Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 79: Tracking
Ms. Millicent Barnold, Minister of Magic, is stronger than he imagined.
When Matthew Wakefield was holding the "Daily Prophet" in his hand, he couldn't help thinking while looking at the contents of the newspaper.
In the newspaper in hand, there is still no report related to the attack.
The content of the headline on the front page was the news that Aidan Lynch, the Seeker of the Montrose Magpies, was about to get married; and the content of the second page was that the Ministry of Magic decided to temporarily cancel the curfew in Hogsmeade... It's all trivial things.
Matthew flipped through the "Daily Prophet" indiscriminately, and finally at a corner, he saw an "interesting" piece of news——
"Where is the legacy of Merlin, the greatest magician in British history?"
For the British magical world, Merlin's legacy has been a question that has puzzled them for hundreds of years... The wizard, who lived to be 1,200 years old, did not finally die until the goblin rebellion in the eighteenth century. There is no doubt that when he suddenly left this world, he must have left an extremely large legacy. But in the past two hundred years, no one has ever found his legacy.
The mainstream view is that when Merlin died, his inheritance was also taken away by goblins; there are also people who hold different views.
A short piece of news, but the small news that appears at such a corner is mostly just catching wind and shadows.
Matthew just glanced at it, then hurriedly left his sight.
Searched through the entire "Daily Prophet", but still did not find any valuable content.
He finally chose to give up, crumpled up the newspaper, and threw it into the trash can.
……
It's been almost two weeks since the disappearance of Hufflepuff first year Justin Finchrey.
But the news of his disappearance still hasn't spread in Hogwarts, at least Matthew has never heard anyone discussing it.
Including the Hufflepuffs.
Undoubtedly, the disappearance was suppressed by the management of Hogwarts again.
According to Neville, it was Professor Rozier and Professor Sprout who lied to them. Justin Fenriely was bitten by a snow spider while he was in confinement in the Forbidden Forest. Sent to St. Mungo's Magical Hospital for treatment.
Thanks to Justin being a student of Hufflepuff, those naive little badgers didn't have too much doubt about these words.
At the same time, thanks to Justin's parents being ordinary Muggles, Hogwarts didn't have to pay anything to hide the news.
"Matthew!" When Matthew walked out of the auditorium, he saw Neville Longbottom at the end of the corridor, waving at him; at the same time he whispered.
Matthew looked around, then hurried towards Neville.
Neville also turned around and left, and the two came to the door of the History of Magic classroom in a "very tacit understanding".
Then, when there was no one around, they tiptoed into the dark classroom.
Neville turned around and closed the door carefully.
……
Miss Hermione Granger was already waiting for them in the History of Magic classroom.
Seeing the intrusion of Matthew and Neville, she stood up excitedly.
"How is it?" Hermione looked at Matthew eagerly: "Is there any doubt about Professor Troka?"
Matthew paused. He thought it would be better for him to slow down and prepare his language?
"Let's talk first." Matthew looked back at Hermione: "What happened to Professor Rozier?"
Neville was the first to speak: "There doesn't seem to be any accident... She goes to the auditorium for dinner every morning, noon and night; Staying in her office, her daily life is very regular..."
"Is that so..." Matthew just nodded, but was interrupted by Hermione beside him in a somewhat angry tone!
"That's not the case at all!" Hermione said seriously.
"Then tell me..." Neville closed his mouth knowingly.
"Professor Rozier is really very suspicious." Hermione said quite seriously: "I should observe more carefully than Neville. Recently, Professor Rozier often runs to the Potions classroom from time to time. Take a look over there... It seems that there is something over there that has been tempting her. Don't forget that the location where Adams and Carlo were attacked around Halloween was near there!"
"Is it near the Potions classroom?" Matthew murmured.
"So what about you, Matthew?" Hermione asked eagerly, looking at Matthew's Biao: "You are responsible for following Professor Troka, have you gained anything along the way~IndoMTL.com~ and Rozier Like the professor, except for meals and class time, Professor Troka has been staying in his office all the time..." Matthew calmly explained: "At least for the time being, there are no leaks."
"Okay." Hermione nodded in disappointment.
Obviously, she is still a little dissatisfied with the current discovery.
The communication between the three lasted for a while.
Until the end, they left the classroom one after another.
……
When Matthew Wakefield returns to the Slytherin common room.
"Matthew!" A somewhat naive figure hurried over while there were not many people around.
"Crabbe, how is it?" Matthew asked in a low voice, "How is the situation with Professor Troka?"
"Professor Troka has often pretended to be innocent these days and walked around the school..." the chubby Vincent Crabbe quickly replied: "Looking for something in the school !”
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Matthew nodded: "Where is Gore now?"
"He should still be in front of the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher's office, stalking over there..." Crabbe replied honestly.
There is no doubt that Matthew himself is not willing to follow the teachers of Hogwarts, let alone take great risks in doing so.
Therefore, he entrusted this "dangerous" task to two "friends"——
Crabbe and Goyle.
He temporarily "borrowed" these two from Draco Malfoy.
With their help, take turns "monitoring" Professor Troka's office.
The greater the possibility of discovering something different!
