Vol 2 Chapter 370: Slug Club

Daphne Greengrass read this letter with some surprise, only to realize that it was a new Hogwarts teacher named "Professor Slughorn" who invited her to lunch on the train at noon.
To be honest, this makes Daphne a little flattered...
After all, an ordinary girl like her has never been treated like this by any teacher before.
But by twelve o'clock, when Daphne arrived at Car C (the place of dinner mentioned in the letter), everything in front of her was a little disappointed because she realized that Slughorn was not the only person invited.
And from the extent of Slughorn's warm welcome, he was far from what he was looking forward to seeing.
At the round table in the carriage, there were already more than a dozen students.
In addition to her, Blaise Shabini, who was in the same grade and college as her, nodded to her, and Daphne nodded in response.
There are also Marcos Bellby in Ravenclaw's fourth grade, Ginny Weasley in Gryffindor's fifth grade, and a few seventh-grade students who she can't name...
But as the finale
It's the "Savior" Harry Potter!
...
Daphne found out that most of the people who came to this carriage had a relationship with an influential figure.
For example, Blaise Chabini, his mother is a well-known little widow; Marcos Belbi, his uncle Damocles Belbi is a very famous potion expert... As for myself, Daphne I guess it was probably because of my mother's light?
Perhaps Harry Potter is an exception, because of the scar, and because of the rumors of the "Savior Star", his fame may be greater than the other people sitting together!
Most of Slughorn’s attention was also on Harry Potter... For the next more than an hour, he kept staring at Mr. Potter and asking him if he wanted to eat something. Roasted quail, and asked him if he wanted some pie...
It can be seen that Harry Potter is also quite embarrassed about this.
It can even be said that "embarrassment" is the theme of this gathering. Especially for Daphne, Professor Slughorn asked about her mother's situation at the beginning, and then he always treated Daphne as airy, almost I haven't talked to her...
While counting the time, he stayed in the carriage for some days.
"I will find Astoria later, and complain about the situation here..." Daphne lowered her head and thought to herself.
But she was taken aback for a moment, remembering that her sister hadn't come to school with her this time, she couldn't help but feel a little urge to cry.
Daphne wiped the corners of her eyes quickly to prevent others in the carriage from discovering.
After lunch, Slughorn began to talk again, telling a lot of interesting anecdotes about the outstanding wizards he had taught back then, telling that they were all happy to join a slug club at Hogwarts...
Daphne was anxious to leave, but she didn't know how to get out without being rude.
When the train drove through a long area of ​​dense fog, a red sunset appeared outside.
Professor Horace Slughorn exclaimed in a fuss: "Oh, it's getting dark! I didn't notice that they turned on the lights!"
"...You'd better go back and change your colonel's robe, otherwise, if your serious time is delayed, Principal Dumbledore will definitely blame me!" Slughorn looked around again.

nbsp;With his permission, the students in the carriage squeezed into the dim aisle one by one.
"Harry... Harry..." Daphne heard Slughorn shouting behind her: "Can I stay for a while? I have something to confirm with you!"
Daphne only saw Harry Potter stop awkwardly and politely.
But then, Slughorn’s voice came from behind again:
"Miss Greengrass, and you... Could you please stay in the carriage for a while?"
...
It took a while for Daphne to react, and Professor Slughorn called his name.
She stopped in astonishment, and she didn't quite understand why Slughorn would call herself at the end of the party?
The others left in turn; soon, apart from Slughorn, she and Harry Potter were the only two left in the carriage.
"Sit down, sit down!" Slughorn said casually, "I just want to ask one or two questions, it won't take too long..."
Daphne and Harry Potter looked at each other awkwardly. Due to the tension between Gryffindor and Slytherin, they had barely met before.
Slughorn looked at Harry first. He lowered his voice and asked softly: "Harry, I want to ask about Mr. Jon Hart?"
"Jon..." Harry's gaze couldn't help but stunned: "He was dead a year ago... I saw ~EbookFREE.me~ Wormtail killed him.
"Oh, is it... Are you sure that he was the one who died?" Slughorn murmured.
"Professor, what do you mean?" Harry frowned slightly, "Of course it was him. I saw it with my own eyes..."
"Okay, Harry... OK, thank you!" Slughorn interrupted Harry Potter's words with a smile: "I just asked casually."
"Then can I leave, Professor?" Harry asked tentatively.
"Of course!" Slughorn nodded hastily.
Harry Potter hurried away, and now only Slughorn and Daphne Greengrass were in the carriage.
For some reason, Daphne felt a little scared.
"Miss Greengrass, you should know the real situation of Mr. Hart, right?" Slughorn asked in a lower voice: "I have inquired with someone, you are very close to him..."
"No... I'm not... I don't..." Daphne could not help blushing and quickly argued.
She only felt that she was terrible now, even though she refused with her mouth, no matter her tone or expression, she had completely sold Jon.
"I think you should have a way to get in touch with him!" Slughorn apparently knew everything from the little girl's performance, and his voice became as small as a mosquito: "I need you to help me send him a letter , The content is about..."
Slughorn's voice was getting lower and lower, and he couldn't hear him at all.
...
Until a few minutes later, Daphne, who looked bewildered, "escaped" back to her previous compartment.
"Hurry up and change clothes, Daphne." Millison Birds on the side reminded: "The train will arrive at school soon."
