Chapter 1309 Returning to the Burrow

"Horace is not the support of the pure-blood theory, and his saying that should be just an inappropriate metaphor." Dumbledore said, "As he said, Harry, your mother was his favorite at school." One of the students."

Laghorn mentioned Lily so many times that Harry tried to think of her mother as a young man.

"I have to use one to describe it, because Horace has a lot of students in his eyes." Dumbledore continued, "He likes to make friends with famous, successful, and powerful people. His sense of manipulation, he himself never wants to be in charge, but prefers to take a back seat, that way the world is wider and more at ease. When he was at Hogwarts, he always liked to pick his favorite students, sometimes because of their Ambition or intelligence, sometimes because of their charm or talent, and he had a very uncommon knack for picking people who would go on to be successful in all walks of life."

"It's the wizards he showed off to us." Ai Wen said, "Look, he didn't forget to take their signed photos with him when he ran for his life, and he never forgot the gifts everyone gave him. How much does he like it? This feeling."

"It may have become his instinct, a part of his life," said Dumbledore.

"By the way, professor, we just heard him talk about a club, and those people are all members of this club..."

"Yeah, Horace built a club around himself, made up of his favorite protégés. He got them to know each other, make useful connections, and there was always some sort of benefit in the end, or a free case of His favorite candied pineapple, or the opportunity to recommend a clerk to the Goblin Liaison Office." Dumbledore nodded and said, "He uses this to exert his influence..."

"Like a spider!" Hermione said in a low voice and quickly, and went with Ivan just now.

Immediately, a big fat spider appeared in Harry's mind. It spun a thread here, a thread there, and formed a web around its body, attracting delicious and juicy flies to it. Come.

"Okay, let me tell you this." Dumbledore continued, "I don't want you to dislike Horace, that is, Professor Slughorn, but I hope you will stay vigilant. He will definitely come to win you over Yes, especially you, Harry, you are sure to be his highest priority, you will be the jewel in his collection: the Boy Who Lived, or, as they call you these days, 'The Savior'. "

"Will he come to win me over? But Ivan..."

"Yes, he will also win over Ivan, and he will not let go of every student who can make a difference in the future." Dumbledore said, "But you have also seen just now that he is very wary of Ivan. I think he should keep a distance from Ivan for a period of time."

"Why?"

"Horace has suffered in this regard before, which made him not like wizards with too much magic power." Dumbledore thought for a while, and added, "Maybe it's out of the instinctive fear of danger, maybe it's I don't want things to get out of his control. I think he'll examine Ai Wen for a while before deciding whether to do it, but it's a matter of time. And you, Hermione, when he really realizes that you are unusual , I definitely won't be able to resist doing it to you..."

Hermione's face was blushing, not knowing whether it was because of the freezing fog of the night, or because of Dumbledore's compliment.

She seemed a little embarrassed, and leaned against Ai Wen.

Ivan couldn't help but think, Dumbledore said that Slughorn had suffered in this area before, which made him particularly cautious about power. This should refer to Voldemort's matter. He still remembered that Riddle was Got information about the Horcrux from him.

Therefore, Slughorn is also one of the few wizards who knows that Voldemort has made multiple Horcruxes. This incident has become the source of his fear. Slughorn believes that Voldemort is invincible and cannot be killed, but this The old wizard didn't know that Voldemort was already moving in a more evil direction.

For a while, no one spoke, and everyone was thinking about their own thoughts.

Looking at the deeper night, Harry felt a chill in his body.

He thought of the words he had heard a few weeks ago, words that had had terrible and special meaning for him: two people cannot live both  …

The prophecy ball foreshadowed the prophecy that he was chosen by Voldemort, what would happen to his future?

After a few minutes, Dumbledore stopped, standing parallel to the church they had passed earlier.

"We have to hurry up, it's too late, I wrote a letter to inform Molly that I will take you there, she must be waiting for us now." Dumbledore said, "Come on, hold my arm .”

In the blink of an eye, they appeared on a country road.

The crooked but familiar silhouette in front of him was the Burrow.

"Why the Burrow? Didn't it mean to go to the Order of the Phoenix..." Hermione said in surprise.

"It was originally like this, but the plan has changed. Rufus asked to confirm Harry's location at all times in order to provide protection. He told me this afternoon. Harry is not allowed to 'disappear' from under his nose." Dumbledore explained, "After knowing the prophecy, it's not surprising that he can think so, but this would make the Order of the Phoenix headquarters inappropriate, and we can't tell the Ministry of Magic the specific location."

"So, we came to the Burrow?"

"Yes, the Ministry of Magic is here to provide the strictest protection they can provide," said Dumbledore, "and Arthur and Molly are very welcome to come here, although it brings them a certain degree of protection. Inconvenient, for example, all their mail must be checked by the Ministry before it can be delivered and so on. But they don't mind it at all, and they only care about the safety of the three of you."

Although he was the one who caused the Weasleys all this trouble, Harry had to admit that his mood brightened when he saw the Burrow, Ron was here, and Mrs. Weasley, she did The food is better than anyone he knows...

"The Burrow is great, I like it here," Alvin said.

Compared with the gloomy Black old house, this place is obviously much more relaxed.

Although the place was a bit small and it was not easy to do surprise operations at night, Mrs. Weasley was very enthusiastic.

There are also Fred and George. The last time Ivan contacted them was a few months ago.

At that time, their prank joke shop received a lot of orders, and I don't know how it is doing now?
