Harry Potter’s School of Invincibility

Chapter 761 Grilled Quail (Sincere Thanks to Alliance Leader Ying Lin)

( ) The next morning, when the wind and snow stopped, Alan returned to Hogwarts and went to the auditorium for breakfast. The entire auditorium was buzzing with the news that Katie was under a curse. No one knew the specific details except for a few people involved. The target of the opal necklace was not Katie herself. The school asked several Gryffindors not to talk about it to others.

After asking Hermione a few questions, Allen swallowed the last piece of duck-fat potato on his plate, walked out of the auditorium, and told the Auror guard beside him: "Puppy, let someone put that Send me an opal necklace."

The Aurors acted very quickly. Not long after Allen returned to his teacher's office, the door was knocked, and Pope walked in wearing dragon leather gloves and holding a box in his hand.

"Sir, we didn't waste much time. Someone in our team happened to be at the Ministry of Magic. I asked him to use the fireplace." Poppy reported respectfully with a hint of joy. Allen raised his chin towards the box, and Poppy gently opened the lid. The opal necklace exuded a green light.

Although it was clear from Lucius's report that the person to carry out the assassination mission was replaced by Pansy from Draco in the original plot, but it was not clear when the other party would take action. Ms. Rosmerta, who was controlled by the soul curse, had a personal conversation with her, but found no signs of being controlled by the other party. She was a little curious: "Tell me about your investigation."

"We found out that Cheryl, the waitress at the Three Broomsticks bar, was cast under the Imperius Curse, and Cheryl used the Imperius Curse to control Katie and asked her to send the cursed necklace to Albus. Principal Dumbledore's hands." Poppy lowered his head slightly and said in a slightly lower voice, "Sir, we checked with Cheryl again and again, but she has no idea who cast the spell on her. We confirmed it through Legilimency. In this matter, the murderer should have cast the spell directly behind her, and he did not show his face when giving the order. We did not say anything about it and instead repaired the hidden stake in the Three Broomsticks Tavern. If the prisoner comes back, we will Can arrest him."

The opal necklace floated in the air and spun around. Suddenly, amid Pu Pai's exclamation, Allen grabbed the necklace with his bare hands, weighed it casually, and put it back into the box.

"Since it's evidence, I won't lift the curse on it. You should be careful." Allen closed the box and handed it back to the stunned Pupai. The other party was stunned for a long time before he bowed slightly, picked up the box and stepped back. He left the room in a few steps.

Compared with the curse that Voldemort placed on his Horcrux, although the necklace's attack method is more direct and fatal, the magic difficulty is much easier to remove. Not to mention Dumbledore, those Gringotts Professional curse breakers such as Bill Weasley can also take a moment to break it, although they can't hold it in their hands without breaking the spell like Alan.

After personally experiencing the effect and power of the curse, Allen, who has read many Nese scrolls, wants to directly remove the curse from Katie Bell without harming her and ensuring her safety, so that she can recover quickly. It's not a difficult thing.

But as soon as he stood up and wanted to go to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies, he thought of Luna's previous request to him. Allen sat back on the chair again, stroking his chin, thinking about what could be exploited in this matter. room. The tapping sound resounded in the silent room, and Allen's hand bounced rhythmically on the table...

After the snowstorm, it was sunny and beautiful for several days, but the temperature dropped sharply after that.

At the end of the evening when the third ancient magic class was taught, Allen, Hermione and his sister Emily pushed open the door of Professor Slughorn's office and found that, like themselves, the others who came to the banquet had taken ancient electives. The wizards in the magic class all wore the magic robes issued to them by Alan. Since they accounted for a very large proportion, the second-year twins Torrance and Emily, who had not yet reached the age of elective courses, and the twins who had not joined this group The ordinary attire of McLaggen and Bellby in this course looked very conspicuous.

"It's great that you're here, great." Slughorn was wearing a brown suit, and the golden buttons on his vest shone in the light, but the bow tie he wore made him look like he had no neck. He walked out of his seat, shook hands with the Harris brothers and Hermione, and led them to the empty seat next to him.

Draco, who was sitting next to him, immediately put a roasted quail on their plates for each of them, and the other wizards who stood up when they saw Alan entering also sat down again after nodding and taking their seats.

