Chapter 532 Easter Dinner
·
Nian Gao Pei Ma Tuan
As the plan was finalized, the countdown to the decisive battle with Voldemort quietly entered.
But the key figure Harry had no idea about this, and Dumbledore finally accepted Glenn's suggestion and kept everything hidden.
Compared with the days in the original book where he had to worry about everything and worry about the world before he did it, now he looks like an idle rich second generation, and everything has been arranged by Glenn and Dumbledore.
Since Slughorn arrived at Hogwarts half a year early, Harry did not get the Half-Blood Prince's "Advanced Potions Guide" with plug-ins, but this did not prevent him from becoming the core of the Slug Club. The two titles of "The Boy Who Lived" and the "Savior Star" that were recently circulated in the "Daily Prophet" were enough to make the old slug want to hold him in the palm of his hand.
The seemingly ordinary days flew by under the turbulent tide, and time soon came to the Easter holiday.
News came from Mr. Carmichael that a group of strange people suddenly appeared near Gringotts. They did nothing every day, just staying not far away, and their eyes intentionally or unintentionally walked in and out of every Gringotts. Scanned the people in the pavilion.
Even though they were acting secretly enough, the clues were still noticed.
Glenn knew clearly. It seemed that Professor Snape's false news had been spread back, and Voldemort had begun to strengthen his protection of Horcruxes.
While Easter is also a holiday, it's far less relaxing for most Hogwarts students.There are only the last two months of the semester, and even the first-year students have been forced to assign a lot of homework by their professors, not to mention Harry and others who are about to receive their O..Ls.
But for Slughorn, this is obviously less of an issue than his club.
Since it was already past Christmas when he took office, he naturally arranged the most important dinner of the Slug Club every year during the Easter holiday.
Slughorn obviously put a lot of thought into this banquet, and specially invited many "big people", as well as previous graduates he had taught. Most of these people now have successful careers and are well-dressed. Bright.
He also made a point of telling members that they could have a friend as a guest at the party, just like the Christmas ball a year before.Most of the club members were full of praise for this decision. The minds of adolescent boys were firmly manipulated by the old slug.
Of course, not everyone was so excited, and some people, like Harry, had a huge headache.
Since the ball, his relationship with Ginny had become much closer, and it seemed that only the last layer of window paper had not been broken.Ginny didn't go out on dates with Dean and Michael Corner like in the original book. Everyone except Ron, who had basically a negative emotional intelligence, saw the ambiguity between the two.
Therefore, when Slughorn mentioned the banquet, he almost did not hesitate to invite Ginny, even though she was also a member of the Slug Club. After all, the old Slug never said that she could not be invited. are other members.
His trouble was that the news that guests could be invited to the party had somehow spread, causing the Potter fan club to reappear at Hogwarts.
Every time he appeared, a large group of girls from various colleges and grades would appear nearby, all dressed up in fancy clothes, pretending to be a chance encounter and passing by him.
Not only that, he also has to be on guard against all kinds of love potions. Even the pumpkin juice on the auditorium table seems unsafe.
In his own words, "I'm afraid I'll have to drink from my own bottle like Mad-Eye..."
There is no doubt that these love potions were made by Fred and George. Hermione often used her identity as a prefect to argue with them, but she was unable to figure out their elusive sales channels.
However, the twins were also conscientious and gave Ginny several free antidote to the love potion, so that Harry would not suffer the consequences of other girls if he fell into the trap.Although the two of them never took Ron seriously, they still loved Ginny, their little sister.
Compared to Harry, Glenn's situation is much better. After all, he spends all day and night with Qiu. Even if those girls have thoughts about him, they don't care.
I'm not too embarrassed to poach someone in person.
The only thing that made him helpless was that Slughorn did not accept any excuses this time and insisted that he must attend the banquet with a strong attitude. He even went out of his way to promise when he and Dumbledore invited him together.
On the day of the dinner, Slughorn's office was decorated again, with brilliant candlelight, shining golden chandeliers, and a professional band playing non-stop melodious music. The scene was far superior to the last welcome banquet.
Due to the large number of people, the setting this time was no longer a round table, but more like a Western-style cocktail party.There were two rows of buffet tables along the wall, and house elves were walking among the crowd holding huge silver disks with various drinks on them for guests to take as they pleased.
"You're late again, Glenn!"
Slughorn feigned anger and grabbed Glenn, who had just entered the door and had not yet understood the situation, and pulled him and Qiu together to a group of old wizards holding pipes. Harry and Ginny were also here.
Unlike Mundungus, the pipes of these people are more exquisite than the last, and they use the best tobacco. Not only does it not have the pungent smell, but it has a faint sweet aroma. Although the smoke is lingering, it still has a sweet aroma. Not to the point of being disgusting.
"Let me introduce it to you!" the old slug said enthusiastically, "This is the little Mr. Ollivander I always mentioned to you, the youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin in history, and the most outstanding student at Hogwarts. Even Dumbledore was full of praise for him!"
"Oh! I heard Gsilda mention him. She was responsible for supervising the child's Charms and Transfiguration. I heard from him that it was the best performance he had seen since Dumbledore." A The oldest looking wizard praised.
"Professor March Ben received the award..." Glenn quickly said modestly, "Compared with Professor Dumbledore, I'm still far behind!"
"This kid is always so humble!" Slughorn patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "These are all my old friends, there is no need to be so restrained."
He introduced several people around him to Glenn. Without exception, they were all well-known big shots. The old man who just praised Glenn was an elder member of the Wizengamot. Even old Ollivander greeted him respectfully when he saw him. Mr. One Sound.
This is obviously the core area of the banquet. From time to time, people come to toast and stay for a few words.
"This is also one of my students back then, Barnabas Guffey, the editor of the Daily Prophet." Slughorn introduced again, "Let's meet Harry, Barnabas is early I just want to do an exclusive interview with you!"
But the key figure Harry had no idea about this, and Dumbledore finally accepted Glenn's suggestion and kept everything hidden.
