Hogwarts from another world

Chapter 142

"Hogwarts from Another World"

"Matthew!"

Hermione and Neville, who were responsible for the "lookout", soon noticed something strange about Matthew.

They quickly gathered around.

"What's wrong with you, Matthew?" Neville asked with some concern.

"Could it be that Professor Slughorn and that Shafik said something secret?" As for Hermione, she looked very interested.

"No...it's not..." Matthew quickly denied, "I just slipped my hand..."

He bent down, picked up the soft little ear, and put it back to his ear...

But at this time, apart from the obvious noise in the bar, there was no other sound... Whether it was Slughorn or Rosmerta's voice, they disappeared.

It sounds like Professor Horace Slughorn and Miss Elaine Shafik have both left the Two Broomsticks.

But at this moment, what Matthew was thinking about was what Miss Shafiq said before she left:

"He's in Hogsmeade!"

There is no doubt that the "he" in the subject of this sentence refers to the person whose name has not been mentioned who has been communicating with Miss Shafiq for the batch of goods smuggled from Italy some time ago.

Before Mr. Shafik was imprisoned in Azkaban, he had been in contact with two people, one of whom was Lucius Malfoy, and the other -

"Tom Gaunt!"

There is no doubt that it can only be the name that once appeared in Flourishes and Blotts Bookstore's ledger!

……

Whether it's "Tom Gaunt" or "Tom Riddle".

During the period after school started, Matthew searched for information related to these two names many times in the library.

However, the information found was pitiful...

To this day, Matthew has only found out from some information from fifty years ago that Tom Riddle was a student of Slytherin College who entered Hogwarts in 1938.

In 1943, he received the Special Contribution Award for his outstanding contribution to Hogwarts; that medal is still in the prize display room.

In addition, in 1945, the year when Gellert Grindelwald first came to Hogwarts, Tom Riddle successfully graduated from Hogwarts. He got O in all the N.E.W.Ts exams. (Outstanding, excellent).

But Mr. Riddle’s resume ends here.

In the records after 1945, Matthew did not find any information related to Mr. Riddle.

Yes, I can't find it at all...no matter which book in the library or which newspaper...

It was as if Voldemort, who was all-powerful in another world, disappeared from the earth after graduating from Hogwarts in this world.

Maybe something happened to him...or maybe he has been hiding his name...

But now... Matthew suddenly knew that he had appeared in Hogsmeade again!

Matthew's heart suddenly tightened.

Why is he in Hogsmeade?

Is it just a coincidence?

Or……

He was looking for the whereabouts of that book... The original "owner" of the book that fell into his hands more than a year ago should be Mr. "Tom Gaunt"...

The reason why he came back to Hogsmeade... was to find himself and get the book back from him...

"Matthew...Matthew...Matthew..."

A series of calls "awoke" Matthew.

Neville and Hermione gathered around him, looking at him with great concern and whispering his name.

"What's wrong with you Matthew...you look so pale...you look like you're sick?" Hermione asked while pressing Matthew's forehead.

……

Matthew Wakefield, "awakening from a dream," glanced around.

There was no one around and there was silence.

And on the top of the hillside, there was a shabby hut.

It looked slightly taller than the other houses in the village, the windows were tightly sealed, and there were wild grasses growing beside it.

"Where are we?" Matthew asked quietly.

"Over there is the 'Screaming Shack', which is said to be the most haunted house in Britain," Hermione explained. "Because of this, no one usually wants to go near this hillside... You just said you would Find a quiet place, I will take you here..."

"...Even the ghosts of Hogwarts are unwilling to go near it," after a pause, Hermione continued to explain, "I once smelled Ms. Grey, and she heard that a very rough guy once lived here... "

"Okay, I understand!" Matthew nodded, then sat down on the stone steps next to him and took a breath.

He hesitated for a moment, glanced at Hermione and Neville respectively, and took the initiative to say: "Nothing...Professor Slughorn didn't say anything important...It's just that I suddenly felt a little tired..."

"Do you want us to take you back to the campus hospital for a checkup?" Neville asked hurriedly, "You look ugly now, Matthew."

"No...it's okay...I said it's okay..." Matthew shook his head, "You go back first, go back to Hogsmeade, go to Honeydukes...I'll sit here and rest for a while, and I'll go find you later. ...Or I can rest and go back to Hogwarts directly..."

Matthew's tone of voice was a little choppy.

Hermione glanced at Matthew with some suspicion, and at the same time, there was a bit of worry in her suspicious eyes.

"How can that be possible?" Neville retorted without hesitation, "If you really can't walk, I'll carry you down the mountain..."

"Matthew," Hermione bent down and asked softly, "Is there something wrong..."

"Nothing's wrong, I'm telling you to leave quickly!" Matthew Wakefield looked a little angry and shouted angrily:

"Get out of here, you two!"

"Matthew..." Neville still looked hesitant.

But Hermione thought about it and nodded.

At the same time, she pulled Neville's sleeve and motioned for Neville to leave with her.

She said: "Then let's go back to the village first, Matthew. We'll wait for you at Honeydukes Candy Shop."

"Yeah." Matthew nodded weakly.

……

Neville and Hermione walked slowly down the hillside, and their figures soon disappeared from Matthew's sight.

Matthew's somewhat pale face quickly became alert.

He had to leave Hogsmeade...as quickly as possible...

As long as you return to Hogwarts, you will be safe...With the intimidation of Principal Gellert Grindelwald, that "Tom Gunter" may not dare to break into Hogwarts... Matthew secretly thought road.

He stood up and turned his gaze to the top of the hill.

Without hesitation, he ran towards the dilapidated, desolate and weird "Screaming Shack".
