"Sirius, you do not want to know." Her voice was trembling terribly.

"Myrtle, please." There was a sharp desperation in his voice that chilled her to her transparent core.

"If I…If I tell you…you have to promise not to…do something stupid." The possibilities of his actions paraded through her mind, each more foolish of him than the last.

"Myrtle—"

"Sirius, promise me." The hard urgency in her voice made him wary to agree, but he needed to know.

"Fine."

"I left the kitchen and I wasn't watching where I was going. I…I ran into someone."

"Who?" he said through clenched teeth.

"I said no…but he didn't…didn't care. He called me 'Moaning Myrtle' and he…forced me…to…" she trailed off, unable to whisper the truth.

Sirius stood up forcefully.

"Sirius, no!"
