Chapter 1205: prom invitation

At this moment, Harry was on his way back to the Gryffindor common room, his steps were light and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Just a few minutes ago, Harry just came out of Professor Slughorn's office. Since the last time he took Felicia and ran to Professor Slughorn's office, Harry's relationship with the potions professor become a lot closer.

Of course, this is also related to Professor Slughorn's desire to "collect" the Savior.

Although the two sides have their own thoughts, the exchange is quite pleasant.

In order to prevent Professor Slughorn from suspecting that his motives were impure, Harry took the initiative to reveal his purpose for coming to him: hoping to obtain buff-type potions such as Felicia, and learned from Slughorn by the way things about your parents.

This approach undoubtedly made Professor Slughorn relax his vigilance, and he was willing to provide Harry with the help he could.

After all, Professor Slughorn could earn a lot of Galleons if he sold Felicia. In fact, he did so. The two parties have reached a preliminary cooperation on the deal of Felicia Felicia. The Order of the Phoenix does not need to worry about not having enough Felicia Felicia for the time being. With Felicia Felicia, life safety can be further guaranteed.

To be honest, Harry had never taken a certain thing so seriously before, even when he participated in the Triwizard Tournament last time, he had never prepared as seriously as he did now.

All this is to destroy Voldemort, and all the efforts are worth it.

"How is it, Harry?"

As soon as she returned to the Gryffindor common room, Hermione put down her quill and came to care about Harry's latest progress.

"It's going pretty well."

Harry looked around the lively common room, but didn't find Ron surprised.

"Rolo is over there, with Lavender." Hermione pointed to the sofa by the fireplace and said to Harry, "Let's go over there and talk!"

Harry followed Hermione to a corner of the lounge and talked about what he had learned from Professor Slughorn today.

"Professor Slughorn has agreed to sell some Felicia, but last time Dumbledore took a batch from him, he needs to re-brew, and we need to pay a deposit to buy the medicinal materials. Of course, there are Compound medicine, I feel that stocking up on more medicines will be safe.”

"That would require a large sum of Galleons, and it would take at least half a year to brew the Feliciant Elixir!" Hermione reminded, frowning.

"I know that Sirius and the others still have some reserves of Felicia, but they can't withstand consumption at all." Harry was well aware of the magical effect of Felicia, and if used at a critical moment, it might be a good thing that could save his life.

Although the amount of Felicia to be used needs to be strictly limited, after learning how to use Albert's Felicia, there is no need to worry about the amount at all, and the Order of the Phoenix's reserves of Felicia are obviously insufficient.

Harry actually didn't mind using part of the inheritance left by his parents in Gringotts to buy Felicia, but Sirius had told Harry that Dumbledore was not short of money.

"I've inquired a lot about my mother from Professor Slughorn, and I can see that he really likes my mother. I think starting from this aspect, the probability of success should be greater." Harry was very clear What should he do to gain the trust of Professor Slughorn, although he doesn't like to please someone deliberately, but in order to achieve certain goals, he knows that he has no choice.

After all, figuring out the exact number of Horcruxes was more important than anything else, and that was a task assigned to him by Dumbledore. Harry had to complete it no matter what, and he didn't want to disappoint Dumbledore.

"By the way, this Christmas, I plan to give Slughorn a box of candied pineapple. You know, he likes others to give him presents." After Harry finished speaking, he looked at Hermione, and saw that the other party was listening to him carefully. , then lowered his voice and continued.

"Next, I plan to continue to get some information about my parents from him, and then I will bring a bottle of wine to visit him on his birthday. I think with the help of the Felicity Elixir, the probability of success should not be too low."

"Any suggestions from Albert?"

Hermione also felt that Harry's plan was fine, but many times the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and Harry obviously didn't have much time to try, it's best to succeed once.

