Hogwarts: Slytherin Kiss

Chapter 12 Birthday Myrtle

One night in March, during dinner time in the bustling auditorium, a snow-white owl suddenly flew in from outside, holding a package firmly in its talons.

Indra followed the sound and was surprised: "Harrican?" She stretched out her hand to catch the package and watched it fly away before looking at the package in her hand.

"What?" Malfoy asked, forking at the pizza on his plate.

"I don't know." Indra opened it slowly, "It must have been given by grandma."

Crabbe Goyle, who was at the same table, also looked over, probably expecting it to be filled with food.

Indra opened the tightly packed square box and found a chocolate steamed cake with happy birthday written on it in white cream, which had been cut into twelve pieces.

"Today is your birthday Indra!" Saina said in surprise.

Malfoy looked on without speaking.

Indra was speechless for a moment, "I forgot too. Who can remember what day it is today? There is no exam."

Indra divided the cake and received blessings from everyone.

When he returned to the lounge at night, Malfoy pulled Indra aside and said, "Come out quietly at night, after turning off the lights." Indra was stunned. "What are you doing out here? If you are caught not sleeping, you will lose points."

Malfoy clicked his tongue and raised his eyebrows lightly: "Just come out."

So at night, after a little struggle, Indra quietly got up from the bed and put on her black robe. When she passed by the desk, she looked at the slightly glowing silver lampstand and slipped out of the bedroom.

In the corner of the lounge, Indra saw Malfoy's blond hair, and he made a shushing gesture. His big gray-blue eyes were as easily identifiable as his hair at night.

Malfoy motioned for Indra to follow him, and then led her out of the basement to the foyer outside the auditorium, then through long corridors, then on the grass under the starry night, and finally climbed up to the tall astronomy tower.

Both of them were panting, and Indra asked intermittently, "Why...we...came so far...for?"

Malfoy had a mysterious smile on his lips. He stood in front of the semicircular castle on the wall under the dome, took out his wand and recited a spell, then pulled Indra and walked in, just like Platform Nine and Three Quarters. Block the wall.

His eyes dimmed, followed by bright starlight, and a galaxy appeared out of thin air above his head, seemingly within reach. Indra saw the Draco constellation, moving slightly and slowly.

"Wow..." Indra murmured

Malfoy was also surprised by this sight, and he immediately showed a proud smile, "My father told me this, happy birthday."

The two of them lay down and looked at the stars above their heads. There were even tiny starlights falling from above. Indra stretched out her hand to hold it in her hand and turned her head to smile at Draco.

At midnight, the two sneaked back the way they came, crossing the grass and entering the castle, following the shadows in the corridor walls. Mr. Filch's office was on the first floor and they had to be careful not to get caught by him.

"You should wear a hat next time you go out, because it's too eye-catching," Indra whispered.

Malfoy turned his head and glanced at Indra. Her black hair almost melted into the night, leaving only a frosty face and bright watery eyes.

He curled his lips unhappily, "Our whole family is blond."

The two of them suddenly noticed a large, skinny cat squatting on the protruding relief on one side of the corridor above their heads. Its long fur was always messy and knotted, and a pair of cold and strange big eyes were staring at them intently.

Mrs. Norris!

Malfoy and Indra trembled, stunned, and subconsciously grabbed each other's arms and squeezed together.

Good little kitten...

Indra murmured to herself and looked at Mrs. Norris, and tentatively pushed Malfoy a step forward. The shrill and sharp cat meow immediately resounded among the empty buildings, making people's ears hurt. . They immediately heard a burst of angry curses followed by a loud banging of the door being pushed open.

"Run! It's Filch!"

The two of them hurriedly ran back, turned up the nearest stairs, and then rushed down the corridor. The heavy footsteps behind them got closer and closer. Finally, they got into a women's bathroom in a hurry and went straight to the deepest part of the two rows of cubicles. They quickly opened the door and squeezed in, then closed the door and stepped on it. On the edge of the toilet without a toilet seat, hold the water tank with one hand and hold the other tightly with one hand to prevent it from falling. The two pale, young faces were reddish from excessive exercise, and their light brown and gray-blue eyes were like leaves in the wind. Any disturbance would affect their sight.

It was quiet in the dark and narrow space, and both of them felt that the temperature here was particularly cold, and it could penetrate into their skin through their robes embroidered with the Slytherin house emblem.

Heavy footsteps stopped at the door of the bathroom. After a slight click, the door creaked open and then lightly hit the wall. Indra and Malfoy were closer, but they could hardly feel each other's breathing, only the chest rising and falling secretly.

