Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 78: Courage, Wisdom and Shrewdness (Part 2)

"Professor Rozier?" As soon as Matthew finished speaking, Neville and Hermione shouted almost in unison.

"That's right!" Matthew nodded.

"No way..." Hermione looked a bit hesitant: "Professor Rozier...how could she..."

Matthew turned his gaze to Neville and began to explain: "Neville, do you still remember our second after-school practice this semester, when first-year students from our two colleges came together to Ringer's order to clean up Professor Rozier's office."

"Of course I remember." Neville nodded, "The two of us, and Evans, the three of us together... That day was also the day Ron was attacked."

"You and Evans went out that day. When I was mopping the floor alone, I found a drop of blood-like liquid under Principal Rozier's desk." Matthew said calmly: " In addition, in the cupboard in Professor Rozier's office, I also vaguely smelled the smell of a unicorn corpse!"

In non-detailed terms, he recounted everything he had seen and heard in Rozier's office that day.

Hermione and Neville looked at each other and murmured at the same time: "Unbelievable..."

"It's absolutely true." Matthew continued, "And the second attack that happened in the Potions classroom, Principal Rozier also appeared on the scene immediately!"

Hermione lowered her head and thought carefully for a moment: "But on Halloween, when the unicorn was attacked and Professor Kettleburn broke into the auditorium, Professor Rozier was at the guest table ..."

However, Matthew has already made up his mind about this problem: "The time of attacking the unicorn and the time when Professor Kettleburn found the body of the unicorn may not be at the same time. Maybe someone attacked first The unicorn, and then went back to the auditorium, and then Professor Kettleburn found the unicorn's body!"

The expression on Hermione's face still seemed a little hesitant.

On the contrary, Neville has already been persuaded by Matthew for the most part.

"I've always thought that Professor Rozier is very suspicious!" He said very seriously: "Why did she suppress all the news of these attacks...why didn't she heal Ron Weasley on him? The poison...why hasn't she put Hogwarts into a state of emergency after so many attacks..."

"I couldn't understand why she would do this before, but now I understand." Neville continued: "If it is said that she is the real culprit of all this, then it all makes sense! "

Seeing Neville's expression, Matthew nodded with some satisfaction.

"But..." Unfortunately, Miss Granger was still not convinced by him: "Professor Rozier, she is the headmaster...she has been at Hogwarts for almost fifty years...why is she Want to do this? She doesn't have any reason to attack the students, does she?"

"Who knows." Matthew shrugged, returning Hermione's original words: "However, Hermione, you are too naive. You always think that the vice headmaster of Hogwarts will be Saint, but all the evidence now shows that Professor Rozier is the most suspicious..."

Hermione looked down, seemingly lost in thought.

After about half a minute, she raised her head again.

"I still think that Professor Troka is more suspicious!"

She said seriously.

……

Matthew felt a little dizzy.

The reason why he wants to tell the information he knows about Professor Rozier is to attract the attention of these two friends and prevent them from paying too much attention to Professor Troka's affairs.

However, Miss Hermione Granger seemed to be more stubborn than he imagined.

"Let's split up!" Neville decided: "Professor Troka and Professor Rozier, they are both very suspicious... that's all right, Hermione, you are responsible for tracking Professor Troka; And I'm in charge of following up Professor Rozier... We will definitely be able to catch the leaks they left behind!"

Upon hearing Neville's words, Matthew only felt that his head was getting bigger.

For a clever little girl like Hermione Granger, if she were to discover something and make it public, it might have an impact on the overall situation.

You have to stop them from doing this!

Neville looked at Hermione: "Hermione, if you are accidentally caught by the teacher when you are tracking, try to put all the responsibility on me. Just say it's me Let you do this!"

"And you, Matthew..." Neville's eyes turned to Matthew himself again.

His expression was very serious, without any sign of joking: "... Matthew, I know, you are a good boy who abides by laws and regulations, and you don't want to violate school rules... Unlike us, Hermione and I are born You have an adventurous heart. But it doesn’t matter, the investigation task is left to me and Hermione, even if the teacher finds out ~IndoMTL.com~ when the time comes, we will definitely not confess you! In addition, very Thank you for providing us with such important information."

Suddenly being called a "good boy" by Neville, Matthew felt a little "flattered".

"So what are you going to do, Neville?" Hermione asked in a low voice.

Matthew and Hermione couldn't help but focus on Neville Longbottom.

Neville smiled and said, "Don't worry about me. My parents are more or less connected in the Ministry of Magic. Even if the incident happens, I won't be expelled. I'll stay in confinement for a few more days at most. That's all..."

"...Actually, I'm already used to it." He lowered his head and looked at the traces of shackles on his wrists: "And you are all from Muggle families after all, and you must be punished more severely than me... ...My body is also stronger than yours. All in all, no matter what happens, just put the blame on me!"

The other party's words have been said for this kind of sake, and Matthew feels that if he evades it again, it will be a bit "improper".

"Neville, leave the task of tracking Professor Troka to me." Matthew replied calmly.

"Matthew?" Both Neville and Hermione looked at him in surprise.

"I'm the student Professor Troka likes the most in the Transfiguration class... It's the safest choice for me to contact him." Matthew continued: "You two go to track down Rozier The principal is fine; be careful, because I believe that your task will definitely be more difficult than mine!"

Neville gave Matthew a grateful look, and then grabbed his hand.

"Let's act together to catch the real murderer behind the scenes!" He said firmly.

"That's right!" Hermione also came over.
