Master Druid at Hogwarts

Chapter 713 Joining the slug club is not a bad thing
"Hermione, why did you ask Fish to agree to his invitation?"

(ˇˇ)
After Slughorn left contentedly with his big belly, Mao Mao immediately asked with a little dissatisfaction.

"Fisch doesn't like that guy meow!"

"I don't like him either."

Hermione first agreed, and then explained: "But anyway, he is a professor, and it's not good to keep rejecting his invitation."

Of course, these words were only used to appease the cat. The real reason was that she noticed Harry's struggles, and because her mother was also a member of the Slug Club, Hermione decided to help him...

In the situation just now, if even Fish refused, Harry would definitely be ashamed to agree to Professor Slughorn's invitation.

She thought for a while, and then said: "And Dumbledore didn't say that Professor Slughorn likes to 'collect' talented students. You refused this time, and maybe there will be a next time. Why don't you take advantage of it tonight?" Explain things to him."

"That's right..." Maomao waved his fist and said, "If he refuses to merge the Slug Club into the Maomao Club tonight, Fisher will beat him up!"

(`ω)
"That's not what I meant!" Hermione hurriedly dissuaded, "And if you do this, aren't you afraid that Minerva will be angry?"

Hearing that Hermione had moved out of Professor McGonagall, Fish immediately froze.

"It's not that you said to talk to him tonight, meow..." Mao Mao wrinkled her nose and muttered.

"I mean, let's turn down the invitation to join the Slug Club tonight, so he shouldn't bother you in the future." Hermione explained dumbfoundingly.

Then she glanced at Harry again, and said considerately: "Harry, you don't have to think about us, just join if you want to join..."

After catching a glimpse of Fish's cheeks puffing up suddenly, and wanting to accuse Harry, Hermione quickly added: "After all, your mother once joined the Slug Club."

Fish blinked, his anger subsided in an instant, and in turn persuaded Hermione together.

"That's right meow, Albus also said that joining that club is good, and anyway, it will be snatched by Fish sooner or later, it doesn't matter if you join now meow!"

(ˇˇ)
Mao Mao crossed her hands, nodded solemnly and said.

"Ah... um... thank you."

Knowing their kindness, Harry thanked them with a smile, and didn't bother to explain that the reason why he didn't agree to Slughorn's invitation before was mainly because he didn't like the attitude of the other party...

Another reason is that Draco Malfoy had already agreed to Slughorn's invitation when he was on the train, which also made Harry feel a little resistant to joining the club.

In the afternoon, of course, it was impossible for Fish and Hermione to go back to do homework. He turned into a cat and wandered around the castle, enjoying being touched and fed by other people from time to time, or looking for a pleasing place Squint for a moment.

Mao Mao spent a Saturday afternoon leisurely as always, and after dinner time, he returned to the common room to join Hermione, Ginny and Harry.

The four said goodbye to Ron, who was upset, and came to Professor Slughorn's office together.

Since Snape hadn't moved his office to the third floor, and because Slughorn needed a venue large enough to entertain the club members, his office was much larger than the average teacher's room.

"Ha! Look who's here?" Almost at the same time as the four of them pushed the door open, Slughorn greeted him, and he loudly said enthusiastically: "The famous Fish and Harry! There are also grades. Miss Granger, who has always been at the top, and Miss Weasley, who has amazing magical power!"

As soon as he came up, he grabbed the arms of Fish and Harry respectively, and led them into the house. At the same time, he did not forget to give Hermione and Ginny a friendly nod. Enshi is simply worlds apart.

Fish did not resist, because he was already attracted by the aroma of food wafting around the room.

(﹃)
"Let me introduce you, this is Gwenog Jones, of the Holyhead Harpies..."

Slughorn pulled the two of them towards a dark-skinned witch who was obviously not a Hogwarts student, but halfway there, he suddenly found that he couldn't move...

To be exact, it was the cats who were originally cooperating that suddenly stood still, and Slughorn naturally couldn't drag Fish.

"Fish is hungry! We need to eat first, meow!"

