Hogwarts Outsider

Chapter 26: Professor Rozier

   The boy with his eyes closed, lying quietly on a hospital bed covered with white linen sheets.

   hardly any breath.

Several wizards around    stood there with solemn expressions. One of them, wearing a dark green healer robe, looked particularly worried.

   "Mrs. Rozier, how is this boy now?" Ms. Poppy Pomfrey, the school doctor at Hogwarts School Hospital, finally couldn't help but ask.

   The witch who was closest to the hospital bed and had just been squatting, finally stood up and tidied the black windbreaker on her body.

"He is almost only one step away from death." She spoke slowly, her voice calm: "But fortunately, he is still alive. Thanks to the protection of dragon skin, for any magic, dragon skin can always It has a strong protective effect!"

   While talking, she pointed to Draco Malfoy's hands on the hospital bed, the boy with his eyes closed, still wearing his dragon leather gloves.

   "Without these gloves, let alone an eleven-year-old boy, even an adult wizard would die on the spot." Professor Rozier added.

   "God, what terrible thing did this boy touch at the time!" Madam Pomfrey's face was full of fear, and she covered her mouth.

   "Dangerous extreme magic items, maybe even items on the side of mysterious magic!" Professor Rozier simply guessed: "It must not be a good thing anyway... What about the other three boys in the dormitory, how are they now?"

   When asking the last question, Ms. Rozier looked at a bald old man who was as fat as a big elephant.

The Dean of Slytherin, Professor Horace Slughorn, coughed slightly, and then quickly explained: "Whether it is Crabbe, Gower or Knott, they are all unconscious now, no matter if you ask them He answered everything incoherently, and even yelled hysterically...I fed them some tranquilizers, and now I am asleep."

   "Then what about that bedroom, has it been searched?" Professor Rozier continued to ask in a cold voice.

   "I have searched it completely, there are no items related to extreme magic!" Slughorn said with a certain face.

   "Unexpectedly, it is impossible for ordinary extreme magic items to enter Hogwarts." Professor Rozier turned around again.

"Professor Rozier..." Professor Keitelburn, who was wearing three prosthetic limbs, took a few steps forward: "I mentioned to you the other day that my chickens that were attacked, I'm afraid It's not simply an accident... Will there be any connection between these two attacks..."

   "I don't think there is any connection." Professor Rozier replied coldly.

   "But... maybe you can allow me to go to the depths of the forbidden forest, we can at least rule out one possibility..." Kettleburn insisted.

   "There is no need, Sivanos." Professor Rozier replied without hesitation: "I answered this question to you two days ago!"

   "Okay... okay..." The poor teacher of Protecting Magical Creatures can only nod his head obediently, looking aggrieved.

   There was a sudden noise outside the door, and Madam Pomfrey quickly walked over to see what was going on.

   A minute later, she came back again——

"It's Professor Troca!" She faced Professor Rozier and said, "He heard that a student had been attacked and wanted to come and see what happened... But you have asked before that, unless you give your permission, anyone Can't break into this ward."

   "Let him go back, this matter has nothing to do with him." Professor Rozier's voice is still extremely cold: "The sky is not completely dark yet."

   "Okay." Although she didn't understand what the last words of the vice principal meant, Madam Pomfrey nodded.

   And Professor Rozier glanced at Slughorn for the last time: "A male dormitory, under normal circumstances, there will be five students, so what about the last one?"

   Slughorn had already prepared: "His name is Matthew Wickfield, and he was not there at the time of the incident."

   "Call him over, I have something to ask him." Mrs. Rozier said bluntly, and then she added: "In addition, tell me all the situation at the time of the incident, all the details!"

   "Okay, ma'am!"

  ……

   "What happened?" Matthew was forcibly pulled out of the library by Slytherin's prefect Jamal Farley, he had to ask.

"Draco Malfoy, your roommate, he is dying now." Farley explained: "There are also Vincent Crab, Gregory Gore and Theodore Knott, they are all Become delirious and unable to communicate with people...In short, you seem to be the only normal person left in your dormitory, so Professor Slughorn wants to find out what happened to you?"

   "How do I know what happened?" Matthew just felt a little dizzy: "What the **** is going on?"

   But Miss Farley didn't know what was going on either.

