Thus, whether it was Linley giving him a chance to prove himself or Linley suppressing the truth and saving his father, Draco was immensely grateful to him.
Just as Draco was caught in a dilemma, a translucent figure passed through the wall and slowly floated out.
She was a tall female ghost. Upon seeing Draco, she first froze in surprise.
However, when she saw the Slytherin House emblem on Draco's chest, she seemed to recall some unbearable memory from the past, and her expression immediately turned cold.
"Slytherin student, why are you here? It should be nearly curfew by now, shouldn't it?"
The female ghost spoke in a cold, clear voice.
Draco was startled by the sudden voice. He looked at the female ghost, and after recognizing her identity, said respectfully, "Good evening, Lady Grey. I'm Draco Malfoy."
The Lady Grey raised an eyebrow. Draco's politeness did nothing to improve her impression of him. After all, that Slytherin student who had deceived her back then had used his appearance and false sincerity to trick her.

Draco hesitated for a moment before honestly revealing his purpose. "Lady Grey, I wish to find Ravenclaw's Diadem. May I ask for your help?"
Upon hearing Draco's words, the Lady Grey's expression immediately became ugly, and her tone turned even colder. "Slytherin thinks itself worthy of coveting Ravenclaw's treasure? Leave this place, young wizard. Ravenclaw does not welcome you!"
As she spoke, the Lady Grey's attitude abruptly became harsh and forceful, and she drove Draco out of the tower.
