Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 60: Evans
The little accident that happened just now caused some conflicts between Matthew Wakefield and Hermione Granger, and they broke up unhappy.
This also made Matthew a little regretful.
To be honest, he was surprised that Hermione, a girl who was only eleven years old, made such an amazing discovery in just two months of schooling.
There are even some discoveries that he didn't realize before.
At the same time, he also hoped that Hermione would be more sensible and not do stupid things.
However, judging from the girl's initiative to "discuss" with herself, she who joined Ravenclaw was influenced by the atmosphere of Ravenclaw to a certain extent, and she is obviously not as "reckless" as in the original book.
I shouldn't need to worry about her too much.
……
While thinking, Matthew lowered his head and continued to "appreciate" the picture——
However, the previously **** and revealing girl has disappeared, replaced by a black mist.
Matthew began to read the following small print softly:
"The succubus (), an ancient magical creature, was once active in Europe and the Middle East..."
A cloud of stains appeared behind, making a few lines of writing completely unreadable, which made Matthew frown.
"... is an extremely terrifying demon that often appears in dreams in the form of beautiful human women, tempting men, causing their health to be damaged, and even death."
With just a few sentences, the introduction is quite brief.
This made Matthew suddenly feel that it might be a mistake to borrow this book.
He closed the curtains again, picked up the book, and left the History of Magic classroom.
(Note: The image of the succubus in the legends of Europe and the Middle East is almost completely different from the image of the succubus in the DND system and Western fantasy games. Please pay attention.)
……
Back in the library, under Mrs. Pince's surprised eyes, Matthew returned the tattered book to her.
Then, Matthew left the library.
For the past two months, the reason, process and murderer of these several attacks, now he has a rough outline in his mind, so there is no need to continue to look up more information in the library.
After all, the whole incident had nothing to do with him in essence.
Moreover, the progress of the whole incident is beyond his current meager power.
What's more, judging from the existing information already under control, these few attacks were not as serious as I originally imagined.
"Where can meat-eaters seek it out!"
Matthew said to himself, and at the same time began to walk up the stairs to the eighth floor of the castle.
For him, Matthew Wakefield, the really important issue is the book lying quietly in the Room of Requirement!
……
While on the stairs on the sixth floor, Matthew met an acquaintance.
"Hey, Evans!" he called eagerly.
Then, passing through the noisy crowd at the stairway, he walked towards the other party's position.
Harry Evans was walking down with his head down. When he raised his head, he was slightly taken aback when he saw Matthew.
"Good morning!" Matthew patted her shoulder affectionately.
"Morning...good morning..." Evans took two steps back subconsciously: "good morning, Wakefield."
"Are you okay last night, Professor Troka should have sent you back to the Gryffindor common room?" Matthew asked casually.
"Yes!"
"Are you going to have breakfast now?" Matthew continued to ask.
Evans looked a little absent-minded, he seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then whispered "Hmm..."
"Then goodbye!" Matthew smiled and waved to him: "Don't get lost again."
"Okay...Okay!" Evans nodded hastily, and then ran down the stairs as if fleeing.
Looking at the back of the other party going away, Matthew couldn't help frowning.
He thought of what Draco Malfoy said last night on the way back to the Slytherin common room.
"Harry Evans behaves like a girl!"
In fact, Malfoy was not alone in thinking this way. Matthew's first impression of Harry Evans was that he looked like a woman.
So... Could it be that he is really a woman?
While thinking about it, Matthew continued to walk upstairs.
……
"Hey, Matthew!" This time, it was someone else's turn to greet him.
When Matthew Wakefield took the initiative to climb up to the eighth floor, he happened to bump into Neville Longbottom who climbed out from the entrance of the Gryffindor tower behind a graceful and luxurious female portrait.
"Good morning, Neville!" Matthew also greeted him.
"Why are you here on the eighth floor when you have time?" Neville glanced at him with a curious expression on his face.
"I came to see Professor Flitwick!" Matthew casually said his old excuse again.
"Oh, I'm going to the auditorium to have breakfast first." Neville nodded.
Just as he was about to go downstairs and say goodbye to Matthew.
"Hi, Neville!" Matthew suddenly stopped him from behind.
"What?" Neville turned around suspiciously ~IndoMTL.com~ Can you tell me about Evans? Matthew asked curiously.
"Evans, what's wrong with him?" Neville asked with a look of surprise.
"It's nothing, I'm just curious!" Matthew said calmly, while choosing his words carefully: "The main reason is... I want to make friends with him, but he seems very shy..."
"Introverted indeed." Neville agreed.
He was no longer going to go downstairs, but came to the window on the eighth floor of the castle with Matthew, and chatted while looking at the scenery outside the window.
"Evans usually has very little communication with us." Neville said thoughtfully, "Whether it's eating, attending classes or doing other things, he seldom spends time with us. Quite out of gregarious..."
"...For example, yesterday morning, when I went to the washroom in the Gryffindor common room to take a shower, I met him who was also holding towels and clothes on the way, so I called him to join me. Guess what? Oh, he ran away in fright, you said you are all boys, it is incredible that you would be shy because of this kind of thing..."
"...and earlier, when Ron was not attacked, I once had an argument with him for some unknown reason. As a result, Evans was said to cry, like a girl Like a child..."
Neville chattered while recalling.
He introduced a lot of news about Harry Evans.
Matthew smiled, he was really sure this time.
"What's the matter, Matthew?" Neville seemed a little surprised when he saw the smile on his face.
"Nothing." Matthew shook his head hastily.
"Then I'm going to have breakfast!"
"Goodbye!"