   The only way for the two of you to come and go, play a puzzle for a while.

   A few minutes later, Matthew finally guessed some clues:

   That was his bedroom seemed to have been attacked by extreme magic, and all four roommates suffered.

Could it be that?

   Matthew's mind suddenly thought of that book, is it related to it?

   But, the book was clearly locked in the suitcase by myself, and the key to the suitcase is still in my pocket——

   Matthew touched his pocket subconsciously, but found nothing.

  I should have forgotten the key of the suitcase in the bedroom when I got up this morning?

   It seems that there is a possibility...

   I just don’t know if that book was found by Professor Slughorn?

   But no matter if you find it or not, it's right to refuse to admit it!

   Anyway, that book appeared beside him inexplicably.

  ……

   Potions professor's office, Matthew Wickfield is not here for the first time.

   It’s just that the last time I came here, it was Professor Horace Slughorn who took the initiative to "communication" with him.

   But this time, Slughorn is not the only teacher in this office.

   There is also the Vice President Professor Vita Rozier.

   "Professor Slughorn...Professor Rozier..." Matthew took the initiative to greet, and at the same time made a dazed expression: "What's the matter?"

   Slughorn opened his mouth, but he glanced at Professor Rozier beside him with some scruples, and then closed his mouth quickly.

   "Matthew Wickfield!" Professor Rozier asked coldly, "Where are you at about 3:40 this afternoon?"

   "I'm in the library!" Matthew answered quickly.

   "Can anyone testify?"

   "Mrs. Pince, the librarian, and Hermione Granger of Ravenclaw, they should all be able to testify."

   "What are you doing in the library?"

   "I'm looking up information about vampires to complete the thesis for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class."

   "Okay, I will know the authenticity of your sentence next Monday."

  Professor Rozier lowered his head, picked up the quill, and started to record something on a piece of letter paper.

   The entire potion office fell into a brief silence.

   And Slughorn glanced at Matthew, then at Professor Rozier, the expression on his face was extremely embarrassing.

"I think you already know that something unexpected happened to your four roommates." Half a minute later, Professor Rozier looked up again, but her tone was still extremely cold: "It's just that at that time The situation is like this—"

"When Draco Malfoy was discovered, he was by your opened, empty suitcase. He also had a purse of two hundred gallons in his hand... You commissioned Mr. Malfoy. Have you picked up anything from your suitcase?"

   "No, ma'am!" Matthew shook his head.

"Then the actual situation is probably like this. Mr. Malfoy opened your suitcase without authorization and prepared to secretly put the two hundred gallons in... and then reported to the professor that he had lost a lot of money and successfully planted You, let you become a'thief'..." Professor Rozier continued, still without any emotion in his voice.

   Matthew's pupils shrank suddenly. He didn't expect Malfoy to come to this trick... If he really succeeded, he would have to face a big trouble.

   "Has Mr. Malfoy ever had a conflict with you before?" Professor Rozier continued to ask.

   "Yes, ma'am." Matthew nodded: "Because I am a Muggle-born wizard, he used forbidden words to try to humiliate me, but was punished by Professor Grindelwald..."

   "Then everything can be explained." Professor Rozier nodded:

   "But when he got to this point, your bedroom was attacked by extreme magic. Mr. Malfoy is now undecided, and the other three people in the bedroom are also in a state of deliriousness."

   Matthew made a rather scared expression.

"But please rest assured, Professor Slughorn will strengthen the protection of the Slytherin common room, and we will not let the next such attack happen again!" Professor Rozier put down the quill in his hand: "You You can leave now, Mr. Wickfield!"

   "Okay, thank you, ma'am!" Matthew stood up, bowed to Professor Rozier and Professor Slughorn respectively, and walked out of the potions office.

  ……

   There are only Rozier and Slughorn left in this office.

   "It should have nothing to do with Wakefield." Slughorn said first: "After all, he is a Muggle-born student. It is impossible for him to be exposed to extreme magic or items on the side of mysterious magic in just a few days!"

   "No." Professor Rozier shook his head.

   "Huh?" Slughorn opened his mouth in surprise.

   "His reaction was wrong." Professor Rozier replied calmly:

   "He was surprised and scared about this..."

   "What's wrong with that?" Slughorn asked curiously.

   "But he is not happy!"

