"I've always wanted to be part of the 'Slug Club,' but now I don't seem to have much of a chance. Louis smacked his lips in pity, then drained the glass in one gulp.

"Well, I think we've been bothered long enough and it's time to leave. Dumbledore smiled and stood up.

Louis and Harry also stood up, the difference was that Harry was at a loss, while Louis looked at Slughorn with pity, as if he was really reluctant to give up on the 'slug club'.

Slughorn was a little flustered, he didn't expect Dumbledore to say that he would leave: "That....... You can sit still for a while. ”

"I'm so sorry Slughorn. Dumbledore said apologetically, "I'd love to talk to you a little longer, but you know, if you don't go to Hogwarts, I'll have to find a new one." ”

Slughorn looked at Dumbledore embarrassedly: "It's not that I don't want to go to Hogwarts, but I don't want Voldemort to think I'm with you at this juncture." ”

"If Voldemort is willing to sit down and listen as much as I do, then I'm sure he understands you. Dumbledore said with a wink.

Slughorn looked even worse, and asked Voldemort to sit down and listen to him, if that worked, did he need to run around the world to hide from Voldemort?

Dumbledore bowed slightly, then walked towards the door. Louis and Harry followed Dumbledore's example and followed him.

Harry looked at Dumbledore in front of him with some confusion, he clearly remembered that Dumbledore had come to ask Slughorn to join Hogwarts, but why did he suddenly change his mind again?

Just as they left the house and were about to close the door, Slughorn yelled angrily, "Alright, alright, I accept your suggestion!"

Dumbledore asked with a gleeful face, "Have you finally agreed to go to Hogwarts?"

"Oh, yes, I'll ask for a raise. Slughorn blushed and said, "I've also asked for a large office of its own, where none of my old small-faced house-elves would live." ”

"Of course, don't worry. Dumbledore said with a smile, like a fox that had stolen a chicken.

As they left the house and entered the darkness, Dumbledore suddenly exclaimed to them, "Well done, Louis, Harry." ”

"But we didn't do anything, Professor. Harry replied, somewhat dazed. In his opinion, they had just gone for a glass of the Pendragon family's specialty.

"What do you think of Slughorn?" Dumbledore didn't explain directly to Harry.

"Hmm...... I don't know how to describe him......" Harry replied.

"He likes to live comfortably and to make friends with people who are famous, successful, and in power. Dumbledore said, "As Louis said, although he never expected himself to be a celebrity, he was very proud of being able to influence those who had power, and he liked it." And when he was teaching at Hogwarts, he once organized a club. ”

"Slug Club!" Harry interjected.

"Oh, yes, that's right. Dumbledore smiled and said, "There are a lot of talented people in that club, and he is especially good at picking the best of the school, sometimes those who are ambitious and intelligent, sometimes those who are personable and gifted. ”

"I have to say that Slughorn is really the most discerning one when it comes to selecting talent. Dumbledore said with some admiration, "Even Voldemort was one of his proudest students back then. ”

"Voldemort?!" Harry asked, a little incredulous.

"That's right, I think Voldemort learned a lot from him that you couldn't learn in school. "And like Slughorn said, he likes to introduce his students to their first jobs, which will make them center on him, and he will help his students connect with each other." You know, there are a lot of students who are half-blooded, even Muggle-born, and the jobs that Slughorn introduced will save them a lot of effort. ”

"Like Voldemort?" Harry suddenly remembered that Voldemort was also half-blood, and that he was still from an orphanage, so he couldn't have any connections.

"That's right. Dumbledore nodded, "Voldemort's first job was introduced by him, in the shop in Boginbock. ”

"Then why would he hide from Voldemort?" Harry asked, puzzled, "since he helped Voldemort so much, there is no reason why Voldemort would trouble him." ”

"If Voldemort knew to be grateful, would we still need to go to such trouble finding a way to deal with him?" Louis glanced at Harry.

Harry rubbed his head in embarrassment, as if Louis was not wrong at all. If Voldemort was a well-informed and virtuous young man, then he would not be idle and wanted to overthrow the entire wizarding world.

"Does it have anything to do with me, though?" Harry wondered, "to be honest, I don't really like him. ”

"Because it's because you agreed to come back to Hogwarts. Louis grinned and said with a grin.

"Me?" Harry looked at Louis puzzled, when did he become so popular?

"Like I said, Slughorn...... Oh, I think we'd better call him from now on: Professor Slughorn. Dumbledore said, "Professor Slughorn likes nothing more than to have the famous join his clique, and you, Harry, are the most visible collector. ”

Harry shuddered, and he thought of a fat spider dragging insects into his web, and he was the most eye-catching insect.

"Why, Louis and Hermione are so much better than me. ”

"Actually, I don't think Professor Slughorn will leave me and Hermione behind. Louis shrugged, "But I think he's most interested in you, Harry." ”

"I'm ordinary. Harry said with some grievances, he was obviously so much worse than Louis and Hermione, why the fat old man was staring at him, it was not fair.

"You've been hit with a curse and you've never been ....... Sorry, I mean, all left with a small scar. Louis said apologetically, "For him, the geniuses he has seen are not one or two, and no genius person can take a curse and not die, can he?"
