Chapter 245 Girls’ Bathroom

In March, several mandrakes held a lively and noisy dance party in the third greenhouse, and Professor Sprout happily announced the good news to the students. This means that the mandrake will soon mature, and Colin Creevey and Justin Finch-Fletchley, who are lying in the school doctor's office, will soon return to everyone.

The students were excited by the news, and everyone was spreading the news to others.

These days, everyone has become accustomed to seeing mirrors everywhere, and they no longer feel strange about the mirrors around the corner. But Harry didn't adapt. Not only did he not adapt, but the sudden appearance of the mirrors also aroused his alertness.

Harry thought that Hagrid's identity had been exposed and that the school knew about the monster in the Chamber of Secrets and had found a way to deal with it. Harry became a little impatient. He always believed that the kind-hearted Hagrid made an honest mistake and that Hagrid would not harm students. He was very worried that his big friend would be arrested.

Although Harry is a bit stubborn and acts a bit recklessly, he is actually very smart, otherwise he would not be able to memorize the disarming spell just by looking at it once. It's just that the opponent Harry encountered was too strong, and he himself was too young and inexperienced, so he was influenced by Tom Riddle's diary and easily believed the memories he saw.

A gang of three men, fortunately Harry, Ron and Hermione, the three of them repeatedly discussed the memories he saw that day. After several discussions, Harry also realized something was wrong. He realized that he had made the same mistake again.

Just like what Ada said to Hermione back then, what he saw must be true, and what he thought must be right.

Harry stopped being stubborn and began to think carefully. He recalled the information Ada and the twins had exchanged with him. He was convinced that he had been deceived by Tom Riddle and that Hagrid was not the murderer at all.

The three people restarted the discussion about the monster in the secret room and reorganized what happened. This time they found more doubts.

The future Minister Hermione Granger stood up. Her waist no longer hurt when she spoke, and her legs were no longer sore. Miss Beaver finally came out of the shadow of the cat girl.

The mirrors placed in the castle inspired Hermione a lot. She came to the library again and she finally solved the problem of what the monster in the secret room was.

While the three of them were busy searching for clues to the secret room, Ada was idle. She no longer has to attend Quidditch practice or visit the library, and she can even take some time to walk her dog every day.

These days, Ada does everything herself and takes good care of Garen, who seems to be sick. Previously, because she had been busy looking for clues, Ada neglected to take care of Garen and was completely free, so she never noticed anything strange about her pet.

Garen has lost weight visibly and has become very alert. The slightest disturbance will cause it to bark. This has never happened before.

In addition, Garen is no longer not close to Ginny, but is full of fear of her. Every time he saw Ginny, Garen would hide away with his tail between his legs.

Animals are often more sensitive than humans, and their perception of danger is always ahead of humans. Garen's alienation and fear of Ginny caught Ada's attention, and Ada began to wonder about the changes in Ginny again.

Ginny, who just entered school this year, feels a bit strange to Ada. The little girl is either in a trance or crying. She is very different from the Ginny she is familiar with, as if she has become a different person.

Ada began to secretly observe Ginny, hoping to find out the reason for the little girl's change. Unfortunately, Ada's attention to Ginny was too late. Apart from her poor mental state, she could not find anything suspicious about Ginny.

But the more this happened, the more Ada worried that something unusual must have happened to Ginny to cause this girl who had just entered school to undergo an earth-shaking change.

One night in the middle of the month, Ada planned to continue observing Ginny, but she unexpectedly received a message from Dumbledore. The first level of the official college was overwhelming, so Ada had to go to the appointment on time. This was the first time this school year that Ada was alone with Dumbledore.

At nine o'clock in the evening, curfew time had arrived, but Ada came to the girls' bathroom. The closed bathroom was constantly overflowing with water, and the ground at the door was filled with sewage, and Dumbledore was standing there waiting for her.

Ada walked over and stood beside Dumbledore, but instead of stepping in the water like Dumbledore, she used magic to prevent the sewage from approaching her.

The male principal and female students were seen at the door of the girls' bathroom. This scene was indescribably strange and inconsistent, and it reminded Ada of another movie that had a psychological shadow on her.

The bald middle-aged man in the movie left a very deep impression on Ada, which made Ada fully feel the malice of the world. Fortunately, although Dumbledore's hair was white, he was not bald like other British men, so this sense of déjà vu would not be so strong.

"I'm glad to see your growth this year." Dumbledore was the first to break the silence. Maybe he also felt a little awkward. The two of them could no longer continue to be in a stalemate at the door of the girls' bathroom.

Ada always accepted compliments in full. She said, "Thank you for the compliment, Professor. Professor McGonagall said the same."

After speaking, the two fell silent again. Love and hate were clearly Ada's strengths, but also her weaknesses.

Seeing that Ada had no intention of asking questions, the more than 100-year-old comrade had no choice but to start a conversation first. Dumbledore said: "Ada, do you know why I asked you to come here?"

"I'm not sure." Ada said honestly, "But it should be related to the Chamber of Secrets, but isn't there only Moaning Myrtle here?"

"Yes, Moaning Myrtle." Dumbledore said with a hint of sadness, "But I prefer to call her Myrtle Warren."

These words finally made Ada a little interested. She looked at Dumbledore and found that the principal's face was filled with memories. After all, the senior sister who turned into a ghost was once Dumbledore's student.

Waiting, Ada remembered something amazing. She actually ignored such a key person.

"It seems that you have realized it." Dumbledore said, "Fifty years ago, the Chamber of Secrets was opened. At that time, a female student passed away, and that female student was Myrtle."

When Ada was in first grade, she once invaded Myrtle's territory. At that time, in order to resist Ada's invasion, Myrtle often whispered her tragic experience in her ear, but Myrtle never mentioned the cause of her death.

Ada, who was so annoyed by this senior, finally left the bathroom and returned the sovereignty of the bathroom to Myrtle. Ada tapped her forehead. It turned out that she had been so close to the truth, almost within reach.

"Do you want to go in and take a look first?" Dumbledore asked. "There is only Myrtle herself in there. For some reason, she flooded the bathroom again."

Ada nodded, turned the door handle, and walked into the bathroom alone. Ada stopped in front of a cubicle and knocked gently on the door.

Immediately Myrtle's shrill scream rang out in the bathroom, and she shouted: "Get out! This is my place! Get out!"
