The Legend of Harry Potter Schoolmaster

Chapter 448 Slughorn's Christmas Party

Standing behind Professor Horace Slughorn was an old man with a goatee and a slightly wretched look.

The old man was wearing an old suit and looked old-fashioned. He looked ordinary and inconspicuous; if it weren't for Professor Slughorn's introductory speech just now, it would be difficult for people to distinguish him from the rumored mysterious The new Headmaster of the Durmstrang Academy of Witchcraft and Magic, Professor Winston-Vance, is linked...

According to legend, the "new" headmaster of Durmstrang, who took office more than a year ago, was very ruthless, almost with the power of thunder, within a few months, the former headmaster Igor Karkarov was killed. The forces supported by Durmstrang have been completely cleaned up...

And after Gellert Grindelwald escaped from the Nurmengard Tower, the principal Winston Vance was even more mysterious, because he was a loyal believer of Grindelwald when he was young. , was imprisoned in Jamtland Prison (a wizarding prison under the jurisdiction of the Swedish Ministry of Magic) for twenty years before being freed...

Many Hogwarts students looked at this unattractive headmaster with curious eyes.

At the same time, everyone wondered why the headmaster of Durmstrang Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry would visit Hogwarts to attend a Christmas party on Christmas Eve... Could it be that Horace Slughorn Is the professor's face really that big?

But what interested everyone more was the young man standing behind Professor Vance.

"Good evening, Blaise...and Tiffany...Sean...Long time no see, Merry Christmas everyone!" Christopher Patrick greeted his old friends one by one with a smile.

This Durmstrang student had been an exchange student at Hogwarts for a period of time more than half a year ago, and he had reached quite a harmonious relationship with many Slytherin students.

...

"Oh my God!" Daphne Greengrass couldn't help covering her mouth, she glanced at the young man surrounded by the crowd, and at the younger sister beside her; after taking a deep breath, Daphne spoke softly road:

"Christopher... Jon... how could..."

"Isn't his status as a student of Durmstrang a fake...why...why did he become the principal's favorite student again..."

While talking to herself, Daphne looked at her younger sister Astoria with puzzled eyes: "Astoria, did you know in advance that he is coming back here?"

Astoria shook her head dumbly, her eyes were more puzzled than her sister's.

She first glanced at the "Christopher Patrick" very carefully, and then turned her head to look in the direction where Albus Dumbledore was before:

"Dumbledore's gone?" she murmured.

Daphne turned her head and saw that it was indeed the case. Principal Dumbledore, who was enjoying the delicious herbal soup just now, had disappeared completely, leaving only one empty seat.

"Probably something urgent happened to him!" Daphne asked casually, her attention was always on Christopher Patrick (Jon Hart) who suddenly appeared, and she didn't care about such trivial matters at all.

A student with a flushed face was scurrying toward Professor Slughorn; the sisters recognized him as Marcus Belby of Ravenclaw, who had just been sitting Next to Headmaster Albus Dumbledore.

"Professor Slughorn...Principal Dumbledore asked me to tell you...he has received an urgent message and hastened to leave!" He stammered.

It's not loud, but enough to be heard by those around you.

"Look!" Daphne shrugged her shoulders towards her sister, while keeping her gaze away from the crowd in front of her as much as possible.

Mr. Winston Vance, the headmaster of Durmstrang, had obviously heard the news, and a very small, imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At the same time, he turned his head and glanced at his "protégé student"; if someone noticed, he would find that he was using an "inquiring" look.

And Christopher Patrick just shook his head at him without leaving a trace.

...

The two "distinguished" guests sat in the most prominent positions of the Christmas dinner.

Among them, Headmaster Vance sat, and even the seat of Headmaster Dumbledore before...

However, he was tilting his head at this time, whispering to his "protégé student", the two of them were discussing something; maybe they were asking about some things about Hogwarts, the people around guessed.

More and more distinguished guests came here, each visitor, Professor Slughorn welcomed them with an extremely warm attitude——

"Welcome, Miss Granger!" As he walked to the door again, his trademark smooth voice sounded again: "You are very welcome...and your partner, if I remember correctly If so, it should be Mr. Longbottom? Haha, even though you didn't take my Potions course..."

"Yes sir... I'm Neville Longbottom!" a nervous voice said.

"You are also very welcome, Neville...I have always had a good relationship with your parents, of course before that tragedy happened; I am very sorry for their experience..." Slughorn enthusiastically Hugs with Neville Longbottom...

Then, he went to welcome the next visitor——

"Mr. McLaggen, welcome..."

Hermione and Neville sat between several Gryffindor students. Neville looked a little nervous, but Hermione looked around calmly——

"Why are there so many people over there?" She pointed to the crowded crowd ahead, and asked a Gryffindor junior girl beside her.

"It seems to be an exchange student from last year, who has returned to Hogwarts!" The girl's mouth was full of food, and her voice was a little slurred.

"Last year's exchange student...how is this possible!" Hermione opened her mouth in surprise.

"Yeah, his name... seems to be... Christopher Patrick?"

...

The whole party was going on in a cheerful atmosphere!

Until a little accident happened.

Mr. Argus Filch, the caretaker of the castle, strode over, grabbing a boy by the ear.

"Professor Slughorn!" Filch wheezed, the flesh on his jaw twitching, and the goldfish's eyes flashed with that crazy light that catches students mischievous: "I found this boy hiding upstairs In the corridor, did you send him an invitation?"

The boy wrenched free from Filch's grip, looking distraught.

"Okay, I wasn't invited!" He said angrily, "I sneaked in, are you happy?"
