Chapter 40: The Girl Crying in the Toilet

This is not a whim of Link, but Link has indeed snubbed Arkham a little in the past few days.

Even though Arkham would hide in the pipe from time to time and remind Link that it was time to meet, Link still avoided it.

No way, it's too dangerous to accompany Arkham to drag racing.

This has also caused Arkham to be very angry with Link these days, and Link estimates that if he doesn't think about a way, he will turn around and take the initiative to show up to find him.

Presumably, it will be a disaster when the time comes.

Thinking like this, Link no longer hesitated, and directly picked up half of the roasted pumpkin in front of him and ran out of the auditorium.

His destination was still the girls' bathroom on the second floor, which was the old place that Link and Arkham had agreed upon.

As soon as Link said the serpent language to the faucet, Arkham hidden under Hogwarts could hear it and quickly arrive.

This is convenient, but the only thing that bothers Link is that the bathroom is the lair of a ghost, the 'Crying Myrtle', who often hides in the toilet cubicle and cries, causing Link to chase away the ghost every time in order not to reveal the basilisk's secrets.

However, Link doesn't need to do this today, because it's Christmas, and at this time of year the ghosts report a big ghost dinner, and the 'weeping myrtle' is bound to be there.

"Open!"

Link, holding half a roasted pumpkin, slowly uttered the command, and then the pool quickly disappeared, but strangely, the basilisk Arkham did not appear this time.

This made Link a little anxious.

He'd been roasting pumpkins for a long time, and he was thinking that he would go back to enjoy the dinner after delivering them to Arkham!

"Arkham, Arkham, are you there, don't be angry, I know it's wrong!"

Link whispered to the mouth of the pipe, and although his voice was very low by him, it still reverberated down the pipe.

And just as he finished speaking, a huge black shadow burst out along the pipe, directly causing Link to fall backwards to the ground in fright.

"Hahahaha! Link! scared you!"

Seeing this, the basilisk Arkham laughed, and the corners of his mouth also pulled out a seemingly hideous arc.

"Arkham!"

Link screamed angrily, but the basilisk turned his head and said:

"Hmph! Who told you to ignore me these days! You deserve it!"

Now Link is out of line, this matter is indeed his own fault.

"Alright, Arkham, I'm sorry!" Link said as he handed the roasted pumpkin he had been guarding to Arkham, "and I brought you a little dessert as an apology." ”

"Little dessert?" Arkham's eyes lit up as soon as he heard that there was a small dessert, but he shook his head in disgust when he saw that Link was holding only a roasted pumpkin in his hand, "What is this? I'm not a vegetarian!"

"You try it first!

Link handed the roasted pumpkin to the basilisk again, and the basilisk hesitated for a moment, but finally stuck out his forked tongue and licked it under Link's expectant gaze.

This lick is incredible.

The vertical pupils in the basilisk's eyes quickly spread, and a trance-like expression appeared on the snake's face.

"It's ...... What does it taste like?"

The basilisk muttered to himself, swallowing the whole pumpkin with a roll of his tongue.

"Mmmmmmmmmm

"Of course!" Link said with a smile on his hands, "I'll get it for you in the auditorium later." ”

"Really, Link, I'll forgive you for this little snack!"

The basilisk flicked its happy little tail and gently rubbed its head against Link's face.

To be honest, this scene was quite scary, but Link was very happy, and kept touching the scales on Arkham's face with his hand.

He had had a pet python in his previous life, so he didn't have much fear of this reptilian creature.

However, the friendly interaction between them did not last long before the basilisk suddenly stood up, and at the same time, the pupils that had spread out in its eyes instantly condensed into a slit!

"There are other creatures out there, dare to disturb my date with Link, I'm going to kill her!"

Link was keenly aware that Arkham was talking about her, and the first thing that came to his mind was 'Crying Myrtle'.

And he knew very well that Arkham wasn't talking big words.

Even though the other party is already a ghost, the basilisk's instant stare is also effective against them.

But if Arkham really was allowed to kill the 'Weeping Myrtle', wouldn't it really alarm Dumbledore?

Link hesitated, but by this time the basilisk had already bowed and made an attacking stance.

"Slow Arkham!" Link said hurriedly, "Leave it to me, you can go back first." ”

Arkham froze when he heard this, and the snake pupil on one side turned to stare at Link for a long time, then nodded and said:

"Alright then, Link, I'll go back first, we'll see you next time. But remember, you still owe me 3 full-track 'rides'!"

"Didn't it happen twice? Why did it change three times?"

"Hah!~ Who told you to release my pigeon last time?

With that, Arkham quickly disappeared into the passage, which made Link have a bitter look on his face.

The last time I ran half a marathon, I almost took half my life, and wouldn't I be dead for three full runs?

Thinking like this, Link still restrained the expression on his face, and slowly walked towards the lavatory with his wand in his hand.

He hasn't forgotten about the serious business, and there's a ghost in the toilet waiting for him to take care of it!

As he slowly approached the inner room, a faint faint girl's cry gradually reached Link's ears, which made him more sure of the identity of the person in the toilet.

I saw him move his steps cautiously, and only after confirming the location of the female voice did he put a 'Alaho Hole' on the doorknob, and finally slammed the door open!

"Squeak!~"

The old wooden door panel was overwhelmed by Link's vigorous 'Shen Win'.

Link was stunned when he pushed the door open.

Because what is staying inside is not a 'crying myrtle' at all, but a teary-eyed Hermione!

Maybe it was also a startled relationship, Hermione was also stunned at this moment, and even forgot to cry.

For a moment, Hermione and Link looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the air became a little awkward and anxious.

It was a long time before Hermione finally reacted.

She blushed, wiped the unstoppable tears with her hands over and over again, and said in a choked voice:

Lin ...... Link, why are you here?"

She turned her head a little embarrassed, and only looked at Link with her peripheral vision.

However, when she looked at it, she found that Link's face suddenly became ugly.

Then, before Hermione could react, Link grabbed her hand and pulled it outward.

"Quick, follow me! It's dangerous here!"
