Hogwarts from another world

Looking at the four people standing at the door, Matthew Wakefield's mood barely fluctuated.

In fact, whether it is Draco Malfoy, Theodore Nott, or Crabbe and Goyle... Matthew has never really regarded them as his "friends" in this world.

To Matthew, the four of them were completely different from Hermione Granger and Neville Longbottom.

From the beginning on the Hogwarts Express, Hermione and Neville truly regarded Matthew as a "friend" from beginning to end.

As for Malfoy and the others, they had always treated Matthew as an "other" when he first joined Slytherin House a year ago; and their attitude towards them did not improve until the book launched an attack on them. After this incident...

In a sense, what connects them is not "friendship", but "fear" or interests.

Therefore, when Malfoy was frightened and "confessed" to him just now, Matthew was only slightly shocked, but not surprised at all.

What really shocked him was not Malfoy's behavior, but the reason mentioned in the book before, which turned out to be this...

Looking at these four frightened "naughty children", Matthew just said coldly:

"Come in, everyone, and close the door!"

……

Matthew didn't know exactly what impression he had on his four roommates.

Maybe it’s scary!

But he didn't mind, making their impression even deeper.

"Tell me," he said flatly, "What are your specific plans?"

As he spoke, he took out his wand, put it in his hand and slowly "played" with it, looking nonchalant.

Malfoy and Nott looked at each other, his eyes full of fear.

"It was Malfoy who suggested it!" After hesitating for a moment, Theodore Nott chose to "betray" his friend:

"Malfoy suddenly found us at the end of the summer vacation... He told us that for us noble pure-blood wizards, let one... let one... let one... ride on our heads, It is our shame to be the leader of the entire dormitory..."

After all, Nott still didn't dare to say that word.

"Just tell me your specific plans," Matthew said calmly, "I'm not interested in what you think or discuss."

"We..." Nott hesitated for a moment.

Malfoy on the side had already answered first: "We are going to go to Professor Slughorn and steal some Living Hell Decoction..."

The Living Hell Decoction is a very powerful sleeping pill, so it is also called the "Water of Life and Death". At the same time, it is a very advanced potion. Under normal circumstances, it would take at least a sixth grader to prepare it successfully...

Matthew frowned slightly, but said nothing.

"... Then, find a night... The original time is tonight... During dinner, while you are not paying attention, we will secretly add the Living Hell Decoction to the pumpkin juice and trick you into drinking it... Before the drug takes effect, we try our best to trick you into going to the prize showroom; after the drug takes effect and you fall asleep, we secretly put you in a corner of the prize showroom and hide you..."

Draco Malfoy's voice sounded increasingly shaky.

"...according to the amount of Living Hell Decoction, you will have to sleep until at least lights-out time before you wake up...and then...then we will secretly tell Mr. Pringle..."

Malfoy couldn't help but shuddered and didn't dare to say any more.

Next, it was Vincent Crabbe’s turn to speak:

"Draco has been trying to please Mr. Pringle this week. He brought several exquisite little gifts from home to Mr. Pringle...even his Nimbus 2001 broomstick. It was given to Mr. Pringle... because Mr. Pringle is a big fan of Quidditch..."

"It's quite grand, Draco?" Matthew said with a sneer.

Crabbe was too frightened to continue speaking.

Gregory Gower looked around timidly: "After we hide you in the prize showroom, we will notify Mr. Pringle... Mr. Pringle will rush there after the lights are turned off, and then You break the school rules and run around in the castle after lights out...and then..."

He paused and continued: "We will prove that you often go to the dormitory after lights-out time... Mr. Pringle can use this reason to apply to Principal Rosier to expel you from Hogwarts. ...or at least, a long period of confinement..."

Gore finally finished speaking, breathing heavily.

All four of them lowered their heads, and at the same time they secretly raised their gazes, observing Matthew's expression.

……

It's a pretty simple plan, and the details are a little naive.

After all, the four guys in front of me are just twelve-year-old "naughty kids"... with just a little bit of scheming.

Even if the book didn't create an "accident" and prevent the development of this plan; if they successfully implemented it as they wished, it would still be difficult to achieve their original purpose.

Matthew didn't think that Mr. Pringle alone could expel him from Hogwarts... He still had such confidence.

However, if you are really caught and openly violate school rules, you will definitely have to suffer a lot.

"Draco!" Matthew ignored the others and looked directly at Draco Malfoy.

Obviously, Malfoy is the real "culprit", and the other three people are just his accomplices.

"I don't think I've done too many things to you that deserve your revenge on me..." Matthew said calmly, while his voice sounded extremely sharp.

Matthew's left hand only held the wand in his hand, as if he was about to cast a spell if he was in a slightly bad mood.

"Tell me, give me an explanation?" Matthew continued to ask.

Malfoy's face at this time was extremely pale and ugly.

"I was confused for a moment...Matthew...my fault...I'm sorry...forgive me..." he said intermittently.

Matthew suddenly pointed the wand in his hand at him: "Tell me, who gave you the idea?"

"It's... it's my father," Draco Malfoy whispered, "He taught me this idea..."

……

Matthew seemed silent for a long time.

The other four people waited with some anxiety.

Finally, Matthew spoke again: "Where is the Living Hell Decoction you stole? Give it to me. Such a dangerous thing cannot be kept on your body!"

Malfoy hesitated for a moment, then took out a small glass bottle from his pocket...
