As autumn approaches, Hogwarts is surrounded by cold and damp mountain winds all day long. Coupled with the unpredictable thunderstorm weather, the crackling raindrops hit the doors and windows at night, causing Astoria to fall asleep. No sleep.

The castle was surrounded by illnesses brought about by the change of seasons. The inexplicable flu spread among classmates, especially children like Astoria who were weak all year round. These days, they were tired and lethargic all day long, and their body temperature fluctuated. .

"Ahem, here you go." Draco's Quidditch team was training in this rainy weather and it was inevitable that they would get cold, so he grabbed an extra cold and fever medicine from Madam Pomfrey. The pepper potion was given to Astoria.

Draco looked like he was coughing a few days ago, but now he looked as normal and became much more energetic.

It seems that the product produced by Madam Pomfrey must be a high-quality product!

"Thank you." Astoria smiled obediently at Draco, and then she was about to open the test tube and drink the potion, but was suddenly stopped by Draco grabbing her arm.

"Wait, you should wait until you get back to the dormitory and no one will drink again!" Draco's words were strange, and his face seemed to be embarrassed and uncomfortable.

But Astoria has never been a rebellious person, not to mention that Draco got the potion for herself. She nodded and quickly put the potion back into the inner pocket of her school robe without drinking it.

"Hahaha, it's a good thing you didn't drink in public, it's so funny!" Chloe laughed so hard that she almost fell off the bed. Rosa and Shiblank both took a few steps back and looked at the changes in Astoria in front of them, holding back their laughter.

At the window sill, Astoria, who had finished drinking the chili potion, was looking around with a confused face, raising her head and shaking her head. At this moment, the steaming white smoke was rising through Astoria's golden hair and mouth and nose, drifting into nothing in the air.

The sight looked ridiculous, like buttered bread steaming in a steamer.

Well, in a sense, Draco stopping himself from drinking the potion in the lounge was really his savior...

Through the glass window, the bottomless color of the black lake darkened the window, allowing Astoria to see her funny changes very clearly.

"It seems that this potion is really effective. At least now my nose is not blocked and my temperature is much normal." Astoria touched her forehead with her hand and sighed slowly.

"Pfft, haha, indeed, if it gets worse, we'll ask Madam Pomfrey for a potion to try!"

"No, this... indecent image will never appear on me!" Shiblank frowned, stretched out his fingers to gesture at Astoria for a long time, and finally shook his head and firmly refused.

……

Astoria has been dreaming about some strange things recently. She is in a damp and cold cave. From time to time, there is the sound of dripping water droplets in the cave, accompanied by strange hissing sounds.

"Leah, Astoria!"

"Ha!" Astoria opened her eyes suddenly. She almost pushed the books on the desk to the ground uncontrollably. She looked around and realized that she was in the History of Magic classroom.

"It's really rare that you actually fell asleep in class. I wonder if Chloe and you have exchanged souls." Shiblank had a strange expression on his face, raising his eyebrows slightly and looking at Astoria. He looked back and forth at Chloe who was dozing next to her.

"Stop teasing me, I've been having a nervous breakdown from nightmares every day lately..." Astoria yawned and complained helplessly, shaking her head.

Soon, after packing up their books, the four of them planned to go to the auditorium to have lunch together.

Today's auditorium is different from before. The entire auditorium is surrounded by groups of white ghosts. They look solemn. Each one - no, every ghost holds a white candle in his hand, and the weak candle on it flickers. , looks extremely weird.

"OMG! Is this some kind of prank?" Rosa's entire face turned pale with fright. Although she had seen ghosts before, this was the first time she had witnessed this grand scene of so many groups of ghosts with heavy faces.

"I don't know if it's a prank, but maybe I'm not in a hurry to eat right now." The corners of Shiblank's mouth couldn't help but twitch, and he pulled on the hem of Chloe's clothes to back away.

"Wait a minute, we're not going to eat either." Seeing the food on the table becoming corroded and smelly wherever the ghosts crossed over, Rosa and Astoria couldn't stay any longer, and their whole faces wrinkled in disgust. Tuan, turned around and left behind the two of them.

"Kill~hiss...hiss...kill~" Hearing the voice that only appeared in nightmares, Astoria froze in place and felt a chill from head to toe. In an instant, the hairs on the back of her neck stood up uncontrollably, her pupils tightened, and she looked back fearfully, seeing only an empty corridor behind her.

"Leah, are you okay?" Seeing Astoria lagging behind them, looking frightened, I couldn't help but worry.

"Did you hear anything?" Astoria swallowed, raised her eyes and tentatively asked the three of them.

Rosa turned around and looked at each other with Siblank and Chloe. When their eyes crossed, the three of them shook their heads in confusion.

"Astoria, what did you hear?"

"It's nothing, maybe the ghost is playing tricks behind her back..." Astoria held on to calm down, a slightly tired smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Several people quickly left this corner, and at the same time, a little girl with red hair appeared here. Her eyes were distracted and she was obviously unconscious. As the flickering light of the torches on the wall shone on her body, she could clearly identify the red-haired girl as none other than Ginny Weasley.

Half an hour later, Astoria shouldered the heavy responsibility and planned to go to the kitchen to get some food to return to the lounge to share with her friends. After all, with the full schedule of classes in the afternoon, there was no chance to ask them to eat.

As soon as I stepped onto the second floor, I saw that the corner area in front was blocked by people, with chattering discussions and screams intertwined among them.

"Enemies of the heir, be careful! You will be next, Mudblood!" Draco's sharp and sarcastic voice seemed to come from the front of the crowd.

Astoria followed everyone's gaze and saw bright red blood written on the wall -

The mysterious secret room has been opened, and the successor is the enemy, beware!

And just above this writing, Mrs. Luo Lisi, covered in blood, was hanging stiffly on a high torch stand, her eyes dim, staring at the crowd inexplicably.

"what……"

Such a terrifying sight was rare. Astoria was subconsciously frightened and backed away, her face turned pale with fright, and her eyes were wide open with fear.

She froze in place, her fear preventing her from moving even a step, and her eyes could not help but stare into Mrs. Lollis's scary pupils.

But what frightened her was far more than just the petrification of Mrs. Lorris...

"...find me...Helena, find me...Helena..."

Her ears were suddenly penetrated by this hoarse and low call. For some reason, Astoria knew that it was a strange name, but she knew it was calling her...

At this moment, an open book was suddenly handed over to Astoria's side, covering her sight to isolate those terrifying things.

The refreshing fragrance of ink from the pages of the book lingered in her nose, and the comfortable breath gradually calmed down Astoria's nervous and frightened mood.

"Thanks……"

Her eyes were densely covered with neatly written notes on the pages of the book. Just as she was about to raise her eyes to say thank you, the book covered her forehead with force, completely blocking her vision and turning it completely black.

"Leah, are you okay?" A familiar voice came from in front of her, and then the thick book covering Astoria's face was taken away, and Draco's gray-blue eyes also came into view. eye.

"It's okay, this book..." Astoria pointed to the book in confusion, and saw Draco flipping through a few pages at random, frowning slightly, as if he had come to some conclusion.

"This boy, let me return it to him for you."

"Hmm..." Astoria nodded randomly and pushed the book into Draco's arms.

Forgive her for not being able to pay too much attention at this time. Her attention was really unable to focus on the eerie sound and the horrific and bloody petrification scene...

Suddenly, at the very back of the crowd, a red-haired girl with a nervous face and eyes wrapped in panic and guilt turned around and ran away holding a pure black diary.
