Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 46: Welcome to join

To be honest, Matthew didn't like Horace Slughorn as a very "snobby" person at all.

In particular, he is also a teacher, the dean of a college.

But now, he has to choose to bow his head temporarily.

…

Another Wednesday afternoon Potions class.

Harry Evans has burned out his cauldron again, this is already the third time he has burned out this term.

To be honest, even Professor Slughorn didn't understand how the kid did it.

"Evans...you actually..." The bald old man like a walrus sighed, then shook his head: "Oh, forget it!"

With some heartache, he took out a new crucible from the cupboard and handed it to him.

"A crucible is worth five Galleons, very expensive! This is definitely the last time!" He warned loudly: "If you dare to break it again..."

The poor Evans was so frightened that he curled up into a ball, trembling, and even sobbed and shed tears.

Slughorn couldn't say anything harsher, so he left the cauldron and left.

Matthew Wakefield and Neville Longbottom completely saw what had just happened around them.

Because they are working hard to prepare hair erectors, the new content taught to them by Professor Slughorn in this class——

After taking this potion, it will make the user's hair stand on end... To be honest, Matthew can't figure out the practical value of this potion at all.

While putting the freshly cut mouse tail into the cauldron, he said casually:

"Why does Evans look like a girl?"

"How is that possible." Neville quickly shook his head, "I share the same dormitory with him, we get along day and night."

"I mean character." Matthew explained: "The first impression is like a girl..."

"He's really introverted, and he rarely talks to people." Neville replied, "No, it can even be said that he never takes the initiative to talk to people. We asked him things, and he answered, and the voice was still very loud. Small."

"Do you know who Evans' parents are?" Matthew asked suddenly.

"All I know is that he's a wizard, he won't tell us anything about his parents..." Neville said.

"I remember that Professor Rozier mentioned in the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class that there is a dark wizard... also seems to be called Evans?"

"Probably a relative!" Neville replied casually, and at the same time began to stir the cauldron: "It's quite common among pure-blood wizards."

The potion in the crucible began to slowly turn into a dark gray color.

"Oh, little ones!" Professor Slughorn's voice suddenly came from behind them, almost startling Neville: "Seeing that you are chatting happily, I'm afraid you are almost done. Right?"

The chubby big elephant suddenly appeared from behind them and put both hands on their shoulders.

"Yes, Professor." Matthew replied calmly, "It's done!"

"Oh, Merlin's beard!" Professor Slughorn looked at the potion in the crucible, and made a very exaggerated expression: "It's perfect...so perfect...I've never seen one A freshman in the grade can make such a perfect hair erector!"

"Well done, Mr. Longbottom and Mr. Wakefield!" Slughorn laughed loudly, "If Hogwarts hadn't canceled the house points forty years ago, I would at least have Add 20 points to Gryffindor and Slytherin!"

"It's all thanks to Matthew." Neville quickly explained, "I'm just in charge of stirring."

"There is no doubt that humility is a virtue..." Slughorn nodded.

"No, no, no!" Neville quickly shook his head, "It's true that Matthew did it all by himself!"

"Mr. Wakefield, is this true?" Slughorn's eyes began to shift to Matthew: "Can you tell me, how did you accomplish such a perfect pot of vertical hair?" Potion?"

Actually, the truth is that Matthew learned about the contents of this potion class from Hermione Granger of Ravenclaw two days ago (Potion class of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff , was conducted on a Monday afternoon).

In the next two days, he searched almost all the books related to the hair straightener in the library of the Room of Requirement.

And using all available time, he also tried to practice several times in advance.

Then at the beginning of the Potions lesson, he told Neville that he wanted to try it by himself.

Neville Longbottom has always been easy-going, and because the thesis of the Transfiguration class has already reached a very good relationship with Matthew, he is also happy to relax.

Afterwards, this scene happened now.

"It's actually very simple!" Matthew Wakefield replied calmly: "Just do as you said..."

"...It's just that I suddenly felt that it's not good to put dried nettles in the cauldron when it's at its hottest. It might be better after it cools down a little...so I tried..."

This method was seen by Matthew in a book called "Common Potions and Antidotes" in the Room of Requirement, but he will definitely not take the initiative to say it now.

"Genius idea!" The expression on Slughorn's face suddenly became more exaggerated, and he grabbed Matthew's hand: "Very, very genius idea...creativity is what promotes the progress of potions The source of...you did a very good job, Mr. Wakefield."

"Thank you, Professor." Matthew said quickly.

After a few more ramblings, Professor Slughorn took his eyes off Matthew's cauldron.

…

Half an hour later, the Potions class was over.

While Neville was packing up his things, Matthew suddenly "accidentally" dumped his crystal bottle box on the ground, and the small bottles rolled all over the place, and some even broke .

"Oops!" Matthew exclaimed.

"It's okay, I'll clean it up for you!" Neville said enthusiastically.

When other students left the Potions classroom one after another, Matthew and Neville were packing up the crystal bottles on the ground.

"Let me help too, children!" Classroom Slughorn came over, and he waved his magic wand, and the shattered crystal bottles immediately returned to normal.

"Thank you very much!" Matthew quickly bowed to him.

Just as Slughorn turned to leave ~IndoMTL.com~ Matthew suddenly said: "Professor Slughorn, I heard that Draco seemed to say that you built I formed a Potions class group to exchange knowledge about Potions class every week..."

Slughorn's Slug Club, of course, is not limited to Potions-related content, but Matthew is deliberately playing stupid at this time.

"...I have always been very interested in potions, so I wonder if there is a chance to join?" Matthew asked cheekily.

Slughorn was stunned for a moment. He looked Matthew up and down, as if he was finally checking the boy's qualifications.

After a short wait——

"Of course, Mr. Wakefield!" Slughorn suddenly smiled as if changing his face: "You are welcome to join!"
