Chapter 69: “Intimidate”

Looking at the gift box in front of Matthew, he saw the book he was strangely familiar with. A book with a funny relationship bound to him.

Matthew burst into laughter, a laughter filled with joy and excitement.

Im not scared, you know! Matthew spoke aloud to the book as if talking to himself. Haha, let me tell you, this is the best Christmas gift Ive ever received. Hands down!

With a wide smile on his face, he stood up from his bed.

He retrieved his dragon leather gloves from the cabinet and wore Theodores Dragon leather protective suit. Fully equipped, he returned to the gift box.

Today is Christmas! And you know what that means? Matthew exclaimed. It means Professor Grindelwald will be at Hogwarts. Usually, during holidays, the Headmaster returns to the school!Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

He paused for a moment, his smile turning mischievous.

So, can you imagine what will happen if I hand you over to Professor Grindelwald?

Matthew was tired of hiding from this mysterious book. Recent events had left him dissatisfied and frustrated. Now, presented with this opportunity, he strongly desired to transfer the book to Gellert Grindelwald.

He wanted to see how the most powerful wizard in Europe would handle it. If even the Headmaster of Hogwarts couldnt solve it, so be it!

Within the dormitory, a gentle breeze seemed to pass through the room.

The book trembled slightly as if trying to dissuade Matthew from his actions.

Unfazed, Matthew wore his dragon skin protective suit and gloves, determined to proceed.

Suddenly, the book in the gift box opened on its own, revealing its true face to Matthew for the first time.

He discovered that the yellowed pages were completely blank, devoid of words.

But then, at a visible speed, two letters materialized on the page:

No!

The letters were written in a crooked, mysterious font with a strange green hue.

You dont want to? Oh, dont worry, I wont embarrass you, Matthew responded with a touch of disdain.

He reached out to grab the gift string but struggled due to the inflexibility caused by his dragon leather gloves.

At that moment, another green line appeared on the blank page:

Matthew hoped it would stay away from him; the farther, the better!

Returning to the dormitory, Matthew removed his thick Dragon skin protective suit and gloves.

What should he do next? Should he still seek out Headmaster Grindelwald?

He might not be able to convince the Headmaster without the physical evidence. Even if he believed Matthew, he might think he was possessed, just as Professor Slughorn had suggested, and could potentially harm him.

With a pensive expression, Matthew left the Slytherin common room, heading to the Great Hall for breakfast, lost in his thoughts.

As he passed the potions classroom, a robust figure approached him, almost colliding with Matthew.

Apologies, Mr. Pringle! Matthew quickly apologized to the castle caretaker.

Wickfield? Mr. Pringle, a large man, scrutinized Matthew from head to toe.

Yes, sir! Matthew nodded.

Ive been looking for you! Mr. Pringle turned his head and strode alongside Matthew.

Simultaneously, he pulled something out of his pocket. This should be yours, right? I found it at the top of the stairs on the second floor. The cover has your name, age, and house written on it.

Matthew remembered Mr. Pringles office located next to the second-floor stairs.

Before Matthew could react, Mr. Pringle had already used the book and smacked him on the head several times.

Dont go around leaving things behind! Pringle scolded vehemently.

He then put the book in the pocket of Matthews robes and walked away.

Matthew stood there in a daze, his body trembling slightly.

He lowered his head and peered into his pocket.

Indeed he hadnt mistaken it earlier.

It was the mysterious book again. Just minutes after its departure, it had returned to his side and into his pocket.

Moments ago, it had made intimate contact with his forehead.

Merlins beard! Matthew exclaimed softly, filled with disbelief.
