After explaining to Professor Lockheart that I had his class his period, he gave me a test and went off to his office, leaving to answer his 'test' all about himself.

Finishing the 'test'. I put it on his stand by the cage full of cornish pixies and left. I had an hour and a half before dinner, so I might as well explore the castle a little.  I had a feeling that there were some secret passageways I had yet to discover.

After finding 5 secret passageways I stumbled upon a girls restroom. Passing it by I heard what sounded like a girl crying in the bathroom, so me being the gentleman that I am, knocked on the outside door. Hearing the person repky a 'come in,' I walked inside, feeling my ghost sense go off weakly, I found a ghost crying in the air. The ghost looked like a girl, a squat looking ghost with lank hair, pimples, and thick glasses. She looks like the type that seldom smiles and would probably take offense at the least excuse, taking the opportunity to cry rivers of tears and wailing. After seeming me though she wipes of her face, trying to hide any evidence of her tears.

After taking a deep breath she asked me in a breaking voice, "Why are y-ou here?"

I reply, "Because I care for all with souls."

"Oh."  was all she could reply.

"So please tell me what has you so troubled you were crying?"

Hearing footsteps pause by the door I smile internally already guessing whose feet were stopped right by the door, "I never caught your name, Could you please tell it to me?"

"Oh! Of-of course. I am Myrtle, Moaning Myrtle."

"Nice to meet you moaning myrtle, Please call me Danny."

"as if I could ever-"

"But you can, I don't really care for formalities, besides, I only really start 'it' on Halloween."

"But you're our hero!"

"I'm not a hero, but please do me a favor and drop the formalities."

"S-sure."  She hiccuped.

"I'll come visit you tonight, besides I think that you have some visitors who are waiting for me to leave."

"Oh, ok. I'll go mope in my stall until they arrive."

Turning around I exited the restroom, not at all surprised by who was waiting for me once I exited.

"So what were you doing in Moaning Myrtle's Restroom?" Hermione asked cutting straight to the chase.

"What were you doing heading here?" I easily reply.

"it doesn't matter, why we were here, we asked you first," Harry replied looking at me in the eyes.

"Fine, I got bored working on my homework so I started exploring, and a couple hidden passageways later I stumbled upon her restroom. Hearing her cries, I asked for permission to enter, and upon doing so, tried to calm to her down. Now, I do believe that she is waiting for you." I reply walking away, leaving a very confused trio behind me.


Harry's POV

"Fine, I got bored working on my homework so I started exploring, and a couple hidden passageways later I stumbled upon her restroom.  Hearing her cries, I asked for permission to enter, and upon doing so, tried to calm to her down.  Now, I do believe that she is waiting for you." Danny said before stalking away, turning a corner so I couldn't see him anymore.

Hearing Hermione sigh, I turn to her asking her, "What do you think of Danny?"

"Well, I think he has more than his fair share of secrets.  He should share."

Nodding in agreement, we walked into the bathroom.

Exiting the bathroom I was annoyed. Why was Myrtle protecting Danny's secrets? Why was she telling lies for Danny when she only just meet him. What makes Danny so special?