Filch's sharp eyes scanned the long-abandoned women's bathroom, very angry. He doesn't want to come to this unlucky place. It always adds burden to his work! He pushed open several compartments near the door one after another. When he opened the door of the third compartment, the toilet inside suddenly burst out like a spring of water, flowing out desperately and overflowing to the ground.

"Myrtle!" Mr. Filch looked like he was going to be dizzy with anger, and took a few steps back hastily. However, the ghost floating out of the toilet didn't care so much. She cried quietly, crying as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"Why... why do you still bother me... I'm already dead... Isn't this enough..."

"Get out of here! You cold-blooded executioners! Wuwuwu..."

Indra and Malfoy looked down at the water flowing into their compartments. Mr. Filch had already walked away and could not even hear his footsteps. There was only the gurgling and ticking sound of water in the bathroom, and even the ghost who had just been crying seemed to be gone.

"Come out...two Slytherin brats..." Youyou's gloomy thin voice sounded slowly.

Indra and Malfoy looked at each other, got off the toilet, and stepped into the thin water on the ground. Indra carefully opened the door and took a look. Standing in front of her was a short, fat ghost like a mist. She had brown twin tails, a pair of black round glasses, and was wearing Ravenclaws. Lao's clothes, his face can't be seen clearly, but his expression is sad and melancholy.

"Thank you...Myrtle," Indra said with a sigh of relief. This was a ghost she had never seen before. He didn't look very old. And why was he wearing Ravenclaw clothes? !

"Oh...you know my name" Myrtle said softly

"Yes...I just heard Mr. Filch call you that..." Indra explained to her with a friendly smile.

Malfoy squinted his eyes and looked around the ghost, wrinkled his nose and looked away in disgust, looking away impatiently. Myrtle cried out immediately, she was always sensitive to such looks.

"You hate me?! Yes... you all hate me. No one likes me at all... Fortunately, I just helped you get rid of Mr. Filch..."

Myrtle cried desperately again, louder and louder.

Indra immediately covered Malfoy who was about to speak, dragged him towards the door, and said to Myrtle apologetically, "No one hates you Myrtle! We're leaving first. Sorry! See you next time!"

Fortunately, there was no one outside the door. Indra slapped Malfoy, and he put his hands on his hips angrily. The two of them quickly ran back to the Slytherin lounge this time, and yawned profusely during class the next day.

The weather is getting warmer, which means that summer vacation is coming, but before the vacation, they need to pass a busy and rigorous exam. Out of fear of Professor Snape, the first subject they started reviewing was Potions, and the History of Magic was put to the end.

"Goblin rebellions were quite common in the 17th and 18th centuries...The goblin rebellion of 1612 occurred near the village of Hogsmeade..."

Malfoy sat on the bench and slowly recited the Goblin Rebellion part of the History of Magic. At this time, he looked absolutely well-behaved, beautiful and harmless, especially if Gryffindor people were often ridiculed and sarcastic. When the three Harry Potters saw it, they would definitely be shocked and suspected that they were bewitched. Indra sat opposite him with a book in her hand, looking at the pages with a quiet face. While she was giving Malfoy a backstroke, she practiced the transfiguration technique and changed the cups on the table.

"Can you please pay more attention?" Malfoy suddenly said dissatisfied, his attention was attracted by the cup on the table.

Indra looked at him and silently put away her wand, and the two of them continued to slap each other's backs.

The first final exam for the first-year students at Hogwarts was in full swing, followed immediately by the end-of-year dinner. When Indra sat at the long Slytherin table in the Great Hall, she felt like she was back at the Sorting Ceremony more than nine months ago. Slytherin has won the House Cup for seven consecutive years, and the decorations in the Great Hall are the iconic silver and green.

"I hope Slytherin can win the House Cup again this year," Draco said.

Indra "Of course, I hope so too"

But the final result was that Gryffindor was in the lead, Indra gritted her teeth, and Principal Dumbledore was obviously biased! Malfoy also froze and covered his face in disappointment. The cheers in the auditorium had nothing to do with Slytherin, and the atmosphere was as cold as Professor Snape's office.

After the test scores came in, leaving school was immediately on the agenda. Indra congratulated Hermione for finishing first in her year, with her name just below hers, second. Professor Snape even lightly mocked her for this!

Indra boarded the Hogwarts Express for the fourth time, and they said goodbye to each other again. The more than three-month long vacation had begun.