"Albert also agrees with my plan. As for the suggestion, he thinks that if the plan fails completely, he will forcibly drag Professor Slughorn into the water." Harry looked around, and after making sure no one was eavesdropping, he lowered his voice and said, "Let's I told Slughorn that Voldemort is not far from death, they need that part of the memory, and he thinks that if he uses the Felician properly, he will definitely be able to succeed."

When Harry mentioned Albert's suggestion, he couldn't help feeling a little helpless.

"It's really simple and rude." Hermione was also a little surprised, and she couldn't help but doubt the feasibility of Albert's suggestion. After all, if a direct showdown would work, Dumbledore would have persuaded Professor Slughorn to hand over that part of the memory, instead of Send Harry to contact the other party to try to get this part of the memory.

But sometimes Hermione actually believed in Albert's judgment more than herself, because that man had almost never made a mistake, which was why many people were willing to believe him.

"By the way, Harry, have you found a partner yet?" Hermione asked suddenly, changing the subject.

"No, you know, I'm not really that interested in the Yule Ball."

Harry noticed that Hermione changed the subject, so he took the initiative to follow the other's topic. When he looked up, he saw several girls walking towards him, the girls who were trying to get Harry to invite them to the dance.

Harry got up to run away, but Hermione stayed behind.

"What about you?" Harry looked at Hermione reproachfully, knowing he couldn't escape.

"I haven't either." Hermione shrugged and said, "You know, I originally planned to bring Ron, but he is getting along with Lavender now, if I invite him, maybe Lavender will Germany misunderstood and made them very unhappy."

"I think we could go together," Harry said to Hermione, raising his voice deliberately, "and save us the trouble of finding a partner."

However, this obviously still cannot drive away those enthusiastic girls.

"It seems that you have been impatient with those girls recently." Hermione smiled and watched Harry politely reject those girls, "I told you to find a dance partner in advance."

"Well, Hermione, maybe we can pretend to go together, since you're not looking for a partner anyway."

"It depends on the situation, if you really can't find anyone." Hermione hesitated, still feeling that it would be a waste of the partner quota for the two of them to go together, and...

"What are you worried about?" Harry asked puzzled after confirming that the girls had left.

"Nothing." Hermione shook her head.

"Okay, Hermione, don't make me guess, just say it, the riddle man Albert is enough to bother people." Harry urged.

"We have to think about that idiot Ron." Hermione reminded helplessly. She didn't really mind going with Harry, she couldn't find a partner anyway, but Hermione had other things to think about.

Harry fell into a brief silence. He actually saw that Ron liked Hermione, but Hermione obviously only regarded Ron as a good friend, just like her relationship with herself.

"You're right, Ron is such an idiot!" Harry sighed softly, "Then you want to invite him to the Yule Ball?"

"Forget it, I don't want to be entangled by Lavender." Hermione shrugged, "If I have no choice, I would rather invite Luna."

"You take good care of Luna, I thought you hated her." Harry looked at Hermione in surprise, but he knew that Hermione and Luna had nothing in common.

"I don't hate her." Hermione directly denied, "It's just that it's hard for us to have common topics, but recently we have common topics again."

"I know you Hermione."

Harry knew that Hermione didn't really like Luna very much, they were not compatible. He even thought that Hermione would be willing to take the initiative to help Luna have a relationship with Albert.

"You can take Ron, and I'll help you take Luna." Harry suggested

"Oh well."

Hermione hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement with Harry's suggestion, "I'll go and talk to Luna about it, Ron and you can handle him yourself."

"It's easy!" Harry said confidently. "I'll go find Ron right away."

"You're going to invite me to Professor Slughorn's Yule Ball?"

Ron seemed to suspect that he heard it wrong, he frowned and reminded: "But Harry, no boy will invite another boy to be a dance partner, if this news spreads in Hogwarts..."

"I know." Harry interrupted Ron impatiently: "I just wanted to ask if you would like to attend Professor Slughorn's Yule Ball."

"Of course I do." Ron shrugged. "No one wants to go to the Christmas banquet, but I don't think it's appropriate to be your dance partner. It will make us the laughing stock of the whole school."

