Chapter 1306 Passed Down From Generation to Generation

"Ingenious," said Dumbledore appreciatively. "But isn't that a tiring life for a good-for-nothing old chap who wants to live a quiet life, Horace? Come to think of it, if You go back to Hogwarts..."

"If you want to tell me that I live more peacefully in that nasty school, Albus, you might as well save your energy and stop! Yes, I'm hiding here and there, but I don't want to Abuse, I've heard some bizarre rumors since the Dolores Umbridge incident! If that's how you treat teachers now..."

"That's actually what I did, and it has nothing to do with Professor Dumbledore," Ivan said.

"Oh, you did it?" asked Slughorn. "You ordered that giant to do that to her?"

"It was my idea to put her in the care of the giant. I think the giant would teach him some basic manners and teach her how to respect others. You know, she is really annoying and has done a lot of excessive things at Hogwarts." Things." Ivan said, "But I didn't expect that the following things would happen, which was absolutely beyond my expectation, and I feel sorry for what happened to Professor Umbridge."

"I was there at the time, and I know what's going on. It's not Aiwen's fault." Hermione hurriedly followed up, "She cooperated with the Death Eaters and used Veritaserum on Aiwen in order to find Dumbledore and overthrow the magic. All the evidence forced us to take her to the Forbidden Forest to find that weapon, she believed that Professor Dumbledore hid such a weapon in the Forbidden Forest, we had to..."

"Well, what a silly bitch, I've always hated her, ever since she was a student," said Slughorn.

"Yeah, the key point is that she knew Elaine's identity at the time. Elaine is our classmate, a vampire..."

"Hey, Hogwarts is taking vampires now?" said Slughorn with interest, tossing Umbridge aside.

"Elaine is a special case, she is a descendant of Salazar Slytherin, Hogwarts has no reason to reject her." Dumbledore said, "Identity will never be an obstacle to entering Hogwarts, on the contrary , we should take extra care of those children."

"That's your idea, Dumbledore, and I neither approve nor disapprove," said Slughorn, "but a descendant of Slytherin is marvelous, marvelous, the first time I hear of Slughorn. Leitlin and other descendants..."

"We have recruited several promising students in recent years." Dumbledore said, "In addition to Miss Slytherin, there are Ivan, Harry, and Hermione in front of you, they..."

"I know!" Slughorn took a look at the three of them, and then quickly looked away, "I read the "Daily Prophet" every day. In the past few months, it has been mentioning these two things. Boy, especially after the Egyptian incident, they are almost going to praise him to the sky! Huh, speaking of it, this old newspaper has been going downhill recently, are they about to be crushed by the "Hogwarts Wizarding News"? "

"It wasn't us who broke the Daily Prophet, but they themselves. The public has the right to know the truth," Ivan replied.

"You're right." Slughorn nodded, but he didn't continue, and there was another silence.

At this moment, Dumbledore suddenly stood up.

"Are you leaving?" Slughorn asked immediately expectantly.

"No, I just wanted to ask if I could use your bathroom," said Dumbledore.

"Oh," said Slughorn, visibly disappointed, "down the hall, the second door on the left."

Dumbledore walked across the room, and the room fell silent as the door closed behind him.

After a moment Slughorn stood up, but seemed uncertain what to do.

He sneaked a glance at Ivan and Harry, then strode to the fireplace, turned his back to the fire, and roasted his big butt.

"Don't think I don't know why he brought you three here," he said suddenly.

"The professor must just want you to see the motivation to go back to teaching." Ivan thought for a while and said, Harry and Hermione were still a little nervous about this strange old wizard. They didn't know what to say, so he could only open it. topic.

"Sly boy, you are very similar to him, so cunning!" Slughorn didn't seem to want to talk to Ivan.

He muttered something without even looking at him.

Instead, after a quick glance at Hermione, he turned his gaze to Harry's face.

Those teary eyes flicked to Harry's scar, and this time saw his whole face clearly.

"You look a lot like your father," he said slowly.

"Yeah, that's what other people say," said Harry.

"It's just that the eyes are not the same, your eyes..."

"Like my mother, yes." Harry had heard it so many times that it got a little tiresome.

"Hmph, yes, of course, as a teacher one shouldn't be partial to students, but I was partial to her. Your mother." Seeing Harry's questioning gaze, Slughorn added, "Lily Evans, she is one of the brightest students I have ever taught, lively and lovely, very talented, a charming girl. I often say to her that she should be in my college, but I often get her Very rude answer."

After a brief silence, Harry looked at Ivan, who mentioned his current situation, and he didn't know what to say.

Ivan raised his head slightly, motioning for Harry to answer.

It can be seen that Slughorn and Harry's mother are very close, and the impression is very good.

"Well, Professor, which college are you in?"

"I was Head of Slytherin," said Slughorn.

"Oh, come on!" He saw the expression on Harry's face, and immediately said, waving a stubby finger at him, "Don't be hostile to me because of this, childish thinking, I think, you must be like her Same, from Gryffindor?"

"Yes, all three of us are Gryffindors," said Harry.

"Albus is going too far, he brought three Gryffindors!" Slughorn exclaimed.

"You just said that this is actually nothing." Ivan interjected.

"That's right, that's right." Slughorn said disapprovingly. "And that girl named Elaine, which college is she in?"

"She hasn't been divided into houses yet. She was in Hogwarts as an exchange student last semester, and it is not suitable for her to be separated into houses alone. Umbridge has been investigating her at that time." Aiwen said, "But this semester , Elaine can be sorted with the freshmen, I heard that there are a few vampires who will also be enrolled, they are all her clan and descendants of Slytherin."

"They should go to Slytherin House." Slughorn said immediately. "For pure blood wizards, the choice of house is passed down from generation to generation, but there are exceptions. Have you heard of Sirius Black? Oh , you must know that not long ago, I saw you and his name appeared in the newspaper, he seems to be your godfather..." 8)
