Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 688: Myrtle also has spring
"His"
After unscrewing the lock tongue of the bathroom door, Ensi gasped cold and quickly loosened the brass door handle.
"How long has this bathroom been unused? What is the meaning of the curse on it?"
The doors to the girls’ bathroom at Hogwarts Castle are all cursed, and only women can safely touch the doorknobs. If the boys want to open the door... it's not absolutely impossible, but it will be a bit harder.
Ensi shook his right hand lightly, feeling the numbness still remaining on his fingertips. When the door was opened just now, the pain like being burned by red charcoal was really unforgettable, even if he was mentally prepared. I almost couldn't help but let go.
"Squeaky"
The door leaf is actually relatively new, and it seems that it has only been replaced for a long time. But because of the accumulation of humidity all year round, the hinges of the fixed door will soon become stagnant, and the sound of opening and closing the door is not small.
Of course, today is different. After all, there is a lot of noise outside, isn't it?
As soon as he opened Mennes, the girls' bathroom was as dull and cold as he expected. There were large swaths of water stains everywhere on the wall, and little drops of water gathered along several cracks on the wall, leaving several straight dark marks at the root of the wall.
On the opposite side, a row of dirty and cracked sinks looks a bit crooked, and on the wall above the sink is a large mirror with the same stains, and the right half of the mirror is also cracked. A tortuous gap.
Ensi walked a few steps further, and there was standing water everywhere under her feet. Even the places where there was no obvious water stains were still a bit greasy, and a rather disgusting touch came from the soles of her feet.
Speaking of which, there are a few candle holders on the wall on the left, with a few candles burning on them. But the flames on the heads of those candles were too weak, and the light they released could only barely allow Ensi to see the outlines of the compartments on the right.
You can see that the door of the innermost single room has completely fallen off. At this moment, it was lying quietly on the ground, accompanied by the unreal dirty water.
By the way, the smell of this broken place is really hard to let go.
At this moment, Ensi, who was walking inward, suddenly stopped because he seemed to hear a suspicious voice.
He thought it was a very slight sob, because he knew that the ghost who had been hiding here always cried alone, so other people called it the "Crying Myrtle".
But when he stopped and listened for a while, he didn't think it was like a girl sobbing. Because the voice still had some tone, not so much sobbing, it was more of an off-tune humming.
"Myrtle?"
Ens yelled tentatively, and his voice echoed in the bathroom, as if it had been amplified a lot, and the hum was suddenly covered.
At the same time, he changed the wand in his left hand back to his right hand, even though his fingertips were still a little numb, but he couldn't take care of these little ailments anymore.
Soon, the echo of his words settled down, but the previous out-of-tune humming also disappeared.
The original quietness was restored in the bathroom, and only the inaudible breathing of Ens and the ticking of water droplets falling from the cracks in the pool into the stagnant water.
Just when Ensi couldn't help but want to check the compartment directly, a delicate voice broke the slightly cold silence.
"Hmph", the voice groaned slightly, "Little handsome guy, good evening...Are you looking for someone?"
While the other person was talking, Ensi saw a white figure floating out of the innermost compartment. Although the single room didn't even have the door, the other party still didn't have the intention to walk properly, and the corner of the single room's partition directly passed through the hazy body.
"Are you Myrtle?"
Although none of the seniors had mentioned any danger to this ghost with Ens, he still clenched his wand tightly.
"Oh that's right!" Myrtle pushed the round-frame glasses on the bridge of her nose, and swayed in front of Ensi, "What's the matter, little handsome guy? I don't seem to have seen you...well, these few Why has the number of people here suddenly increased in recent years..."
She asked first, and then she whispered naturally.
For so many years, she has been shrinking here by herself. Apart from weeping for her sad life, she is only talking to herself. This kind of whispering behavior has long become a habit of her.
"Um...I am..." Ensi pursed his lips, "I just look at it casually."
"Oh? Hey..." Myrtle smiled ambiguously when she heard the words, "Little brother, why don't you go to the girls' bathroom to see if it's okay? Ah, you don't need to say any more, people understand... but here they are. There is nothing to show you!"
