Chapter 209: Love for Talent

"Yagos! You are finally willing to come!"

"Is it because if I don't send you an invitation, you won't even want to come and see me?"

"I've been on vacation for so long and you didn't even send me a letter!"

In front of the door of an exquisite cabin, Slughorn had an angry face but a smile in his eyes.

He couldn't be stern about Yagus, a student who was perfect in both mind and talent.

"I'm really sorry, Professor, it was my negligence." Yagus apologized.

This surprised Slughorn.

Mainly because Yagus's answer was somewhat beyond his expectation.

He was clear about what happened to the saints during this period. Even if he didn't use this as an excuse, he still had to explain it at least.

As a result, Yagus had no intention of arguing.

Apologize profusely!

"Professor, don't you still know what happened to the saints recently?"

"Don't embarrass Mr. Grindelwald!"

A middle-aged man with a brown beard walked out of the hut and said with a smile.

"Barnabas, don't speak for him!" Slughorn glared at the brown-bearded man.

I finally made up my mind to teach this kid a lesson. If you interrupt me, what if I can't make up my mind again?

"That's no excuse."

Yagus smiled and said: "No matter how busy you are, there is always time to write a letter."

"Look, Yagus is still sensible!"

Slughorn turned his anger into joy: "Let me introduce to you, this is the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet, Barnabas Guffey."

"Hello, Mr. Grindelwald."

"You are a popular figure in our Daily Prophet."

Barnabas reached out his hand as a gesture of goodwill to Argus.

Several more people walked out of the room, and Slughorn introduced them one by one: "Gwenos Jones, captain of the Holyhead Harpies."

A girl with a well-proportioned figure and a sharp expression smiled and nodded at Yagus.

"Ludo Bagman, Head of the Department of Physical Education and Sports at the Ministry of Magic."

A sturdy man stepped forward.

"Hello, Mr. Grindelwald, I wonder if you like..."

"Ludo!" Barnabas stopped Ludo Bagman's next words.

He smiled apologetically at Yagus.

"Sorry, Mr. Grindelwald, Ludo was a former batsman for the Wimbourne Hornets and was a little... too enthusiastic about Quidditch."

"fine."

Yagus was somewhat impressed by this Ludo Bagman.

The Wimbourne Wasps' most popular batsman was, at the height of his career, accused of delivering messages for Lord Voldemort.

Although it was finally clarified, his career was lost and he could only work in the Ministry of Magic.

Fortunately, I was pretty good at it and got the position of director.

Slughorn invited five or six people besides Argus this time.

All of them are famous figures in the wizarding world.

Yagus couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Apart from anything else, Slughorn really has a first-class eye for students.

The chosen students are basically leaders in all walks of life.

It's no wonder that these students, even if they hold important positions, come to Slughorn's tea party.

Who wants to miss the opportunity to meet top contacts in other industries?

"Okay, don't stand at the door, come in quickly, Yagus!"

Slughorn made no secret of his preference for Argus.

Attracting Barnabas' ridicule.

"Professor, you only invited Mr. Grindelwald in, what about us?"

Although he was joking on his lips, he was a bit shocked in his heart.

As a frequent visitor to Slughorn's tea parties, this was the first time he saw Slughorn attach so much importance to someone.

You know, Slughorn's vision is surprisingly high.

Even he was never greeted by Slughorn.

Even if Yagus is the leader of the Saints, he is only 12 or 13 years old now, and his talent has not yet been transformed into the future.

There is only one possibility to get Slughorn's favor...

It's his talent that has reached the point where Slughorn would do anything!

With the lively atmosphere of Barnabas, Yagus is not a socially fearful person.

Throughout the afternoon, the guests and hosts had a great time.

Barnabas and Ludo also invited Argus to their residence before leaving.

Yagus smiled and responded one by one.

Originally, he planned to leave with Barnabas and others, but was left behind by Slughorn.

"Yagos!"

Slughorn was silent for a long time before speaking.

"I know something about you and the pure-blood family."

"The Slughorn family is quite vocal among the twenty-eight holy tribes."

"I can help you tone it down a bit if you want."

"after all……"

Horace Slughorn was born in the Slughorn family. Even if he has not much contact with the family, he is still a member of his own clan.

On one side is the family, on the other side is his favorite student.

He was caught in the middle, really in a dilemma.

Being willing to make peace with the pure-blood family when they suffered a huge loss was already the result of his long-term psychological struggle.

"Thank you for your kindness, Professor."

Hearing Slughorn's words, Argus marveled once more at his fondness for gifted students.

After expressing his gratitude, he explained to Slughorn: "I already have a plan to deal with this matter."

"Don't worry, the pure-blood family and I haven't completely broken up yet."

Slughorn didn't say anything else, just sighed.

"If one day you really encounter a problem that you can't solve, just tell me."

"Although I can't guarantee that I will solve it for you, I will do my best to protect you back to Nurmengard."

"I will, Professor!" Argus said, and then he remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something.

He hurriedly took out the gift that he had asked Vita to prepare in advance.

"Professor, I almost forgot to bring you a gift."

"I know you like to drink tea, so I specially prepared the latest batch of oolong tea for you."

"Thoughtful, hahaha..."

Slughorn swept away the loss just now and took Argus's gift with a smile.

...

Two days later, the Ministry of Magic.

Barty Crouch, who had been avoided by members of the Ministry of Magic, was surrounded by countless people today.

His ears were filled with flattering words.

"Director Crouch is worthy of being the pillar of the Ministry of Magic. In the entire Ministry of Magic, no, in the entire UK, only you can easily reach cooperation with Germany and France."

"Yes, yes, yes, I hope you can help us more in the future!"

"Yes, only you can make our Ministry of Magic truly a model for international wizards."

Most members of the Ministry of Magic are still composed of pure-blood families. After receiving orders from their respective families, they decisively began to cooperate with Barty Crouch.

Not only that, these pure-blood families also deliberately contacted their own relationships abroad to send a lot of cooperation to the International Magic Exchange Department where Barty Crouch is located.

Help the British Ministry of Magic gain a lot of reputation among the masses.

There is a tendency to become a model for the Ministry of Magic in various countries!

Barty Crouch's originally crumbling reputation was immediately reversed. He, who had already been on the trend of stepping down, immediately became a hot commodity in the Ministry of Magic after gaining these reputations.

Many members of the Ministry of Magic who were hiding far away came up non-stop, wanting to get familiar with each other.
