The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts
Chapter 625: Slug Club
Shabini was kicked out of the venue.
Ernie and Harry do it themselves.
The two of them are very enthusiastic about this matter.
During the period, he also sneered at Shabini again, causing Shabini's pale face to become even whiter.
This is extremely difficult to appear on Shabini's dark face.
With Shabini's departure, the atmosphere in the classroom also returned to its original jubilant appearance.
Slughorn came to Link himself and said apologetically:
"Sorry, Link, I didn't expect Shabini to do such a thing."
"It's not your fault, Professor Slughorn, there are so many guests present that you can't tell the heart of each of them." Emily said with a smile, "and it was Shabini himself. Death, no one can blame you for this mistake."
Hearing that, Link also smiled and nodded in agreement.
This brought the smile back to Slughorn's face.
He looked at the radiant Emily and nodded with satisfaction.
After so long in school, he has already taught Link and Emily.
Both of them showed great talent in potions.
But this is normal for Link.
Even if Link's pharmaceutical level has reached the level of a quasi-master, after comparing Link's other major achievements, his level in potions seems a little ordinary, and it can even be said that it is logical.
Rather, Slughorn would be surprised if Link wasn't good at Potions.
It was Emily who really surprised Slughorn.
He originally thought that Emily was just a vassal of Link.
But Emily's potion level is already comparable to Link's, and even spells and other aspects are not ordinary.
There is no doubt that Emily is also a genius.
It's a pity that Link's brilliance is too dazzling.
Standing beside this shining sun, the light that should have been shining on Emily was naturally obscured.
"Come on!" Slughorn seemed to be in a very good mood. He took a glass of wine from the tray that flew by itself, "I'll give you a toast!"
"We should respect you."
Link said with a smile, and took a glass of wine with Emily.
"Also, and me..."
At some point, Hermione raised a glass of wine and came to the side, speaking weakly to Link and Slughorn.
Not only her, but Harry, Neville, and Ernie also gathered.
"Ha! Link, you should really see Shabini's face when we kicked it out of the classroom, it's really wonderful!"
Ernie said excitedly, his personality is actually not the same as ordinary Hufflepuffs, and he is very keen to do this kind of early things.
But compared to Harry, Ernie is still a head off.
At this time, Harry was already shaking his head with excitement and was speechless.
"That's what he deserves!"
Neville also raised his glass and said, "Shabini, this guy is really stupid and bad!"
Hearing what they said, Link was also happy and said:
"It's normal! His name is Shabini. How can he be worthy of his name if he doesn't do anything about Shabi?"
After saying that, Link laughed.
A look of confusion appeared on the faces of Harry and Neville.
They couldn't understand the point of laughter in what Link said just now.
Only Emily was laughing with Link at the scene.
But this is not a mere endorsement.
In fact, Emily has been with Link for too long.
When she grew up, she even formed a spiritual resonance with Link.
Under the influence of this resonance, although she couldn't understand Link's laughter, it didn't prevent her from laughing out loud because she felt Link's joy.
Amidst the laughter, several people clink glasses together!
Link, Emily, and Slughorn all acted very restrained, and were only scratching their heads.
As a wizard, it's better not to touch too much alcohol, which will dull their spiritual power and magic power.
What's more, at a party like this, you still have to have the grace you should have.
But Hermione and Harry didn't care about this, they sipped the red wine in their glasses without hesitation.
Hermione bowed slightly to Link and Emily again to express her gratitude.
She went down with a glass of red wine, and a faint blush appeared on her face.
I don't know if it was the effect of alcohol or something else.
As for Harry and Ernie, they looked at the crystal wine tower on the long table in the center of the classroom, eager to try.
If Hermione's toast is just to express her gratitude to Link, the three of them are pure wine mummies.
For things like wine, they are full of curiosity.
Now that they have the opportunity to drink it openly, how could they miss it?
It's a pity that Slughorn obviously won't get used to them.
Just as they were about to go get another drink, Slughorn exclaimed:
"Okay, now that everyone has arrived, it's time for me to announce something serious. The reason why I invite you to come today..."
"Professor Slughorn, are you really sure that everyone has arrived?"
Link interrupted.
"Uh, of course, I don't remember that I invited anyone else."
Slughorn said suspiciously.
Link looked at the closed classroom door and said:
"Not really? We seem to have a new guest."
"New guest?"
Slughorn frowned and repeated.
And as soon as he finished speaking, Snape pushed open the door of the classroom and walked in.
