More than a month has passed since the Easter holiday ended.
At the same time, Professor Horace Slughorn, the dean of Slytherin College and a teacher of the Hogwarts Potions class, passed away strangely, and it was almost so long.
No one knows what happened...According to the official reason, it was accidentally taking poison and died.
But Slughorn, as a potion expert, was fine not long ago, but died suddenly because of accidental poisoning? This sounds obviously a bit too unbelievable, and even insults everyone's IQ.
Naturally, the students don’t agree with this, but they have nothing to do...
Horace Slughorn is a widow and lonely old man, without a wife, children, or even surviving family members. No one speaks for him... He originally had a lot of proud disciples, and many pure-blood wizard families. The relationship is good; but the world is cold and warm, and after his death, those people did not speak for him...
In fact, it is also possible that there is a voice, but no one knows.
In fact, since the Easter holiday, a lot of things have happened around them, not just the death of Slughorn—
For example, Elaine Shafik in the first grade of Slytherin was taken out of the school by the Aurors without giving any reason...The Daily Prophet was temporarily suspended, and the students lost access to outside information. The only channel... The opportunity Hogsmeade was supposed to open to students at the end of May was also cancelled...
The castle and campus of Hogwarts seem to have been forcibly separated from the outside world...
They now know nothing about the outside world!
"Something must have happened outside!" Neville Longbottom whispered quietly when he was with his friend.
Neville’s father, Frank Longbottom, also left Hogwarts at the end of the Easter holiday, and reportedly accepted some "censorship"; with his Auror friends... Neville said he had I haven't heard from him for a long time. The new Aurors are completely strange faces, and they look extremely cold...
The final exam is approaching. According to previous years, Hogwarts will be very nervous at this time, and students will be scrambling to review or preview...
But this year things are different. Everyone is worried, and they obviously don't have any thoughts to review.
Even Hermione Granger, so...
"God knows what will happen outside when summer vacation comes?" she said.
"It's also possible that we won't have a summer vacation at all this year." Neville said with some irony, "Just like the holiday to Hogsmeade, it was cancelled!"
"By the way, where's Matthew?" Hermione asked in a low voice, "I always think that his recent state is a bit wrong..."
"I don't know... Today is Sunday... Maybe I went to the library to review..." Neville shook his head.
...
Matthew Wickfield is not in the library, but in the potions classroom.
At this moment, he was the only person in the potions classroom.
Even on Sunday, even if the final exam is approaching, everyone is unwilling to review in this remote classroom. Especially the owner of this classroom, who passed away not long ago.
In front of Matthew, there was only a wrinkled letter and a withered flower.
Matthew's mood was not as affected as much by his two friends.
It may also have something to do with his understanding of the ins and outs of this matter, a little bit more than the two of them.
This is thanks to the letter he found in a crack in the stone--
In a sense, this can no longer be called "faith".
When Matthew read it several times a month ago, the contents of the letter paper had completely disappeared.
And the above content, Matthew has long been "by heart"...
The signature of the letter is "Horace Slughorn."
Therefore, Florhua didn't suddenly initiate guidance to herself until noon that day, and she can understand...
It was because Professor Slughorn cast the petals of the Flor flower next to the envelope and cast the concealment curse; under the effect of the concealment curse, the rhizome of the Flor flower cannot sense its petals, so There was no effect; until noon that day, with the death of Professor Slughorn, the concealment curse ceased, and I could discover its guidance...
Now Matthew recalled that after secretly picking Flor flowers in the garden that day, he soon saw Professor Slughorn.
At that time, I was fortunate that the "steal" was not discovered by the dean...
In fact, he saw it all...
Not only did he see it, but after Matthew left with his front foot, he picked up a few petals from the ground that Matthew had accidentally dropped when he picked it.
If these petals are left untreated, they will soon decay and then turn into dust.
But Professor Slughorn has meticulously handled them to keep them fresh... so that they can be used as a tool to "tell Matthew" after his death!
Matthew felt sad when he thought of this.
...
It's hard to find the old handwriting on the wrinkled white paper.
But when Matthew saw it again, the content above seemed vivid:
"Dear Matthew,
When you read this letter, I must be dead; therefore, I desperately hope that you better never read this letter.
Of course, if that unfortunate scene does happen, please don’t be sad... I have lived in this world for 97 years (although I am confident that I am well maintained, it seems that I am not that old). It’s been long enough, and it’s time to meet my old friends who have left this world!
Honestly, Matthew; in your body, I vaguely saw a shadow of my youth--
Ambitious, shrewd, sleek, calm... Honestly speaking, you meet the most perfect qualities of a Slytherin student, perhaps apart from your pedigree... When the sorting hat faces some extreme cases, it is impossible to make mistakes, just As if it assigned you, a Muggle-born student, to Slytherin College...
Of course, you also have a talent that I can't match (as far as your age is concerned), and I must admit this too.
Even the most sleek person should have the most basic persistence deep in his heart. I have always believed this...
I hope you can follow the same path. I originally planned to spend more than five years to cultivate you slowly, but it is a pity that time waits for no one...
