Chapter 136: “Draco’s Plan”

Matthew observed the four figures before him with a steady demeanor.

In truth, Draco, Theodore, Vincent, and Gregory were never truly his friends in this world.

Unlike Hermione and Neville, who had accepted Matthew as a friend from the moment they met on the Hogwarts Express, Draco and the others had treated him as an outsider since he joined Slytherin a year ago.

Their attitude towards him had improved only until the incident involving the books attack on them.

Their connection wasnt driven by friendship but rather by fear or some form of vested interest.

Thus, when Draco confessed his wrongdoing, Matthew felt a mild surprise but wasnt shocked.

What truly astonished him was not Dracos actions but rather the books earlier revelation.

Draco, Theodore, Vincent, and Gregory stared back at Matthew in a mix of terror and uncertainty, their expressions echoing a chaotic mess of emotions.

Matthews mood remained unswayed as he coldly instructed, Come in and close the door.

Matthew was uncertain how he was perceived by his four roommates.

He might appear terrifying to them.New novel chapters are published on

But he wasnt concerned; he didnt mind leaving a more profound impression on them.

Lets get to the point, he stated impassively. Tell me about that plan of yours.

He withdrew his wand and idly toyed with it as he spoke, maintaining an air of nonchalance.

Draco and Theodore exchanged a glance, their eyes betraying their intense fear.

It was Draco who proposed the idea! After a brief hesitation, Theodore opted to disclose the truth.

At the end of the summer break, Draco devised the plan. He suggested that, as noble pure-blood wizards, we couldnt allow someone someone to hold authority over us within the dormitory. It was a disgrace.

The plan was overly simplistic, with a touch of naivety in the execution, clearly the concoction of twelve-year-old youngsters.

Even if the book hadnt interfered and thwarted their scheme, they might not have been successful in their initial objective.

Matthew didnt believe that Mr. Pringle alone could expel him from Hogwarts.

He still held onto a sliver of confidence.

However, should he be caught blatantly violating school rules, hed undoubtedly face severe consequences.

Draco! Matthew ignored the others, his gaze fixed on Draco.

It was clear that Draco was the instigator, with the rest serving as accomplices.

You deem my actions worthy of such retaliation? I fail to see how Ive wronged you to such an extent, Matthews voice carried a biting edge.

With a casual flick of his left hand, his wand assumed a poised position, almost as if ready to cast a spell.

After all, care to explain? Matthew prodded.

Dracos complexion turned pallid and unsightly, his expression a mixture of guilt and apprehension.

It was foolish of me Matthew my mistake Forgive me he stammered.

Matthew then pointed his wand at Draco, asking, Tell me, who suggested this idea?

Draco hesitated momentarily before replying softly, It was my father. He gave me the idea

A heavy silence settled in.

The other four awaited Matthews response, their anxiety palpable.

Finally, Matthew broke the silence. Wheres the Draught of Living Death you stole? Hand it over. Its far too dangerous to carry something like that.

After a brief hesitation, Draco retrieved a small glass bottle from his pocket
