The content of today's speech was precocious and he could understand its meaning and warned some students who were blindly seeking power.
Tom also asked his seniors afterward, and they told him sternly that the pursuit of strength and power was their natural ambition. It was also true that dark magic was dangerous. Reading the dark magic books at Hogwarts required approval from teachers.
That’s it.
Today's lesson made it difficult for Tom Riddle to sleep well again tonight.
Another person who was in a very bad sleep state was Horace Slughorn, the Herbology teacher at Hogwarts who liked to befriend powerful and gifted students. It was he who inadvertently told the young Lord Voldemort drunkenly in the future.
Revealed about the function of Horcruxes.
Later, during school, Voldemort used his intelligence and knowledge to deceive Helena, then obtained Ravenclaw's golden diadem from her and made it into a Horcrux. Helena was very angry when she found out but had no choice but to do anything.
In addition, she did something wrong again, which caused Helena to blame herself even more and become even more silent.
Horace Slughorn wanted to establish a good relationship with Garfield when he heard that Garfield was coming. However, except for Garfield being present every day when eating, he was not in his office most of the time. Because Garfield
His residence was kept secret, and only Dumbledore and Principal Armando Dippet knew about it, so in order not to appear too abrupt, he did not choose to disturb Garfield during meals or when Garfield was sleeping.
Now, Garfield's lecture taught a lot of simple and easy-to-understand principles, especially the attitude they should have in their pursuit of management strength. Horace Slughorn felt that Garfield was very wise, and he should be more
Need to meet with him in private.
Horace Slughorn knew that if he went directly to Principal Dippet to inquire about Garfield's residence, he would inevitably be rejected by Dippet, so he might as well go to Dumbledore, with whom he was close, to inquire about the situation.
He did what he said, and Horace Slughorn, who couldn't sleep, finished his night patrol, took a bottle of good wine and walked out to talk to Dumbledore.
Walking in the empty Hogwarts, except for some murals of night owls and the ghosts of Hogwarts wandering around taking over part of the inspection work, everyone else has fallen asleep.
Horace Slughorn was also a little uneasy on the way. Everyone knew what was going on with Dumbledore and Grindelwald. He went there late at night with a drink, and you said what to do if someone gossiped about you.
Thinking of this, Horace Slughorn stopped. He looked at where he was. He had already walked more than half the distance. If he went back again, how could he know where Garfield lived and how he could communicate with him?
What about making friends?
Your own reputation is always more important than the little goal that scratches your itch in your heart.
Horace Slughorn thought it should be the latter. In order to embolden himself, Horace Slughorn encouraged himself in a low voice: You can do it, come on,
"Professor Horace Slughorn, what are you doing here?"
A milky-white ghost floated over from the nearby corridor
Horace Slughorn took a closer look and saw that it was Nick from Gryffindor House at Hogwarts. Nick's full name was Nicholas de Mimsy Porpington, and he was the resident ghost of Gryffindor. Your own inspection work.
Horace Slughorn: "Nick, I can't sleep. I went to meet an old friend for a drink and a chat."
Nick stared at the wine in Horace Slughorn's hand and said helplessly: "Well, I haven't had a drink in many years. To be honest, I have almost forgotten the taste of it. Now I even feel like Was the choice I made back then a mistake?"
Horace Slughorn thought for a while and answered Nick: "Sometimes we always regret because of the things we have done before, but if you think about it carefully, this kind of life is not bad."
Nick shrugged: "Maybe, Professor Slughorn, you continue to enjoy the bar, while I continue to inspect the castle."
Horace Slughorn lowered his head to say goodbye to Nick and continued walking in the direction where Dumbledore lived. Nick drifted for a while and looked back at the direction where Horace Slughorn was walking.
"Is this Horace Slughorn also looking for Dumbledore?"
Nick seemed to have figured out something, a strange look appeared on his face, and he muttered to himself: "Poor Mag"
After a busy day, Dumbledore was ready to take a rest, but the job in his hand did not allow him to take a rest so early every day. Now, Dumbledore occasionally regrets that he might have had a slightly easier life if he was not working in the Ministry of Magic. .
If it weren't for myself and Grindelwald...
Alas
What has been done has been done. In fact, it is not bad to occasionally get some gossip inside and outside Hogwarts.
Hey hey hey
When Horace Slughorn walked to the door of Dumbledore's room, he felt a burst of cold air behind him. He turned his head and saw that there was no one behind him, and felt a chill.
"Maybe it's because the weather is cold"
Dong dong dong
Horace Slughorn knocked at the door three times and then called softly: "Albus, are you asleep?"
Dumbledore walked to the door in his nightgown, stretched out his hand to open the door, and saw Horace Slughorn. When he saw Horace Slughorn shaking up the bottle of wine in his hand, he suddenly understood.< /p>
He knew very well what kind of character Horace Slughorn was. He took out a bottle of good wine and came to visit late at night for other reasons. At present, Hogwarts can make Horace Slughorn shed some blood. Of course there is only one special orange cat.
"Horace, it's rare that you got a bottle of good wine"
Faced with Dumbledore's teasing, Horace Slughorn knew that Dumbledore had seen through his purpose, but if he didn't reveal it, we were still good friends, right? Besides, teasing between friends was normal.
Don't think that in the sixth plot, Dumbledore only took Harry there to invite Horace Slughorn, who has been avoiding Voldemort, to come out. Dumbledore's friendship also plays a big part. p>
Horace Slughorn smiled slightly: "Abufu, you are indeed so smart. You can see through my purpose at a glance, but let's drink first."
Dumbledore did not refuse Horace Slughorn. He invited Horace Slughorn in, took out two wine glasses and sat down with them.
After opening the wine cork, Dumbledore and Horace Slughorn smelled the aroma of old wine, and saliva flowed from the corners of their mouths.
“Good wine”
"Yeah"
"Horace, are you worried about being gossiped about?"
"Um...probably not"
Early the next morning, Horace Slughorn felt as he walked into the dining room
