The corridor was dark and I couldn't see my five fingers.

"Fluorescent flash!" Matthew Wickfell pulled out his wand and shouted softly.

A faint light suddenly appeared in the darkness, illuminating the road ahead of Matthew.

"Oh, what are you doing, child!" On a giant oil painting next to him, several drunk monks quickly covered their eyes and shouted: "Don't kill it quickly, kill it quickly! You are going to blind our eyes..."

"Looking at Meilin, leave here quickly." On the other portrait below, a white-haired old man waved his arms and shouted in dissatisfaction.

"My dear little baby, stop crying..." The oil paintings of a mother and daughter seemed to be awakened, and the child was crying loudly, while the mother hummed a small song while comforting her child in a low voice.

Matthew ignored their complaints and continued to move forward in the corridor.

He didn't seem to be in a hurry, at least he walked slowly.

Moreover, Matthew's luck was pretty good. During this "night trip", he did not meet the administrator Pringer or Mr. Tang, or other teachers.

Soon, he almost left the dark and damp basement.

After passing through another corridor, the Potions Classroom appeared in front of Matthew... This is also the location where Adams and Carona's two Slytherin students were attacked.

Matthew did not continue to move forward, nor did he go to the Potion Classroom, but stopped suddenly in front of a broken iron door.

...

This is a long-destroyed girl's bathroom with a huge "fault" written on the door sign.

In the original work, this bathroom is also a very "famous" place.

Because this is actually the entrance to the "secret room", the territory of the ghost "crying Myrtle"; and a few hundred feet below this bathroom is the secret room where the snake monster lives.

Matthew looked down at the rusty brass ball handle.

He ignored the door sign with the words "Fault", unscrewed the handle, pushed the door open and walked in.

"Is anyone?" Matthew looked around the bathroom and asked loudly, and he shouted three times in a row: "Is anyone? Is anyone?"

No response.

Whether it is a human response or a ghost response.

So he walked in with confidence.

I have to say that this is the darkest and most dullest place Matthew has ever been to.

In front of him was a large mirror with mottled stains and cracks, and below was a row of stone-built pools with peeling surfaces.

The floor was wet, and a few candle heads burned low on the brackets, emitting a dim light, making the floor gloomy.

The wooden doors of the single toilet room look old and covered with scratches; and in the air, the long-destroyed chandeliers are hung weakly.

Matthew didn't have any effort to search for anything in the bathroom. He found a toilet that didn't look dirty, put down the toilet lid, and sat on it.

Then he began to wait patiently, and even the faint light of the wand in his hand was cancelled by him.

Unfortunately, I am too young, otherwise smoking a cigarette while waiting here would be excellent.

Fortunately, Matthew didn't wait too long.

About five minutes later, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor outside.

The very light footsteps are getting closer and closer...

Then, the sound of unscrewing the brass ball handle...

Then a small dark shadow broke into the dim bathroom.

Finally, she turned around and closed the door gently.

Meanwhile, Matthew Wakefield stood up from the toilet lid.

"Good evening!" His voice was not loud, but it was definitely enough for the other party to hear clearly:

"Miss Evans."

...

The black shadow seemed to be startled.

However, when she identified the owner of the voice, who was actually just a twelve-year-old child, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

She strode towards Matthew Wakefield until both sides could see each other's faces clearly in the faint light emitted by the candle hair.

Harry Evans' familiar face appeared in front of Matthew again.

But this time, she no longer lowered her head, no longer looked panicked, and had an extremely inferior expression... Of course, her expression looked a little surprised now.

"Wickfield?" Evans' voice was still a male voice: "Why are you here? It's dangerous to wander around the castle at this time. The murderer who created the series of attacks was still in the castle..."

"Maybe I should call you Mr. Evans, more appropriate." Matthew thoughtfully: "Of course I know which murderer who caused a series of attacks is still in the castle. Look, aren't I here to come to her?"

Harry Evans's face suddenly became deeper, and her right hand gently grabbed her wand.

"I think you must be thinking about how to kill me..." Matthew said calmly: "But before that, I want to beg you to allow me to say a few words... I guess you probably haven't chatted with anyone for many years... Look, I'm alone now, and a first-year student like me will not pose any threat to you!"

Evans suddenly laughed.

Although she still looks like a little boy, her face looks charming when she smiles!

"I suddenly became a little interested in you, Wakefield!" she said with a smile: "Tell me, how did you find my identity?"

"To be honest, there are too many loopholes, I don't know where to start." Matthew shrugged:

"But the most fundamental thing is that your disguise technology is really not very clever..."

Matthew paused and continued to say slowly: "...I'm afraid you have pretended to be a little boy as much as possible and have minimized communication with others as much as possible. But many natural habits cannot be changed in a short period of time..."

"...I discovered it myself, maybe it was just my illusion; but when several of my friends had this view at the same time, it was not our problem, but your problem..."

"...A little boy in the first grade often suddenly appears many female behaviors, which is very unreasonable!"

"I don't think Hogwarts or the school hats will make such a stupid mistake in judging the gender of a first-year student. Then there is only one explanation left-"

Matthew blinked gently and said in a summary:

"You are not the real Harry Evans at all, but a female disguise, right?"
