Chapter 2
Myrtle got used to the fact that I needed someplace to stay. I was only at Hogwarts temporarily and most certainly did not want to be seen by anyone. Myrtle let me stay in the stall beside hers, however her attitude did not change toward me. She was still cold and uncertain of the fact that a dead boy somehow appeared in her vicinity. I tried talking to her a few times, but I could not reveal much about my self, at least not yet.
It was a foggy morning and I decided to get up extra early. I hadn't met any students seeing as I chose to travel inside the castle walls. Myrtle was still in her toilet when I got up. I wanted to get to know the school a bit better so I tried to go down to the great hall. It was empty, just as I thought. I examined the Halloween decoration, I didn't even know that October had arrived. I felt quite lonely so I floated back up to the vicinity. There was Myrtle, sitting on her toilet seat. I approached her with my usual smile.
"Morning Myrtle."
She looked at me.
"Hullo. Aren't you the early bird.."
She said gloomily. I grinned a little and answered.
"Sometimes. Err, did you ever meet any of the students here?"
She shot me a startling look and mumbled a few words.. "None of your business.."
I smiled again.
"Why so cold all the time?"
She looked at her feet.
"Why can't you just leave me be? What more do you want? I gave you a place to stay now just wander off as you always do and just leave.. me.. be."
As her words spilled out, I sighed. I can't say I was expecting this from her. I looked at her and my smile suddenly came back.
"Why so insecure all the time? Do you get teased Myrtle? Aww.."
She glared at me.
"That isn't funny, idiot. By the way, I told you to mind your business, and while you're at it, stop smiling sheepishly as you always do, Xander."
And that was it, she slammed the stall door and began to weep.
