Arms dealer from Hogwarts

Chapter 75 Dinner
The way the Grays travel is very ceremonial.

Several majestic Pegasus horses are pulling the carriage and flying above the sky, and the white and thick clouds can be seen outside the window.

Gray's family keeps two kinds of flying horses, one is the rune horse, and the other is thestral. When attending a banquet, the cart is usually pulled by the rune horse of the god steed, but if it is a long-distance trip , it will be replaced by a Thestral flying extremely fast.

Thestrals are a kind of Pegasus. Only those who have seen death and understand the meaning of death can see them. This kind of creature is very smart. It will never forget the places it has been. It has the same ability to find targets as owls. fight.

It is worth mentioning that only Hagrid in the UK has the ability to tame thestrals. In other words, so far, all the Thestrals in captivity in the UK have been purchased from Hogwarts Hagrid.

"Where is the old Slughorn house?"

Inside the carriage, Jamie in an evening dress fell on Charlotte's lap, casually looking at his palms. He has been studying palmistry recently, but perhaps because he is not talented, he can only see that The hand shape is pretty nice.

"It's in Wiltshire." Charlotte said gently.

"The Malfoy family is also in Wiltshire... I found that these pure-blood families seem to live in the southeast of England?" Jemini blinked.

"Because the climate here is relatively pleasant, and it is near London." Shirley explained: "And the Ministry of Magic is located underground in London, and Diagon Alley is also in London, so there are indeed many wizards living here."

"There are three densely populated areas of wizards in the UK. One is London, the other is Hogsmeade, and the last is Godric's Hollow."

"Godric's Hollow." Jamie nodded thoughtfully.

Godric's Hollow is a magical place. If you want to go back, the ancestors of many wizards come from there, the Potter family, the Dumbledore family, and Godric Gryffindor.

Even the first golden snitch in history was refined in Godric's Hollow, which is still a gathering place for half-wizards.

It's a pity that since more than a dozen members of the Potter family were wiped out there more than ten years ago, there has been no decline there.

That's right, Harry's parents were not the only ones who were killed by Voldemort back then. He killed everyone in the entire Potter family except Harry...

Finally, the carriage landed in the sky, and after running on a wide lawn for a while, it slowly stopped in front of a large villa.

"I thought that the old man he likes to enjoy so much must live in some luxurious castle."

Jemini helped Charlotte out of the car and smiled lightly.

"I heard that Professor Slughorn lives alone, and it would be too deserted to live in the castle." Charlotte said gently.

For wizards, building a castle is not a difficult task. What is rare is how to cover up the castle, the land needed to build the castle, and various maintenance of the castle.

"Ha! Good evening, Charlotte! I knew you'd come."

As soon as they entered the door, Jemini saw a fat old man approaching with a red face. The old man's eyes swept across Charlotte's face, and then fell on Jemini's face.

"Good evening, Professor." Charlotte nodded slightly, holding the corner of her skirt.

"So... this must be Mr. Fox?" Slughorn looked at Jemini eagerly.

"Jemini Fox. It's an honor to meet you, Professor Slughorn." Gentleman Jemini bowed.

"I'm honored too." Slughorn said happily from ear to ear: "Fighting a three-headed dog and two-headed monster bravely, and winning the battle, Slytherin is proud of you, Jamie .”

Slughorn looked enthusiastic and went straight to calling Jemini by his first name.

"I've been wanting to meet you since I heard that you were brought to Gray's house by Charlotte. I don't know if Charlotte told you that I taught her back then."

"Of course." Jemini smiled gently, "Miss Charlotte told me that your potion skills are very high, and she has always admired you."

Fart admiration.

Charlotte's evaluation of Slughorn is: vanity, snobbery, lust for pleasure and love for relationships.

However, Slughorn did teach Charlotte for a period of time. At that time, Charlotte was only eleven or twelve years old. At that time, Charlotte showed a strong talent for potions, and she was still the top of Ravenclaw. He has always been favored by Slughorn, but Charlotte doesn't like him very much.

Then after You-Know-Who fell, Slughorn resigned, and Snape started teaching Potions and Head Slytherin at that time.

Jamini speculates that the reason for his resignation may be that Dumbledore has become aware of what he considers a dishonorable memory.

Because seeing the people coming and going in the courtyard, the old man obviously didn't want to stay at home, otherwise he wouldn't teach again because of Harry's temptation. Of course, the death eaters' pursuit of him may also be part of the reason. .

"Come on, there are your acquaintances this time." Slughorn cheerfully greeted everyone.

In the courtyard of the villa, several huge round tables were laid out, covered with red tablecloths, and filled with various delicacies.

"Ha! Jemini!" A shrill voice sounded, and at a round table, Professor Flitwick greeted Jemini with a smile.

"Professor Flitwick!" Jemini's face brightened.

Although he is a student of Slytherin, among the four deans, Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout have the best relationship with him.

"Horace told me that you would come today, so I came too. How is it, you haven't missed your spell homework?" Professor Flitwick said with a smile.

Jemini said gently: "Of course I didn't fall behind. Adria finished writing for me."

Professor Flitwick: "???"

"Just kidding, Professor."

"Aha~ I knew it!"

"Actually Shirley helped write it."

"..."

"I wrote it myself, please rest assured." Jemini chuckled.

Shaking his head helplessly, Professor Flitwick looked at Jemini with a hint of appreciation: "Anyway, don't forget about Charms."

"Of course not, Professor." Jemini nodded gently, "I'm best at spells."

"Before the holiday, I vaguely remembered that you told Minerva that transfiguration is what you are best at?" Professor Flitwick said mercilessly.

"Transfiguration is also a branch of spells, of course I'm good at it." Jemini didn't blush at all.

Slughorn came over familiarly: "What, Felius? Don't embarrass our Slytherin rookies at my dinner party."

Jemini tilted his head, he always felt like he heard similar words somewhere?

"This kid should have entered Ravenclaw in the first place!" Professor Flitwick was furious, as if he had been poked into a sore spot: "He entered Slytherin only to disgust Severus!"

Jamie snickered.

I'm really afraid that one day Snape will give himself an Avada...