"Severus? It's you!" Slughorn said with a grin, "Are you coming to our party too? That's great!"

"Yes, excuse me, Professor Slughorn." Snape bowed respectfully to Slughorn, "I saw Shabini on the road, what happened to him?"
Hearing this, Slughorn's smile stiffened.
He roughly told Snape what happened just now.
Then he emphasized:
"The reason why he was kicked out is entirely Shabini's own fault, and he can't blame anyone. You should know that, Severus!"
No way to say that.
As the former Slytherin headmaster, Slughorn really knew the Slytherin ethos too well.
Slytherin is proud and united.
Even the dean with Slytherin is accustomed to favoring his own people.
Simply put, it is to protect the calf!
And it's pretty extreme.
Slughorn couldn't guarantee that Snape would help Shabini.
If Snape did that, then his party would be ruined!
However, to Slughorn's surprise, Snape just nodded slightly and said:
"He took it upon himself."
Slughorn looked at Snape in amazement.
Harry and Ernie also looked like they had seen a ghost.
Because they suddenly discovered that today's Snape actually washed his hair? !
This made Snape feel a lot less greasy, and the whole person looked much fresher.
In addition, Snape has not yet favored Shabini, and Harry's disgust for Snape has softened a lot, which has become even weaker.
He even gave Snape a sincere smile.
Snape's gaze also happened to fall on Harry.
Looking at Harry's smiling face with a smile in his eyes, Snape was slightly moved, but in the end he turned his head nonchalantly.
"It's best if you can think like this!"
Slughorn finally reacted, and said happily to the crowd, "Then now, since everyone has really arrived, I should continue to speak.
Today, the reason why I want to hold this party and invite you to come is actually for a purpose.
I want to invite you to join my club! "
"Club?" Harry asked suspiciously, "What club is that?"
Harry's voice was quiet, but Slughorn could still hear it clearly.
He looked at Harry a little embarrassedly, not knowing how to explain.
After all, according to what he originally thought, although his club cannot be said to be a household name, it should be a famous existence, and there is no need to explain too much.
In the end, he really met a young man like Harry who didn't even know about his club.
Now he's a Muggle.
If he really wanted to explain it himself, it would be self-promotion and boasting, it would be too cheap!
Just when Slughorn was at a loss, Ernie pulled Harry sharply, lowered his voice and said:
"Don't you even know this? This is Professor Slughorn's slug club!"
"Slug... Club?"
"That's right, that's the name! But don't look at the name, it may be a little unpleasant, but the people in this club are all outstanding people from all walks of life, so there is no one who is not famous! For example, the owner of Duke Bee candy shop and Editor-in-Chief of the Daily Prophet! It is an absolute honor to join this club!
Moreover, the purpose of this club is to help each other! This means that once we become part of the slug club, we gain the friendship of those bigwigs! No matter what difficulties we encounter in the future, we can get their help! "
Harry suddenly realized.
He now understands that the so-called Slug Club is actually a small interest exchange organization.
Every member in it has outstanding ability and status in their respective fields.
They hug each other, gather in this club, use Slughorn as a medium to communicate with others, and hook up with each other to grab greater benefits.
It has to be said that the existence of this club is very much in line with Slughorn's snobbish image.
And most importantly, although Harry looked down on Slughorn, he also had to admit that the benefits of joining the Slug Club were great.
Think about it, how much benefit will this thing bring if it really happens?
At least the next time they go to Duke Bee Candy Store, as long as they report their membership of the Slug Club, they should be able to get a discount or even a free order, right?
There are also employment problems, work problems, etc., almost all of them can get help in this club!
Just thinking about it made Harry a little moved.
Ernie and the other students flushed with excitement.
Slughorn also laughed happily.
He gave Ernie an admiring look, and was very satisfied with Ernie's timely rescue.
Although Ernie still didn't say everything about some things.
As the founder of the Slug Club, it is actually quite difficult for him to maintain this club for a long time.
Slughorn not only needs to keep in touch with each member from time to time, but also carefully observe the difficulties they encounter, help them connect with other members who can solve the problem, and make connections.
Of course, the most important point is that he is not greedy.
That's right, although others think he is snobbish, he is really not greedy.
As the founder of the Slug Club, he instinctively uses his connections to grab greater benefits.
But he didn't do that.
Even his job of running the Slug Club is unpaid.
He will not ask for any substantial material rewards from the members. Even if the members who are helped take the initiative to give them, he will only accept some material gifts of small value, and reject those items that are obviously too valuable.
