05 Slug Club

"I'm going to have a slug club meeting tomorrow night, and I'm going to have some of the students in the school." Horace excitedly said that he had finally found the joy he had before being a teacher at school.

Horace Slughorn is an extremely interesting old man, with a round bald head, a walrus-like beard, and a big belly that makes this old man greedy for pleasure come to life.

Slughorn was also a passionate old man, having been an old colleague of Dumbledore's.

During Tom Riddle's time, he served as the Head of Slytherin House at Hogwarts, but after Voldemort gained power, Slughorn went into hiding until Dumbledore invited him back to Hogwarts to teach Potions.

Slughorn loved to associate with famous and powerful people, and he founded the Slug Club at Hogwarts, which consisted of young witches and wizards from prominent families or extraordinary talents, and Slughorn always benefited from his protΓ©gΓ©s.

However, this old man, who thought he had a unique vision, made a big mistake.

He mislooked at a student and mistakenly gave the student some taboo information.

This memory made him ashamed to speak up decades later, and it was Slughorn who told Voldemort about the existence and function of the Horcruxes.

Although Horace, the elderly professor, may have some personality weaknesses of his own, Horace is definitely not a bad, evil wizard, he is at best playing a role of influencing others, but few of Horace's students, even if the former members of the Slug Club have graduated, are deeply affected by Horace.

In addition to Tom Riddle, he has been using Horcruxes to protect himself until now.

"Aha...... The Slug Club, it's really nostalgic. Snape said lightly that the Slug Club was one of Lily Potter's favorite school organizations, and there were a lot of smart classmates in it, and Lily Potter would talk to Snape about the Slug Club when she had some free time.

"Missed? I'm not in a hurry to have you invited Snape. Horace blinked, then pointed to the pile in the corner of the doorway, asking for something to be taken out while he was leaving.

"When I was cleaning up your office, I found a lot of very dangerous things, some potions are even deadly, you put such dangerous things in the office, some little wizards are still very simple, they don't think that some bottles and cans are harmful."

Horace was rather loudly accusing Snape, who was a Potions professor who analyzed the problem from a professional perspective.

"Yes, I'll take care of these things." Snape pulled out a long pocket, the one that had cast the Stretch Without a Trace.

"No need, I've already taken care of everything for you, and I'll keep all the dangerous potions for you." Horace said, waving his hand.

Snape realized that at least half of his original things were missing.

"Okay!" Although it was helpless, Horace was still the head of Slytherin House before, so it was difficult for Snape to say something against him, so he could only say goodbye to the other party.

"Slug club? What is that? Ascinsha was still discussing the topic with Hermione when she came out, as the two of them had also received an invitation from Horace to prepare delicate snacks and drinks in his office tomorrow night, and then invite some of the students over for the party.

"A gathering between students?" Asinsha then asked.

Hermione shook her head, "I've read a book in the library about the history of Hogwarts School, and the Slug Club is mentioned in modern times. ”

Hermione struggled to recall that the history of Hogwarts had been written by the school's students since its founding, and that he had placed it in the Hogwarts School Library, in a most prominent place, where anyone could go and add to it.

In it, Hermione saw a record of the Slug Club.

"The Slug Club is a Hogwarts gathering run by Professor Horace Slughorn to invite outstanding students, children of famous and successful people, and children from families with good connections in the wizarding world."

Hermione recounted the message accurately.

Asin Sha frowned, feeling that she didn't have a good impression of the so-called slug club.

"But it is undeniable that the vast majority of the people who graduated from the Slug Club now have very good achievements in the wizarding world, and Professor Horace is also quite accurate in seeing people." Hermione said.

"So you're planning to come over tomorrow night to join this slug club?" Asin Sha looked at her and said.

Hermione nodded affirmatively.

"Well, although I didn't want to come, but tomorrow my brother will usually be invited, Horace is a professor of Potions, my brother will never refuse the professor's invitation, he is a very good teacher, this concept is very important in his heart." Asinsha finished and took Hermione's hand.

"Have you thought about it, my brother will be graduating this year, and he will leave Hogwarts."

"What?" Hemin was at the temperature of Ah Sinsha's palm, and he didn't understand what the other party meant.

"After graduating and leaving school, he has his own life in the wizarding world, anyway, he will never go out to find a job, maybe he will always stay in the family, and you will have to stay at Hogwarts for another year before you graduate, and after graduation, if you live in the wizarding world, you have to find a suitable job, or do something to support yourself, if you go to the Muggle world, then you have to hide the secret that you are a wizard."

Asinsha looked at Hermione and then shook her head, "But no matter what kind of life you live, you will drift away from my brother on such days, although Hermione is not hitting you, but I think it is really difficult for you and Sherlock to have that kind of ......"

Asin Sha snapped her fingers and then said, "It's hard to have that kind of love communication, unlike us, we've played around many times, and you don't resist me." ”

"What do you mean by that? Let me choose between you and Sherlock? ”

"You can think of it that way!"

"Okay...... Anyway, you just think I'm not worthy of your brother! Hermione said angrily, but then said softly, "Then I'll lower my eyes, Asinsha." ”

Axinsha smiled, and the forbidden fruit relationship between the two girls became deeper and deeper.

