"Myrtle in the bathroom!" Harry and Ron couldn't help but scream again.

They looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise, they didn't expect that the girl who was killed back then was Myrtle.

"Oh my God, we're stupid to stay in the bathroom for so long and not find out." Ron patted his head and said in frustration.

"So, the entrance to the secret room is in the girls' bathroom?" Harry assured Hermione.

"Hmm."

Hermione nodded, "At least it has to do with the bathroom, we have to ask Myrtle." ”

"I think I should just tell you." Harry muttered, believing in his heart that Dumbledore would have been able to solve the matter perfectly if he had known this.

"Harry has a point."

Ron nodded and said, "It's better to leave this matter to the professors, we've investigated enough."

The three of them looked at each other, and they all saw the same idea in each other's eyes.

They ran out of Gryffindor's common room and towards the headmaster's office, and since they were all on the eighth floor, the three of them came to the huge stone beast guarding the gate in a few steps.

However, what Harry didn't expect was that the person standing at the gate actually looked sad.

Running forward, Harry, still a little out of breath, said to Professor McGonagall, "I, we want to find Headmaster Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall."

McGonagall was in a state of sadness, as if she had heard Harry's words and had only discovered him.

She wiped the corners of her eyes with her hand and looked at Harry and the others with pity, "Oh- poor boy, are you here to see Dumbledore too?"

Her tone sounded very sad

"How can they do that... At such a moment—" After a pause, McGonagall bent down and gently touched the top of Harry's head and said:

"I think Dumbledore should be almost in the hall by now, you guys should be able to see him now......"

McGonagall's words were incoherent, apparently assuming that Harry and the others already knew what was going on.

The three of them looked at each other for a moment, and Hermione said decisively, "Let's go, let's go to the hall first."

They didn't have time to ask McGonagall what was going on, and ran back and forth down the stairwell to the first floor.

Along the way, it seems that many students are also like them, rushing down.

"To ...... What's going on? …… It's as if only a few of us don't know. Ron had a hellish look on his face, he hadn't been running back and forth like this for a long time, and he was already out of breath.

Harry and Hermione didn't reply, but the look on their faces was not good, and it was clear from Professor McGonagall's attitude that what happened was definitely not a good thing.

After a while, when a few people finally ran to the lobby, they found that it was already crowded.

Students dressed in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry uniforms filled the Great Hall, lined up on either side, and in a small aisle in the middle, three people were slowly walking outside the school.

"Dumbledore!"

"Lucius? Malfoy! Harry and Ron exclaimed, and it was Dumbledore and Lucius Malfoy walking in the center, and of course, the Minister for Magic who was pacing slowly in front of them, Connelly? Fudge.

"Let's go up and have a look." Harry pulled Ron by the hand, and the three of them pushed through the crowd and leaned closer to the aisle.

"Hey, don't squeeze, Ron - we want to see it too." Seeing that they were about to squeeze into the front row, a pair of tall twin boys stood in front of them, both with smiles on their faces and red hair exactly like Ron.

"Something happened! Fred? George? The two were none other than Ron's twin brothers, and the three of them stopped, and Ron asked eagerly.

"Ahh Fred touched his nose and said with a grin.

"Oh my God—how could they do that!" Harry exclaimed in disbelief.

"Can you please stop being so happy?" Ron's face was frustrated

"It's over."

"We don't think so." George winked his eyes at Fred

"They'll have to get Dumbledore back sooner or later."

"Of course! No one but Dumbledore could solve this matter. Fred whispered to them as if he were telling a big secret.

Although the two of them made sense, Harry didn't know why he still couldn't laugh, Dumbledore was gone, so who else could solve the matter of the Chamber of Secrets? To whom can they tell what they have discovered?

"By the way, you see that Ginny doesn't—" Fred said suddenly, standing on his tiptoes and looking around, "Patsy has been looking for her all morning, and it seems that the two of them have some little secret in common lately."

"We're supposed to be Ginny's favorite brother!" George nodded in agreement, and at the same time pretended to be jealous, and said sourly.

