Hogwarts from another world

Neville Longbottom's words frightened Matthew Wakefield.

"It turns out that there was another attack last night." He frowned.

He was a little absent-minded and continued to talk to Neville for a few words.

After Longbottom left, he stuffed the sausage smeared with jam into his mouth, and suddenly found that it was a little cold.

Matthew's mood at this time was also the same.

In a sense, he escaped this time, he thought with some fear.

Seventh grader Maria Adams and fourth grader Rico Carlo were attacked last night after Slughorn's Slug Club ended.

That is, on their way back from Slughorn's office to the Slytherin common room.

And theoretically, I should walk the same path with them and go back together. After all, that was the only way to the Slytherin common room.

If it weren't for the fact that I wanted to listen in and inquire about the book from Slughorn, I would have gone back almost an hour late.

Maybe I have to add my name to the list of victims.

So, last night, when I passed the Potions classroom at about ten o'clock, I heard a voice coming from inside. Could it be related to this attack?

Also, is Principal Rozier, who suddenly appeared from behind with extremely weird expressions and movements, also related to this attack?

Of course there is Professor Trocca. Matthew noticed last night that his expression was different from usual, but extremely energetic.

Why were they there then?

Could it be that

Matthew suppressed many doubts in his heart and continued to eat his breakfast.

Breakfast is not over yet.

Suddenly, a burst of messy footsteps sounded from beside Matthew.

Then, a slender figure came to his side

"Wakefield" the other party asked anxiously: "Are you okay?"

"" Matthew was stunned for a moment. His mouth was still full of many sausages, and he couldn't speak, so he could only nodded numbly.

It was Agnes Lestrange, her blue eyes looking intently at Matthew.

"It's okay." After taking a sip of pumpkin juice and swallowing what was in his mouth, Matthew reluctantly replied: "What's wrong?"

"Aren't you a member of Slughorn's Slug Club?" Lestrange's tone became slightly colder.

"Yeah" Matthew replied: "Wait how did you know?"

However, Lestrange did not answer this question: "I heard that Adams and Carlo were attacked and seemed to be returning to the Slytherin common room after the Slug Club."

"Yes, but I was lucky enough not to go back with them."

As Matthew answered, he thought about how this girl knew that she had joined the Slug Club. She had never told anyone else before.

"Oh" Lestrange nodded, then stood up and walked away.

Her waterfall-like silver hair even lightly brushed Matthew's shoulders.

Matthew was left alone, staying here somewhat inexplicably.

He didn't even understand what was happening. Logically speaking, she shouldn't be very familiar with him, right?

"Forget it, let's eat." Matthew picked up another sausage and stuffed it into his mouth.

Paper cannot hold fire.

No matter how sophisticated Hogwarts' public opinion control methods are, the news of another attack suddenly spread throughout the school, causing an uproar.

Matthew saw many first-year students moving together in small groups, as if they were afraid that they would be attacked if they acted alone.

However, there seems to be no point in moving together. Didn't Maria Adams and Rico Carrow go back to the Slytherin common room together? They were attacked and both were in trouble.

Moreover, as a seventh-year Hogwarts student who is eligible to join the Slug Club and is appreciated by Slughorn, Maria Adams' control of many spells and self-defense spells is no less than that of some adult wizards.

Such students were actually attacked

The bad atmosphere even affected the classroom.

The History of Magic class on Monday morning was originally a subject that everyone liked very much.

But now in this History of Magic class, many first-year students are whispering to each other and discussing what happened last night.

Bathilda Bagshot, who had always been gentle, was very angry about this.

"If you don't want to attend the lecture, you can walk out now and never come in again," the old professor yelled angrily.

Then she coughed violently several times, and a house elf jumped up quickly and hit her on the back.

In this way, the class became quieter.

During lunch, Matthew heard some Slytherin students discussing the attack on Adams and Carlo.

Then during a meal, he had time to listen to several versions of the news.

Some people said that Adams and Carlo, the two attackers, died on the spot, and their bodies had been directly cremated by Professor Rozier and sent back to their homes.

Some people also say that they did not die at the time, but were seriously injured like Weasley and Malfoy and were sent to St. Mungo's for treatment.

Others insisted that there were definitely more than two of them dead, but the Ministry of Magic stipulated that the number of deaths in such emergencies could not exceed three. If more than this number, the principal of Hogwarts would have to step down; his friend passed by the gate of Hogwarts Castle in the morning At that time, I saw a magic carpet over there, carrying a corpse outside the castle.

All in all, rumors have spread around the school and everyone is suspicious.

Matthew also saw many lower-grade students secretly exchanging amulets, amulets, and other gadgets rumored to protect wizards without telling their teachers.

This practice seems to be very popular. For example, Theodore Nott, who lived in the same dormitory, showed off his trophies to the people around him after lunch.