"Professor Alan Harris, of course there should be no one here who doesn't know Professor Harris's deeds. The British wizarding world can now have such a stable situation, thanks to the efforts of him and the Ministry of Magic." Slughorn finished the compliment. , picked up a tablecloth and put it on his lap, then put a piece of food in front of him into his mouth, "It's so pleasant, an opportunity to get to know you all better."

The banquet officially began, and as everyone's plates began to be filled with food, Slughorn turned his attention to Cormac McLaggen on his left: "Tell me, Cormac, have you talked to me recently?" How about meeting your uncle Belus?"

"Yes, Professor, I'm actually supposed to go hunting with him, Betty Higgins, and Rufus Scrimgeour this vacation." McLagan held his chest and head high, showing good table manners.

"Don't forget to say hello to both of them for me." Slughorn smiled brightly and put a roasted quail on McLaggen's plate.

"Where's your uncle Damocles, Marcus?" Slughorn looked at the fat and fair Marcus Belby. He then introduced to everyone at the round table: "In case anyone hasn't heard of it, let me introduce Marcos's uncle, Damocles Belby, a very outstanding wizard, very outstanding, he was the one who invented the Wolfsbane potion. He definitely deserves the Order of Merlin." He turned to Marcos again, "What new invention has he been working on recently? Do you often see your uncle, Marcos?"

Unfortunately, Marcus had just eaten a big mouthful of quail. He was so eager to answer Slughorn's question that he swallowed it too quickly. His face suddenly turned the color of liver, and he choked and was speechless.

"It's gone." Slughorn pointed his wand at Belby and said calmly. Belby's trachea seemed to be unobstructed all of a sudden.

"No... don't see him very often," gasped Belby, choking on his tears.

"Yes, of course, I dare say he must be very busy." Slughorn looked at Belby questioningly and said, "Is he inventing any new potion?"

Marcos seemed afraid to eat quail no more, but he focused his attention on the dessert in front of him and replied without raising his head: "I heard that he accepted the invitation to join the Umbrella Company? But I don't know the specific situation. He I don’t have a good relationship with my dad, maybe because my dad said that potions are rubbish.”

Slughorn never expected that the other party would say such words in front of himself, the Potions Professor, nor did he expect that the other party would not have a good relationship with the Potions Master uncle at all. Horace frowned and leaned back, wrinkling his nose. But all this was not noticed by Marcos, who was engrossed in desserts.

Marcos continued: "He said the only magic potion that worked was to go home and have a few sips of strong liquor."

Slughorn's face turned cold, and then he turned around with a smile on his face: "Speaking of the umbrella company of Professor Alan Harris's family, I don't know if you all know that the Hermione before you is Miss Ranger is the person at the helm of it, and over the years that I have been teaching, she is the second witch to receive my elixir award, which is very outstanding.”

Hermione, whose identity was revealed again, was not as panicked as the first time. She just responded with a smile and said nothing.

"So, Miss Granger, where do your parents stand in the Muggle world?" Slughorn put his arms on the table, clasped his hands in front of him, and asked Hermione pleasantly.

Hermione was slightly stunned, but she said confidently as she was very proud of her parents: "My parents are both dentists."

Except for Draco, who has turned a little pale due to bad memories, most of the pure-blood students here either don't know what the profession of dentistry is, or they are still stuck on the idea that dentistry is a part-time job of barbers. .

Just like the twin sisters in the second grade, they looked at Hermione with gloomy eyes at the same time. Although it was not discrimination, they were still waiting for her further explanation in confusion.

"It's so interesting. Is this profession dangerous?" Slughorn lowered his head blankly and echoed. The wrinkles on his forehead were squeezed together while he was still trying to understand. McLaggen next to him looked as dazed as he did.

"Not really." Hermione's eyes took in the reactions of everyone on the table. Harry, who had been living in the Muggle world before entering Hogwarts, couldn't help laughing because of the silly expressions of these purebloods. Sirius's Animagus teaching did not immediately require them to hold a single leaf of Mandela in their mouths for a month. He had to first give enough theoretical knowledge to the children to let them figure out what they were confused about. After asking local questions, they could start preparations. He didn't want his godson to encounter an accident where he only changed half of his body during the transformation or turned into an animal and couldn't return to his human form.

