Harry Potter: Badger’s Flathead
Page 336
As a result, he buried this memory under the deep guilt and guilt of being an accomplice, but it was this memory that provided Dumbledore with many clues to find the Horcruxes.
Otherwise, the world is so big, even if he has a tracker, without knowing the approximate area, it is still like looking for a needle in a haystack!
“Can’t we just use divination?” Ivan was very curious. Why go through so much trouble? Can’t we use divination to find the location?
“No! I have tried it a long time ago. Voldemort is very careful. He has used magic to cover up the possibility of the Horcrux being divined. Without the corresponding clues, it will be difficult for us to find it.”
Dumbledore shook his head. He had tried it before but it was of no use. He could only use the dumbest method!
And he wanted to hurry up now, he had a feeling that Voldemort would make a big move soon!
“Okay, I’ll try my best.” Alvin agreed.
If he were given a choice, he would choose to find all the Horcruxes quickly so that he could kill Voldemort later, rather than waiting for Harry to find them bit by bit.
Even if he used the Shadow Troops to look for it, it would still be like looking for a needle in a haystack! Plus, Voldemort was deliberately hiding it, making it even more difficult to find it!
It’s not that he summoned the Shadow Army without losses, just less, but not nothing! He couldn’t make soldiers spread all over the world. He was not a god, so he couldn’t do such an exaggerated thing!
It would be a better choice to narrow your search scope!
……
“Sorry, I’m a little late!”
Ivan walked into the room carefully prepared by Slughorn in a formal suit. This was also his teacher’s dormitory, but it was bigger than that of other teachers.
“It’s okay, we just started a while ago, it’s not too late!” Slughorn stood up and welcomed him enthusiastically.
If there was anyone in Hogwarts that he cared about the most besides Harry, it would be Ivan!
The youngest recipient of the First Class Medal of the Order of Merlin, a genius who solved the problem of duds, the creator of magic crystals, he has been showered with honors at such a young age!
This was a huge temptation for Horace, who liked to make friends with talented people! Unfortunately, he missed the time of being Professor Irving, and now he could hardly catch up with Irving. It was a rare honor to be invited by him, and he was so happy!
“Evan, come and sit here, there’s a seat.” Harry raised his hand and beckoned Evan to sit next to him. Similarly, this place was a good place for him to look Slughorn in the face.
“Child, give me one portion… um~ Buddha Jumps Over the Wall! Yes, that’s what it’s called. I always forget it when I get older, but it was carefully prepared by the elves. I heard that this is the recipe you brought to Hogwarts. It’s amazing!”
After two months of adaptation, Slughorn did not completely accept Chinese food, but he accepted a lot of it. However, he still prefers sweet food, and the saltiness is still a little lacking.
But when he was choosing dishes for tonight, the top-notch dish recommended by the elf still captured him!
There is no other reason, this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is so fresh, even if it is not as sweet as cream cake, it is still delicious! Although the ingredients are a bit expensive, it is really worth it!
The children all ate with relish, because this was something they couldn’t normally get. Slughorn got the opportunity to be served specially because he had a close relationship with the head elf chef in the kitchen. Otherwise, no one could get to eat it!
“Oh my! A can of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for each person. Professor Slughorn is really generous! It’s an honor to be able to attend your dinner.”
When Alvin saw the main dish, he was a little stunned. He didn’t expect that the old man was so knowledgeable. He was not used to Chinese food yet, but he could order such a great dish. He couldn’t help but be polite.
“Of course, I’m very happy to use it to entertain excellent children like you!” Slughorn’s old face was full of smiles when he heard Ivan’s evaluation.
Because this made him feel that he still had a chance to establish a good relationship with Alvin, and maybe he would be able to put Alvin’s photo on his shelf in the future!
There are people from all four colleges here tonight, but there is only one Hufflepuff, Evan. The other little badgers are basically playing badly, and there are very few students who show special shining points. Evan is the only weirdo who can’t hide even if he wants to!
However, the proportion of Slytherins is higher, not because those people are so outstanding, but because they have a strong background!
Everyone ate and chatted as they usually did at dinner, with Slughorn mainly asking everyone about their family situations and studies, and just chatting about the usual family matters.
But it was a little awkward when it came to Hermione’s turn. When Hermione said that her family ran a dentist’s business, most people were obviously shocked. They didn’t quite understand. Do Muggles need specialized doctors even for their teeth?
Because in the wizarding world, if you have cavities or other problems with your teeth, you can just drink a sip of a special potion. And this is for wizards who are particularly lazy or don’t even know how to cast a cleansing spell.
As for the daily problem of brushing teeth, after mastering the cleansing spell, one doesn’t even need a wand to do it, so this indescribably simple problem is really difficult for them to understand.
“Ahem~ Don’t be too shocked. The Muggle world is different from ours. They don’t have magic that allows them to have whatever they want, so they have to have a separate way to deal with all the trivial matters needed for survival. Do you understand what I mean?”
Seeing this, Alvin coughed lightly, attracted everyone’s attention, and explained.
“Oh~ So that’s it!”
Belby quickly swallowed his mouthful of food and agreed, “To be honest!” He actually didn’t quite understand it, after all, he was just thinking out of habit, but he had to give Ivan some face!
The same goes for other people. Whether they understand it or not, they give it face!
This scene made Slughorn look at Ivan again. As an experienced man, he could certainly see through the minds of these children. It seemed that the influence of this classmate Margrave was not simple!
This made him even more determined to do his best to put Ivan’s photo on his gifted student shelf!
“Sorry, I’m so late!”
When everyone had almost finished eating, Ginny came in, but she was not in the right state! Her eyes were red, and it was obvious that she had just cried.
