Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1205: Prom invitation
Chapter 1207 Prom Invitation
At this moment, Harry is on his way back to the Gryffindor common room, his steps are light, and he seems to be in a good mood.
Just a few minutes ago, Harry came out of Professor Slughorn's office, and since the last time he took the Flux and ran to Professor Slughorn's office, Harry and the potion The relationship between professors has become much closer.
Of course, this is also related to Professor Slughorn's desire to "collect" the Savior Star.
Although the two sides have their own thoughts, the exchange is still pleasant.
In order to prevent Professor Slughorn from suspecting that his motives were impure, Harry took the initiative to reveal the purpose of coming to the other party: he hoped to obtain buff-type potions, such as the Flux, by the way from Slughorn. En's mouth understands things related to his parents.
This approach undoubtedly made Professor Slughorn relax his vigilance and was willing to help Harry as much as he could.
After all, Professor Slughorn could also make a fortune in Galleons if he sold Flux. In fact, he did so. The two parties have already reached a preliminary cooperation on the transaction of the Flux. The Order of the Phoenix does not need to worry about the lack of Flux for the time being. With the Flux, the safety of life can be further guaranteed.
Honestly, Harry has never taken something as seriously as he is now, not even the last time he played in the Triwizard Tournament.
It's all about destroying Voldemort, and it's all worth it.
"How is it, Harry?"
had just returned to the Gryffindor common room when Hermione put down her quill and came to check on Harry's latest progress.
"It's going well."
Harry looked around the lively common room and didn't find Ron a little surprised.
"Rolo is over there, with Lavender." Hermione pointed to the sofa by the fireplace and said to Harry, "Let's go over there and talk!"
Harry followed Hermione to the corner of the lounge and talked about what he had learned from Professor Slughorn today.
"Professor Slughorn has already agreed to sell some of the Flux, but Dumbledore took a batch from him last time, he needs to re-brew, and we need to pay a deposit to buy the herbs. Of course , as well as compound medicines, I feel that I will be prepared to stock up on more medicines."
"That would require a large sum of Galleons, and it would take at least half a year to brew the Fuling Potion!" Hermione reminded with a frown.
"I know, Sirius and the others still have some elixirs in reserve, but that thing can't be used up at all." Harry is very aware of the magical effects of elixirs. If they are used at critical moments, they may be a good thing that can save lives.
Although it is said that the amount of phlegm used needs to be strictly limited, after learning Albert's method of using phlegm, there is no need to worry about the dosage, and the reserves of phlegm in the Order of the Phoenix are obviously insufficient. .
Harry doesn't really mind taking part of his parents' legacy in Gringotts to buy Flux, but Sirius had told Harry that Dumbledore wasn't short of money.
"I heard a lot about my mother from Professor Slughorn, and I can see that he really likes my mother. I think starting from this aspect, the probability of success should be higher." Ha. Leigh knew exactly what he had to do to gain Professor Slughorn's trust, and while he didn't like going out of his way to please someone, for some purposes he knew he had no choice.
After all, figuring out the exact number of Horcruxes is more important than anything else, and that was a task that Dumbledore entrusted to him, Harry had to complete it no matter what, he didn't want to disappoint Dumbledore.
"By the way, this Christmas, I'm going to give Slughorn a box of pineapple preserves. You know, he likes people to give him gifts." Harry looked at Hermione after saying that, and saw that the other party was serious Listening to what he said, he lowered his voice and continued to speak.
"Next, I plan to continue to get some information about my parents from him, and then wait for his birthday to bring a bottle of wine to visit him. I think with the help of the elixir, the probability of success should not be too high. low."
"Any advice from Albert?"
Hermione also felt that Harry's plan was fine, but many times the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Harry obviously didn't have much time to try, and it was best to succeed at one time.
"Albert also agrees with my plan. As for the suggestion, he thinks that if the plan fails completely, he will forcefully pull Professor Slughorn into the water." Harry looked around to make sure that no one was eavesdropping, and lowered his voice. : "Let me tell Slughorn that Voldemort is not far from death, they need that part of the memory, and he thinks that as long as he uses the elixirs well, he will be successful."
Harry felt helpless when he brought up Albert's suggestion.
"It's really simple and rude." Hermione was also a little surprised, and could not help but doubt the feasibility of Albert's suggestion. After all, if a direct showdown worked, Dumbledore had already persuaded Professor Slughorn to hand over that part of the memory. , instead of sending Harry to contact each other to try to get this part of the memory.
But sometimes, Hermione actually trusts Albert's judgment more than herself, because that man has almost never made mistakes, which is why many people are willing to trust him.
"By the way, Harry, are you looking for a dance partner?" Hermione asked suddenly, changing the subject.
"No, you know, I'm not really interested in Christmas balls."
Harry noticed that Hermione had strayed from the subject, and took the initiative to continue with the other party's topic. When he looked up, he saw several girls walking towards him, the girls who were trying to get Harry to invite them to the dance.
Harry got up and tried to run away, but was left behind by Hermione.
"What about you?" Harry looked at Hermione reproachfully, knowing he couldn't escape.
"I haven't either." Hermione shrugged and said, "You know, I was going to take Ron, but he's getting on with Lavender now, and if I invite him, maybe Misunderstood Lavender and made them very unhappy."
"I think we can go together," Harry said to Hermione, raising his voice deliberately, "that saves the trouble of finding a dance partner."
However, this obviously cannot drive away those passionate girls.
"It seems that you have been impatient with those girls recently." Hermione smiled and watched Harry turn down the girls, "I told you to find a dance partner in advance."
"Okay, Hermione, maybe we can pretend to go together, you're not looking for a partner anyway."
"It depends on the situation, if you really can't find anyone." Hermione hesitated, still feeling that it would be a waste of time for the two to go together, and...
