Chapter Three

Moaning Myrtle had decided against using the possession spell. She knew she had to wait until Peeves forgot about it or at least found a new way to annoy everyone. That day she had decided to join the Bloody Baron's feast for his 555th birthday and 500th deathday. She had never really into the idea of deathdays. Especially since the last time she went was Nearly Headless Nick's 500th deathday and Peeves had spoilt it tormenting and pelting mouldy peanuts at her.

She floated down to the Slytherin dungeons and looked around. The room was decorated nicely with lots of black streamers, red balloon shapes that changed into different shapes like swords and wolves, and lamps which had a nice eerie white glow to them. She flaoted over to the food table. Rotton eggs, mouldy cheese, stale bread covered in vegemite [Note: i hate vegemite incredibly] rotton fruit all bruised and squishy and a towering black cake with white frosting reading-

The Baron
13th December 144 to 13th december 1503
Still a man of honour and power

Myrtle floated through the food and then scanned the room. There were a few Slytherins standing around the room cautiously and Snape stood there with a grimace, like he was about to start yelling at any disruptions that might occur. Tehn she noticed a group in the corner. Harry Potter! SHe floated slowly over their way making sure she wasn't noticed.

'Hello Harry...Ron...Hermione..." She said pushing her glasses onto her pale face, "What are you doing here?"

Harry gave a weak smile, Myrtle beamed inside, "Snape's put us on detention. Apparently the sleeping potion wasn't allowed to be tested immediately. I'm sure Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle will wake up soon."

"Let's hope never," mumbled Ron.

Harry continued, "but Snape forgot that it was the Bloody Baron's birth/death day so he told us we had to come to and we were to clean the dungeon after it was finished."

Myrtle gave her best smile to Harry, which was kinda hard because she never really smiled, " oH ok. But if you want I can get you out of detention right now."

They all glanced at her, "Really?" said Hermione, then looked down shaking her head, "Wait no, we should just finish our detention and get it over and done with."

Ron gave her a look, "Oh come on Herm, don't be a goody goody all the time. I mean if we can get out of detention. I bet you have a heap of other homework that you don't want to get in trouble for."

Hermione tilted her head, considering it, "Well I do have an assignement due in a couple of months..."

"Then it's settled," Harry said, "Myrtle, will you help get us out of here without Snape noticing?"

Myrtle smiled her most seductive smile. Rom almost began to laugh as it looked like Myrtle's mouth was having spasms.

"So you promise to meet me in my toilet after?"

The trio's face changed in protest, "What?"

But Myrtle had already begun floating to the band stand. She then stood up and manuveured herself infront of the microphone.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Myrtle had begun the loudest noisest loudest ear-spliting scream that filled the whole room like a tornado. Harry covered his ears quickly and watched the reaction of Myrtle's doing. It caused a wind to ripple through the ghosts, knocking half of them down and some of the Slytherin students into the food table. Snape seemed to be withstanding it until Harry saw his eyes roll back and him faint.

Myrtle stopped screaming. The slience filled the room in bucketloads. Myrtle looked over the room and lifted her eyebrows at the Trio who were fast-tracking through the door. She then looked at the crowd burst into tears and quickly floated across the room over Snape, who was still on the floor, so quickly his grease hair almost messed up.

The Bloody Baron looked around at the havoc in his party. He shook his head and went for a slice of cake.

"That was bloody brilliant," Harry said as they walked out of the dungeons and into the hall, "Did you see Snape faint?"

Ron grinned and laughed, "that was hilarious."

Hermione looked at them, "You do realise we have to go visit Myrtle in her toilet."

Rom's face winced, "Really? Can't we just kinda like... not?"

"Oh come on," Hermione shifted them so they changed directions and began walking to Myrtle's bathroom.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Myrtle was floating impatiently around her toilet waiting for Harry. She had screeched into the microphone (A skill she had learned could get the attention of many people outside her toilet) and caused a distraction for them to get away.

The door opened and Harry, Ron and Hermione walked in.

"Hello!" she said floating towards them quickly. Perhaps too quickly as she realised she was looking at the door and the Trio behind her. She had floated straight through Harry. Harry shuddered. A coldness had passed through him like a metal blade but a thousand times colder.

"sorry!' Myrtle cried. SHe then looked at Harry over, "You know Harry, you never visit me in my toilet anymore. The last time I saw you since today was when we were in the bathroom together during the Tri wizard tournament and you were taking a bath.

Ron stared at Harry gobsmacked, "You two were in the bath together! Naked?!?!"

Harry looked uneasily around. He didn't like to remember that Myrtle had seen him naked. SHe had claimed she had closed her eyes but she really doubted it. He began shoving Hermione and Ron, "We should get going. Nice seeing you Myrtle."

Myrtle's mouth turned down to a frown as she watched Harry push his friends out.

"She's ok, I guess", she heard him whisper to his friends, "She's just not solid... In more ways then one."
