Chapter 19 Ai Wen's Worries
The fire was burning quietly, and Ai Wen wrote quickly. When the others came back, he had finished the article, and only some details needed to be revised.
"Evan!" Hermione and Colin took the lead into the common room, and she ran over with a look of joy, "Great, we took enough photos and got the manuscript of his novel from Professor Lockhart, How are you doing here?"
"Very smooth, it's over." Ivan wrote the last letter.
"Let me take a look." Hermione picked up the parchment, and then noticed the contents on it, her face gradually became surprised, "God, this is..."
Before she could express her opinion, Harry and Ron followed into the common room, in contrast to Hermione and Colin, who seemed to be in bad shape.
"Guys, tonight was terrible!" Ron explained in a monotonous voice. "After we left the Great Hall, we first encountered Peeves throwing big shit in the innermost corridor of the third floor, and then suddenly Filch, who showed up, caught it, he thought Harry and I did it, and insisted on taking us to his office."
"Wait, what are you doing there, I remember that there should be no one in that corridor." Ai Wen's heart moved, that corridor was the focus of his attention, because at the end of the corridor was the bathroom of Weeping Myrtle, where the entrance to the secret room was located. .
He once tried to go there to find the crying myrtle when no one was there, but was found by Filch's cat "Mrs. Norris" several times in a row, and then was immediately caught by Filch, Ivan had to waste a lot Talking and explaining to the other party why he went to the girls' bathroom is not an easy task.
"I think I saw Ginny pass by, but that's not the point." Ron waved his hand, "The point is that we managed to escape from Filch and found Nick on the fifth floor, and he agreed to convince the other ghosts. Come and help us gather news, but only if..."
"Go to his five hundred anniversary party, on Halloween." Harry's voice was equally weak, "We've promised!"
"Think about it, on Halloween, go to the basement to attend Nick's death party." Ron took a breath, and then realized that in addition to Colin, Ivan and Hermione, who were sitting by the fire, seemed to have a problem with this Things are indifferent.
Ai Wen was thinking about Ginny, and Hermione was completely immersed in Ai Wen's story, not hearing what Ron was saying at all.
"What happened to the two of you, I'm not surprised at all, this is a gathering of ghosts..." Ron didn't finish his words, Harry pulled him carefully, and he noticed Hermione His expression was a little abnormal, his hands tightly holding the parchment in his hands, and his eyes were red.
He stopped abruptly, not sure if he had provoked Hermione.
"Hermione, are you all right?" Harry whispered.
"I'm fine, Harry!" Hermione looked up, wiping the corners of her eyes with her hand.
The next second, when no one could react, she suddenly stood up and gave Harry a hug.
"Hermione, you..." Harry was at a loss.
"Harry, this is an article written by Ivan, you should read it." Hermione shoved the parchment into Harry's hand.
Harry shifted his puzzled eyes to the parchment, and three seconds later he realized what was written on it, his face suddenly pale.
"Evan, these..."
"It's all true. I learned the truth from Mrs. Bathilda Bagshot," Irving explained. "She's been living in Godric's Hollow, a neighbor to your parents, and she's seen everything happen that day."
The atmosphere gradually became dull, and no one spoke.
"Please, who can tell me what's going on here?" Ron muttered with some dissatisfaction, and Hermione hurriedly explained to him in a low voice.
After listening to Hermione's explanation, looking at Harry, whose face was getting paler and paler, Ron said worriedly, "Harry, what Ivan wrote about your mother, didn't you know before?"
"I don't know, no one has ever told me that before," Harry replied in a shaky voice, trying to keep his tears from falling.
But it didn't seem to work. The words on the parchment seemed to turn into a real scene before him. Harry let the Buddha see that on that night, Voldemort killed his parents, and that part of his childhood recurred in his dreams. green light and woman's cry.
"I'm sorry, Harry!" After a long time, Ivan whispered, and he noticed how much these things he wrote hurt Harry.
In the past ten years, Harry knew almost nothing about his parents, and now he suddenly presented their death process in detail. For him, it must be a very cruel thing.
"It's not your fault, Ai Wen, it's just me..." Harry wiped the tears from his cheeks.
The anomaly in the corner quickly attracted the attention of others, and Harry didn't want others to see him crying, he turned sharply and ran to the bedroom, holding the parchment tightly in his hand.
"Don't worry, give him to me." Ron ran after him.
On the sofa by the fireplace, there were only Aiwen with a frustrated face, Hermione with red eyes, and Colin who had not figured out what happened.
"It's all my fault, I wrote about his mother without asking Harry's permission first."
"Actually, I think you wrote it very well." Hermione came over and hugged Ai Wen, "Harry just needs some time to digest this matter."
Hearing Hermione's consolation, Ivan's mood improved somewhat. He took Bathilda Bagshot's reply to Hermione. The two discussed something that happened that day, and the topic gradually turned to the content and layout of other articles in the newspaper.
Time passed, and Colin sat for a while to work on the photos before leaving, while Hermione stayed until midnight, before going back to sleep with the thick parchment.
When the fire was about to burn out, there was only Ai Wen left in the common room, and then he saw Ginny clumsily crawled in.
She looked very embarrassed, as if she had just fought a troll, her robe was full of dust, her face was paler than Harry's, and she couldn't see any blood.
Ai Wen's heart sank suddenly, could it be that the secret room has been opened!
"Ginny, you..."
"Don't worry, Ai Wen!"
Behind Ginny, Fred climbed in, "Ginny followed us to confirm a newly discovered secret passage, and encountered a little trouble."
"A box full of big shit was discovered by Peeves. It was a disaster. Fortunately, we ran fast." George also climbed in.
"Hope Filch can handle it!" Ginny nodded in agreement.
Hearing their explanation, Ai Wen breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that Ginny was controlled by Tom Riddle and went to the secret room. Now it seems that this is not the case at all.
It was very late. After a few more chocolates, they went back to sleep and stood outside their bedroom. Ai Wen frowned and watched Ginny gradually disappear at the corner of the stairs.
"Ginny, do you know Tom Riddle?" Ivan murmured suddenly.
"What did you say?" Ginny stopped, she didn't seem to hear clearly, and it took a long time for her to reply in a low voice.
"No, nothing, good night." Ai Wen turned and entered the bedroom.
"Good night, Ai Wen!" Under the candlelight, the girl's brown eyes were extremely bright.