   "Happy?" Slughorn was stunned. "I don't understand, ma'am?"

"Malfoy insulted him and even tried to plant him as a thief... Such a villain suffered a tragic retribution because of an accident, and now his life or death is uncertain..." Professor Rozier slowly said: "He shouldn't hear such an ending. Are you happy? Shouldn't you be gloating?"

"what?"

   "In fact, when he heard Malfoy's ending, there was no joy in his eyes other than surprise and fear!" Professor Rozier continued to judge:

   "It's as if this nearly successful planting, and Draco Malfoy, weren't taken by him at all..."

   "In other words, this attack may be what he did?" Slughorn asked rhetorically.

   Professor Rozier looked at him helplessly: "If it is really what he did, shouldn't he be more secretly pleased after he succeeds now?"

   "I..." Slughorn was speechless.

  Professor Rozier continued to lower his head and began to record something on the letter paper.

   "Maybe I have to find some time to talk to Wakefield..." Professor Slughorn murmured.

   "Horace!" Professor Rozier suddenly put down the quill in his hand, her abrupt voice almost shocked Slughorn.

"We allow students to have their own secrets, as long as they don't threaten Hogwarts or the wizarding world." She slowly said, her voice more indifferent than usual: "Also, at Hogwarts , Any extreme magic and potion are strictly prohibited from being used by students, I hope you don’t forget!"

   Horace Slughorn nodded quickly.

  ……

   The deputy principal finally finished recording on her letter paper.

   Just as Slughorn was about to send her away, a mess of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

   "Horace...Horace...My son, what is he..." A panicked voice came from outside the door.

   Then, the man outside broke in.

   Then, he petrified there... facing the vice-principal of Hogwarts, Ms. Vita Rozier.

   "Lucius Malfoy!" Professor Rozier looked at the uninvited guest and asked mercilessly: "Who allowed you to enter Hogwarts?"

   "I...I am..." Mr. Malfoy stammered, "I am a member of the Hogwarts Board of Trustees..."

   "According to the regulations, anyone except teachers and students needs to get written permission to enter Hogwarts!" Professor Rozier's voice appeared sharp.

   She slowly moved forward, and Mr. Malfoy backed away in shock.

   "Horace!" She called out Slughorn's name again, this time making Slughorn shiver.

   "You tell me, do the members of the school board belong to the teachers and students of Hogwarts?" She asked loudly, as if murderous intent was hidden in her voice.

   "Mr. Malfoy... he..." Slughorn stammered.

   "Tell me, are the members of the Board of Trustees among the teachers and students of Hogwarts?" Professor Rozier raised his tone and asked again.

   "No!" Slughorn took a deep breath, then replied.

   "Then I am afraid I have to drive you away, Mr. Malfoy." On the face of the vice principal, UU reading www. uukahnshu.com suddenly showed a smile.

   Her face is already pretty; now she smiles and looks even more charming.

   "I only heard that my son had an accident..." Malfoy said in a low voice.

"Don't think you did something we don't know, Mr. Malfoy!" Professor Rozier drew closer again, almost pushing Lucius Malfoy to the wall: "Maybe the one that killed your son The extreme magical items whose life or death is uncertain are those you asked him to bring in, intentionally or unconsciously!"

   Professor Rozier turned around, stretched out his left hand and snapped his fingers.

   Two house elves appeared out of thin air and bowed deeply to Professor Rozier.

   "Please do Mr. Malfoy a little favor and get him out of Hogwarts!" Professor Rozier ordered coldly.

   "Understood!" The two house elves nodded, and then rushed over, one hugging Lucius Malfoy's leg.

   "I just want to see my son... madam, please..." Malfoy begged.

   "You will have this chance, but not today!"

  ……

   "Professor Rozier..." Slughorn raised his head timidly.

   "Horace, I'm not against you making friends..." Professor Rozier glanced at him squintingly: "But you need to pay attention to the quality of the friends you make!"

   "I don't want to see this kind of thing again next time!"

   "I understand, madam!" Slughorn nodded and said yes.

   After hesitating for a moment, he asked again: "Should I notify the principal of this sudden incident at Hogwarts?"

   "It's not necessary!" Professor Rozier shook his head without thinking.

   "Master Grindelwald, very busy!"
