Hogwarts Outsider

After Halloween, the weather became worse and worse.

　　 The tyrannical wind ravaged the entire Hogwarts Castle... Whenever the students went from the castle to the greenhouse for herbal medicine classes, they shivered in the cold north wind, and their bodies almost froze.

　　So that Matthew and the others had to put a thick woolen sweater under the robes to keep out the cold.

　　 One morning in mid-November, when Matthew came to the auditorium as usual, he found that it had become chaotic—

　　 The auditorium was full of people, and the four long tables were almost full. The students around were all chattering and arguing.

　　 "What's the matter?" Matthew looked dumbfounded.

　　 He walked to the long Slytherin table in surprise.

　　 At this time, he discovered that the golden plates on the table were all empty...not as they used to, slowly loading all kinds of food.

　　 Obviously, everyone should be discussing this.

　　 The reason why the auditorium is crowded with so many students is also because of this.

　　 "What's going on..." Draco Malfoy complained loudly over there, "It's almost half past seven, and breakfast hasn't started. We can't go to class on an empty stomach, right?"

　　 "Why hasn't the teacher come to help us make food on the plate!" Theodore Knott also said with great dissatisfaction.

　　 "Food can't be made out of thin air...This violates the Gamp's Law of Transformation..." Prefect Jamal Farley corrected him, "Our usual food is made by house elves for us..."

"... In the Hogwarts kitchen, there are close to a hundred house elves. There are not as many house elves in any house in the UK as here... In addition to three meals a day, they will also Come out to clean up at night, or take care of the stove or something..."

　　 "Then why is it like this today?" Nott asked puzzledly, "Where are the house elves?"

　　 "I don't know..." Jiama shook her head, "It may be the ghost of Pippi... Maybe it's destroyed in the kitchen, causing the house elves to not work in time..."

　　 Pippi Ghost is a Hogwarts ghost who likes to play pranks, but unlike other ghosts, it has entities and can touch objects...

　　 According to rumors, many years ago, it once caused a lot of trouble to Hogwarts Castle; but since Grindelwald became the principal, it has constrained a lot, and its pranks have not been as frequent and bad as before...

　　The number of people in the auditorium is accumulating, and the number of people in ordinary gatherings is faint.

　　Many students became impatient and left the auditorium on an empty stomach.

　　 Just when Ma Xianxian was considering whether to do the same...

　　 A black owl suddenly flew over and threw a note in front of Matthew.

　　 has a very brief paragraph written on it——

　　"Matthew:

　　 You can consider coming to my office, I can help you solve the breakfast problem.

　　 you faithful

　　 H.E.F. Slughorn Professor"

　　……

　　 Obviously, it was not just Matthew who received this letter.

　　Almost every member of the slug club received a letter with almost the same content.

　　 includes Draco Malfoy and Elaine Shafik not far from Matthew.

　　 This is naturally good news, after all, it means no need to go hungry anymore.

The members of the slug club got up and left from the long tables of the four academies; however, none of them said anything at this time, so as not to cause "public anger."

　　 After leaving the auditorium, they walked towards the office of the potions professor.

　　 Neville and Hermione stopped at the top of the stairs on the first floor. Strictly speaking, they were waiting for Matthew to come over—

"It's really great. This letter from Professor Slughorn is really timely..." Neville said excitedly as soon as Matthew walked up to him. "It is said that Hogwarts is still the first in recent decades. I encountered such an accident once..."

　　 "What the **** is going on?" Hermione asked with a look of puzzlement, "Why is there such a problem for breakfast today."

Matthew shook his head: "Our prefect said that it might be because the ghost went to the kitchen to make trouble; but I don’t think it’s very likely...so let’s go to Professor Slughorn’s office first, he may know What..."

　　 Neville and Hermione also agreed.

　　 The three of them came to the door of Horace Slughorn's office together, and when they opened the door, many members of the Slug Club had already arrived here.

"Welcome, children..." Slughorn welcomed the three of them in. "It's the first time this happened in Hogwarts in my memory... But fortunately, my office A lot of fresh food is usually stored...Look, the taste should not be bad."

　　 While talking, he passed a basket of bread rolls to Matthew and the others.

　　 "Thank you!" The three quickly apologized.

　　Navi Longbottom quickly picked up a piece of bread roll and feasted on it. It was obvious that he was a little hungry.

Matthew was not in a hurry to eat. UU read www.uukanshu.com and he asked with concern: "Professor Slughorn, what happened? I heard that it might be Pepi Ghost who broke into the kitchen. Leading to the kitchen over..."

"Pippi, no, how is it possible..." Slughorn quickly denied, "It doesn't have the guts... The real reason, I am afraid there is only one, that is the house elves in the kitchen, they are trying strike……"

　　 "Strike?" Neville's mouth was still stuffed with bread, and his voice was a bit vague.

Some reluctantly swallowed all the food in his mouth, Neville was very surprised and shouted: "I don't think it is possible...House elves are the most loyal creatures. They are proud of their work and ashamed of freedom to wander... …How could there be such a thing as a strike?"

　　 "I don't know," Slughorn smiled bitterly. "But Mr. Longbottom, that's what happened."

　　 "How long will it take to end?" Hermione asked from the side, she looked worried.

"Of course I hope it can be over now. It is said that Professor Rozier is thinking about a solution..." Professor Slughorn shook his head, "Of course, if the house elves are unwilling to resume work, Hogwar Cis will definitely change other plans, don’t worry too much."

　　While talking, Slughorn brought them a plate of sausages, a plate of bacon, and a large glass of milk.

　　 Such a breakfast is quite hearty.

　　 "The taste is actually pretty good!" Neville murmured, "You guys eat more too!"
