Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1203: News from Slughorn
Chapter 1205 News from Slughorn
After Dumbledore finished tonight's lesson, Harry couldn't help but ask, "Sir, do you want me to find Voldemort's Horcrux?"
"If necessary, I will take you to find Voldemort's Horcrux, but not Harry now." Dumbledore reached out and pushed gently, closing the cabinet where the Pensieve was placed, "I wish you could Knowing Voldemort from these memories, and knowing our enemy better, will be able to find a way to deal with him."
"Honestly, I don't know what Voldemort's weakness is, if it's ugly?" Harry noticed Dumbledore's slightly raised eyebrows and quickly added, "I was just joking, sir."
"What do you think Voldemort's weakness is?" Dumbledore asked with a smile.
"Voldemort is very afraid of death, and very arrogant. Oh, yes, he also likes to collect things, seems to be very stubborn, always wants to kill me himself, if he let the Death Eaters do it, I may Dead early?"
"Harry, you actually know Voldemort well." Dumbledore nodded in satisfaction.
"But I don't think it's useful to know about this." Harry was a little depressed and changed the subject, "By the way, sir, how many Horcruxes have you found?"
"There are several, but I'm afraid I'll have to sell the matter first. We now need to get some of Professor Slughorn's memory to determine the number of Horcruxes." Dumbledore raised his head and looked at Ha Leigh, said seriously: "You have to work harder Harry, I am sure you will succeed."
"I've been trying to use Fluoxin to try my luck with Professor Slughorn, but it didn't go well." Harry was a little depressed when he talked about this, even taking Fluoxin It didn't work out, making Harry realize how difficult it was.
"The Flux is really a rare good thing for most people, but you need to know how to use it. As far as I know, Mr. Anderson is very good at using Flux." Dumbledore Zhao Ha Lee blinked and said, "Maybe, you can take the time to chat with him about the experience of using Flux, I remember that Miss Granger has a way to contact him."
"Albert also knows about Horcruxes, so why not ask him for help?" Harry asked his doubts again.
"Mr. Anderson has always been helping, I found a Horcrux with his help a while ago," Dumbledore said gently.
"Actually, I think that I can rely on Mr. Anderson's divination, and maybe I can quickly find the whereabouts of all the Horcruxes." Harry always felt that Dumbledore and Albert, working together, could definitely easily crush Voldemort.
"Divination is not a panacea, Harry." Dumbledore shook his head, "In fact, most of the divinations in the Hall of Prophecy did not come true."
"Albert's prophecy came true."
"Harry, you take prophecy too seriously." Dumbledore sighed softly and asked, "Do you want to defeat Voldemort because you are the so-called savior?"
"May..."
"If Voldemort didn't kill your father and force your mother to die for you, would you want to kill him and avenge your family?" Dumbledore looked at Harry and asked, "Obviously not. Yes, right."
"So, I have to find a way to kill Voldemort, entirely for myself, not because of that **** prophecy," Harry muttered.
"Must? No, Harry, you have the right to choose your own path and to ignore that prophecy!"
"But Voldemort will continue to hunt me down..."
"Of course, you can also choose to hide..."
"I won't hide." Harry shook his head.
"Voldemort's biggest mistake was to create his own worst enemy." Dumbledore looked at Harry and said, "He chose you to be his mortal enemy. If he doesn't believe in prophecy, Trelaww Professor Ni's prophecy will obviously not come true."
"Maybe, I should give Albert the title of Savior." Harry laughed at himself. "To be honest, I always thought he was more of a Savior than me."
"I don't think Mr. Anderson would want such a title, he's actually a troublemaker." Dumbledore reached out and patted Harry on the shoulder, "Remember Harry, you're never alone. Fight, you have a lot of support behind you."
After returning to the common room, Harry didn't see Hermione, only Ron in the corner who was entangled with Lavender.
Harry greeted his roommate and asked directly, "Neville, did you see Hermione?"
"Hermione seems to have gone to discuss with Luna about the wizarding card game." Neville seemed to think of something and asked, "Harry, I heard Hermione say that the DA party won't be until after the Christmas holidays. Really?"
"It's true, I'm sorry Neville, I've been too busy recently." Harry said helplessly, "I really can't spare much time, the Quidditch team also needs to train to keep fit."
"It's okay Harry, I just wanted to ask Cedric if I could join the Defense Association."
"You want to join the Defense Association?" Harry was a little surprised, "I remember you have the same birthday as me, so you should be underage, and you have to stay in school next year?"
"Yeah, but the Wizarding War is definitely not over so soon, and I still hope I can help." Neville whispered, "Although I know I'm useless."
"I don't think they'll reject you," Harry reassured.
While talking, Harry saw Hermione returning to the lounge with Ginny, hurriedly ended the conversation with Neville, and walked towards them quickly.
"Hello Harry." Ginny greeted Harry with a smile, seemingly in a good mood.
"Hermione, I want to talk to you," Harry said directly.
"Oh, okay."
Hermione looked at Harry suspiciously, and under Ginny's curious gaze, left the noisy common room with Harry.
"What's the matter, Harry?"
Hermione and Harry entered the empty classroom and asked after casting a spell.
