v2 Chapter 1309： Back to the residence (1/2)
”Horas is not supported by pure blood theory. He said that it should be just an inappropriate metaphor.” Dumbledore said, ”As he said, Harry, your mother is his favorite at school.” One of the students.”
Raghorn mentioned Lily many times, and Harry tried to think about her mother's appearance when she was young.
”I have to use one to describe it, because Horace has a lot of students.” Dumbledore went on to say, ”He likes to make famous, successful, powerful people. He likes that kind of listening. He feels that he never wants to take charge of power, but prefers to take a secondary position, so that the world is wider and more comfortable. When he was at Hogwarts, he always liked to pick his favorite students, sometimes because of their Ambition or wisdom, sometimes because of their charm or talent, and he has a very unusual skill, always able to pick those who will come out in all walks of life in the future.”
”That is the wizard he showed us.” Ai Wen said, ”Look, he didn't even forget to take photos with them when he escaped, and he never missed the gift that everyone gave him. How much he liked him. This feeling.”
”This may have become his instinct and become part of his life,” said Dumbledore.
”Right, Professor, we just heard him say a club, those people are members of this club.”
”Yeah, Horace has built a club with himself as the core, composed of his proud students. He lets them know each other, build useful connections, and finally get some kind of benefit, or get a box for free. His favorite jackfruit, or the opportunity to recommend a clerk to the goblin liaison.” Dumbledore nodded. “He used this to exert his influence...”
”It's like a spider!” Hermione said softly and quickly, and I thought about going with Avon.
Harry’s mind immediately showed a fat bulging spider, which spit a silk here, spit a silk, and made a net around the body, bringing a delicious and juicy fly to himself. Come.
”Well, I tell you this.” Dumbledore continued. ”It is not that you are disgusted with Horace, Professor Slughorn, but hope that you will be vigilant. He will definitely come and draw you. You, especially Harry, you must be his top priority, you will become the jewel in his collection: the boy who is not dead, or, with their recent name for you, the Star of Salvation. ”
”He will come and draw me? But Avon...”
”Yes, he will also win over Ai Wen. He will not let go of every student who can get ahead in the future.” Dumbledore said, ”But you just saw it. He is very alert to Ai Wen’s attitude. He believes that he should keep a distance from Ai Wen for a while.”
”why?”
”Horas had suffered a loss in this area before, which made him not very fond of wizards with too much magical power.” Dumbledore thought for a moment, added, ”Maybe it is out of fear of dangerous instinct, maybe I don't want things to go beyond his control. I think he will check on Avon for a while and decide whether to start, but it's also a matter of time. And you, Hermione, when he really recognizes your unusualities. I can’t help but do it for you...”
I don't know if it was because of the icy fog at night, or because of Dumbledore's praise, Hermione's face was red.
She seemed a little embarrassed and leaned back to Ai Wen.
Ai Wen couldn't help but think that Dumbledore said that Slughorn had suffered from this loss before, and that he was particularly cautious about strength. This should refer to Voldemort's business. He still remembers that Riddle was Get the intelligence of the Horcrux from him.
Therefore, Slughorn is also one of the few wizards who have known Voldemort to make multiple Horcruxes. This is the root of his fear. Slughorn thinks Voldemort is invincible and cannot be killed, but this The old wizard did not know that Voldemort was already moving in a more evil direction.
