The Legend of Harry Potter Schoolmaster

Chapter 371 The Slug Club (Part 1)

Daphne Greengrass read the letter in astonishment, only to realize that it was a new Hogwarts teacher named "Professor H. Slughorn" who invited her to have lunch on the train at noon.

To be honest, this flattered Daphne a bit...

After all, an ordinary girl like her has never been "treated differently" by any teacher before.

But at twelve o'clock, when Daphne arrived at carriage C (the place for dinner mentioned in the letter), she was slightly disappointed by what she saw—because she found that she was not the only one invited by Slughorn.

And judging from Slughorn's warm welcome, he was far from what he was most looking forward to seeing.

Around the round table in the carriage, more than a dozen students had already gathered.

Apart from her, Blaise Zabini, who was in the same grade as her, was invited. The other party nodded to her, and Daphne also nodded in response.

There was also Marcus Belby in the fourth year of Ravenclaw, Ginny Weasley in the fifth year of Gryffindor, and a few seventh years she couldn't name...

But as the finale——

It's the "Savior" Harry Potter!

...

It was only then that Daphne discovered that most of the people who came to this carriage were related to some influential and important figure.

For example, Blaise Zabini, his mother is a well-known pretty widow; Marcus Belby, his uncle Damocles Belby is a very famous potions expert... As for myself, Daphne Guess it's mostly because of the mother's light?

Perhaps Harry Potter is an exception, because of that scar, and because of the "savior" rumors, he is probably more famous than everyone else in the room combined!

Most of Slughorn's attention was also on Harry Potter... For the next hour or so, he kept staring at Mr. Potter and asking him if he wanted something to eat. Grilled quail, then asked him if he wanted some pie...

Apparently, Harry Potter was also quite embarrassed by this.

It can even be said that "embarrassment" is the theme of this party, especially for Daphne-Professor Slughorn, except for asking a little about her mother's situation at the beginning, has been treating Daphne as nothing. , barely talked to her...

While counting the time, some of the days seemed like years to stay in the carriage.

"I'll find Astoria later, and complain about the situation here..." Daphne thought to herself with her head lowered.

But she was taken aback suddenly, remembering that her sister didn't come to school with her this time, she couldn't help but feel like crying.

Daphne quickly wiped the corners of her eyes, so that no one else in the carriage would notice.

After lunch, Slughorn started talking again, telling anecdotes about the brilliant wizards he had taught, about how they all happily joined a slug club at Hogwarts...

Daphne wanted to leave quickly, but didn't know how to get out without being rude.

When the train passed through a long period of dense fog, a red sunset appeared outside.

Professor Horace-Slughorn exclaimed with some fuss: "Oh, it's getting dark! I didn't notice that they turned on the lights!"

"...you'd better go back and change into your school robes, or if you delay your serious time, Principal Dumbledore will definitely blame me!" Slughorn looked around again.

With his permission, the students in the carriage squeezed into the dim aisle one by one.

"Harry...Harry..." Daphne heard Slughorn shouting behind her: "Can you stay a little longer, I have something to confirm with you!"

Daphne only saw Harry Potter stop awkwardly but politely.

But then, Slughorn's voice came from behind again:

"Miss Greengrass, and you... Could you please stay in the carriage for a while, too?"

...

It took a while for Daphne to realize that Professor Slughorn was calling her own name.

She stopped in astonishment, a little confused, why did Slughorn stop her at the end of the party?

The others left in turn; and soon she and Harry Potter were alone in the carriage except for Slughorn.

"Sit down, sit down wherever you want!" Slughorn said casually, "I just want to ask one or two questions, it won't take too long..."

Daphne and Harry Potter looked at each other with some embarrassment. Due to the tense atmosphere between the two houses of Gryffindor and Slytherin, they had almost no intersection before.

Slughorn looked at Harry first. He lowered his voice and asked softly, "Harry, I want to ask about Mr. Jon Hart?"

"Jon..." Harry couldn't help but stare blankly: "He died a year ago...I saw with my own eyes that Wormtail killed him."

"Oh, is that... Are you sure that he was the one who died?" Slughorn murmured.

"Professor, what do you mean?" Harry couldn't help but frowned slightly: "Of course it was him, I saw it with my own eyes..."

"Okay, Harry...Okay, thank you!" Slughorn interrupted Harry Potter with a smile: "I just asked casually."

"Can I leave then, Professor?" Harry asked tentatively.

"Of course!" Slughorn nodded hurriedly.

Harry Potter left in a hurry, and now there were only two people in the carriage, Slughorn and Daphne Greengrass.

For some reason, Daphne felt a little scared.

"Miss Greengrass, you should know the real situation of Mr. Hart, right?" Slughorn asked in a lower voice, "I have asked people, and you have a very close relationship with him..."

"No...I'm not...I didn't..." Daphne couldn't help blushing, and quickly argued.

She only felt that she was terrible now. Although she refused with her mouth, she had completely betrayed Jon no matter her tone or expression.

"I think you should have a way to contact him!" Slughorn obviously knew everything from the little girl's performance, his voice became as thin as a mosquito: "I need you to help me send him a letter , the content is about..."

Slughorn's voice was getting lower and lower, and it was completely inaudible from the side.

...

A few minutes later, Daphne, who was at a loss, "escaped" back to her previous cubicle.

"Hurry up and change your clothes, Daphne." Millicent Birds on the side reminded: "The train is coming to school soon."
