Hogwarts Outsider

　　 Matthew Wickfield's face suddenly became serious.

　　Because he really can't figure it out, why would anyone want to track himself?

　　 I am just an ordinary first-year freshman, and there is no social relationship in the wizarding world...

　　 Could it be that the witch, who was wrapped in a thick black scarf down to her feet, was actually a character similar to a Muggle trafficker. She was trying to abduct herself?

　　 Possibly, the pig’s head bar has always been the gathering place of "gulls, ghosts and snakes". Since this witch came from there...

In places like Hogsmeade, she is not easy to start; but when it gets dark, when she tries to return to Hogwarts, that line is between Hogwarts and Hogwarts. , The secluded path is the best place to attack yourself!

　　 Matthew put down the mead in his hand and stood up.

　　 He was ready to go to the "Fun Ya Brand Wizard Clothing Store" to find Horace Slughorn who bought the robe over there, and then return to Hogwarts with the dean.

　　 There is such an adult wizard here, and I believe that the witch wearing a thick black scarf will be a little jealous.

　　……

　　 But soon, Matthew sat down again.

　　Because, he suddenly realized something was wrong!

　　 He picked up the mead again and took a sip.

　　 was at the Pig’s Head Bar before, but Slughorn picked him up! Even if the witch wrapped in a thick black veil is plotting wrongdoing, all of this should be seen in the eyes; and Hogwarts potions teacher Horace Slughorn, there should be a certain degree in the wizarding world Well-known!

　　 Then, why is she so easy to follow?

　　 Under normal circumstances, even if you originally wanted to commit a crime, you should give up your goal at this time!

　　 Is it because she is not afraid of Slughorn at all?

　　 Still saying... Does she have a reason to seize herself?

　　 Or is there a "trait" in me that attracts her?

　　 Matthew's face changed suddenly!

　　 Because it suddenly occurred to him, he really has no social relationship in the wizarding world, but he has something precious and scary in his hands:

that book!

　　 Because of the influence of that book, the Sorting Hat would suddenly become strange, and then he sent himself to Slytherin. Because of the influence of that book, Barrow, the ghost blood man, would mistake himself for a ghost.

　　 So, is the witch wearing a thick black veil a witch who studies mystery; she has sensed her own "trait", so she wants to catch herself?

　　 It is also possible that she is not a witch at all, but a disguised wizard, maybe!

　　 While sipping the mead in the glass, Matthew glanced from the corner of his eye to the position of the witch in the thick black scarf.

　　 She ordered a small glass of lemon juice and kept watching herself secretly.

　　 This also further deepens Matthew's previous judgment!

　　 If she was really attracted by that book... then the plan to find Slughorn would have to be cancelled.

　　 First of all, Slughorn may not be her opponent; after all, the opponent is in the dark, and Slughorn is in the light, and he may not be vigilant in this Christmas season.

More importantly, Matthew does not know where the "Fengya Wizard Clothing Store" is located; if it is in a secluded alley like the "Pig's Head Bar", or needs to pass a secluded alley on the way; perhaps I was caught by the witch halfway through!

what can we do about it?

　　 Hogsmeade probably has no Aurors patrolling...

　　 Matthew raised the glass and drank the mead inside.

　　 He thought of a way!

　　……

　　 When Matthew walked out of the two broom bar, he could vaguely see through the frozen window that the witch also hurriedly settled the bill, and then quickly caught up.

　　 There is no doubt that she is indeed tracking herself. He estimated that there is a 70% possibility because of the book; of course, there is also a 30% possibility because of other reasons.

　　 And want to get rid of her by speed, it is probably impossible.

　　 Then I had to do that——

　　 Matthew did not rush and came to the Honey Duke Candy Store!

　　 This very popular candy shop is crowded at this moment, with a lot of witches and wizards crowded in, snapping up candy.

　　 The witch wearing a thick black scarf, after hesitating for a while, did not choose to chase in outside the door.

This is what Matthew expected... There are too many people in Honey Duke’s candy store, and it’s too crowded; my small body can be easily squeezed out. For an adult like that witch, it’s easy to come in. Going out is not so easy.

　　 She was worried about losing herself, so she didn't choose to follow up; after all, there is only one door in the candy store, so just wait there nearby.

　　 Matthew approached the Honey Duke’s counter, pretending to choose sweets.

　　 There are too many people in the candy store at this time, so no one can pay attention to him. The owner of the candy store, Froome and his wife, are busy receiving guests.

　　 Then, Matthew sneaked into the counter, and then he saw the entrance to the cellar.

　　He took out his wand and said softly, "Ahora is open!"

　　The entrance to the cellar was opened, and Matthew walked in with cat waist, and then closed the cellar again.

　　 Down several flights of stairs, Matthew finally reached the cellar.

　　 There are piles of crates and other wooden boxes.

He began to search on the dusty floor, squatting down from time to time and reaching out to touch it...Almost five minutes later, at a corner of the cellar, Matthew found a trapdoor-it was completely in touch with the gray floor. One, you can't see it at all.

After 　　 got in, he entered a tunnel.

　　 This tunnel connects between Hogwarts and Hogsmeade. It was probably built by wizards specifically for the war during the goblin rebellion in the 17th century.

In the original book, Harry Potter and the Weasley brothers ~www.ltnovel.com~ have used this tunnel many times to go to Hogsmeade to steal sweets... But he had an idea and developed the opposite the use of.

　　 "Fluorescence flashes!" Matthew raised his wand, illuminating the road ahead, and then walked forward along the tunnel unhurriedly.

　　 Almost a quarter of an hour later, he walked up to a stone slide and began to climb up; he climbed until he hit something on top of his head.

　　 "Separate left and right!" Matthew said softly.

　　 A small hole large enough to accommodate a person was opened in front of him, and Matthew slowly crawled out.

　　 Looking back, it was a statue of a hump-backed, one-eyed old woman. As Matthew came out, the small hole was closed again.

　　He successfully returned to Hogwarts!

　　……

　　 "It seems that you can't go to Hogsmeade casually!" Matthew said to himself as he returned to the Slytherin common room.

　　Who knew that this happened to Hogsmeade for the first time today.

　　 In the common room, the seventh-grade girl has left in the morning, and only Agnes Lestrange is here.

　　 "Wickfield!" Just as Matthew was about to return to the bedroom, Lestrange suddenly called out his name.

　　 "What's wrong?" Matthew turned around.

　　 "When I passed two brooms today, I saw you and Slughorn together?"

"Yes!"

　　 "I suggest that you better keep a certain distance from Slughorn." Lestrange said coldly, "He is a dangerous man!"

　　 "Huh?" Matthew frowned, "I don't quite understand?"

　　 It's a pity that Agnes Lestrange, she has bowed her head and ignored Matthew.
