After shaking hands, Anna and Mark established a revolutionary friendship. They were now comrades with a common goal.
The two of them suddenly felt much closer.
Mark thoughtfully packed a lot of supper for Anna, and even brought her a bowl of fish soup.
"No, Mark. I really can't eat anymore …"
"This is boneless fish soup. It's a treasure in the Black Lake. I caught it to take care of Professor Kowalski!" Mark said as he handed her the soup. "It's very precious!"
"Then I'll have another bowl …" Anna took the fish soup from Mark's hand. She opened her mouth, raised her head, and drank it all in one go.
A cool feeling bloomed on the tip of her tongue. Perhaps it was because of the mint added to the soup, but after the cool feeling, there was a unique taste of boneless fish. It was similar to sashimi with wasabi, but it wasn't too stimulating. Instead, it made people want to take a few more bites.
"Mm!
Not bad! "
Anna praised. If she were to participate in Hell's Kitchen, perhaps Gordon Ramsay would have to say a few more words that started with the word 'F'.
Of course, it would be something like 'Fantasy'.
It was not good to eat too much at night. Anna guessed that Watt had already left the stairs. She decided to escape from the kitchen and quickly return to her dorm.
She put the toilet bowl back on her arm, picked up the cockroach, and picked up the huge food package. It was filled with Mark's enthusiasm.
Anna didn't struggle at all. This was all thanks to the system's enhanced strength.
"Let's go this way," Mark said as he led Anna to the fruit hanging painting.
"You can go out from here. If you want to come in next time, you can scratch the pear hanging outside."
"Goodnight, Mark," Anna smiled at Mark.
"Goodnight," Mark smiled back.
Compared to Lohat's professional fake smile, Mark's smile wasn't very nice. However, it was simple and genuine. It was the smile of a laborer.
Anna thought as she walked through the hanging painting and returned to the corridor on the second floor of the basement. Next to her was the bucket door of Hufflepuff's lounge.
No wonder he couldn't find this painting back then. It turned out that he had gone in the wrong direction.
Anna went to the stairs and stuck her head out to see that Watt had already left. It was curfew time and he was still outside. This could be considered Anna's first night outing in Hogwarts.
Just as she was about to go down the stairs and return to her dorm, Anna suddenly remembered that she still had a deep question to answer.
Walking along the right corridor, Anna returned to the painting that led to Hufflepuff's secret room. When the two-headed cat saw Anna, it stood up excitedly.
"You're back!" the two-headed cat shouted excitedly. "So, have you thought of an answer?" It seemed that it really wanted to know the answer.
"Yes." Anna looked at the two pieces of red velvet cake in the painting and found that the sweater knitting woman was also staring at her. "The three girls want to escape, right?
And now they have two pieces of poison cake that will kill them if eaten together? "
"You mean..." the two-headed cat was confused.
"What I mean is," Anna cleared her throat. "You can think of a way to make the witch eat two pieces of red velvet cake and then kill her. In this way, you can eat her food and get all of her magic wool."
The sweater woman and the two-headed cat were silent.
"But won't we become cats forever?!" the two-headed cat reacted, its two heads bumped together and asked.
"It's temporary." Anna paused for a moment. "There are many ways to break the spell. I personally recommend going to Gringotts to borrow the waterfall to take a bath."
The sweater woman, who had been silent, finally opened her mouth. Her voice was very warm. "Interesting idea, but unfortunately, eating two pieces of cake together will not lead to death."
Anna glanced at the skull in the painting.
Noticing Anna's gaze, the sweater woman smiled. "Eating two pieces of cake together will not lead to death, but people who are found to have the idea of eating two pieces of cake together will be murdered by their companions."
"This skull was left behind by the three-headed cat. The two heads joined forces and killed the third head, because they found that the third head wanted to eat two pieces of cake alone."
The sweater woman bent down to pick up the skull on the ground. Tears could be seen flowing down the skull's eyes.
The two-headed cat's tail was impatiently sweeping. "She is too greedy," one of the heads said. "Selfish and stupid," the other head added.
"We have no other way," the two heads said at the same time.
"Eat together, or don't eat at all. Sacrifice yourself for others." The sweater woman put the skull back into the pile of wool and took out a roll of wool instead. "I just want to teach you a lesson. I don't want to take anyone's life."
She threw the wool to Anna. Unexpectedly, the unsightly wool really came out of the painting and was caught by Anna.
"What is this?" Anna did not expect to get an unexpected reward. She was happy.
"Magic wool." The sweater woman smiled. "If used with love, it can create magical fabrics."
"It always brings surprises when you least expect it." The sweater woman winked and stood up from the chair. With a wave of her wand, she put away the basket with the skull on the ground.
She looked at Anna again. "Your answer is very interesting. This is my gift to you. After so many years, I can finally leave this painting."
Anna raised her eyebrows. "Why?"
"Because the last person who entered this door suggested that we kill the other head, and we did." The two-headed cat jumped to the ground. "And you suggested that we kill the witch …"
"The content of the painting will change." One of the cat heads rolled her eyes. "The witch in the painting will disappear, and the annoying guy we killed will come back soon."
Seeing Anna frown, the sweater woman laughed. "Child, if you were one of the three girls who were caught, then your choice would let you and your companions leave safely."
The sweater woman picked up the two pieces of red velvet cake on the plate and ate them. "As I said," she licked her fingers. "Those two pieces of cake are not poisonous."
The sweater woman disappeared from the painting. The two-headed cat wagged his tail and jumped on the chair. As if he could not see Anna, he curled up and fell asleep.
Anna finally returned to the lounge. It was three o'clock in the morning. Slytherin's lounge was quiet, and Mr. Slytherin, who was in the painting, was nowhere to be seen. Anna did not know where he went to have fun.
Passing through the curtain, she returned to the dormitory. Belinda had already fallen asleep and was snoring softly. Anna threw the toilet lid on the ground, piled the cockroach given by Headmaster Dumbledore on the bedside table, threw the wool under the bed, and put the large pile of food given by Mark in a corner.
Anna was so tired that she did not even want to change out of her pajamas. She wanted to fall asleep as soon as her head touched the quilt. She tried again and again to take out her expensive wand and put it aside to avoid crushing it while sleeping.
But she did not succeed. As soon as she took out her wand, Anna fell asleep. The last thing she thought was, "Where did the little wizard of Gryffindor get so much energy to go on a night trip?"
