Hogwarts from another world

But Professor Horace Slughorn's prediction does not seem to have come true.

At least nothing happened on the Hogwarts campus for a long time after Valentine's Day.

Everything was as usual and seemed as peaceful as ever.

This also made Matthew's tense nerves relax a little.

Soon, the Easter holidays came, and there were only ten weeks left before the final exams.

The Easter holiday is far less relaxing than the Christmas holiday, because the teachers of each subject have assigned a lot of homework...

This also made many students sigh.

……

The first day of the Easter holidays.

Early in the morning, Matthew left the Slytherin common room and started heading to the library.

Just as he walked out of the library door, Matthew bumped into Miss Elaine Shafik.

"Good morning!" Matthew greeted the other party.

But Elaine just nodded towards him slightly coldly, and then quickly walked into the library.

Matthew also followed her and walked into the library. Since it was very early, it was quite quiet inside.

Glancing outside the window, the weather was great. It could be said that they had encountered such good weather for the first time in months... The sky was as clear as the color of forget-me-not flowers, and there was a smell of summer coming in the air.

At this time, something caught his eye: there was an animal wandering on the emerald green lawn next to the castle.

Now it was sneaking at the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Matthew quickly narrowed his eyes. It seemed... it was a cat?

Soon, he recognized the bottle brush-like tail and ginger hair. They all looked familiar... If he guessed correctly, it should be Crookshanks!

That's right, it's Crookshanks. What is he doing sneakily?

Matthew was a little curious and stopped to observe.

The big ginger cat was wandering on the lawn outside the castle, as if waiting for something... Suddenly, a little thing came out of the corner of the castle...

Matthew squinted, his nose pressed against the windowpane.

It's too small to see clearly.

Matthew quickly glanced around, and luckily, he found a brass telescope on the bookshelf on the side! Probably some student who finished his astronomy class left it here!

Matthew quickly picked up the binoculars, then quickly ran to the window and opened the window at the same time.

Adjust the focus as quickly as possible... Soon, Matthew could see the thing clearly!

The person communicating with Crookshanks seemed to be a mouse... As soon as Matthew's eyes moved to it, the mouse quickly ran back to the castle... Except that its hair seemed to be gray, nothing else Didn't even see clearly.

A cat befriending a mouse sounds hilarious!

But it did happen, as Matthew had seen earlier.

Matthew Wakefield soon fell into deep thought because he didn't know what this meant!

……

As I continued to read in the library, more and more people began to appear.

This must be because the final exam is approaching, and many students have begun cramming, pre-study, and of course completing their numerous homework... Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult to see so many people in the library.

Due to the increasing number of people, the library soon became as noisy as the vegetable market.

Mrs. Pince ran over and roared several times, but each time after a short period of calm, the noisy voice appeared again a few minutes later...

Matthew couldn't stand it anymore, so he decided to change the classroom.

A few minutes later, Matthew Wakefield arrived at the Charms classroom on the fourth floor, which was usually less crowded.

Just as he was about to enter the Charms classroom, his eyes suddenly lit up and he saw a familiar figure appearing at the entrance of the sloping stairs.

Matthew's eyes lit up and he trotted over quickly... At the end of the stairs, he saw the girl's back.

That's right!

Absolutely right!

The person who just went upstairs is Elaine Shafiq!

Matthew's expression suddenly changed...because this is almost impossible!

Just minutes before, Elaine Shafiq had been with him in the library. When Matthew was leaving, he saw her, concentrating on completing her homework, not ready to leave at all!

But who was that person just now?

Could it be that because he left the library, Miss Shafiq also left with him, and then arrived at the stairwell of the fourth floor almost at the same time as him...

This sounds even more unrealistic!

Or are there two Elaine Shafiqs at the same time?

Matthew thought about it, but to be cautious, he did not catch up and ask anything...

The cats and mice communicating with each other; the two Elaine Shafiqs appearing at the same time, plus the apparent calmness of Hogwarts in the past few months... For some reason, Matthew suddenly felt an evil feeling in his heart. cold.

Could it be that the "dramatic change" that Slughorn expected happened today?

……

Let’s return to the mouse Matthew saw a few hours ago.

I have to say that this mouse is far from beautiful... It's gray all over, hairless, and looks a little lethargic...

After bidding farewell to the big ginger cat, Crookshanks, he carefully got into the castle, and while there was no one in the corridor of the castle in the early morning, he climbed quickly in the corridor.

