The Legend of Harry Potter Schoolmaster

Chapter 507: Slugs and Beetles

With the end of the Easter holiday, the rainy weather in the past few days also ended. The sky was clear and clear for several days in a row. The temperature was gradually warming up, and there was a breath of summer in the air.

At the same time, it also means that this school year, full of many surprises, has come to an end.

The news of Voldemort's departure from England is undoubtedly very encouraging... many parents of students who had previously brought their children home, reintroduced their children back to Hogwarts Castle, and continued to live in Hogwarts. academically, despite widespread distrust among parents of Hogwarts' new headmaster.

The roaring letters are still being sent in an endless stream, but as the headmaster, Jon Hart himself has not received any of them, and all those bad letters have been disposed of by the stone monster at the door of the headmaster's office.

And the students of Hogwarts are preparing for their annual final exam... Although the headmaster passed away for some reason, the exam has not been cancelled. This is terrible news...

Miss Hermione Granger had already drawn up her review plan and marked all her notes with different colors... Although the final exams of the sixth grade are not as important as the exams of the fifth and seventh grades , but due to some accidents, she lost several weeks of review time this year, which sometimes made her a little anxious and spent most of her time in the library.

But her two friends obviously didn't care about the final exam. They cared more about the thing that Jon Hart had mentioned at the Order of the Phoenix gathering on Easter.

"What on earth did he ask you to do?" Ron Weasley threw the quill in his hand and asked eagerly: "Hart, that new headmaster who is younger than me...God knows Dumbledore Why did the professor choose him?"

Although Harry Potter on the side didn't look up, he couldn't help pricking up his ears.

Hermione Granger just shook her head, and then replied softly: "He told me in the letter not to tell anyone about this for now..."

"Even I can't do it..." Harry raised his head in disappointment, "I'm also a member of the Order of the Phoenix... And I promise, I won't tell anyone else about this..."

"Sorry, really not, Harry." Hermione shook her head again: "However, I think you will know soon."

While talking, Hermione tidied up her books and stood up: "I'll excuse you first."

After that, she walked out of the library quickly.

"Hermione is getting weird!" Ron said softly, scratching his head.

"Yeah!" Harry Potter also expressed the same feeling: "It's the first time I saw her leave the library so early."

...

Miss Hermione Granger, who left the library, did not return directly to the Gryffindor common room.

After returning to the eighth floor of the castle, she turned around and started heading in the direction of the principal's office.

Five minutes later, she arrived at her destination and stood in front of the huge and ugly stone monster.

"Password?" the statue asked very majesticly.

"No one knows more about magic than I do."

Hermione recalled for a moment, and soon said the strange password that Jon Hart gave her in the letter.

There was only a creak, and the statue moved a position to the right, revealing the spiral staircase behind it.

Hermione first touched the glass bottle in her pocket, and then walked up the automatic spiral staircase... at the top of the spiral staircase. She saw a shiny oak door with a brass knocker in the shape of a badger's head.

However, the oak door was ajar, and there was a conversation in the principal's office, and there seemed to be guests inside.

Hermione felt that it was not easy for her to go in, so she waited patiently at the door while listening to the voices from inside.

...

"Welcome, welcome back to Hogwarts, Horace." Looking at the haggard old man in front of him, Jon, who was sitting on the office chair, raised his head and said with a smile.

"Oh, Headmaster Hart..." Horace Slughorn said haggardly, "Thank you so much..."

The once bloated walrus managed to lose a lot of weight after being in Azkaban for a period of time, and became extremely weak.

But on his face, he could still see the joy of the rest of his life after the catastrophe.

"Thank you so much, Principal Hart...thank you so much...if you hadn't spoken up for me at the interrogation that day...I don't know if I'd be able to see the sun again tomorrow." His voice, It seemed a little hysterical.

"You're welcome, Professor Slughorn." Jon said with a smile: "This is what I should do; although we didn't meet much before, you are a teacher at Hogwarts after all; and I also But it’s just telling the truth.”

"Anyway, it was you who rescued me from Azkaban..." Slughorn showed a sincere smile: "If you need anything in the future, please feel free to ask..."

"Coincidentally, Horace." Jon blinked suddenly: "I happen to need your help with something right now."

The "sincere" smile on Slughorn's face froze instantly.

"The situation is like this." Jon didn't care about the other party's emotions, and continued to speak directly: "The Order of the Phoenix recently discussed something, and plans to publicize the deeds of the Order of the Phoenix through some media..."

"But... but... this matter has nothing to do with me..." Professor Slughorn stammered, "I'm not... a member of the Order of the Phoenix..."

"Oh, that's right!" Jon patted his forehead, and then added: "I just heard that you have a good relationship with the editor-in-chief of "Daily Prophet", Barnabas Guffy..."

Slughorn was obviously relieved, he patted his chest, and said proudly: "Of course, Barnabas is one of the students I am most proud of; and he also respects me very much, often Write to ask me some opinions on the current situation..."

"It is precisely because of this relationship that I came to you, Professor." Jon also smiled and responded: "After all, I don't know many people in the magic world..."

"...In addition, considering your relationship with Mr. Barnabas-Guffy, I hope to promote you as a typical member of the Order of the Phoenix." Jon continued nonchalantly.

The smile on Slughorn's face froze for the second time.

"Principal Hart, what are you talking about..." He tried to put on a surprised expression, "I'm not a member of the Order of the Phoenix..."

"You don't need any procedures to join the Order of the Phoenix." Jon said nonchalantly, "And it's just publicity, setting up a model...the great wizard Horace Slughorn lurking among the Death Eaters... That sounds admirable, doesn't it..."

Without looking at Slughorn, who was completely stunned, Jon snapped his fingers.

Fawkes, already half-feathered, flew out of her perch and flew into Jon's hands.

"By the way, Professor Slughorn." Jon said slowly: "There is one more thing I need to tell you...Professor Dumbledore didn't leave any instructions at all...During the interrogation at the Ministry of Magic, I The evidence submitted was forged only out of desperation..."

"Principal Hart..." Slughorn took a deep breath, and then said with a serious face: "As for what you said before, I will contact Barnabas as soon as possible... and about joining Phoenix I have always been looking forward to it..."

"That would be great, Horace." Jon smiled again.

"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave... I still have to prepare for Potions class..."

Slughorn dropped a word and stumbled out of the headmaster's office.

He seemed to be in a trance, and he didn't even see Hermione behind the door.

...

Hermione Granger stood outside the headmaster's office at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Just then, she heard Jon Hart's voice from inside the house:

"Come in, Miss Granger!"
