Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 30: After class practice

The situation at dinner was much better than Matthew had imagined.

Mainly because one of the parties, Theodore Knott, had returned from the school hospital.

He also successfully replaced Matthew and became the "focus" of the auditorium.

When the dormitory was "attacked", Nott was much less affected than the other three.

So after only staying in the school hospital for a day and a night, he gradually returned to normal.

Although he has almost no recollection of what happened;

So Madam Pomfrey let him back after she thought that his health was all right.

Just like Matthew's previous treatment, the other students who "watched" Nott were still in an endless stream.

But Nott seems to enjoy this feeling of "being watched", and he responds endlessly over there...

The situation of the other three people is not so optimistic.

Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle, they are still in the school hospital for two weeks.

As for Draco Malfoy, at least he'll have to spend Halloween in the school hospital. It is said that Professor Rozier has invited a friend who is good at extreme magic to come to Hogwarts to help Mr. Malfoy recover as soon as possible.

Matthew is very satisfied with this situation, so at least he doesn't have to hide every meal like he did in the morning and at noon.

The dinner at Hogwarts is relatively simple, the standard one meat and two vegetables.

Welsh lamb, roast potatoes and boiled carrots.

This collocation is said to have been popular for centuries.

Matthew drank some more cream of mushroom soup, but felt that the taste was weird, and then left the auditorium.

……

Go back to the door of the Slytherin common room.

"Blood is thicker than blood!" Matthew touched the head of the giant snake on the door of the common room, and said softly.

The common room was full of people, sitting in those squishy armchairs.

Just as Matthew was about to go back to the dormitory——

"Wakefield!" Someone shouted his name.

It was Pansy Parkinson in the same grade. The girl quickly walked up to Matthew and handed him a piece of parchment at the same time.

"I've been looking for you since noon, and this is your after-school practice form." She said.

"Practice after class?" For Matthew, this is a completely unfamiliar vocabulary.

He took the parchment with a bit of a dull face: "Sorry, can you explain it?"

"This is a new course starting from the second week, every Saturday, once every two weeks." Miss Parkinson explained impatiently.

"Sorry, I don't quite understand... What do you mean, you mean flight lessons?" Matthew frowned and asked.

"What is flying lesson?" This time it was Parkinson's turn to be curious.

"It's... Quidditch..." Matthew said.

"Are you kidding, Wakefield." Parkinson made a very exaggerated expression: "How can an after-school activity like Quidditch become a formal course?"

"..." Matthew smiled awkwardly, and had to continue to ask: "So, what does this after-school practice refer to?"

"As I said before...a new course, starting from the second Saturday, every two weeks!" Pansy Parkinson looked more and more impatient.

"So, what is the content of this course?"

"This is not necessarily the case, different groups have different content."

"There is still a group?" Matthew only felt more confused now.

"According to different colleges, different gender groups... For example, you are in a group with Draco, Crabbe, Goyle, and Nott." Parkinson didn't know that Nott had left the school hospital: " The four of them are still in the hospital, so I can only give it to you..."

Matthew wanted to ask something else, but it was a pity that Miss Parkinson was completely tired of him.

"Okay, please stop asking, I have to go to the auditorium for dinner." She yelled.

After speaking, she left the Slytherin common room without looking back.

……

Matthew Wakefield still stood there with a dazed expression, holding a blank piece of parchment in his hand.

I took a closer look at the parchment, but didn't find any clues on it.

He could only look around the surrounding common room, looking for someone to find out what this "after-school practice" was about.

Matthew was going to find the prefect Gemma Farley, and Efarli's character would definitely explain it to him patiently.

But at this moment, the door of the common room was opened again, and Agnes Lestrange walked in.

After hesitating for a moment, he took the initiative to ask, "Miss Lestrange?"

Agnes stopped in her tracks, and looked suspiciously at Matthew: "What's the matter?"

"I'm sorry~IndoMTL.com~ Matthew said: "I want to inquire about the practice after class..."

"Is that so..." Agnes's speech speed gradually slowed down: "After-school practice is a new course for Hogwarts first-year freshmen that started fifty years ago, replacing The previous flight lessons..."

No wonder Parkinson didn't know about flying lessons before! Matthew suddenly realized.

"According to different colleges, they are divided into two groups of male and female students, and then follow different professors to conduct a practice on Saturday... It may be a day, it may be half a day, or it may even be only half an hour, it depends Which professor's mood that day."

Matthew seemed to understand something, and he continued to ask: "So what about the specific content of the practice?"

"It won't be particularly difficult. For example, if you are assigned to Professor Sprout's group, she will ask you to pick some mushrooms; and if it is Professor Slughorn's group, you will deal with some medicinal materials; of course If it's Mr. Pringle's team, then there's a high probability that they'll be cleaning the castle for a day..."

"Maybe it's to catch Mr. Tang's lice?" Matthew joked.

"Perhaps!" Agnes didn't smile, but said lightly.

"Then how do we know which group we have been assigned to?" Matthew asked again.

Agnes pointed to the parchment in his hand: "Every Friday, this will appear, including which professor, where, and the main content that needs to be borne. Basically every Friday The teaching and content of a practice will be different.”

"Okay, thank you, Miss Lestrange." Matthew said very sincerely.

"You're welcome."

As soon as Agnes Lestrange finished speaking, she turned and left.

The two parted ways.
