Chapter 761: Roasted quail (sincerely thanks to the leader Ying Lin)

() The next morning the wind stopped and the snow stopped. Allen returned to Hogwarts and later went to the auditorium to have breakfast. The whole auditorium was full of news that Katie was enchanted. Except for a few parties, no one knows that the target that the opal necklace actually wants to attack is not Katie himself. The school asked several Gryffindors not to talk about it to others.

After asking Hermione a few words, Allen swallowed the last piece of duck-fried potatoes in his plate and walked out of the auditorium to explain to the Auror guard beside him: "Puipai, let people take that An opal necklace brought me. "

The Aurors moved very quickly. Not long after Allen returned to his teacher ’s office, the door was knocked, and Pupai walked in wearing a dragon leather glove and holding a box in his hand.

"Sir, there is not much time for delay. There is someone in our team who is in the Ministry of Magic. I let him come over by the fireplace." Pope's respectfully reported with a hint of joy. Allen lifted his chin to the box, and Pope gently lifted the lid off. The opal necklace exuded a green glow.

Although it is clear from Lucius ’s report that the candidate for the assassination mission was replaced by Draco in the original plot to Pansy, but it is not clear when the other party will act. Allen, who was personally and originally supposed to be taken yesterday Ms. Rosmerta, controlled by Soul Curse, personally talked, but found no sign of the other party being controlled. Somewhat curious: "Tell me about your investigation."

"We found that the waitress Cheryl of the three broom bars was used by the soul-taking spell, and Cheryl controlled the Katie with the soul-taking spell and asked her to send the cursed necklace to Albus Principal Dumbledore ’s hand. ”Pupai bowed his head slightly and his voice was a little deeper.“ Sir, we confirmed with Cheryl again and again, but she did n’t know who used the curse on her. In this case, the murderer should be a curse directly behind her, and he did n’t show his face when he gave the order. We did n’t say anything. Instead, we repaired the secret pile in the three broom taverns. If the prisoner would come back, we would Can arrest him. "

The opal necklace floated in the air and turned around. Suddenly, in the exclamation of General School, Allen grabbed the necklace with his bare hands and picked it up casually, then put it back into the box.

"Since it's a witness, I won't lift the curse on it. You must be careful." Allen returned the box cover to some stunned generals. The other party froze for a long time before slightly bowing and holding the box back. A few steps left the room.

Compared to the curse that Voldemort placed on his Horcrux, the necklace's attack method is more direct fatal, but if it is to be lifted, the magic difficulty is much simpler, not to mention Dumbledore, those Gu Ling Pavilion Professional curse solvers such as Bill Weasley can take a moment to unlock him, although they ca n’t do it like Allen without holding the spell and holding it directly in his hand.

I personally felt the effect and power of the curse. For Allen who has read too many color-resistant scrolls, if she does not harm Katie Bell to ensure her safety, she will be lifted from the curse and let her recover quickly. It is not difficult.

But as soon as he got up and wanted to go to the St. Mungo ’s Magical Injury Hospital, he thought of Luna ’s previous request to him. Allen sat back in his chair, stroking his chin, thinking about the possibility of using this matter. room. The sound of tapping sounded in the silent room, and Allen's hand flicked rhythmically on the table ...

After the blizzard, the weather was clear and fine for several days, but the temperature dropped suddenly after that.

On the evening of the third teaching of ancient magic, when Allen took Hermione and his sister Emily to push open the door of Professor Slughorn ’s office, they found that like themselves, others came to the banquet to elect ancient The wizards of the magic class all wore the magic robe that Allen sent them, because they occupied a large proportion, so that the second-year twins Torrance sisters and Emily who had not reached the age of the elective class, and did not join this The ordinary dress of McLagen and Belby in the course looked very conspicuous.

"It's great that you guys can come. It's great." Slughorn wore a brown suit and the golden buttons on the waistcoat shone in the light, but the bow tie that made him look like he had no neck. He walked straight out of the seat and shook hands with Harris brothers and sisters and Hermione, and led them to the empty seat beside him.

