Harry originally thought that Tao Jin'niang would be very sensitive about this topic, and it would take a while to make up with her.
However, unexpectedly, Tao Jin'niang suddenly changed her expression.
"Oh, I was just trying to scare you just now."
Tao Jin'niang spun in the air, giggling as if she was very pleased.
"If you want to ask how I died..."
Her demeanor suddenly changed, as if she was honored to be asked this question—
"Alright, since you sincerely want to know, I'll tell you… It was quite scary, actually."
At this point, Tao Jin'niang suddenly paused.
The empathetic Harry knew he had to play along, so he pretended to be nervous and asked, "How scary?"
Tao Jin'niang was extremely satisfied to see Harry's reaction.
She giggled twice, cleared her throat, and solemnly said, "Actually, the scary thing happened in the girls' bathroom, I died right in that toilet—I remember it very clearly."
Tao Jin'niang wore a reminiscent expression: "At that time, my classmate… Oliver Hongbei from Ravenclaw laughed at me for wearing glasses and looking like a four-eyed dog, so I hid here—I locked the door and cried inside, suddenly I heard someone come in, they were speaking in a funny way, I thought it must be another language—But what annoyed me the most was hearing a boy's voice."
"So I opened the door and shouted at him to go away and use the boys' bathroom, and then—"
Tao Jin'niang puffed out her chest proudly, with a radiant face, "I died."
"Can you tell me the details?" Harry pursued.
"I don't know," Tao Jin'niang said mysteriously in a low voice, "I just remember seeing a pair of frighteningly large yellow eyes, my whole body seemed to be lifted, and then I drifted away..."
She looked at Harry in a daze: "Later I came back, you know, I wholeheartedly wanted to settle the score with Oliver Hongbei… Oh, she regretted ridiculing my glasses very much."
"She didn't regret ridiculing your glasses, it was just because you could haunt her after death, and she could do nothing about it, only compromise out of helplessness," Harry critiqued sharply, "Trust me, if you had just died, she would have laughed more than anyone."
"Uh—she wouldn't, right?" Tao Jin'niang asked hesitantly, "After all, we are both Ravenclaws..."
"Oh, come on," Harry scoffed, "Like you aren't a Ravenclaw too."
"Oh..." Tao Jin'niang said, enlightened, "Then I think I should look for her to settle it again..."
"It's over, she may have died long ago," Harry sighed, "Do you remember where you saw those eyes?"
"If you want to know, I can take you to see," Tao Jin'niang said mysteriously, "Come on, big sister will show you, to the girls' bathroom..."
As she spoke, Tao Jin'niang leaned her face close to Harry's, who could even see the clear acne on the ghost's face.
"Why do I feel like you aren't a good person?" Harry displayed a complicated expression.
"Listen to you," Tao Jin'niang huffed, "You talk like that and I'm not happy!"
"But, we need to hurry," Harry said to Tao Jin'niang, "Let's go, you lead the way and show me where it is exactly."
"Okay." Tao Jin'niang finished speaking and floated up effortlessly.
"But I suggest you keep a low profile, don't let anyone see us," Harry reminded Tao Jin'niang.
Tao Jin'niang looked at him confusedly, not understanding why Harry would say so.
"Why? Do you think being with Tao Jin'niang is embarrassing?" Tao Jin'niang said angrily: "Fine, I knew you didn't like..."
Harry quickly interrupted her.
"No, you misunderstood," he spoke quickly, "I suspect that the person who attacked you has returned to Hogwarts, I just don't want him to find out about this."
"Oh, it's too late," Tao Jin'niang said leisurely, "We were spotted on our way here, I'm sure the whole school knows by now—"
"Then we still have some time, so we have to be quick," Harry said to Tao Jin'niang, "You lead the way in the front, I'll follow using the Disillusionment Charm."
Tao Jin'niang floated up and down, looked at Harry's expression, saw he wasn't joking, and said leisurely, "Well then, I can't believe a second-year student can use the Disillusionment Charm… So, I will wait for your esteemed presence in the bathroom."
After saying this, Tao Jin'niang leapt back, like swimming backstroke, and floated out of the classroom.
Harry cast a Disillusionment Charm on himself and followed in Tao Jin'niang's footsteps, arriving one after the other in the bathroom.
The second-floor girls' bathroom was not frequently used; only when Tao Jin'niang offended someone did they come here to flush her into the Black Lake while she wasn't paying attention.
After entering the bathroom, he lifted the Disillusionment Charm, startling Tao Jin'niang with his sudden appearance.
Harry found it amusing, this was the first time he saw someone scare a ghost—it was usually the ghosts scaring people.
"Oh, you did come," Tao Jin'niang said with a giggle, pointing to the sink beside her, "Here it is, if I remember correctly, anyway, this area has no problem."
Harry walked over to the sink to take a closer look.
The sink looked ordinary, just like any other regular sink.
