After a while, he heard the two best friends, Harry and Ron communicating outside.
Then, they knocked on the door of the compartment where Cyrus and Hermione were respectively: "Hurry up, we have to go..."
A sharp voice answered him: "I-I really don't want to come out. You can go on your own."
"Hermione, we know Millicent is ugly, and no one will know it's you."
"No - really no - I don't think I can come. You two hurry up, you are wasting your time."
Harry looked at Ron with a confused expression that looked more like Goyle's.
"Well, at least we still have Ginny— Ah! Malfoy?" Ron's final voice was still stuck in his throat, and he saw a figure that almost scared him to death.
'W-Why is Draco Malfoy here? Plan exposed already?' Ron thought making a grim expression.
However, Harry soon discovered that the Malfoy in front of him was wearing a Gryffindor school uniform.
"Are you Ginny?"
Cyrus nodded.
At this moment, Ron also reacted. He looked at Ginny with a ridiculous face. He couldn't believe that Ginny, who had been very reliable since the beginning of school until now, actually fell off the chain: "But how can you stand up to it? From all those other Slytherins you settled for Malfoy's face?"
"You're right, that's why I can't go." Cyrus pretended to be helpless with Malfoy's face, which made Harry want to punch him twice.
"Yeah, just hide that face like Hermione, and ugh, don't make that kind of expression," Ron said.
"Sorry Ginny, you look really annoying," Harry commented
"Thank you, you look stupid too - the time is almost up. The potion prepared by Hermione will not be effective for a long time. You guys must hurry up!" Cyrus rolled his eyes and said immediately.
After sending the two guys away, Cyrus said: "Hermione, wait for me here. I think I can use Malfoy's appearance to go somewhere else to get some information."
"Okay, go ahead." Hermione wished Ginny would leave quickly.
Cyrus didn't intend to change his clothes. With a touch of the wand, his robe turned green. Then, he walked out quickly and headed towards the owl loft without hesitation.
He took out the map.
"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."
Many traces immediately appeared on the blank parchment.
"Dumbledore is in the headmaster's office, and the other professors are also in their respective offices. There is someone in the owl shed - Malfoy? why is he in the owl shed? Very good, let's leave."
Cyrus was startled, but he found that Malfoy did not stay there for long and left immediately.
He immediately cast a Disillusionment Charm on himself and walked towards the path where Malfoy went downstairs.
Malfoy lowered his head and read a letter while walking.
It was probably a gift sent to him by Narcissa or Lucius. Usually, these would be sent directly to his dormitory by the house elves, but it may be due to the recent situation in the Malfoy family. More special, Arthur Weasley is trying to deal with them.
After reading the letter, he opened another newspaper, and Malfoy's face immediately became happy.
Cyrus glanced over and noticed that it was reporting that Ron and Harry had driven to school, for which Arthur Weasley had been punished.
Apparently, Lucius was putting a little pressure on this too so that Mr. Weasley didn't have the energy to cause trouble for him.
After missing out on Malfoy, Cyrus continued walking upstairs and soon reached the tower.
There are very few owls in the tower, almost all of them are public owls raised by the school.
Cyrus took out the letter he had prepared in advance, found Draco Malfoy's owl, and released it. The owl did not realize that the man in front of him was not its real owner.
Seeing the owl spreading its wings in the snow, Cyrus couldn't help but curl up his lips.
Now, it's time to kick Dumbledore out of Hogwarts.

"Did you find out the secret?" Cyrus met Harry and Ron at the door of the bathroom.
The two of them had almost completely transformed back. Their large robes made them look very funny.
"Malfoy is not the heir!"
"So our work was in vain?" Cyrus asked.
"Fortunately, it's not a complete waste of time," Ron gasped, turning around and closing the bathroom door. "I know we still haven't figured out who launched these attacks, but I'm going to write to Dad tomorrow and ask him to go and search under the Malfoy living room."
Ron knocked hard on the door of Hermione's room.
"Hermione, come out, we have a lot to tell you—"
"Go away!" Hermione piped up.
"What happened?" Ron said, "You must have returned to normal now, we..."
Weeping Myrtle suddenly appeared from the crack in the door of the single room. She looked very happy as if she had met some huge happy event.
"Oh, wait and see," Myrtle said, "It's terrible!"
They heard the door lock slide open and Hermione emerged, sobbing, her face covered in black hair, her eyes turned yellow, and two long pointed ears sticking out of her hair.
"I made a mistake, that was a piece of cat hair!" she cried miserably, "M-Millison must have a cat! But this potion is not used to transform into animals! So I became like this..."
"What bad luck," said Ron. But the corners of his mouth were raised as if he had awakened some strange XP.
"You'll be teased to no end," Myrtle said happily.
"It's okay, Hermione." Cyrus also felt that Hermione looked very cute like this. There were not many Furies alive, but seeing that Hermione was so sad, he still gave an opinion, "We will send you to the infirmary. Madam Pomfrey never asks..."
It took them a while to persuade Hermione to leave the bathroom. Moaning Myrtle laughed gleefully and loudly, causing them to quicken their pace.
"Just wait, everyone will find out that you have a tail!"
"Don't worry Hermione, there are too many precedents like you. It can be cured, Pfft... as long as you are not handed over to Lockhart." Cyrus said, almost making Ron laugh.
After sending Hermione to the school hospital, Cyrus planned to return her body to Ginny first. During this period of intense possession, Ginny's physical condition became a bit worse. It would be best to let her go during the Christmas holiday and get some peace of mind.
Cyrus picked a few things to tell Ginny so that she wouldn't reveal them.
.

"So, Malfoy is not the heir, and our clues are broken again?" Ginny summarized the progress of "Mr. Riddle" during this period. It can be said that her work was almost in vain.
"It's not all in vain. At least Ron discovered some flaws in the Malfoy family, and I discovered that your brother Percy was in an embarrassing posture with the prefect of Ravenclaw in the girls' bathroom."
"So, don't worry, I believe things will get better." Cyrus comforted her.
However, the accident still happened.
When the Christmas holiday was over, Cyrus suddenly found that he could no longer contact Ginny.
