Chapter Seventy-Nine: Tracking (Asking for Recommendations)
The Minister of Magic, Lady Millicent Barnold, was stronger than he thought.
Matthew Wakefield grabbed the Daily Prophet in his hand and looked at the contents of the newspaper while wondering.
The newspaper in his hand still did not contain any reports related to the attack.
The front page headlines the news of the marriage of Idan Linzi, a seeker for the Montrose Magpies, and the second page features the Ministry's decision to temporarily lift the curfew on Hogsmeade...... It's all trivial.
Matthew flipped through the "Daily Prophet" randomly, and finally around the corner, he saw an "interesting" piece of news -
"Merlin, the greatest magician in English history, where is his legacy hidden?"
For the British wizarding community, Merlin's legacy has been a question that has puzzled them for hundreds of years...... The wizard, who eventually lived to 1,200 years, did not die until the 18th century during the Goblin Rebellion. There is no doubt that when he left this world suddenly, he must have left behind an extremely large legacy. But for more than two hundred years, no one has ever found his legacy.
The prevailing view is that Merlin's legacy was also taken by the elves at the time of his death, while others hold a different view.
A short piece of news, but the small news that appears around this kind of corner is mostly just a chase by people with a heart.
Matthew just glanced at it and hurried out of his sight.
I searched through the entire Daily Prophet, but still didn't find anything valuable.
He eventually gave up, crumpled the newspaper and threw it in the trash.
......
It's been almost two weeks since Hufflepuff's first-year Justin Finchrie Finchrie disappeared.
However, news of his disappearance still did not spread at Hogwarts, at least Matthew never heard anyone discuss it.
Including those Hufflepuff students.
There is no doubt that this disappearance was forcibly suppressed by the management of Hogwarts.
According to Neville, it was Professor Rozier and Professor Sprout who deceived them, and Justin Fenreli was bitten by a snow spider while he was locked up in the Forbidden Forest, and he was temporarily taken to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magic and Magic for treatment.
Thanks to Justin's Hufflepuff students, the naïve badgers didn't doubt these words too much.
Also thanks to the fact that Justin's parents were ordinary Muggles, it didn't have to pay any price for Hogwarts to hide the news.
"Matthew!" he whispered as Matthew walked out of the auditorium and saw Neville Longbottom at the end of the hallway, waving at him.
Matthew looked around, then hurried in Neville's direction.
Neville also turned and left, and the two of them came to the door of the history of magic classroom "very tacitly".
Then, while there was no one around, they crept into the dark classroom.
Neville turned around and carefully closed the door.
......
Miss Hermione Granger was already waiting for them in the History of Magic classroom.
Seeing Matthew and Neville's intrusion, she stood up with some excitement.
"How's it going?" Hermione looked at Matthew eagerly, "Is there anything suspicious about Professor Troka?"
Matthew paused, he felt that it would be better to take a moment and prepare the language?
"Let's talk about it first. Matthew looked back at Hermione, "What's wrong with Professor Rozier?"
Neville was the first to speak, "There don't seem to be any accidents...... Every morning, noon and evening, she goes to the auditorium for dinner and, of course, for classes...... Other than that, Professor Rozier spends most of her free time in her office, where her daily routine is very regular......"
"Is that so......" Matthew just nodded, but was interrupted by Hermione beside him in a somewhat angry tone!
"Not at all!" Hermione said with a serious expression.
"Tell me about it......" Neville shut, knowingly.
"Professor Rozier is really suspicious. Hermione said quite seriously, "I should have been observing more closely than Neville. Lately, Professor Rozier has often gone to the Potions classroom to take a look...... It seemed that there was something over there that had been tempting her. Don't forget, around Halloween, where Adams and Carlo were attacked, was around that corner!"
"Potions classroom?" muttered Matthew.
"And what about you, Matthew?" Hermione asked eagerly, looking at Matthew's biao, "You're in charge of tracking Professor Troka, have you gained anything along the way?" ”
"Like Professor Rozier, Professor Troka spends the rest of his time in his office except for meals and classes...... "Matthew explained calmly, "at least for the time being. ”
"Okay. Hermione nodded in disappointment.
Obviously, she is still a little dissatisfied with the little discovery so far.
The exchange between the three of them lasted for a short while.
Eventually, they left the classroom.
......
When Matthew Wakefield returns to the Slytherin common room.
"Matthew!" A figure who looked a little silly hurriedly took advantage of the fact that there were not many people around him and walked over.
"Crabbe, how's it going?" Matthew asked in a whisper, "How's it going on Professor Trolla's side?"
"Professor Troka has often pretended to be okay these days, and walked around the school...... "The fat Vincent Crabbe, hurriedly replied, "What are you looking for in the school!"
"Okay, thank you. Matthew nodded, "What about Goyle now?"
"He's probably still in front of the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher's office, following ...... over there," Crabbe replied honestly.
There is no doubt that Matthew himself is not willing to follow the Hogwarts teachers, let alone take a lot of risk to do so.
Therefore, he handed over this "dangerous" task to two "friends" -
Crabbe & Goyle.
He temporarily "borrowed" the two men from Draco Malfoy.
With their help, they take turns "spending" Professor Troka's office.
The more likely you are to find something unusual!
