Chapter XXVIII

Aven, Harry, and Hermione became the most popular people at the death party, and the ghosts surrounded them, which took a lot of time. By the time they finally got rid of all the ghosts, everyone's stomachs were rumbling with hunger.

"Incredible, I've never seen such a passionate ghost before!" Hermione said.

"yes, they're a nuisance. Evan led the way to the foyer, "I'm hungry and wish the pudding hadn't been eaten yet." ”

"Wait, we should go to Ron first. Harry said, "I don't know if he's ever succeeded in apologizing to Myrtle, but hopefully it won't be too difficult." ”

"It's not an easy task, let's go, he should be in the girls' bathroom at the end of the third floor, I still have something to ask Myrtle." Evan rubbed his stomach, "The feast is coming to an end, maybe Colin and Ginny can remember to help us bring some food back." ”

The three of them walked up the steps, but Harry staggered to a halt.

"What's wrong, Harry?"

"That voice came again, did you hear it?" his face was unnatural.

"What's the sound?" Hermione froze, staring at him.

"It's the cold, murderous voice I told you the other day that I heard in Lockhart's office. Harry squinted his eyes up and down the dimly lit aisle, "It's hungry, it's been a long, long time"

"Damn, it's a basilisk!" Aven's heart sank suddenly, "The secret room has been opened, it can't be Ginny's doing, right?!"

"I smell blood, it's going to kill. Harry stared at the pitch-black ceiling, "It's moving upwards, come with me, this way." ”

With that, Harissa ran up the stairs and into the foyer, where the laughter of Halloween feasts echoed in the Great Hall. Harry ran up the marble staircase at full speed to the second floor, where Aven and Hermione stumbled after him.

"Harry, what are we doing?" asked Hermione, gasping for air.

"Shhhhh

Far away, one floor above, the voice came again, and he climbed the stairs in two steps, listening to the sound of his heavy footsteps.

"Harry, we're going to hurry, where the hell is it?" said Aven eagerly, wiping the sweat from his face.

"Huh, huh, what the hell are you two looking for, I haven't heard anything. ”

Before Hermione could finish her sentence, she suddenly gasped and pointed to the bottom of the hallway.

"Look!"

On the wall in front of them, something was shining. They slowly approached, squinting to make out in the darkness. Between the two windows, on the wall, a foot above the ground, was smeared with handwriting, shining in the light of burning torches.

"The secret room has been opened, and those who are enemies with the heir are wary. Evan whispered, his stomach twitching.

"What's that, hanging underneath the words?" Hermione grabbed Evan's shoulder.

"I don't know, let's take a closer look. ”

They cautiously approached, and there was a large pool of water on the ground, and Harry almost slipped.

Little by little, the three of them approached the slogan, their eyes fixed on a black shadow below, and their breath was very depressed.

In the next second, they saw what it was at the same time, and jumped backwards in fright, making a splash.

Even though Evan knew the plot in advance, he was still shocked to see Lady Loris hanging on the wall. Like a mummy, its tail hung from the stand of a torch, its body stiffened like a plank, its eyes wide open, staring straight at it, and it looked terrifying.

There was a sudden click at the end of the corridor, and the three of them hurriedly turned around, their hearts jumping.

It was Ron, who walked out of the room at the end, staring at the three of them with wide eyes and a pale face.

"Harry, what's going on?" Ron visibly trilled, "what did you do to Filch's cat?"

"Not us, we've just arrived. Harry explained.

"What are you doing here?" said Aven, looking at the other person quizzically.

"What else can I do, of course, to hear your words and apologize to Myrtle. Ron raised his voice, "And then I saw you and the cat!"

"Apologize?!" Evan noticed that Ron was behind Myrtle's bathroom, and he hurriedly asked, "Has anyone else entered this bathroom during this time besides you?"

"I don't know, I've been in the cubicle with Myrtle, and she's crying so much that she gets water everywhere, and I've had a lot of trouble getting her to listen to me. Ron wrinkled his nose and looked disgusted, "It's the stupidest thing I've ever done in my life, think about it, if Percy found out I was sneaking into the girls' bathroom, I don't know what I would say." And my purpose in doing this is to apologize to a crying ghost. ”

"Ron, think about it again, when you apologized to Myrtle, did you find anything out of the ordinary, it's crucial. Evan said with a serious expression.

"Well, I think I heard something, kind of a hiss, but I'm not sure. Ron swallowed, "Why do you ask, this girl's bathroom is broken, and there was no one else in it just now except me and Myrtle, isn't it?"

"That's right. Evan nodded stiffly, but his heart became more and more worried.

Someone went in and opened the chamber without Ron noticing, and Evan wasn't sure who did it.

Although Ginny made it clear that she had never seen Tom Riddle's diary, it is possible that she was lying. If she had been under control at the time, Aven's problem would have been a big surprise and would have made Tom Riddle suspicious of himself, which was simply the worst case scenario.

At the same time, he was also a little lucky, fortunately Ron had been staying in the cubicle just now, otherwise if he met Tom Riddle, he would have died by now.

"Aven, Ron, if you have anything to say, you can go back later. ”

Harry said unfluently, "We should see if this cat can be rescued now." ”

"I don't think it's a good idea, buddy!" said Ron, "since none of us have done anything to this cat on the wall, we'd better get out of here, I don't want to be found here." ”

But it was too late, and as soon as his words fell, a low noise came, and the banquet was over. From both ends of the corridor they were in, the sound of hundreds of feet climbing the stairs and the cheerful laughter of people after a full meal could be heard.

Then, the students pushed and shoved into the aisle from both ends.

When the people in front saw the upside-down cat, the line came to a sudden halt, and the bustling and chirping suddenly disappeared.

Aven, Harry, Ron, and Hermione stood alone in the middle of the hallway, and the students fell silent and rushed forward to watch the horrific scene. Evan saw Ginny and Colin standing in the crowd in surprise, looking like they wanted to come but didn't dare to approach.

In the midst of the silence, someone suddenly spoke loudly.

"Enemies of the heirs, be vigilant! Mudbloods, you're next!"

Draco Malfoy had already crowded to the front of the crowd, his cold eyes glowing, and his normally bloodless face flushed.

He looked at the still, stiff cat hanging there, and then at Evan standing beside him, and a grim smile appeared on his face.
