Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 89: Vulnerability

There was a brief silence in the bathroom.

Harry Evans stood there with the light behind her, so that people could not see the expression on her face clearly.

"Keep talking!" she said coldly.

"If I wanted to sneak into Hogwarts with a reasonable identity, I would definitely choose to pretend to be a first-year freshman." Matthew continued to speak unhurriedly: "After all, the second-year and above Students all have certain social and interpersonal relationships, and if their behavior is slightly wrong, it is easy to attract the attention of others, which is often fatal..."

"Among the first-year freshmen, students from wizard or half-wizard families need to keep in touch with their families frequently, and they also need to go home during holidays; if there is something wrong with the child, the parents may write to the school, Undoubtedly, it would be easy to expose..."

"So at first, I thought that the real culprit who created a series of incidents was disguised as a Muggle-born student; but soon, I found another person who was more suitable for disguise—"

Matthew said coldly: "Harry Evans, the child of a wanted criminal... His wanted criminal's mother will naturally not write to Hogwarts, and at the same time, even if he She didn't go back during the holidays, and her mother didn't dare to come to Hogwarts for a 'theory', did she?"

Harry Evans suddenly smiled: "Yes, you are right!"

"I guess you set your sights on young Mr. Evans a long time ago, and attacked him before he boarded the Hogwarts Express. After all, his mother would not dare to go to King's Cross Station to see him on the train." ;and then drank a polyjuice made from his hair, turning into him.”

"In order to reduce other people's attention as much as possible, you made Harry Evans an extremely introverted character who is unwilling to communicate with other people." Matthew continued: "But it's too deliberate, There are too many loopholes in it—"

"It's like on the boat heading to the castle, Hermione took the initiative to greet you, but you didn't even reply. This is really too deliberate! Back then, I had a little bit of suspicion."

"In the subsequent sorting ceremony, you used Occlumency to trick the sorting hat, allowing Harry Evans to be sorted into the same Gryffindor house as his mother. Everything seemed to be going well..."

"But after arriving at Hogwarts, you showed more loopholes——"

"First of all, if you are really a person who is too timid to say anything, why does the Sorting Hat assign you to Gryffindor College? You know, Gryffindor's are 'brave' Academy!"

"Secondly, an extremely introverted 'autistic child' wanders around the castle every day; I can't remember how many times I bumped into you in strange places in the castle in the weeks before school started... at all There is no doubt that this is very abnormal, if you are really that extreme introversion, shouldn't you be huddled in the Gryffindor common room all day long... The personality and behavior are completely inconsistent!"

"So at that time, I had a vague feeling that you might want to be on campus, looking for something..."

"Then came Potions. To be honest, I'm not one to believe in blood theory; but Harry Evans' mother, Lily Evans, was Horace when she was not a Dark wizard. Slughorn's favorite student, a true genius in Potions! No matter who your father is, their child would behave so badly in Potions? Honestly, I don't believe it."

"And when you burned out several crucibles in a row, my doubts in this aspect deepened... How can something like a crucible be so easy to burn out? I can't do it to your level...and at that time, I had a bold assumption—"

"And the theft of Horace Slughorn's storage room later verified my original hypothesis!"

"At that time, you had already stolen the medicinal materials in Slughorn's storage room, and began to secretly prepare compound potions, preparing to lurk in Hogwarts as Harry Evans for a long time. But The quality of the small pewter crucible used by our first-year students cannot withstand the preparation of this advanced potion, and it will leave marks on the crucible after burning for a few days..."

"As an experienced pharmacist, if Slughorn sees the marks on your crucible, plus the two precious medicinal materials, African tree snake skin and bicorn horn in his own storage, Stolen, it is easy for him to find something..."

"So on the one hand, you let yourself perform extremely poorly in Potions class, and on the other hand, when traces appeared on the crucible, you forcibly burned it completely... In this way, even if the incident happens, no one will suspect it You are gone."

"After all, who would have thought that Mr. Harry Evans, who is the worst performer in Potions class and often burns out the cauldron, can concoct Polyjuice Potion in private?"

After talking for a long time, Matthew slowed down a little before continuing to speak:

"There are so many of the above, it is not a big loophole if it is pulled out alone... But it is too big to be concentrated on Harry Evans alone. So as early as Halloween, when When I saw you once again appearing in a place where you should not have appeared, and even made an extremely poor excuse, I can be sure that you are the culprit of all these incidents!"

"Really..." Harry Evans blinked, his eyes seemed full of charm and desire.

Matthew didn't look her in the eyes, and continued: "So, the several attacks at Hogwarts are also very easy to explain——"

"Neville once told me that before the attack, Ronald Weasley had a big fight with you and made you cry; You are actually a female secret."

"And Crabbe and Goyle said that Weasley had left the prize showroom before the attack; and before the attack, you, who were cleaning Principal Rozier's office with me and Neville, also He was ordered by Principal Rozier to send a stack of documents to Mr. Pringle's office..."

"I'm afraid I met you Weasley by chance in front of Mr. Pringle's office, and I was worried that he would reveal your secret, so I launched an attack on a whim!"

"As for Miss Adams and Mr. Carlo, when they returned to the Slytherin common room from the Slug Club, they may have just met you who were stealing medicine in the Potions classroom... so you had to attack them."

"As for Justin Fenrieri." Matthew smiled: "When Justin was in Hogsmeade, he was captured by a mysterious woman, asked about something, and then cleaned his memory ...that mysterious woman is probably Harry Evans' mother, Lily Evans!"

"As a wanted criminal~IndoMTL.com~, she was unable to contact Hogwarts. After not hearing from you for a long time, she had to take the risk and sneak into Hogsmeade. She was caught in Hogsmeade First-year students at Hogwarts, I want to know your news and your personal safety from them... If I was not smart at the time, I was almost caught by her for questioning!"

"But Lily Evans' Forgetting Curse is really not very clever, as time goes by, it gradually becomes invalid, and Justin Fenlieri seems to be recalling what happened that day... Are you worried about Justin After recalling the memory, the situation will be against you, but he was captured while he was in confinement in the Forbidden Forest."

"Another interesting thing is that Neville Longbottom, who was imprisoned with Justin, was unscathed. Judging from the circumstances of the attack on Miss Adams and Mr. Carlo, it seems that the murderer Didn't mind attacking one or two; but Justin is missing and Neville is intact..."

"There is only one reason I can think of, and that is that the relationship between the attacker and Neville Longbottom is not bad, and he is unwilling to attack him unless it is absolutely necessary..."

Matthew said naturally: "Neville is indeed a 'friend' with a great personality. If I were the attacker, I definitely wouldn't want to hurt him!"

"Mr. Wakefield..." Harry Evans finally spoke, his voice sounded a little delicate: "You have said so much, but don't forget that the instigator of all events is a A blood-sucking monster..."

"A blood-sucking monster?" Matthew looked indifferent:

"Perhaps there are no blood-sucking monsters in Hogwarts?"

"Maybe, can all of us be blood-sucking monsters?"
