Chapter 43: Crises (Ask for Recommendation)
"Did you hear, Ronald Weasley of Gryffindor, who was also attacked? ”
"It seems like I've been in the school hospital for days. ”
"This is the second attack since the start of the semester!"
"Rumor has it that Hogwarts is no longer safe. ”
"What should I do, I'm so scared ......"
......
Now, in almost every corner of Hogwarts, the attack on Weasley is being discussed.
Panic is also spreading in Hogwarts castles.
Of course, because Professor Rozier used his thunderbolt to block the spread of the news, most people didn't know that Weasley had been bitten by something.
Therefore, many people habitually infer that Weasley, like Malfoy before him, was attacked by extreme magical items/wizards.
They also believe that this is the second attack in a month.
Matthew Wakefield walked through the noisy crowd, and from time to time he heard their chatter.
His expression did not fluctuate, and he came to the auditorium.
Just as he sat down, a gray owl flew slowly to him, flew to his side, and then threw a copy of the Daily Prophet to Matthew.
Newspapers, of course, are not free, and one Daily Prophet costs five nats.
Matthew, who was penniless, found Neville Longbottom, who had a good relationship with him, and borrowed half a Galleon.
And the price was to help Neville complete his Transfiguration thesis......
The content in the Daily Prophet is still unnourishing...... Dark wizard Dedalo Digo, arrested by the Aurors in Surrey...... The Ministry of Magic's Law Enforcement Division has seized an extreme wizarding venue in the village of Badley Barberton...... "Weird Sisters' new album "So Tonight", which will be released in two weeks......
There is not a single page that mentions the attack on Hogwarts.
Matthew shook his head, tossed the newspaper aside, and began to eat breakfast.
As he ate his breakfast, he pondered—
Now the influence of this Hogwarts seems to be much beyond his expectations, and the big news that two first-year wizards have been attacked, their lives are in danger, and their lives are still uncertain, can be forcibly suppressed.
For so many days, nothing was reported. You must know that the families of the two victims have a certain amount of power!
Draco Malfoy's case was secondary, and Matthew was well aware that it was caused by the mysterious book.
It's been almost a month since that happened, and the book has been gone for almost a month, as if it never existed......
In a sense, Matthew owes a good thank you to Mr. Malfoy, who is still lying in the school hospital.
And the attack on Ronald Weasley is somewhat important!
And he is indeed the second victim...... The first victim is most likely the unicorn in the Forbidden Forest.
Unicorns are as powerful magical creatures as they are brutally killed by that "murderer".
The reason why Weasley is still alive is probably thanks to Mr. Tang...... At the time of the attack, Mr. Tang made a big noise, which must have been unexpected by the "murderer". As a result, the "murderer" had to stop the crime early, and Weasley was able to save his life.
And judging by the wound on Weasley's neck, the following conclusions can be drawn -
In the castle of Hogwarts, there is a blood-sucking monster!
Very powerful enough to easily kill a magical beast of unicorn level, an adult wizard like Professor Kettleburn would not be its opponent.
And it's extremely brutal, and for first-year students, it will be cruel to kill the killer.
Honestly, it's a very bad situation......
The teachers of Hogwarts, in particular, do not seem to take this matter very seriously, nor do they take any visible precautions......
It's as if there were two attacks that never happened at all.
Is that monster still at Hogwarts?
Will there be a third attack?
Will the new victim be yourself?
......
Matthew finished his breakfast with a heavy heart, and while there was still some time before class, he walked to the library.
For the past few days, he has been looking up monsters related to bloodsucking in the library...... Especially humanoids.
Even if Hogwarts wasn't prepared to protect them, he had to learn to save himself.
To be honest, Matthew didn't think that a simple monster would sneak into Hogwarts and get out of the way after multiple attacks......
He was more inclined to believe that the monster was disguised as a wizard, and it was more likely that it was disguised by their side.
Professor Troka is undoubtedly the most suspicious, and Matthew has been deliberately keeping a certain distance from him lately.
Professor Rozier is also very likely, reminiscent of the bright red, blood-like liquid she had seen in her office.
Also, could it be other professors, or other students?
Matthew wandered in front of a row of books, aimlessly pulling some books out of the shelves.
He now regretted that he hadn't read the huge book Hermione had borrowed him from beginning to end...... I just finished reading the vampire part, and after reading the content about the Dream Demon in a cursory way, I gave it back to Hermione.
Now that all this time has passed, the book will probably not be with Hermione for the most part.
Before he knew it, Matthew had arrived in the forbidden book area.
"What are you looking for, kid?"
"Nothing. He replied honestly.
Mrs. Pince, the librarian, angrily waved a feather duster at him:
"Then you'd better get out!"
Matthew left the library in a gloomy manner.
To find any forbidden book, you must have a note signed by a teacher......
He was already considering whether to make this request to Professor Horace Slughorn.
But Matthew is well aware that if he offers it, he will most likely be rejected.
This is because Professor Slughorn, though he seems to be more serious about him, never mentions inviting him to join the "Slug" club.
......
Matthew, who was in the hallway, looked at his watch, and there was still almost an hour before Charms class began.
Is it time to go to the Charms class early?
It's better to go back to the auditorium first, after all, there are more people over there, and the safety factor should be higher.
Just when Matthew was struggling, suddenly he thought of one thing-
There seems to be a place inside the castle that might help him get the books that can only be found in the forbidden area!
Merlin forbid, that house was not sealed off by Headmaster Grindelwald!
PS: I'm sorry, it's a bit too much tonight, so let's postpone it until tomorrow night.
