Chapter 688 Myrtle also has spring

hiss

After unscrewing the deadbolt of the bathroom door, Ens gasped for air, and quickly let go of the brass doorknob.

This bathroom hasn't been used for a long time. What's the point of keeping the spell on it?

The doors to the girls' bathrooms at Hogwarts Castle are enchanted, and only women can safely touch the doorknobs. If a boy wants to open the door...it's not absolutely impossible, but it will be a bit of a pain.

Ens flicked his right hand lightly, feeling the numbness that still remained on his fingertips. When he opened the door just now, the pain like being scalded by a red-hot charcoal was really unforgettable. Even if he had been mentally prepared, he almost I couldn't help but let go.

Squeak

The door leaf is actually relatively new, it seems that it has not been long since it was replaced. However, due to the long-term accumulation of moisture here, the hinges that fix the 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 Doorns pushed it away, he found that the girls' bathroom was as dreary and cold as he had expected. There were large water stains everywhere on the wall, and water droplets gathered along several cracks on the wall, leaving several straight dark marks at the base of the wall.

On the opposite side, a row of dirty and cracked sinks looks a little crooked, and on the wall above the sink is a large mirror with the same stains, and a zigzagging line is cracked on the right half of the mirror. crease gap.

Erns took a few more steps forward, not to mention the waterlogging everywhere under his feet, even the places without obvious water stains were still a little greasy, and there was a rather disgusting feeling from the soles of his feet.

Speaking of which, there are a few candle holders on the left wall, and a few candles are still burning on them. But the flames on the ends of those candles were too weak, and the light they released was

He could barely let Erns see the outlines of the compartments on the right.

It can be seen 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 in step by step, suddenly stopped because he seemed to hear some suspicious voice.

He thought it was a slight sobbing sound, because he knew that the ghost who hid here all the year round was always crying alone, so others called it Weeping Myrtle.

But when he stopped and listened for a while, he felt that it didn't look like a girl sobbing. Because the voice was vaguely out of tune, it was more like humming out of tune than sobbing.

Myrtle?

Ensi tentatively yelled softly, and his voice echoed in the bathroom, as if it had been amplified a lot, covering up the humming sound all at once.

At the same time, he switched the wand in his left hand back to his right hand, even though the fingertips were still slightly numb, but he couldn't care less about these minor ailments.

Soon, the echo of his speech stabilized, but the humming that was out of tune before also disappeared.

The restroom returned to its original silence, only the sound of Enns's inaudible breathing, and the ticking sound of water drops falling from the cracks of the sink 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.

Humph, the voice hummed slightly vaguely, Little handsome guy, good evening... Are you looking for someone?

While the other party was talking, Ensi saw a white figure floating out from the innermost compartment. Although the private room didn't even have a door, the other party still didn't intend to walk properly, and a corner of the partition of the private room directly passed through the hazy body.

Are you Myrtle?

Although none of the seniors mentioned to Ernes that the ghost would be dangerous, he still held his wand tightly.

Oh, that's right! Myrtle pushed the round-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, and swayed around in front of Ens, What's the matter, handsome guy? I don't think I've seen you before... Well, I've been here for the past few years Why did the number of people suddenly increase...

She asked first, and then whispered naturally.

For so many years, she has been huddled here alone, and besides weeping for her sad life, she can only talk to herself. This kind of whispering behavior has long been a habit of hers.

Well... I'm just... Ensi pursed his lips, I just took a look.

Oh? Hehe... Myrtle smiled ambiguously when she heard the words, Little brother, why did you go to the girls' bathroom to see if you have nothing to do? Ah, you don't need to say more, I understand... But there is nothing good here I showed you!

Even though she was aware of the age difference between herself and Ensi, she still called Ensi little brother as a matter of course, as if she didn't think it violated harmony at all.

But Ensi just frowned at Myrtle's teasing.

In his opinion, this weeping myrtle seems to be quite different from the image described in the rumors. What about crying? It seems that I have been teased by her smilingly!

But how did he know that ghosts are different from some wandering spirits that wander in the dead. Like people, they have independent thinking ability, and their personalities will gradually change with time and environment.

...why don't you talk? Myrtle seemed to find the silent Ensi very boring, she called out a few more times, and soon her face became a little darker, I hate it, I hate it... I know, you must also come to drill the pipe... I really don’t understand you little guys, it’s dark and scary in there, what’s there to do?”

However, upon hearing her words, Ensi suddenly raised his attention, and even his eyes widened a little.

Pipe? What pipe?

Huh? Didn't you come to drill pipes? Seeing that he didn't seem to know anything, Myrtle immediately became interested again, That is to say, are you really here to find someone? Well, if you are older It’s fine, people like the more mature type.”

you

Ernes was trying to get her to stop talking nonsense, but then he thought that maybe he shouldn't have any conflicts with this ghost. Because he might not only come here once, and... he had to keep this ghost a secret afterwards!

Hmm... that... After thinking about it, he felt that this was the reason, and he couldn't help but feel a little twisted on his face, I'm here to look for you, Myrtle... If you want, I will I will come again...

Ah, really? Myrtle clasped her hands tightly in front of her chest in surprise, but she soon lost her mind again, Oh...this is really both joyful and sad...this is the first time For once, I wish I hadn't died... No, no, no, if I hadn't died back then, people would never have met you again...

She started talking to herself for a while again, causing Ernes to roll his eyes.

Uh...Myrtle, this...it's okay, it's good to see you again? Ensi felt that he was holding his breath, and his heart was full of depression, But you can't tell anyone about my visit in the future, Or else...or else...

Sometimes, it is not so easy to just find a reason. When your thoughts are so blocked by the entanglement in front of you, it is easy to cause jams.

Otherwise... After tossing and turning several times in a row, he subconsciously said, If others hear it, they will definitely laugh at me.

To be honest, generally speaking, this is definitely not a good reason. How can a girl be happy when she hears such worries?

But if this reason is placed on Myrtle, it seems quite empathetic.

I think the reason why she died in this bathroom at the beginning was that besides Voldemort and the Basilisk, the main reason was because she was laughed at by a classmate. If it weren't for that guy, she wouldn't have hid here and wept alone, and she wouldn't have been murdered by Tom Riddle because of it.

Oh! I understand that feeling... being laughed at doesn't feel good, it's really not good... She agreed without saying a word, I'll keep it a secret, only the two of us will know about it!

Well, that's really... really good, Ensi was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly, Oh, by the way, what did you just say 'drilling the pipe'? Will anyone else come here?

Don't worry, dear! Don't worry. Myrtle's pale face was already full of smiles, Those little guys don't want to pay attention to me, and I will only like you... Well, as for the pipe... I'm told that's the entrance to the Slytherin chamber... Look! That's the tap, it never comes out.

Hearing this, Ensi hurriedly walked in the direction Myrtle pointed, and looked down.

This copper faucet is plain and looks like any other. Ens observed carefully for a moment, then tilted his head when Myrtle reminded him, and then he saw the snake pattern on the side.

Is there magic on it?

For Erns' guess, Myrtle affirmed, and by the way, she praised him coquettishly.

Honey, you're so clever! she said. I've seen two people make it stick out the tube. One was Mr. McLean, and he could do it with just a wave of his hand. I never understood how he What happened... Another one is Mr. Potter, he just came here some time ago with those few friends of his...

How did he do it? Ernes asked immediately.

Actually, I didn't quite understand what he did, Myrtle said innocently, He just yelled 'hiss' at this faucet a few times...

When Ensi heard this, he was taken aback immediately.
