Chapter 148: Reunion

Yes, everything before, as if experiencing a dream--
From the very beginning, eavesdropping on the conversation between Horace Slughorn and Elaine Shafik...
To know the existence of the character "Tom Gunter", prepare to escape from the secret passage of the screaming hut...
Going to the secret path again, I was caught by Tom Riddle and completely lost consciousness...
Finally, at the entrance of the Pig’s Head Bar, Mr. Percival was spotted.
To be honest, this experience sounds a bit outrageous.
something wrong!
There must be something wrong in the middle, Matthew can be sure.
How did he escape the clutches of "Tom Riddle"?
How did you get to the entrance of the pig's head bar?
Where did "Tom Riddle" go?
There is no clue about all these problems now.
Is it because of that book... When I was in a coma, what did that book do to save my life?
Or is it related to Mr. Percival, who saved himself?
Or maybe there are two reasons...
There is no doubt that something must have happened after he was in a coma!
By the way, there is another possibility...that is, "Tom Riddle" is already attached to him, ready to use him to return to Hogwarts... Matthew was so scared that he quickly touched the back of his head with his hand. Fortunately, he didn't touch another strange face over there.
Matthew just breathed a sigh of relief. The worst didn't seem to happen.
...
There was still confusion in his mind, and Matthew had no thoughts to stay in Hogsmeade anymore.
Dragging his tired body on Hogsmeade Avenue, he reached the entrance of the Honey Duke Candy Store. He ran into a large group of Hogwarts students emerging from it; he was barely squeezed out of the crowd, just as Matthew was preparing to go along the road. When returning to Hogwarts--
"Matthew...Matthew..."
Two clear shouts came from not far away.
Neville Longbottom and Hermione Granger, seeing him from a distance, they ran over quickly.
"You..." Matthew couldn't help but smile a little relaxed; but soon, his smile stopped abruptly.
Because he saw that, behind Neville and Hermione, there was their transfiguration teacher, Professor Severus Snape.
"What's going on," Matthew Wickfield glanced at them calmly, and asked, "You all look anxious..."
"Are you okay..." Neville grabbed Matthew's hand and looked at him up and down carefully... as if worried that Matthew was missing a piece of meat.
"Great, Matthew...I thought..." Hermione was almost crying.
"What's the matter with you?" Matthew made a rather confused expression, and asked somewhat puzzledly.
"Are you really all right?" Hermione asked incredulously.
"How could something happen..." Matthew replied unhurriedly.
Hermione and Neville couldn't help but glance at each other, the expressions in their eyes were full of embarrassment.
"Sorry, Matthew, it's my fault... I think too much..." Hermione lowered her head in shame. "I misunderstood what you meant, thinking you were in danger... so ...So we went to find Professor Snape... and then we went back to the Screaming Shack to find you..."
"What a joke, Hermione," Matthew laughed. "This is Hogsmeade, how could there be any danger... I was a little tired when I was on the hillside, and after a short rest, I went down. , I came to the Honey Duke to find you, but I didn't find it..."
"Huh," Neville said strangely, "Then when we went up the mountain, why didn't we meet you..."
"Maybe it's staggered..." Matthew explained, and he looked up, as if he had just discovered Professor "Severus Snape" who had walked beside them.
He said loudly, "Professor Snape, I'm really sorry, it seems to have caused you trouble..."
"It's nothing, Mr. Wakefield," Professor "Severus Snape" said in the same calm and gentle tone as before, "It seems that you haven't encountered any accidents... So, Miss Granger they told Those things about me are just misunderstandings, right?"
He glanced at Hermione and Neville, then glanced at Matthew with some deep meaning.
"Yes, it's just a misunderstanding..." Matthew nodded quickly.
"That's it." Professor "Severus Snape" nodded thoughtfully.
...
There is no doubt that it is certainly not a misunderstanding.
Miss Hermione Granger did not "think" much either.
When Matthew was on the hillside, he deliberately drove Hermione and Neville away... because he had already noticed something wrong at the time, so he drove away Hermione and Neville slightly, on the one hand to keep them away. Danger, on the other side there is also a hint that they are going to rescue soldiers...
Although Neville was relatively slow, with Hermione's brain, he might be able to react.
In fact, Hermione has done well enough.
However, after that, there were a lot of accidents... Matthew was rescued unknowingly for reasons he couldn't explain clearly.
So now he can't make those things that happened before public...
Especially those things cannot be told to the "unknown" professor "Severus Snape"!
Fortunately, Professor Snape didn't seem to show any suspicion, so he accepted Matthew's slightly "rough" explanation...Of course, maybe this was just appearance.
After so many accidents before, Matthew was no longer interested in staying at Hogsmeade. He told his companions: He was a little tired and was going back to Hogwarts for a rest.
Hermione and Neville were also frightened by those things, and they chose to go back with Matthew.
The three men began to walk on the path between Hogwarts and Hogsmeade again. UU Reading www.uukanshu.cOM
"Did nothing really happen?" Hermione Granger whispered, a little suspicious in her voice.
"Of course," Matthew nodded calmly, "Don't think about it, Hermione."
They passed the oak gate of Hogwarts campus again.
The two tall dementors still stayed there... Matthew and the others felt the chill deep into their bones again.
Back on campus, I didn’t go too far--
Suddenly Hermione saw something, and she ran to a bush next to her, pulling out something from it.
"Crookshanks, why are you here!" she said in surprise.
"I mentioned earlier that your pets sometimes run around in school." Matthew said casually.
"Well, I'll take care of it..." Hermione murmured, while hugging the big cat in her arms.