Draco, who was sitting next to them, immediately forked a roasted quail on their plate, and the other wizards who stood up when they saw Allen entered entered the room and sat down again after nodding their heads in greeting.

"Professor Alan Harris, of course, no one here should not know the story of Professor Harris. The British magic world can now have such a stable situation, but thanks to his efforts and the Ministry of Magic." Slughorn complimented , Picked up a table mat and put it on his lap, and inserted a piece of food in front of him and put it in his mouth. "It's really enjoyable, a chance to learn more about you all."

The banquet officially started, and as everyone ’s plates began to fill up with food, Slughorn turned his attention to Komack McLagan on his left: “Let ’s talk to Komike. Does your uncle Bellus meet? "

"Some professors, in fact I should go hunting with him, Betty Higgins and Rufus Scrimgeour this holiday." McLagen raised his head and showed good table manners.

"Don't forget to say hello to the two of them for me." Slughorn smiled and sandwiched a roasted quail into McLaggen's plate.

"What about your uncle Damocles, Marcos?" Slughorn looked down at the chubby Marcos Belby. He also introduced to the audience at the round table: "In case someone has n’t heard of it, I would like to introduce Marcos ’s uncle, Damocles Belby, a very good wizard, very good, and he was the inventor of the poisonous poison. His Merlin Medal is absolutely well-deserved. "He turned to Marcos again." What new invention is he working on recently? Do you often see your uncle, Marcos? "

Unfortunately, Marcos had just eaten a big bite of quail, and he was eager to answer Slughorn's question, swallowing too fast, his face suddenly turned to pig liver color, and he could not speak.

"Anke Xiao." Slughorn pointed at Belby with his wand and said quietly that Belby's trachea seemed to be clear at once.

"No ... I don't see him much," Belby said breathlessly, his tears choking out.

"Yes, of course, I dare say he must be busy." Slughorn looked at Belby questioningly and said, "Is he inventing a new potion?"

Marcos did n’t seem to dare to eat quail anymore, but he turned his dessert back in front of his attention without lifting his head: “I heard that he seems to accept the invitation to join the umbrella company? But I do n’t know the specifics. He Poor relationship with my dad, probably because my dad said that potions are all rubbish. "

Slughorn never thought that the other party would say such a thing in front of his own potion class professor, nor did he think that the other party had no good relationship with the potion master uncle. Horace frowned and leaned back, wrinkling his nose. It's just that none of this was noticed by Marcos, who was hungry at the dessert.

Marcos continued: "He said the only useful potion was to go home and drink a few sips of spirits."

Slughorn turned cold, and then turned around and smiled again: "Speaking of the umbrella company of the Professor Allen Harris family, I do n’t know if you know it clearly, the Hermione in front of you Miss Lanjie is its helm. In addition, since I have been teaching these years, she is the second witch to receive my spiritual agent award, which is very good. "

Hermione, who had been spotted again, was not as panicked as she was the first time. She just responded with a smile and didn't say anything.

"So, Miss Granger, where are your parents in the Muggle world?" Slughorn leaned his arms on the table, folded his hands together in front of him, and asked Hermione with a happy face.

Hermione froze for a moment, but said confidently to her proud parents: "My parents are both dentists."

Except for Draco, whose face turned pale due to bad memories, most of the pure-blooded students here either did not know what the profession of dentistry was, or they stayed part-time as a barber. .

Like the twin sisters in the second grade, her gloomy eyes turned to Hermione at the same time. Although she could not talk about discrimination, she was still waiting for her further explanation.

"It's fun. Is this occupation dangerous?" Slughorn bowed his head blankly, still trying to understand the wrinkles on his forehead, and McLagen next to him looked a little bit confused as he looked.

"Not really." Hermione's eyes caught everyone's reaction on the table. Harry, who had been living in the Muggle world before entering Hogwarts, could not help laughing because of these silly expressions of pure blood. Sirius ’s teaching of Animagus did not immediately ask them to hold Mandela ’s single leaf in his mouth for a month. He had to give the children enough theoretical knowledge to make them confused. Only after asking questions clearly, can they begin to prepare. He didn't want his godson to experience an accident that only half of his body changed during the transformation or what animal became non-human.

