Putting the asleep Astoria back into her bed, Jon walked out of her room.

Then, following the same route, he returned to the dining room at Greengrass Manor.

But at the door of the dining room, Jon stopped...... For when he saw a phoenix curled up in the corner, he looked up pitifully, and glanced at Jon with a mournful look, as if to say, "Why are you eating and drinking in the dining room, and I am going to starve outside?"

Jon smiled a little awkwardly and whispered, "I'm sorry, I ......"

The phoenix tucked its head back into its wings, pretending not to hear what Jon was saying.

"I'll give you a good time when I go back!" Jon said, heartbroken.

Fawkes burrowed his head out of his wings as fast as he could, winking at Jon as if to confirm that what he had just said didn't count...... The unpleasant, pitiful expression that had been there before had disappeared without a trace.

"Who did you learn this from?" Jon muttered.

Seeing that Phoenix was a little anxious, he had to wave his hand to her gently: "No problem, I'll let you eat happily after I'll finish one more thing later." ”

The phoenix nodded hurriedly, and then flapped its wings, looking quite a kind of spirit of going up the knife mountain and going down to the sea of fire, and going to the soup and fire.

"Let's go, it's time for us to get out of here!" Jon bent down and gently touched her head.

Fawkes flew up without hesitation, apparently eager to get out of this "right and wrong" place that starved her.

"Do you remember the way you came...... Alright, take me to the living room!" Jon whispered.

Fawkes nodded and flew ahead, while Jon followed her in the direction of the manor's parlor.

......

"Jon!" Mrs. Diana-Greengrass was already waiting for him in the drawing-room, she had changed into a white knit and a black skirt, looking simple, generous, but very decent.

"Ma'am. Jon stopped.

"Sit down for a while!" Mrs. Greengrass took out her wand, and two teacups flew out of the cabinet in the parlor and flew in front of her, "Do you want something...... Black tea, green tea, or milk tea?"

"Let's make tea!" Jon said casually.

Both teacups were filled with black tea, and one of them flew in front of Jon.

Jon had to pick it up and take a sip.

Mrs. Greengrass drank a cup of tea and asked, "How's Astoria doing?"

"She's asleep and she's emotionally stable now...... It's very important to keep her emotionally stable so that it can give me more time. Jon replied calmly.

"I know very well that I've been doing this all these years. Mrs. Greengrass said lightly: "I will do my best in the future!"

"I'm sorry......" Jon suddenly remembered his "sudden disappearance" a year ago, which hurt Astoria a lot mentally...... Perhaps the sudden outbreak of her illness had something to do with it.

"It's none of your business. Mrs. Greengrass shook her head, "Didn't you tell me to take you to someone, and we'll leave now?"

"That's what I'm going to do. Jon nodded.

"Who do you want to go to?" asked Mrs. Greengrass again.

Jon replied with a serious face, "Hogwarts' new Potions professor - Horace Slughorn. ”

......

Jon only knew two wizards, and it was possible that they knew the full process of making Horcruxes.

The first wizard was Voldemort, of course, he made six Horcruxes with his own hands, and the remains of four of them were still in his suitcase, but it seemed unrealistic to go to Voldemort for advice, and with Voldemort's strength and cunning, he didn't expect to be able to catch him anytime soon, the Order of the Phoenix or the Ministry of Magic.

The second wizard is Voldemort's teacher: Professor Horace-Slughorn. Voldemort's knowledge of Horcruxes comes partly from Cutting-Edge Dark Arts Revealed, which is in Jon's suitcase, and partly from Professor Slughorn.

It wasn't easy to get news from Professor Slughorn, he was a good occlusion and potions expert, and he didn't want to expect the Guardian or the Truth Elixir to be useful to him, not to mention that he was also very skilled in memory magic, and he had already modified that unbearable memory in private.

In the original books, Dumbledore and Harry Potter spent a lot of effort just to get a memory that he admitted to teaching Voldemort how to make Horcruxes...... What I want is a complete production method, which will be even more difficult.

Professor Slughorn has a weakness, he likes to associate with famous and powerful wizards...... Perhaps there is a connection between Mrs. Diana Greengrass, a former high-ranking official of the Ministry of Magic, and a former student of Professor Slughorn.

"Horace-Slughorn?" Mrs. Greengrass was slightly stunned, then said in a somewhat mocking tone, "Our Slug Dean?"

"You and him...... Familiar?" Jon asked tentatively.

"Not counting when he was a student, he preferred the Gryffindor Ivans, and I was one of the people he ignored. Mrs. Greengrass shrugged, "But when I became the head of the Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures at the Ministry of Magic, he was the first person to send me a congratulatory letter. ”

"Sounds ...... Pretty snobbish?"

"The Slughorn family's rules of survival, they are arguably one of the oldest wizarding families in the whole of Britain...... Never take sides, always neutral, never get involved in any disputes, and try not to offend any potential wizard. Mrs. Greengrass smiled:

"You're looking for me to find the right person, he wrote me a letter the other day, saying that he is about to return to Hogwarts to teach, and at the same time he asked me and my two daughters if they need him to take care of them a little......"

"Did you reply?" Jon asked quickly.

"Not yet...... So now the visit is not abrupt. Mrs. Greengrass said calmly.

"That's great......" Jon breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go now, then!" Mrs. Greengrass nodded, then turned to ask, "Jon, will you apparition?"

"Not yet...... Although......," Jon said with some hesitation.

"That's okay, just hold my hand!" Mrs. Greengrass gracefully extended her right hand to him.
