"You're a ghost. What do you know about love?"
Myrtle's transparent eyes flood with ghostly tears, but a dreamy expression replaces her despair.
"I was in love once," she says.
Her companion begins to laugh, but Myrtle interrupts.
"He was a few years ahead of me. So handsome. And powerful." She sighs, remembering.
"He wasn't like the others who teased me." Her face hardens. "He just ignored me. Miserable, moping Myrtle didn't even exist to him!"
She soars above the prefects' bath, preparing to dive.
"What was his name, Myrtle?"
Just before disappearing, she reveals her love's identity.
"Tom Riddle."
