"It's ingenious. Dumbledore said appreciatively, "Isn't this life too tiring for an unproductive old fellow who wants to live a quiet life, Horace......?

"If you want to tell me I'm going to have a quieter life in that nasty school, Albus, you might as well save your energy, don't go any further! Yes, I'm in hiding everywhere, but I don't want to be abused, and I've heard some bizarre rumors since the Dolores Umbridge affair came out! If that's how you treat teachers now......"

"I actually did it, and it has nothing to do with Professor Dumbledore. Evan said.

"Oh, you did that?" Slughorn asked, "you ordered the giant to do that kind of thing to her?"

"It was my idea to leave her in the care of the giant, I think the giant would teach him some basic manners, how to respect people, you know, she was so annoying, she did a lot of excessive things at Hogwarts. "But I didn't expect what would happen next, which was absolutely unexpected to me, and I regret what happened to Professor Umbridge." ”

"I was there and knew what was going on, and I didn't blame Aven. Hermione hurriedly followed, "She worked with the Death Eaters to use the Truth Elixir on Aven, and in order to find evidence that Dumbledore overthrew the Ministry of Magic, she forced us to take her to the Forbidden Forest to find the weapon, she believed that Professor Dumbledore hid such a weapon in the Forbidden Forest, and we had to ......"

"Hmph, what a stupid, I've always hated her, ever since she was a student. Slughorn said.

"yes, the point is that she also knew Elaine's identity at the time, Elaine is our classmate, a vampire ......"

"Ho, Hogwarts is now recruiting vampires?" Slughorn said with interest, tossing Umbridge aside.

"Elaine is a special case, she is a descendant of Salazar Slytherin, and there is no reason for Hogwarts to refuse her. Dumbledore said, "Identity is never an obstacle to entering Hogwarts, on the contrary, we should take extra care of those children." ”

"That's your philosophy, Dumbledore, and I neither approve nor disagree with. "But a Slytherin descendant, it's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's the first time I've heard of other Slytherin descendants......"

"We have enrolled several promising students in recent years. Dumbledore said, "In addition to Miss Slytherin, there are also Avan, Harry, and Hermione in front of you, they ......"

"I know!" Slughorn glanced at the three of them, and quickly looked away, "I read the Daily Prophet every day, and they've been mentioning these two boys for the past few months, especially after the Egyptian incident, and they're almost going to praise him!

"It was not us who broke the Daily Prophet, it was themselves, and the public has the right to know the truth. Evan replied.

"You're right. Slughorn nodded, but he didn't continue, and there was silence again.

Just then, Dumbledore suddenly stood up.

"Are you leaving?" asked Slughorn with a look of anticipation on his face.

"No, I just wanted to ask if I could use your bathroom. Dumbledore said.

"Oh. Slughorn was visibly disappointed, and said, "Follow the foyer, and the second door on the left is." ”

Dumbledore walked to the other end of the room, and the room fell silent when the door closed behind him.

After a moment, Slughorn stood up, but seemed undecided.

He stole a glance at Evan and Harry, then strode over to the fireplace, turning his back to the fire, baking his big ass.

"Don't think I don't know why he brought you three. He said suddenly.

"The professor definitely just wants you to see the motivation to go back to teaching. Evan thought for a moment and said, Harry and Hermione were still a little nervous about this strange old wizard, and they didn't know what to say, so he could only open the topic.

"Cunning boy, you're so cunning like him!" Slughorn didn't seem to want to talk to Aven.

He muttered, not even looking at him.

Instead, he quickly glanced at Hermione and turned his gaze to Harry's face.

The tearful eyes glanced at Harry's scar, and this time he had a clear view of his entire face.

"You look a lot like your father. He said slowly.

"Yes, that's what others say. Harry said.

"It's just that your eyes don't look like it, your eyes ......"

"Like my mother, yes. Harry had heard this countless times, and he felt a little bored.

"Hmph, yes, of course, as a teacher, you shouldn't favor students, but I just prefer her. Your mother. Slughorn saw Harry's questioning gaze and added, "Lily Evans, she's one of the smartest students I've ever taught, bubbly and lovely, very talented, a charming girl. I often told her that she was supposed to be in my college, but I often got very unkind answers from her. ”

After a brief silence, Harry glanced at Aven, who had mentioned his current situation and that he didn't know what to say.

Evan raised his head slightly, motioning for Harry to answer.

It can be seen that Slughorn has a very close relationship with Harry's mother, and the impression is very good.

"Well, Professor, what house are you in?"

"I was the Head of Slytherin. Slughorn said.

"Oh, come on!" he said at seeing the look on Harry's face, and immediately dangled a short finger at him, "Don't be hostile to me because of this, childish thoughts, I think, you must be like her, Gryffindor, right?"

"That's right, all three of us are Gryffindors. Harry said.

"Arbus went too far, he brought three Gryffindors!" Slughorn exclaimed.

"As you said, it's nothing. Evan interjected.

"Yes, that's right. Slughorn said disapprehantly, "What about the girl named Elaine, which house is she in?"

"She hadn't been sorted yet, she was at Hogwarts as an exchange student last semester, and it wasn't suitable for her to be sorted alone, and Umbridge had been investigating her at the time. "But this semester, Elaine will be able to sort with the freshmen, and I've heard that there are a few vampires who will also be enrolling, and they're all from her clan and descendants of Slytherin." ”

"They should be in Slytherin. Slughorn immediately said, "For pure-blood wizards, the choice of the academy is passed down from generation to generation, but there are exceptions, have you ever heard of Sirius Black? Oh, you must know that I saw you in the newspaper with his name not long ago, and he seems to be your godfather......"
