Chapter 53: The Quietly Disappeared Vice Principal (Asking for Recommendations)
The return of Headmaster Gellert Grindelwald seems to have given a shot in the arm to the panicked Hogwarts.
The atmosphere of panic and panic on campus was almost completely disappeared in a short period of time. In its place, there is the same sense of order that has always been at Hogwarts.
Professor Grindelwald informed everyone of the cause and effect of the attack, and everyone was no longer afraid. Professor Grindelwald told everyone that Hogwarts would be safe in the future, so there would be no more danger to Hogwarts......
All in all, almost overnight, Hogwarts was back on track.
......
And Matthew Wakefield's life has also returned to its former peace.
The students around him were no longer afraid, and they rarely talked about the attacks anymore.
And his life has also returned to the previous life, common rooms, auditoriums, classrooms and libraries, four points and one line.
In addition, he has reduced the number of trips to the Room of Requirement, and he usually chooses to go to the library unless it is a truly exceptional circumstance...... Because of Professor Slughorn's "warning" that night, he felt it was necessary to stay away from the book as much as possible.
Even if it's just "contact" in a room, it's better to have as little as possible.
And, as Headmaster Grindelwald and they assured, there were no more attacks.
The culprit who caused three attacks in a row, the monster that "sucked blood...... It was as if he was directly deterred by the speech of Principal Grindelwald in the auditorium at that time, and he no longer dared to act rashly.
At first, everyone was scared, but after a few days of continuous movement...... The students of Hogwarts have also regained their natural instincts.
Headmaster Greenwald did not break his promise, he remained at Hogwarts, and he has barely left in recent times.
Matthew could be seen at the Guest of Honour in the Great Hall at breakfast, lunch, and dinner with Professors Sprout, Flitwick, and Slughorn.
According to some of the older students, this kind of thing is actually very rare...... In the past few years, Professor Grindelwald has always been a busy man, and usually rarely stays in the school, except for special moments such as the opening party, Halloween dinner, and Christmas dinner.
Probably due to the previous attack.
However, it has to be said that Hogwarts was able to get back on track in a very short period of time, and it also has something to do with the frequent haunting of Professor Grindelwald.
......
However, the counterpart of Rector. Grindelwald, Vice-Chancellor, Professor Vita Rozier, has never appeared.
This is not quite in line with what she has always been used to.
It was another Friday afternoon, and the wind was howling outside the castle, and the rain was falling fiercely.
The hallways and classrooms were so dark that I had to light more torches and lanterns.
Matthew habitually took his textbook and walked into the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom.
He looked up, and then was slightly stunned—
The teacher on the podium was not Professor Rozier, but the Transfiguration teacher, Professor Troca.
"Alright, everyone's almost here!" Professor Troka said, glancing at the students present, "Our class can probably start as well." ”
A hand was raised in the air.
"What's the matter, Miss Granger?" Professor Troka nodded to the name of the child who had raised his hand.
"What about Professor Rozier?" asked Hermione Granger as she hurriedly stood up.
"Professor Rozier has been injured and her classes will be temporarily taken care of by Professor Slughorn, Professor Travers and me, with the first-year class being given to me. Professor Troka did not get angry, but replied calmly.
Matthew frowned, and he quickly raised his hand.
"Mr. Wakefield?" Professor Troka nodded again.
Matthew also stood up, "Is Professor Rozier injured? Is it related to the attack that Miss Adams and Mr. Caro encountered?"
As he spoke, Matthew's mind was reminded of Professor Rozier's limping that night.
"There may be a factor in the specific situation. Professor Troka replied calmly, "I'm sorry, I can't reveal too much ......."
"So...... When will she be back?" Matthew continued.
"It should take a while, maybe a month, I can't guarantee it. Professor Troka said.
"Okay, thank you, Professor. Matthew sat back down.
Hermione Granger, who was still standing there, said a little nervously, "Then the course paper that Professor Rozier assigned us in the last class asked us to complete in two weeks......
"You can wait for Professor Rozier to come back and give it to her, I don't think I'll be in charge of that anyway. Professor Troka smiled.
"Great!" There was a burst of cheers from the podium.
"Oh, no. Hermione looked disappointed and said, "I'm done!"
Matthew frowned, he had already finished writing the paper, but it wasn't what he was worried about.
Grindelwald returns, the vice-principal who quietly disappears, and the sudden halt of the attack......
Is there a connection between these three?
"Now, we're officially starting class......" Professor Troka said from the podium, flipping through his textbook, "Please turn to page 69 of your Guide to Dark Magic: Self-Defense......"
They had a very enjoyable Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson.
Professor Troka seems to have some research on this as well, at least more than enough to teach first-year students.
And the atmosphere in his class is much more cheerful, while Professor Rozier's class has always been a bit depressing.
......
The bell rang for the end of class, and everyone packed up their things and walked out the door, and Matthew was among them, but—
"Matthew, wait a minute!" Hermione Granger of Ravenclaw, shouted his name in the distance.
Matthew could vaguely guess what Hermione wanted to say to him. It's just that he doesn't really want to, he focuses on that thing, and he doesn't really want to discuss it.
So he pretended to be in the midst of the cacophony of voices, didn't hear it, and walked out of the classroom without looking back.
Miss Granger scurries towards him as she collides with Slytherin's Agnes Lestrange.
"I'm sorry!I'm sorry!" she quickly apologized.
But when he looked up, Matthew Wakefield was gone.
He was already on his way back to the Slytherin common room.
