Chapter 543
Chapter 543 Conversation with Slughorn!!
The dinner party ended hastily, and many of the people invited by Slughorn left Hogwarts with a heavy face, only Trelawney was drunk and crying and laughing, repeatedly saying that she had finally seen the prophecy.
Peter watched this quietly, and it was not long before the prophecy of Dumbledore’s death would spread and those who were still watching would make a choice.
“I’m sorry to mess up your dinner.”
When Peter bid farewell to Flaghorn, he said apologetically.
Slughorn looked at Peter with complicated eyes, and waved his hand weakly, he was also shocked by the prediction of Dumbledore’s death, he had been hiding in Tibet to prevent the Death Eaters from finding him, and finally agreed to allow Dumbledore to come to Hogwarts to teach, also with the idea of relying on Dumbledore.
But now that Dumbledore was dying, he needed to think about how to save himself.
Then he asked again and again, “Peter, did you really see the illusion of Dumbledore’s death?” Could it be that divination is wrong, after all, prophecies are sometimes not very accurate, you say? ”
“Professor, you don’t have to worry too much, the illusion in the crystal ball is just a small fragment of the future, maybe it’s wrong.”
Peter’s eyes flickered, and he smiled comfortingly, “After all, Professor Dumbledore is so powerful that even if Voldemort had done it himself, he would not have been able to kill him, let alone anyone else.” ”
“But Peter… Have you noticed Dumbledore’s right hand lately? ”
Slughorn’s uneasy and worried expression did not diminish, “His right hand seems to be burned!” Potions are my specialty, but I also know a lot about Defence Against the Dark Arts. That’s very serious black magic damage! Would you say it would affect Dumbledore’s strength? ”
Peter looked at the uneasy-looking Potions Professor in front of him and gently comforted, “Professor, you don’t have to worry too much, Headmaster Dumbledore is not so easy to die, and besides, isn’t there still me here, as long as I am here, I will not let Voldemort and the Death Eaters take advantage.” ”
“Yes, I forgot about you, Peter!”
Slughorn suddenly realized, looking at the very young professor in front of him, the heavy stone in his heart finally fell slightly.
Others didn’t know Peter, but he knew Peter’s strength very well.
Slughorn has a wide network of contacts and was born in the Slughorn family, one of the Holy Twenty-Eight Families, so there are many connections with the Death Eaters, and naturally knows that Voldemort has suffered many losses at the hands of Peter.
More importantly, Peter will never die! Even if you are hit by the death curse, you can’t die, this is Peter York’s greatest skill! Slughorn was clear in his heart.
That’s why he’s been so eager for Peter since school started.
Shraghorn’s greatest pride in this life, in addition to the title of Potions Master, is that his vision can easily distinguish the talents of his students, so that those geniuses are encircled in his Slug Club and become the source of his future show off and network.
Peter, on the other hand, was a genius he had never seen in his life, and he even regretted that he had not come to Hogwarts to teach earlier, and if he could pull Peter into his club, it would be the proudest thing in his life.
Unfortunately, now that Peter has graduated and become his colleague, he can only find a way to win over and gain Peter’s favor.
As soon as Peter wanted to say goodbye, Slughorn kept him, knowing that everyone was basically gone, and he hesitated and said, “Peter, I have a student who is a hunter, and I heard him say that there have been traces of phoenixes near the volcanoes of Sicily, and many families have gone there.” You must be mentally prepared, if someone catches the phoenix, it will definitely come to you to ask you about the method of immortality, and even many pure-blood families will unite and use public opinion to force you to hand over the true method of immortality! ”
“The real method of immortality?”
Peter squinted his eyes at Slughorn and said with a smirk, “Didn’t I already publish the method?” Don’t they believe me and think I’m a liar? Professor, do you think so too? ”
Slughorn coughed dryly, his eyes drifting, and smiled awkwardly: “Not that they think it’s fake, but most people think that Peter you should be hiding some important steps.” After all, it is a major matter of immortality, and people who have tried randomly have a miserable end, so many people will be very cautious. ”
Shraghorn approached Peter and quietly asked, “Peter, you see we are all old friends, can you tell me the real way to immortality?” Rest assured, I won’t say anything to the outside world, it’s really not okay, we can make an unbreakable curse! ”
Peter looked at the fat old man with a flushed face, like a sea lion, and said playfully, “Professor, do you want to live forever?” Or do you have a phoenix too? ”
“Of course not! I am very satisfied with my current life, how can I go to Kai to live forever! ”
Slughorn threw his face away with a look of disinterest, “I’m just a researcher who wants to study the mystery of this immortality.” ”
“Of course, if you don’t want to, I won’t force you, after all, this is your secret, and no one else has the right to question it.”
Slughorn secretly looked at Peter’s expression and said.
“The method I published before is true, and there is nothing false about it!”
Peter looked at him with a smirk, then said solemnly and firmly.
“If you don’t believe me, then I can’t help it!”
“I have given you the solution, and whether you can succeed or not is your own business.”
Peter shrugged his shoulders and looked indifferent.
He looked at Slughorn, who had a confused expression, and showed a funny look, “And even if you catch the phoenix, the first thing to consider is how can the phoenix be willing to share the fire of nirvana?” You must know that the fire of nirvana is equivalent to the magic power in the wizard’s body for the phoenix. Do you think any wizard would be willing to contribute their magic? ”
“Can’t you find a way to deprive you of the fire of Nirvana?”
Slughorn said eagerly.
“Deprivation?”
Peter sneered, “When can you easily deprive yourselves of the magic in your own bodies, and then deprive the phoenix of the fire of nirvana?” ”
“So, this method of immortality is useless?”
Slughorn was full of disappointment.
“Not quite,”
Peter smiled and said, “As long as you can make the phoenix very loyal to you, even willing to sacrifice for you, just like my Phoenix Field, share half of the fire of nirvana with you.” Nature can have a permanent lifespan and an immortal body like a phoenix! ”
“Alas, I finally understand why you are willing to share this method selflessly, because the chances of success are so small that they are almost non-existent!”
Slughorn looked at the smiling Peter and sighed, “I almost forgot that you were also a student of Slytherin, and in thousands of years, Slytherin has never had a selfless person.” ”
Peter still grinned, then bid farewell to Slughorn and teleported back to York Manor to spend Christmas with his family…
