There was silence in the air.
"Ha... Haha... How could that be..." Anna scratched her head. "I guess Myrtle didn't mean it that way..."
"I don't think so either." Snape shook his wrinkled cloak and stared at Anna with narrowed eyes. He raised his hand. "Study, study, stay focused." He glanced at the twins. "Don't mess around with Gryffindor's people."
George and Fred shrugged at the same time. They didn't take it to heart at all.
Snape paused for a moment. "You guys came to Hogwarts to study, not to guess the thoughts of ghosts."
"Of course." He glanced at the Weasley twins again. "Some people might not come to Hogwarts to study profound and life-changing knowledge... They just want to get a degree in magic."
"It's like boiling the 'Widow's Toadstool' in a pot. The spots disappear and it looks normal, but it can't change its toxicity. In fact, it makes it more poisonous. It confuses people and makes it impossible to guard against."
What a wonderful metaphor.
Anna was a little disappointed. It seemed that Myrtle's wish would be fulfilled with more effort. Professor Snape had never been a straightforward person.
"Uh... Professor Snape, we'll go and study now..." Seeing that she couldn't get any answers from him, Anna prepared to leave.
Just as the few of them were about to 'escape', Snape coughed. "I don't mind there being a spirit in an abandoned female toilet, this is logical." He threw down this sentence, flung his cloak and left calmly.
So, he should be treating Myrtle as a friend, right?
Anna scratched her head again.

"Phew …" Belinda breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced at the sweet duck in Anna's hand and touched her belly. "So many things have happened today. If it weren't for you carrying the bag of 'sweet duck', I would have forgotten that we were going out to eat sweet duck."
"Enjoy the weekend." Anna shook the bag of sweet duck. They found a secluded empty classroom and prepared to share it.
"Creak …" Fred opened a wooden door.
"Headless Nick said that this abandoned classroom is rarely occupied." George's eyes were glued to the sweet duck. It seemed that he could not wait to quack. "It's very suitable for a gathering of spirits."
"It's also very suitable for hiding from Felcs during night travel …" Fred's voice paused.
"Wow!" He and George exclaimed 'maliciously' at the same time.
Anna poked her head out curiously.
Wow!
The red-haired Weasley's third son, Percy, was sitting by the window with a beautiful girl with long curly hair. There were two thick magic books on the wooden desk. They looked like they were studying.
"We're studying!"
Percy, who was sitting on the outside, was startled by the sudden opening of the door. When he saw the 'maliciously' twins, he stood up and knew that something was wrong.
The girl in a blue patterned robe sitting next to him was very calm. She looked at the two red-haired boys at the door, turned her head and smiled at Percy. "Percy, do you know each other?"
"I don't really want to know each other." Percy scratched the back of his head. "Well … these two … are Gryffindor's … live in my house … we've known each other since we were children …"
"In short, we're his friendliest brothers." Fred and George walked to Percy and stood on his left and right. "Are you Percy's girlfriend?"
"What?
She's not! "
Percy said loudly. His face began to turn as red as his hair. He added in a low voice, "Not yet …"
He reminded the girl, "Penello, don't talk to them, and don't look at them. They're always up to mischief!
Maybe there'll be a toad jumping on your hair in the next second! "
Percy glared at the twins and tidied up the things on the table in embarrassment. "Can you not do nothing all day and disturb other people's studies —"
"Who says we're doing nothing?" George shrugged.
"We just rescued a lady from the grave of marriage. She looks very young now —" Fred added. "And she may become our new potion professor!"
The girl called Penello smiled kindly. "You're funny." She glanced at the helpless Percy and seemed to be happy to see such a 'lively' expression on Percy's face. "I'm Penello Cleavage, a Ravenclaw."
"I'm George Weasley." George patted Fred on the shoulder. "This is Fred." He turned sideways to show the two people behind him. "Our friends, Anna and Belinda."
"Anna?
The 'Incredible Anna Lawrence' of Slytherin Academy? "
She didn't expect Penello to know her name … But what's with this strange title?
Anna was a little surprised. "My name is indeed Anna Lawrence." What's going on?
She decided to return the favor. "You're the 'Amazingly Beautiful Penello Cleavage' of Ravenclaw Academy?"
"Hahahaha … You're amazingly beautiful too, Anna. I'm not as famous as you are." Penello praised sincerely. "The Incredible Anna Lawrence, you've earned nearly 20 points for the academy in your first week —"
"If only you're a Ravenclaw." Penello smiled bitterly. "I heard from the headmaster that we haven't won the School Championship for several years …"
"We didn't even get second place last semester. I couldn't lift my spirits when I thought about it when I was reading during the summer vacation."
"What book did you read during the summer vacation at home?" Percy suddenly joined the conversation.
"'Merfolk: A Comprehensive Guide to Language and Customs.'" Penello liked this topic. "It was written by Dylan Marwood. He's a very magical wizard. He's proficient in the merfolk language, fairy language, and ancient fairy language." Her eyes lit up.
"There's also 'The Magical Aquatic Plants of the Mediterranean and Their Characteristics.' Some magical plants even have a part of self-consciousness. I'm very interested!"
Percy frowned slightly. "It sounds good."
It's as' interesting 'as the' self-stirring crucible. '
