Chapter 11

On Hogsmeade Day, Narcissa went out with several Slytherins and ran to the third floor again to look for the statue.

"Left-right separation."

This time she quickened her pace, without looking left or right, and kept walking quickly, much faster than last time.

When they got there, Peggy was already there. She didn't wear the black robe today, but a white one. She wasn't particularly surprised to see Ayala, and even smiled at her.

"Would you like to offer a flower?"

She took one of the two flowers in her hand and handed it to Ayala, who took it.

"Thanks."

“It should be.”

After she put down the flowers, Ayala came forward and put down his flowers as well.

"Are your relatives in this tomb?"

Peggy glanced at her and shook her head.

"It's someone you don't want to know."

She was a little confused about what this meant, and then Peggy said something that made her even more confused.

"One day you'll know."

She found a random place to sit down, and Ayala sat down next to her.

"I think you know me."

"Indeed, I know you."

"…Can you tell me about me?"

She looked into her eyes and stared for a long time before speaking.

"Didn't Isabel tell you?"

"No."

Peggy closed her eyes. Although her expression was calm, her sadness was self-evident.

"Can I come to your house?"

The woman in front of her decisively rejected her.

"You can't go there. If you go there, you will lose everything and become your original self."

Is it really that serious? The woman hugged her knees with her arms, buried her face in them, and said something else.

"You should go."

Indeed, it was time for her to leave, and it would take some time for her to return.

"goodbye."

Except for the History of Magic, which gave her a headache, she only had to listen to the lectures in other subjects, which Narcissa was very envious of.

During the long study, Halloween arrived.

The Halloween dinner was something that many people looked forward to, and Narcissa had been planning to go with her, but Ayala had to take a shower, so he went to the Great Hall without waiting for her.

As she packed her clothes and prepared to go to the auditorium, Ayala encountered a major bad luck.

A female ghost, wearing a beautiful long dress, but the bad thing was that she was coming straight towards her.

"Great! I finally see a living person! Come with me."

Ayala froze in his tracks, but at her urging, he had no choice but to move over.

The ghost took her to the end of the corridor.

"Can you open the door to this room for me?"

She looked at the door in front of her in silence for a while, then turned around and asked sincerely.

"Aren't you a ghost? You should be able to walk right through this door."

"There are several doors in Hogwarts that ghosts cannot pass through. Help me, I can give you something."

...The door was opened with an unlocking spell. The ghost looked very happy. She floated in and floated out after a while with a few things in her hand.

"There's a small ball on the table inside. It has a button. Press it to fire a protective spell. Take it with you."

"……Thanks."

There was indeed a small ball on the first table. It looked quite ordinary, nothing special. But when he looked closely, he found a small blue button. Ayala put the ball into his robe.

When she arrived at the Great Hall, the dinner was already halfway through. When Narcissa saw her, she immediately started asking a lot of questions, starting with the first one.

"Where have you been?"

"A ghost stopped me and asked me to open the door for her. It took me a long time to come back."

"Why would you help a ghost?"

"There's nothing I can do. She's in such a hurry, I can only go with her."

The food was almost gone, but luckily Narcissa had left some for her. She ate while listening to Narcissa and a few girls discussing gossip about Hogwarts.

After Halloween, the most anticipated game, Quidditch, began. The Slytherin team had a new captain, whom she didn't recognize.

This captain is the Seeker and has caught many Golden Snitches for Slytherin. She doesn't care much about Slytherin's wins or losses, she just accompanies Narcissa.

Gryffindor Narcissa's cousin Sirius Black and James Potter joined the team. According to Narcissa, Sirius is very good at Quidditch.

She understood the meaning of this sentence during the first match between Hufflepuff and Gryffindor. Potter was better than Black.

Gryffindor successfully won the game against Hufflepuff, and Slytherin played against Ravenclaw. She couldn't understand the game, but in the end the Slytherin captain caught the Golden Snitch and Slytherin won.

This is unfortunate news because it means that Slytherin and Gryffindor are facing off. The match between Gryffindor and Slytherin can no longer be called a match. For other colleges, they still call it a match, but when these two colleges face off, it is called a fight to the death.

Slytherin had won the Quidditch Cup for several years in a row, and she had thought it would be the same this year, but Potter and Black ended the honor and Gryffindor won.
