Chapter 198: Being covered up
It’s not so scary to return again.
The basilisk and Professor Snape were at the bottom of the chamber, as was Percy.
The next step is to execute the basilisk, cut the materials, and bring them up. As for what benefits Andrew and Percy can get, it depends on the reward Professor Snape gives to the coolie.
But there is a high probability of getting nothing - but Andrew can still get what Dumbledore promised during the last diary incident.
But during the descent, Andrew was surprised to find that Myrtle was stuck.
Yes.
Not long after going down, Myrtle got stuck and couldn't move, and she was still muttering, "Damn it, I can't go..."
Andrew didn't think about it until he slipped - the ghost could only linger in the place where he had been during his lifetime, because it was imprinted with the occult meaning!
She has never been to the secret room, so she cannot go to the secret room to witness revenge.
He returned immediately, and then trotted all the way to discuss with her - the final result of the discussion was that it would be good to look at the snake skin and disassembled bones, and it would be better if a snake head could be sent.
Andrew ran down again to discuss with Professor Snape, who had been waiting impatiently.
Fortunately, Professor Snape had already become impatient. With a wave of his wand, the basilisk's heart was struck hard, and then divided with great skill.
Complete snake skin, two precious eyes, various internal organs - Andrew even suspected that even the excrement was well separated and preserved.
In the end, even the snake's blood was completely preserved, leaving only an empty skull - even the brain was torn apart by the spell.
Andrew and Percy finally got a large piece of snake meat each and were driven away. Fortunately, Professor Snape probably felt that it was too much. "I will give you two a potion made of snake bones. Go find it." That ghost."
…
"Approximately how much does yours weigh?"
"A little over two pounds?"
"Almost the same."
"Do you know any Hufflepuff masters?"
"Do you still need to look for it? Nazarov, he complains a lot. Looking at his craftsmanship, I always feel that he can't handle it without superb food magic."
"Okay, I'll go find Myrtle, and you can take her to Nazarov."
"Can you bring someone else? Just one!"
…
Don't you care about your younger siblings? Okay...
Andrew nodded and Percy smiled happily.
——
"This is a snake skin. Professor Snape lent it to me temporarily. This is its head."
Andrew showed the huge skull to Myrtle, "Professor Snape promised that you can do anything with the snake skull, and he decided to give it to you."
"Hmm...it does look very similar...probably, I was killed by it."
Myrtle sighed, "Probably, that noisy student just called it over, and then... I was about to scold him, and then he died."
"You didn't even see the boy?"
"No, it just floated out, and then came back after I don't know how long. Then I waited and waited until I saw Olive Humbe appear, haha, her expression was really, really funny. .
Myrtle looked indifferent, "She laughed at me for looking like a four-eyed dog, and then she was frightened. It was really funny..."
…
Such deep hatred and resentment?
But…
Andrew finally thought of a question.
"Why did you pursue her after graduation?"
"That's it!"
"What about your family?"
"Well, after taking away my body, I stopped contacting the magic world, and they were unwilling to acknowledge me... I didn't care too much... Well, that should be it, right?"...
Muggles cannot see ghosts... In most cases, squibs and some special Muggles can, as can some phenomena caused by ghosts.
The books in the forbidden book area gave Andrew great support in this regard. After all, ghosts are forms that cannot be bypassed by transfiguration.
An invisible and inaudible being talking to myself... It's really...
Andrew sighed.
"Second to last question, are you a Muggle-born?"
"Of course," Myrtle said angrily, "I am a Muggle-born. What's wrong? Isn't that why they laugh at me and exclude me?"
…
"Where's Olive Humbe? How is she?"
"Of course he is a wizard."
…
How could a Muggle-born wizard ghost approach a wizard's wedding and make a scene?
How can a ghost who can only leave a mark after death break through the limitations of the mark that cannot be broken now?
There is only one possibility.
Andrew sighed.
Myrtle had been there. She had been to where Olive Humbey worked so she could cause trouble when Olive Humbey was working. She had been to Olive Humbey's house so she could go there when Olive Humbey's brother got married. make trouble.
He did not rule out the possibility that Olive Humbe's brother was not a wizard, but compared to the fact that the two grew up together, lived in overlapping areas and both entered Hogwarts, it was more likely that they had visited each other.
Hagrid was expelled because of Myrtle, because Myrtle died - and Hagrid might even have gone to Azkaban if Dumbledore hadn't been a surety.
And Andrew also knew that Hagrid was framed at the time - so there must be an investigation.
He didn't even cooperate well with the investigation and only wanted to torture Olive Humbe to death.
But I just went to her home and her place of work.
Plastic sisters blossom and tear?
Someone betrayed friendship?
Or was it because of the atmosphere at the time?
Unknown...Olive Humbert has sought asylum from the Ministry of Magic, and he has tried his best to reconcile if he wanted to.
Myrtle is not willing to reconcile...
Slightly older than Professor McGonagall, Olive Humbey is presumably still alive.
The knot in her heart will probably have to wait until Olive Humbe dies to remove it, taking the final step towards becoming a ghost, right?
‘Do you want to write a letter? ’
'Forget it, maybe Olive Humbey is just torturing Myrtle, and besides, I can't do this kind of thing in anyone's name...'
Unable to reconcile or persuade him to leave, because a small possibility might disturb another person's peaceful life, Andrew finally shook his head.
The two of them might never have contact with each other, they might quarrel a lot, apologize to each other and forgive each other, or they might continue to fight many years later. It was possible, but all possibilities were wiped out - Andrew was unable to do anything, except for one thing.
"I'll kill that Tom."
"Who is Tom?"
"Another murderer."
"Okay, come on then."
Myrtle touched the snake's skull and tried to look happy.
"It will definitely happen. It won't take long."
Andrew nodded, looking serious.
Mediation or something like that is really beyond his ability, he is not good at it.
But, well…
He touched the wand, and a wave of heat flashed through this reliable friend, 'I am still a little sure of killing the real murderer and taking revenge...'
