Hogwarts from another world

Chapter 150 The arrival of the moon

The first month after the second grade started, this is how it ended.

The road between Hogwarts and Hogsmeade was closed again, and the students all returned to the castle.

Matthew Wakefield once again began his peaceful life of four points and one line in the common room, auditorium, classroom and library.

The weather began to turn cold in October. In addition to pumpkin juice, the drinks usually provided in the auditorium also included steaming black tea... The students also added one or two woolen sweaters under their robes to keep out the cold. .

By chance, Matthew found out a piece of news——

It is said that a strange thing happened in the Hog's Head Bar on the day Hogsmeade opened in September... The Hog's Head Bar hired a waiter named "Tom" half a year ago, but it turned out that the waiter was actually a thief... …As a result, the incident happened that day, and the eccentric owner of the Pig Head Bar found that he had suffered heavy losses, so he tried to catch him, but in the end he let the thief escape...

This seemingly ordinary news seems to have another meaning in Matthew's eyes——

The waiter named "Tom" is naturally Tom Riddle (Tom Gunter)... Since someone can prove that he has escaped from Hogsmeade, it is almost certain that he is not possessed by his own behind the head, or elsewhere on the body.

Matthew, who had been a little worried before, could finally let go.

And the owner of the Pig's Head Bar is Mr. "Percival".

According to the description of this "news", coupled with my own personal experience that day... I fell into the hands of Tom Gunter at first. After waking up, I appeared in front of Mr. "Percival" at the Pig's Head Bar.

Matthew can boldly guess that the truth of that day seemed to be that Mr. "Percival" saved himself from Tom Gaunt and avoided his fate of falling into the hands of the Dark Lord of another world.

Of course, there is another issue involved -

Why did Mr. "Percival" save himself? Is it just because of his kindness?

Or does he have a deeper purpose?

But no matter what, he almost saved his own life... You know, if it fell into the hands of Tom Gunter, he would definitely not end well.

Recalling the ferocious, unattractive face and the cold and rough voice, Matthew couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart...

He will keep this kindness in his heart from now on.

At the same time, he was also glad that he did not tell anyone about his true experience in Hogsmeade that day.

After all, if his guess is correct... the true identity of Mr. "Percival" is most likely Albus Dumbledore's younger brother, Aberforth Dumbledore... He hides his name and disfigures himself , living in seclusion in the Pig Head Bar for so many years, must have his real purpose.

Maybe, he is also related to the three fugitives from Azkaban; even the plan of the three fugitives trying to sneak into Hogwarts is also related to him...

So after saving him that day, he drove him away rudely. He definitely didn't want to expose him and arouse others' suspicion because of these things.

After all, the real ruler of this world is Gellert Grindelwald.

Matthew may not be able to help Mr. "Percival" much, but he certainly won't cause trouble for his "saviour".

Therefore, I am afraid that he will have to keep his true experience in Hogsmeade that day in his heart... He cannot tell anyone, especially those who may have "ulterior motives", otherwise if people draw attention to the Pig's Head Bar, That would be equivalent to harming Mr. "Percival" himself.

……

Meanwhile, Matthew started to work a little harder than before.

Every day he would stay very late in the library before returning to the Slytherin common room... Even while lying in bed, he would recall the details and content of some spells, and then fall asleep to the sound of waves outside the window.

He eagerly studied all magical knowledge.

Because things have changed!

Matthew Wakefield once had no grudges and no ties to the wizarding world.

But it's different now. There is a powerful dark wizard named "Tom Gaunt" who is "waiting" for him outside the school, eager to catch him and take something from his hand...

This sense of oppression also became Matthew's motivation to actively improve himself.

There may be no trouble in the next half year... For some reasons, Tom seems to be afraid to break into Hogwarts; otherwise, he would have broken in long ago after staying in Hogsmeade for so long... What's more, for To capture the three Azkaban escapees, the protective measures around Hogwarts were very tight.

This also means that until next summer, as long as he does not leave Hogwarts voluntarily, Tom will not pose any threat to him.

As for the book, Matthew never took the initiative to open it again.

It's powerful...and something Tom Gunter craves desperately...

Although judging from its previous performance, it did not cause any harm to him; but the above factors alone were enough to make Matthew even more wary of it.

……

One day in mid-October, when Matthew finished breakfast, he hurried to the library.

"Matthew!" An eager voice suddenly came from behind.

Matthew stopped and heard the voice of Horace Slughorn, Head of Slytherin House.

"My little guy," Professor Slughorn said very affectionately, "If I remember correctly, you have missed the last three dinners of mine..."

Due to Agnes Lestrange's "warning" that day, Matthew chose not to attend the Slug Club meetings anymore.

Of course it's not just because of her warning; Tom Gunter actually knows his name and identity. Obviously, he may have an "inside agent" at Hogwarts...

"Sorry, Professor, I wasn't feeling well some time ago..." Matthew declined politely.

"Then you look in good health now." Slughorn replied with a smile.

"The second-grade courses are too heavy for me...Sorry, Professor...I may not have much time..." Matthew continued to refuse, while pointing to his heavy school bag.

However, Slughorn was not angry: "Sometimes, it is better to combine work and rest than to study blindly..."

"..." Matthew didn't expect Slughorn to be so determined, just when he was thinking about finding a better reason.

"This Sunday night at 7:30, remember not to miss it!" Slughorn gave him no chance to refuse again.

He patted Matthew's shoulder lightly and walked away.
