Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 145: Reinforcements

At the same time, in the Two Broomsticks bar——

"The buttons are still here, Hermione!" Neville Longbottom whispered, "It's a good thing we didn't lose them!"

He looked around cautiously, and then, taking advantage of the people around him not paying attention, he quietly picked the button off the back of the bench and put it in his pocket.

"Let's go!" said Neville.

Hermione Granger didn't answer, and followed behind him with some thoughts, and the two walked out of the Two Broomsticks just like that.

"Here." Neville didn't hand the button to Hermione until he left the bar:

"Let's go to Honeydukes, we can help Matthew pick some candy in advance..."

Before Neville finished speaking, Hermione suddenly shook her head worriedly.

She pursed her lips, and said, "No, Neville... I feel that Matthew's tone and expression at that time... are very strange..."

"Strange?" Neville was taken aback for a while, and at the same time he patted his head foolishly, "It's a bit strange when you think about it... Matthew is not usually so fierce..."

"Yes," Hermione nodded again, "it seems that he... was trying to drive us away on purpose..."

"Drive us away..." Neville couldn't help becoming more confused.

"Yes... that's right... definitely..." Hermione used three modal particles in a row, "Just to drive us away...Maybe Matthew heard something dangerous in my bug The information... in order to prevent it from reaching us, he drove us away..."

Her voice trembled a little.

"Damn it!" Neville quickly reacted, and he said decisively, "Let's go back quickly... No matter how big the danger is, we can't let Matthew carry it alone!"

With that, he was about to run towards the Shrieking Shack.

"Wait, Neville!" said Hermione suddenly.

At the same time, she reached out and grabbed him.

"What are you waiting for, Hermione..." Neville said anxiously, "If you don't hurry back, it will be too late..."

"No... wait... Neville..." The expression on Hermione's face suddenly became calm.

She analyzed softly: "The reason why Matthew drove us away is because he is about to face an opponent that we can't deal with... If we rush back like this, we will only cause him trouble... No... ...Absolutely not..."

She shook her head vigorously.

"If we want to help Matthew... we must help him find a helper, a very powerful helper..."

"Yes, this may be his purpose to drive us away," Hermione Granger said sternly, "Quick, Neville, let's go back to Hogwarts...to find Headmaster Rozier!"

…

Neville and Hermione ran as fast as they could along Hogsmeade Avenue towards Hogwarts.

"Will it be too late..." While running out of breath, Neville said worriedly, "Run back to Hogwarts, and find a way to find Principal Rozier... I don't know what to do in the middle." How much time wasted..."

Hermione frowned, obviously she was also very worried about this, but she didn't say anything.

The two had just crossed Hogsmeade Avenue and came to the path between Hogwarts and Hogsmeade...

At this moment, an adult man walked towards them and almost collided with them.

"Mr. Longbottom, Miss Granger, what's the matter?" The other party said with a gentle face, "You seem to be in a hurry!"

Professor Severus Snape.

The two looked at each other and nodded in unison.

"Professor Snape, hurry up and save Matthew..." Neville said hastily.

"Save...save Matthew?" Professor Snape didn't seem to be able to figure out what was going on.

It's still Hermione who can maintain a certain level of calmness. She speaks quickly and clearly enough.

She told Professor Snape about Matthew's strange behavior on the hillside and her guess that Matthew must be in danger just now.

"You mean...Mr. Wakefield is in crisis right now?" Professor Snape frowned and asked in a leisurely manner.

"It's true, Professor!" Hermione looked very anxious, even tears fell, "Please, come with us quickly..."

Looking at Professor Snape's puzzled expression, they once thought that Professor Snape would think that they were just joking, or that children were thinking too much...

Unexpectedly, Professor Severus Snape nodded solemnly soon:

"Lead the way!"

"Quick, professor...you come with me!" Hermione took the lead and ran back.

…

Five minutes later, the three arrived at the top of the hill where the Screaming Shack was.

The scenery on the hillside is still the same, with yellow fallen leaves flying around, and there are almost no people in sight.

At least Matthew Wakefield isn't here.

"Matthew!" Hermione and Neville shouted anxiously.

No response.

"Is this where you parted before?" Professor Snape asked calmly.

Neville and Hermione nodded quickly.

Professor Snape squatted down quickly, took out his wand, pointed it at the ground, and whispered something softly.

At this moment, Neville and Hermione seemed to see a very anxious figure running towards the hillside.

"It's Matthew!" Hermione screamed, "He ran up the hill...over there...is..."

"It's the Shrieking Shack," Professor Snape replied calmly, "Your guess is right, Mr. Wakefield is in a bit of trouble, otherwise he wouldn't be running over there...go, Miss Granger, let's chase after him!"

After that, he followed the phantom before and ran towards the hillside.

Neville and Hermione followed quickly.

Running all the way, Professor Snape stopped from time to time to check something.

"The fence has been kicked down, and the weeds have been trampled on," he said calmly, "As expected, Mr. Wakefield has been here... Continue to follow me..."

"Professor..." Hermione's voice trembled slightly ~IndoMTL.com~ Going forward... is the Shrieking Shack..."

The Shrieking Shack, after all, is said to be the most haunted house in Britain.

As for Hermione Granger, she was just a little girl who had just turned 13 years old.

"Then go back to Hogsmeade first." Professor Snape nodded.

"No, I'm going to follow..." Hermione seemed to have made up her mind, she nodded.

Then she followed.

…

Three people just broke into the screaming shack.

But the situation inside left them dumbfounded.

It seems that an extremely fierce battle broke out in the whole room, the scattered furniture, the dust that was kicked up, it was very chaotic.

And a huge cave appeared on the floor!