Even though she knows exactly how old she is with Ensi, she still calls Ensi "little brother" for granted, as if she feels that this is not a violation.
But Ens only frowned at Myrtle's teasing.
He thinks that this "Crying Myrtle" seems to be inconsistent with the image described in the rumors. How about "Crying"? She seems to have been molested by her with a smile!
But how did he know that the ghosts are different from some wandering spirits wandering in the dead. Like people, they have independent thinking abilities, and their personalities will gradually change with time and environment.
"...Why didn't you speak?" Myrtle seemed to find the silent Ens very boring, and she called out a few more times, and soon her face became a little darker, "It's really annoying, it's annoying ...People know that you must have come to drill the pipe too...I really don't understand you little guys, it's dark and scary there, what can I do?"
However, Ensi suddenly raised her attention when she heard what she said, and her eyes widened a little.
"The pipe? What pipe?"
"Huh? Didn't you come to drill the pipe?" Seeing that he didn't seem to know, Myrtle immediately became interested again, "In other words, are you really here to find someone? Well, if you are It’s better to be older, people like the more mature type"
"You"
Ensi was trying to tell her to stop talking nonsense, but then he thought about it, maybe she shouldn't have any conflict with this ghost. Because he may not come here only once, and...afterwards, he has to keep this ghost secret!
"Um...that..." He thought about it, and he felt that it was such a rationale, his face couldn't help but twisted a little, "I'm here to find you, Myrtle... if you Yes, I will come again in the future..."
"Ah, really?" Myrtle clasped her hands on her chest in surprise, but soon, she was lost again, "Oh...this is so happy and sad... This is the first time I hope I haven’t died...No, no, no, if I didn’t die back then, people would definitely not meet you again..."
She started talking to herself for a while, and Ens couldn't help rolling his eyes.
"Uh...Myrtle, this...it's okay, is it good to be able to meet?" Ensi felt like he was taking a breath, and his heart was full of depression. "But you can't talk about me in the future. I’ve been here, or else...or else..."
Sometimes, it’s not such a light thing to find a reason at will. If your mind is so congested by the entanglement in front of you, it is easy to get stuck.
"Otherwise..." After tumbling several times, he subconsciously said, "If someone else hears it, he will definitely laugh at me."
To be honest, generally speaking, this is by no means a good reason. How can a girl feel happy when she hears this kind of worry?
But if this reason is placed here with Myrtle, it seems quite empathetic.
I think the main reason why she died in this bathroom, besides Voldemort and the basilisk, was because she was laughed at by a classmate. If it weren't for that guy, she wouldn't hide here to cry alone, nor would she be killed by Tom Riddle for it.
"Oh! I understand the feeling... It's uncomfortable to be laughed at, it's really uncomfortable..." She agreed without saying a word, "I will keep the secret, this will only be the two of us. I know!"
"Well, that's...it's great," Ensi was taken aback, and then quickly nodded, "Oh, by the way, what did you just say'drill the pipe'? Will anyone else come here?"
"Don't worry, my dear! Don't worry" Myrtle's pale face was full of smiles at this time, "Those little guys don't want to care about me, and I will only like you. That...well, as for that pipe...I heard that it was the entrance to the Slytherin Chamber...Look! It's the faucet, it never comes out."
Ensi hurriedly walked in the direction Myrtle was pointing when he heard the words, and looked down.
This copper faucet is very ordinary and looks similar to the others. Ens observed carefully for a moment, and then tilted his head when Myrtle reminded him of her words, only then did he see the snake pattern on the side.
"There is magic on it?"
For Ens's guess~IndoMTL.com~Myrtle gave affirmation, and by the way she also praised him softly.
"My dear, you are so smart!" she said, "I have seen two people show it through the tube. One is Mr. McLean, who can do it with a wave of his hand, I have never figured it out. How did he do it...the other one is Mr. Porter, he just came here some time ago with his friends..."
"How did he do it?" Enns asked immediately.
"In fact, I didn't quite understand his method," Myrtle said with an innocent face, "He just screamed at this tap..."
After hearing this, Ensi was startled immediately.