Including but not limited to a smelly and dark onion, a round purple crystal, and a shriveled salamander tail

Of course, Nott could not be proud for long. A few minutes later, prefect Gemma Farley came over, collected all his "talismans" and threw them into the trash can.

The herbal medicine class in the afternoon also became chaotic.

Apparently, everyone was in low spirits.

Fortunately, Professor Sprout, the teacher of the herbal medicine class, always has a good temper and is not angry.

After the herbal medicine class, Matthew and the others returned to the auditorium from the greenhouse.

Then Matthew was surprised to find that so many students had never gathered in the auditorium at the same time since the opening banquet, even though it was not yet lunch time.

I'm afraid this is because no one dares to stay alone in other parts of the castle; the auditorium with more people may give people a sense of security.

Matthew glanced at the guest of honor seat, and then frowned.

Because he noticed that whether at breakfast, lunch, or now, he did not see Vice-President Professor Vita Rozier at the guest of honor.

This is not normal, because according to past practice, Professor Rozier will appear in the auditorium on time at meal time every day, and is almost never absent.

Moreover, if Professor Rozier could stand up and explain the specific situation at that time, the school would not be so panic-stricken and rumors would be everywhere now.

Matthew suddenly remembered that Professor Rosier had a slight limp when walking last night.

Could it be that she was already injured at that time?

Therefore, he has not appeared in everyone's sight until today.

Just as Matthew was thinking about it, dinner started.

The content of dinner is still the same as before, the standard two vegetarian and one meat dishes, Welsh lamb, roast potatoes and carrots, and a soup

The tangy fragrance soon filled the entire auditorium, but everyone was generally in a general mood and had a poor appetite.

This is true even for many teachers at the guest table.

For example, the head of Slytherin, Professor Horace Slughorn, sat there with a sad face, looking decadent.

Perhaps it was because something happened to two students in his college and students in the Slug Club; or perhaps because of this attack, the evening gatherings of the Slug Club would have to be canceled for a while.

But at this moment

A burst of light blue smoke suddenly appeared in the center of the guest of honor seat.

Just like what they saw at the opening party.

The students in the auditorium who were still talking about each other fell silent for a moment.

Even several teachers at the guest of honor table looked happy at this time.

All eyes were focused on the smoke.

After the smoke cleared, a familiar figure appeared in front of them.

Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Mr. Gellert Grindelwald, is back

For Matthew Wakefield, this was the second time he had seen the Headmaster of Hogwarts in nearly a month and a half since school started.

Principal Grindelwald seemed to have a tired look on his face.

As Matthew had been hearing at school, the principal was indeed busy

However, Grindelwald's appearance this time did not receive the enthusiastic cheers like before.

But everyone looked at him expectantly.

"I already know everything that happened at Hogwarts recently," Gellert Grindelwald said calmly, "I'm also sorry that there have been so many accidents at Hogwarts during the period since school started."

Principal Grindelwald's voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for everyone to hear.

And there seems to be a power hidden in his calm voice that pours into everyone who listens to him.

Matthew only felt that his anxiety and worry had been relieved to a certain extent; and the students whose faces were full of fear also smiled again at this time.

"First of all, don't worry, no one is in danger of life yet," Grindelwald continued:

"A friend of mine has seen Mr. Malfoy's condition. His health is gradually improving. I can guarantee that he will be able to return to class before Halloween."

Pansy Parkinson, sitting opposite Matthew, clasped her hands on her chest and looked visibly relieved.

"Mr. Weasley's condition is the worst, but he is out of danger; Madam Pomfrey has rich medical experience, and I believe he will get better soon."

"As for Miss Adams and Mr. Carlo, they only suffered minor injuries. It won't be too long after Halloween and they will be able to be discharged from the hospital."

Professor Grindelwald's words made many teachers and students look visibly relieved.

It has to be said that those previous rumors made many people breathless.

Now that we know that no one died, everyone's mood has obviously improved a lot.

Cheers rang out again, and many people even stood up and cheered.

Professor Grindelwald waved his hand and easily controlled the atmosphere in the auditorium, making the entire auditorium suddenly quiet again.

"But I think many people's guesses are correct," he continued.

Only this time, Gellert Grindelwald's voice suddenly became extremely sharp from the extremely gentle voice before:

"That is, there is indeed a powerful and terrible enemy in and around Hogwarts. The injuries of Mr. Weasley, Miss Adams and Mr. Carrow must all be related to him. They are all that enemy. Made by one hand"

The atmosphere in the entire auditorium instantly became a little solemn:

"But please rest assured, if that enemy dares to act wild in Hogwarts again and attacks my students, I swear, I will definitely make him pay a heavy price."

Grindelwald's serious and sharp expression quickly disappeared from his face.

Instead, it was the same gentle smile as before:

"So everyone, please rest assured that Hogwarts is safe, at least from today on, it will be safe."

"Because I'm back"