The scene was a bit embarrassing at the moment. Allen who had been getting some pineapple preserves for her younger sister was relieved: "Like our therapist, Muggles are actually more meticulous in medicine. You can treat your dentist It is understood as a therapist specializing in the treatment of teeth. In addition, Muggle hairdressers will not mention tooth extraction and amputation hundreds of years ago. Even if you do not take Muggle research courses, you should go to read related books. "

"I think it's dangerous ..." Draco mumbled over his teeth treated by Hermione's father at the time, and the sound of the electric drill in the frightening memories made him phantom pain.

"It was just a boy named Robin Sink who took a bite from my dad." Hermione laughed as she said, "It made him sew ten stitches."

Marcos also stopped his knife and fork reaching out to dessert. All the wizards who had lived in the magic world since childhood were a little confused. What did it mean to sew ten stitches? They could not judge the injury, let alone a bite. Ten stitches, what is this concept? Zabini coughed softly and couldn't help touching his nose,

"Yeah, Zabini, because you are so talented ... in pretending ..." An angry female voice came from the other side of Horace.

Slughorn glanced at Hermione and Allen in a panic, and found that they did not show any obvious displeasure, then let out a sip, and then turned to look at Ginny who just spoke ... Ginny was across Slug Horne ’s big belly glared at Zabini, and he had to play with a joke to try to ease the atmosphere: "You have to be careful, Brys! I just witnessed this young lady apply a wonderfully wonderful Bat spirit before. Curse! Don't want her if you don't want to be covered with huge bats! "

Bres Zabini did not respond to Ginny ’s satire at this time. He glanced at Hermione apologetically, and was a little annoyed that he used the unconsciously despised Muggle set in Hermione ’s story. The degree is not enough to cause the other party's displeasure.

Seeing the pure-blooded students around was still skeptical, because Ginny, who saved her father ’s life by this technology, immediately began to justify it. "After my dad was attacked last year, the snake's venom prevented his wounds from healing. St. Mungo Hospital used a combination of suture technology and witchcraft to protect my dad from the umbrella. . "

"Ah, I was talking about this new method. I personally went to St. Mungo Hospital to observe it. Although it looks a little scary, it looks like a centipede ... I have to say that this is for some wounds that are difficult to heal due to magic or toxin It works very well. Miss Weasley also invites you to eat more dessert, or Belby will soon eat it up. "Slughorn's eyes stayed on Ginny next to Harry for a moment. He began to smile and picked up a small plate of pie to share with everyone, but somehow missed Marcos Belby.

After asking everyone and complimenting Harry with extra praise, Slughorn began to digress indiscriminately. He recalled the past, and the rest of the banquet time, except for the care of some students , Slughorn began to tell many interesting anecdotes of the outstanding wizards he taught at that time ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Describes that they were glad to join in the part of intercepting his surname when he was in Hogwarts. The organization of the club.

The founder of the slug club, Professor Hollas Slughorn, is so clearly treated differently by the slightly politically shabby little wizards that everyone sitting here must have some way to let He felt that it might be worth associating before being invited.

However, after the inquiry, the details were clarified. Apparently, some people's names have been eliminated from his list. For example, Marcos Belby, who had a bad relationship with his uncle who had a potion master, after reading the conversation, numerous Slughorn's resistance to him was obviously too excessive.

And Lucius Malfoy did not reveal his identity in the Ministry of Magic incident at the end of last semester, so that Draco was repeatedly touted by the other party at this banquet, and even Draco ’s follower Bambres Zabini also got In view of Slughorn's warm hospitality, Zabini's mother was a beautiful witch who had been a widow seven times, and each husband left her with a large legacy after her unexpected death.

However, Slughorn's attitude towards Allen was quite intriguing. He entertained him enthusiastically and kept bringing some dishes to Allen. By describing the background of the special dishes and constantly complimenting but not asking each other at all 'S attitude reveals that he doesn't want to have a deep relationship with Allen.
