Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Slughorn seems to have a strong commitment to teaching and caging good wizards.

“Sirius was a talented boy, and he and your father were best friends in school, always inseparable, the two best students of the year.” He said, "The Blacks are in our college, and I didn't expect him to be in Gryffindor. Too bad his brother Regulus is in our college, if only I had both of them. ”

Slughorn spoke as if an enthusiastic collector had lost to his opponent in the auction, apparently caught in his memory, looking across the wall, his body lazily spinning in place to keep the whole back warm.

“Of course, there were lots of good seedlings, and as I said before, your mother was the smartest student I ever taught, and she was from Muggle. I couldn't believe it when I found out, and I thought she was so good, she was definitely pure. ”

“Ivan and Hermione are also from Muggle.” Harry said, "These two are the best students in the whole grade. ”

“Well, yeah, sometimes that happens, and pupils from Muggles outnumber purebred pupils.” Slughorn said, looking quickly at Ivan and Hermione again, "that's weird, isn't it? ”

“Not surprisingly.” Harry replied coldly.

“Terrible prejudice.” Hermione said silently, with a hint of determination in his voice.

“Professor, you don't support this ridiculous theory of pure blood, do you?” Ivan asked.

Slughorn was the last dean of Slytherin College to teach Voldemort and the vast majority of the dead.

Perhaps, like them, he is a pureblood admirer.

Paranoid, old-fashioned, stubborn, believing that pureblood wizards should take precedence over others.

“What?”

“I don't think it matters if a student is able to learn magic and his birth, but if an individual works hard.” Evan went on to say, "Perhaps in ancient times, pureblood wizards inherited power from blood, monopolized magic knowledge, and were more powerful than wizards from Muggle, but now this power is exhausted and knowledge is shared, and look at the pureblood wizard families, what is left but a heavy burden? The magic world should break the monopoly of pureblood wizards and enter a new era. ”

Slughorn was somewhat surprised by the reaction of Evan, Harry and Hermione.

“Oh, my God, don't think I'm biased!” He said, "No, no, no! I'm not a supporter of pure blood. ”

“Your attitude makes me doubt that.” Ivan said, looking back at the hallway, "maybe we should leave. ”

“Wait, don't go yet. It's a misunderstanding. I have no prejudice against wizards from Muggles, and Abbs can prove it for me.” Slughorn said, "By the way, Harry, didn't I just say that your mother was one of my favorite students of my life? There is a lower ranking than her, Dirk Chryswell, who is now the director of the Fairy Liaison Office, who is also from Muggle, a highly qualified student who has a good relationship with me and who still regularly discloses valuable inside information to me in the Gurling Palace. Ivan, I know from him the details of what happened to you in Egypt. ”

Without waiting for Ivan to answer, he jumped up with a proud smile on his face.

Slughorn waved, pointing to the many shiny frames on the cabinet, each with a moving little man in it.

“Look at this. These are my old students, all signed photos, and I don't care where I take them. You'll see Banabas Guffy, editor of The Daily Prophet, oh, now editor of The Hogwarts Magic, who's always interested in hearing my insights into the situation. And Ambrosius Froom at the Duke of Bees Candy Shop, who gives me a gift basket every year for my birthday, because I introduced him to Ciceron Haggis, which gave him his first job! And back there, if you stretch your necks, you can see, it's Gwenog Jones, Captain of Hollyhead Hobbies, and people often wonder why I'm so good with Hobbies, and if I want to, I can get tickets that don't cost money, and..."

Speaking of which, he seemed very emotional and wanted to introduce everyone in the picture to them.

Looking at this prominent or well-known wizard, listening to Slughorn describe their relationship with him, you can clearly feel the influence of this old wizard, who, like a spider, is weaving an invisible web.

And Slughorn seems happy to show off these relationships.

“Are these all your students?” Hermione asked.

“Yes, they are all my best students. And of course, there are a lot of people, and I've taught more than that, but this picture wall is so small, I had to put their photos away, and you should really see, when I was on my birthday last year, they gave me a gift that was enough to fill this room. ”

“Sounds good.” Evan said, however, he had no doubt that Slughorn had such influence.

Also the oldest professor, unlike Dumbledore, deliberately marries his own students.

Well, outstanding students and invite them to join his club.

“These people know where to find you. Can I give you something?” Harry asks how he can't help but wonder if Slughorn can be found by a gift basket full of candy, Quidditch tickets, and by those who seek his views and advice.

Harry's problem caused the smile on Slughorn's face to suddenly disappear, just like the blood on the wall.

“Of course not," he said, bowing his head, "I haven't talked to anyone in a year. ”

At one point he looked a little uneasy and shrugged his shoulders.

“But… these days, prudent wizards try not to show their heads. Dumbledore makes sense, and I know what he's doing with the three of you tonight, but coming to Hogwarts at this time is tantamount to declaring publicly that I'm a Phoenix advocate! Although I believe that they are brave and admirable, I do not like mortality very much. ”

“When you come to Hogwarts to teach, you don't have to join the Phoenix Society.” Harry said he couldn't help but laugh, "Most of the teachers in the school were not members of the Phoenix Society and none of them were killed. ”

“Yes, Hogwarts does not equate to Phoenix.” Hermione added.

“Unless, of course, you count Chilo, but he deserves it, because he works for Voldemort. ”

“On the contrary, Hogwarts is now the safest place in the world, and if you read every day's newspaper on time, you will know that Voldemort's return has been in a lot of trouble, with frequent attacks all over the world over the past few months, killing people every day.” Ivan says, "These are all behind Voldemort's scenes. Don't you want to know why? ”
