Chapter 32: “Calm Life”
Theodore Notts second hospitalization didnt create much commotion at Hogwarts.
On the one hand, students from other houses remained unaware of the incident.
On the other hand, Slytherin students who knew about it accepted Madam Pomfreys explanation that Notts accident resulted from his failure to Follow the doctors advice.
Over time, the impact of the previous attack gradually waned, and Hogwarts returned to its peaceful state.
Life continued as usual, except that the Slytherin boys dormitory once again belonged to Matthew Wickfield alone, which was a welcomed change.
However, Matthew couldnt forget Notts words before he fainted Its still here.
He deduced that the book must still be in his bedroom.
Despite his thorough search, the book remained elusive.
Days passed, and the book showed no sign of reappearing.
It seemed to have vanished from his life completely.
Nevertheless, Matthew chose not to let it intimidate him and faced his new life calmly.
The second week of classes proceeded smoothly.
In Herbology, Professor Sprout led them into the greenhouse, although it housed only the least dangerous and rare plants.
As class ended, Professor Rozier assigned another lengthy essay.
The second week at Hogwarts came to an end.
Matthew Wickfield felt increasingly familiar with life at the school, growing accustomed to it and perhaps even developing a fondness for it.
Reciting the password, Pure Blood is Thicker Than Muggles Blood, he entered the Slytherin common room.
Soon after, he noticed the new password for the next two weeks on the bulletin board Noble Ambition.
He wrote it down in his notebook and entered his bedroom.
Matthew realized something strange was happening inside the room. In the dark, on top of his desk, there is a glowing green light.
He cautiously goes to his desk, realizing it was the After School Practice parchment.
It continued glowing in a green light; when Matthew examined it, he found letters written on the blank parchment.
