Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 23: Forbidden words

Ten minutes later, Matthew Wakefield walked out of Hogwarts Castle along the marble steps.

With the end of the last Defense Against the Dark Arts class, the first week of classes at Hogwarts ended like this.

Although there are still almost five feet of course papers, which are still waiting for him to finish at the weekend.

To be honest, Matthew still likes this kind of life, which is compact and fulfilling without being too tired.

Lying in bed every night, thinking about the harvest of the day, there is nothing more satisfying than this.

……

Walking down the stone steps aimlessly, Matthew walked slowly to the greenhouse between the castle and the Forbidden Forest before he knew it.

Actually, he didn't like the atmosphere of the Slytherin common room very much, it was too depressing.

The aquatic creatures outside the dormitory window are also extremely boring.

God knows why the Sorting Hat sorted itself into Slytherin?

Obviously any other house is more suitable for me than Slytherin!

Matthew looked around while thinking.

The air by the greenhouse is very fresh, with a nice earthy fragrance. In the sky, the white clouds wandering in the blue sky have been dyed red by the afterglow of the setting sun, and the sun is gradually approaching the horizon...

Suddenly, Matthew stopped quickly.

There seems to be someone in front——

It was two adult wizards. They were in a corner of the greenhouse, with their backs to Matthew's side, and they seemed to be talking about something.

One of the wizards held a limp dead chicken in his left hand, wearing a dragonskin glove.

Judging from the three iconic prosthetic limbs, the identity of the other party is undoubtedly the teacher of Hogwarts' Protection of Magical Animals class: Professor Kettleburn.

"This is the third chicken that has been attacked in the last week, and its blood has been sucked dry!" Professor Kettleburn said over there: "It must not be a weasel? Because none of the birds and snakes I raised Found the real culprit. Weird, isn't it? What do you think about that?"

"Yeah, it's quite strange!" Another voice calmly replied: "Maybe it's a vampire?"

It was Professor Troka's voice, and Matthew frowned.

"That's what I thought too. I have to talk to Professor Rozier. There may be a colony of vampires migrating in the Forbidden Forest." Professor Kettleburn's voice suddenly became excited, and he waved his hands The prosthetic limb in the middle: "Maybe she can allow me to go to the depths of the Forbidden Forest to destroy those guys' lairs!"

"Then I may not be able to accompany you, Silvanos." Professor Troka shook his head: "Ms. Rozier has always had some prejudice against me."

"That's her character." Professor Kettleburn replied, "But if you get along with her for a long time, you will find that she is actually a very nice person, and you will definitely like her!"

"Maybe." Professor Troka said with a smile.

"Then I will take my leave."

"Goodbye!"

The two professors in front, went their separate ways in different directions... They didn't find a boy in the corner who overheard their entire conversation.

Matthew lowered his head in thought while slowly returning to the castle.

……

"Wakefield!" Just as Matthew returned to the steps of the castle again, a familiar voice suddenly shouted his name behind him.

Matthew turned around and saw three familiar faces of Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle.

"Malfoy?" Matthew looked at his roommate.

The other party looked at him arrogantly, as if he had grasped something about him.

"What's the matter?" Matthew continued to ask.

"Hahaha, I've already found out!" Malfoy laughed and said, "Your parents are the most common Muggles... When I asked you at the school opening banquet, you actually told me , Your parents have passed away..."

"I just said at the time that I can't remember what they look like, which is the truth." Matthew replied calmly: "But you are right, they are indeed Muggles."

As a Muggle-born wizard, it is difficult to keep this "secret" for too long, Matthew knows very well.

After all, there are several people in Hogwarts, such as Penelope, Neville, and Hermione, who know their origins, and sooner or later they will be passed on to the ears of Slytherin students.

He just didn't want to conflict with other Slytherin students because of such boring things. After all, Slytherin has always advertised as a pure-blood house.

That's why I have been avoiding talking about this matter.

"I think the Sorting Hat must have mistaken you and Zabini!" Malfoy continued laughing, "How can a wizard of your origin be worthy of a noble Slytherin? Go to Hufflepuff!"

"Maybe..." Matthew nodded. In fact, he also felt the same about the mistake of the Sorting Hat.

"That's it?" Looking at Malfoy and his two followers who were laughing together, he asked calmly, "Is there anything else?"

"Farewell, then!" He turned around, ready to return to the Slytherin common room.

Looking at the back of Matthew leaving, Draco Malfoy suddenly felt offended:

"Stop it, you vile Mudblood!"

"Draco... Draco..." Malfoy had just finished speaking ~IndoMTL.com~ Crabbe and Goyle couldn't help but scream in panic.

Then, only a "pop" was heard.

Matthew turned around, and then he saw a very interesting scene——

Draco Malfoy fell to the ground, and at the same time, half of his face was swollen and high.

It was as if someone had slapped this side of the face severely.

And it's not over yet!

There was another "pop".

The other side of Draco Malfoy's face became red and swollen instantly.

It was as if someone was wearing an invisibility cloak and was slapping him hard.

"What's going on?" Matthew was a little stunned.

"Smack... slap... slap..." Slap after slap, they slapped Malfoy's face invisible.

One side, very rhythmic.

He tried to lower his head to cover his mouth, but was soon pulled up by an invisible force, and his arms were also pulled away.

"Slap!" Another slap.

Matthew suddenly remembered something...that was a sentence that Principal Grindelwald said at the opening banquet:

"Insulting names such as **** and mudblood are strictly prohibited in Hogwarts! If you don't believe this, you might as well try it."

Probably after five or six slaps on both sides of Malfoy's face.

This punishment is finally over.

Crabbe and Goyle quickly supported Malfoy.

And Malfoy, whose entire face was smacked out of human shape, tried to open his mouth, but he couldn't make any sound.

Matthew couldn't help but smiled happily, looking at the three people who were fleeing in a hurry.

He suddenly liked this Hogwarts a little bit.
