Chapter 95: “The Name is Matthew Wickfield”
Its impossible Morgana appeared to panic slightly as she murmured to herself.
Impossible? Matthew responded with a hint of sarcasm. Did you think I hadnt noticed the peculiarities of Harry Evans as early as Halloween? And yet, I did nothing about it in the following months?iced the peculiarities of Harry Evans as early as Halloween? And yet, I did nothing about it in the following months?
Even if Im not foolish enough to expose your true identity publicly, I could easily disclose what Ive discovered to a teacher
Its actually quite simple Matthew paused momentarily before continuing. When I uncovered your true identity, I also uncovered the truth about Hogwarts being nothing more than a trap set specifically for you
Why was Professor Rosier so secretive, suppressing any news related to the attacks? Its because she knew that your goal was to frame Professor Trocar.
Placing Hogwarts under even greater pressure So, the most appropriate response was to treat these incidents with cold detachment!
To the extent that after Halloween, Professor Rosier impersonated Headmaster Grindelwald with a Polyjuice Potion to deter you from further attacking students, hiding in the shadows
Im not afraid of that little Grindelwald! Morgana sneered coldly, though she seemed somewhat unsettled.
But Matthew continued, a smile gracing his face. When concealing the incidents became untenable, why did Professor Trocar willingly confess to the crimes?
They both assumed full responsibility, ensuring Hogwarts wouldnt face even greater scrutiny Simultaneously, it kept you in the dark, letting you grow complacent.
Matthew continued a smile on his face. I believe Professor Rosier and Professor Trocar arent aware of your true identity. After all, theyre just teachers and cant notice what I, as an observant student, can
However, I believe they understand the various plans that Professor Grindelwald has arranged through his seer abilities! Matthew said smugly.
So why are they doing this? Morgana almost roared, her grip on the magical stone tightening.
In order to buy time! Matthew naturally replied. After all, the Dark Witch Morgana is the most formidable dark wizard in British magical history.
Even if Headmaster Grindelwald intends to deal with you, he must proceed cautiously and seize the best opportunity for himself!
And why did Professor Grindelwald relocate the remaining unicorns from Hogwarts after Halloween Its quite simple. The blood of the last two unicorns was merely a taste for you
Without unicorn blood and the elixir, your body grows weaker and your temperament more restless When youre at your most anxious and vulnerable, thats when he will act and personally deal with you!
And now, the Curse began to take effect, little by little!
Grindelwald! Morgana roared and raged.
Simultaneously, she cast a hostile gaze toward Matthew as if venting her anger upon him.
She raised her wand, and a green light shot toward Matthew.
A long, black barrier abruptly materialized in front of Matthew.
It stood between Matthew and Morgana, completely shielding him from the death Curse fired from Morganas wand.
Then, a thick, pale blue mist gradually enveloped the Headmistresss office.
The black barrier also dissipated as the mist dispersed, revealing a figure silently standing behind Matthew.
Matthew turned around and beheld a familiar facea handsome elderly man with neatly trimmed silver-white hair, a mustache, and an old but remarkably distinguished countenance.
Headmaster Grindelwald! Matthew spoke respectfully.
Although he had seen Gellert Grindelwald before, this was the first time he had been in such close proximity to the principal of Hogwarts.
Fear not, child, Grindelwalds voice was gentle, emanating a strong sense of security. I am here.
Yes, Matthew nodded fervently.
Professor Grindelwald raised his wand, directing it towards Morgana on the other side.
In a casual tone, he asked, By the way, my boy, what is your name?
The name is Matthew, Matthew replied softly. Matthew Wickfield.