Until it struggled to climb up to a huge and ugly stone monster.

Not far from the feet of the stone monster, there is a small hole... There is no doubt that this is the work of this mouse; it is as if this mouse spent several months digging this hole for some purpose!

The mouse passed through the hole easily, and what appeared around it was a spiral staircase that was slowly moving upward, like an escalator...

Rotating higher and higher, rising higher and higher, finally, the mouse, who looked a little dizzy, saw a shining oak door in front of him, with a brass door knocker in the shape of a griffon.

If you are familiar with Hogwarts, you will definitely know where this is... This is the headmaster's office of Hogwarts!

Theoretically, this should also be where Principal Gellert Grindelwald works.

It was hard to imagine that the principal's office at Hogwarts would be so undefended and without any magical protection, allowing such a mouse to break in so easily.

However, this mouse didn't seem to have any intention of chewing open the wooden door and breaking into the principal's office.

It stayed there, as if something was brewing.

Soon, a head appeared on the ground; limbs stretched out; and after a while, a man stood where the mouse had been, getting up in fear.

This man was very short, not much taller than an average second- or third-year student. His thin light-colored hair was disheveled, and he had a large bald patch on the top of his head. His skin looked dirty, almost like the fur of the previous mouse, and his pointed nose and watery eyes still had the characteristics of a mouse...

So, this is no ordinary mouse.

But an Animagus.

As for this short man, if there were staff from the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic here, they would be able to recognize him very easily——

His name is Peter Pedro, and he is one of the three dark wizards who escaped from Azkaban Prison almost ten months ago.

……

Although Mr. Peter Pedillo looked embarrassed, his eyes were very clear.

He took out his wand, pointed it at the brass door knocker in the shape of an eagle-headed beast, and said softly:

"Dumbledore!"

Only a creak was heard, and the brass door knocker was opened.

The entire principal's office was covered in dust, as if no one had used it for a long, long time.

Peter moved the bench next to the principal's desk, revealing the wall behind it.

Then he raised his wand and pointed it at the wall behind which was carved with ancient patterns——

"Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus!"

The wall carved with ancient patterns cracked little by little in the middle, revealing a deeply hidden door.

Peter seemed shocked too.

He hesitated a little, as if waiting for something.

Almost thirty seconds later, a clear cat meow was heard.

A tabby cat also broke into this place through some unknown means.

It glanced at the hidden door very excitedly——

Then, the tabby cat disappeared and was replaced by a serious-looking woman wearing a pair of square glasses that looked like the lines around cat glasses. She wore an emerald green cloak, and her black hair was pulled into a tight hairpin.

Looking at the deeply hidden door in front of her, she looked extremely excited!

"I think we've found it, Peter!" Professor Minerva McGonagall said tremblingly, "A weapon powerful enough to deal with Grindelwald..."

……

Two figures, one tall and one short, broke into the door hidden in the principal's office.

Inside is a very strange space, surrounded by darkness, and the starry sky can be clearly seen above.

But the time now is far from midnight.

They seemed to be on the top floor of Hogwarts.

Appearing in front of them, there were two stone monuments... one was extremely tall, and the other was quite short.

On the tall stone monument, the names of many students were densely written; on the top of the shorter stone monument, only one name could be seen that made them excited——

"Albus Dumbledore!"

However, there are faint traces of blackening around the name.

Professor Minerva McGonagall looked extremely excited, and it seemed that she had spent a lot of effort to calm herself down.

She took out her wand, pointed it at the stone tablet in front of her, and whispered softly——

This is a very long process.

But as time goes by, the black mark around the name "Albus Dumbledore" is shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye...

"Old and great Hogwarts..." Professor McGonagall said softly, "awaken your consciousness... drive away the usurper and welcome the true master you have chosen!"

As the black mark completely disappeared, the stone tablet suddenly began to tremble.

……

Matthew Wakefield was eating lunch in the auditorium at this moment.

Suddenly, the golden dinner plate on the table pinged and the goblet shook... Everything around him was trembling, everything was shaking...

Was it an earthquake?

But this is impossible. There are detailed records in "Hogwarts: A School History"... With Hogwarts having enough anti-shock magic, even if a nine-magnitude earthquake occurs in Glasgow, there will be no earthquake here. Feel any shock!

"Everyone, please leave Hogwarts Castle in an orderly manner under the leadership of the prefects!" Professor Vita Rosier's voice rang in their ears.

The vice principal's voice was very calm.
