

You can't just assume that Qiu Zhang has good intentions, right?

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

This immediately made Hermione furious, and she felt that Qiu Zhang had other intentions.

No matter if it was someone plotting against Dolly or something else, Hermione would not sit idly by if there was any danger that could harm Dolly.

After being discovered, Qiu Zhang was evasive at first and didn't want to admit it. Finally, after Hermione almost attacked him, Qiu Zhang had to take out the pendant and explain the whole story.

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

As for why she didn't tell Dolly about the two pendants...wasn't she worried that Dolly would refuse to accept the gift?

After all, if your situation is known to others at any time, you will always feel like you are being monitored, which may make you feel uncomfortable.

Qiu Zhang thought his excuse was perfect, but Hermione refused to accept it.

She insisted on sending Qiu Zhang's pendant and Dolly's pendant to the Ministry of Magic for testing to prevent any problems with the two pendants or Qiu Zhang from casting any spell on them.

Faced with this kind of thing that was almost doomed to social failure, Qiu Zhang naturally disagreed, and the two began to argue. Until Dolly arrived, the matter had no result.

Both girls felt that they would continue to fight, but Dolly disappeared first.

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

But just when they decided to go out to look for Dolly, the door was suddenly kicked open, and Quirrell stumbled in, shouting: "Troll!"

"There's a giant monster in the basement 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 little wizards who were eating and drinking with great interest started screaming one after another.

The emotion of fear is contagious. Although a giant monster can cause some casualties, it obviously has no chance of winning against hundreds of little wizards.

But the little wizards had already dropped what they were holding and were ready to flee when Dumbledore raised his wand.

Sharp sparks exploded from the tip of his wand. After everyone's attention was drawn to him, he used a loudspeaker spell and said, "Prefect, take the students from your house back to the common room."

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

As soon as the order was given, Robert and Percy set into motion.

They called on the Ravenclaw and Gryffindor students, especially the first years, to follow closely.

But at this time Hermione's face turned pale. There was only one question in her mind, where is Dolly?

"Hermione, where's my sister!"

Harry had asked Hermione this question more than once. Hermione had previously made excuses such as maybe going to the bathroom, but now she couldn't make excuses anymore.

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

"It's okay, it must be okay, she's fine..."

Qiu Zhang took the pendant in his hand, muttering to himself as he looked at the pale yellow gem.

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

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

Suddenly, a sharp pain came from his forehead, and Harry looked around subconsciously.

This was not the first time this had happened to him. He knew that this was the scar left on him when he, or rather his mother, killed Voldemort.

The scar hurts now, could it mean his mother is warning him?

It was a pity that Harry didn't lower his head, otherwise he would have seen Quirrell holding the back of his head not far away, crawling darkly between the students' shoes and calves.

So all Harry saw was Snape sneaking out of a small door and not following Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall as they headed to the dungeon.

Snape, what is he going to do!

Thinking of Snape's strange attitude towards his sister, Harry immediately rushed over and tried to catch up with Snape. Seeing this, Ron and Neville on the side had no choice but to rush forward as well.

Ron ran and shouted, "We're going to the dungeon with the teacher. You try to look somewhere else!"
