Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 130: Comfort
I only heard a "bang"!
Then, the entire auditorium fell silent...
The students of the Dueling Club were very surprised to see what happened on the stage; they looked at the injured Malfoy, then at the stunned Matthew, and then started chatting and discussing.
"Oh, Merlin's beard!"
Professor Flitwick let out a soft cry, hurriedly climbed off the stage, and trotted towards the wall.
As for Professor "Snape", he gave Matthew a slightly surprised look, and then ran to the place where Mr. Malfoy had fallen.
The two professors helped Draco Malfoy up.
Professor Flitwick shouted: "Mr. Malfoy, Mr. Malfoy? Are you all right?"
However, poor Mr. Malfoy, who is already in a coma at this time, is completely unable to respond.
"It's just the Disarming Curse, the injury is not serious," Professor Flitwick quickly made a judgment, "But hitting his head against the wall so hard and bleeding so much, it must be very painful!"
"You take care of the rest of the students, Professor Flitwick," said Professor "Snape" decisively, "I'll take this boy to the school hospital..."
"That's the only way," Professor Flitwick nodded, "Be careful on the road."
Professor "Snape" picked up the injured Draco Malfoy. He walked like flying, and the crowd quickly made way for him.
…
Matthew Wakefield stood on the stage in astonishment.
As Draco Malfoy slammed into the wall hard, those strong negative emotions disappeared in an instant, and his own consciousness returned.
As if everything that happened in my mind just now did not exist at all.
Only the faintly visible bloodstain on the corner of the wall still reminded him.
"What's going on?"
"Who am I?"
"What happened?"
His mind is a mess now.
He lowered his head and looked at the black walnut wand in his left hand. This wand had been with him for more than a year, and he even felt a little strange for a while.
Didn't Garrick Ollivander say that a wand made of black walnut is the most loyal wand, and a wand with a core made of unicorn tail hair is the most stable wand... Why did this happen? Totally out of control phenomenon?
Countless doubts began to circle in his mind.
"Wakefield!" Professor Flitwick, who turned around, saw Matthew standing stiffly on the stage, and quickly waved at him, "Come down, come down, kid!"
Matthew was stunned, and walked off the stage mechanically.
"F...Professor Flitwick..." Matthew opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to explain it.
"Don't be afraid, child!" Professor Flitwick was still as gentle as ever, he was not angry at all, and he patted Matthew's knee lightly.
Matthew quickly bent down and squatted down, looking at the professor at the same level.
"Don't be afraid, it's just an accident," Professor Flitwick continued, "It's normal for such a little accident to occur in a duel, even Mr. Malfoy, I don't think he will blame you, don't be afraid... ...By the way, have you learned and practiced the disarming spell before?"
Matthew shook his head.
"Really!" The dwarf professor obviously raised his eyebrows: "It is the first time to use the Disarming Curse, and you can use such a great power! It can only be said to be an outstanding talent in this area, which is very rare. ..."
"...if only you could have such a talent in Charms class!" He said jokingly again.
"I'm sorry, Professor..." Matthew pursed his lips.
"Okay, don't worry about the little accident that happened just now!" Professor Flitwick climbed onto the stage again, and at the same time waved for everyone to be quiet:
"The practice of our dueling club continues. The next pair of opponents will be on the stage... Remember to be gentle and don't be as heavy-handed as Mr. Wakefield, otherwise our practice will have to end early... ..."
…
Undoubtedly, even an experienced wizard like Professor Flitwick could not detect the strangeness that just appeared in Matthew Wakefield.
Not to mention the students who were watching.
After all, the "Disarming Curse" he used is actually nothing unusual——
Under normal circumstances, a perfectly used Disarming Curse can achieve such a damaging effect. Although there are not many wizards who can do this step.
As for Matthew using it, it doesn't seem surprising. At least Professor Flitwick directly blamed it on talent... After all, Matthew has performed very well in various courses in the past year or so. good.
On the contrary, among the students, many pointed at Matthew... Their eyes were full of envy.
Duel club practice continues.
It happened to Matthew once or twice, when some of the older students got on stage and started using disarming spells on each other.
Professor Flitwick, however, was well prepared by this time to pull students back ~IndoMTL.com~ with a wave of his wand before they hit the wall completely.
In addition, the professor "Severus Snape" who took Malfoy to the school hospital has never appeared again... Although the current practice does not require him much.
After the public rehearsal was completed, everyone began to disperse in the auditorium and practice two-on-two.
When Professor Flitwick asked Mr. Theodore Nott to be Matthew's new partner, Nott shook his head desperately, unwilling at all...and when Matthew noticed that Nott was always there Avoiding his gaze, he seemed to be very scared...
In the end Matthew's partner became Spinnet, a Gryffindor fourth year student.
"How did you do it?" She asked with great interest, "Can you teach me?"
"Sorry..." Matthew smiled wryly, "I don't know how I did it..."
"Okay," Miss Spinnet shook her head regretfully, "Go ahead—"
"Disarm you!"
…
After injuring Draco Malfoy, Matthew kept thinking, should he ask Professor Flitwick what happened to him at that time?
It's just that things like the sudden loss of control of the body are not a good thing at first glance.
Besides, there were too many people in the auditorium, and it was not easy to talk to Professor Flitwick alone without others hearing.
When Professor Flitwick announced that today's content is over——
When Matthew tried to squeeze out from the crowd, he found that Professor Flitwick had already left first, and he was nowhere to be seen.
Matthew had no choice but to walk out of the auditorium dejectedly, and then considered whether to go to the school hospital to visit the injured Mr. Draco Malfoy.