Gellert Grindelwald is a lunatic...If the word is not accurate, just use "paranoia"...
For his plan, he gave his own life and countless lives... He has walked on his road for a long, long time, and he can no longer look back (you are a little clever ghost, I am afraid that Green Dewo's true face is clear, so I don't need to say more about it).
So we must stop him! Burning Book Bar
As far as I am concerned, my grandmother is a Muggle... She has been dead for many, many years, but I still remember clearly the gentleness of her when I was with her when I was very young... Because of her existence , I have never hated Muggles, let alone wizards from Muggles...
Muggles are no different from us, except that they can’t magic... The roots between the Muggle world and the wizarding world are also deeply intertwined, such as my grandmother, Minerva’s father, and you 'S parents...
Muggles, they are our relatives, our kind.
There is no need for wizards to enslave Muggles. We have the best servants, and that is magic!
Everything is nothing but Grindelwald's paranoia.
Let's get back to business, Matthew.
To be honest, the reason why I wrote this letter is to know very clearly that our hope of success in this operation is actually very, very slim...Even if we have the power of Hogwarts, we will not be Grindelwald's opponents.
His power is too strong, so powerful that it is suffocating, so powerful that people can't see his back.
Pandora's box is about to be opened, and we know very well that his final plan is about to begin...
Everything we have done can't even slow him down... If you want to describe despair, I'm afraid this is it...
The only thing we can do is to leave the last hope in the magic box.
The truth of that hope is a book...a book that can defeat Gellert Grindelwald!
I'm afraid you are surprised, Matthew... because through the few questions you asked me, the book is probably in your hands...
It's a coincidence!
That book is not a mysterious side magic item, the mysterious side magic on it is actually very weak, and it's just appearance; as I told you at the beginning.
The reason for this appearance is because I need my student Tom Riddle (that is, Tom Gunter who attacked you that day) to help me bring it from abroad... I deceived Tom because Tom was from Ah After Zikaban was released from prison, he had some options for smuggling... You must know that it is not easy to transport contraband from abroad to the UK now!
Before Tom's vassal Lucius Malfoy took the books, our people had been to the Lihen Bookstore first, ready to steal their posts...
But something strange happened and the book was missing!
It wasn't until later that you suddenly found me... I just started to guess whether you got the book!
Or that book, I chose you!
So don’t worry about Tom... Tom did feel that the book is on you, and he did attack you twice at Hogsmeade; but on those two occasions, you were protected by the Order of the Phoenix...
For the first time, a member of the Order of the Phoenix has been following you. If Tom is about to attack you, even if she reveals her identity, she will protect you...
And the second time, Tom's whereabouts in Hogsmeade from beginning to end are under our control.
Going back to business, that book chose you!
Honestly, this is a good thing...
Only when Hope chooses the owner can people see the light.
We were very excited at the time!
But you are too young, I don’t want you to be addicted to her too much, and I don’t want you to tell anyone else about this...
So I used a terrible tone at that time, "intimidated" you...
I had hoped that you would grow up slowly before telling you the truth... and I can't get too close to you. There are too many minions in Grindelwald in Hogwarts, and if you are not careful, your feet will be exposed...
It's a pity...time waits for no one...
Grindelwald easily defeated an ancient invader who broke into Hogwarts, his self-confidence grew more and more, and his minions were ready to move all over Europe...
We all know that that day is coming, so from now on, we also have to take risks and start a series of actions...
These actions are nothing more than very slim attempts.
Their real purpose is just to confirm whether the book is really in your hands... At the same time, with the demise of the Order of the Phoenix, Grindelwald loses his guard against Hogwarts; it makes you a little safer. ...
This is all we can do.
Don't worry about James, Sirius, and Minerva. Even if they were caught, Grindelwald was never a cruel person. At best, they were locked in Azkaban...
But I am different, because I am the only one who knows the truth about all this.
If I survive, I will continue to try my best to train you...
But if there is an accident that exposes me, then I can only choose to die...
My Occlumency is indeed excellent, and I do have the antidote for Veritaserum with me, and all the memories of that book have been deleted by me... But in the face of the mighty power of Grindelwald, I still Very trembling...
If he wants, he can learn the truth from me in countless ways.
The only way is death... He can't learn the truth from the dead!
I'm leaving, Matthew; the Order of the Phoenix has also fallen apart...
If you really want to deal with Grindelwald, you can only rely on you...
Of course, if you choose to give up, I will also understand... Our opponent is too terrible, so terrible that even me, many times will lose courage.
There is no need to be afraid of that book, there is actually a very kind soul in her...Since she chose you, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com will only protect you, not hurt you.
If you decide to deal with Grindelwald, then go to the Hog’s Head Bar in Hogsmeade and find the bartender. He will teach you how to do it...
If you decide to give up, make a pot of soup with dried nettles, living root grass, bad blood weeds and leeches, soak the book in it for two and a half hours, and the soul inside will naturally be wiped out... You can also return to your original peaceful life.
So, make a choice, Matthew...
The only people who know this are you and me; now that I am dead, you are the only one.
No matter what choice you make, no one will blame you.
Your loyalty,
Horace Slughorn"
