Chapter 8 Panic Spreads (3)

Obviously, Ron was a little funny about the spider's appearance. Hermione and Pettier both laughed.

"It's not funny," Ron said angrily, "if you know, when I was three, Fred turned my - my toy into - dirty spiders because I broke his toy stick. You don't like theirs either, if the bear you've ever held suddenly grows many feet..."

Ron trembled all over and didn't continue talking. Hermione and Pettier were still trying their best to hold back and not laugh.

Harry thought they had better change the topic, so he said, "Remember the water on the floor? Where did that come from? Someone has already dragged him clean."

"Of course I have to do it. Even if no one drags it, I will do it!" Yaxi said, thinking that Harry's problem is really stupid. "The women's toilet is in front, and the water should have flowed out from there at the beginning!"

"That's the place for the crying Myrtle. Come and see." Hermione ignored the sign of "Idle people are not allowed to enter" and opened the door.

This is the darkest and most depressing bathroom. A row of tattered stone sinks lie under a large broken and dirty mirror. The damp floor reflects a faint candlelight; the wooden doors of the small bathroom have been scratched.

Hermione put her fingers on her lips to show silence, and then she walked towards the bathroom. When she walked there, she said, "Hi, Myrtle, how are you?"

Yaxi and others also walked over, and saw the crying Myrtle floating on the sink in the toilet and touching her face with her hands.

"This is a female bathroom," she looked at Ahish, Harry and Ron suspected. "They are not female."

"Yes," Hermione agreed. "I just wanted them to see how good it is here—well—is."

"We just want to ask if you've seen anything interesting lately," Hermione said quickly, "because on Halloween night, a cat was attacked in front of your door."

"Did you see anything nearby that night?" Harry asked.

"I didn't notice," said Myrtle dramatically. "The nobles were so sad that I ran in and wanted to commit suicide. Then, of course, I remember that I was-I am-"

"It's dead." Ron finished for her.

Myrtle sobbed, stood up and turned over, first put her head into the toilet, splashed water all over them, and finally disappeared from her sight. From the direction of her crying, she could tell that she was on a shelf.

Hermione shrugged and said, "Frankly, that's the best for Myrtle... Come on, let's go."

Harry just closed the door and kept the sob of Myrtle behind him, and a loud bang shocked them.

"Ron!" Percy Weasley was full of surprise. "That's the female bathroom!" he screamed. "You are-"

"Just take a look," Ron shrugged. "Clues, you know..."

"From here-leave-" Percy said word by word, then took big steps, waved his hands and began to drive them away. "Don't you care? Come again when others eat."

"Why can't we be here?" Ron said sharply, while turning his eyes away from Percy.

"Listen, we didn't move the cat's finger!"

"That's exactly what I told Ginny," Percy said, "but she still thinks you'll be expelled from school. I've never seen her so sad, and almost burst into tears. You should think about her, all the first-year students are too excited about this-"

"You don't care about Ginny at all," Ron said with red eyes. "You're just worried that we're destroying your chances of becoming chief."

"Gryffindon 5 points off!" Percy said concisely and clearly as he stroked his bandage. "I hope you can learn this lesson! Don't investigate again, otherwise I will write to your mom!"

After saying that, Percy left, his neck was as red as Ron's ears. It seemed that Ron was right.

Harry and others did not hesitate to look for clues, let alone others. Yaxi was very troubled by this! He needed to work a lot to control the development of things. Or he accidentally died, which was not what Yaxi was willing to see.

"Maybe I should ask Dumbledore for some compensation!" Yaxi thought.

Harry, Ron and Hermione both chose a seat far away from Percy. Ron had a bad temper and kept smearing his homework. To Harry's surprise, Hermione was doing the same thing.

During dinner in the evening, Harry and the others began to speculate on the successor of Slytherin. They insisted that it was Draco! They even started to plan how to determine this matter happily.

The final result was that because of Hermione's persuasion, Yaxi agreed to make a compound decoction for them.

Of course, Yaxi was not very happy to refine compound decoctions. Although his storage ring originally contained the refined compound decoctions for immediate needs, he did not have the idea to come up with it. And Yaxi said perfunctorily that it would take a month to complete it.

Time passed by Yaxi's trembling battle, and a few days later, something big happened!

The George Fred brothers were petrified!

Yaxi expressed great anger at this. If he hadn't taken out the prepared mirror at the critical moment, the George Fred brothers would have become two corpses!

Such a thing was not available in the original story! Ahi made a big fuss with Dumbledore, but Dumbledore seemed to trust Ahi very much and insisted on completing the initial plan.

So, Ahi had to hope that Harry could discover all the clues early.

Although the entire Hogwarts students were a little panicked, the upcoming Quidditch still attracted everyone's attention.

But for Gryffindor, this was not too exciting. Because the team was missing two main players, George and Fred. Harry, who filled the gap, and another substitute.

Before the game, Wood made a good mobilization, "We can't disappoint George Fred! We can't disappoint Gryffindor!"

Gryffindor's opponent is Slytherin! In this way, the game is of course quite intense, without George Fred, everyone is struggling to play. And Yaxi is also hurriedly looking for the Golden Snitch.
