"Myrtle, I want to ask you something."

"Something? Well, as long as you don't dislike me."

Myrtle's sensitive emotions were a headache, and John could only try not to touch them.

"I want to ask, do you know what secret rooms there are in Hogwarts?"

Myrtle flew out of the toilet with a puzzled look on her face, "The secret room? I've never seen it before."

"Well, looks like I need to ask someone else."

John didn't get the answer and was about to leave. As he walked out, he bumped into someone.

"Uh...I'm here to see Myrtle, I hope you understand."

He looked at the visitor with some embarrassment and was caught coming out of the girls' bathroom.

Ginny was a little panicked. She didn't dare to meet John's eyes, and the black leather book in her hand fell from her hand.

"Are you okay Ginny?"

John noticed something was wrong with her and asked to help her pick up the diary.

It was this movement that made Ginny scream: "Don't touch him!"

"Feel sorry……"

Withdrawing his hand, John watched Ginny pick up the black leather notebook and leave quickly.

He wondered: "Why does it feel like something is wrong with Ginny?"

Compared with the last time they met, Ginny was in a very unstable state now.

And he looked haggard, as if he hadn't slept well for many days.

"Maybe I should ask Luna."

John left the girls' bathroom, and after he left, Ginny circled back.

There was a whisper in her ear that made her feel dazed.

...

"Have you...have you ever...read it?"

John, who was about to go to Filch's office to brush Mrs. Norris, heard the conversation, and Filch's nervous stammering voice stopped him.

"This is not mine, it's for a friend of mine. It may look...but..."

Filch stammered and lost his usual aggressiveness. John moved closer and saw Harry in the office.

Filch stood there at a loss as if he had done something wrong. In the end, Filch let Harry go without even punishing him.

"strangeness."

John felt what was wrong with everyone today, why everything was wrong.

After Harry left, he saw Filch nervously hiding a letter.

He knocked on the door and went in. Mrs. Norris meowed.

Filch stiffened and turned around, obviously relieved when he saw it was John.

John didn't hesitate and waved to Mrs. Norris, who ran over.

"I guess you won't mind if I brush it."

"Of course."

Filch was still a little nervous, so John shrugged and took Mrs. Norris out.

He took out the comb and combed out Mrs. Norris's knotted hair.

The hair on her body was finally no longer tangled, and Mrs. Norris circled John as if to thank him.

John waved it away.

Walking in the corridor, John heard some strange noises.

"It sounded like crawling."

John moved closer to the wall and put his ear to it.

His facial features were sharp, and the faint sound of movement disappeared after a while.

John touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "It doesn't sound like a mouse, more like the sound of a body dragging."

Something crawled by his feet. John looked down and saw it was a group of spiders.

"A swarm of spiders left, what happened to them?"

Watching the spiders swarm away, John felt something was wrong.

Thinking of spiders, John thought of the spider den he went to with Hagrid in the first grade.

"Forget it, let's go see Hagrid."

John shook his head and headed to Hagrid's cabin.

He didn't see Hagrid when he arrived, but he did see Fang.

"Fang, where is Hagrid?"

John asked casually, Yaya got up and took John to the back of the house.

There was a flock of chickens raised by Hagrid, but today they were just a pile of corpses.

Hagrid was investigating here. When John came over, Hagrid said angrily: "Someone killed my chicken. It's too cruel."

These chickens were not killed by animals, and there were no traces of animal bites, indicating that they were killed by humans.

Hagrid was very angry. He had raised these chickens.

John fell into deep thought, the spiders in the castle left in droves, and Hagrid's chickens were killed again, all of which revealed something strange.

After staying with Hagrid for a while, John came to the Whomping Willow.

The Whomping Willow has almost recovered, and it is estimated that it will be fully recovered in another week.

It's just that there are a lot of branches missing, and John took them out for alchemy.

To this end he expanded his collection with various talismans and conjuring rings.

Two things played a huge role in the attack on Borgin Bock, and Mr. Borkin had no doubt that it was a werewolf.

Because werewolves cannot use magic after transformation.

After dumping dragon dung around, John met Luna near the Whomping Willow.

"There's something wrong with Ginny."

Luna has a pair of observant eyes, and her ethereal voice seems to be singing, "She hasn't looked at me recently."

"I think there's a problem too."

John nodded in approval, Ginny was unfamiliar with him.

So he was going to let Ron see if something was wrong with him.

In Potions class, John threw the sliced ​​bat spleen into the cauldron, stirred it counterclockwise four times and then heated it at low temperature for thirty seconds.

With a wave of his wand, a swelling potion was completed.

Professor Snape gave Slytherin 20 points.

After class, John found Ron and mentioned Ginny's matter to him.

Ron said he would pay attention, but then brought the topic back to the wand.

"This wand is simply amazing."

Ron was generous with his praise, and John nodded humbly.

Harry came over and invited John, "We are going to the anniversary of the death of Nearly Headless Nick. Do you want to go with us?"

To be honest, Harry already regretted agreeing, because that day happened to be the Halloween party.

It's better to celebrate with your classmates than with a bunch of ghosts.

John waved his hand and refused: "Sorry, I don't have time that day, I have to take care of the Whomping Willow."

"Okay." Harry also knew that John was not available, so he did not continue the invitation.

...

On the night of the Halloween party, John came back from the Whomping Willow and saw the spider again.

"What on earth is it?"

Staring at the spider's movement, John looked for it.

He thought of the danger Dobby said, could it be this?

After searching all the way, John came to the corridor on the second floor.

He found a puddle of water at the corner of a corridor.

"Where does the water come from? It doesn't rain here."

John thought there was something strange about this pool of water, so he looked for it along the road where he found the water.

He circled back to the girls' bathroom.

Just as he was about to go in, John thought of his previous embarrassment and stopped.

"There shouldn't be anyone around, right?"

Feeling guilty as a thief, John looked around.

After walking into the girls' bathroom, he saw a puddle of water on the ground.

It got him thinking.

"Did Myrtle do it?"

John walked toward the toilet to see if Myrtle was there.

At this moment, a dark shadow flashed in the mirror.

John's nerves were tense and he took out his wand without hesitation and looked back.

He heard the sound of something moving.

Being cautious, John felt inexplicably depressed.

I walked towards the cubicles, but there was nothing in each one.

John was wondering where he was when he heard a cat meowing.

"Mrs. Norris?"

Hearing the voice, John recognized Mrs. Norris.

The cat was outside in the hallway and John walked out.

Mrs. Norris was climbing up and down, and she seemed to have discovered something.

"Be careful Mrs. Norris, there may be danger here."

John reached out and touched Mrs. Norris's chin. He followed Mrs. Norris and searched in the corridor.

He didn't know what the flashing black shadow was, but his instinct told John that it was dangerous.

He felt like something was watching him, which made him nervous.

Mrs. Norris walked to a puddle of water at the corner. It might be thirsty and was drinking water there.

The sound of movement sounded in John's ears, and then he heard a cat's scream.

Turning around, I saw the big black guy over there.

John took action without any hesitation.

"PetrificusTotalus"

The petrification curse had no effect on the black figure, and John cursed secretly.

Before the other party turned around, John cast a disillusionment spell on himself and hid around the corner.

He noticed that Mrs. Norris's body was stiff and gradually seemed to be petrified. John knew that this thing was very dangerous.

Drawing out Ironwick's sword, John attacked based on his senses.

"Broken to pieces! (Reducto)"

White light hit the wall.
