Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 141: He is in Hogsmeade
"How is it possible!" Mr. Rosmerta suddenly shouted.
However, he soon realized that such noise would not have a good effect in the bar, so he quickly lowered his voice: "This is unbelievable..."
Mr. Rosmerta continued: "...I have heard of many wizards who eventually turned bad, but those people like James Potter also turned bad, which I did not expect at all... If you told me that they would end up in Azkaban when they were in school, I would definitely say that you drank too much!"
"But it is so!" Slughorn muttered:
"Rosmerta, maybe you still remember the situation before Principal Grindelwald came to Hogwarts..."
"Merlin's beard!" Mr. Rosmerta seemed to be frightened, and he quickly lowered his voice again, "Mr. Professor Slughorn, you can't just talk about what happened at that time...you must be Too much to drink! At that time, this bar was still calling a broom..."
Matthew couldn't help being more grateful for Hermione's pair of gadgets, especially the "button bug. Listening. Device"——
The conversation between Slughorn and Rosmerta became quieter; Matthew even suspected that Miss Elaine Shafik, who was beside them, might not be able to hear their conversation clearly ...
But because the "button bug" is glued to the back of Slughorn's chair and has a certain amplification function, Matthew can barely hear it clearly.
"No... I'm not drunk..." Slughorn retorted: "Before Principal Grindelwald came to Hogwarts, there were many people in Hogwarts who opposed him...and, the real leader The opponents were Albus Dumbledore, the dean of Gryffindor College at the time and the teacher of Transfiguration at Hogwarts..."
"...Later... Later Dumbledore failed and he was sent to prison, but his will to resist still remained in Hogwarts...especially in Gryffindor College... "
"You mean..." Mr. Rosmerta's voice became a little trembling, "James Potter and the others... were imprisoned in Azkaban... because..."
"...Yes, James Potter and the others conspired to overthrow Principal Grindelwald's rule, and planned to rescue Albus Dumbledore from the Nurmengard tower where he was imprisoned. Come out..." Slughorn suddenly smiled, "A group of innocent children, there is no doubt that they failed in the end..."
"...someone betrayed them, but before they were captured, a spy hiding in Hogwarts at that time warned them...they all escaped, and Potter's secret knowledge of Hogwarts Dao is very familiar... Hogwarts later declared that they violated school rules and expelled them all..."
"Ton ton!"
There was the sound of drinking again, and Matthew suspected that Slughorn's face must have turned red.
Then, Slughorn's voice sounded again: "But after all, they are just grown-up students, not even graduated from Hogwarts; they are no match for those well-trained Aurors... However, they performed really well, avoiding the pursuit of the Ministry of Magic for several years...but they were finally caught..."
"...There is only one person, always at large!" Slughorn's voice suddenly became a little more proud:
"Lily Evans! You should remember that charming girl."
"Of course," Mr. Rosmerta seemed to nod, "I remember James Potter and Severus Snape, and they often fought because of her..."
"...Yes, beautiful, smart, and sensible..." Slughorn added, "It's a pity that it went astray in the end..."
"...I was very optimistic about her at the beginning, but it turns out that I didn't miss her in the end!"
"Then... what is the connection between Potter and the others and the fugitives from Azkaban?" Mr. Rosmerta continued to ask, his voice suddenly changed: "Could it be that... those few people The fugitive...could it be..."
"That's right..." Slughorn said mysteriously, "Don't spread this news, even in the Ministry of Magic, few people know their identities, because they conspired at Hogwarts The event of overthrowing Principal Grindelwald was strictly kept secret... The Aurors stationed in Azkaban Island of the Ministry of Magic, Gadwin Robards and I have always had a good relationship, he told me secretly... ..."
"Of course! Definitely!" Mr. Rosmerta seemed to be nodding repeatedly.
Mr. Rosmerta seems to be muttering to himself: "That is to say...the reason why the Ministry of Magic sent so many Aurors and so many dementors to defend Hogwarts...is because... The three of Potter, Black, and Pediru...they want to..."
"There is no doubt about it!" Slughorn continued ~IndoMTL.com~ They escaped from Azkaban, obviously wanting to continue the terrible plan fifteen years ago...and this can prove that, Fifteen years ago, they made a discovery at Hogwarts! "
"Merlin's beard...Merlin's beard...Merlin's beard..."
Mr. Rosmerta seemed to be frightened, and muttered over there, "These things are terrible! Professor Slughorn, please don't say any more!"
"I only know so much." Slughorn said indifferently.
…
Mr. Rosmerta seemed to walk away. As a small bar owner, he obviously didn't dare to continue discussing these things.
And Matthew, still in his mind, was digesting what Slughorn had just said.
There is no doubt that there is a lot of information in it.
But soon, Slughorn's voice came out of his little ear again: "Little Elaine, I'm sorry for neglecting you, I just went to talk to Rosmerta..."
"...By the way, you said earlier that you wrote to your mother and found out about the people your father contacted last..."
"Yes." Elaine Shafik's innocent voice that day came from her little ears: "Before my father was imprisoned in Azkaban, it seemed that he had been with two people many times, one was Mr. Lucius Malfoy... there is another one, my father never said his name..."
"Is that so..." Slughorn said gently, "Then...the person who cannot be mentioned by name, where do you send the letter to him?"
Matthew immediately pricked up his ears, another key message is coming...
"I know that," Miss Shafik said crisply, "He's in Hogsmeade!"
Matthew's complexion suddenly changed.
The soft little ear in the hand also lost its grip for a moment and fell to the ground.
