Hogwarts card wizard

"Ah! Miss Weasley, please come in! We're all waiting for you!"

Slughorn's tone was cheery, but he didn't rise to greet Ginny as he had initially done.

Ginny didn't mind, and walked in with a smile.

But Luna still found clues. She saw her friend's eyes were slightly red and swollen, as if she had just cried.

Luna immediately stood up and walked over to Ginny, holding her back.

Ginny looked at her friend gratefully, she knew Luna well.She knew that Luna must have seen that she had just cried. Luna didn't say anything but taking the initiative to greet Ginny was the best comfort.

In fact, Slughorn didn't blame Ginny for being late. If it was Kevin who came at this time, Slughorn would definitely stand up.

The "ingredients" of the two are different in Slughorn's mind. You can despise Slughorn's "hobby", but Slughorn did not do too much at the party, because this "Versailles Round Table Conference "In the final analysis, it is a competition to see the "ingredients".

Ginny did well in school, but not enough to be spotted by Slughorn.The main reason why Ginny was invited was because Slughorn saw her cast a very perfect Batman spell on the train back to school.

Slughorn valued the talents of the students more than the "composition" of their background, so Ginny was able to receive the invitation not because she was from the Weasley family, but because of her own talents.

Ginny came to the table and said apologetically to everyone, "I'm sorry for the delay. I'm rarely late."

Slughorn laughed. "Hehe! That's all right. We're eating dessert just in time. If Belby doesn't eat up, hehe!"

Belby was the student who said "no speculation" just now. His uncle was a very famous Potions scientist, and his family was also a major in Potions.However, because his uncle often belittled his father's potion skills, the relationship between the family and his uncle was not good.

So this Belby put all his thoughts on food.

Under the guidance of Slughorn, the next topic of time progressed smoothly, and everyone had a chance to speak.The party was not enthusiastic, but it seemed relaxed.

Ginny was not in high spirits, she had just had a big fight with her boyfriend, and the most important point was that Harry and Zhang Qiu had been interacting frequently, which made her even more uncomfortable.

Kevin looked at Ginny and shook his head helplessly.

Because of Luna, Kevin and Ginny have a great relationship.And because she is Ron's sister, Ginny understands many of Kevin's thoughts.

What's interesting is that almost everyone knows that Ginny is interested in Harry, but as Ginny's brother, Ron himself doesn't know.

The thing is so interesting, originally relying on the relationship between the Weasley family and Luna, Ginny should be easy to get together with Harry.

Last year, Kevin and Harry stood up against Umbridge. At that time, Harry needed someone of the opposite sex to understand him and support him. At that time, if Ginny had joined Dumbledore's Army without hesitation, as long as he could Take another step, and there will be a happy result for everyone.

But in fact, Ginny had a boyfriend at the time, and she couldn't have walked to Harry at that time.

It was at this time that Zhang Qiu stood up, and whether it was the "latency period" of Dumbledore's army or when he broke into the Ministry of Magic, Zhang Qiu stood firmly by Harry's side.

Harry had always liked Zhang Qiu, and they had experienced so much together.Looking at the interaction between Harry and Zhang Qiu now, all Ginny and Harry can have is friendship.

……

It was before the lights were turned off that Slughorn ended the party and got up to send everyone away one by one.

After everyone left, Slughorn turned around and was about to walk in, but found that there was one person who hadn't left, sitting there staring at a unique hourglass on the table.

"Kevin?!"

Kevin smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Professor! I must say that your hourglass is very beautiful. I was fascinated when I saw it."

Slughorn came over with a smile and said: "Ah! Yes, this thing is really interesting. The speed of the sand leaking in it depends on whether the conversation is speculative or not. But I think this hourglass should not It’s amazing enough to let you stay.”

"Hehe!" Kevin smiled, took out a bottle of wine from the pendant, and said, "Of course! Look, the wine I promised you before! I wanted to give it to you when I came in, but I think everyone came empty-handed I didn't take it out."

"Ha ha!" Slughorn was very happy, took the drink and said with a smile: "It's great! I want to thank you, boy! I'm so happy! No, I have to have a drink now."

With that said, Slughorn opened the wine and poured himself a glass, before the aroma of drinking was filled around.

"Hmm!" Slughorn took a deep breath and said intoxicatedly, "Although I didn't drink it, I can already confirm that this is a perfect glass of fine wine!"

Kevin smiled and said, "It's not perfect yet! I think there is something missing."

"Oh! What's missing?" asked Slughorn, interested.

Kevin said with a smile: "Lack of a drinking buddy, someone who can drink with you."

"Haha!" Slughorn burst out laughing immediately, and said, "That's right, my boy! Good wine must be shared, and it's boring to drink it alone! That's very well said. It's a pity, You can't drink yet, Kevin. Otherwise you'd be my best drinking buddy!"

Kevin said: "There is a chance!"

Slughorn drank a glass of wine and was already a little tipsy, and Kevin poured him another glass.

Slughorn said drunkenly: "You know? Kevin! I wanted to know you before I returned to Hogwarts. At that time, I thought you were a genius."

Kevin picked up a cup, regardless of whether there was anything in it, and clinked glasses with Slughorn when he went up, and said modestly: "Where is it! Others are giving you face!"

Slughorn took another sip and said, "No no! This is your own ability! I have heard that you can break the restrictions set by the professors in the first grade, unlock the secret room in the second grade, and even kill The basilisk is dead! Merlin's beard! That's a basilisk, what a pity! Do you know? I've always wanted to collect some basilisk materials..."

Talking unintentionally, but listening intentionally.

Kevin took this new discovery to heart.

"The youngest champions of the Goblet of Fire! Victor Klum and Fleur Delacour. These two are also well-known and proud in the European magic circle, but you defeated them. Not to mention what happened last year , seriously! I can’t even think this is something a student can do.”

Facing Slughorn's praise, Kevin was modest and fooled it.

Slughorn refused when he poured him another drink.

"That's enough, Kevin! Thank you, there's class tomorrow. I guess the bottle will have to wait until the next party."

Kevin heard the words and didn't continue to persuade him to drink. Looking at Slughorn's appearance, Kevin felt that it was time, and the wine was in place.

One thing to say, Kevin's approach is good.

The combination of closeness and the blessing of alcohol may really be able to set that memory of Slughorn out.

But it's a pity that Kevin really seldom drinks, so he doesn't know how to judge what is "in place".

People who really drink "in place" will never say that I don't drink anymore, only those who are already unsteady but still pouring wine are really "in place".

Now Slughorn wasn't drunk at all!
