Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 127: Elaine

Latest URL: The last class on Friday afternoon is still herbal medicine class.

As Professor Sprout announced the dismissal of get out of class, the second-year students of Slytherin and Hufflepuff finally breathed a sigh of relief, and stopped the repetitive operation of filling dragon dung into flower pots for fertilization.

They left the greenhouse one after another. This also means that the week-long course is finally over, and they have a two-day short break.

Malfoy, Nott, and Crabbe rushed towards the castle with their bodies covered in mud... They looked anxious and didn't know what they were planning.

As for Matthew, he returned to the common room unhurriedly, took a brief shower, and then rushed to the library.

Because it is already the weekend, there are not many students in the library.

However, a few familiar faces can still be found, such as Miss Hermione Granger, who is lying on a table in the library, seemingly writing a thesis...

Greeting hello to a few acquaintances, Matthew quickly disappeared behind the bookshelf.

…

It was not until the sky outside the window was completely dark that Matthew looked away from the book in his hand.

At this moment, there are not many people left in the library, and it is not too early to turn off the lights.

As he returned the book to its original place, Matthew hurried back to the Slytherin common room.

The journey went very smoothly, except that when he passed by the gate of the castle, he suddenly felt a biting chill from the bottom of his heart. The chill seeped into his skin, into his chest, and even into his heart...

Matthew hurriedly quickened his pace, and then glanced at the gate with some fear.

Probably at night, the dementors started to move around the campus... he thought to himself.

But when he returned to the door of the Slytherin common room, Matthew encountered another "interesting" thing.

A girl who seemed to be very young, she was wearing a Slytherin robe... At the same time, she was sitting curled up on the floor at the door of the common room with her head tilted.

When she heard Matthew's footsteps, she stood up quickly, overjoyed.

"What's going on?" Matthew looked at her in surprise.

For a while, he suddenly felt that the little girl in front of him looked a little familiar.

"Thank God, someone finally came back." The girl said with a bit of tears: "Sorry, I can't remember what the password is, and I can't go back to sleep... Usually I come back with my friends... I've been outside for almost half an hour..."

This is a bit strange, and this is the first time Matthew has encountered such a situation; but it may also be because he usually returns less often late.

"The password is 'pure blood'." Matthew said: "Check the bulletin board, it will be clearly written there, and it will only be changed every two weeks under normal circumstances."

As Matthew shouted the password, the giant snake on the stone gate began to move slowly, and the gate opened.

"Thank you." The girl said gratefully: "I will write down every password on a note in the future, and then bring it with me..."

Matthew was stunned.

After hesitating for a moment, he took the initiative to say: "Actually, I don't recommend you to do this."

"Why?" The girl gave him a puzzled look.

"Because if you do this, and then lose that note," Matthew explained, "then all passwords to the Slytherin common room will be made public... you know, according to the rules It is not allowed to bring students from other colleges to our common room and tell them our password. Moreover, our common room has not let outsiders in for seven hundred years”

"In addition, if some lawbreakers get the password, it may have very bad consequences." Matthew added.

"Yeah, I understand." The girl nodded quickly: "By the way, sir, what's your name?"

"Wakefield, Matthew Wakefield." Matthew said simply.

"Thank you again, Mr. Wakefield." She waved to Matthew politely.

"My name is Shafik, Elaine Shafik!" After saying that, she ran towards the girls' dormitory.

Matthew froze suddenly.

He finally understood why he felt that this girl looked familiar.

Because she and Mr. Shafik, the manager of Lihen Bookstore, do have some similarities in appearance.

As he lowered his head to think about something, Matthew returned to his bedroom.

…

The next morning, Matthew "coincidentally" met Miss Elaine Shafik again.

She was standing at the gate of the castle, looking out, in a daze.

And Matthew looked around, and happened to see a few black shadows drifting by in the distance.

"Miss Shafik!" He reminded softly.

The girl seemed to be taken aback. After seeing Matthew, she was slightly relieved: "Hello, Mr. Wakefield."

"What's the matter?" Matthew asked very "concerned", "I see that you look preoccupied."

"I saw a dementor when I passed by here just now," the little girl's voice was quite disappointed, "It reminded me of my father...he may be with a dementor now..."

"Your father?" Matthew asked in a rhetorical tone calmly.

Then, he suddenly made a fuss and asked, "Could it be that your father is Mr. Shafik, the manager of Lihen Bookstore?"

"Yes." Elaine Shafik bowed her head with a little inferiority.

"Sorry..." Matthew said softly.

The girl seemed to hesitate for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "Dad...he should be innocent..."

"Yeah!" Matthew nodded thoughtfully~IndoMTL.com~Do you believe him, Mr. Wakefield? "Eileen looked very happy and very excited, "My friends are all that he deserved what he deserved, the evidence is conclusive..."

"It's also possible that he was framed by someone!" Matthew said seriously, "I've been to the Lihen Bookstore, and I've also had contact with your father. I don't think he's a bad guy..."

"Yeah!" The little girl nodded desperately, "Someone must be framing him!"

"Then Miss Shafik." Matthew made a very concerned expression, "If someone framed him, I think it must be a wizard who has a close relationship with him...Usually, your father often Who should I contact, maybe this can help him clear his grievances!"

A troubled expression suddenly appeared on Elaine's face: "This... I don't seem to remember..."

"It's okay, think about it!" Matthew patted her on the shoulder.

"Yeah!" The little girl nodded innocently and romantically.
