Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 125: Hello, Matthew
Latest URL: Undoubtedly, this professor "Severus Snape" from Gryffindor College was completely beyond Matthew's expectations.
He has a good temper and almost never gets angry, even when facing some students who have made mistakes.
He also seems to be very warm to people, whether it is with students, colleagues, or even ghosts.
In terms of academics, some of his views are quite "radical", and can even be said to be very risky...
In a sense, this "Severus Snape", whether in appearance, personality or attitude, is almost the exact opposite of the face in his memory.
"Is there anything else, Mr. Wakefield?" Professor "Snape" asked gently while locking the door: "Or, you seem to be preoccupied, what can I do to help you?" Is it?"
"No... no need..." Matthew quickly shook his head and explained, "Sorry sir, I was thinking about something..."
"That's right." Professor "Snape" smiled and patted Matthew on the shoulder: "It's a great button (referring to the button that Matthew turned the beetle into in class), and it was in the first class. To be able to do this is already very good!"
"You are awesome, Professor Snape." Matthew said very humbly.
"This is not a ridiculous compliment. I heard from a friend before that you are very talented in deformation." Professor "Snape" shook his head, and at the same time encouraged: "Work hard..."
"...see you next class." After leaving the last sentence, he walked away.
"Goodbye, Professor." Matthew waved his hand.
When he turned to leave, he was thinking, who is that "friend" that Professor "Snape" just mentioned?
…
After two classes in the morning, there was a period of physical labor in between, and my stomach was already growling with hunger.
Matthew came to the auditorium in a hurry and found that lunch had already started.
On the first day of school, the lunch was still very rich, with stacks of pork chops, beef, and large curly sausages... It seemed that the house elves in the kitchen were also welcoming the students back.
As Matthew stuffed a large piece of pork chop into his mouth, he saw Malfoy, Nott, and Crabbe on the other side, seeming to be discussing something.
"Draco?" Matthew shouted, "What are you doing?"
As soon as Malfoy heard Matthew's voice, he hurried over, holding a piece of parchment in his hand.
Nott, Crabbe and Goyle also surrounded them.
"Hogwarts clubs, students above the second grade are eligible to join..." Draco Malfoy explained: "Matthew, do you have any clubs you are interested in?"
"Society..." Matthew's tone became much calmer.
With some experience in the university in his previous life, he is not very interested in such organizations.
He asked softly: "What are there?"
"There are all kinds of clubs. The big ones have hundreds of members, and the small ones may only have a few people." , and the Muggle Culture Research Group...the choice is very wide.”
"Can I not participate?" Matthew asked calmly.
"No." Theodore Knott on the side suddenly interjected: "According to regulations, second-year students must join at least one club...but for students above third grade, it doesn't matter."
"Okay..." Matthew frowned slightly, and asked softly, "So what have you reported?"
"Draco and I have signed up for the Quidditch Club and the Dueling Club," Nott continued, "I'm still thinking about others..."
"What is the dueling club for?" Matthew suddenly became interested.
"I will teach us some dueling-related content, and there should be a teacher participating..." Nott said excitedly, "Why don't you join Matthew, the dueling club is very popular in Hogwarts of!"
"Sounds a bit useful," Matthew nodded in agreement, "Which teachers will it be... After all, it won't be Professor Rozier, right? Then I dare not participate."
Professor Rozier, the vice-principal, is also the teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts. She is very strict... Logically speaking, organizations like the Dueling Club belong to her "professional".
"Of course not, Principal Rozier doesn't have much time to spare." Nott smiled: "Last year it seemed to be Professor Flitwick, and this year it will probably be him..." Nott said.
"Then sign up for me too!" Matthew said without hesitation, "Just this one."
"No problem!" Nott bent down quickly, and wrote Matthew's name on the parchment.
Malfoy reminded from the side: "The duel club's activity time is every Sunday afternoon, which does not conflict with Professor Slughorn's banquet."
"Okay, thank you, Draco!"
As he continued to eat his lunch, Matthew secretly pondered:
After-school practice every Saturday of even-numbered weeks; plus duel club on Sunday afternoon, slug club party on Sunday night...
The few hours of the weekend seem to have been eroded away.
…
On Monday afternoon, there are no classes for Slytherin students.
Matthew originally planned to go to the library, but after thinking about it, he returned to the Slytherin common room first.
He was the only one in the dormitory, and the dormmates didn't know what they were doing, and Matthew didn't care much about it.
Sitting down on the soft armchair, after hesitating for a moment, Matthew gently opened the drawer of his desk, and at the same time saw a familiar scene——
The book with yellowed paper and an old-fashioned cover has been quietly lying in the drawer.
In other words, it has not moved for more than half a year.
It's amazing...
Matthew thought ~IndoMTL.com~ would follow him when he left Hogwarts during the summer vacation.
However, "things backfired", no matter whether it was in the basement of Lihen Bookstore or in Room 13 of the Leaky Cauldron, he did not find the book.
As if it had lost its magic.
Of course, this must be a good thing, no one wants something to follow him like a ghost.
Since there was no one else in the dormitory, Matthew took the whole book out of the drawer without any scruples.
Turning a page, he picked up a quill pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote:
"Long time no see!"
The handwriting quickly disappeared.
A few seconds later, a line of dark green writing with a very familiar font appeared in front of him:
"Hello, Matthew!"
