Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Slughorn's office must have used the Seamless Stretching Charm. It is much larger than the impression. It can also be clearly seen that it has been carefully replanted.

Gold and green curtains hung on the ceiling and walls, and a golden crystal lantern hung in the middle.There was a soft wool carpet underfoot, and several musical instruments were placed in the corner, playing sweet music.

There were many people gathered in the room, gathering in twos and threes.Some are very old, wearing tall hats, holding smoking pipes while laughing and chatting.There were also house elves walking among the people carrying heavy silver plates. They were so short that at first glance they looked like small enchanted tables.

"Harry, I want you to meet my former student, Elder Walple." Slughorn pulled Harry next to a thin man wearing glasses. "He is the author of Blood Brothers: I The author of "Living Among Vampires" and, of course, his friend Bloody."

Walpole shook hands with Harry enthusiastically, but his friend the vampire Bloody didn't come over and was still chatting with the group of girls who were curious about him.

"I'm so happy to see you!" Walpole said excitedly, "I was telling Professor Slughorn that day, where is the Harry Potter Biography that everyone is looking forward to?"

"Um..." Harry said awkwardly, "There shouldn't be such a book..."

"Really?" Walple seemed even more excited, "Actually, I'm very willing to write this book. Now people are very eager to know about you!"

"If you are willing, just accept a few interviews from me, about four or five hours each time. It will only take a few months and I guarantee that you will be able to read it into a book. It won't cost you anything at all."

"You can't imagine how much money we can make..."

"Sorry, I'm really not interested in this." Harry refused directly and looked into the distance, "I saw a friend, I'm sorry..."

Harry apologized to Walpole again, pulled Luna, who had been looking around curiously, around him and walked inside.There, Hermione and Parvati were chatting with two members of the Weird Sisters.

"Hermione, Parvati!" Harry and Luna greeted Hermione and Parvati, "You actually came together?"

"Of course." Hermione said indifferently, "No one cares about what I said."

While talking, the four of them squeezed towards the corner of the room, taking a few glasses of mead from the moving silver plates on the way.However, they did not expect that there was already someone in this corner.

"Good evening, Professor Trelawney." Luna greeted.

"Good evening, my dear." Professor Trelawney seemed to have drunk too much. She was still holding a half-full bottle of sherry in her hand. "I haven't seen you this year. Why don't you give up on divination?" Yet?"

"I took Professor Firenze's class," Luna said.

This answer made Professor Trelawney very angry, and she began to speak ill of Firenze angrily.But it wasn't long before she noticed Harry trying to hide himself.

"Dear child, Harry Potter." She said drunkenly, "Those rumors, stories, and the star of salvation... The third eye told me a long time ago... But why don't you come to the divination class? ?This course is particularly important to you..."

"Sybil, we all feel that our classes are very important." Harry swore that he had never been so grateful for the arrival of Professor Slughorn.

"I swear, he's a genius at potions! Just like his mother! Even Severus..." As he said that, Slughorn looked at Harry's horrified eyes and didn't know where to turn Slughorn. Nep pulled him over, "Ah Severus, I was mentioning Harry's talent in potions!"

"Really?" Snape said slowly, still with a cold face, staring at Harry, "This is something I have never discovered."

"Haha, let me tell you Severus, he is a genius! You should really see the living hell potion he made in the first class. No student has ever done it better than him in the first time... Slughorn said loudly, his eyes swept over Hermione who was quietly drinking mead next to Harry, and couldn't help but paused, "Oh, of course, and Hermione..."

"We all know Miss Granger's talent." Snape said calmly, making Harry nod in surprise, and Hermione raised her glass in response.

Professor Slughorn obviously didn't want the topic to turn to Hermione. After all, compared to Hermione, Harry was more famous and more in line with his temperament.However, before he could abruptly bring the topic back, Filch dragged Malfoy over.

"Professor Slughorn, I found this boy hiding in the corridor upstairs, sneaking around, saying he was invited to the party by you." Filch's eyes flashed with madness, "You gave me Did he send invitations?”

Before Professor Slughorn could speak, Malfoy threw Filch away with force and said angrily: "That's enough, you didn't invite me! Are you happy?"

"No, but you are in trouble! Remember, the principal doesn't allow walking around at night!" Filch looked even more excited.

At this moment, Snape suddenly spoke.He took two steps forward and grabbed Malfoy's arm.Malfoy immediately started struggling violently, but compared to Filch, Snape was much stronger and he couldn't break away at all.

"I'm sorry, Professor Slughorn, I am his dean, and I will educate him on politeness and etiquette." With that, he pulled Malfoy away.

"Wait, Severus!" Professor Slughorn said, "Today is Christmas, don't be too harsh, he can stay here..."

"No." Snape immediately refused, "I cannot tolerate students in my college making such wrong moves." As soon as he finished speaking, he took Malfoy and left.

Seeing this scene, Harry couldn't help but become concerned, winked at Hermione and squeezed out.As soon as he went out, he took out the invisibility cloak from his pocket and put it on. The corridor was now empty, with no one at all.

But it was a bit difficult next. It was obvious that the front and rear feet came out, but he didn't see Snape and Malfoy at all.While mentally calculating where they might appear, he checked each door along the corridor.

Finally, outside an empty classroom near the stairs, he heard two people talking.

"...No more mistakes can be made, Draco..."

"...It has nothing to do with me...I didn't do it...I know what you are doing, but it's useless..."

"...What do you want to hide from your master..."

"...I don't want you to get involved...I have a plan, but it will take a long time..."

The voices in the room were louder and quieter, and Harry couldn't hear them clearly through the door.But even so, he heard a lot of crucial information.

For example, Snape made an unbreakable vow, or Malfoy had a plan.

But the most important thing is that the two of them are indeed Voldemort's people!

Harry heard it very clearly. The two of them called Voldemort...master!