"Hermione didn't invite her dance partner either." Harry explained to Ron how he would invite him to the dance without becoming the laughing stock of the school. "She originally wanted to invite Luna, and Hermione will invite you when the time comes, and I will help you." She invited Luna."

"It's incredible that Hermione wants to invite Luna, I thought Hermione didn't like Luna?" Ron was very surprised when he heard Harry's words.

"Probably because of Albert's relationship, Hermione seems to take special care of Luna." Harry actually felt that Hermione liked Albert, but he just didn't want to admit it.

Of course, it's useless even if you admit it. After all, Albert is already married, which is even more desperate than when he liked Qiu Zhang back then.

"She's going to invite the crazy girl," Ron muttered.

"Crazy girl? I think she's nice too, very funny."

"You don't like her, do you?" Ron stared at Harry with wide eyes.

"Put away your silly thoughts." Harry interrupted, "Anyway, remember to keep this matter a secret."

After Harry told Ron, he went back to the dormitory to get his homework. As much as he hated it now, Harry knew he had to find time to do the homework.

However, the news that Harry invited the crazy girl Luna to Professor Slughorn's Christmas ball was still leaked out, and for some reason, the whole school knew about it.

Many girls who tried to participate in the Yule Ball through Harry almost cried because of the news. They really couldn't understand why the famous Harry Potter would choose a crazy girl as his dance partner, so that they would be attracted to his own charm. Doubts arose.

However, the news that Ron was invited by Hermione had some new twists and turns. It is not known who disclosed the news. It is said that Lavender had a quarrel with Ron after he learned about it. As for whether they broke up, it is not known.

"So, you broke up?"

Harry suspected that Ron had deliberately revealed the news to Lavender. If he wanted to use this to get rid of him, this time would undoubtedly be a good opportunity.

"Not yet, I hope to be separated from Lavender." Ron was a little depressed, and seemed unwilling to talk about it with Harry.

"I thought you liked Lavender." Harry raised his eyebrows slightly, and led Ron to the place agreed with Hermione.

"And you?"

Ron was silent for a moment, trying to change the subject.

"Me? You mean girlfriend?" Harry asked back.

"I remember you used to like Ravenclaw's Cho Chang," Ron said tentatively.

"Yeah, but I don't like it anymore, and Qiu also has someone I like, so I simply gave up. After all, I have my own things to be busy." Harry did not shy away from talking about the fact that he once liked Qiu Zhang. The thing, to him it was just a trivial thing, it didn't matter anymore.

"What now?"

"I don't have time to fall in love now. Killing Voldemort is my first priority now." Harry shrugged, "Although it is difficult, I have no way out, after all, Voldemort has already determined that I am his enemy , he will definitely find a chance to kill me himself."

Hearing Voldemort, Ron had some unusual reactions and looked worried.

"Hermione she..."

"Hermione is going to help me, we all put the elimination of the mysterious man as the first priority now." Harry said calmly.

"Harry, this way..."

They found Hermione and Luna waiting nearby when they made their way to the marble steps ~www.NovelMTL.com~.

"Thank you for inviting me to the Yule Ball, Harry." Luna greeted Harry happily in a gown trimmed with silver sequins.

"No, I should be thanking you and Mr. Lovegood for supporting me. I don't know if Hermione has mentioned another thing to you." Harry looked sideways at Hermione as he said.

"Hermione told me, and I have already written to my family." Luna nodded to show that she knew.

"The era of turmoil that Albert thinks is coming, it is unwise to support me now." Harry said to Luna: "Sooner or later, the Death Eaters will find trouble with Mr. Lovegood, so I think he is very It is necessary to protect yourself and your safety."

"You've changed a lot, Harry!" Luna looked Harry up and down.

"I know, but some things need to be changed. If you are too naive, you will suffer a lot. This is something I learned from Albert." Harry shrugged and said that he had indeed changed.
