Horace is not supported by the pure-blood theory, and his statement is probably just an inappropriate analogy. Dumbledore said, "As he said, Harry, your mother was one of his favorite students when she was at school. ”

Raghorn spoke of Lily many times, and Harry struggled to think about what her mother looked like when she was younger.

"I have to use one of them, because there are so many students that Horace has a crush on. Dumbledore continued, "He likes to make friends with famous, successful, powerful people, he likes to be at his mercy, he never wants to be in charge of power, but prefers to be relegated to a secondary position, so that the world is wider and more comfortable." When he was at Hogwarts, he always liked to pick his favorite students, sometimes because of their ambition or intelligence, sometimes because of their charm or talent, and he had an unusual knack for picking people who would go on to excel in all walks of life. ”

"It's the wizards he showed off to us. "Look, he didn't forget to take their autographed photos with him when he ran for his life, and he didn't forget the gifts that everyone gave him, how much he liked it." ”

"It may have become his instinct, a part of his life. Dumbledore said.

"By the way, Professor, we just heard him talk about a club that all the people are members of......"

"Yes, Horace has a club with himself at its core, made up of his protégés. He gets them to know each other, make useful connections, and always end up with some kind of benefit, either as a free crate of his favorite candied pineapple or as a chance to recommend a clerk to the Elven Liaison Office. Dumbledore nodded, "He's using it to exert his influence......"

"It's like a spider!" Hermione said quietly and quickly, as she and Evan had just thought of going together.

Immediately in Harry's mind, a big fat and bulging spider spit out a thread here and there, forming a web around its body, luring the big, delicious and juicy flies to him.

"Well, I'll tell you this. Dumbledore continued, "Not to make you disgusted with Horace, or Professor Slughorn, but to be vigilant. He's going to woo you, especially you, Harry, and you're sure to be his top priority, and you'll be the jewel of his collection: the Boy Who Doesn't Die, or, as they've recently called you, the Star of Saviour. ”

"He's going to woo me, but ...... Evan?"

"Yes, he will also win over Aven, and he will not let go of every student who can get ahead in the future. Dumbledore said, "But as you have just seen, he is very wary of Evan's attitude, and I think he should keep his distance from Aven for a while. ”

"Why?"

"Horace had suffered in this area before, which made him less fond of wizards with too much magical power. Dumbledore thought for a moment and added, "Maybe it's an instinctive fear of danger, maybe he doesn't want things to be out of his control." I think he'll be looking at Aven for a while to decide whether or not to do it, but it's also a matter of time. And you, Hermione, when he really recognizes what is unusual about you, he certainly won't be tempted to do the same to you......"

I don't know if it was because of the cold and biting fog of the night, or because of Dumbledore's compliments, Hermione's face was flushed.

She seemed a little embarrassed and leaned over to Evan's side.

Evan couldn't help but think that Dumbledore said that Slughorn had suffered this loss before, which made him particularly cautious about strength, which should refer to Voldemort's affairs, and he remembered that Riddle had obtained information about Horcruxes from him.

Therefore, Slughorn was also one of the few wizards who knew that Voldemort had made multiple Horcruxes, and this became the source of his fear, Slughorn believed that Voldemort was invincible and could not be killed, but the old wizard did not yet know that Voldemort was already moving in a more evil direction.

For a while, no one spoke, and they were all thinking about their own thoughts.

Harry felt a chill in his body as he looked deeper into the night.

He remembered the words he had heard a few weeks ago, the words that had a terrible and special meaning for him: two people cannot both live......

That prophecy orb, the prophecy that foreshadowed his chosen by Voldemort, what would happen to his future?

After a few minutes, Dumbledore stopped, standing parallel to the church they had passed earlier.

"We have to hurry, it's getting late, I wrote a letter earlier informing Molly that she will bring you over, and she must be waiting for us now. Dumbledore said, "Come on, hold on to my arm." ”

In the blink of an eye, they appeared on a country road.

The crooked but familiar silhouette in front of him is the Burrow.

"Why is it the Burrow, not that I want to go to the Order of the Phoenix......," Hermione said in surprise.

"It was supposed to be so, but the plans changed, and Rufus asked to confirm Harry's location at all times so that he could provide protection, and he told me this afternoon that Harry would not be allowed to 'disappear' from under his eyes. Dumbledore explained, "Knowing the prophecy, it's not surprising that he would think so, but then the Order of the Phoenix headquarters is not suitable, and we can't tell the Ministry of Magic where it is." ”

"So, we're at the Burrow?"

"Yes, the Ministry of Magic is here to provide the tightest protection they can. Dumbledore said, "And Arthur and Molly welcome you here, although it causes them a certain amount of inconvenience, such as the fact that all their mail has to be checked by the Ministry before it can be delivered." But they don't mind in the slightest, and they only care about the safety of the three of you. ”

Although it was because of himself that he had caused the Weasleys all these troubles, Harry had to admit that he couldn't help but be happy when he saw the Burrow, Ron was here, and Mrs. Weasley, and she cooked better food than anyone he knew......

"The Burrow was great, I loved it here. Evan said.

Compared to the gloomy old Black House, it is significantly more relaxed.

Although the place was a bit smaller, and it was not easy to do any assault at night, Mrs. Weasley was very welcoming.

Then there were Fred and George, and the last time Evan was in contact with them was a few months ago.

At that time, their prank joke shop received a lot of orders, and I don't know how it is running now?
