Chapter 196: The Sad Status Quo
Matthew Wakefield couldn't believe his luck.
In such a crisis...... In such a simple way, he was saved!
If Vita Rozier, later would appear here...... Or other wizards who are loyal to Gellert Grindelwald......
Then it will obviously be a different ending!
Matthew couldn't be sure, even if he was taken by surprise and unprepared, even with the help of that book...... Can it be the opponent of five or six experienced adult wizards?
Even if you succeed in defeating them and are able to escape...... The situation is not optimistic, you must know that someone knows that he has come to the pig's head pub at this time, so Matthew can be regarded as a real "social death", he must leave Hogsmeade, leave the wizarding world, and go into exile as a minor wizard......
There is no doubt that life is too hard!
Thankfully, the Headmaster of Hogwarts suddenly appeared.
The moonlight shone on Hogsmeade Avenue, and for the first time, Matthew felt so happy to be in the company of someone as cold as Professor Rozier.
"If I'm not mistaken, you worked at Duke Honey's candy shop during the summer, right?" Professor Rozier paused, glanced at Matthew, and said unhurriedly.
"Yes, ma'am......" replied Matthew hastily and respectfully:
"Thank you so much, Professor Rozier...... I was just frightened and had no idea what was going on...... I thought I was going to be sent to Azkaban......"
Matthew completely transforms himself into a little boy who "survives the catastrophe", and his words are particularly numerous: "It's terrible...... That's Azkaban...... I've heard that it's almost like hell...... So lucky you showed up ......"
"Yes, you're lucky!" Professor Vita Rozier said, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, a little sarcastic.
......
Matthew wasn't sure what the Deputy Headmaster's words meant by him.
For a while, he didn't dare to answer.
The moonlight shone on Hogsmeade Boulevard, and they were stunned here.
Vita Rozier didn't look at Matthew, just glanced at the bright moon in the sky-
"Professor Rozier?" Matthew couldn't help but call softly after waiting for almost thirty seconds.
"It's sad!" Professor Vita Rozier sighed,
"I can't believe we've corroded like this......"
This time, it was Matthew's turn to be stunned.
"Werewolf...... Bloodsucker...... Blackmailers...... Butcher...... Muggle sadistic ......" Professor Rozier still didn't look at Matthew, but at the bright moon in the sky, "If I were younger, I would have sent them all to hell with my wand, but now, I have to work with them......"
"......" Matthew suddenly didn't know what to say.
"It's sad, isn't it?" Professor Rozier repeated again, sneering.
Matthew felt that it would be appropriate for him to nod his head......
"You think they're over there to catch the remnants of the Dark Wizard?" her voice, looking more sarcastic, "how can it be...... You think they don't know? That bar was just an ordinary bar, an ordinary bar that lasted for more than fifty years...... There are countless guests who don't know the truth and may pass by at any time......"
"That's why they know it...... Professor Rozier shook his head:
"You're thanking me? No, you don't have to thank me, you just have to take a hundred Galleons out of your pocket and give them them, and they'll decide you're innocent and let you go, without even leaving a record......"
"Even the true Dark Wizard remnants...... As long as a hundred Galleons are left, there will be no danger, and the news can be conveyed to all the companions...... So, you think they're serving Lord Grindelwald? No, they're just doing it for their own benefit!"
"I see!" it dawned on Matthew.
He had already felt that something was not right...... The Pig's Head Bar has always been a haunt for people of all religions, and there are not many customers here, but it is definitely not a small one...... A wizard who enters a pig's head bar like this will be imprisoned in Azkaban!So wouldn't a third of Hogsmeade's wizards have to be sent in?
It turns out that in this, there is such a purpose!
"How pathetic!" Professor Rozier repeated for the third time:
"Power, in the hands of people like this, is actually to let them abuse it like this?"
"The new generation of 'saints' are all like this!"
"What's even more sad is that I actually want to pursue our greater interests with such a person!"
She spread her hands one last time, and then said no more.
......
The two were silent for a moment again, and Professor Rozier's mood seemed to ease slightly.
"Nothing frightened, Wakefield?" Professor Rozier's voice began to grow a little more concerned.
"I'm fine, ma'am!" replied Matthew.
It seems that the Headmaster of Hogwarts has no suspicion of himself at all...... Even the believers at the pig's head bar before almost never doubted themselves......
Matthew's mood at this time has become much better than before.
Today's situation doesn't seem to be as bad as imagined!
"Go back and get some rest!" Professor Rozier waved at him, "Don't go out casually during this time, especially in a place that is not clean......
"I know!" Matthew nodded hurriedly, "I didn't want to be here in the first place, it was Mr. Rosmerta...... It was he who recommended me ......."
"I'll ask Rosmerta about it then...... Professor Rozier said, with some impatience:
"Let's go...... You're a good boy, and I'm sure Master Grindelwald can't be wrong......"
Her voice became heavier and longer: "In the future, you will become a truly upright wizard, not like those who were before...... We are all very old, and you must know that the future is yours after all...... Our greatest interests are for you......"
"No...... Professor, you're still young,......" Matthew quickly retorted.
Professor Rozier smiled.
"That's just a show!" she whispered.
Then, her body turned into a cloud of black smoke, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared from Matthew Wakefield's face!