"I need news from Professor Slughorn, you know, Dumbledore has given me a special assignment, and I don't think it's possible to use ordinary methods." Harry said in a low voice, "I may Some special methods are needed to complete the task in conjunction with the Fuling agent, you know, the task is very important, I don't think it should be delayed for too long, and recently..."
"Who's where?"
"What!" Hermione looked stunned.
"Come out and show up quickly."
Harry suddenly raised his wand, pointed it outside the classroom, and used a spell to force him to appear.
"Sorry Harry, I..."
"You shouldn't have followed." Harry stared at Ginny with some dissatisfaction, "How much did you hear."
"Not much, I was discovered by you as soon as I arrived." Ginny looked at Hermione with a complicated look, "If you want news from Professor Slughorn, I can help you too."
"Okay Harry," said Hermione, "You didn't say much anyway."
"Albert is right, I was too careless." Harry looked at Ginny, sighed helplessly and reminded, "Stop doing that to Ginny, knowing too much is nothing to you. The benefits will not only kill yourself, but also the people around you.”
"Really?" Ginny's eyes widened, obviously in disbelief.
"Really, hearing these secrets, I'm afraid you'll have to stay at the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix until the end of the war before you can leave anywhere." Harry looked at Ginny and said seriously, "I really don't want to involve you, Voldemort. Those who know the secret will not be easily let go, he will silence them all."
"Sorry Harry." Ginny apologized quickly.
"Okay Harry, don't scare Ginny anymore." Hermione tried to calm the atmosphere and changed the subject, "If you want to get information from Professor Slughorn, I suggest you let him relax first. Be alert."
"If you want to get information from Professor Slughorn, I suggest you get him drunk, perhaps with a higher chance of success," suggested Ginny.
"Drunk?"
Harry ponders the feasibility of the plan.
"It's really easier to tell the news when you're drunk, and you have the euphoria, but the problem is that it's not easy, and Professor Slughorn must be on guard." Hermione also began to help Harry think about whether the plan feasible.
"Professor Slughorn is planning a Christmas ball soon."
"No, those messages are very important and should not be shared by others." Harry immediately shook his head and rejected, "It is absolutely important not to let others know."
But he pulled out his notes and quickly jot down Ginny's idea.
"However, getting drunk may work, but..." Harry asked Hermione sideways: "Do you know any potions that can make people drunk? And I need to talk to Professor Slughorn alone, and It is not easy to make the other party willing to take the initiative to disclose the information, because of the last relationship, Professor Slughorn began to be a little wary of me."
"Maybe, you need other topics to get into," Ginny suggested.
"Potion, I'm afraid this is not suitable, it will easily cause Professor Slughorn's defense." Harry shook his head and rejected, "I have to talk about me, and it is not easy to cause Professor Slughorn to be vigilant. Topic, find some other topics by the way, and Professor Slughorn has to let her guard down and drink a lot of alcohol unsuspectingly before she realizes we're trying to get him drunk."
There is no doubt that this is very difficult.
"Do you have a stimulant in there?" Harry turned to look at Hermione.
"I have it here!"
Ginny took out a bottle of potion from her robe pocket and handed it to Harry: "Fred and George secretly stuffed it to me last time, saying that using this review test content can greatly improve efficiency."
"Thank you."
Harry poured himself one, swallowed it, and began to run his brain frantically. He felt that he would soon find a way.
Indistinctly, Harry felt as if he had touched something, but he still couldn't think of it. In the end, Harry gritted his teeth and took out the precious Fuling from the deformed lizard skin bag Hagrid had given him, and gave himself one. small.
For a moment, Harry felt that his thoughts became extremely clear, and he even thought of a way to get Professor Slughorn.
"My mother has a good relationship with Professor Slughorn." After Harry quickly wrote down the incident, he turned to Hermione and Ginny and asked, "Who do you know about Slughorn? What kind of wine does Professor En like, when is his birthday, and what kind of food does he like? At that time, I can often go to him to inquire about my mother, and ask for a few photos by the way. After all, he has always wanted to collect me, and he will definitely not refuse. Show goodwill."
"I remember Professor Slughorn mentioning it when he showed us the birthday present Albert gave him," Ginny also threw an intellect in her mouth, "a very delicate fire dragon Badge, like..."
The two said in unison: "April 28."
"Thank you Hermione, and you Ginny." Harry stuffed the notebook into his pocket~IndoMTL.com~ After giving Hermione and Ginny a big hug, he quickly walked outside.
"Harry, where are you going?" Hermione asked suspiciously.
"I think I should go to Professor Slughorn while there is still some time now to prepare for the future."
"Is Harry really okay?" Ginny asked Hermione in a low voice, looking at Harry's leaving back with red cheeks.
"Should be fine." Hermione glanced at Ginny and said, "There are some things you'd better not talk about outside."
"I'm not one of those idiots like Romilda Vanney." Ginny mumbled, "By the way, Hermione, have you ever used Flux?"
"No, what's wrong?"
"The Flux seems to work well." Ginny was eager to get a small Flux.
She felt that if she could really get the elixir, her relationship with Harry might get her wish.
"This is what Albert gave me last time." Hermione seemed to see through Ginny's thoughts, and took out a medicine bottle from her pocket to stop Ginny and said, "Maybe, you can try it sometime. Lavender's way."
