"For the past time ..." Slughorn said softly.

The big round eyes looked at Ivan, Harry, Hermione, and scar on the forehead of Harry.

"Oh, the past is always worth remembering." He narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Albus, what are these three?"

"Harry · Potter, Ivan Mason, Hermione Granger, you should have heard of their names." Dumbledore introduced, pointing to Slughorn, "Children, this is an old friend and old colleague of mine , Called Hollas Slughorn. "

"Ivan Mason, Harry · Potter?" Slughorn muttered, "Yeah, I heard about it."

"Good evening, Professor!" Ivan said, bowing slightly to Slughorn.

"Don't shout, boy, I'm not a professor. I haven't taught for many years." Slughorn immediately said, seeming to be frightened.

He is not looking at them at Ivan and turns to Dumbledore with a smart expression on his face.

"I know what you want to do, Albus, you think this will convince me, right? I tell you, the answer is no!"

He said, turning his face to the side firmly, as if resisting any temptation.

"But we can have at least one drink, won't you refuse even this?" Dumbledore said.

Slugghorn hesitated when he heard this.

Then, he said stiffly, "Okay, then have a drink."

As he turned around and fiddled with the bottles and glasses, Dumbledore smiled at them.

He swung wand(s) into three chairs, much like the one Slughorn had just impersonated, and motioned for the three of them to sit down.

Beside the chair is the newly ignited fire and a bright oil lamp. Ivan sits in the middle and Harry is on the other side of the oil lamp.

Dumbledore deliberately arranged them in a prominent position, directly opposite Slughorn's position.

Sure enough, when he turned around, he could see three of them at first glance.

"Humph!" He quickly looked away, as if afraid of hurting his eyes.

"Here!" He handed a cup to Dumbledore who had sat down, and pushed the tray towards Ivan in front of them.

Then, he sat in a pile of cushions on the sofa that had just been repaired, and fell silent in the face.

"How is it, Horace, have you been okay recently?" Dumbledore asked.

"Not very good." Slughorn shook his head and said immediately, "Breathless, asthma, and rheumatism, legs and feet are not as flexible as before, and pain is torturing me. Alas, this is also As expected. People are getting old and not working. "

"However, you prepared such a welcome scene in such a short time, the action must be agile enough, most wizard(s) can't do this." Dumbledore said, "I think, the time you get the alert Will it not exceed three minutes? "

"Two minutes, I was taking a shower and drinking a glass of wine by the way. It must have been slightly drunk and did not hear the alarm." Slughorn said half angrily and half proudly, and then he seemed to calm down again "However, the facts are undeniable. I am an old man. Albus, a tired old man, has the right to live a quiet life and get some material enjoyment, just like I told you before."

He undoubtedly is not lacking in material enjoyment, he is drinking specially brewed wine even when drinking.

There are also decorations in the room, which are crowded and messy, but no one will say that it is uncomfortable.

In addition to the original owner of muggle(s), there are many things that obviously belong to Slughorn, such as the exquisite set of wine, unique soft chairs, step stools, books, and a box of chocolates. And a bunch of bulging cushions.

If they do n’t know who lives here, they will probably guess a picky lady.

Ivan knows that Slughorn is a very smart wizard(s), has all the qualities of Slytherin, and will enjoy it.

At the very least, I understand and enjoy more than all the wizard(s)s he knows.

"Your age is not as old as me, Horace." Dumbledore said.

"Maybe you should consider retiring yourself. I heard that there have been a lot of troubles recently." Slughorn said bluntly, his light green eyes fixed on the Dumbledore's cursed hands , "It can be seen that your reaction is not as agile as in the past."

"You are right." Dumbledore said quietly, shaking his sleeves up.

There, Ivan saw that his arms were also covered with complex dark green spells.

They are intertwined with each other and extend up the arms.

What is this?

Ivan has never seen such a mantra, he originally thought it was magic rune, but now it seems that this is not the case.

This seems to be a curse, not simply a magical injury that was taken by accident.

"I am obviously slower than in the past." Dumbledore said, "Dangerous magic experiments and adventures are no longer suitable for me, but it is also undeniable that adventures have gained a lot, and our current progress is beyond imagination On the other hand ... "

He shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, as if to say that old age also has the benefits of old age.

But Slughorn was definitely not listening to what Dumbledore said, and his eyes fell on the ring of Gaunt.

He frowned slightly, and several wrinkles appeared on his wide head.

Ivan remembers fifteen-year-old Riddle told him and Dumbledore that Slughorn had seen such a ring.

The ring is now exactly the same as before, except that the resurrection stone is kept here.

Not to mention, the soul in the ring is casual!

The fifteen-year-old Riddle, Slughorn's favorite student must be watching him now.

But if he knew about it, or if Dumbledore released Riddle, he would be scared to run away immediately.

All the mantras eventually converged on the ring, or it was originally spread here.

Ivan can't help thinking, what exactly does Dumbledore want to do? Involving the magic of the soul of Riddle?

"So, Horace, all these security measures against intruders, are they directed at Death Eater(s), or are they directed at me?" Dumbledore asked.

"Well, what's the use of this old bone that Death Eater(s) wants me to use?" Slughorn asked back.

"I think they will want you to use your ingenuity for repression, torture and murder." Dumbledore said, "You have a place among them, many of them respect you, don't they? Dare you say they did n’t come to pull you in? ”

Death Eater(s), especially the original Death Eater(s) and Voldemort, most of them are Slytherin students.

At that time, Slughorn was their dean, and he had a very good sense of envelopment.

Slaghorn stared at Dumbledore fiercely for a moment, and then whispered, "I have never given them a chance. I have been missing where I have been in one place for more than a week. From one place. The muggle(s) residence moved to another muggle(s) residence, and the owner of this house is on vacation in the Canary Islands. "

"Hey, I live here very comfortably, and I really do n’t want to leave. You know, it ’s not that difficult, once you find the trick, it ’s easy. They do n’t use speculum, but use those funny anti-theft alarms. , You just need to cast a freezing spell on it, and, do n’t let your neighbors see then it will be alright when you move the piano in. "
