"I'm glad Gale just let you review the stuff in your books!" Remus said, crouching down to look at Siris lying on the ground, "Think of the tome Gale used to see, if he wanted you to ...... together."

The unfinished meaning of the words made Siris and James shudder together. If he really had to get all those tomes clear, Siris felt like he was going to die. He glanced at the gentle, smiling Remus who was squatting in front of him, and immediately pounced on him and hugged Remus's thigh: "Remus! We're good buddies! The best! Don't remind Gail! ”

Remus, who was thrown to the ground by Siris, looked at Siris, who couldn't shake off his legs, and smiled helplessly: In fact, Gail didn't have this plan at all, so Siris didn't have to worry about it at all.

Lily felt that it was actually the two of them who had done their own thing. Students, you should study hard! Who let these two people not do their jobs every day, and they also get by with homework and exams. No one knows when what we've learned will be used, and Gail is only right to let these two men consolidate their basic knowledge.

Of course, for the two who seem to have only one breath left now, Lily will not be ruthless and stab again, but it always doesn't matter if she gloates silently in her heart.

Time is like sand in your hand, passing before you know it. Christmas is coming soon, and no matter how studious a student is, it will be difficult to maintain the same flat mind as usual during the upcoming festive season. Everyone was planning what they were going to do for the Christmas holidays, and the atmosphere at the school was as lively as December in previous years.

Severus and Gale will not stay in school, Gale plans to test if he can take another step into the Dzogchen during the Christmas season, and Severus wants to test the difference between the werewolf's blood and hair during the full and non-full moon periods to support his suspicions.

While everyone was making all sorts of good plans for the upcoming Christmas holidays, Professor Slughorn sat down in his office chair with the letter in his hand.

His face was pale, and his lips trembled slightly with fear or nervousness. Slughorn read the letter in his hand again, and finally gritted his teeth, but wrote back: "Dear Lord Dark Lord, I am glad to invite you, and I will definitely go to the appointment on time. ”

Yes, the person who wrote was Voldemort. Recently, Voldemort felt that his feelings were becoming more and more irritable, and he would punish his subordinates for some trivial things. Originally, when he was making the black magic mark, he said to himself that it was just a deterrent, but now......

Voldemort, as a man of great magic and knowledge, had a guess about his situation. So he sent a letter to Slughorn, asking him to make some potions for him at regular intervals. After all, he himself has a lot of things to do every day, and he can't always stay in front of the crucible.

Both the Magic Stabilizer and the Soul Stabilizer are complex potions that require a lot of time and energy to make, and Voldemort felt that he should only use the best, and naturally he would not take the big currency in those pharmacies for a long time. Well, a Potions Master is undoubtedly a must. Voldemort, who received Slughorn's reply, was in a good mood and rarely did not punish the people around him.

But the good mood didn't last long, because soon, he recalled what he had experienced when he didn't have great strength, which made him feel irritable. Then, he thought back to the conversation he had had with the Potions Master about Horcruxes, and his mind calmed down again.

Voldemort smiled nervously at the thought that he had so much □□ to ensure that his life would never have anything to do with death. He stretched out his hand, stroked the cool scales on Nagini's body beside him, and said to Nagini in a "hiss" Parseltongue tone, "We're going to meet old friends again, aren't we?" It was a pleasure. ”

Beside him, the black-robed Death Eaters couldn't help but shudder or look at Voldemort feverishly when they heard this. Those who fear him make him a god, and those who love him make him a god.

Voldemort smiled happily as if he could see the expressions on all of them. Laughter echoed through the halls of Voldemort's manor.

Naturally, Slughorn is not going to sit still. He is cunning and philistine, and naturally does not let himself be caught in a dilemma. So after a Potions class before the holidays, he left Severus behind.

More often than not, Slughorn turned a blind eye to both Seaver and Gail. This situation worries Gail, and if something goes wrong, there must be a demon, which is not a good sign.

Slughorn really cherishes his talents, which is why he ignored Gail and Seaver for a long time before, and protected them with a low profile. But this is conditional - his life is safe. Now that he has been invited by a moody and magical person, it is very likely that his life will be lost, so the person who was once "sheltered" by him is naturally not as important as himself.

