Chapter 148: Taming the Potion
"It's not safe here, it looks like I need to find another safer place..."
Myrtle looked at the cauldron, which would take four days to successfully ferment into a black liquid that would truly tame potions, and muttered to herself.
"Give up, you'll never make it!"
Hermione, who had been trapped in the void cage of her mind by Myrtle, screamed loudly when she heard Myrtle's thoughts.
She has been in this cage for a long time, and her whole person has fallen into despair.
If you live a life without hope, if you change to someone else, you will definitely choose to give up. Hermione, however, knew she couldn't escape the cage now, but that didn't mean she would never be able to.
At first, she hoped that she would be able to reappear as soon as the evil spirit that took over her body was revealed.
But in order not to be read out of her inner thoughts, this evil spirit specially studied brain glency.
The fantasy is in vain, and Hermione is not discouraged, she has been waiting for the next opportunity.
And when the evil spirit began to brew potions to the detriment of Arthur, the wise demon once again saw hope.
Although Arthur disliked Hermione, he was the strongest among all the first-year students.
Hermione believed that Arthur would not be seduced by this evil spirit and take the disgusting potion in front of him.
"Hmph, how can you be sure that my plan won't succeed? You don't know as much about him as I do. Look, your relationship with him for so long has not progressed as fast as I have done this week. Little sister, just give up."
Myrtle carefully picked up the cauldron and walked towards the door. These days, she has used the information she received from becoming a ghost to find three secret passages that have not been discovered by anyone.
Now these secret passages happened to be the best choice for her to hide potions.
Wait, sir. I will free you from the Chamber of Secrets. Make you the master of this world again.
After settling everything, Myrtle no longer paid attention to Hermione, who had been noisy in her mind, she glanced at the time, and hurried towards the transformation class classroom as the afternoon transformation class was about to start.
......
"Arthur, we've got a problem right now. It's just that there's still one ghost spot left. We've looked for all the ghosts in Hogwarts Castle at the moment. But only six agreed to work with us. We're missing one now."
"Actually, one of them has agreed to cooperate with us, but we can't fulfill his request. So we want to ask you what you can do?"
In the evening, the Holy Grail War game production team gathered again for a meeting in the secret passage. The Wesley Twins were the first to talk about the problems they were experiencing.
"One more? So who is this ghost who has a request? What is his request?"
Arthur looked at Wesley Twins suspiciously, there were not many ghosts in Hogwarts Castle, but there were more than twenty, which was missing a ghost spot, which made him very puzzled.
Could it be that Wesley's character is too bad? Lost credibility in the ghost?
After all, the Wesley Twins have a reputation for pranks, and it's not uncommon for the ghosts to know about it.
"It's Peeves, and he's agreed to work with us. But we need to help him find another ghost."
Fred said truthfully.
"It's a ghost who has been staying in the girls' bathroom. It's called Myrtle. We've been to the girls' bathroom a few times these days, but we haven't seen this ghost."
After his brother finished speaking, George added.
"What? You two actually went to the girls' bathroom? O Merlin's beard!
!」
Cedric, who had just entered the secret passage, looked surprised when he heard George say that the girls' bathroom was in the bathroom.
As a Hufflepuff, Cedric's worldview at this time has collapsed.
He couldn't believe that his friend was so perverted that he actually ran into the girls' bathroom.
"Oh! Cedric, why are you so reactive. It was nothing more than an abandoned girls' bathroom. It's been a long time since anyone used it."
Fred looked at Cedric's expression and quickly understood what his brain was thinking, so he explained helplessly.
"Oh, yes? I'm sorry, I thought it wrong."
Knowing that he had misunderstood the two, Cedric smiled awkwardly and touched the back of his head to sit down in front of the three.
Several people gathered around a kerosene lamp, eating snacks brought by Cedric, and thinking about Peeves' request.
"Is this ghost on a trip?"
Cedric put down a cake in his hand and said to the three of them.
"No way, Peeves said that Myrtle was forbidden by the Ministry of Magic to leave Hogwarts Castle years ago for harassing a certain wizard."
"So, she can't travel. As soon as she leaves Hogwarts Castle ten kilometres, the Ministry of Magic will receive an alarm signal."
As the sons of a staff member of the Ministry of Magic, George and Fred are well aware of how the Ministry of Magic works.
Any wizard or other creature whose freedom is restricted by them will leave some kind of special mark on their body in order to detect their movements.
This special mark is somewhat similar to the traces on the body of underage wizards. But it's a higher level of magic for traces.
"I'll be in charge of the disappearance of the ghost. You do the rest of the work first."
Arthur, who had been silent, spoke.
Arthur is very familiar with the ghost of Myrtle. On the first night of school, in order to help the audience, he met Myrtle when he entered the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.
At that time, Myrtle was affected by her writing ability and slept soundly on the skylight of the bathroom.
A ghost imprisoned in Hogwarts Castle suddenly disappeared for about 20 days, and the Ministry of Magic has not noticed it.
It's a very weird thing indeed.
As for the mystery of Myrtle's disappearance, Arthur's first thought was whether it was caused by an ancient creation that night.
But then think about it, when the ancient creations appeared, the ghosts of Hogwarts Castle couldn't stand the whispering and hid underground.
But then he exorcised the ancient creations, and the ghosts returned to the castle intact.
Therefore, the conjecture that myrtle was killed by an ancient creation is impossible to hold.
So what else is the reason? Arthur wasn't going to speculate any further.
He has the writing ability of a "fairy tale writer", and as long as he writes a story that makes Myrtle appear, Myrtle will appear naturally.
So instead of letting Wes come to the twins to find Myrtle, Arthur was the only one who could find Myrtle quickly.
"Haha, there's Arthur to do it. Peeves' request will be done soon."
Cedric said with a smile.
Arthur could have done the impossible before - getting the Hufflepuff Gold Cup from Gringotts.
This deepened Cedric and Wesley's trust in Arthur. Now that Arthur chooses to fulfill Peeves' request, they don't have any suspicions.
