Hogwarts: I inherited my legacy

"How can this be!?"

Harry exclaimed, with a look of disbelief on his face,

He finally understood the underlying meaning of Professor Horace Slughorn's words.

It was nothing more than a suggestion that something was wrong with Mr. Crouch.

"Professor, your perception must be wrong, or Mr. Crouch is pretending to be Voldemort. After all, as we all know, Mr. Crouch was the one who killed Voldemort..."

Harry stopped mid-sentence, as if he suddenly realized something, and swallowed the rest of his words back into his stomach.

He suddenly remembered that extremely sinister black magic like Horcrux should not be announced so lightly.

It was because he personally experienced the duel that night, and because of his unique and special identity, that he was allowed to learn the secrets about Horcruxes as an exception.

But this does not mean that anyone else has the right to know about the existence of Horcruxes.

"You mean Horcrux, right?"

Seeing that Harry was so alert, able to react quickly and keep silent in time, Professor Slughorn showed an appreciative smile,

Then he nodded slightly to express his satisfaction. But when he noticed the thoughtful look on Harry's face, he couldn't help but sigh softly and said seriously,

"Yes, it's pretty much what you think, kid. This is also one of my faults. When he found the magic [Horcrux] in the forbidden book area and became interested in it, I didn't notice it in time. It was my temporary It was through laziness and connivance that the most dangerous dark wizard in nearly a thousand...well...a hundred years was born."

Horace Slughorn did want to portray the threat posed by Voldemort as more serious.

But to be fair, a character many times more terrifying than Voldemort had already appeared a hundred years ago, and they just mentioned him.

Ever since, the experienced old professor immediately changed the topic.

"I'm sure that person is Crouch, after all, he came with Rufus Scrimgeour at the time. However, as to whether this Crouch is someone else in disguise... Well, I'm not sure about that. unknown."

Faced with Professor Slughorn's words, Harry really couldn't agree.

He looked at Snape expectantly, hoping that he would stand up and defend himself.

But who would have thought that Snape was deep in thought at this moment and turned a blind eye to Harry's look for help.

Although he failed to get help from Snape, Harry was not too disappointed.

Instead, an idea suddenly came to his mind that he had never considered before.

"Since you think Mr. Crouch behaves strangely and choose to avoid him, why do you also avoid Professor Snape?" Harry asked this question, which made the old professor feel slightly embarrassed.

Is it possible that he wants to say that this teacher of yours was originally a minion of Voldemort? I'm worried he's working for Voldemort?

At this moment, Professor Horace Slughorn secretly sighed in his heart, Harry is indeed the child of James Potter and Lily Evans!

Not only did she perfectly inherit her father's reckless character, but she also possessed her mother's extraordinary courage.

In this way, a unique temperament was formed - [reckless bravery], or [extremely reckless].

Just when the old professor was shocked and speechless, Snape quickly stepped forward to save him.

Snape slowly lifted up his cuffs, unabashedly displaying the hideous Death Eater mark in front of everyone.

It was only then that Harry suddenly realized, as if he had just woken up from a dream.

Oh, yes, this teacher of mine was once Voldemort's lackey...

In fact, Sirius had mentioned this to him before, em..., well, he was actually scolding Snape.

However, Harry always believed that Professor Snape was actually a spy planted by Dumbledore next to Voldemort, so he chose to forget this past intentionally or unintentionally.

After Snape lowered his cuffs again, he said,

"It's normal for Professor Slughorn not to trust me, but Harry, you have to remember that these two people in the room are people you can trust."

[They will all give their lives for you without hesitation] Snape and Professor Slughorn added in their hearts.

Hearing Snape's words, Harry felt a warm feeling in his heart.

As an orphan living in his aunt's home, Harry has been very sensitive to people's emotions since he was a child.

He could feel the love and care from the two professors. Like Sirius, they were both so sincere.

[This is probably what family members are like, right? ] Harry thought.

......

However, warmth is warmth,

The three people still could not come to a unified conclusion as to whether there was a problem with Crouch.

Professor Slughorn firmly believed in his intuition. He felt that things were not that simple.

Harry firmly believed that Barty Crouch Sr., who had defeated Voldemort's Horcrux, was absolutely reliable.

Despite their differences of opinion, the three eventually reached an important consensus.

Slughorn will succeed Snape, and this responsibility will fall on his shoulders, both as Potions Professor and Head of Slytherin House.

The reason for this is, on the one hand, that Umbridge does not seem to be keen on competing for this position. She values ​​​​more the position of Vice Principal held by Professor McGonagall.

On the other hand, because Professor Slughorn is an experienced dean, it is very reasonable to re-employ him.

The most important thing... is actually that the school board has already decided.

After this trip, all three of them actually gained a lot.

Snape relieved himself of the burden and successfully found a substitute... No, taking over... Also wrong,

In short, he now has his wish and is free from any problems.

Professor Slughorn also gained something extraordinary. Not only was his personal safety guaranteed, but he also returned to his beloved teaching position. Most importantly, the precious gift Lily left him had been repaired.

Harry was even more profitable. Not only did he no longer need to work in vain, but he also successfully joined the old professor who was his mother's teacher and father. He also successfully drank an [Elixir of Life] and even took the opportunity to replenish it. After removing the [Passive Resistance Curse] from his body, he was the big winner today.

......

"So Raven, why did that water tank come back to life?"

At Hogwarts, Harry successfully intercepted Raven in the kitchen during midnight snack time and couldn't wait to ask the question that had been bothering him all day.
