Hogwarts from another world

Chapter 122 Breakfast

Hogwarts in Another World Volume Chapter 122 Breakfast Early the next morning, the storm outside the window had subsided.

It was still wet outside the castle; when Matthew Wakefield came to the auditorium, he found that there were also dark clouds on the ceiling.

"Matthew" someone shouted Matthew's name.

Slytherin's prefect Gemma Farley trotted over, and then she handed a piece of parchment to Matthew.

She said, "This is the second grade class schedule. I didn't find you last night."

"Sorry, after the opening party yesterday, I went back to the dormitory to rest." Matthew explained quickly.

Indeed, after returning to the Slytherin common room last night, he immediately lay down on the velvet bed that had been absent for more than two months.

However, he lay in bed for a long time before falling asleep, and his mind kept thinking about the new professor of Transfiguration.

Gemma didn't care much about this: "Okay, how was your summer vacation? I heard you were staying alone in Diagon Alley."

"Not bad." Matthew replied.

"It's always a good thing to have more exposure to the magical world," Gemma said softly.

Gemma Farley is already a sixth-year student at Hogwarts. She is also a very responsible prefect who is very popular among the younger students. When Matthew first entered the school in the first grade, he met her and had a good impression of her.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and several senior students on the other side called her.

Gemma waved to Matthew and left.

During breakfast, Matthew spread jam on slices of bread while looking in the direction of the guest of honor seat.

As expected, the central position was still empty, and there was no trace of Principal Gellert Grindelwald.

For some reasons, Professor Grindelwald, as the principal, rarely stays in school, or in other words, he is always busy. Matthew is accustomed to this.

At the same time, at the guest of honor seat, Matthew was somewhat surprised to see a few new faces.

There were about five or six strangers, including Auror Lux, who had met Matthew once when he was capturing the vampire Troca a year ago, and Neville's father, Mr. Frank Longbottom.

Probably all Aurors

Matthew secretly guessed that perhaps these five or six wizards were probably the Aurors Neville said were responsible for protecting the safety of Hogwarts this semester.

To be honest, this made him slightly confused.

You know, Aurors are the top armed forces within the Ministry of Magic. The threshold is extremely high and requires a long period of training, so the number is sparse.

Although there is no detailed data, Matthew estimates that their total number will not exceed thirty people.

Moreover, the status of Aurors in the wizarding world is actually very high. It was precisely because his parents were Aurors that Neville Longbottom was appreciated by Professor Slughorn and became one of the few people to join the Slug Club in the first grade. s student.

With so many Aurors and a large number of Dementors, it cannot be said that the Ministry of Magic does not attach great importance to the protection of Hogwarts.

Then the question comes

Who are the three "criminals" who escaped from Azkaban?

Why is the Ministry of Magic so sure that those three "criminals" will definitely come to Hogwarts?

According to common sense, shouldn't the fugitives who escaped Azkaban run as far away as possible? Why did they come to Hogwarts?

These doubts swirled in Matthew's mind.

Unfortunately, the information at hand is too little and I have no clue at all.

And this kind of thing probably has nothing to do with a junior student like me.

Maybe

At this moment, another teacher joined the guest of honor seat.

Matthew's brows suddenly frowned.

Because the new teacher who appeared was none other than Professor Severus Snape, their transfiguration teacher for the new semester.

The frequency of changes of Transfiguration teachers is indeed a little too frequent, just like the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in the original work.

But what puzzles Matthew even more is that this Professor "Severus Snape" is really too strange.

Severus Snape is a character that Matthew is quite familiar with.

Greasy hair, huge aquiline nose, and empty black glasses. He is cold, mean, and at the same time dedicated.

The man who was having breakfast at the guest of honor seat now, in appearance and behavior, was very different from the Snape in Matthew's memory.

Moreover, the surname "Snape" is not a wizard's surname at all. The probability of someone with the same name appearing is actually very small.

So Matthew thought about it for a long time last night and couldn't come up with a reason.

Is it really just a change caused by the change of world line?

"Good morning, Matthew." A feeble voice suddenly came from behind Matthew.

Draco Malfoy also came to the auditorium with sleepy eyes. He seemed to have not yet adjusted his biological clock from the summer.

"Good morning" Matthew quickly turned around and said hello.

Malfoy glanced at Matthew and suddenly asked with some confusion: "You love jam so much?"

Matthew was stunned for a moment and looked at the piece of bread in his hand.

He was just thinking about something, and he spread several layers of jam on the slice of bread.

"Yes." He nodded calmly: "This tastes good."

"Well, I didn't expect you to have such a strong taste." Malfoy hit him again and began to spread butter on his slices of bread.

"That's right, Draco" Matthew suddenly called softly.

He remembered something

In the original book, the relationship between Snape and the Malfoy family has always been good; when Snape entered Slytherin House in the first year, Lucius Malfoy was his prefect.

"What's wrong?" Malfoy didn't stop what he was doing.

"Do you know our new Transfiguration teacher, Professor Snape?" Matthew said nonchalantly, "What kind of person is he?"

"Let me think about it." Malfoy stuffed the bread into his mouth and muttered at the same time:

“I have some impression. I may have heard about it somewhere, but I don’t have a deep impression.”

"Okay" Matthew sighed softly in his heart.

Another glance at the guest of honor seat showed that the new Transfiguration teacher seemed to have finished his breakfast and had just left the auditorium while Matthew was talking to Malfoy.
