Hogwarts from another world

Matthew Wakefield did not know that his two friends were experiencing such a crisis at this moment.

He couldn't even think of this.

Because from his perspective, Hermione and Neville should have returned to their respective common rooms after lunch in the Great Hall.

The afternoon class is Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Matthew came to the classroom with the rest of the first-year Slytherin students.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts course was taken by Slytherin and Ravenclaw together; but among the students in Ravenclaw, Matthew did not see Hermione Granger.

she is late

This is not usually the case.

While thinking to himself, Matthew opened his dark magic self-defense guide and flipped through it boredly.

Minutes passed by.

Class time has already started for several minutes.

However, Professor Rozier, the vice president, has not appeared in class for a long time.

This is an extremely rare situation.

Will something happen?

Matthew was keenly aware of it.

They couldn't wait too long. After about five minutes,

The administrator, Mr. Pringle, suddenly burst into the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

He shouted loudly: "Professor Rosier's class is canceled today, everyone should stay in the classroom and do not move around; your dean will come to pick you up and return to your respective common rooms."

"What's going on?" Draco Malfoy stood up and asked loudly.

"This is not what you need to worry about." Mr. Pringle glared at Malfoy: "Whoever dares to appear in other places in the castle will be responsible for any consequences."

"What are the consequences?" Padma Patil of Ravenclaw asked curiously.

Mr. Pringle smiled coldly at her: "Missing, injured, or dead."

As soon as he finished speaking, he strode out of the classroom, and the golden retriever dog followed behind him.

With Mr. Pringle's departure, the entire classroom fell into chaos.

"What's going on?" Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle gathered next to Matthew and discussed eagerly.

"Didn't it seem that a Hufflepuff student was attacked this morning?" Nott analyzed calmly: "Could it be related to that incident?"

"But then they should contact us in the morning." Malfoy was not convinced by this reason.

"Matthew." Gower looked at Matthew: "What do you think?"

"Perhaps" Matthew hesitated for a moment before replying: "Since the Hufflepuff student in the morning, something else happened."

Looking at the group of girls in Ravenclaw again, there was still no trace of Hermione Granger. Matthew suddenly thought of a very bad situation.

Matthew's words instantly caused a panic among several boys.

If there were two attacks on Hogwarts in one day, then they had to start considering their own situation.

"I was so stupid, I was really wrong," Malfoy said regretfully:

"My father originally wanted to send me to Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but I heard that Hogwarts is the best wizarding school in the world, so he insisted on coming here. If I hadn't come to Hogwarts , wouldn’t have been attacked by a dark magic item, stayed in the school hospital for several months, and if I hadn’t come to Hogwarts, I wouldn’t have encountered these terrible things.”

"Okay, Draco." Malfoy signaled Matthew to stop talking.

Because Professor Flitwick, the head of Ravenclaw, and Professor Slughorn, the head of Slytherin, have already arrived here.

"Children, follow me." Slughorn, who was always smiling, now had a serious expression on his face: "I will take you back to the common room."

More than a dozen first-year Slytherin students lined up in two lines, following closely behind their dean.

"Hogwarts has not been peaceful recently," Slughorn sighed: "Remember, today and the next two days of the weekend, you are strictly prohibited from leaving the Slytherin common room."

"what"

"We're going to be in the common room for two and a half days."

"Then what about eating?"

"That's right, Mr. Crabbe." Slughorn replied. He glanced at Crabbe first and then at Greengrass: "And Miss Greengrass, don't worry about food. The elf will deliver food to your dormitory."

"What happened, Professor?" Malfoy asked in confusion.

"Draco, I'm afraid I can't tell you this." Slughorn spread his hands.

He stopped answering everyone's questions and just led them towards the Slytherin common room.

At the same time, he looked around vigilantly from time to time, especially when passing those gloomy forks in the corridor.

Speechless all the way.

They successfully arrived at the stone door of the Slytherin common room.

One by one, the first-year students walked in, but Matthew Wakefield remained alone at the back of the line.

Until he and Slughorn were the only two people left outside the door.

"Professor Slughorn." Matthew asked softly: "What exactly happened? Can you tell me? I swear, I will never tell anyone else."

"Okay, Matthew, if I only tell you one person," Slughorn sighed and lowered his voice:

"The campus hospital was attacked. It is now a mess and there is blood everywhere. Madam Pomfrey was knocked unconscious and she should not be awake yet."

Slughorn looked hesitant for a moment.

"Are there other victims?" Matthew asked solemnly.

"Yes, two first-year children, Neville Longbottom and Hermione Granger." Slughorn sighed: "They are both missing. Professor Rosier is leading people to search for them throughout the school. "

Matthew couldn't help but feel his heart sink. It seemed that he had really guessed the worst-case scenario.

He took a deep breath and then continued to ask:

"By the way, Professor, you said before that we are not allowed to leave the Slytherin common room for the next few days."

"That's right, Matthew." Slughorn smiled: "I know this can't be hidden from you. I changed the password of the stone door and made it effective for attempts to leave the common room. None of you know. Password, so they can't leave the common room."

"But, Professor." Matthew said seriously: "Have you forgotten? There was an accident in the common room before. If there is any trouble here in the past few days, we will not be able to leave. Nothing will be worse than that." situation"

"You're right, Matthew." Slughorn said thoughtfully, and he nodded.

"You should at least tell the prefects the password." Matthew suggested.

"You can help me bring a message to them. I still have to participate in the search for Longbottom and Granger." Slughorn agreed: "Remember, don't let anyone except the prefect know the password."

"Of course" Matthew nodded without thinking.

"The new password is" Horace Slughorn lowered his voice:

"Merlin"
