Shandy is not a smart child, he is even a little clumsy, but he is very obedient.

It's like his father told him that there is no need to get close to those children from pure-blood families, so he doesn't talk to those people very much.

However, there are very few mixed-race children in Slytherin, or even children from non-pure-blood families.

This makes Mrs. Spohr never understand why her children are sorted into Slytherin.

"I thought Shandy would go to Hufflepuff. After all, I am from Hufflepuff."

Mr. Spohr couldn't say anything about this, maybe because most of the Spohr family members are Slytherins.

Therefore, Shandy really didn't have very close relationships with many people in Slytherin.

His temperament meant that even if Mr. Spohr deliberately established a good relationship with Slughorn, he would still be disliked by the dean.

Shandy felt that his family was actually one of the few neutral families in Slytherin, but what it was actually like was probably something he couldn't fit into his head.

That night, when his family suddenly wrote a letter asking him to come home, he didn't think much about it.

Hagrid sent him outside, and he got on the wizard's knight bus and came to the door of his house.

Shandi didn't think much, just ran to the door and knocked on it.

With a creak, the crimson wooden door opened, and it was extremely dark inside the room, but Shangdi didn't notice anything wrong at all. He ran in and shouted: "Mom, I'm back!"

The room was quiet, and he called out hesitantly: "Dad? Are you there? What's wrong with you?"

A chirping sound attracted Shandy's attention. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound. A match was shining brightly in the darkness, and the orange flame was under a cigarette.

The extremely quiet man in the dark waved his hand and extinguished the match. Shandy watched the match with a little residual light fly into the deep night and gradually disappear.

"Dad?" Subconsciously, Shangdi thought that figure was his father. "is it you?"

The cigarette was burning, and in the afterglow of the fireworks, Shangdi could even see wisps of smoke flying up.

It's so quiet.

Disturbing.

"Who are you?" Shandy asked with a trembling voice.

In the corner, there was a deep laughter. It was the voice of a strange woman.

"Oh my, I really tricked the Spohr children out. It's really interesting."

Shandy's eyes widened, trying to adapt to the dark environment in his house. He could vaguely see a few figures, and he wasn't even sure if they were human figures.

"Who...are you?" His voice became panicked. "Where are my father and mother?"

"Fluorescence."

I don't know who shouted this spell.

Shang Di squinted his eyes, and when he adjusted to the light, he saw seven or eight strange men and women who seemed to have seen him somewhere before.

He covered his eyes with one hand and subconsciously took a few steps back.

Then, looking around the room, his breathing stopped for a moment.

On the stairs leading to the second floor, there was a familiar person lying down.

Shandy said hesitantly: "Dad?"

Mr. Spohr just turned his back to Shandy. When he reached the stairs leading to the second floor, Shandy slowly turned his body to turn in that direction.

He doesn't understand. He doesn't understand very much.

"dad?"

Get up?

Shandi thought so and took two steps forward.

Mr. Spohr, who always pays great attention to his appearance, has messy hair, his pajamas are a little messy, and he stretches one hand towards the second floor.

He seemed to be petrified, motionless, and not even the ups and downs of a person's own breathing seemed to be moved, not even a hair was moved.

This is very wrong.

Shang Di seemed to understand something. He subconsciously looked towards the second floor. In the dark night, there was no sound. Shang Di subconsciously shouted towards the second floor: "Mom..."

He only yelled half of a word. After he returned home, he made quite a fuss, but his mother, Mrs. Spohr, never came down.

At this time, it seems obvious what the situation is.

Shandy stood stiffly behind his father and didn't speak for a long time.

Someone asked impatiently: "Should we go back?"

Then someone said, "Who's going to deal with this brat?"

"trouble……"

"AvadaKedavra!"

The darkness invaded and consciousness dissipated. It was probably just a moment of pain.

……

It was just a warning, Dumbledore knew it, everyone knew it.

But to whom is that warning?

At least since then, those neutral people in Slytherin have been silent. They are really as Voldemort wished, completely neutral, the kind of neutrality that they can't wait to hide themselves.

why?

Because that is Slytherin, Slytherin students, Slytherin people, how can they not surrender to Voldemort, the successor of Slytherin?