=(ΦДΦ)

Facing Slughorn's suspicious gaze, Maomao said it as a matter of course, then shook his arm and broke away from his hand, and ran to the dining table full of food.

Slughorn rubbed his smooth brow awkwardly, then laughed dryly.

"That's right! I'm the one in a hurry. Let's eat something to fill your stomach first!" He waved his hand and said to the others in the room: "We have plenty of time to communicate after eating."

Others in Hogwarts had long been used to this appearance of Fish, so naturally they would not be surprised or offended, they came to Fish's side with a chuckle, and tasted the delicacies on the table with Maomao.

I have to say that the food prepared by Slughorn is indeed very delicious. After all, he relies on his contacts to get many things here. The ordinary ingredients in Hogwarts are still incomparable. .

and so……

"Hermione...Fish suddenly felt...that joining this club is not a bad thing."

Ψ(~)

While chewing the food, Maomao whispered to Hermione next to her.

Hermione gave the little greedy cat a funny look, and agreed cooperatively: "Yes, yes, didn't you say so? Professor Dumbledore also said that joining the Slug Club is good."

Fish looked at the food in front of him and nodded fiercely, "Yes! The benefits are too great, meow!"

Then Mao Mao frowned again, and continued stuffing food into its mouth while saying, "But Fisher still doesn't want to be Shi Meow's 'collection'..."

Ψ(~)

"That's up to you." Hermione shrugged. She didn't care, anyway, no matter what Fish chose, she would follow.

"Hello." Just as Fish was gobbling and struggling, the dark-skinned witch came to Fish, and she introduced herself with a slightly proud smile: "My name is Gwenog Jones, Batsman and captain of the Holyhead Harpies."

"Batter? Quidditch Meow?"

Ψ(~)

Mao Mao looked at her with her head tilted, and said frankly: "Fisch doesn't like Quidditch, so I don't know you still have the team you mentioned, meow."

"...Huh?" The smile on Jones' face froze suddenly.

The Holyhead Harpies are an all-female Quidditch team in Wales. Not to mention the global scope, at least in the wizarding world in England, it can be said that everyone is well-known, especially among the witches, they have a particularly high reputation. popularity.

This can also be seen from the excited expressions of Ginny and other little witches next to her.

And since Jones played in the Harpies, she is also very well-known in the wizarding world of England, and she will not even lose to Harry Potter, the "Boy Who Lived", so before she came here, she had no Thinking of getting such an answer from Fisch.

"Well, Fish doesn't like the complicated rules of Quidditch, so he has no interest in the game, so naturally he doesn't know how good you are." Ginny hurriedly explained for Maomao.

"Ah...it's okay. Although it's relatively rare, there are people who don't like Quidditch." Naturally, Jones couldn't be angry with Maomao, she waved her hand generously and said.

Of course, this is Fish. If someone else said they didn't like Quidditch in front of her, Jones would definitely have a good fight with the other party.

However, on the premise that Fish was not interested in Quidditch, Gwenog Jones wanted to communicate with Maomao, so he didn't know how to start the conversation.

"Hey kids, what are you talking about? Would you mind adding me?"

Fortunately, at this moment, Slughorn came over with a glass of red wine.

"Of course I don't mind, Professor." Jones asked him for help with a wry smile, "I'm trying to get to know Fish, but unfortunately he doesn't seem to like Quidditch..."

"Oh, I can't help you with that, honey." Slughorn spread his hands, "Fish doesn't really like me that much...although I don't know why yet."

With his communication skills, how could he not be able to see that Fish is bored with him, but he is confident that he can change Mao Mao's opinion, but before that he has to figure out why, so he immediately followed Jones's words and expressed Doubts were thrown out.

"Can you tell me the reason, Fish?" Even though he knew that he was hated, Slughorn still maintained that blissful attitude and asked Mao Mao.

"Fisch doesn't want to be anyone's 'collection' meow!"

(ˇˇ)
Mao Mao put down the knife and fork in his hand, swallowed the food in his mouth, and replied with a serious face.
