Hogwarts Advanced Guide

Chapter 425 Infiltrating the Slug Club
"He's definitely not afraid of you, I absolutely believe that." Hera said firmly, "But you're right, you are godfather and godson, and you really should find a way to draw in the relationship between you. How about going to Professor Slughorn's party together? I think in such a relaxed environment, your relationship will quickly return to the way it was before."

"Will it work?" Harry asked uncertainly. "Will he actually go?"

"He has promised me." Hera nodded and said. "Okay, Harry, it's time for you to go back to the dormitory and go to bed, but don't forget what we saw today because you are sleepy."

"I will." Harry nodded.

Hera raised his eyebrows, "Then, go back and think about what happened today."

"Okay, sir." Harry stood up and walked towards the door.He stopped when he held the doorknob, "Did Dumbledore ask you to do these?"

"That's right, Harry, that's what Dumbledore meant. But I don't want you to be in pain all day, you're still alive, you have to move on." Hera said firmly, "Okay, go back."

Harry nodded, opened the door and walked out.

"Damn it, I forgot about the Invisibility Cloak." Hera said with a headache, holding her head, and he had to quickly open the door to catch up with Harry.

"Harry, do you remember that thing? I asked you to borrow the one last week." Hera caught up with Harry on the stairs. If he hesitated for a second, the stairs would change again. Fortunately, Hera jumped down.

"Oh, yes, sir, I almost forgot." Harry said apologetically, "Hey, it's here." Harry took out a small paper bag from his pocket, "This is it, I packed it up, I don't want too many people to see it, you know"

"I know." Hera nodded, and took the paper bag, which was very light. He didn't rush to open it, but stuffed it into his pocket. "Then, thank you very much, you have been of great help."

"It's nothing, I think it can help you a lot." Harry asked suspiciously, "What are you going to use it for?"

"Obviously our Professor Slughorn doesn't trust me that much, and some methods are needed to attend his banquet." Hera said with a smile. He really planned to sneak into the Slug Club, mainly to see if Slughorn would reveal anything to Sirius or Harry.

He was sure they would tell the truth, but Hera had to be there lest any detail be lost.

"Then I'm going to the dormitory?" Harry waved his hand and asked tentatively.

Hera waved at Harry and patted the small pocket on his waist. "certainly."

After saying goodbye to Harry, Hera returned to the principal's room. Penello had already come out of the bedroom, and she was sitting on the sofa with a cup of coffee.

"Are you done talking to that kid?"

"It's over." Hera nodded, confirmed that the door was closed, and put the small paper bag containing the invisibility cloak on the table.

"What's that?" Penello stood up and looked at the small paper bag suspiciously, "It looks like chocolate?"

"Of course not, this is a very magical alchemy product. It has been passed down from generation to generation in the Potter family." Hera slowly opened the paper package.

Something liquid-like, silvery-gray, slid down to the floor and gathered in a glistening heap.Penello gasped.

"Isn't this an invisibility cloak?" Penello asked in a low voice, "It's made of the fur of an invisible beast. This is the first time I've seen it."

"This is much more powerful than you know." Hera whispered, and he picked up the gleaming silver invisibility cloak from the floor. It felt strange, as if it was woven with water.

"How do you say?" Penello asked suspiciously, "I read about it in the library once, and it was made from the hair of invisible beasts, but the book said that its magic power will weaken over time—"

"This is something that is not mentioned in the book." Hera said with a smile. He put the invisibility cloak on his shoulders, making half of his body invisible. "This invisibility cloak has been passed down from generation to generation by the Potter family. It is not comparable to the ordinary invisibility cloaks that are circulating in the market."

Penello put down the coffee cup in his hand, and gently stroked the invisibility cloak, "That is to say, the invisibility cloak will not lose its effectiveness over time?"

"It's not just that simple. Have you read "The Tales of Beedle the Poet"?" Hera took off the cloak and put it back on the table.

Penello shook his head, "I just heard it from a friend. It seems to be an enlightenment book for children in the wizarding world?"

"Yes, then I'm afraid I have to show you this book." Hera came to the bookshelf in the office, took out a book from it, and handed it to Penello. "Before I introduce it, I think you have to read this. You can directly turn to the last chapter, which is the chapter of "Three Brothers."

"Okay." Penello muttered and picked up the book and read it.Hera took out the Elder Wand from his pocket, and put it together with the Invisibility Cloak, along with the resurrection stone ring on his hand.

"Let me see what will happen when the three holy artifacts are gathered together." Hera said silently in her heart.His eyes were fixed on the Invisibility Cloak, the Resurrection Stone, and the Elder Wand, and his heart was beating fast.

However, everything was beyond Hera's expectation, and nothing happened.Everything was quiet, only the sound of Penello turning the pages of the book from time to time in the room.

"Could it be that what is said in the storybook is all false?" Hera thought suspiciously, and he couldn't help thinking this way, after all, "The Tales of Beedle the Poet" was just a book of fairy tales, and what was written in it were not true facts.

When Hera was about to put away her wand and bring the ring back to her hand, Penello just put down the book and raised her head.

"The Three Hallows of Death?" She pointed to the illustration in the storybook and asked in amazement, "Have you gathered all the three Hallows?"

"I think so." Hera shrugged, "But nothing strange happened, and I didn't become the master of Death."

"It's just a book of fairy tales." Penello complained, but her brows quickly frowned, "So, what you're hiding from me is that you've been secretly collecting Deathly Hallows?"

Hera shook her head, "I just want to verify my guess," he quickly put the ring back on his hand, and put the wand in his pocket, "but obviously, this is just a fairy tale."