Harry had no intention of listening to his twins' jokes, and he stared at Dumbledore intently, hoping that he would suddenly stop and tell Fudge, "I'm going to settle the mess here before leaving."

However, reality is never what it seems. Dumbledore walked quietly and calmly towards the door, as if he were not worried about the chaos of the school's teachers and students behind him.

The smile on his face was as kind, kind, wise, and unconsciously wanting to rely on Harry when they first met.

Suddenly, Harry's heart was inexplicably calmed, and an indescribable strange feeling took over him, he felt Dumbledore walk out of the doors of Hogwarts, but it didn't seem to have left the school.

His wisdom, his courage remained, and Harry felt a warm current circulating in his body, a powerful courage and confidence born from the bottom of his heart.

No longer flustered, no longer six gods and no masters, Harry silently watched Dumbledore leave step by step, his eyes full of determination.

"Dumbledore is gone, so we'll be up to us."

When the courage in Harry's heart overcame the panic, Hermione kept her eyes on the other person standing not far away, Ning An.

Ning An also mixed in with the crowd, and there were several Slytherin students standing next to him, Hermione knew Daphne, Samantha, Walter, and there seemed to be a tall wizard named Pani? Starr is coming.

Several of them gathered around Ning An, and a small space was vacant around them, and they were frowning at this time, with a serious expression, and Ning An was also saying something to them seriously.

Hermione didn't know why, and there was a feeling of unease in her heart, Dumbledore had left Hogwarts, and there was a basilisk wandering around the school, the unknown Slytherin heir, Ning An...... Everything made Hermione feel like things were far out of control.

"Students, don't worry!"

Just as everyone watched Dumbledore leave, a loud shout suddenly rang out in the center of the auditorium, as if someone had used "loud voice".

Looking away, Hermione and the others looked ahead, only to see Gildero? Lockhart tapped his wand lightly to his throat, waved his arms and stood in the middle of the crowd, and said with a proud face:

"You can rest assured! Headmaster Dumbledore had already given me everything before he left—whether it was the heir of Slytherin or the monster in the Chamber of Secrets, it would never have been seen again—or I would have caught them myself!" ”

He looked triumphant, and Ron rolled his eyes as he watched.

"Please—who can go up there and knock him unconscious?"

At this moment, there was a commotion in the auditorium, only to hear the crowd shouting: "Something's wrong, it's not good!" A girl has been taken to the secret room! ”

The crowd exploded, and the buzzing of the conversation was incessant, as if the beehive had been knocked to the ground, and the scene was chaotic.

Standing in the middle, Lockhart was squeezed by the crowd, but he quietly lowered his wand, undone his spell, and lowered his head to look like he wanted to leave.

Harry and the others looked at each other, but they didn't expect that as soon as Dumbledore left, things would get bigger.

"What should I do?" Ron asked blankly

"Let's go back to the common room first, it's not safe outside now." Hermione said calmly.

However, as soon as the three of them turned around, they found that several people appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

"Ning'an?" Harry didn't expect Ning An to run in front of them at this time.

Ning'an, Samantha, Walter, Parney, and Laurel stood in front of Harry, looking at them solemnly.

"What do you want to do!?" Ron looked nervous, and he stood in front of Harry and Hermione, shouting warily.

"Don't be so nervous—Ron."

Ning An made a relaxed gesture, looked at the crowd running around him, and whispered, "I think I found out, I guessed where the secret room is."

"Girls' bathroom? The myrtle's room? Ron still wouldn't move

"Hermione had already guessed it."

"Really?" Ning An said in surprise: "That's really good - so I don't have to explain, let's go quickly, there is not much time."

"Where are we going?" Harry asked.

"Go to the secret room!" Ning An said as if it were taken for granted.

"Oooh—I think it's better to leave this to the professors—Professor Lockhart, for example." Ron looked at Ning An and said.