The scene was a little awkward for a while. Allen, who was getting some pineapple preserves for his sister, asked his female companion to help him out: "Similar to our therapists, Muggles are actually more detailed in medicine. You can treat dentists as I understand that they are therapists who specialize in treating teeth. In addition, Muggle barbers would not have removed teeth or amputated limbs hundreds of years ago. Even if you don't take Muggle Studies courses, you should read related books."

"I think it's quite dangerous..." Draco muttered, covering his teeth that had been treated by Hermione's father at that time. The sound of the electric drill in the frightening memory gave him phantom pain.

"It's just that a boy named Robinson Crusoe bit my dad." Hermione said and laughed herself. "It cost him ten stitches."

Marcos also stopped his knife and fork reaching for the dessert. All the wizards who had lived in the magical world since childhood were a little confused about what ten stitches meant. They couldn't judge the injury, let alone being bitten by someone. Ten stitches, what is the concept? Zabini coughed lightly and couldn't help but touch his nose.

"Yes, Zabini, because you are so talented... when it comes to posturing..." an angry female voice came from the other side of Horace.

Slughorn glanced at Hermione and Allen in panic and found that they did not show any obvious displeasure. He breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Ginny who had just spoken... Ginny was standing across Slug Horn's big belly glared at Zabini, and he had to use a joking tone to try to lighten the atmosphere: "You have to be careful, Blaise! I just happened to witness this young lady perform a wonderful bat spirit before. Curse! If you don’t want to have giant bats in your face, don’t want her!”

Blaise Zabini didn't respond to Ginny's sarcasm at this time. He glanced at Hermione apologetically, and was a little annoyed that he had unconsciously applied his attitude of looking down on Muggles to Hermione's story. Fortunately, this kind of The degree is not enough to cause the other party's displeasure.

Seeing that the pure-blood students around her were still skeptical about this, Ginny, who had saved her father's life because of this technology, immediately spoke up to justify it. "After my dad was attacked last year, the snake's venom prevented his wounds from healing. St. Mungo's Hospital used the Umbrella's suture technology and witchcraft to heal my dad from Muggles. ."

"Ah, so I'm talking about this new method. I even went to St. Mungo's Hospital to observe it in person. Although it looks a bit scary and looks like a centipede... I have to say that it is very effective for some wounds that are difficult to heal due to magic or toxins. It's very useful. Miss Weasley, please have more desserts, otherwise Bilby will eat them all soon." Slughorn's eyes stayed on Ginny, who was next to Harry, for a moment. He started to smile again and picked up a small plate of pies to share with everyone, but somehow he missed Marcos Belby.

After asking everyone and complimenting Harry extra, Slughorn began to change the topic ramblingly and recalled the past. During the rest of the banquet, in addition to taking great care of some students, Slughorn , Slughorn began to tell many interesting anecdotes about the outstanding wizards he taught in those days, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.net describing how they all happily joined the team named Snivellus by truncating part of his last name when they were at Hogwarts. Bug Club organization.

The obvious difference in treatment of Professor Horace Slughorn, the founder of the Slug Club, was seen by the little wizards who were slightly political. Everyone sitting here must have something to do with it. He was invited because he thought it might be worth dating.

But after questioning, he found out the details, and it was obvious that some names had been eliminated from his list. For example, Marcus Belby, who had a bad relationship with his uncle who was a potion master. After talking to countless people, Slughorn's resistance to him was obviously too much.

Lucius Malfoy did not expose his identity in the Ministry of Magic incident at the end of last semester, so Draco was praised many times by the other party at this banquet, and Draco's follower Blaise Zabini was also praised. Zabini's mother was a beautiful witch who had been a widow seven times, and each time her husband died unexpectedly, he left her a large inheritance.

However, Slughorn's attitude towards Allen is quite intriguing. He entertained him warmly and kept bringing some dishes to Allen, asking each other by describing the background of the special dishes and complimenting him constantly but not at all. His attitude showed that he didn't want to have a deep relationship with Allen.
