Hogwarts from another world

Chapter 194 There is a problem

In this way, all developments become reasonable.

Matthew Wakefield made a crestfallen look and shook his head.

After bidding farewell to Rosmerta and his wife, he left the Two Broomsticks bar in despair... and then walked towards the Hog's Head bar again.

It was late now and dark.

On the avenue of Hogsmeade, the cold wind whizzed... On this midsummer night, people suddenly felt a bit chilly in their hearts.

Matthew quickened his pace, bypassed the post office on Central Avenue, and turned into a side road——

As he got closer to the small bar belonging to Aberforth Dumbledore, he suddenly had a bad feeling!

"what happened?"

He was thinking secretly in his heart, the atmosphere was a little not right...

Looking at the severed and bloody pig head on the sign, Matthew's uneasiness became more serious.

This sixth sense has been extremely effective in many crisis moments before.

Bracing himself, he stepped forward.

Then he knocked lightly on the door of the Pig Head Bar...

……

There was no response, as if there was no one in the room in front of him.

Except occasionally I can hear some

Matthew blinked briefly and knocked again.

"Is Mr. Percival here?" he asked loudly.

After waiting for about a minute, the door to the bar opened.

Matthew saw the eccentric old man again... tall and thin, with long hair and beard that were both gray and white...

But what is more obvious is his face, which is densely covered with more than a dozen scars. It looks like the entire face has been disfigured... If a timid person sees it, he may be frightened and faint. .

The old man lowered his head and glanced at Matthew, but when he saw a boy knocking on the door, his expression looked a little disappointed.

"What do you want?" the other party asked in a low voice.

"I would like a cup of butterbeer, sir..." Matthew cleared his throat and replied, "If possible, it would be best to add more honey..."

"You sit down first," the old man nodded, "If you have anything to say, you can just say it..."

After saying that, he turned to the stove and started preparing butterbeer.

Matthew glanced sideways at the weird old man in the corner... To be honest, everything about him looked a little weird!

He had not had much contact with Aberforth Dumbledore (Mr. Percival), maybe only twice in total... but Matthew still had an understanding of the other person's character.

Aberforth Dumbledore is a man who looks very ferocious, although he is actually very gentle... No matter who he faces, he usually shows a ferocious look, and his attitude is cold and rude.

The old man in front of him looked exactly the same as the last few times he saw him...but his face was far from the fierce and indifferent expression in Matthew's impression. Even though he seemed to be trying hard to look that way, the gap between appearance and reality was still huge.

Not to mention, Aberforth should have known himself! Just like Professor Slughorn said, the existence of himself and that book should play a very important, even pivotal, role in their plan...

He insists on "exercising" every day these days. In addition to giving people a "habit", there is also an element of doing it for Aberforth... Matthew is trying to use this method to make Aberforth Knowing that he has been haunting Hogsmeade, let him be prepared...

But as he entered the Pig Head Bar, the weird waiter did not receive him warmly and cautiously as Matthew expected; on the contrary, he seemed to keep a certain distance from Matthew...

too weird!

It doesn’t fit Aberforth’s character at all!

At the same time, Matthew took stock of his surroundings.

Soon, he discovered another important flaw.

The floor is cleaner than expected... As we all know, the floor of the Pig Head Bar is extremely dirty; sometimes at first glance, you think the floor is compacted mud, but you realize it when you step on it. , centuries of dirt accumulated on the originally stone-paved floor.

And although it still looks dirty inside, it's not as dirty as I imagined. At least the stains on the floor and windows are not as scary as I remembered!

It was as if someone had used magic to clean it again before.

and so--

has a problem!

There must be something wrong!

……

Matthew's first thought was to quickly find a reason to leave this place of right and wrong.

However, this idea was quickly abandoned by him.

If you leave at this time, you are simply showing your "guilt" to the other party... It is simply a trap for yourself!

He could only sit there calmly.

Until a steaming cup of butterbeer was brought over by "Mr. Percival".

The bad taste almost made people spit it out!

It is unimaginable that an old man who has been a bartender for fifty or sixty years can make something so inedible.

This also further verified Matthew’s previous judgment. And over there.

Matthew didn't hide his disgust.

While rinsing his mouth quickly, he was thinking about whether to use this excuse to leave——

Suddenly, there was only a loud bang.

Then, the door of the Pig Head Bar was forced open.

Four black figures broke into the bar and pointed their wands at Matthew Wakefield, who was sitting in the guest seat. Including "Mr. Percival", he also aimed at Matthew and raised his wand.

Matthew was almost frightened...

He quickly held his head and shrank there, while shouting loudly: "Who are you?" "What are you going to do?"

In fact, there is no need to ask this question at all...

From the clothing and clothing of these people, we can judge their identities——

The "Saints" who swore allegiance to Grindelwald!

Matthew looked extremely hurt on his face...

Of course, deep down in his heart, he was actually very scared.

In addition-

This also means...the secret stronghold of the Order of the Phoenix may have been exposed.

And the real Aberforth Dumbledore may also be alive or dead...

His only connection seems to have been cut off like this!

However, there was no time for Matthew to think about this anymore.
