Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 159: leave early

So, the reason why Horace Slughorn is so enthusiastic is that he insists on inviting himself to the party tonight——

Just because a few of his former students are coming too?

Matthew was very puzzled.

Because he couldn't believe this somewhat unrealistic answer.

No matter what angle he thought about this banquet, he felt that something was not quite right.

…

But even if he thought so, he could only bite the bullet and sit down.

With the addition of these successful wizards, the atmosphere at the Slug Club banquet became more enthusiastic than ever.

Everyone is no longer obediently staying at their own tables as before, but gathered around the new guests——

Hermione Granger ran to find Mr. Wendy Slinka, she seemed to have too many questions, and wanted to ask the author of the book "Defense Against Magic Theory"...

And Neville Longbottom, together with a few Quidditch-loving boys, got close to Gwenog Jones, looking at the captain of the Holyhead Harpies with admiration... ...

There is also that handsome young man named Regulus Black, a group of girls standing next to him chattering, they are curious and excited...

Judging from the current situation, it seems that Regulus Black of this world has not become a follower of Voldemort? But Matthew has some doubts. Does his coming to Hogwarts this time have something to do with his brother Sirius Black in Hogwarts?

Just as Matthew was thinking about what he should do, the easy-going young man from before suddenly came and sat down beside him.

It is Mr. Dirk Cresswell, the young and promising official of the Ministry of Magic... Matthew has some impressions of this name in his memory. He seems to have experienced a life of escape after Voldemort took power in the original book... Therefore, he is probably a Muggle-born wizard...

The same background made him feel kind of welcome.

"Hello, Mr. Cresswell!" He offered to greet.

"I remember your name, it's Wick..." Dirk Cressway looked at Matthew and said.

"Wakefield, sir!" Matthew quickly replied.

"Yes, Wakefield, that's right..." Mr. Cresswell nodded, "I heard Professor Slughorn mention this name... He seems to value you very much..."

Yes, I do value me a lot, but I am afraid that this value and that value may not necessarily be the same thing... Matthew thought to himself.

"Are you working in the goblin liaison office, so don't you come into contact with those goblins every day?" But on his face, Matthew made a very curious look.

"Yes," Mr. Cresswell nodded, and replied, "but the goblins at Gringotts are not easy to deal with. They still seem to control the use of magic, but they don't have any Just wands...they've always thought they were equal to wizards, though we don't think so...and this is after so many goblin rebellions..."

Mr. Cresswell continued: "... goblins, they are greedy, cunning, and arrogant... contacting them, as long as you are not careful, you may be deceived... To be honest, this is not comfortable Errand..."

"So that's how it is..." Matthew had a suddenly realized expression.

They chatted casually like this again.

A few minutes later, Matthew asked casually: "By the way, Mr. Cresswell, are you familiar with our Transfiguration teacher, Professor Severus Snape..."

If Matthew's judgment is correct: From the perspective of age, the difference between this Mr. Dirk Cresswell and the real Snape should not be too big...

"You mean Severus, of course, I am a year younger than him..." Mr. Cresswell replied very easily, "Of course, he is from Gryffindor College, and I It's Hufflepuff's..."

It really is Gryffindor College... Matthew couldn't help but frowned.

"... I haven't seen him much since I graduated from Hogwarts... What, you just said that he was a teacher at Hogwarts, and he was also a teacher of Transfiguration... Unbelievable, I Didn't know about it..." Mr. Cresswell looked slightly surprised.

The two chatted like this for a few minutes.

At this moment, Matthew suddenly saw Elaine Shafik walking over.

Since he began to deliberately distance himself from Horace Slughorn, he also intentionally distanced himself from Miss Shafik.

There are many mysteries about Slughorn, and Shafik, a seemingly innocent little girl, doesn't seem to be bad... and since "Tom Gaunt" was exposed, he doesn't seem to have much more to learn from Shafik. Miss Fick got the news.

After a hasty farewell to Mr. Cresswell, Matthew left there quickly.

…

"Neville!" He came to Neville Longbottom.

Miss Gwenog Jones, captain of the Holyhead Harpies, is a tall, dark-skinned witch.

She was talking passionately about how she represented the Welsh team two years ago and participated in the Quidditch World Cup as a batsman... which caused bursts of cheers from the boys around.

"Neville...Neville..." Matthew managed to divert Neville's attention.

"What's the matter, Matthew?" Neville asked eagerly.

"My stomach suddenly hurts. If Professor Slughorn asks where I have been, just say I went to the bathroom..." Matthew said calmly.

"Okay, I see." Neville replied hastily, and then shifted his gaze to Miss Gwenog Jones.

Obviously, Matthew already felt that trying to get Neville and Hermione to leave this dinner early was somewhat unrealistic.

But he himself is ready to slip ahead of time...

Pretending to pour mead, he arrived at the door of the Potions office.

Seeing Slughorn and other familiar faces out of sight—

Without hesitation, Matthew opened the door of the office ~IndoMTL.com~ and walked out quickly.

The air in the corridor is also cool, and at the same time, people can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He made up his mind that if anyone asked him, he would say he was going to the bathroom.

…

The plan to "leave early" went very smoothly.

It seems that no one noticed, and no one chased from behind...

The teachers and students in Slughorn's office didn't seem to realize that there was one missing among them.

Matthew walked alone in the corridors of Hogwarts, and now he felt much more relaxed.

Suddenly, in the corridor ahead, there seemed to be the sound of high heels stepping on the floor——

The familiar footsteps also caused Matthew's expression to change slightly.
