Harry Potter's Bastard

"Slug Club, what's that?" Ron looked at Harry curiously.

Hermione and Neville in the train compartment also looked at Harry, waiting for him to continue.

Solim said that it was a small group organized by Slughorn, which only students he invited could attend, and that they would hold regular banquets, supposedly to promote relations between members, and then Slughorn would be able to get some benefit from them. "

Harry shrugged.

"That's what Solim told me anyway, he seems to think Slughorn is a snob. "

"Snobbish?, why would he think that?" Hermione frowned, a snobbish professor...... This wasn't what Hermione wanted to see, as she knew exactly what her identity looked like to pure-blood wizards.

"He only invites those who are famous—"

"Like- you, right?" Ron asked.

"Well, that's right. Harry scratched his head, "Solim said Slughorn would find a way to pull the two of us into his 'slug club'. "

"Then why did he invite Solim?" asked Hermione, "just because his last name was Selwyn?"

"I guess that's it. "

"I was ready to give up Potions class. Who knew Snape would run away to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts. Ron looked distressed, "How do I choose classes next semester?"

"I don't have much confidence in the potions either. Harry frowned, "If the Potions grades aren't enough for the next semester to get into the improvement class, it means we're going to continue to be tortured by Snape." "

"But there's one thing you have to admit—" Hermione didn't like Snape very much, but she had a more objective view of Snape, not as extreme as Harry and Ron.

"The quality of Snape's teaching is absolutely guaranteed. Hermione helped to do justice.

Truth be told, although Snape would often sneer at Gryffindor students and find opportunities to deduct their points, he would never hide or discriminate in the content of his teaching. You can learn a lot from Snape's class, but only if you need to spend a lot of extra time outside of class researching materials, and it is obviously not possible to take Snape's class with the attitude of the history of magic.

Neither Harry nor Ron had much to say about Hermione's words. Hermione's personality was beyond what they already knew, and there was no point in arguing with her on certain issues.

"Does that mean you've been staying at your relative's house all the time?" Ron's tone was full of anticipation, "I mean, if you help Dumbledore, can you come and stay in our house until school starts?"

For the Weasley family, of course, Harry likes it very much, although it is a veritable "Burrow", but Harry has a "home" feeling there - this wolf star is different when they are together. Sirius should have been more important to Harry himself, but he didn't feel the "home" atmosphere of the Burrow in his old mansion at 12 Grimmauld Place.

"This ...... I'll ask Dumbledore. Harry naturally wanted to go to the Ugly House, but he also knew now that willfulness would not solve the problem, and he knew that he would have to return to Privet once a year before he became an adult to ensure that his mother's magic worked.

"I hear, you're having nightmares again?" asked Hermione.

"Hmm. Harry glanced at Neville across from him, and he didn't blame Neville for being too talkative, he just didn't want to discuss the topic - it was a nightmare, but what he saw was what was really happening. Harry knew how it felt, he still remembered the last attack on Mr. Weasley, and he was terrified to see someone familiar kneeling in front of "him" again.

Harry was very grateful to Solim for having heard Sirius say it when he got the two-way mirror, and if it weren't for Solim, Sirius wouldn't have thought to go to the family vault and take it out.

"Did you tell Solim?"

"Having said that, he said that the affairs of the Caro brothers and sisters have nothing to do with me, so I don't have to worry about it. Harry sighed, "And he said that the Caro siblings' mission to Hogwarts had been a failure from the start. "

"How could he be sure so?" Ron said, "they're Death Eaters, what could be the purpose of coming to Hogwarts other than you?"

"We've talked about it before. Hermione took Ron's words in a rare way, "If they were really here for Harry, their daily behavior wouldn't be like that-"

Hermione looked at Harry, "Did you see anything wrong with staring at the map every day during that time?"

Shaking his head, Harry remembered how he had spent that time.

As long as he had time, he would take out the live point map and stare at the Caro siblings, and even slept with the live point map every day, but with such strict guards, Harry still didn't notice anything wrong with the Caro brothers and sisters. If anything, the Caro siblings didn't do anything to make the biggest mistake - they were Death Eaters, and they must have come to Hogwarts for some purpose, but they behaved like normal professors on a daily basis, and this behavior continued until they were kicked out of Hogwarts, which was something that Harry and the others couldn't figure out. The Caro siblings came to Hogwarts more like a visit or a stopper, and they didn't do anything suspicious.

"Did he tell you more about the Carol siblings?" Hermione had always believed in Solim's information, as he had never missed it, and since Solim had said that the Carol siblings weren't here for Harry, it certainly wasn't.

"No more, he just said that the Caro siblings had failed their mission before they came to Hogwarts - I don't know what that meant. "

Hermione frowned and began to think about the meaning of the words.

The Caro siblings were Death Eaters, and the only person who could assign them to Hogwarts was Lord Voldemort - Hermione was sure of that. So what did Voldemort want to get from Hogwarts, or spy on something, but what was there in Hogwarts that Voldemort cared about?

Hermione suddenly remembered something, something that had happened when they were in their second year. Hermione knew more about Voldemort's past than even Harry. When he was in his second grade, Solim revealed some things about Voldemort and Horcruxes in order to get Hermione to cooperate with him. So Hermione knew very well what Voldemort had escaped with something, and she knew what the diary meant to Voldemort back then.

Although there may have been some deviations in the specific items, Hermione undoubtedly had Horcruxes in mind.

"Harry, I think I probably know what the Caro siblings came to Hogwarts for. "

Hermione's expression was serious. _
