Chapter 135: The Truth
"Damn it? Draco Malfoy damn it?"
Seeing this line of words, Matthew couldn't help but be stunned.
In fact, near the end of the Dueling Club, he vaguely guessed something: it might have been this book that controlled him to attack Draco Malfoy at that time.
It's just that he didn't expect that this book would admit this matter so neatly, and then give such a "reasonable" reply.
Matthew hurriedly wrote with some interest:
"Why do you say he deserves to die?"
The ink shimmered on the paper for a few more moments, and then his strange green handwriting appeared in front of him again:
"You'll find out soon. ”
I'm actually starting to play dumb riddles with myself...... Matthew suddenly laughed.
Honestly, after the last year or so......
Although Matthew still has no idea about the origin and abilities of this book.
But at least, he summed up some patterns:
That is, under normal circumstances, it does not hurt itself......
And sometimes, it even takes the initiative to protect itself......
In fact, if it really wanted its own life, it could have done so many times in the past year or so, after all, it was too weak in the face of its power.
But instead of doing this, it has been carrying out some "live" behaviors-
Last September, for example, Draco Malfoy tried to blame himself, but was stopped by the book...... Otherwise, if he really became a "thief", his life at Hogwarts would not be so easy.
And in February of this year, when he was about to go to Morgana, the book was also trying to stop his own actions, indeed, Morgana was a very, very dangerous character, and his original behavior, if not considering Grindelwald's layout, was no different from looking for death.
In a sense, the book doesn't harm anything about Matthew (other than the fact that it once killed a toad).
Because of these...... So a few months ago, when confronted with Professor Gellert Grindelwald, Matthew was able to tell everything about the book.
With Grindelwald's bearing, he certainly wouldn't mind doing himself a small favor and completely exorcizing this mysterious dark magic item...... Something of this level is extremely tricky for ordinary wizards, but for wizards like Grindelwald, it may not be invulnerable.
But Matthew ultimately chose not to say anything.
In the final analysis, even if you raise a toad, you can raise it for a year.
Whatever the purpose of the book, at least he had been with him for so long and there was no attempt to hurt him, and Matthew finally decided that it would be better to wait and read it.
Not to mention, the relationship between him and the book now can be said to be peaceful coexistence and mutual harm.
If you really do something very hostile, how can you guarantee that this book will not "jump off the wall" at that time, resulting in "lose-lose" for both sides!
He didn't want to see that "ending".
......
Matthew closed the book and put it back in the drawer.
Since it says it will find out soon, let's wait.
As soon as the drawer was closed, there was a sudden sound of messy footsteps outside the door.
Then, the door to the dormitory was pushed open.
Draco Malfoy: They returned, and Malfoy's head was still wrapped in gauze, and blood could be faintly seen on the gauze.
Crabbe and Goyle, one on each other, supported Malfoy.
As for Theodore Nott, he followed them.
The four men at the door, and Matthew in the house, looked at each other like this.
Matthew clearly noticed that the eyes of the four of them were full of fear and awe, and they were all trying to avoid their own eyes.
The whole bedroom was completely silent.
The vibe has become even more quirky.
"Good evening!" said Matthew slowly.
"Matthew ......" Draco Malfoy was the first to break the silence in the bedroom, his voice trembling, as if he was pressing the fear in his heart,
"Sorry...... I'm sorry...... I beg you to ...... We know it's wrong...... We don't dare anymore...... Please forgive us......"
Malfoy's voice was a little incoherent, sounding like gibberish.
Malfoy wasn't alone, but Noether, Crabbe, and Goyle, they all bowed their heads in fear.
They all looked like they wanted to get down on their knees......
Matthew couldn't help but blink.
He suddenly understood!
......
Why have Malfoy been hiding from themselves all this time?
Why did the book manipulate itself to take advantage of the "practice" of the dueling club to attack Malfoy fiercely?
Why does that book say Malfoy "deserves to die"?
The general truth seems to be clear at a glance.
Despite the real details, nowhere are they known today.
Obviously, Malfoy, Noether, Crabbe, and Goyle, who are from pure-blood families, can no longer tolerate a "lowly" "mudblood" who continues to ride on their heads and "oppress" them in the school after a summer vacation outside of school (perhaps in Malfoy's eyes).
So they've been secretly planning something since the start of this semester.
Even the so-called confiscation of the Light Wheel 2001 broomstick by Mr. Pringer may be nothing;
Maybe it's a revenge against "Matthew Wakefield", or a way to make a fool of yourself in public......
Although it is not yet known what exactly the plan is for Matthew, there is no need to know.
It's just that, although they have been "kept in the dark" all along, what they do is clearly known by that book.
That's why the book, "filled of righteous indignation", suddenly manipulated himself during the "practice" of the dueling club and launched an attack on Draco Malfoy, causing him to fall to the ground injured.
Malfoy naturally didn't know, Matthew didn't know about his small actions before.
At the moment of being attacked by Matthew, he directly mistakenly thought that their small movements were discovered by Matthew...... And Matthew's dueling club's behavior during "practice" was nothing more than looking for an opportunity to deliberately retaliate.
There is no doubt that the powerful disarming spell that Matthew "used" also gave them a great deterrent.
So as soon as Draco Malfoy returned to his bedroom and saw Matthew, he was so frightened that he confessed everything......
......
Matthew didn't answer, didn't act like he didn't actually know, he just quietly looked at the four people at the door.
It makes them feel furious in their hearts.
