Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 43: There are many crises

"Have you heard, Ronald Weasley of Gryffindor, he was also attacked."

"It seems to have been in the school hospital for several days."

"This is the second attack since the beginning of this semester!"

"There are rumors that Hogwarts is no longer safe."

"What should I do, I'm so scared..."

……

Now, almost every corner of Hogwarts is discussing the attack on Weasley.

Panic also spread in the castle of Hogwarts.

Of course, because Professor Rozier blocked the spread of the news with his thunderous wrist, most people didn't know that Weasley was bitten by something on the neck.

So many people habitually infer that Weasley, like Malfoy before him, was attacked by extreme magic items/wizards.

They also believe that this is also the second attack within a month.

Matthew Wakefield walked through the noisy crowd, and heard their discussions from time to time.

Without any fluctuations in his expression, he came to the auditorium.

Just as he sat down, a gray owl slowly flew over, flew to his side, and threw a copy of "Daily Prophet" to Matthew.

Newspapers are not free, of course, and a copy of the "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 is to help Neville complete his thesis on Transfiguration...

The content in the "Daily Prophet" is still not nutritious... The dark wizard Dedalus Diggle was arrested by Aurors in Surrey... The Department of Legal Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic in Badley Barber In Dunton Village, a venue for extreme wizard activities has been seized... The new album "This Tonight" of "Weird Sisters" will be released in two weeks...

Not a single page mentioned the attack on Hogwarts.

Matthew shook his head, tossed the newspaper aside, and began to eat his breakfast.

While eating breakfast, he was thinking——

Now the influence of Hogwarts seems to have greatly exceeded my expectations. Two first-year wizards were attacked, their lives were dying, and their lives and deaths are still unknown. Such big news can be forcibly suppressed.

For so many days, there is no report. You must know that the families of the two victims are all powerful!

The matter of Draco Malfoy came second, and Matthew knew very well that it was caused by that mysterious book.

Since that incident, until now, the book has been away from me for almost a month, as if it never existed...

In a sense, Matthew should thank Mr. Malfoy who is still lying in the school hospital.

And the attack on Ronald Weasley is somewhat important!

Moreover, he is indeed the second victim... The first victim is most likely the unicorn in the Forbidden Forest.

All magical animals as powerful as unicorns were brutally killed by that "murderer".

The reason why Weasley is still alive is probably thanks to Mr. Tang... When the attack happened, Mr. Tang made a lot of 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 from the wound on Weasley's neck, the following conclusions can be drawn——

In the castle of Hogwarts, there is a blood-sucking monster!

It is very powerful, and can easily kill a magical animal of the level of a unicorn, and an adult wizard like Professor Kettleburn will not be its opponent.

And it is extremely cruel, even for first-year students, they will brutally kill them.

To be honest, this is a very bad situation...

Especially the teachers at Hogwarts, they didn't seem to pay much attention to this matter, nor did they take any protective measures visible to the naked eye...

It was as if the two attacks had never happened before.

Is that monster still at Hogwarts?

Will there be a third attack?

Could the new victim be himself?

……

Matthew finished his breakfast with a heavy heart. Taking advantage of the time before class, he walked to the library.

For the past few days, he has been searching the library for monsters related to blood-sucking... especially humanoid creatures.

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 retreat unscathed after many attacks...

He is more inclined, the monster is disguised as a wizard, and it is more likely to be disguised by their side.

Professor Troka is undoubtedly the biggest suspect, and Matthew has been deliberately keeping a certain distance from him recently.

Professor Rozier is also very likely, thinking of the bright red drop of blood-like liquid she saw in her office back then.

Also, could it be other professors, or other students?

Matthew was wandering in front of a row of books, pulling some books out of the shelves aimlessly~IndoMTL.com~ Now he regrets that he didn't start over with the huge book that Hermione lent him back then. Read it carefully at the end... just finished the vampire part, and briefly read about the succubi, and then gave it back to Hermione.

Now that all this time has passed, it's likely that the book won't be with Hermione either.

Before he knew it, Matthew came to the restricted area.

"What are you looking for, kid?"

"Nothing." He replied honestly.

The librarian Mrs. Pince waved a feather duster at him angrily:

"Then you better get out!"

Matthew had no choice but to leave the library in despair.

To find any banned book, there must be a note signed by a certain teacher...

He is now considering whether to make this request to Professor Horace Slughorn.

But Matthew knew very well that if he offered to propose, he would most likely be rejected.

Because although Professor Slughorn seemed to take him seriously, he never mentioned inviting him to join the "Slug" club.

……

Matthew in the corridor looked at his watch, and it was almost an hour before the Charms class started.

Is it time to go to the Charms classroom in advance?

It's better to go back to the auditorium first. After all, there are more people there, and the safety factor should be higher.

Just when Matthew was struggling, he suddenly thought of one thing——

There seems to be a place in the castle that may help him get the book that can only be found in the restricted area!

Merlin bless, that house was not sealed by Principal Grindelwald!

PS: I'm sorry, there are a lot of things tonight, so let's postpone the addition to tomorrow night.
