Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 199: Skynet recovers
Chapter 203 Skynet Recovery
The three of Matthew are still chatting in low voices——
Before Neville finished his previous sentence, suddenly, a mysterious wizard dressed in black kicked open the door of this very remote teahouse, and broke in without any scruples.
The proprietor of the teahouse, a wizened old wizard, was still there smoking a cigar, completely unresponsive; as if this had long been commonplace.
Neville quickly shut his mouth, but the fierce black-clothed wizard had already moved towards him.
Hermione and Neville looked at each other in surprise.
The black-clothed wizard glanced at the three of Matthew suspiciously, as if slightly surprised by their age.
But soon, he regained his composure and roared fiercely:
"You guys, what are you talking about here?"
The whole teahouse was suddenly silent.
With the intrusion of the wizard in black——
The scattered wizards drinking tea threw the silver Sickles and copper nuts on the table one after another, and then left this place of right and wrong as if avoiding the plague god.
It was the cigar-smoking old wizard and the owner of the teahouse who began to stand up, taking his time from table to table, and put the silver coins and copper coins into his pockets.
"We were just chatting..." Seeing the unexpected guest in front of him, Neville quickly stood up and argued.
"Chat?" The wizard in black sneered, then shook his hand.
Several rusty iron chains appeared on the tea table in front of them.
"I don't understand..." Neville was still trying to play dumb.
"What did you guys talk about just now, let's talk about it in detail when we get to Azkaban!" the black-clothed wizard roared viciously.
Then, without any explanation, he grabbed Neville's wrist.
…
Hermione saw that something was wrong, and one of her hands had quietly reached for the wand at her waist.
But Matthew held his hand in time.
Hermione glanced at Matthew suspiciously, only to see Matthew shook his head slightly at her calmly.
Then, Matthew also stood up and walked towards the intruder.
"What are you going to do?" The black-clothed wizard glared at the boy suspiciously.
At the same time, his wand was aimed at Matthew Wakefield's chest.
"Sir, we're really just talking about something irrelevant..." Matthew took a few steps back, signaling that he was not hostile.
At the same time, he took out a thumping money bag from his pocket.
"Please trust us!" He said very "sincerely": "We are just Hogwarts students, and we may have accidentally talked about some inappropriate topics... But I can swear that we have no malicious intentions , please trust us..."
While speaking, he quietly handed the money bag full of Galleons to the wizard in black "respectfully".
The wizard in black took the money bag and seemed to be weighing the amount in it.
Hearing the sound of gold coins coming from inside, he nodded with some satisfaction.
"That's right!" He said slowly, "They're all just ordinary students, and they won't do anything against the wizard's will like those members of the Order of the Phoenix..."
"That's natural!" Matthew hurriedly echoed, while laughing along with him.
"Leave it alone!" The black-clothed wizard waved his hands in a very "generous" manner, and at the same time said with "sincerity": "Remember to pay attention to your words in public places in the future, and don't say things you shouldn't say. Say it!"
Matthew listened to the other party's "teaching" with a very humble appearance.
Put the money bag into his pocket, and the wizard in black glared fiercely at the shriveled teahouse owner.
The owner of the teahouse had already bowed his head over there, not knowing what to look at... as if everything that happened in front of him had nothing to do with him.
…
After the fierce wizard in black left the teahouse, Matthew, Neville and Hermione breathed a sigh of relief.
"What the **** is going on here!" Neville collapsed on the chair with relief, he just looked a little frightened.
"Probably we triggered some forbidden words!" Matthew lowered his voice and explained calmly: "Do you still remember the experience of Draco Malfoy in the first grade, when he was in Hogwarts? When I heard the word 'mudblood', I had to be sent to the school hospital; it should be a kind of magic..."
"...Recall what we just said, what they don't want us to publicize..." Matthew added.
"I see, could it be—" Hermione suddenly realized.
But Matthew shook his head at her in time, and she quickly covered her mouth, not saying the forbidden words again.
The three of them suddenly fell into a brief silence again.
"What should we do in this situation?" Neville asked in a low voice.
"What else can I do, just bear with it!" Matthew spread his hands, and said with some uncertainty, "However, people's words are scary, and wizards' mouths can't be blocked in this way. We'll wait and see, there will always be some changes."
Both Neville and Hermione nodded thoughtfully.
…
It's not good to stay in the teahouse any longer.
The three paid the difference one after another and walked out of the teahouse.
The wizened teahouse keeper, taking a few Sickles from them, returned to the counter to continue smoking his cigars.
Out of the teahouse, Hermione suddenly remembered something.
Then, she looked at Matthew with a weird look.
"What's the matter?" Matthew felt a little terrified at the sight of her.
"Could you have robbed Gringotts, Matthew..." Hermione asked in a low voice, "Where did you get so much money?"
The heavy purse given to the wizard in black just now contained at least a hundred Galleons... Matthew was just an ordinary Muggle-born student, Now working as a temporary worker in Hogsmeade, there are so many gold coins...
"It's very simple..." Matthew smiled at her with some complacency~IndoMTL.com~He leaned close to Hermione's ear and whispered, "Because I've been prepared for a long time... all I need is a simple one." Transfiguration can change the appearance and weight of a Copper Knut to be exactly the same as that of Galleon... Of course, since there is no anti-counterfeiting mark of the fairy, if he uses it, it will definitely be seen through !”
"That would be discovered!" Hermione looked anxious.
"If you are discovered, you will be discovered!" Matthew shook his head indifferently, and asked:
"Is it possible that he still dares to publicize this matter?"
"This..." Hermione didn't know what to say.
"Stop talking on the street, let's go!" Matthew waved to the two friends.
Then, the three of them disappeared on the streets of Diagon Alley.
