Chapter 39 Complex men and women
Finally, when the last class was over, Lumi took the lead in arriving at Myrtle's bathroom.
Seeing Lumi's arrival, Myrtle, who had been crying, immediately put away her tears and did not even dare to make a sound.
Myrtle was in a panic.
God knows what cruel things Lumi's projection did to her when he appeared here this morning?
What is it like to be a ghost, being hung up and smoked?
No one knows.
For Myrtle, that was something more terrifying than death, so she wouldn't talk nonsense.
As far as Lumi is concerned, he has no idea what the projection does.
Lumi's projection is equivalent to dividing a part of his own magic power. This part of the magic power has partial self-awareness and is completely obedient to the original body.
So much so that the main body's order was to ask Myrtle what happened that year, and the projection asked a few questions in a good-natured manner at first.
After two sentences, Myrtle was still crying and couldn't ask for a single sentence of useful information.
At this time, the main body has not yet urged, but the projections are anxious.
So six or seven projections came to the women's bathroom and beat Myrtle up.
After all, ghosts are a combination of soul and magic power, so it is reasonable for a projection with part of Lumi's soul and magic power to attack ghosts.
Finally, Myrtle tried to run away, but a few projections tied her up.
At this point, she was still thinking about crying to avoid it.
When nothing could be done, the Lumis each took a whip and whipped them after asking.
As for the answer, is it correct?
That's something that should give the main body a headache.
They just need to pass everything Myrtle said to the main body, that's all.
So what Myrtle fears most now is not Slytherin's Bloody Barrow, but Lumi.
Lumi didn't know the specific details. He only knew that Myrtle was very cooperative with his questioning.
So when his eyes glanced at Myrtle hiding in the toilet seat, he decisively averted his eyes.
Who knows if ghosts like to be stared at all the time? Maybe it would be rude to Myrtle to be stared at all the time?
Lumi searched carefully in the women's bathroom, and finally found a small snake-shaped relief on the faucet of a certain sink.
"right here."
After finding the entrance to the secret room, Lumi waited for Draco's arrival.
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
"I just think there are some things that can be said in person without having to ask someone to deliver the message."
"Who do you think you are? Just a Muggleborn."
"I don't know who it is, but I pitifully asked Lumi to pass the message."
"You! What a Granger, you really deserve to be a dentist."
"That's called a dentist. Your ignorance really taught me a lesson."
Malfoy, who had platinum blond hair and was smeared with hair gel, and Hermione, who had chestnut shaggy hair and front teeth like rabbits, came to the women's bathroom together.
Lumi was a little surprised to see the two of them.
Draco was okay, Lumi patted him on the shoulder, and then turned his eyes to Hermione.
"I didn't expect you to come."
"The truth, I think it is necessary for Hagrid to clear his name."
Hermione's little eyes widened, as if she wanted to remember this.
"With all due respect, your memory cannot be used as evidence."
Draco laughed and handed the small crystal hanging on his body to Hermione.
“Inject magic and put it out there so everything around it gets recorded.”
"My father gave this to me to prevent anyone from bullying me."
Hearing this, Hermione suddenly felt the crystal in her hand getting warm.
"Forget it, let's give it back to you."
Hermione felt that the meaning of this thing was too precious, and there was no way to compensate if it got bumped.
And he didn't want to have more contact with Malfoy.
This time it was purely to help Lumi, not because of his apology.
Draco waved his hand.
"I have plenty of this at home. I'll just write to my dad later."
"Just keep it if I give it to you. It's not a precious thing."
"Just consider it an apology."
He said the last sentence in a very quiet voice.
Hermione's little ears twitched and she was able to hear a rough outline of this sentence.
"I accepted."
For Hermione, it didn't matter what Malfoy gave her, only his apologetic attitude mattered.
After letting Lumi take the lead, Hermione's unhappiness with Malfoy, a greasy boy, dissipated to a small extent.
Although he did curse a lot this morning on the Quidditch pitch.
Now, the unpleasantness has disappeared, but this guy's evil deeds last year still made her a little disgusted with him.
And what about Malfoy?
He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Hermione's answer.
I glanced at Lumi quietly and found that he didn't stop the two of them from bickering, and I was half relieved.
God knows how much he felt when he saw his best friend sitting with a Gryffindor in the morning.
Especially what he said to Hermione at the end.
Why do you owe her a favor?
My father once said that favor is the most magical thing.
Some favors will make people become best friends over and over again, while other favors will make them fall into eternal disaster.
Draco didn't dare to bet. What if Lumi became good friends with Gryffindor Hermione?
Do you want to get along with good friends of good friends?
But that's Gryffindor!
Feeling aggrieved, he called Hermione a Mudblood when she attacked him.
It means a person with the dirtiest blood. This sentence is the dirtiest word in the magic world.
She seemed to be crying at that time, right?
Damn it, the noble Malfoy actually made a lady cry. This, this, this, this, should not be done.
But she's a Mudblood, so she can't be considered a lady.
But Lumi is also half-blood, he's my best friend, but that guy Hermione's blood...
Draco was still struggling with this matter until class in the morning.
It wasn't until he heard Lumi's appeal that he suddenly realized.
Bloodline be damned!
Friends are the most important!
At that time, Draco was still a little embarrassed and only dared to let Lumi convey his apology.
But he really didn't expect that Hermione would come to him because of those words. He had been calling her a Muggleborn all the way.
As for that dirty word, Draco didn't want to use it anymore.
[I don’t know if she is angry or not. 】
[If you do this, Lumi won’t be angry with me...]
[After all, my relationship with Hermione has eased. I can’t be friends with her. She is from Weasley’s side...]
Draco's expression changed several times.
"Draco, right here, use your own money to get out of the hole."
Lumi pointed to the faucet.
Hearing this, Draco's expression returned to normal.
Business matters.
He glanced at Hermione cautiously and found that Hermione's attention was not on him, but was concentrating on playing with the crystal.
He breathed out and raised his wand to the faucet.
"Oolong comes out of the hole!"
As a burst of black smoke dissipated, a dark snake appeared here.
"Talk to me!"
Draco struggled to control his wand, hoping to make the black snake listen to him.
Even if you don't speak, just hiss.
