Hogwarts Outsider

Therefore, the reason why Horace Slughorn is so passionate is that he must invite himself to the party tonight——

Just because some of his former students are coming over?

Matthew was immediately puzzled.

Because he couldn't believe this somewhat unrealistic answer.

This banquet, no matter what angle he thought of, he felt something was wrong.

...

But even if he thinks so, he can only bite the bullet and sit down.

With the joining of these successful wizards, the atmosphere of the slug club banquet has become more eager than ever.

Everyone no longer stayed at their table as before, but gathered around the new guests—

Hermione Granger ran to find Mr. Wendy Slinka. She seemed to have too many questions and wanted to ask the author of the book "Theory of Defense Magic"...

And Neville Longbottom, along with a few Quidditch-loving boys, got close to Gwenog Jones and looked at the Holyhead Hobbi team captain with admiring eyes...

There is also that handsome young man named Regulus Black, a group of girls standing next to him and chatting, they are curious and excited...

Judging from the current situation, Regulus Black in this world does not seem to be a follower of Voldemort? But Matthew has some doubts, whether he came to Hogwarts this time with his brother Sirius Black at Hogwarts?

Just as Ma Xianxian was considering what he should do, suddenly the easygoing young man came to him and sat down.

It was Mr. Dirk Cresway, the young and promising official of the Ministry of Magic... Matthew had some impression of this name in his memory. He seemed to have lived a life of escape after Voldemort took power in the original book... So, he I'm afraid it's a Muggle-born wizard...

The same background made him feel a bit pleased to come in.

"Hello, Mr. Creswell!" he greeted him actively.

"I remember your name, it's Wick..." Dirk Creswell looked at Matthew and said.

"Wickfield, sir!" Matthew replied quickly.

"Yes, Wakefield, that's right..." Mr. Creswell nodded, "I heard Professor Slughorn say this name... He seems to value you..."

Yes, I do value me very much, but I am afraid that this value and that value may not be the same thing... Matthew secretly thought.

"Are you working at the Fairy Liaison Office? Then you are in contact with those fairies every day?" But on his face, Matthew made a very curious look.

"Yes," Mr. Creswell nodded, and replied, "But the fairies in Gringotts are not good ones to deal with. They still control the use of magic, but they don't have a magic wand in their hands... ...They have always thought that they are equal to wizards, although we don't think so...this is still after so many goblin rebellions..."

Mr. Cresway continued: "... Fairies, they are greedy, cunning, and arrogant... Contact with them, if you don't pay attention, you may be deceived... Honestly, this is not a comfortable job... "

"So that's it..." Matthew had a suddenly realized expression.

They chatted casually like this again.

A few minutes later, Matthew asked casually, "By the way, Mr. Creswell, are you familiar with our transformation teacher, Professor Severus Snape..."

If Matthew's judgment is correct: In terms of age, the difference between this Mr. Dirk Cresway and the real Snape should not be much...

"You mean Severus, of course, I'm one year younger than him..." Mr. Creswell replied easily, "Of course, he is from Gryffindor College, and I am Hedge Patch’s..."

It really was Gryffindor Academy...Matthew couldn't help frowning.

"...I have barely seen him since graduating from Hogwarts...what, you just said that he was a teacher at Hogwarts and a teacher of transfiguration...Unbelievable, I don’t know. This matter..." Mr. Creswell looked slightly surprised.

The two chatted like this for a few more minutes.

At this moment, Matthew suddenly saw Elaine Shafik approaching.

Since he deliberately kept his distance from Horace Slughorn, he also deliberately began to distance himself from Miss Shafik.

Slughorn has many mysteries, and Shafik, a seemingly innocent girl, does not seem bad... and since "Tom Gunter" was exposed, she seems to have no more need for Miss Shafik I got the news from my mouth.

After a hurried farewell to Mr. Cresway, Matthew left there quickly.

...

"Neville!" He came to Neville Longbottom.

Miss Gwenog Jones, the captain of the Holyhead Hobbits, is a tall, dark-skinned witch.

She talked passionately about her participation in the Quidditch World Cup as a batsman on behalf of the Welsh team two years ago... It caused cheers from the surrounding boys.

"Neville... Neville..." Matthew finally made Neville divert his attention.

"What's the matter, Matthew?" Neville asked eagerly.

"My stomach hurts suddenly, if Professor Slughorn asks me where I have been, he will say I have gone to the bathroom..." Matthew said calmly.

"Okay, I see." Neville replied hastily, and then turned his gaze to Miss Gwenog Jones.

Obviously, Matthew had already felt that trying to get Neville and Hermione to leave the dinner in advance was a bit unrealistic.

But he himself is already ready to slip ahead...

He pretended to pour mead and came to the door of the potions office.

When I saw Slughorn and other familiar faces, not in my sight--

Matthew opened the door of the office without hesitation, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com quickly walked out.

The air in the corridor was also cold, and at the same time it made people breathe a sigh of relief.

He made up his mind that if anyone asked him, he would say he was going to the bathroom.

...

The "early departure" plan went very smoothly.

No one seems to have noticed it, and no one is chasing from behind...

The teachers and students in Slughorn's office didn't seem to notice that one of them was missing.

Matthew walked alone in the hallway at Hogwarts, and now he felt much more relaxed.

Suddenly, in the corridor ahead, there seemed to be the sound of high-heeled footsteps on the floor——

The familiar sound of footsteps also changed Matthew's expression slightly.
