Master Druid at Hogwarts

Chapter 698 Collectibles

"Ahem...Actually, the salary I just gave is not low." Dumbledore quickly added: "Even if it is the Ministry of Magic, except for the directors and directors, it is also the salary of those Aurors. They are taller than Horace... Aurors are the hardest job in the Ministry of Magic, chasing down criminals, protecting important people, collecting dangerous objects... basically they have to do everything!"

Harry, who was determined to become an Auror, touched his nose.

"Aurors? Those guys who were drunk by Fish and took their friends to beat them up, right?"

(ˇˇ)
Fish nodded thoughtfully, "It seems to be... It feels like they are everywhere... So, they are the errand-runners in the Ministry of Magic?"

"Yes! That's right!" Dumbledore affirmed firmly.

Harry reached out and touched his earlobe again.

"Working so hard, no wonder I get more money, meow."

The simple cat was easily persuaded by Dumbledore, but...

"Fisch still doesn't want to work meow..."

(ω)
"Ahem... this issue, you should discuss it slowly with Minerva in the future." Dumbledore will not be stupid enough to get involved in this matter, he just needs to ensure that when Fish wants to work, he will choose to work. Hogwarts would be nice to be a teacher.

So he decisively changed the subject and said, "You guys did a good job today, otherwise I'd have to work hard to convince Horace."

"But we didn't do anything?" Harry said in astonishment.

Dumbledore smiled mysteriously, instead of answering the question, he asked instead: "What do you think of Horace?"

Because the contact time is too short, and there is not much communication, so Harry needs to think about it.

And Fish didn't think about it that much, he said bluntly: "Fish doesn't like him very much, meow!"

(`ω)
"Oh? Why?" Instead of blaming him, Dumbledore asked with interest.

"Fish can't tell... I just think he looks at Fish strangely, which makes Fish very uncomfortable meow..."

(ω)

Mao Mao scratched her head, and replied somewhat confusedly.

"So what do you think of him, Harry?" Dumbledore turned his gaze to Harry.

"Hmm..." Harry said after deliberating for a while, "I think he's quite kind, and he should be a good professor?"

He was not influenced by Fish, but replied according to his inner feelings.

Dumbledore nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that Fisher is more sensitive..."

Seeing the surprised expression on Harry's face, he quickly explained: "Horace's people are not bad, they just like material comforts, and like to make friends with famous, successful, and powerful people. He Love the feeling that other people are at his mercy."

He pointed to Fish and Harry, "It just so happens that you two are the most famous students in the wizarding world in recent years, this is like a rare treasure to Horace, that's why he is here After seeing you, I immediately agreed to my invitation."

Harry recalled Slughorn's behavior before, and sighed softly as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Then why didn't he work in the Ministry of Magic?" Harry asked again: "According to what you said, he should have the ability and connections, so he can do well in the Ministry of Magic, right?"

"Indeed," Dumbledore nodded approvingly, "but Horace never wanted to be in charge, he preferred to take a secondary position - that way the world was wider and he was more at ease. He has a very unusual ability, always It can select those who will become outstanding in all walks of life in the future. And Hogwarts is the most suitable place for him to display this ability."

"Horace started a club around himself a long time ago, and then picked his favorite students from the school to join this club. He let them get to know each other, made useful connections, and in the end always gained Some kind of benefit, or getting a free box of his favorite pineapple preserves, or having the opportunity to recommend a clerk to the goblin liaison office, or getting a bottle of good wine that is hard to sell in the market."

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. .

On the other hand, Fish blinked, waved his arms excitedly and said, "Just like Fish's cat club?"

(ω)
"Maomao Club?" Dumbledore was slightly taken aback, and then said dumbfoundedly: "Is this the name of the small group you formed in private?"

Although he intentionally guided Hermione to form the Cat Club, Dumbledore didn't pay special attention to the specific progress. He still believed in Hermione's ability, because in this little girl, Deng Bullido saw the shadow of Professor McGonagall.

"That's right meow! You all have the Order of the Phoenix, so it's not normal for Fish to form a cat society meow!"

(`)
Mao Mao shook his head triumphantly.

"Hmm... a pretty good name..." Dumbledore boasted against his will, and then said: "However, the nature of Horace's club is different from that of the Order of the Phoenix and your... um... the Cat Club. It is a looser organization, the main function of which is to allow its members to communicate and help each other, and Horace's identity in it is a serializer rather than a leader."

Fish was still confused, but Harry understood what Dumbledore meant, and he also understood why Fish said that Slughorn's eyes made him feel uncomfortable.

Harry also frowned in disgust at the thought of being regarded as some kind of "collection".

"I'm telling you this, not to make you feel disgusted with Horace...we must call him Professor Slughorn now..." Dumbledore saw Harry's expression, and further explained: "Join There is nothing wrong with his club, but there will be a lot of benefits, but I hope you can stay vigilant. Animagus born, Boy Who Lived...you will become treasures in his collection, So he will definitely come to win you over."

Harry frowned, but he still felt a little hesitant about Slughorn and his club.

And Mao Mao's thoughts are a little different, he tilted his head and thought for a while...

"Fish doesn't want to become someone else's collection, meow! Although that fat old man has a bald head and no hair, but Fish still wants to turn him into a cat club and make him a Fisch's collection, meow!"

　Continue to be punished by God...

　　Today I made an appointment at the pet hospital and took Zhongyuan to the follow-up visit. Because of the distance, I usually choose to ride a bicycle, so I checked the weather forecast for today.

　　The probability of rain in the morning is 60-70%, and the probability of rain in the afternoon is only more than 30%.

　　The morning was gloomy and there was no rain. In the afternoon, I picked a time with the lowest probability and went out under the scorching sun...

　　Then halfway through the ride, the rain with only a 23% chance of occurrence slapped my face indiscriminately without warning...

　　The only thing to be thankful for is that the rain is not too heavy, and it is within an acceptable range...

　　What kind of unlucky man am I!
　　……

　　Thank you Yelingyin for your reward.
