Chapter 648 The Man on the Marauder's Map
Ron was still digesting the shocking news, and couldn't believe that he was going into the lake.
"Myrtle, besides the giant squid, what other animals live in the lake?" Harry continued.
"Oh, there are a lot of things, and there are so many kinds, far beyond your imagination!" she said, as if a little unhappy, "I also go to the lake to hang out sometimes, sometimes I have no choice. flushed my toilet..."
Harry refrained from thinking about how Myrtle must have been amusing, following the filth from the toilet down the drain and into the lake.
If possible, he also wants to try once.
"So, what's in there that can make a human voice?" Harry asked, "Wait a minute..."
His eyes fell on the picture of a sleeping mermaid on the wall, and he pushed Ron hastily.
"A merman, Ron, it must be a merman!" he said quickly. "Myrtle, there must be a merman in there, is there?"
"Fine!" she said, looking at Harry with satisfaction through the thick glasses, "it took Digory much longer, and she was awake then!"
She pointed her head at the mermaid, with a very disgusted expression on her sad face.
"Huh, giggling as usual, posing like a student coming to take a shower, showing off her fins..." she said dissatisfied.
"Harry, you mean..." Ron's eyes also fell on the portrait of the mermaid.
"That must be the case. The second project is to go to the lake to find the mermaid, and then..." Harry couldn't continue, and suddenly realized what he was talking about, and the excitement of just discovering the secret suddenly Just slipped away from his heart.
He remembered that the lake was very wide and deep, and the mermaid must live in the deepest part of the water...
This was no longer a matter of going swimming, how could Ron breathe in it? !
Obviously, Ron also thought of this, and now he has no joy in cracking the golden egg, and his face is ashen.
"Myrtle, do you know how to breathe underwater?" he asked hopefully.
At this, Myrtle's eyes burst into tears again.
"Mindless!" she muttered, fumbling in her robes for a handkerchief, "discussing breathing in front of me!"
There were more and more tears in her eyes, and she jumped down from the faucet.
"You know I can't!" She screamed, her voice echoing loudly in the bathroom, "You know me, and you haven't for a long, long time..."
She buried her face in her handkerchief and blew her nose loudly.
It just occurred to Harry that Myrtle had always been very sensitive to the fact that she was dead, and that no other ghost he had known had made such a fuss.
Ron thought of that too, but he had no desire to comfort Myrtle, only to get out of here.
He's about to drown in a lake and now he needs to apologize to an annoying ghost? !
"Sorry!" Finally, Harry said impatiently, "We didn't mean it, we just forgot!"
"Oh, yes, it's easy to forget that Myrtle is dead," said Myrtle, choking up, looking at them with red, puffy eyes. It took a long, long time to find my body, I know because I was just sitting there waiting for them. Olive Hombeva came into the bathroom and said to me 'Are you sulking in here again, Peach Gold lady? Professor Dippet told me to come to you...' Then she suddenly saw my dead body, oh, she will never forget that scene until she died, I can guarantee that I followed her everywhere, Remind her. I remember, at her brother's wedding . . . of course, she went to the Ministry and stopped me from following her, so I had to go back here and live in my toilet!"
It was an unpleasant memory indeed, and Myrtle seemed to hold a grudge beyond imagination.
Harry and Ron didn't listen at all, neither of them even cared about being seen by the other.
The two picked up the golden egg from the bottom of the bath, climbed up, dried themselves as quickly as possible, and put on their clothes again.
"Fred and George must have known about this, and knew that Myrtle would come over to peep, so they gave me the password to enter here!" Ron said angrily, "To visit her?! Unless all the toilets in the castle are closed. Sealed with earth, otherwise I will never approach that place again."
"Myrtle is really bad, but she helped us after all!" said Harry. "Dive underwater, what are you going to do?"
"I don't know, go back and ask Ivan and Hermione, they must know!" Ron said weakly.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he really couldn't do anything about the current situation.
He originally thought that he could not rely on Aiwen's help this time, but he couldn't.
After seeing Hermione like that at the dance, Ron has been feeling very uncomfortable recently. He always thinks of the scene of Ivan and Hermione dancing, and the scary paintings that Ivan took out in the tavern this morning. Patterned parchment...
Now is not the time to have conflicts with Ivan, Ron reminded himself, this is a lesson he has learned in the past few years.
Aiwen's strength is very strong, far beyond his imagination, and he needs the help of the other party.
"Ron, we have to go back quickly!" Harry said, shining the cloak on top of the two of them and examining them carefully, "It's getting late, come on, I'll take the golden egg, and you'll be in charge of checking things out." Click on the map."
The two of them came to the dark corridor outside, and Ron checked the Marauder's Map absently.
The two little dots of Filch and his cat, Mrs. Norris, were safe and sound in their office.
The castle was completely silent, except for Peeves, who was making a fuss upstairs in the trophy room.
"Let's go!" said Ron, stopping suddenly.
Peeves was not the only one active, he saw Ivan and Hermione suddenly appear at the castle gate.
What are the two of them going out for, is it a date? !
Thinking of this, thinking of the picture of Ivan and Hermione kissing, he felt uncomfortable.
Ron had recently gone on a date with Lavender, and finally knew what guys and girls did when they were alone.
Thinking about it this way, Ivan and Hermione have been together for a long time, and they must be the same...
"What's the matter, Ron?" Harry leaned over and saw Ivan and Hermione appearing at the gate, "It's strange, why are the two of them there, let's go there!"
He tugged on Ron's sleeve, and Ron came back to himself.
"Oh!" He was about to put away the Marauder's Map when his sight suddenly stopped.
Because he saw that there was another small dot moving around in a room on the left-hand corner of the ground floor.
That was Professor Snape's office, but the name in the little marginalia was not "Severus Snape".
It was Keresis Slytherin! ! ! Browse and read the address:
