Harry Potter and the Old Ones

Chapter 517: Slughorn who was sold and counted the mo

"By the way, I remember the previous news reports that the little wizard Tierra will continue to study at Hogwarts, right?" Slughorn asked expectantly and excitedly.

After listening to Slughorn's question, Dumbledore understood what Slughorn was thinking—

Horace Slughorn is a kind, loyal, somewhat timid and overly snobby gentleman.

He was born in an old wizarding family, the only child in the family, and his wealthy parents spoiled him quite a bit, so unlike other pure-blood wizards born in the holy twenty-eight families, Horace Slughorn had a high regard for pure blood wizards. Bloodlines are not paranoid, but they like to bask in the glory of the elite and the famous.

Since he was a child, he has been a boy who likes to have relationships with celebrities. When he was a student, he often called the then Minister of Magic in a seemingly affectionate tone, and over exaggerated the closeness between the two families.

Like Snape, he had an extraordinary talent in potions and spiritual magic.

But unlike Snape, these two talents of Horace Slughorn can only be called "outstanding", which does not make him called "genius".

That's probably why Slughorn stayed at Hogwarts as a professor—

Slughorn was a very clever man, and he soon realized that it was difficult to make a name for himself in the wizarding world with his talent.

But if he enters Hogwarts as a teacher, he may be able to rely on his talents to become a life mentor for generations of elites, celebrities, and the favored ones.

He likes all talented, capable, famous, and pushy students, so unlike other deans of Slytherin House, Slughorn still maintains the good-natured and easy-going personality of his student days .

This also makes Slughorn the most tempered head of Slytherin House in history. He will never randomly deduct points from other houses in order to favor his own house, and even take the initiative to care about the students of other houses.

But again, one of the most maligned aspects of Slughorn's teaching career was the stark dichotomy between those who he liked or who he thought had a bright future, and those who he thought had a bleak or promising future. Students who do nothing.

The "Slughorn Club" would invite the students he had screened for dinner and socializing in their spare time, but did not care about the feelings of those who were not invited.

Therefore, a talented, famous, and powerful student is as attractive as sweet wine to Slughorn, not to mention Tierra, the little wizard who made a big splash a week ago—

Tierra's experience is legendary, and his strength is the same, even if he can't write such a person.

Tierra's attraction to Horace Slughorn is unquestionable. He is like the only Philosopher's Stone in the world. For Slughorn, he is not only the jewel in his crown, but the Slughorn's famous elixir.

The temptation was so great that Slughorn, a smart and cautious old fox, ignored the unusual and weird things about Tierra, and even completely forgot the trouble he had caused himself by such a gifted student .

Horace Slughorn, an old wizard of the same era as Dumbledore, was extremely eager to "collect" Tierra.

"Yes, although I don't know why, our little Tierra attaches great importance to his degree. Although he has completely mastered the knowledge of magic far beyond a normal Hogwarts graduate, he still insists on studying at Hogwarts. Woz will go through a normal graduation ceremony after seven years of school." Dumbledore said with a smile, "One sixth grade, one seventh grade, I think with Tierra's strength, the entire seventh grade will probably not go anywhere else Internship, so it's all over... two more years."

"If you really want to return to Hogwarts to teach, of course we welcome it." Dumbledore said with a warm smile on his face, "Of course we welcome senior professors like you to return to Hogwarts to teach. "

"Really?" said Slughorn, overjoyed. "Oh my God, that's great, I don't know how to thank you, Dumbledore, you know, I've really had enough of retiring The rest of the life, and the chattering, annoying Death Eaters like flies..."

Slughorn clasped Dumbledore's hand and shook it vigorously, while putting on a pitiful look and complaining—

This is undoubtedly the best news for him.

Apart from the factor of wanting to "collect" Tierra, since the "rumors" of Voldemort's resurrection broke out in the summer of 1994, Slughorn has not lived a day in Ontario.

Three days after Tierra's funeral, Voldemort's Death Eater, Yaxley, visited Horace Slughorn's cabin under cover of night, in an apparent attempt to recruit him or force him to meet him. Voldemort.

Although Slughorn had become more lumbering and sluggish in the years since his retirement, his reflexes were still surprisingly quick.

Before the Death Eater Yaxley broke into the hut, which was heavily protected by Slughorn, Slughorn transformed into a sofa and managed to fool Yaxley.

As soon as Yaxley left, Slughorn packed his essentials, locked the house, and fled.

Slughorn had moved from house to house over the past year, usually taking up residence when the Muggle owners were away.

He dared not stay at a friend's house because of the risk of betrayal, whether voluntary or forced.

Life was bad enough, but not knowing what Voldemort wanted from him made it even more unbearable.

He felt that the most likely reason was that the old student just wanted to recruit him into his army.

Yet for whatever reason it pales in comparison to the power Voldemort possessed in the past.

At the height of the dark forces, Slughorn also doubted whether Voldemort wanted his life, lest he reveal the reason why Voldemort kept his life.

But more than a week ago, the chaos in the Ministry of Magic had given Slughorn a light.

Not only the dawn of being able to collect such a "Magic Stone"~lightnovelpub.net~, but also the dawn of being able to get rid of the turbulent life.

"Then it's settled." Seeming to be a little impatient with Slughorn's nagging complaints, Dumbledore patted Slughorn's shoulder vigorously and said, "I'll introduce Tiera to you later. To get to know you two, we are old acquaintances, and there is no need for such a formal letter of appointment, just move back to Hogwarts immediately after the inauguration ceremony, I will give you the office of Professor Melego, you Don’t you always think the room you used to be small, crowded and damp?”

 …

At the same time, Tierra, who was sitting on the central throne in the "Heaven" dimension, suddenly received a message—

"Hurry up, hurry up!" This message came from Dumbledore, he did not know how to find Tierra through Phoenix Fox, and passed his spiritual power projection to Tierra, " Come to the inauguration now, I have found a Potions professor for your University of Magic."
