Hogwarts from another world

Regardless of whether Miss Hermione Granger's concerns were justified and alarmist or not, they could no longer focus on this issue.

Because they have to go to class.

The three of them parted, and Hermione's face looked very solemn and sad.

At noon, when Matthew reappeared in the auditorium, he suddenly found that there were many delicious foods on the table as usual...

Everything is back as before! It seems that the house elves' strike has come to an end!

Hermione didn't want to believe this "fact"...and it seemed like she hadn't eaten anything during lunch.

After lunch, she dragged Matthew and Neville to the kitchen again——

She wanted to see those poor house elves again, comfort them, and ask them if they needed help...

Only this time, they failed to open the door in the picture; it was locked from the inside, tightly.

The three of them could only return without success.

In the following weeks, "strike incidents" seemed to continue to occur from time to time; of course this was just their speculation.

Because every once in a while, there is always a meal that is far from as sumptuous as usual, very monotonous, and even a little insufficient...

Matthew believed this was Hogwarts' "emergency" response when the house elves went on strike.

However, it never happened again that students were left hungry.

Hermione Granger never mentioned anything related to house elves again, either normally or privately when she was with Matthew and the others.

But Matthew believes that she must not have forgotten what she saw and heard in the kitchen.

……

Time passes day by day.

The last month of the year has finally arrived, and this time the cold air has completely enveloped the entire Hogwarts.

One day before the Christmas vacation, when the Hogwarts campus woke up from a dream, they suddenly found that it was covered with several feet of snow, and the lake was also covered with hard ice.

And one day later, on the next morning, the heavy snow that had been flying suddenly turned into a violent blizzard——

The herbal medicine class was temporarily canceled because Professor Sprout was originally preparing for this class to take the students to transplant Flor flowers outside the greenhouse... This is a very dangerous job, and such bad weather makes it even more dangerous. increase its risk.

So during what was supposed to be Herbology class, Matthew Wakefield sat by the fire in the Slytherin common room, looking a little distracted.

This year’s Christmas vacation, it is said that there are many students staying in school, at least double that of last year... Last year was a special situation, because those sudden attacks were too scary for the students, causing excessive Panic made almost all the Hogwarts students, other than Muggle-born students, go back in fear!

Although there were several fugitives from Azkaban on the run this year, those notorious criminals were far away from the students, so they did not cause any panic——

So many people stayed.

For example, Draco Malfoy, his parents were said to be leaving England during the Christmas holidays, so he simply chose to stay in school.

Muggle-born students like Matthew and Hermione are naturally within the scope of detention.

Even Neville won't be coming home, as his father will be staying at Hogwarts throughout the Christmas holidays.

"Damn it, Gringotts seems to have gone wrong again!" Beside the campfire, a senior Slytherin student suddenly put down the "Daily Prophet" in his hand and complained loudly.

"Gringotts?" Matthew frowned and asked quickly, "What happened over there?"

"The goblins made a strong protest to the Ministry of Magic, hoping to amend the unequal "Wizards and Goblins Non-Aggression Act"..." The senior boy explained eloquently, "They asked wizards to reduce their interference in Gringotts. And renegotiate whether goblins can legally own wands..."

"It is said that the relationship between wizards and goblins has dropped to the worst point since 1717; there are even rumors that a goblin rebellion in the 20th century is brewing... Damn, that will definitely be a disaster !”

"New goblin rebellion..." Matthew frowned.

In fact, in a sense, this is not alarmist.

He also vaguely heard about this when communicating with Dirk Cresswell, an official of the Goblin Liaison Office of the Ministry of Magic, at the Slug Club gathering.

……

Uncharacteristically, the house elves at Hogwarts went on "strike" frequently.

The goblins of Gringotts may even be brewing a new "goblin rebellion."

Plus the missing members of the Order of the Phoenix who sneaked into Hogwarts...

All of this is a bit frightening.

To be fair, there haven't been too many trivial incidents or accidents in Hogwarts in the first half year since the beginning of this semester; at least it seems to be much calmer than last year.

But Matthew always felt that behind this apparent calm, there was an undercurrent quietly surging...

The promoters of that undercurrent are undoubtedly the members of the Order of the Phoenix!

They seemed to be guiding all of this from the shadows.

To be honest, this is very strange. Albus Dumbledore has been imprisoned in Nurmengard Prison for nearly fifty years, and the remnants of the Order of the Phoenix have been almost suppressed for so many years...

So why are they doing it now?

What gave them the courage and confidence to think they could shake or even overthrow Gellert Grindelwald's influence?

To be fair, if it were up to his butt to decide, Matthew would definitely prefer the magical world dominated by Albus Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix... After all, he is a Muggle-born wizard, and Grindelwald's politics The attitude has always been wizard-first and anti-Muggle.

What's more, when he was in Hogsmeade, it was most likely Aberforth Dumbledore of the Order of the Phoenix who saved his life.

But if Matthew were to choose, he would definitely choose to side with the existing Hogwarts principal.

Because the times have been decided...

Gellert Grindelwald's influence has long been integrated into every aspect of the wizarding world.

And the forces under his command are far stronger than the Order of the Phoenix, whose leader was arrested and could only operate in secret (Matthew did not believe that Grindelwald was just a "harmless" Hogwarts principal).

Therefore, Matthew was very puzzled by this surging undercurrent!

The only thing he could do now was stay away from it.

And I hope this undercurrent will not affect me.
