After a while, he heard Harry and Ron, two brothers in distress, chatting outside.
Then, they knocked on the doors of the compartment where Cyrus and Hermione were respectively: "Hurry up, we have to go..."
A shrill voice answered him: "I-I really don't want to come out. You guys go by yourselves."
"Hermione, we know Millicent is ugly, no one would know it was you."
"No—really no—I don't think I can come. You two should do something, you are wasting time."
Harry looked at Ron, his face confused, which made him look even more like Goyle.
"Well, at least we still have Ginny - Malfoy?" Ron's last word was still stuck in his throat when he saw a figure that almost scared him to death.
How did Draco Malfoy end up here?
The plan was exposed? But Harry soon discovered that the Malfoy in front of him was wearing Gryffindor's school uniform.
"You're Ginny?"
Cyrus nodded.
Ron finally reacted. He looked at Ginny with a ridiculous expression. He couldn't believe that Ginny, who had been so reliable since the beginning of the school year, had actually let him down. "But how can you question Malfoy in front of him?"
"You're right, so I can't go." Cyrus pretended to be helpless with Malfoy's face, which made Harry want to punch him twice.
"Sorry Ginny, you look really annoying."
"Thank you, you look stupid too - it's almost time, the potion Hermione prepared doesn't last long, you must hurry!" Cyrus rolled his eyes and said immediately.
After sending Harry away, Cyrus said, "Hermione, wait here for me. I think I can go somewhere else to get some information in the guise of Malfoy."
"Okay, go ahead." Hermione wished he would leave quickly.
Cyrus had no intention of changing his clothes. With a flick of his wand, his robes turned green. Then, he walked out quickly and headed towards the Owl Shed without hesitation.
"I solemnly swear that I will do no good."
Many marks immediately appeared on the blank parchment: "Dumbledore is in the headmaster's office, and the other professors are in their respective offices. There is a man in the Owl House - Malfoy, why is he in the Owl House? Very good, leave."
Cyrus was startled, but he noticed that Malfoy did not stay there for long and left immediately.
He immediately cast an Disillusionment Charm on himself and headed in the direction Malfoy had taken when he came down the stairs.
Malfoy was walking while looking down at a letter. It was probably a gift sent to him by Narcissa or Lucius. Usually these would be delivered directly to his dormitory by the house-elves, but maybe the situation in the Malfoy family was special recently, and Arthur Weasley was trying to deal with them.
After reading the letter, he opened a newspaper, and Malfoy's face immediately became happy.
Cyrus glanced over and noticed that it was reported that Ron and Harry had driven to school and that Arthur Weasley had been punished for it. Apparently, Lucius had put a little pressure on this as well so that Mr. Weasley would not have the energy to cause trouble for him.
After passing Malfoy, Cyrus continued to walk upstairs and soon reached the tower.
There are very few owls in the tower, almost all of them are public owls raised by the school.
Cyrus took out the letter he had prepared in advance, found Draco Malfoy's owl, and released it. The owl did not realize that the person in front of it was not its real owner.
Looking at the owl spreading its wings in the wind and snow, Cyrus couldn't help but curl his lips.
"Malfoy is not the heir!"
"So we've worked in vain?"
"Not a complete waste of time, at least," Ron panted, turning back to close the bathroom door. "I know we still haven't worked out who's behind these attacks, but I'm going to write to Dad tomorrow and ask him to search under the Malfoys' living room."
Ron knocked hard on the door of Hermione's room.
"Hermione, come out, we have a lot to tell you--"
"Go away!" shrieked Hermione.
"What's going on?" said Ron. "You must be back to normal by now. Let's..."
Suddenly, Moaning Myrtle flashed out from the crack of the door of the single room. She looked very happy, as if she had encountered some great joy.
"Oh, wait and see," she said, "it's horrible!"
They heard the lock slide open and Hermione appeared, sobbing, her face covered in black hair, her eyes had turned yellow, and two long pointy ears protruded from her hair.
"It's a cat's hair!" she cried miserably. "M-Millicent must have a cat! But this decoction ain't for transfiguring animals!"
"What bad luck," said Ron, but the corners of his mouth curled up, as if he had awakened some strange XP.
"You'll be laughed at to no end," said Myrtle cheerfully.
"It's okay, Hermione." Cyrus also thought that Hermione looked quite cute. It was rare to see a living Fury. However, seeing that Hermione was so sad, he still gave an idea. "We will send you to the hospital. Madam Pomfrey never asks too many questions..."
It took them a long time to persuade Hermione to leave the bathroom, but Moaning Myrtle's raucous laughter of delight quickened their pace.
"Just wait, everyone will find out you have a tail!"
"Don't worry, there are actually too many precedents like yours. They can be cured as long as we don't hand you over to Lockhart." Cyrus said, almost making Ron laugh.
After sending Hermione to the school hospital, Cyrus planned to return the body to Ginny first. The high-intensity possession during this period made Ginny's physical condition a little worse, so it would be better to let her rest during the Christmas holiday.
Cyrus picked out some things to tell Ginny so that she wouldn't be caught dead.
"So, Malfoy is not the heir, and our clues are broken again?" Ginny summarized the progress of "Mr. Riddle" during this period. It can be said that it was almost in vain.
"It wasn't all in vain. At least Ron discovered something about the Malfoy family, and I discovered that your brother Percy was dating the Ravenclaw prefect in the girls' bathroom."
"Well, don't worry, I believe things will get better." Ginny comforted.
However, the accident still happened.
After the Christmas holiday, Cyrus suddenly found that he could not contact Ginny.
The person who opened the diary became another person.