"You'd better give up such a terrible idea, Hera." Penelope stared into Hera's eyes and said, "Although I don't particularly understand it, there is no doubt that power is not a good thing. I don't want you to become—become a person like the mysterious man."

Hera's body froze, and she put her arms around Penello's waist, "I just want to find a way to defeat him."

"Then why do you collect them? We have the Order of the Phoenix, the Ministry of Magic, and there are so many people. We will definitely be able to defeat the mysterious man." Penello's voice was very low, as if crying, "I don't want you to become that kind of person. Isn't it good that we are in the castle?"

"Of course, but there is still an enemy stalking outside the castle." Hera sighed, "Besides, these are all left to me by Dumbledore. I just happened to remember that Harry had the Invisibility Cloak in his hand, so I borrowed it."

"Well, well, I believe you are not that kind of person. We will protect Hogwarts, we will defeat the mysterious man, we will win." Penello whispered, as if hypnotizing himself.

Hera kissed Penello gently on the forehead, "I will return the Invisibility Cloak to Harry when I meet him again next week."

"Yeah." Penello nodded.

Hera sighed, and used the other hand to shove the cloak into a drawer. "Go to Slughorn's party, okay? I'll go with you, wearing the cloak, of course."

"Well, I will reply to him tomorrow, I think he must be very happy." Penello leaned in Hera's arms and said.

Hera scanned the office, trying to find an excuse to change the subject until he saw Phineas.

"If I remember correctly, Phineas, you once tried to resell the Invisible Beast, right?"

Phineas was so angry that his beard flew up, "Where is it? You clearly remembered it wrong! It's that guy Fletcher, we just have the same name!"

"Oh, that's all right." Hera nodded, but failed to change the subject.

At eight o'clock the next night, Hera came to the hall in the invisibility cloak, and Penello was beside him.

"Are you here?" Penello was wearing a silver glittering robe, showing off her graceful figure perfectly. Here, she is the most conspicuous existence, and many passing students cast their eyes on her.

"I'm by your side, don't worry, I will always be with you." Hera said in a low voice, he looked around, there were an unusually many girls wandering here in the hall, were they waiting for someone?
Penelope lifted the hem of her skirt and walked towards the steps, "I really don't understand why you want me to dress up so grandly, I heard it's just a small private party, isn't it?"

"But you are always so beautiful, I don't want to deprive you of your shining moments." Hera said with a snicker, and finally added, "Don't even think about dancing with someone."

"I dress up so beautifully, there must be many people who will invite me." Penello shook her hair and said.

Hera curled her lips, "I will deduct points from their college, I have plenty of excuses. Besides, you are my wife, how dare the students invite you."

"That's a pity." Penello said without regret. She was joking with Hera. Even if someone invited her to dance, she would refuse.

While they were talking, they had entered Slughorn's office, laughter, music, and loud voices increasing with their steps.

Slughorn had probably cast a spell here, and it was also possible that he had removed the bottles and jars that Snape kept in his office, making the room seem much larger.The ceiling and walls were hung with emerald and crimson and gold hangings, making it look like a large tent.The room was crowded and stuffy, glowing red from a golden lantern hanging in the center of the ceiling.There are really elves twinkling in the lamp, and each elf is a bright broadcast.From a far corner came loud singing that sounded like it was accompanied by mandala bells.A few old wizards who were chattering away hung a little mist from their pipes.Some house-elves creaked through the calf jungle, carrying heavy silver trays that hid their bodies and looked like roaming little tables.

"I will follow you." Hera whispered in Penello's ear.Penello nodded nervously.

"Penello, you are finally here, we have been waiting for you for a long time!" As soon as Penello entered the door, Slughorn shouted loudly, "Come here, come here, I can't wait to introduce these friends to you."

Slughorn, wearing a tasseled velvet hat that matched his smoking shirt, barely gave Penelope a second glance as he led her all the way to the innermost table.

"Penello, Miss Penelope Clearwater, is the most powerful person in Hogwarts right now." Slughorn said with a smile, "She is my immediate boss. It is thanks to her that she is willing to lend us the elves, otherwise we would not be able to enjoy so many delicious meals."

Penello smiled and nodded towards the people on the table. Hera also looked at the people on the table. He had to stick tightly to the wall to prevent someone from accidentally bumping into him.

A small man wearing glasses, and beside him was a tall and thin guy with blind eyes and dark circles, looking tired. Hera could smell blood from him, even the smell of food in the room couldn't cover up his stench.

vampire!
Hera determined his identity almost instantly. After all, he had communicated with a female vampire at a negative distance, even though that guy almost bit off Hera's neck. (Pick your nose, I mentioned this before, do you remember? Leave your contact information, you can get 100 starting coins, limited to 5 people, join the group and add me)

In the eyes of everyone, the vampire stood up from the table and rubbed towards a group of girls next to it, with a hungry look in its eyes.

"Here, a pie," said the little man beside him, grabbing a piece from a toban elf and stuffing it into the vampire's hand.

"Professor Slughorn, I don't think it's a good choice for such a hungry friend to come to the castle." Penello frowned and looked at the vampire. Did he use this as his ration place?

This is a huge threat to all the girls in the school, after all, few people can resist the vampire's charm magic - which will make them willingly offer their smooth necks.

"Ahem, he's a friend of Walpple's. What did I say? It's best not to bring the bloody over here. It's too dangerous for him to cross the borderline, especially at this time." Slughorn said with a smile, while reprimanding the little man, "I know you have a good relationship with them, but it's not appropriate, it's not appropriate."