"What are you worried about?" Harry asked in confusion after confirming that the girls had left.
"Nothing." Hermione shook her head.
"Okay Hermione, don't let me guess, just tell me, Albert's riddleman is enough to be annoying," Harry urged.
"We have to think about that idiot Ron," Hermione reminded helplessly. She didn't really mind going with Harry, she hadn't found a dance partner anyway, but Hermione had to take care of other things.
Harry fell silent for a while, and he actually saw that Ron liked Hermione, but Hermione obviously only regarded Ron as a close friend, just like her relationship with herself.
"You're right, Ron is an idiot!" Harry sighed softly, "Then you want to invite him to the Christmas ball?"
"Forget it, I don't want to be entangled with Lavender." Hermione shrugged, "If I don't have a choice, I'd rather invite Luna."
"You take good care of Luna, I thought you hated her." Harry looked at Hermione in surprise, but he knew that Hermione and Luna had nothing in common.
"I don't hate her." Hermione denied it directly, "It's just hard for us to have a common topic, but recently we have a common topic again."
"I know you Hermione."
Harry knew that Hermione didn't really like Luna very much, and they were not compatible. He even thought that Hermione would be willing to take the initiative to help Luna and Albert.
"You can take Ron, and I'll take Luna for you," Harry suggested
"Then... well."
Hermione hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement with Harry's suggestion, "I'll go talk to Luna about this, Ron's side, you'll take care of him yourself."
"It's easy!" Harry said confidently, "I'll find Ron right now."
"You're going to invite me to Professor Slughorn's Christmas ball?"
Ron seemed to suspect that he had heard it wrong, he frowned and reminded: "But Harry, no boy will invite another boy to be a dance partner, if this thing spreads at Hogwarts... "
"I know." Harry interrupted Ron impatiently: "I just wanted to ask if you wanted to go to Professor Slughorn's Christmas ball."
"Of course." Ron shrugged and said, "No one wants to go to the Christmas party, but I don't think it's appropriate to be your dance partner, it will make us the laughing stock of the whole school."
"Hermione didn't invite her own dance partner either." Harry explained to Ron how he would be invited to the dance without being the laughing stock of the school, "She wanted to invite Luna, and then Hermione will come to invite you, And I helped her invite Luna."
"Hermione wants to invite Luna, it's incredible, I thought Hermione didn't like Luna?" Ron was surprised when he heard Harry's words.
"Probably because of Albert's relationship, Hermione seems to take special care of Luna." Harry actually felt that Hermione liked Albert, but he just didn't want to admit it.
Of course, even admitting it is useless. After all, Albert is already married, which is even more hopeless than when he liked Qiu Zhang in the first place.
"She's going to invite mad girls," Ron muttered.
"Crazy girl? I think she's also nice and funny."
"You don't like her, do you?" Ron stared at Harry with wide eyes.
"Put away your boring thoughts," Harry interrupted. "Anyway, keep this a secret."
After Harry told Ron, he went back to the dorm to get his homework. Although he hated these things right now, Harry knew he had to make time for the homework.
However, the news that Harry invited Mad Girl Luna to Professor Slughorn's Christmas ball was leaked. For some reason, the whole school knew about it. .
A lot of girls who tried to attend the Christmas ball through Harry almost cried at the news. They really couldn't understand the famous Harry Potter, why they chose a crazy girl as their dance partner and let them know His own charm was doubted.
It was the news that Ron was invited by Hermione, and there were some new twists and turns. I don’t know who disclosed the news. It is said that Lavender had a fight with Ron after knowing it. As for whether they broke up or not Got it.
"So, you broke up?"
Harry suspects that Ron deliberately leaked the news to Lavender, and if he wants to get rid of the other party, this time is undoubtedly a good opportunity.
"Not yet, I hope to be separated from Lavender." Ron was a little depressed and seemed reluctant to talk to Harry about it.
"I thought you liked Lavender." Harry frowned slightly and took Ron to the place agreed with Hermione.
"How about you?"
Ron was silent for a moment, trying to change the subject.
"Me? You mean girlfriend?" Harry asked rhetorically.
"I remember you liked Ravenclaw's Cho Chang," Ron said tentatively.
"Yeah, but I don't like it anymore, and Qiu also has someone he likes, so I just gave up, after all, I have my own things to do." Harry did not shy away from talking about how he once liked Qiu · Zhang, this is just a trivial matter to him, it is irrelevant.
"What about now?"
"I don't have time to fall in love right now, killing Voldemort is my first priority." Harry shrugged, "Although it's difficult, I haven't retreated, after all, Voldemort has already decided that I am him. My enemy, he will definitely find an opportunity to kill me personally."
Hearing Voldemort, Ron had an unusual reaction and looked worried.
"Hermione she..."
"Hermione is going to help me, we're both prioritizing killing You-Know-Who right now~IndoMTL.com~ Harry said calmly.
"Harry, this way..."
When they went to the marble steps, they found Hermione and Luna nearby who were waiting here.
"Thank you for inviting me to the Christmas ball, Harry." Luna greeted Harry cheerfully in a silver sequined gown.
"No, I should be thanking you and Mr. Lovegood for your support. I wonder if Hermione has mentioned another thing to you." Harry looked sideways at Hermione.
"Hermione told me, I've written to my family." Luna nodded to show that she knew.
"Albert thinks the turbulent times are coming, and it would be unwise to support me right now." Harry said to Luna, "Sooner or later the Death Eaters will get into trouble with Mr. Lovegood, so I I think it's necessary for him to keep himself and you safe."
"You've changed a lot Harry!" Luna looked Harry up and down.
"I know, but there are things that need to be changed. If you're too naive you'll suffer a lot later. That's what I learned from Albert." Harry shrugged that he had indeed changed.