“Look at her eyes, he must have had a fight with Dean again!” Hermione said in a low voice with her head down.
She needed to know more about Ginny’s love affair.
Seeing Ginny like this, Harry couldn’t help but stand up. He wanted to say something, but the words were stuck in his throat and he didn’t know how to say it.
What’s wrong with him? He must be upset because his brother’s sister was wronged, and he is one of his relatives and friends! Yes, it must be like this!
“Harry, what’s wrong with you?” Hermione asked curiously.
“Nothing.” After seeing Ginny sit down, Harry also sat back, but he would occasionally glance at Ginny’s red eyes from crying.
“Harry, maybe you should talk to Ron.” Ivan whispered to Harry.
“I think so.” Harry nodded in agreement with Ivan.
He thought that given Ron’s current condition, he would probably really embed Dean on the wall of the Gryffindor dormitory!
That guy is incredibly strong now. He is also considering whether he should spare some time to work out with them. Now he is the only one without abdominal muscles!
Time passed quickly. After enjoying Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and desserts, Slughorn chatted with everyone about some issues such as their future development, and the dinner was over.
Slughorn called the elves to collect the tableware and sent all the students away, but he didn’t notice that there were still two young men left in the room.
Hermione and Ginny were a little puzzled as to why Ivan and Harry were missing, but they didn’t think much about it. They wouldn’t get lost in Hogwarts anyway, so they went back to the dormitory first.
Slughorn closed the door and turned around, and was frightened by Harry standing there!
I’m old, I can’t stand being scared anymore~
“Potter?”
“Sorry, Professor, I was just admiring your hourglass.” Harry pointed to the strangely shaped hourglass on the table.
“Oh, it’s okay, kid! It’s indeed a very interesting little thing.” Slughorn didn’t care. He also hoped to spend more time with Harry.
“Sorry, I think I should leave!”
“It’s okay, you don’t have to worry about anything kid, you’re different from your classmates, they won’t put up with me.”
Slughorn chuckled and comforted Harry. He didn’t want to make this unique child worry too much.
“Shelf?” Harry was a little curious. What was this shelf?
“In my Slug Club, ambitious students all want to be on that shelf.” Slughorn’s face was full of pride when he mentioned this.
“Is this what you are talking about, professor?” Ivan’s voice came from inside. He didn’t leave and was right in front of the shelf.
Ivan stayed here to get information about memory from Slughorn, just like Harry, but he planned to use more direct means!
“Ah, Alvin, you’re here too!” Slughorn was a little surprised.
“I’m sorry, Professor. I just noticed this place and came to take a look. Please forgive my rudeness!”
Slughorn waved his hand, totally unconcerned.
“It’s okay. I’m happy to introduce you to my most outstanding students.”
PS: Woohoo~ Let me take a break and arrange the things at hand. I don’t have enough time now. This chapter is all based on the information, but don’t worry, I will change it immediately! I will set aside time to think about it later! Next, I will move on to the ending! By the way, do you like this two-in-one long chapter of 4,000 words, or two chapters with separate titles? (To be honest, I like one! Because the title is not easy to think of, this way can save a brain cell to think of the title! (?ω?)hahahaha~)
Chapter 475: Changes in Horcruxes
“In my club, aspiring students all want this shelf, because I am very realistic. Only people with both talent and fame can be put up there by me.”
Slughorn didn’t think there was anything wrong with that, he was a Slytherin! What’s wrong with being more value-conscious?
“Of course, a soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier! It’s understandable.” Alvin also agreed with this point.
“Of course, now you are already famous figures in different fields~right, Ivan, Harry!”
Slughorn had an appreciative smile on his face, as if Harry and Ivan’s fame could also be linked to him.
To be honest, all he did was for fame. He is a very vain person!
“Did Voldemort ever climb this shelf, Professor?”
Harry suddenly blurted out, instantly freezing the smile on Slughorn’s face.
Ivan also stared at Slughorn, with a faint purple light flickering in his eyes. He was too lazy to say anything, he just wanted to find it himself!
“You taught Tom Riddle, didn’t you Professor! What was he like at school? Sorry Professor, forgive me for asking, but he killed my parents, so I guess…”
Harry didn’t continue.
The expression on Slughorn’s face remained frozen. Obviously, mentioning that guy again made him feel a little uneasy.
“Of course, I know you want to know more, which is understandable! But I’m afraid I have to disappoint you. Riddle has always been a good student in school, no different from my other students!
He was just like you now. If you say he was a devil, then I can only say! He hid it too deeply and deceived everyone! “
Slughorn looked helpless and looked at Harry apologetically.
“I understand, Professor. Sorry for bringing up such an unhappy topic.” Seeing that there was no progress, Harry was not in a hurry and decided to stop while he was ahead.
“It’s okay, I understand you, kid.” Slughorn chuckled, as if he didn’t take it to heart. He could understand Harry, but there were some things he couldn’t face.
“Goodbye, professor. I think I should take some time to attend your class!” When leaving with Harry, Ivan suddenly brought up the matter of attending class.
This made Slughorn very happy, it was exactly what he wanted!
Neither Ivan nor Harry spoke on the way back to the dormitory. Ivan had just tried, and Slughorn’s memory was a mess, it was not the original version at all!
What he didn’t understand was why Slughorn did this! He seemed to be afraid of something, or perhaps he was avoiding something!
Forget it, hurry up! He will definitely get it today. As long as he knows that key information, he can narrow the scope and let the Shadow Army find Voldemort’s Horcrux as quickly as possible!
……
In the dormitory, Alvin did not choose to sleep and rest, but changed his clothes and got ready!
Aragog is dead, and the Acromantula’s bond with Hogwarts is gone, so…
