"How is that possible!" Mr. Rosmerta suddenly shouted.

However, he soon found that such a noise would not have a good impact in the bar, so he quickly lowered his voice again: "This is unbelievable......

Mr. Rosmerta continued: "...... I've heard of a lot of wizards who eventually went bad, but I didn't expect the James Potter guys to go bad too...... If, when they were in school, you told me they were going to end up in Azkaban, and I would definitely say you drank too much!"

"But that's what it is!" Slughorn muttered.

"Rosmerta, maybe you remember what happened before Headmaster Grindelwald came to Hogwarts......"

"Merlin's beard!" Mr. Rosmerta seemed to be stunned, and he quickly lowered his voice again, "Mr. Slughorn, you can't just talk about things at that time...... You must have drunk too much! At that time, the bar was still calling for a broom......"

Matthew couldn't help but be more and more grateful to Hermione for these gadgets, especially the "button eavesdropping"

The conversation between Slughorn and Rosmerta grew quieter, and Matthew even suspected that Miss Elaine Shafiq, who was beside them, might not be able to hear the conversation between them......

But because the "button eavesdropping" was glued to the back of Slughorn's chair and had some amplification function, Matthew could barely hear it.

"No...... I'm not ...... drunk," Slughorn retorted, "Before Headmaster Grindelwald came to Hogwarts, there were many people at Hogwarts who opposed him...... Moreover, the real leader of those opponents was Albus Dumbledore, the head of Gryffindor House at the time and the Transfiguration teacher at Hogwarts......"

“...... Later...... Dumbledore was defeated and sent to prison, but his will to resist remained at Hogwarts...... Especially the remnants of Gryffindor House......"

"You mean......" Mr. Rosmerta's voice trembled a little, "James Potter, they...... Why was he imprisoned in Azkaban...... It's because ......"

“...... Yes, James Potter they, at that time conspired to overthrow the rule of Headmaster Grindelwald, and planned to rescue Albus Dumbledore from the tower of Newmondard, where he was imprisoned......" Slughorn suddenly smiled, "A group of naïve children, there is no doubt that they failed in the end......"

“...... They were betrayed, but before they could be captured, they were warned by a Hogwarts spy hiding there...... They all fled, and Potter was well acquainted with the secret passages of Hogwarts...... Hogwarts later declared that they had violated the school rules and expelled them all......"

"Tons and tons!"

The sound of drinking again, and Matthew suspected that Slughorn's face must have turned red.

Then, Slughorn's voice rang out again, "But they're just coming of age, and they're not even graduating from Hogwarts, and they're no match for the well-trained Aurors...... However, they did not do well, evading the pursuit of the Ministry of Magic for several years...... But in the end, I was caught......"

“...... There is only one person, always at large!" Slughorn's voice suddenly became a little more proud:

"Lily Evans! You should remember that charming girl. ”

"Of course," Mr. Rosmerta seemed to nod, "I remember James Potter and Severus Snape, who often got into fights because of her......"

“...... Yes, pretty, smart, and sensible......" Slughorn added, "but unfortunately he went astray......"

“...... I was still very optimistic about her at first, but it turns out that I still didn't look away in the end!"

"So...... What is the connection between the Potters and the fugitives from Azkaban?" Mr. Rosmerta continued, his voice changing suddenly, "Do you mean...... The fugitives...... Could it be ......?"

"That's right...... Slughorn said mysteriously, "don't spread the news, even in the Ministry of Magic, few people know their identities, because the incident at Hogwarts where they plotted to overthrow Headmaster Grindelwald was kept strictly secret...... The Aurors and Gadvin Robaz, who are stationed in Azkaban from the Ministry of Magic, have always had a good relationship with me, and he told me secretly......"

"Of course!" Mr. Rosmerta seemed to nod his head.

Mr. Rosmerta seemed to be muttering to himself, "That is...... The reason why the Ministry of Magic sent so many Aurors and so many Dementors to defend Hogwarts...... It's because ...... Potter, Blake, and Pedirou...... They want to ......"

"There's no doubt about it!" Slughorn continued, "they escaped from Azkaban, apparently trying to continue the terrible plan of fifteen years ago...... And it proves that they found something at Hogwarts fifteen years ago!"

"Merlin's beard...... Merlin's beard...... Merlin's beard ......"

Mr. Rosmerta seemed to be stupefied, and muttered, "These things are terrible! Professor Slughorn, don't say any more!"

"That's all I know. Slughorn said indifferently.

......

Mr. Rosmerta seemed to walk away, and as a small bar owner, he apparently did not dare to discuss these matters any further.

And Matthew, still in his head, digested what Slughorn had just said.

There is no doubt that there is a lot of information in it.

But soon, Slughorn's voice came from the little ear: "Little Elaine, I'm sorry for snubbing you, I patronized to talk to Rosmerta......"

“...... By the way, you said earlier that you wrote to your mother and asked about the last people your father contacted......"

"Yes. Elaine Shafiq's innocent voice came from the child's ears: "Before my father was imprisoned in Azkaban, it seems that he had been with two people many times, one was Mr. Lucius Malfoy...... And one more, my dad never said his name......"

"Well...... "Slughorn said gently," said Slughorn, "then...... Where will the letter be sent to the man whose name cannot be mentioned?"

Matthew quickly pricked up his ears, another key piece of information was coming......

"I know that," Miss Shafiq said crisply, "he's in Hogsmeade!"

Matthew's face changed suddenly.

The fluffy little ear in his hand didn't hold it steady for a while and fell to the ground.
