Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 41: The first victim

Matthew's complexion changed slightly.

If I remember correctly, Mr. Tang should have taken Crabbe, Goyle, and Ronald Weasley to the prize showroom.

And the prize showroom is much larger than Professor Rozier's office, and it will take at least several times more time to clean up there than here.

But now on my side, the work is just finished.

Then Mr. Tang suddenly reacted so strangely, could it mean...

A bad premonition suddenly appeared in Matthew's heart.

As a Gryffindor full of courage, Neville Longbottom didn't hesitate, dropped the broom in his hand, and ran to where the sound came from.

Harry Evans followed closely behind without hesitation.

But Matthew stood there awkwardly, stunned for a while.

Sighing helplessly, he had no choice but to follow.

After all, if something really happened and stayed here alone, it would be more likely to arouse suspicion!

……

Soon, they found Mr. Tang at the stairs on the first floor,

There are still many students around, although they are retreating a little bit.

"Mr. Tang" was a golden retriever that was fierce in the past, but he always knew how to measure it and almost never hurt anyone.

But now, it is like a mad dog with rabies, it bites anyone it sees.

Several students have already been bitten by it and died.

Mr. Pringle has also heard the news and is trying to subdue it——

It's a pity that Mr. Tang seems to be in a state of renunciation, grinning at its owner for a while, and barking very violently at the same time.

"Don... Don... Don..." Mr. Pringle whispered the dog's name.

But the only answer to him was the barking of dogs.

Pringle looked a little angry, he shouted: "Donald!"

The golden retriever gave a sudden shudder, and Mr. Pringle swooped down and caught him.

As for the onlookers, Matthew couldn't help but chuckle.

"What's the matter?" Neville looked at him curiously.

"In the Muggle world." Matthew could only explain in a low voice: "This is the name of a very famous duck."

"I see." Neville nodded.

Suddenly, he slapped his forehead suddenly, as if he remembered something.

He grabbed Matthew and Evans, bent down, and said softly: "Mr. Tang, it seems that Ron and Matthew's two friends were in charge of cleaning the prize showroom before?"

"It seems so." Matthew nodded.

"Oops!" Neville's face suddenly changed: "Maybe something happened to them, let's go and have a look!"

Without any explanation, he grabbed Matthew Wakefield with one hand and Harry Evans with the other, and ran towards the prize showroom.

In this way, Matthew was held back by Neville, unable to escape.

In desperation, he had no choice but to keep up with Neville's pace as much as possible.

"I think we should contact the teacher." While running wildly, Matthew said out of breath, "If something really happens, we need the teacher's help!"

"You're right!" Neville nodded, "Then Matthew, you are in charge of contacting the teacher. Evans and I will go and see what's going on."

This time, he finally let go.

……

Matthew took a breath, a little thankful that he came up with this idea in a hurry.

If something really happened in the prize showroom, wouldn't Neville Longbottom drag him to give away the head?

I am just a weak and helpless first-year freshman.

He looked around, the teacher's office closest to here...it should be Professor Slughorn?

No, Professor Slughorn is ill...

Then, the nearest one should be Professor Flitwick on the third floor.

Matthew turned his head and prepared to go to the third floor.

As a result, at the first corner, he collided head-on with a witch.

Matthew got up from the ground in a bit of disgrace——

"Wakefield?" the witch said coldly, with some surprise in her voice.

"Ro...Professor Rozier..."

Matthew suddenly realized that he was wrong. Apart from Professor Slughorn, the closest classroom office should belong to Professor Rozier.

"Why are you here?" Professor Rozier asked sharply, and she frowned.

"Because Mr. Tang suddenly had some accidents, became extremely manic, and hurt people at the stairs on the first floor!" Matthew quickly regained his composure, and calmly explained:

"And when we were in Mr. Pringle's room, we heard that Mr. Tang, Crabbe, Goyle, and Weasley from Gryffindor should clean up in the prize showroom... Longbottom is worried There was an accident in the prize showroom, so I rushed over, and I was going to find the teacher...Professor Rozier, why don't you go and have a look?"

"Prize showroom?" Professor Rozier frowned ~IndoMTL.com~ but her dark color was also slightly softened.

"Follow me!" She strode towards the prize showroom, her riding boots thumping on the marble floor.

……

A few minutes later, they came to the prize showroom.

To be honest, the situation here surprised Matthew Wakefield.

Crabbe and Goyle, two big men, collapsed on the ground like dead pigs, and they both passed out.

However, the situation of the two of them is much better than that of Ronald Weasley.

"Ron... Ron..." Neville shouted Weasley's name there, with a tear in his voice.

And Harry Evans was trembling aside.

Because Ronald Weasley, the poor Gryffindor boy, had fallen in a pool of blood.

There were only two wounds. On his neck, it seemed that two small holes had been pierced by fangs... The wounds were still bleeding, but the blood flow had become very small.

The boy's eyes are still open, but he can't see any life force, and his body is constantly twitching and trembling...

Matthew shook his head lightly. It seemed that his previous guess was correct. There really was an accident here!

……

Besides Neville and Evans, Ron also had a wizard by his side.

It was a teacher, and he was holding a wand, pointing it at Ronald Weasley's wound, as if trying to heal it.

After hearing the footsteps, the teacher raised his head, revealing a pale, haggard, bloodless face.

It's Professor Troka!
