Hogwarts: I inherited my legacy

Having said that, even if a new breakthrough is found, it is not easy to create a new model of dragon...horcrux radar.

Even if we can't treat Peter Pettigrew with the same sincerity as before,

Then at least I have to meet with Professor Horace Slughorn and get some samples needed for research.

Don't think too much about it, I just need some hair.

Although for this old professor who has been bald for many years, hair is a very precious thing.

But for the safety of the students, he must be willing to make some sacrifices when necessary.

It's just that it's not the right time yet. As for the reason... it's simple because today is Saturday, a day off.

Until lunch time on Monday afternoon,

Raven finally succeeded in "capturing" Professor Horace Slughorn, who had just finished teaching Potions class to the fifth-year Gryffindors and Slytherins.

At this moment, Harry was standing next to him, and the old professor's face showed undisguised satisfaction and pride.

Although his old colleague Professor McGonagall had already revealed to him that Harry had been acting as Potions' substitute professor while Snape was out searching,

But he didn't have much deep understanding of it at that time.

After all, the job of substitute teaching is not too difficult.

Even those who know nothing about potions can still explain them clearly as long as they have prepared lesson plans.

The practical part was even easier. Snape could let Harry master several potion brewing methods that were currently being taught before leaving.

In this way, although there are some tricks, it can be regarded as a qualified temporary solution.

But after a whole morning of class verification, Slughorn changed his original view.

He was surprised to find that Harry actually understood all the potions knowledge he had learned in the past seven years!

He has personally tested it, and there is no doubt about his level.

Throughout the whole process of asking Harry questions, the new headmaster of Slytherin House had to add points to Gryffindor again and again - a full 40 points!

This astonishing number fully proves Harry's proficiency in Potions.

You know, as Harry's teacher (a teacher in the sense of inheritance rather than a professor), Snape has never given Gryffindor so many points.

This move surprised the little lions, and they even began to doubt their previous views on Umbridge. It seems that Umbridge is not doing bad things?

As for Professor Slughorn himself, he didn't think there was anything wrong with doing so.

Although deep down I still regret that this talented child failed to enter Slytherin House,

But just like with Lily, this is not just his student, but also his own child.

So he only felt proud at the moment, feeling that his grandson had lived up to his pride in his talent.

After two days of contact and interaction over the weekend, Harry gradually accepted and identified with this sudden "grandfather" professor.

In addition to occasional minor flaws such as poor memory and difficulty remembering the names of mediocre students, Professor Slughorn has

Overall very affable and likeable in dealing with people.

He doesn't have the strong blood prejudice that is common in Slytherin, nor is he like Snape... ahem,

In short, the flaws do not hide the virtues.

......

"Good morning, Harry, and Slughorn..."

Raven had a smile on her face and was about to say hello to the two people who came out of the corner.

However, before he finished speaking, he witnessed a surprising scene - Slughorn seemed to be suddenly frightened,

His body shook violently, and he quickly retracted his right foot that he had just stepped out. He tightly grasped Harry's sleeve and retracted his body.

......

Harry was obviously very confused by Slughorn's actions, but he still tried his best to steady himself so as not to fall to the ground. After regaining his balance, he spoke

"Professor...Professor, it seemed that Raven was greeting us just now, and senior Pappy Sweeting was also there..."

After hearing Harry's words, Slughorn seemed to come back to his senses. He patted his chest and sighed with lingering fear.

"Oh, it turns out that is the legendary Mr. Weasley. It's really... scary enough."

He was telling the truth. The moment he saw Raven and Pappy, a kind but horrifying feeling hit his mind.

It's like you were secretly playing with your phone while doing homework, and when you looked up you found your mother looking at you.

The kiss was a real kiss, and the fear was also real fear. Nervousness and fear were intertwined, making him react like that involuntarily.

After hearing Harry's description, Professor Slughorn felt relieved and immediately understood the whole story.

If that child is really the heir of the ancient demon king, then everything can be explained - such as why he has an inexplicable affinity for the little wizard. As the heir of the ancient demon king, he must be extremely talented. ,

And the fear that is deeply rooted in my heart may just be because I am too afraid of this terrifying shadow that existed in my childhood.

Slughorn took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and quickly adjusted his mentality.

He secretly told himself that at this moment he must appear as a highly respected professor in front of the man who was already known as the rising star of the magic world.

After all, being able to teach such a student with extraordinary talent will definitely cause an uproar in the future!

Slughorn couldn't help but feel his heart surge as he imagined the envious looks and compliments from others.

However, at this moment, he suddenly thought of the little girl standing next to Mr. Weasley just now.

There was also an indescribable sense of intimacy in my heart.

But, as for her name... just to be on the safe side, Slughorn decided to ask Harry for confirmation again.

"By the way, Harry, what's the name of the little witch next to Weasley? I didn't seem to hear it clearly just now."

"Oh, she is Raven's girlfriend, Pappy Sweeting, a sixth-year Hufflepuff student."

"Oh...Poppy Sweeting~"

Professor Slughorn silently retracted his right foot that he just extended, as if that foot weighed a thousand pounds.

At this moment, his heart was surging like a stormy sea, and countless thoughts and conjectures came to his mind like a tide.

These speculations and possibilities were intertwined like mysteries, leaving him confused and confused.

However, no matter which result it ultimately points to, it seems to indicate that he has just inadvertently glimpsed an unknown secret - the kind of secret that only a wizard like him who has experienced a long time, has wide contacts and is famous can know.

This discovery made Professor Slughorn's heart beat faster, and a thin layer of sweat even broke out on his forehead.

He couldn't help but start to recall all the details of what had just happened,

At this moment, Professor Slughorn realized that he had been involved in a whirlpool full of unknowns and dangers.

For a moment, only three words crossed his mind.

【Too old...】
