Chapter 82: The Last Line (Asking for Recommendations)
There was a brief silence in the classroom of the History of Magic class.
Although neither Matthew nor Hermione witnessed the injured Justin Finchrie, Neville's description can still give a sense of the tragic situation.
Not to mention, their secrets were also exposed by the vice principal...... If you continue to follow her, you risk being expelled from Hogwarts!
"What are we going to do?" asked Neville, a little confused.
He looked up and looked at Matthew pleadingly.
"Don't act rashly!" Matthew said with a solemn face.
"What did you find?" Hermione's eyes lit up as she looked directly at Matthew.
"Nope. Matthew quickly shook his head: "I just feel that the next step will be very dangerous...... Very, very dangerous things are going to happen......"
"Then we should stop this!" Neville said, standing up, heroic.
To be honest, Matthew was a little incomprehensible to Neville Longbottom's logic...... Maybe that's why he became a Slytherin and Neville was a Gryffindor, and he probably wouldn't have had such "courage" in his life.
"How can you stop it?" Matthew asked calmly, looking at Neville.
Neville opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment.
"We'll keep tracking ......," Hermione said with some hesitation.
"Since Professor Rozier can find you once, then naturally he will also find you a second time!" Matthew's voice was a little indifferent: "If she discovers you a second time, then she will definitely expel you...... She always does what she says!"
Both Neville and Hermione had a look of fear on their faces at this time.
Perhaps being expelled from Hogwarts was a more terrible thing for them than death!
"Why don't we go to the school hospital?" asked Neville tentatively.
"Don't go to the school hospital!" Matthew said word by word, "Don't!"
"What's going to happen over there?" Hermione looked a little more curious.
Matthew made his tone as flat as he could: "Because it's useless to go, Madam Pomfrey will definitely kick us out...... We don't see anything. β
Obviously, this argument was not convincing, at least not convincing Hermione Granger.
Her brown eyes kept scrolling up and down.
"What the hell to do, Matthew. Neville continued, "We listen to you." β
"I'd suggest you two behave better lately and go back to the common room to avoid further suspicion from Professor Rozier. Matthew said quite earnestly, "Professor Troka, I'll keep tracking...... Professor Rozier, I'll figure it out too!"
"Hmm. Neville nodded, "I see." β
"Hermione?" Matthew asked, looking at Hermione, frowning.
"I see. Miss Granger turned around and replied, pouting at the same time.
......
The three of them returned to the auditorium, and lunch had already begun.
It's just that none of the three of them have a good appetite, especially Neville and Hermione.
And about Justin Finchrie, there was a lot of talk in the whole auditorium, at this moment.
The sudden appearance of the wounded Justin Finchrie by the fountain in the garden, in almost identical condition to Ronald Weasley, who had been attacked at the beginning of the school year, quickly spread throughout the school.
"Crabbe. Matthew gently patted the little fat man next to him on the shoulder and said softly.
"Hey, Matthew, what's the matter?" asked Crabbe, a little silly.
"Didn't you go to Professor Troka today?" asked Matthew.
"Nope. Crabbe shook his head and grinned, "There's a herb class in the morning, and Goyle and I are about to go after lunch!"
As he spoke, he shoved a large chicken leg into his mouth.
"Don't go over today. Matthew said with a serious face.
"Is that so!" Crabbe looked a little happy, "and what about after that?"
"After that, let's talk about it later. Matthew said casually, "Don't forget to contact Goyle." β
"No problem!" Crabbe made an OK gesture.
......
After lunch, Matthew left the auditorium early and headed back to the Slytherin common room.
Hermione and Neville had left late because of some preoccupations, and by the time they were about to leave, it was past one o'clock in the afternoon, and there were few students left in the auditorium.
Miss Granger, in particular, was in a depressed mood.
Neville may not be able to see it, but she can see it clearly:
Matthew Wakefield apparently knew more about the series of attacks, but he just didn't share it with Neville......
Does he look down on himself, or does he think he won't be full of secrets, or does he simply not trust himself......
The more Hermione thought about it, the more angry she felt, and at the same time a little uncomfortable.
"Hermione!"
Even Neville was calling her name behind her, and Hermione didn't hear her for a moment.
Until Neville patted her on the shoulderβ
"Sorry, Neville, I'm getting a little distracted. Looking back, she quickly apologized: "Did you finish lunch so late?"
"yes, I think about things too. Neville smiled, "Let's go back to the common room...... It's lunch break, and there are very few people in the hallway, so you might be in danger if you linger too much. β
Hermione was about to nod her head when her eyes lit up.
She gave Neville a quick look, then quickly ducked behind the door of the auditorium.
At the same time, they heard hurried footsteps.
Then a figure passed through the hallway and then disappeared from their sight.
"It's Professor Trolla!" Neville whispered.
The expression on Hermione's face became even more nervous and excited: "The direction he is going...... It seems to be in the direction of the school hospital!"
"Hermione......" Neville understood what Hermione meant, hesitated for a moment, and then admonished, "Matthew reminded us before...... Don't act rashly today...... Don't even go to the school hospital......"
He also said that he would follow Professor Troka himself, and that he would lose it. Hermione whispered, "We'll have to come along, sort of a favor for Matthew." β
Neville hesitated.
But Miss Hermione Granger had already grabbed him.
"Hurry up, or you'll lose it!"
Anyway, they also ran in the direction of the school hospital!
