Ginny saw the chair too, and her face was so weak and pale. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I've heard Percy say that Filch patrols here every day, and whenever anyone sneaks by, he's going to go up and check it. Ginny explained quietly.
"Oh, yes? Filch seems to really like his cat, otherwise he wouldn't have risked his life to stay here. ”
Benjamin muttered quietly.
Ginny didn't understand, but she still walked behind Benjamin very well-behaved, and the atmosphere was so harmonious from a distance.
It's just that only they know how embarrassing the air is now.
"That," Ginny seemed to be about to say something, but was interrupted by Benjamin, who looked a little agitated.
"Oh, look what I've found!" Benjamin bent down and began to examine the clues on the ground, "Oh, like a scorched mark!"
Ginny covered her mouth and raised her voice.
"Look at Benjamin, come and see!" Ginny looked a little more rosy in the excitement.
When Benjamin heard this, he stood up and walked to the window where Ginny was standing.
Immediately afterward, Benjamin saw a series of spiders and was about to crawl outside.
When Ginny saw these spiders, she was not particularly scared, but said in a joking tone, "It's good that Ron wasn't here, otherwise he would have been scared half to death!"
Benjamin glanced at the spiders, who were panicking, scrambling to squeeze through the cracks in the window, and then slowly spat out a strand from their mouth, and crawled along their silk to the outside.
It's as if they're hiding from something terrible.
When Benjamin heard Ginny's words, he said with some surprise, "You mean, Ron, he's scared of spiders?"
There was already some schadenfreude in his tone, and if Draco had known about it, it would undoubtedly have been an interesting disaster.
"Yes, the thing he was most afraid of growing up was spiders, I remember one time when I was a child, when it was just me and him in the house, I saw a spider in the kitchen and asked Ron to help me fight spiders. After calling for a long time, there was no response at all. Looking back, Ron turned pale with fright. ”
When Benjamin heard this, he immediately laughed very sincerely, "I really don't understand why he came to Gryffindor. ”
Ginny smiled kindly, sweat running down her forehead, only enlivening the overly weak face. "Since then, I have understood a truth, my brother is unreliable. Of course, there was also one time for Ron's birthday, and Fred turned his toy box into a spider. ”
Benjamin suddenly thought of sleeping with a spider with dozens of feet and fluffy on its feet, and he couldn't help but shiver, probably able to understand why Ron was afraid of spiders.
"Your brother in the family is indeed a bit unreliable. ”
Benjamin summed it up very seriously.
The atmosphere at this time is actually quite normal, and it may be better if it continues to be maintained.
Benjamin, however, heard footsteps nearby, and a voice he was familiar with.
"You're saying you called us because Benjamin turned it down?" said Ron, angry, his voice sounding right near them, maybe just around the corner.
Ginny immediately covered her mouth in surprise, and then looked at Benjamin in a panic.
Benjamin thought with some displeasure, but he could only lean down first, and said to Ginny very seriously, "Don't be nervous, we're nothing, it doesn't matter if we are seen." ”
Hermione's voice rang out again, "Ron, can you get to the point! We're here to find clues! What does it have to do with Benjamin!"
Ron said nonchalantly, "If it weren't for his rejection of you, it's the two of you now, looking for some kind of clue in this kind of place!"
"What do you mean by this kind of place! Ron, you!"
Ginny had already covered her ears with her hands, and then said to Benjamin very embarrassed, "It seems that the relationship between the two of them is not as good as I imagined." ”
Benjamin nodded, already turning his gaze behind them. He and Ginny couldn't just sit still like that, of course, he had just made Hermione angry, and it was a very unwise choice to appear in front of Hermione with Ginny.
So Benjamin decided to find a place to hide it first.
"You two, can you stop arguing!" Harry's voice rang out, and it was not surprising that the Iron Triangle would never be separated.
"Behold, on this earth!"
Harry had apparently found the scorched marks on the ground, as had Benjamin had noticed, and he was lying on the ground by this time, observing it carefully.
Benjamin believed that it would barely take them long to spot the spider's anomaly and see him and Ginny.
"Ginny, do you know where to go around here?" asked Benjamin in a whisper.
Ginny touched the necklace around her neck before she said to Benjamin, "I think there's an abandoned girls' washbasin over here, and they shouldn't find it." ”
"Girls' sink?" asked Benjamin in surprise, but he himself had already taken the lead.
"That's right, it's the crying myrtle that everyone often talks about. Ginny said simply, "I've only been there once." ”
Benjamin suddenly knew where this was, and every time he went to the girls' sink from the other direction, he didn't know how close it was to the scene of the incident.
"No problem, let's go check it out first. ”
Benjamin and Ginny went to the girls' washroom together.
Although this was not the first time Benjamin had been here, he was familiar and nimble enough to avoid the dirty water on the ground.
But he had to say that it was the darkest, most dreary place he had ever been. Beneath a large, stained, cracked mirror is a row of stone pools with peeling surfaces. The floor was wet, and a few candle heads burned low on the brackets, emitting a dim light that made the floor gloomy. The wooden doors of the single rooms were peeling and scratched, and one door had its hinges off and hung waddly there.
