Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 42: The smell of blood


A boy lay on the ground, twitching, seemingly dying.

Another boy knelt beside him, sobbing and calling his name.

Another boy curled up aside, shaking with fear.

And two teachers who stood and squatted, looking at each other.

Matthew Wakefield suddenly felt that he was like an "outsider" here.

……

"I think this is an attack, Professor Rozier." Professor Troka spoke first, and Matthew noticed that his voice seemed to be trembling.

And the sound of Professor Rozier's high-heeled shoes stepping on the floor sounded again; she walked up to Ronald Weasley, bent down, and checked the condition of his wound for herself—

"The blood has almost been sucked dry..." Her voice was a little heavy: "Moreover, there seems to be toxins left in the wound, and those toxins are the root cause of him becoming like this!"

She gently pulled out her wand and pointed it at Weasley's body: "Enervate!"

A warm red light flashed, and Weasley's eyes suddenly lit up with a gleam, but it soon dimmed again.

"I've tried it, but it doesn't work." Professor Troka shook his head: "The wound can hardly heal..."

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of messy footsteps behind them.

"Principal Rozier, it's great that you are here!" It was Mr. Pringle's voice: "My dog...my dog...it suddenly went crazy..."

Mr. Pringle's voice suddenly stopped.

Because, he also saw the tragic situation of Ronald Weasley now.

And, he's not the only one.

Turning around, Matthew saw that apart from Pringle, who was holding Mr. Tang in his arms (Mr. Tang had already been **** firmly with a rope), there were many students pushing and pushing The ones squeezed through the aisle into the prize room.

But when the people in front saw the fainted Crabbe, Goyle, and the miserable Weasley, those lively and chattering voices suddenly disappeared.

The students fell silent all of a sudden, and they crowded forward one after another to watch this terrible scene.

……

"What...what the **** is going on?" Mr. Pringle, the administrator of Hogwarts Castle, stammered.

"I'm afraid it has something to do with your dog suddenly going crazy." Professor Rozier said in a low voice.

At the same time, she used all her strength to hug the unconscious Weasley:

"Jeffrey, take this boy to the school hospital." Professor Rozier shouted extremely seriously.

It took Matthew a half a beat before he realized that Professor Rozier was calling Mr. Pringle's name.

She added: "Let Madam Pomfrey give this boy a blood tonic every day, double the amount... Also, don't use any antidote!"

"Understood, ma'am!" Mr. Pringle nodded. He first placed Mr. Tang in the corner of the prize showroom, and then took Ronald Weasley from Professor Rozier. ; After carrying the extremely weak boy on his back, he quickly ran towards the direction of the school hospital.

"Ron..." Neville Longbottom was about to chase him to the school hospital.

However, it was stopped by Professor Rozier.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Longbottom. There are also Mr. Evans and Mr. Wakefield!" Then, she looked at Professor Troka again: "And you, Edward...you and I'm coming!"

The silent crowd begins to spread out to both sides to let them pass.

……

They came to Professor Rozier's neat and simple office again.

It's just that at the door, there are all kinds of household items scattered all over the place.

Matthew quickly ran over and began to organize these brooms, mops and other things together.

After hesitating for a moment, Neville rushed over to help.

Professor Rozier returned to her seat, looking dignified. She picked up her teacup and took a sip.

Immediately afterwards, she picked up her wand and waved it lightly, and several chairs appeared in front of them.

"Sit down!" she said softly.

Several people sat down one after another.

"Mr. Wakefield told me before that you rushed over because you heard Mr. Tang's barking and thought of the students in the prize showroom, didn't you?" Mrs. Rozier asked first. road.

Neville Longbottom and Harry Evans looked at each other, then nodded.

Neville took the initiative to say, "That's right, ma'am."

"So, when you arrived at the prize showroom, did you observe anything... such as the murderer or something, it wasn't long before Mr. Weasley was attacked when I arrived there." Rozzie Professor Er asked again.

"I don't think so." Neville shook his head, "When Evans and I went to the trophy room, Ron was already like that...Professor Troka was there trying to rescue him... ..."

"Edward Troka?" Professor Rozier frowned suddenly, and she called out the full name of the Transfiguration teacher.

Matthew couldn't help being taken aback, and his eyes quietly moved to Professor Troka.

"I didn't notice anything~IndoMTL.com~Professor Troka calmly explained: "When I got there, Mr. Weasley, Mr. Crabbe and Mr. Gower had all become that Looks like... I tried to rescue Mr. Weasley who was finally injured, but it only relieved his pain a little..."

Professor Rozier lowered her head, and she picked up the quill again, seeming to be recording something at a very fast speed.

"Okay, you all go back!" About thirty seconds later, she raised her head again: "I'll go to the school hospital to check on the status of those boys."

……

Four people walked out of the vice principal's office at the same time, and their hearts seemed heavy.

Matthew bit his lip lightly, and then he walked over to Professor Troka.

"Professor Troka..." he called softly.

"What's the matter, Wakefield?" Professor Troka turned around.

When he was in the prize showroom just now, Matthew noticed that Professor Troka's face was pale, haggard, and bloodless...

But looking at it closely now, he seemed to be weaker than he imagined, as if he had suffered a serious illness, and his voice had also become a little weak.

"Weasley, he should be all right?" Matthew asked with some concern.

Professor Troka shook his head first, then nodded again, and he sighed softly: "I think there is a high probability that he will not die."

"Matthew, come and help move something." Neville called after him.

"Okay, thank you, Professor." Matthew hurriedly said to Professor Troka, then turned and ran towards Neville.

When moving those household items, he couldn't help closing his eyes——

Because when he was approaching Professor Troka just now, he smelled blood again.
