Chapter 122: breakfast

Latest website: Early the next morning, the storm outside the window had ceased.
The outside of the castle was still wet; when Matthew Wickfield came to the auditorium, he found that there was also a dark cloud on the ceiling.
"Matthew!" someone shouted Matthew's name.
Slytherin's prefect Jamal Farley trot over, and then she handed a piece of parchment to Matthew.
She said: "This is the second grade curriculum. I didn't find you last night."
"Sorry, after the school banquet ended yesterday, I went straight back to the bedroom to rest." Matthew explained quickly.
Indeed, after returning to the Slytherin common room last night, he immediately lay on the velvet bed that had been away for more than two months.
It's just that he lay on the bed for a long time before falling asleep, thinking about the new transfiguration professor in his mind.
Jiama didn't care much about it: "It's okay...How was your summer vacation? I heard that you were alone in Diagon Alley?"
"Not bad," Matthew replied.
"It's always a good thing to have more contact with the magic world..." Jiama said softly.
Jiama Farley is already a sixth grader at Hogwarts, and she is also a very responsible prefect who is very popular with the younger students. When Matthew first entered school in the first grade, he met her and liked her very much.
The two exchanged a few words, and several senior students on the other side called her.
Jiama waved to Matthew, and then left.
...
At breakfast, Matthew looked at the direction of the main guest seat while smearing jam on the bread slices.
Sure enough, the most central location was still empty, and there was no trace of Principal Gellert Grindelwald.
For some reason, Professor Grindelwald, who is the principal, rarely stays in school...or rather, he has been very busy... Matthew has long been used to this.
At the same time, in the main guest seat, Matthew was a little surprised to see a few new faces.
About five or six strangers...including the Aurode Lux, who had a relationship with Matthew during the capture of the vampire Troca a year ago... and Neville's father, Mr. Frank Longbottom ...
Probably all Aurors?
Matthew secretly guessed...Perhaps the five or six wizards were probably the Aurors Neville said was responsible for protecting Hogwarts this semester.
To be honest, this made him a little bit puzzled.
You know, the Auror is the top armed force in the Ministry of Magic, with a very high threshold and a long period of training, so the number is scarce.
Although there is no detailed data, Matthew estimates that the total number will not exceed 30.
And Auror’s status in the wizarding world is actually very high...Navi Longbottom was recognized by Professor Slughorn just because his parents are both Aurors, and he became one of the few first-year students to join. Students of the Slug Club (of course it is also related to the Longbottom family, which is a more famous pure-blood family, but Hogwarts was born into a pure-blood family.)
So many Aurors, plus a lot of dementors... The Ministry of Magic's defense of Hogwarts cannot be said to be indifferent.
So here comes the question-
The three "criminals" who escaped from Azkaban, "Where are they sacred?"
Why is the Ministry so sure that the three "criminals" will definitely come to Hogwarts?
According to common sense, the fugitives who escaped from Azkaban shouldn't escape as far as possible... Why did they come to Hogwarts?
These doubts hovered in Matthew's mind.
It's a pity that there is so little information at hand, and there is no clue at all.
And this kind of thing should probably have nothing to do with a junior student like yourself...
Maybe……
...
At this moment, another teacher joined the main guest seat.
Matthew's brows frowned suddenly.
Because the new teacher is Professor Severus Snape, their new semester teacher of Transfiguration.
The frequency of the transformation of the teachers in the Transfiguration class is indeed a little too frequent, just like the position of the professor in the Dark Arts Defense class in the original book.
But what makes Matthew more puzzled is that this "Severus Snape" professor is really too strange...
Severus Snape is a figure that Matthew is quite familiar with.
Greasy hair, huge hooked nose, hollow black glasses...indifferent, mean, at the same time dedicated...
And now the person eating breakfast at the main guest table is far from the Snape in Matthew's memory in appearance and behavior!
Moreover, the surname "Snape" is not the surname of a wizard at all (Snape is a half-blood wizard, and his father Tobia Snape is a Muggle), the probability of having the same name and surname is actually very small...
So last night Matthew thought about it for a long time and didn't think of a reason.
Is it really just the change caused by the change of the world line?
...
"Good morning, Matthew!" A weak voice suddenly came from behind Matthew.
Draco Malfoy also came to the auditorium with sleepy eyes, he didn't seem to have 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, and looked at the slice of bread in his hand...
I just patronized and thought about things, and the jam on the bread slice was thickly smeared several layers.
"Yes." He nodded calmly: "This tastes good..."
"Well, I didn't expect you to have such a strong taste..." Malfoy hit another Hatch, and then began to butter his slices of bread.
"By the way, Draco!" Matthew suddenly called out softly. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
He remembered one thing--
The relationship between Snape and the Malfoy family in the original book has always been good; when Snape entered Slytherin College in his first year, Lucius Malfoy was his prefect...
"What's the matter?" Malfoy didn't stop his movements.
"Our new Transfiguration class teacher... what is Professor Snape... do you know?" Matthew said nonchalantly, "What kind of person is he?"
"Let me think about it." Malfoy stuffed the bread into his mouth while muttering:
"I'm a little bit impressed... I may have heard of it somewhere... but not so impressive..."
"Okay!" Matthew sighed softly in his heart.
Glancing at the main guest seat again, the new transfiguration teacher seemed to have finished breakfast, and just left the auditorium when Matthew was talking to Malfoy.
