The destroyed statue in front of the principal's office, the mysterious big black dog suddenly appeared in the forbidden forest...

In just two days, two major events that shocked the entire Hogwarts!

The next morning, they saw security measures everywhere.

Professor Frieve began to post announcements at the gate of the castle, warning all students to notify the teacher immediately if they see suspicious characters; Mr. Pringer was also very busy, and he ran around the corridor to block various gaps, and even some small mouse holes were not spared; those Aurors were always patrolling the corridors of Hogwarts Castle...

Of course, the fundamental reason for all this is because a boy disappeared.

Of course, it is not Slytherin's students, although they have suffered more or less.

Draco Malfoy was just lost in the forbidden forest, but because he did not go deeper, he quickly walked out in the dark, probably a few minutes after Matthew left Professor Kettleborn's cabin.

Crab and Goll met a bunch of wild demonic nets and were trapped in them; they were almost strangled to death, if it weren't for Professor Snape's arrival in time.

As for Theodore Nott, he was lucky. He fled to the deepest part of the Forbidden Forest and into the territory of the horsemen... Although the relationship between the horsemen and the wizards was very poor, but from the fine tradition of not harming the foals, he was afraid of the threat of Principal Grindelwald; instead, they sent Nott out of the campus and he was intact.

As for Harry Evans, he is the missing boy...

Until the next day, one hundred dementors, plus more than a dozen Aurors and teachers searched repeatedly in the forbidden forest, but they could not find him.

Of course, they couldn't find the big black dog either.

After all, the area of ​​the Hogwarts Forest is too large, and some places in the deepest are very dangerous. Inexperienced Aurors and teachers dare not approach them easily.

If the three Azkaban fugitives chose the depths of the Forbidden Forest as their stronghold, it would be a perfect choice.

However, how those fugitives survived deep in the forbidden forest is a question worth discussing...

...

Matthew and the others were not affected by this incident.

Except for Crabb and Goll who had to go to the school hospital for a few days, the other three Slytherin's sophomore students were basically intact.

Instead, they became "celebrities" of Hogwarts, and people came to ask about the big black dog wherever they were.

Sunday breakfast on a long table in Slytherin

"Can it be an unknown one?" said Gema Farley in horror. "Damn it, you can actually catch such monsters... They are the most terrifying signs... The signs of death..."

"There is nothing unknown at all!" Agnes Lesterlanch on the side retorted with some displeasure, "That kind of creature only exists in the imagination of some wizards... Maybe it's just a stray dog ​​wandering in the forbidden forest..."

"How can stray dogs survive in the Forbidden Forest," Gemma shook her head, "You don't know that there are many terrible monsters in the Forbidden Forest, such as werewolfs... Poor Mr. Evans, even if he was not taken away by unknown people, he must have died long ago at the hands of those terrible monsters... We may have lost him forever..."

As soon as Miss Gema Farley finished speaking, a message suddenly spread to the auditorium

Harry Evans is back, unconscious, found under a British oak tree, without any serious injuries; he has been sent to the school hospital.

Gema's face suddenly turned red and she quickly walked away in shame.

Agnes also showed a proud smile on her face.

It seems that the seven students who entered the Forbidden Forest were all intact.

However, Professor Snape, Matthew, heard that he was severely condemned by Principal Rozier.

Maybe it was because he was not well-careed for his students.

...

Until the afternoon, when Matthew participated in the duel club, the voices of discussing these things still failed to stop.

However, this time in the duel club, only one Professor Flivie was responsible for guiding them; Professor Snape did not come.

Professor Flivie's explanation for this is that Professor Snape is not feeling well.

In addition, Professor Flivie believes that most members of the duel club have already learned the disarming spell almost. So today's course is a new spell

"Iron Armor Curse!"

The Iron Armor Spell is also a very practical spell. It can generate a magic shield and bias objects or spells to dissipate them to protect the caster and their surroundings.

Spells are "armor protection", so they are also called "body protection spells". They are often used in wizard fighting. They are also a very effective method of self-protection besides using cover to avoid spells.

But when it was time to practice, there was another small episode.

Neither Malfoy nor Nott dared to be Matthew's partner. Although after more than a month, the relationship between Matthew and several roommates has been "repaired" and seems to have become "friends" again on weekdays... However, the psychological shadow brought by the first duel club practice is still entangled with them...

Matthew's partner became the third-grade girl named Alia Spinette.

"By the way, how is Harry Evans?" Matthew found out while contacting the spell together.

"I don't know yet..." Miss Spinette replied, "He seems to be still in the school hospital, and we are preparing to visit him in the evening... hopefully get permission from Mrs. Pomfrey."

"So that's it. If Evans is healthy, can you write a letter to tell us; in fact, we are quite worried about him!"

"No problem, I'm ready to remove your weapons!"

"Armor protection!"

...

The practice at the Duel Club lasted for several hours.

But Matthew, who studied the Iron Armored Curse, was far from as smooth as before when he learned the Disarmed Curse.

Of course, this is also related to the difficulty of the Iron Armor Curse than the Disarming Curse.

While putting away his wand and preparing to return to Slytherin's common room, Draco Malfoy suddenly found him

"Matthew!" he whispered, "Professor Slughorn asked me to remind you that at night the Slug Club dinner, be sure not to forget to attend..."

Professor Slughorn seemed to be a little lingering... he was extremely persistent in this dinner!

Matthew frowned, then he nodded.

"Okay, I will participate!" he replied.
Chapter completed!
