Chapter 81: massacre

　　 Whether it was Matthew or Hermione, the expression on their faces changed suddenly when they saw the message on the note.
　　 "Let's go there quickly!" Hermione stuffed the note into her pocket.
　　 "Hmm." Matthew nodded.
　　 Then the two ran towards the garden like the wind.
　　……
　　Because it is Valentine's Day, the dressing in the garden is more than that in the corridor.
　　 The stone-paved path is full of roses; fresh rose petals can be seen everywhere on the grass; there is a small heart-shaped sun hanging in the middle of the garden...
　　 But Matthew and Hermione didn't have time to take care of this. They stopped the couple on the side of the road and asked them what happened.
　　 Those lovers obviously hate being disturbed by others.
　　 Of course they don’t even know what happened.
　　 The two walked through low bushes, huge stone statues and rose bushes. Finally, when they arrived at the center of the garden, near a huge fountain-
　　 Several couples were sitting on the wooden bench, and Matthew could hear the splash of water.
　　Matthew noticed that the couple next to him looked a little shocked.
　　 He hurriedly leaned over and asked, "Hello, what happened here just now?"
　　 The senior girl who Matthew didn't know looked pale: "The corpse... just had a corpse... there was blood on her..."
　　 "Corpse?" Hermione was almost taken aback.
　　 "It's not a corpse." Next to him, the girl's boyfriend quickly explained: "It's a first-year boy. His body just appeared by the fountain... very suddenly!"
　　 While talking, he pointed forward.
　　 "The boy was bitten by something on his neck, and it seems to be poisoned, the wound is very serious..."
　　 "Is he Neville?" Hermione asked very worried.
　　 The couple looked confused when they heard Hermione's words.
　　 "What does that injured boy look like, do you know him?" Matthew hurriedly stopped Hermione excitedly and continued to ask.
　　 "We don't know each other." The lovers replied, "And Mr. Pringle arrived soon. He forbidden us to watch and took the boy to the school hospital."
　　 "Neville... will he... have an accident..." Hermione said hastily when the couple had just walked away, her voice a little incoherent.
Students from Ravenclaw and Slytherin need to take herbal medicine this morning; but students like Neville, Gryffindor, have no class this morning... Hermione is worried, will he be here? Something strange was found in the garden, and then he was attacked.
　　 "Don't worry, let's look for it here in the garden; if it doesn't work, go to the school hospital again!" Matthew said calmly.
　　 But they didn't take a few steps, the fierce Professor Pringle appeared in front of them.
　　 "You guys!" Mr. Pringle pointed at them and shouted: "Get out of here!"
　　 "We just came in and strolled around..." Matthew quickly defended.
　　 "You can't walk around." Mr. Pringle made a provisional school rule, and then drove the two out: "Lower grade students are forbidden to enter here!"
　　Hermione also wanted to go to Mr. Pringle and ask who was the boy who was attacked.
　　 However, Matthew grabbed her in time and shook his head at her at the same time.

　　 "Where are we going now, shall we go to the school hospital?" After leaving the garden and returning to the castle, Hermione looked a little bit arrogant.
"Don't worry for now." Matthew is still calm: "Gryffindor and Hufflepuff together have at least a dozen boys, not to mention those high-grade students often mistake us with second-grade students; therefore, It may not be Neville who was attacked."
　　 "Then we..."
　　 "Let's go to the auditorium first." Matthew continued: "Wait there. If Neville is okay, he will definitely come to the auditorium to find us."
　　 "We should go to the school hospital..."
　　 "As I said, Neville may not be the one who was attacked; and even if we went to the school hospital, Madam Pomfrey might not let us in for a visit!" Matthew said harshly.
　　 In the end, Matthew Wickfield persuaded Hermione Granger to dispel the idea of ​​going to the school hospital.
　　 The two came to the auditorium. Since it was not lunch time, there were not many people inside.
　　 They were sitting on the long tables of Gryffindor and Slytherin. Hermione seemed to be living like years, but Matthew had been thinking about something.
　　……
　　 It turns out that Matthew was right.
　　 Only ten minutes later, Neville Longbottom appeared in the auditorium.
　　Even though he looked very pale, he seemed to be seriously ill.
　　 The three people left the auditorium one after another in a tacit understanding, and then entered the magic history classroom with no one else.
　　 "Neville, what happened?" As soon as the door was closed, Hermione asked nervously, "Are you okay?"
　　 "We have been found." Mr. Neville Longbottom's first sentence was a bit surprising: "Professor Rozier found us!"
　　 "What..." The pale man now had Miss Hermione Granger's turn. U U Reading www.uukanshu.com
"Yes, I was found..." Neville continued: "Professor Rozier called me to the office just now, and she warned me, and you... if we were to be found sneaking in her again, By her side, she will fire us all."
　　 "This vicious woman!" After a brief panic, Hermione squeezed her fist a little angrily.
　　 "Then why do you use an owl to contact us?" Matthew continued to ask with a serious face: "It must be not because of Professor Rozier?"
　　 Matthew didn't think that when Rozier called Neville to her office, Neville still had time for Owl to deliver two letters; it must be because of something else.
　　 "Someone was attacked in the garden!" Neville seemed to remember something, and said quickly:
　　 "...no, in fact he disappeared ten days ago..."
　　 "Justin Finley?" Matthew asked.
"Yes……"
　　 Neville was only halfway speaking, and was interrupted by Hermione's scream: "Is he really dead?"
"No, no," Neville shook his head quickly: "Justin is not dead, just thinner than before, nothing else... His body is also very sudden, I don't know who was thrown on the lawn on the left of the hot spring. On, it caused a tumult..."
　　 "...During the riots, I only saw him twitching constantly, with blood bleeding from his neck... That tragic look, almost exactly the same as the time Ron Weasley was attacked!"
　　 "What about the wound on his neck?" Matthew continued to ask: "Is it the same as Weasley's wound on his neck?"
　　Navi shook his head: "Sorry, I was too far away, I didn't see it."