Slughorn wasn't really a bad guy, he was just a normal guy who wasn't so brave. He doesn't mind helping some people without harming his own interests, or providing protection intuitively on his own. Not necessarily when danger comes.

Of course, he wasn't so desperate to replace himself with a third-year student. Not to mention that Voldemort would not think that a student could be better than a Potions master, and even he himself could not think so, unless his brain was in water.

But that didn't stop him from finding a way back for himself. He's getting old, and he's probably going to be too old to concentrate on making potions for long periods of time. Then, a young man who is about to graduate, who has been □□ by himself as a Potions master, and who has no support from any power, and who has outstanding Potions talents, is undoubtedly the best successor! When the time comes, won't it be easy for him to get out?

Slughorn, who was full of expectations that Severus would say yes, was a little dumbfounded after hearing Severus's answer.

"I'm sorry Professor, I had to refuse your kindness." Severus said, feeling as weird as Gail.

"Young man, think about it before you answer me." Slughorn thought that Severus would reject him because of the ignorance he had had in the previous years, so he said to Severus kindly, "It's good that you have a talent for potions and are willing to work hard." But you're a stunned young man with no background, and I have to ignore your outstanding talent to protect you. But my sense of responsibility doesn't allow you to continue to take detours, which will make you waste at least ten more years. ”

Severus was now incredibly sure that Slughorn had something to ask of him. His face was blank and unappreciative: "Then please ask the professor to continue to ignore me." Otherwise, if you personally instruct me in potion techniques, it will only push me, a stunned young man with no background, to the forefront, right? ”

Slughorn was gagged by his own words, and for a moment he was a little speechless. He waved his hand to signal Severus to leave, but he didn't give up so easily.

If you want Voldemort to let go of himself, ordinary excellence can't be done, and he must be talented enough to be at the level of himself, a potions master who has been immersed in □□ potions for decades. In this way, Slughorn pulls and pulls the students he has taught, as if only Severus can be pinched by himself.

Severus left the Potions classroom with a blank face, and saw Gail waiting at the door.

Gail saw Severus coming out and hurriedly greeted him: "Severus, why did Professor Slughorn keep you?" ”

"He wanted to take me as a student." Severus said, rubbing Gail's hair.

Gail heard Seaver's words, and his eyes widened suddenly: "You didn't agree, did you?" No, right! ”

"Nope. I already have Bruce and that one, naturally I don't need another teacher. Severus took Gail's hand and left the Potions classroom.

The two men walked out of the hallway and came to an open spot before stopping.

Gail felt that something was wrong from the moment he heard Severus say that Slughorn was going to take Seaver as a student. If the other party is sincere, then it will not be as simple as being a student, but will make Severus his apprentice! The apprentice of the Potions Master has a magical contract, and the inheritance of the apprentice is even higher than that of all the relatives of the Master himself, and he has the right to inherit a fortune of the Potions Master.

But "students", is this different from all the students at Hogwarts who are able to take Potions classes? Gail didn't know that there was such a title in the Potions world.

As I said before, there must be a demon when things go wrong! There must be something wrong with this. But why did Slughorn do this? On the one hand, he didn't really want to give all his experience skills to Seaver, and on the other hand, he wanted to teach Seaver in his potions skills.

"It should be because in the future I will be more useful than the skills he gave me, so I will do this." Severus is not as concerned as Gail, nor is he obsessed with the authorities, but sees it more clearly.

"More useful than skill?" Gail repeated, feeling as if he knew something. He looked at Severus and said word for word, "It must have something to do with Voldemort." ”

"Why do you think so?" Severus asked.

Gail scratched his ears and spun around twice in place a little irritably: "I don't know as much and as much as you know about potions, I want to ask if there are any potions that can make unstable souls...... Well, more comfortable? What are the required skills? Or can it be boiled as long as it is an individual? ”

Severus immediately gave the answer after Gale finished speaking: "The soul stabilizer can only be boiled at the master level." ”

"Soul stabilizer? Well, obviously, that's it. Britain is still young, and the old Potions Master with Voldemort is only Slughorn, isn't it? He must be trying to cause trouble. Gale said, immediately seeing through Slughorn's intentions, and even guessing what the potion Voldemort needed.
