"Then he's a genius." Slughorn looked at Harry dotingly, as if he were looking at his own children, "Maybe he just hasn't been able to make the most of his talents in your hands, children do, and at a certain age they will discover their unrevealed talents." ”
"Really?" Snape said calmly, his eyes fixed on Harry like drills. Harry looked a little uneasy.
"Slughorn is excessive." Hermione said to Silver dissatisfied, "It's like it's just Harry. Potter learns well by himself. ”
Silver motioned for Hermione to whisper, "It's okay, Hermione, there's no need to be with people in any way, it's stingy to be heard." ”
"Hmph." Hermione turned her face away in anger and ignored Silver.
"Remind me, what other classes did you take, Harry?" Slughorn smiled even brighter.
"Defence Against the Dark Arts and Herbs class, Professor." Harry. Potter whispered.
"What else?" Slughorn said.
Harry looked embarrassed, "No, Professor. ”
"Harry, this shouldn't be." Slughorn's face became stern, "You can't only ask so much of yourself, I think ......"
Snape let out a sneer, "Professor Slughorn, you obviously don't know anything. It's not that Potter himself doesn't want to be motivated to take these three courses, it's because his grades can only take these three advanced courses. Even if he wants to take a few more classes, he is powerless."
"What?!"
"Professor, I only missed three exams last year, and all three of them are more confident for me." Harry explained.
"I hope so, Potter." Snape said harshly, "I've heard that Headmaster Scrimgeour has been kind enough to help you apply for the make-up exam, so will you be able to take these three courses after the make-up exam?" ”
"Of course, I'll continue to study Charms and Transfiguration."
"Add Defence Against the Dark Arts, Potions, and Herbology, oh, sounds like all the lessons the Aurors need to learn." Snape said coldly, "But I have to warn you, Potter, that the Aurors only accept the best wizards - of course, they sometimes take in defective wizards who are not so good, but have a little bit of a specialty. With your current situation, Potter, I think you can work in the back direction, after all, the Auror office has not yet produced a child star like you. ”
"Yes, I just wanted to be an Auror." Harry said defiantly. "And to be a good Auror, you'll have to worry about it, Professor Snape.
"You'll be a good Auror!" Slughorn said in a loud voice.
"Professor Slughorn," Filch said, the flesh of his jaw shaking, and the goldfish's eyes flashed with the same crazy light as when he caught a student mischievous, "I found this boy hiding in the hallway upstairs, did you send him an invitation?" ”
Malfoy broke free of Filch's grasp, looking furious.
"I wasn't hiding in the hallway at all! It was Sabini who invited me to this party," he said indignantly, "what nonsense are you talking about? Filch! ”
Filch was furious, "You better watch your own attitude!" I'll report to the principal, if you're invited to the prom, why are you hiding in the hallway outside? ”
"If you don't believe me, then you go to the principal." Malfoy said angrily, "If you think you can keep me in confinement, then go ahead." ”
"Boy, you-"
"It doesn't matter, Argus, it doesn't matter," said Slughorn, waving his hand, "even if he doesn't have an invitation from others, it's not a sin to want to go to the ball, let him stay." ”
Filch looked indignant and disappointed, and Harry was a little disappointed, wishing to see Malfoy deflated.
Filch turned and shuffled, muttering as he walked away, Malfoy had already put on a smiling face to thank Slughorn for his leniency, and Snape's expression was calm and unfathomable.
"My grandfather always praised you, sir," Malfoy said at once, "saying that you are the best potions expert he knows......"
"Needless to say, Malfoy." Professor Slughorn looked very cold, "I know Shabini won't invite you - because I saw him come in with a girl in his arms, and he doesn't know where to go, and if he's there, you won't be able to get off the stage, Malfoy." ”
"I have something for you, Draco." Snape said suddenly.
"Well, Severus," said Slughorn, "just teach me a little lesson, and be lenient with the children." ”
"I'm his dean, and it's up to me to decide whether to be strict or not." Snape said briefly, "Follow me, Draco." ”
Malfoy was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't say it, and Harry could see that Malfoy really wanted to say something to Slughorn, but Slughorn didn't want to dwell on him too much.
The two were gone, Snape leading and Malfoy huffing behind.
Harry hesitated for a moment, then made his way out of the crowd and headed for the bathroom. (To be continued......)