In a sense, he just enjoys the feeling of being a teacher, being aloof and gaining favor.
Taking a deep breath, Slughorn patted Snape on the shoulder and said:
"Forgot to mention, your Professor Snape is also a member of the club. Although he wasn't very gregarious at that time, it's just that he didn't come to parties often."
Hearing Slughorn say this, the Slytherin students were even more excited.
They absolutely adore Snape, the dean!
And now, they can actually join the same organization as their dean!
This is a good thing that can only happen in a dream!
So, the next thing is much simpler.
With Snape's endorsement, everyone present officially joined the Slug Club.
Even Link and Emily are no exception.
And this also brought the atmosphere of the entire venue to its climax.
The excited crowd gathered and danced happily around the long table covered with white cloth in the center, guided by the rhythm of the music.
And watching this scene, Slughorn's face also burst into an emotional smile.
To be honest, since he retired from Hogwarts, the new members have not been replenished, and the old members have been leaving for various reasons. The Slug Club has virtually declined.
And now, the dry blood vessels of the Slug Club have finally ushered in a batch of new blood!
The key is that this batch of new blood also includes these two blockbusters, Link Foley and Harry Potter!
With their participation, it is foreseeable that the Slug Club will once again become the most shining existence in the entire magic world!
"Professor Slughorn."
A familiar voice suddenly remembered that Slughorn, who was awakened, turned his head and saw that Harry was looking at him with a tangled face.
"What's the matter? Harry, why don't you go dance with them?"
Slughorn asked kindly.
Hearing this, Harry also seemed to summon up his courage and asked tentatively:
"Professor, you said that my mother was also taught by you, so was she also a member of the slug club in the past?"
"Of course, there's no doubt about it. Lily's talent is definitely the second best I've ever seen in my life, and a talent like her is naturally a member of the slug club! By the way, the first one is Link. , his talent is beyond my comprehension!"
"Oh, I see."
Harry was a little noncommittal about Slughorn's last compliment about Link, and after a slightly perfunctory response, he took another deep breath and continued, "Then, can you tell me more about my mother? The story? You know, I'd love to know more about her..."
Seemingly remembering Harry's tragic experience, Slughorn fell into a trance for a moment.
He reached out and touched Harry's head, and said with some pity:
"Poor child, your mother Lily, she's really talented... Oh, sorry, I've said this too many times, you're probably tired of hearing it? But please understand, after all she gave I am so impressed!
She is lively and smart, with a little bit of playfulness in her beauty. The most important point is that she is not like the average Gryffindor troublemaker. Although she can make mistakes, she is smart enough to know how to make up for her mistakes.
I also had her put a slippery spell on the floor in front of my office once.
That magic is so good that it doesn't even look like a student can cast it!
This directly caused me not to notice when I passed by, and I fell directly.
I was **** and swore to put that mischievous **** in confinement for a whole year.
But guess what?
The next moment Lily appeared.
She admitted her mistake very simply, and then gave me a big cake, saying that today is my birthday, and all this is to wish me a happy birthday!
But the problem is, I clearly remember my birthday, not on that day! "
"So what happened later?" Harry was a little fascinated, and UU Reading www.uukanshu.com asked, "You put her in confinement for a year?"
"Of course not! Although I was really angry at the time, she was so cute! And she did it out of kindness, so I forgave her." Slughorn gave Harry a shocked look, "Could it be Am I that kind of person in your heart?"
When Harry was told, he waved his hands again and again, panicking.
Slughorn smiled slyly and continued:
"Although it wasn't my birthday that day, I still ate cake with her and sang the birthday song. Well, we had a great time that day.
But in fact, I know very well that your mother didn't remember my birthday wrong at all. The reason why she played a prank on me was because I punished your father to clean the prize showroom before.
Even that cake, she bought it because she liked it.
do you know?
Most of the birthday cake that was given to me in name was actually eaten by your mother.
Well, she can eat very well, but she never gets fat, which is very strange! "
Speaking, Slughorn winked mischievously at Harry.
Harry was also amused by him, he laughed and said:
"It turns out that my parents have been together so long ago, their relationship is really good!"
"Yes, their relationship is really good, and this is what I have never been able to understand." Slughorn sighed, "In my opinion, she should marry and have children with Severus. of."
As soon as these words came out, Harry's laughter stopped abruptly, and he looked at Slughorn in disbelief. chaptere