The next night, an untold number of slug club meetings were held in Horace's office.

But there were a surprisingly large number of people coming tonight, and it was hard to imagine how Harry could have come over when she saw that Harry had also been invited, and Ginny, Neville, and a few of the junior students.

And on Slytherin's side, Slytherin's four small giants are also here, Kirk, Lubo, Dandney, and Femia.

These four were the four most prestigious students in Slytherin House besides Sherlock.

The four of them are Sherlock's friends, and they are also the seniors of the highest grade in the seventh grade, even the prefects don't dare to look at these four people, Kirk and Lupo are okay, one is smart and good-tempered, and the other is nothing more than like to joke.

Dandeni is very cold, so he is still a little feminine, which is already very good under Sherlock's aura.

But Dandeni has a bit of a straightforward temper, so it's easy to get hurt.

Fiumia is the one with a very hot temper, whether it is for boys or girls, although she is very beautiful, she is very afraid of each other's character.

Her tenderness was only for Sherlock alone.

When he saw the four of them sitting on the table, Harry suddenly had a headache, and it was easy to get in touch with Sherlock, but he really didn't have much friendship with his four friends, Harry.

For some reason, there were half as many girls as boys in the Slug Club tonight.

This left Harry confused.

"What's going on?" He asked Neville quietly.

"Mr. Sherlock will be coming, too." Neville whispered to Harry.

Harry understood the cause and effect, and Professor Horace, the founder of the Slug Club, would definitely invite Sherlock Mephisto, the most prestigious student in the school.

Not to mention his own prestige and strength, just the power behind Sherlock, his father is the Minister of Magic.

"Miss Asinsha is sitting here."

When everyone is almost seated. Fimia and Lupo beckoned Asinsha to sit over, Asinsa was helpless, but as her senior sister and brother's classmate and friend, Asinsha couldn't directly refuse, so she pulled Hermione to sit over.

Kirk and Lubo, Dandeni didn't feel anything wrong, only Femia frowned, seemed to see something but didn't say anything, the three boys might think that Asinsha and Hermione were just girls had a better relationship, but Femia didn't think so.

"You have such a good relationship with Hermione, I really envy you." Sarina, as Asinsha's cousin, couldn't help but interject.

"Why do you want to join Hermione's clique of me, the three of you?" Asin Sha looked at Sarina with a predator's gaze, Sarina was originally very cute and delicate-looking, and now she is in the fifth grade, like a blooming stamen, she is a beautiful woman.

So even if Sarina is a cousin, she is very eye-catching for Asinsha's appearance.

"No!" Sarina shuddered, they are all members of the same family, Sarina has long figured out this strange orientation of Asinsha, I'm afraid that only Hermione and her are the only ones present who know the real situation.

"I wish I wasn't late." Sherlock, as the last man, was belated.

Seeing that they were all seated, Sherlock said softly, "I just went to Professor Dumbledore's office and had some things to talk about, so I came a little late." ”

He looked at Professor Horace on the throne and nodded, "It's an honor to be invited to participate." ”

"Aha, of course my dear Prince of Spells, these days are not a boy who can casually hang the title of a prince, let alone face the word Charm, come on, young master of the Mephisto family, come and sit."

Sherlock was kindly pulled by Horace, and finally pressed him to the position next to Horace, and next to Horace was Harry Potter.

Harry was embarrassed by this, and if he knew that the empty space on the other side of Horace was reserved for Sherlock, then Harry would never sit on this side.

"How's Professor Dumbledore doing?" Horace asked.

"If the wizarding world can settle down, then Professor Dumbledore's improvement will be good." Sherlock responded.

"Hahahaha, but it's a pity that the wizarding world has been made miserable by old guys like us, and it has left a lot of pressure on you young people who are about to graduate."

"I know that Grindelwald was actually rescued by Voldemort, and those fools should hide Grindelwald secretly, and sooner or later he will run out of Newmontaard, and no prison can hold any generation of Dark Lords."

Horace took a sip of the iced soup, and then deepened his sentence, "For Grindelwald, unless he voluntarily confines himself in Newmengard, if he comes up with it, it is only a matter of time." ”

"He's been locked up many times, and he's been running a lot of times, and Newmondard is just the prison he's been held the longest."

At this time, a girl with spots on her face in Ravenclaw said, "Then why not carry out the death penalty, there should be a death penalty to kill him." ”

"It's not easy, my dear, you didn't go through that era, you think it would be so easy to kill the first generation of the Dark Lord, even if Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald and didn't kill him, because dueling and desperate are two different concepts."

Horace looked at Sherlock.

"You must have experienced that feeling when you fought the mystery man, right?"

"I have that feeling, if you fight, you can try to maintain the damage at an acceptable level, but if someone is desperate, then someone will inevitably die, and even if it is not good, it must be about the same strength, if the difference in strength is too great, even if the weak are desperate, it is useless for the strong."

After Sherlock finished speaking, everyone around him showed great reverence.

It's hard to imagine that terrible person in the mouth of his father, even the terrifying existence that his parents tremble when they mention the name of the mysterious person, and they have fought with Sherlock many times.

It's unimaginable.

"So who is Grindelwald or Voldemort?"

At this time, it was a Slytherin girl who suddenly asked the question.
