Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 1353 Slughorn's Invitation

After breakfast, we all lined up to leave the castle.

Felch, as usual, stood at the Oak Gate, checking the names of the students allowed to go to Hogsmeade Village one by one.

This is a longer time than ever, because, in addition to checking the list, he has to measure it repeatedly on everyone with a detector.

Felch's skeptical expression seemed to carry some dangerous dark magic on the students passing by him.

That detector is a simple version that the Ministry of Magic is using, and Ivan is not sure how much this thing works.

Hermione said that the night of school, Felch used it to check out the dark magic items on the clab belt.

Sounds good, but it definitely didn't detect anything in Ivan's carry-on package.

“I don't understand. What does it matter if we steal the dark magic stuff out?” When it was Ron's turn, he stared anxiously at the elongated detector and asked, "I'm afraid you should check what we brought in? ”

He spoke loudly and was poked a few extra times with a detector by Felch.

When they walked out into the wind and rain and snow, he grinned and grinned. So the detector still works like this...

By the way, today's weather is terrible, and this winter seems to be coming particularly early.

Evan can't even help wondering if Voldemort and Evil God have the ability to influence the climate, otherwise how can we explain this terrible weather?

The walk to Hogsmeade Village was uncomfortable, windy and cold, and rainwater made the temperature low.

Everyone walked together, but nobody spoke.

On the way to Hogsmeade, students can see bending over the top of their waist.

Everyone wrapped their heads around each other with a scarf, and even then, the area exposed to them became numb.

This weather should be condensed in a warm nest or in a warm public lounge, rather than out, and when they finally enter Hogsmeade, the feeling becomes stronger and more or less diagonal, with almost half of the shops in Hogsmeade's village closed, showing an extraordinary depression.

The gates of the first shop in Muraguchi, the most popular joke shop in Zuko, were blocked by boards.

Ivan heard Harry lament that while Fred and George's joke products were very popular, Zoko's joke shop, an old prank supplier, still had a lot of unique merchandise and its doors were unfortunately closed.

Thankfully, the Honeydukes Sweetshop is still open, making their trip less boring.

Without hurrying to split up, the travelers decided to visit the Honeydukes Sweetshop first.

After entering Hogsmeade Village, most of the students wandered towards the crowded little shop.

After a few seconds, everyone was delighted when the warm smell of lactose burst into the air.

“Thank God, this place is amazing, I really want to...”

“Ah, children, I didn't expect to see you here!” A hong bell-like voice behind them said.

It was Professor Slughorn's voice.

They turned around and saw Professor Slughorn. He wore a huge plush hat, a coat with a matching plush collar and a large bag of pineapple candy in his hand, which took up at least a quarter of the store's space.

“Evan, Harry, Hermione, Elaine, what a coincidence to see the four of you here.” Slughorn kindly said, "I don't know if it was intentional, he missed Ron again," and by the way, you four little guys have missed my three little dinner parties in a row! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no ”

Evan never doubted that, but the point is they didn't even talk to the guy who liked Slughorn.

Most of what those people pursue and like is what Ivan and the four of them deny and reject.

God knows how much work they've done over the past month to push Slughorn's invitation away.

Harry's strategy is that every time Slughorn sends him a small invitation with a purple ribbon, he deliberately arranges a team training, whether or not the time and weather are right, which ensures that Ron is not left alone.

Ginny and Elaine can use that pretext as well, but Elaine refuses most of the time directly.

Ivan and Hermione used the pretext of conducting magic studies or simply hiding from Professor Slughorn.

“I know you four are busy, hard at training and learning, the best students in school, but occasional entertainment is harmless and combines work and pleasure. By the way, Elaine, I specially prepared superior dragon blood, the heart and soul of the Black Dragon of the Hittitelli Islands, which is a premium product, not only has a very powerful magic, but also a very tasty flavor, you'll love it, I promise.” Slughorn said, "Well, how about Monday night, I think this weather...”

“Not Monday, Professor. ”

“Harry and I had an appointment with Professor Dumbledore that night to go to him. ”

“Another coincidence!” Slughorn shouted exaggerated, attracting the attention of most of the people in the store, "Ah, well, go to Abbs, but you can't hide from me forever. And the ladies? Hermione, Elaine, are you free Monday night? ”

“Free, free!” Elaine couldn't wait to say that she sucked her nose hard.

This ghost may have been seduced by the black dragon's blood in the Heshti archipelago, which she had previously refused in trouble.

“Oh well, we went to the party on Monday, Professor...” Hermione looked at Elaine and said helplessly.

“That's the deal!” Slughorn said with satisfaction that it seemed like a good start to having Hermione and Elaine at the party.

He waved his hand off the shelf and swaggered out of the candy store.

Until the end, he didn't notice Ron, as if he was just a cockroach pile displayed in the store.

“That's great!” As with the first invitation in the second week of school, Ron became depressed again.

He seemed eager to go to Slughorn's party and thought it was a good opportunity.

Except Elaine still remembered the taste of premium dragon blood, no one had much thought to go on walking. After simply buying some candy, the five of them quickly split up. Ron went to the place where he had an appointment with Lavender, and Harry and the two Cleveland broomsticks he met later in the store.

Ivan, Hermione and Elaine are going to buy dwarf puppets and then go to Pighead Bar to trade contraband...