Ning An retracted the steps he had taken, turned around, looked at Ron calmly, and said slowly, "Is that so?" But it was your little sister who was brought into the secret room, Ginny? What about Weasley. ”

"What did you say!"

Ron's face turned pale, and he screamed.

"It's not a funny joke, Ning An, even if it's a joke, it's not this time-" Hermione stood up, stared at Ning An with a serious face, and said with some loss.

"Do you think I'm joking?" Ning An responded coldly

"Her bones will remain in the Chamber of Secrets forever - it was left by the Slytherin heirs, Samantha saw this with her own eyes, do I need to lie to you?"

Seeing that Ning An looked serious, while Samantha, who was standing behind him, was full of banter, as if mocking Ron, the three of them realized that this was not a prank, and Ginny was probably really caught in the secret room.

"Oh my God! Ginny. Ron fell to his knees silently.

"Ron—" Harry hurried to hold him up.

"That's why I said there's no time—let's go." Ning An had already turned around in front of him, looking like he was about to leave.

"Where?"

"Myrtle's bathroom." Ning An said as a matter of course: "Let's go and ask Myrtle, there is a good chance that the entrance to the secret room will be there."

"Let's go—" Ron relented, struggling to get out of Harry's arm and rushing to Ning An in two steps, shouting anxiously.

His eyes swept over Ron, seeing the other party's rare look of determination, Ning An smiled, looked at Harry and Hermione and seemed to ask, how is it? What are your plans?

"Ron......

Harry and Hermione looked at Ron's anxious appearance and wished they could help him, but—

No time. Harry thought helplessly that if he dragged on for one more minute, Ginny would be more dangerous.

He bit down hard, stepped forward and said, "Let's go, let's go to the bathroom."

Hermione also walked forward, but the way she looked at Ning An's gaze was extremely complicated.

There was a faint bad premonition in her heart, but she couldn't say it, Hermione hoped that it was just her own illusion, so she comforted herself, and the three of them followed Ning An and the others all the way to the girls' bathroom.

Although there were a lot of them, and they seemed very flustered, they were not conspicuous, because at this time, in the corridors, in the corridors, up and down the stairs, from time to time there would be students running past them in a panic.

It seems that Dumbledore's departure, and Ginny's taking to the Chamber of Secrets, have completely affected the psychology of the Hogwarts students.

But the few of them were already too busy to take care of themselves, and when they hurried to the bathroom, Ron felt as if hours had passed.

"Where? Where is the entrance? ”

"I guess I'll have to ask Myrtle about that." Ning An knocked unhurriedly on the door of one of the bathrooms, and Ron recognized that this was the room where Myrtle usually stayed.

The door was pushed open by Ning An, and the crying myrtle was sitting on the toilet inside, and suddenly so many people surrounded her, as if she was scared, she opened her mouth wide, and after a while, she actually screamed:

"Who are you! What do you want to do to me! ”

"Hey, calm down, Myrtle—" Ning An took out his wand from his bosom and said softly to the little girl:

"Listen, we don't have much time, and if you don't answer a few questions, I might be able to pull some spell - maybe you'll never see anyone again."

"Woo-oh my- you-" Myrtle whimpered and sobbed with a look of horror on her face, but she stopped screaming.

Harry seemed to have a lot of criticism about Ning An's way of speaking, and his throat trembled a few times, but finally he didn't say anything, because Ron was also looking at Myrtle eagerly.

"Okay, then now answer me, how did you die Myrtle?" Ning An's question looked unexpected, and she stopped crying in surprise, and the look on her face became proud again.

The ghost was always so moody, and she slowed down, and laughed a little smugly, because no one had ever asked this question that made her proud.

"Oh, I'll die here, in this toilet, then, Olivie? Humbe laughed at me for wearing glasses like a four-eyed dog, and I was so sad that I hid here and cried inside, and suddenly I heard someone come in, and then I died. ”

She lifted her glasses, made a gesture of recollection, and said, "I remember that when I died, there were a pair of big brass-colored eyes, and when I saw those eyes, I was dead."
