Hogwarts from another world

The relationship in the dormitory improved in this way.

At least on the surface.

Matthew, Crabbe, Goyle, and Malfoy all began to call each other by their first names, instead of calling each other by their last names like before.

At least in the eyes of "outsiders", they are now "friends" who have a very harmonious relationship.

During class, they would sit together; when Draco received a package from home, he would also share the candies and other things inside with Matthew; and Matthew's homework and papers would also be given to them. A few went to "plagiarize"...

Of course, these are all appearances.

Matthew could feel that the voices of his "friends" often trembled slightly when they spoke to him.

They are all afraid of themselves, and their behavior is more like "pleasing" themselves.

Maybe they don't understand the reason for this fear... maybe it just comes from their subconscious.

And Matthew knew that this was probably the influence of that book; how should I put it, it could be considered a positive influence.

Nor did he stop the relationship from developing.

At first, he was worried that if he had too much contact with these roommates, would Theodore Nott become "sick" again like he did?

But it turned out that he was overly worried, as several roommates were always in good condition.

……

Time flies!

When Matthew Wakefield realized that he had been at Hogwarts for two full months, it was hard to believe.

But it had to be said that the castle was becoming more and more like home every day. He seemed to have never felt this way in the previous house in Witton Road, Northampton.

Some of the most basic knowledge gradually came under his control, and he was able to start trying some slightly more complex magic.

However, the weather throughout October has been continuous.

Sometimes it rains continuously, sometimes it rains heavily, but it never stops. Fortunately, for the first-year students, they only need to leave the castle when taking herbal medicine classes... But even so, the herbal medicine classes three times a week make them suffer.

If Hogwarts was not in the Scottish Highlands but in some low-lying area, Matthew would even have to worry about flooding.

……

On Halloween eve, when they arrived at the auditorium, they immediately smelled the alluring smell of roasted pumpkin.

In the morning's Transfiguration class, Professor Troca announced that they could try to transform some animals. Very simple ones, of course, like turning a mouse into a snuff box.

There is no doubt that this is a very interesting course.

Although it was very difficult, even after class, the snuff box that Matthew conjured still had a very obvious rat tail.

The afternoon classes were cancelled. Matthew stayed in the library all afternoon, reading several books related to transfiguration, and thinking about the mistakes he had made in the morning.

And at dinner time, when Matthew arrived at the auditorium——

He found that the place was decorated with lights and candlelight today; the table was also filled with gold plates just like at the opening banquet.

And when you walk into the auditorium, the scene inside is even more spectacular——

Thousands of bats flapped their wings on the ceiling and walls, and bats swooped down from time to time. A bat flew next to Matthew. Matthew stretched out his finger and touched it lightly, and it turned into a ball of ashes... These bats were all created by magic and were not real.

As well as hundreds of pumpkin lanterns with candles in their bellies, they were everywhere in the auditorium, replacing the previous candles and lighting up the entire auditorium.

There are also many orange banners with burning flames surrounding those jack-o-lanterns.

There were also clusters of low dark clouds hovering above the dining table, causing the candle flames in the pumpkin's belly to flicker.

……

After Matthew sat between Draco Malfoy and Theodore Nott, he looked up at the guest seat.

What was surprising was that he actually saw Professor Rozier at the guest of honor. She looked great and was talking to Professor Sprout about something... It didn't mean that Professor Rozier would take at least a month. Recovery, it only took less than half a month, Matthew thought to himself.

Professor Grindelwald naturally also attended the Halloween dinner, but his expression was slightly tired. He was tilting his head and seemed to be dozing off.

Soon, the dinner began!

Delicious food suddenly appeared on a golden plate in front of you, just like at the opening party.

It tastes great, at least much richer and more delicious than the usual dinner.

"Matthew, you can try this lamb chop!" Draco on the side said with some compliments.

"Okay, thank you!" Matthew just nodded, and suddenly he frowned because he vaguely heard a dull sound coming from outside the auditorium.

With a "bang", the door of the auditorium was opened.

Then Professor Silvanus Kettleburn burst in.

The professor of Care of Magical Creatures and the warden of the Forbidden Forest looked extremely embarrassed at this moment... He was soaked by the rain and very dirty. The wand was held on the prosthetic leg in his right hand, and the expression on his face was full of He looked dignified and anxious, but also seemed very tired.

The entire auditorium suddenly became quiet, and most people's eyes were focused on him.

Principal Grindelwald, who was sitting at the guest table, also realized that something was wrong and stood up.

I saw Professor Kettleburn walking quickly to the guest of honor seat and coming to Professor Grindelwald's side.

He leaned over and leaned his prosthetic leg on the table, panting while whispering these things over there.

Matthew noticed that Grindelwald's expression changed significantly.

"Prefects." He said in a low voice: "Today's dinner ends early. Please lead all students from each college back to the dormitories immediately."

After saying that, the familiar light blue smoke appeared in the center of the guest of honor seat again.

As the smoke dissipated, Professor Grindelwald and Professor Kettleburn disappeared from everyone's sight.

……

"First years, follow me!" Matthew heard the voice of Slytherin Prefect Gemma Farley.

Farley seemed to be very familiar with this, and she forcibly pulled up Crabbe and Goyle who were still chewing on the lamb chops...

Then he led more than a dozen students and hurried to the basement.
