They followed Myrtle and walked quickly towards the girl's bathroom. The only benefit was that the library and the bathroom were on the same floor and they didn't need to go around. As they approached the bathroom, Ron suddenly asked, "Myrtle, how did you know Malfoy? I heard that you have the habit of peeking at the senior bathroom."

Myrtle sobbed and covered her face and passed through the wall.

Harry and Hermione stared at Ron, and Ron shrugged, "I'm really curious."

"Shut up," said Hermione, and they came to the door of the bathroom where Myrtle usually entrenched. Harry listened for a few seconds, lowered his voice and said, "Nothing can be heard... I must have been cast."

Harry and Ron turned to look at Hermione, who decisively took out the beaded bag, searched for a while and took out three telescopic ears from it.

"Great, I hope there is no anti-jamming curse, I'll try... It's true." Harry stuffed one end of the flesh-colored telescopic ear into his ear, and threw the other end towards the dirty door, and it automatically drilled into the crack of the door.

They listened carefully.

A pretentious voice pinching his throat reached their ears: "Are you still thinking about it? Or should I ask the master to give your father the order directly? Draco, we are in the same group, you only need to do a little help..."

Hermione looked up in horror, "It's that woman, Umbridge! What does she want to do?"

Draco Malfoy's low and hoarse voice came out, "I, I can't... sign that contract... no, that contract, will, will die."

"As long as you don't try to disobey. Malfoy, do you want to betray your master?"

"I, not..." Malfoy's voice lowered, "Your hope for success is too low, and I can't bet on my life. I need to think about it for a while. I will reply to you tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I have to ask my dad."

"Lucius is one of us, you don't think you can stay out of it."

“…I didn’t think so.”

"I don't have time to waste it for you, my dear Draco. It's just right that you don't agree. I'll report it to you immediately. You think about what your father will end up." Umbridge said in a sweet voice, sounding like an innocent little girl, but Harry and the other two couldn't help but shivered when they thought of her big pie face and the threats they made at this moment.

"What should I do?" Hermione turned her head and looked at them.

"What is the one she said about the deceased person who would die?" Harry asked calmly.

"I guess, it may be an 'unbreakable oath', once signed, it cannot be changed, and there is only one death to violate it." Hermione whispered, "but that requires a third person to be present."

Sure enough, the voice of the third person appeared. It sounded like the voice of a young man: "Sign it, Draco, why not tell you a secret. Dumbledore's Muggle protector will not live long, and the master just avoids the edge... He attaches great importance to this task and lets us complete it at any cost. You don't want to fail in the end because of you."

There was silence inside.

"What should I do?" Hermione asked again.

"Anyway, they must be stopped." Harry said, jumping up and pointing at the door,

"Wait," said Hermione. "We don't know what their plans are yet, and it's better to make them think it's an accident." She thought for a while, "I have an idea."

"Hermione"

Hermione had already rushed out. She pretended to be panicked and wandered back and forth at the door, "Huh? Why is the door locked?" She muttered to herself, then pulled out her wand, "Araho hole opened." The spell that blocked the sound at the door was destroyed, and the door of the bathroom bounced open a gap.

"We all came here at the risk of our lives, why do you?" The man's impatient voice came to an abrupt end.

"Hello, is anyone inside? Who arranged the spell at the door of the bathroom in a hurry? Is it to stop Myrtle?" Hermione said slowly.

The short few seconds were too long, and it seemed that they could not endure it. Harry and Ron were sweating in their palms. They stared at Hermione, afraid that a green wand would be handed out from it. They could not wait for the other side to make a decision. Harry shouted wisely: "Hermione, go and go quickly, we are waiting for you outside!"

"Yes, I also want to exchange chocolate frog cards with Dean." Ron shouted.

Hermione hesitantly said, "Oh, wait a moment, something went wrong... It seems that someone is inside..."

"Do you need help?" Harry shouted at the top of his voice.

Finally, the door opened and Draco Malfoy said palely: "It's you, Hermione Granger."

"Malfoy?" Hermione said in a surprised voice, "Why are you in the girls' bathroom? I want to tell the professor."

"Don't meddle in other people's business! It's abandoned here," Malfoy whispered, "What are you doing here? What about the two followers of Porter and Weasley?"

"Of course it's the bathroom!" Hermione said in a arrogant voice: "They are outside, not like you."

"Get out of here, don't get in the way."

The conversation kept approaching, and Hermione said in a relentless voice: "Wait, I will tell the professor, let him deduct points and put them in confinement! I also want to tell Felch! Let all the girls stare at you, you are dirty, despicable..."

After hearing this, Harry secretly praised Hermione in his heart. The people inside were somewhat worried, and it was difficult to find Malfoy openly.

Malfoy's pale yellow hair and pointed chin were gradually clear from the darkness. His face was sweating and looked particularly pale, as if he had just suffered a serious illness. Following him was furious Hermione.

"Draco Malfoy?" Harry said in a surprised tone.

Malfoy glared at them fiercely and turned his head away without saying a word.

Hermione stopped angrily until Malfoy's figure disappeared, and she asked calmly in a low voice: "How is it? It's great." Ron gave a thumbs up, "Where is the person inside?" Hermione shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't see it.

"Maybe it's hidden." Harry sneered, his wand always facing the dark door of the abandoned girl's bathroom.

Hermione didn't go in just now. If she was hit by the Soul-Snatching Curse, it would be bad. She was not sure to break free from the spell.

Harry lit the wand on Ron and himself. Under the influence of the magical body curse, the two of them immediately merged into the dark environment. Hermione followed suit and slowly retreated and hid in the darkness. After waiting quietly for more than ten minutes, they were both a little anxious, and a faint movement came from the inside.

A silver light bloomed in the darkness. It seemed to be a cat, but it looked quite blurry. The patron saint wandered around and turned into silver lights and dissipated.

Then a short and fat woman showed shape, she looked around and left in a hurry.

But Harry and the other two didn't say anything. They knew there was another person inside. After a while, a young witch came out of it and strode away.

It was not until the back disappeared that the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"The man's surname is Avery, we've seen him before in the Ministry of Magic," said Hermione.

They walked back silently, seemingly worried. What happened today was beyond their expectations. "They obviously had a conspiracy, so it would be better to tell the professor." Hermione said, and Harry and Ron nodded. Suddenly, the door between the broom on the second floor opened silently, and three hands emerged from the darkness to drag Harry and the other two into it.

They reacted almost instantly, Harry opened the human-shaped iron armor spell, and the barrier tightly attached to his body expanded into a ball in the blink of an eye, squeezing his messy hands away. Two dark thorns flew out of Hermione's beaded bag, tangling towards the darkness; Ron took a step back and silently chanted the spell, and the white flames quickly condensed from the tip of the staff.

"It's us, Harry." said a very familiar voice.

Harry's heart was pounding, looking at the figure in the darkness, and said incredibly: "Angelina?"

"Come in quickly." Angelina said anxiously.
