Chapter 292: A Conversation with Myrtle (Part I)
"You mean, Harry and the others are preparing to make a potion in the girls' bathroom on the second floor, right?"
In the old place on the fifth floor of the castle, William was talking to the ghost of Myrtle.
This is the place where he and Myrtle agreed to exchange information.
William hadn't been there since the last time William had laid everything out at the entrance to the girls' bathroom on the second floor.
He wasn't stupid at all, unlike the Gryffindors who only knew how to rush forward, William took his life very seriously.
What if you were talking to Myrtle there and came across a journal that was about to take the basilisk around the castle?
William asked himself if he could defeat a basilisk that was fifty feet (about fifteen meters) long on average, with deadly venom and eyes that could stare straight into death.
Not to mention that it was an old monster bred by Slytherin's own hands, and it must have far surpassed the average basilisk in terms of body length and other physical qualities.
"Yes, I hid in the toilet and eavesdropped on their conversation." Myrtle happily rolled up and down in the empty classroom.
In William's view, Myrtle is also a somewhat sick little girl, and the discrimination and ridicule she endured changed Myrtle's personality forever.
Although she usually looks cowardly and loves to cry, Myrtle actually has a strong blackening potential in her essence.
She longs to be the girl who used to bully her, or to make some bad jokes like those girls.
In addition, according to William's speculation, Myrtle also has this strong voyeuristic desire, and during the episode of the fourth-year Goblet of Fire, she once spied on Harry in the prefect's bathroom.
And according to Myrtle at that time, it wasn't the first time she had done that kind of thing.
She likes to secretly watch boys, especially those who are handsome, and they are very attractive to myrtle.
After meeting William, perhaps influenced by what William said, Myrtle let herself go even more.
In the words of the previous life, it seems that it should be called sick and delicate?
"I overheard their conversation, and they seemed to be trying to make some compound potion, what was it? How I feel as if I've heard it somewhere. Myrtle asked, a little puzzled.
She lost most of her memories after becoming a ghost, so it only felt familiar when she heard the Polyjuice Potion. She may have heard the Potions professor talk about the magic, as Hermione had done.
"It's a very magical and complex potion that can turn a person into another person, regardless of gender, for a period of time.
Except for the difference in magic, soul, and tone of speech and living habits, there is almost no difference from me. William briefly explained the effect of the compound.
"This is a potion controlled by the Ministry of Magic, and the Ministry of Magic of any country prohibits wizards from making this potion without permission."
"Really!? I mean, if I take this potion, I'm going to be a different person? And also to change gender? ”
Myrtle's mouth grew in surprise, and judging by her flickering eyes, William could easily guess what the rotten girl was up to.
"Don't think about it, the compound potion is only for living human wizards, you have become a ghost, there is no way to use this potion." William said crisply.
I really don't know when Myrtle became so rotten, looking at her nymphomaniac, she probably looks like a handsome guy.
"Is there really no way? Has anyone, not, a ghost ever tried in history? Myrtle asked with some reluctance.
"I really don't know about this, I don't think anyone has studied what it would be like to use a polyjuice decoction on a ghost, how about it, do you want to try it?
But I'm going to say that it's hard for me to guarantee that such an experiment won't go in the unknown. Myrtle's words also piqued William's interest, and it was indeed a very interesting experiment.
If Myrtle cooperates, then it is not impossible to explore the effects of compound potions on ghosts.
Ghosts can use potions configured by wizards.
In the original book, Nick, who was almost headless, was petrified by the basilisk and was eventually saved by a resurrection potion prepared with a mandrake.
"Well, I'm already a pathetic ghost, what else is there to be afraid of." Myrtle's voice is full of sadness, and most of the ghosts become emotional after becoming ghosts.
"Moreover, is your so-called soul experiment really under your control?"
"Of course, at least I can guarantee your safety in that experiment, I still have research on souls." William naturally wouldn't admit it, and he said in a rather certain tone.
"I'll talk about this later, the configuration of compound drugs is more troublesome, and if we want to experiment, our dosage must be very large.
When Harry's potions are ready, I can talk to them, the three of them won't be able to fill a cauldron full of potions. ”
Although William could also configure it himself, he didn't have time to spend on making potions, and William, who was mediocre in potions, could hardly guarantee the success rate of potions, and it was too expensive to buy them through the black market, so he would hit Harry and the others with his idea.
Speaking of this, William couldn't help but admire the strength of Harry's protagonist's aura, and several of them had been boiling potions at the entrance of the secret room for a whole month, and they didn't come across the diary that came to open the secret room.
What kind of small probability event is this!
If they happen to bump into Ginny, who is about to lead the basilisk around, then Harry Potter may be over by the second installment.
"What else did they say?" William continued to ask Myrtle if he needed to understand how far the plot had progressed through the dynamics of Harry's people.
"They also talked about going to Slytherin and Ravenclaw to find out about the Chamber of Secrets, the little henchman of Potter who he suspects is the Chamber of Secrets that you and Draco opened together." Myrtle looked at William with suspicion.
"Is what he said true?"
"How could it be, that's what Weasley said, he never had a brain." After complaining about the brainless Ron, William continued to talk to Myrtle.
"If it were me, would I ask you to investigate the secret room? And if Draco had opened the Chamber of Secrets, all of Hogwarts would have known about it in less than three days with his big mouth. Speaking of secret rooms, how are you doing with the things I asked you to help me with? ”
"I've been searching along Hogwarts' drainage system for days and found nothing but rats and tide bugs, what are you looking for?" Myrtle asked William a little strangely.
"The Chamber of Secrets, I want to find the one left behind by Slytherin, and by my guess, it must be somewhere underground."