The Spohr family is neutral on the surface and does not interfere with any party, whether it is Voldemort's Death Eaters or Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix. However, due to the nature of healers, they prefer the lawful side and always try their best to Treat the wounded of the Order of the Phoenix.

Even if they say they treat all wounded equally, who can't tell what their attitude is?

To Voldemort, this was betrayal and contempt.

A wizard born in Slytherin, even if he wants to be neutral, must not sympathize with the power represented by Dumbledore. Even if it cannot be used by him, he must verbally favor him, the heir of Slytherin!

The Spohr family wants to be different?

How could it be allowed?

So, the Death Eaters came to the Spurr house.

When the murderers killed Mr. Spohr and went upstairs to attack the sleeping Mrs. Spohr, they thought of the Spohr child who was still attending Hogwarts.

I just wrote a random letter to see if I could trick Shangdi out.

Who would have thought that someone would trick a student from Hogwarts into coming out when Dumbledore was leaving school?

What's more, we just want that student to go back to his home. What danger can there be if he goes back to his home...

When daybreak came and this tragedy was discovered, it was too late to feel any regret.

All dissent within Slytherin disappeared. Fear and boundless panic made all the families rooted in Slytherin learn to remain silent.

Someone whispered that there are still students at home who are not in school. Fortunately, when they go to Hogwarts, they can tell their children not to go to Slytherin House. There is no need to be tied to those crazy people. They are still Able to escape.

Someone contacted the children at school and told them to be careful in their words and deeds, not to have any voice of dissatisfaction, and not to have anything to do with Gryffindor. If there was, it could only be hostility, even if they were still Children, at this time, you also need to learn what the hostility of the academy is.

……

A lot of people, a lot of people are up all night.

There was nothing Dumbledore could do.

Slytherin House seemed completely out of control.

It was at this time that Slughorn submitted his resignation letter.

"Horace, do you know what will happen to Slytherin if you leave at this time?"

Dumbledore tried to retain his old friend.

But he was frightened. This head of Slytherin, the most diplomatic professor, he became trembling and frightened.

"I have to leave, Albus! Please!"

"He shouldn't do anything to you, Horace." Dumbledore tried to persuade him again. "No matter what, you were the student who cared for him the most and loved him the most when he was in school. Even for the help you once gave him, he would not hurt you."

Slughorn's fragile eyes fell on Dumbledore, and he thought of a secret buried deep in his heart, which made him feel like he was stuck in his throat.

He couldn't tell anyone, not even someone like Dumbledore.

"Albus, I have to leave!"

"Where can you go?"

Slughorn avoided Dumbledore's scrutiny and spoke in a low voice.

"I will...I mean, I will hide...yes, hide myself..."

Dumbledore frowned: "What about the Slytherin students?!"

Slytherin is actually quite peaceful now, at least to Dumbledore. Even though many students worship and admire that scary person, there are still many sane students who are careful to stay away from those who already seem extremely Crazy students.

However, if Slughorn did not exist, Voldemort's infiltration into Slytherin would be even more serious. So what would happen to those students who were still "peaceful"?

Even just thinking about it, Dumbledore found it unacceptable.

Do we really want to watch the entire Slytherin house become Death Eater reserves?

"You can't leave your students behind, Horace..."

"I will die! Dumbledore! You have no idea how terrible he is?!" Slughorn became excited. "You want to keep me? If I were in Hogwarts, I would be killed by him because I interfered with his control over Slytherin!"

"Horace..."

Slughorn looked into Dumbledore's sad eyes and realized his dementia.

"I'm old, Albus. I'm old enough to retire. I'm just applying for resignation normally. Of course, I will stick to it until the end of this semester."

Dumbledore opened his mouth and looked at this depressed old friend, a deep feeling of powerlessness spread throughout his body.

He knew, he could see, that Slughorn was hiding something from him, and that was why he was so afraid of Voldemort, but did he really want to force this old friend to question him?

Dumbledore hesitated.

"I'm sorry, Albus, you have to find a new potions professor. I have a lot of things to do in the future, and I'm afraid I won't be able to recommend a suitable candidate for you."

"Horace..." Dumbledore said hoarsely. "You abandoned your students!"

Slughorn froze.

He lowered his head and bent his waist.

At that moment, he felt guilty.

"I just want to survive, that's all."

"I'm sorry, Albus..."
