Chapter 156: All-out arrest
Huge body, fluffy hair, fierce eyes!
This big black dog that suddenly appeared looked like a monster that had just escaped from hell!
It leaps high and then runs wildly towards their place.
"Ahhhhhh--"
Draco Malfoy let out a terrible scream. He reacted the fastest and ran away the first time he ran...
Theodore Nott, who was the first to discover the big black dog, also rolled and crawled, fleeing desperately from the depths of the forest.
The "brave" Crab threw the cold quail in his hand towards the big black dog.
He tried to attract the other person's attention with the help of the half of the cold quail.
As a result, the big black dog did not stop at all, nor did he look at the half of the cold quail. Instead, he grinned at Crab's sharp teeth. Its sharp teeth made people tremble.
"ah--"
Crab also screamed and fled far behind Gole.
Not to mention Matthew, his reaction was only a little slower than Malfoy, and he had already started running away.
Only Harry Evans was stunned for a while before he got up in a mess...
All six people fled in panic, and almost in different directions.
But Matthew was not as panicked as his companions.
He at least ran away along the way he came and deliberately ran to the Hogwarts Castle.
And the other people, many of them escaped, are deeper in the forbidden forest...
...
That big dog...
Could it be Cyris Black’s “Animagus” form?
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it is a magical creature with a very similar appearance to Black.
Matthew was running wildly while falling into deep thought—
He was not in a hurry. After all, he didn't have to run away faster than the big black dog...
Essentially, it's enough that he just needs to run faster than a few "companions".
Considering Crabb and Gol's lack of exercise and Harry Evans's slim figure, Matthew is likely to be able to run further than them.
And judging from the movement behind him, the big black dog did not chase him.
But he was curious, if the big black dog was really Sirius Black, then why would he openly expose himself?
After all, he could not catch all of them... Someone must have escaped, and then spread the story of a strange big black dog in the forbidden forest in Hogwarts--
With the shrewdness of Principal Rozier and the Aurors, it is very likely that they would guess that the Big Black Dog has something to do with several Azkaban fugitives...
Why did he take such a great risk to suddenly expose his whereabouts...
Is it related to Harry Evans?
Matthew couldn't figure it out.
Because he was on the edge of the forbidden forest, Matthew easily ran out of the jungle without much effort; the surrounding environment became brighter and brighter.
Not far away, in front of the hut of Professor Kettleborn, a teacher in the magic animal class, Professor "Severus Snape" just walked out, holding a big cauldron in his hand.
Seeing Matthew suddenly escape from the forbidden forest in such a hurry, he hurriedly walked over.
"What's going on, Mr. Wakefield..." Professor Snape asked with a serious face.
"A big black dog...the professor...is very terrible..." Matthew stopped and said breathlessly, "It may also be a wolf. Sorry, I didn't see clearly...it suddenly attacked us...we accidentally dispersed during its pursuit, and I don't know where the others have escaped..."
Matthew described the scene at that time as much as possible to Professor Snape.
"Snape" frowned slightly and put the pot on the ground: "I'll go to the forbidden forest now to see. You take this to find Professor Kettleborne, tell him about this, and let him inform Principal Rozier..."
After saying that, he rushed quickly into the depths of the Forbidden Forest.
Matthew squinted his eyes and glanced at Professor Snape's back-
I have to say that after such an accident, he acted a little too calm...
It seemed as if all this was within his expectations.
Matthew bent down calmly and carried the big pot.
The pot was heavy, and a fragrant smell came out of it...a bit like the "rock crust" that Matthew had eaten at Professor Kettleborn.
This made Matthew a little hungry.
...
A quarter of an hour later.
Matthew Wickfield sat in front of Professor Keitelborn's office, gnawing on a rock crust while looking in the direction of the Forbidden Forest.
I have to say that just relying on a little dry food is not enough to satisfy your hunger; eating some hot food will obviously be more comfortable.
After receiving Matthew's report, Professor Keitelborn ran to the castle as quickly as possible.
Just five minutes later, the entire Hogwarts seemed to be "shocked".
Now, countless black monsters are floating in the sky... There are almost one hundred of them, and all the dementors around Hogwarts have been dispatched!
Even here, you can still vaguely feel the chill emitted by the dementor.
There are also those Aurors who have been staying in Hogwarts recently, who have broken into the Forbidden Forest one after another.
Principal Vita Rozier also came, and she was talking to Professor Keitelborn and Mr. Auror Frank Longbottom.
I have to say that their reaction speed was much faster than Matthew thought...
This even made Matthew a little worried about Sirius Black's safety, if the big black dog was really him...
"Wickfield!" Principal Rozier suddenly walked towards this side. Matthew quickly put down the rock crust in his hand and stood up respectfully.
Professor Rozier obviously came to inquire about the details of the time from Matthew, the client.
Matthew did not reserve any reservations, leaving Professor Snape in the Forbidden Forest, and the terrifying big black dog suddenly appeared. All this happened without adding any "inflicting fuel to the fire", and he informed Professor Rozier.
Professor Rozier's face began to fluctuate, and she seemed to be in deep thought-
But just a few seconds later, her face suddenly changed.
"Longbaton, you are responsible for the situation here first!" He shouted loudly at Mr. Frank Longbaton, and she ran quickly to Hogwarts Castle.
Looking at Professor Rozier's back, Matthew was slightly stunned.
"Can I return to the castle, Professor Kettleborne, and Mr. Longbottom?" he asked softly.
Mr. Frank Longbotton did not answer.
However, Professor Keitelborn smiled at Matthew kindly: "Of course, I think Professor Snape's after-class practice should end today..."
