Although Dumbledore wrote several letters to invite him, the old man did not plan to return to Hogwarts to become a professor.

He didn't want to give Voldemort the illusion that he was on the sidelines, it would be easy to get killed.

Nellisy looked at her grandfather with a face full of resistance, she raised her eyebrows lightly, and asked:

"Oh, so you believe the report is true, Voldemort—"

The old man shuddered and exclaimed, "Don't mention that name!" ”

Nellis, who grew up in the United States and received an Ilvermorny education, was not so afraid of the British Dark Lord that she did not dare to mention his name.

However, she changed her name and continued to ask, "So, do you really believe that the mysterious man has come back to life?" ”

"The mysterious man is not an ordinary wizard, and I am not surprised that anything happens to him." The old man said quietly.

"Of course, I definitely hope it's fake, and this possibility is also there."

The old man's light green eyes narrowed into a slit, and he whispered:

"Although I trusted Dumbledore, according to reports, he didn't see the mysterious man with his own eyes, only Rove Scamander saw ......"

"And Sirius Black and a couple of No-Majs saw it." Nelishi corrected.

"Oh, come on." The old man sneered, "It's a well-known thing that Scamander saved Blake and helped him clear his grievances.

Whatever Scamander tells him to say, he will! ”

"As for Muggles...... Their testimonies are not counted! ”

"But grandpa, I don't think Rove Scamander is a liar." Nelishi said very seriously.

"How do you know he doesn't lie, and you don't know him."

"You don't know him either, so why do you think he must be lying?" Nelishi asked rhetorically.

"I don't know Scamander, but I know the mystery man." The old man looked at his precious great-granddaughter and said in a low voice:

"I know he's terrible, no one is his opponent except Dumbledore."

"But Scamander has done so much." "He captured several Death Eaters, saved the Dragonship, and saved a lot ......of people in the Quidditch World Cup final," Nellis said solemnly.

"I'll admit it's all remarkable, but it's not the same thing as a mystery man." The old man shook his head and said:

"I really don't believe that a boy about your age can escape from Voldemort...... unharmed"

"It's not an escape...... Nellisse corrected again, "he badly wounded the Mystery, and crushed the Mystic and the Death Eaters under Westminster Abbey." ”

"Seriously injured?" The old man hurriedly picked up the newspaper, looked at the article, and found that it was really a seriously injured mysterious person, he snorted, and said with a strange smile:

"Then I'm 100% sure Scamander is lying, he doesn't know what the mystery man means, it seems that he and my other student, Gilderoy Lockhart, are the same kind of people, and they both like to talk about it-"

Hearing the old man say that Rov was lying, and comparing him to "Lockhart", Shirley suddenly felt angry.

She narrowed her very good-looking eyes, and was about to rebuke the old man angrily when one hand took her right hand.

Shirley looked at Rove.

His face was gentle, and he shook his head with a smile.

The movements of the two were captured by Nellis, and she turned her head and asked, "You two also believe in Rove Scamander, right?" ”

"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not." Rove said nonchalantly:

"Sooner or later, the truth will be revealed, and it is the most pointless to do this kind of battle of tongues at this time, besides, you will never be able to wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep."

"Oh, you mean I'm pretending to be asleep?" The old man reacted immediately.

"Yes, Mr. Horace Slughorn." Rove said bluntly: "You heard it right. ”

"You know me?" Slughorn asked.

"Of course, you're a famous potions master, I know that." Rove laughed.

From the time the old man said that he had taught Snape, he had known that the other party was Horace Slughorn, the former Potions professor at Hogwarts.

"Not only do I know who you are, but I also know that you were previously colleagues with Professor Dumbledore." Rove continued: "Even know that you used to be Voldemort's teacher. ”

Slughorn was taken aback, not only because he heard Voldemort's name again, but also because the other party actually knew about his relationship with Tom.

Nelishi also looked at her grandfather in surprise, she had never heard him mention it.

"So, you just said that you know Voldemort, and I agree with that, but you are his teacher, if you don't even know about you, then who else does?" Rove said.

"On the night of Voldemort's resurrection, he said that he had gone further than anyone else on the road to immortality, and he also said that he had conquered death."

Rove smiled and said:

"You're Voldemort's teacher, and you know him very well, so he must have discussed the topic of 'conquering death' with you when he was a student, right?"

"So, you knew he was going to come back sooner or later, didn't you? It's just that I don't want to admit it in my heart. ”

Slughorn's face turned pale, and a trace of panic appeared on his vicissitudes face, he took a step back and said in a trembling voice:

"You...... Who exactly? ”

"Me?" Rove laughed and said:

"Nobody!"

By this time, Mayflower's passengers had all disembarked from the boat, and the sorcerer who boarded the ship quickly walked towards the ferry.

"Goodbye, Mr. Slughorn and Miss Slughorn."

Rove bowed, took Shirley's hand, and strode towards the ferry.

Nellisy looked at Rove's back thoughtfully, and whispered, "Let's go too, grandpa." ”

Slughorn came to his senses and followed Nellisch towards the ferry.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him.

Slughorn turned around and saw a group of reporters running towards him, and he couldn't help frowning:

"Did someone leak my whereabouts? Why are there so many reporters, it's so annoying. ”

Slughorn straightened his collar despite that.

He was about to be interviewed about his trip to Iceland to watch a Quidditch match when the group of reporters walked past him and ignored him.

One of them almost knocked Slughorn into him!

Slughorn opened his mouth wide and looked at the group of reporters, surrounding the guy who had just called himself a "nobody".

Rove didn't expect to use Transfiguration to change his appearance, but he was discovered by reporters, and when he saw a bunch of cameras taking pictures, he immediately protected Shirley by his side.

"Mr. Scamander, can you tell us a little bit about that night at Black's graveyard?"

"Minister Fudge said, don't spread rumors, don't spread rumors." A reporter shouted, "Is this an implication that you are lying?" ”

"Some people say Dumbledore is trying to cheat money, what do you think about that?"

"You've got the wrong person." Rove escorted Shirley and quickly walked towards Mayflower.

But the intense magnesium lights flashed from all directions, as dazzling as the sun shining on the snowy tundra, and at once pierced his eyes.

Nellisy grabbed a reporter and asked, "Hey, who's that guy?" ”

"Rov Scamander!" The reporter replied excitedly.

"That's not him!" Nellis said.

"Scamander must have taken the Polyjuice Potion." The journalist explained:

"But who doesn't know his box? No matter how disguised you are, the box won't change. ”

Nellis let the reporter go, whistling excitedly and muttering, "I'm on the same boat with Scamander." ”

The short-haired girl turned to look at the old man, and she laughed, two small dimples appearing on her face.

"Grandpa, you just said bad things to people's faces...... This offends people. ”
