Vol 2 Chapter 331: Unbreakable oath

　　 "Interested, no no no..." Slughorn shook his head quickly, some of the preface didn't follow the words: "I mean... I am still somewhat interested in these antique products..."
　　
When 　　 spoke, his eyes hardly moved away from Jon's pocket.
　　
　　 Judging from the other person's expression, Jon can basically conclude that... he has taken the bait!
　　
　　 "Professor Slughorn, the specific situation is like this." Mrs. Greengrass on the side couldn't wait, she took the initiative to speak: "Mr. Hart would like to ask you a question..."
　　
"Ask questions?" Horace Slughorn's face suddenly changed. He glanced at Diana Greengrass vigilantly, then glanced at Jon, and refused indifferently: " Hmph, I am not a teacher at Hogwarts yet, I want to enjoy a few days of clean life!"
　　
　　 Obviously, Slughorn was more vigilant than Jon and Mrs. Greengrass had imagined.
　　
As the mentor of Tom Riddle, he is also one of the few wizards who knows the true identity of Tom Riddle...Horace Slughorn is very sensitive to his own experiences. One is afraid of Death Eaters. In order to win him over, the second was that he was worried that the Ministry of Magic would
settle the accounts after the fall
... So Mrs. Greengrass had just revealed a trace of her feet and was discovered by him.
　　
　　 Mrs. Greengrass also changed her face, realizing that she had been unhelpful with the words she had just said, and she quickly quietly looked at Jon with a plea for help.
　　
　　 "Yes, it's just about teaching problems." The expression on Jon's face did not fluctuate, and he continued to rummaged in the suitcase without hurried.
　　
　　 Slughorn looked at him with a ugly face, then
　　
　　 "Look at this?" Jon took out a small crystal bottle with clear liquid and handed it to him.
　　
"This is..." The expression on Slughorn's face gradually eased a bit; at the same time, he took out his wand and gently touched the crystal bottle; even poured a drop on his hand and licked it gently Then spit it out again:
　　
"Veritaserum... It looks like a novice work. The feathers of the stun bird have been added a bit more. The bile of the Sri Lankan vulture has not been processed carefully enough, and the heart of the ferret is used, and the heart of the practical stone marten is used The tendon will work better... Honestly, there are many problems!"
　　
　　 has been a potion teacher for decades, and out of his professional attitude, he began to comment on this vial of potion.
　　
　　 put down the crystal bottle again, Slughorn raised his head and glanced at the boy in front of him:
　　
　　 "This is what you deserve?" His voice was a little weird.
　　
　　 "Yes!" Jon nodded.
　　
　　 "Oh, Merlin's beard!" Slughorn looked at Jon carefully with a strange look, and mumbled after a long time:
　　
　　 "How old are you..."
　　
　　 "I will turn fifteen in a few days." Jon said with a smile.
　　
"I'm fifteen years old and haven't passed the owls exam... Although the finished product is relatively rough, it is a great achievement to be able to formulate Veritaserum at this age... Dumbledore's previous evaluation of you is really correct!" Slughorn couldn't help but praised.
　　
Slughorn’s evaluation is correct. This bottle of Veritaserum was the first high-grade potion Jon formulated at the time. The technique was relatively unfamiliar at the time, so it would inevitably be rougher... Ask him to make it now and make it. The effect of the medicine must be much better.
　　
　　 But he obviously won't tell Slughorn, he just needs to use this to make Slughorn pay attention to himself, that's enough.
　　
　　……
　　
"It's far worse than you!" Putting the bottle of Veritaserum back into the suitcase, Jon exclaimed: "When Professor Dumbledore mentioned you, he said that you are a British native. The best potion master of the century...Even Professor Snape, our previous potion teacher, is far from you!"
　　
"Oh, isn't it?" This compliment made Slughorn very useful, and he nodded with a gratifying expression: "I can't tell, Professor Dumbledore still takes me seriously... …No wonder I was invited out of the mountain again this time."
　　
　　 "So with respect to you, I came here specially and want to ask you some advice!" After going around such a big circle, Jon finally said his intention.
　　
　　 "Only the potion problem!" Slughorn said with a straight face.
　　
　　 "Of course... it will only be an academic problem..." Jon smiled and nodded: "Actually, I'm here this time, I just want to have a test with you!"
　　
　　 "Competition...hahaha!" Slughorn laughed and said, "I didn't look down on you, but how old you are, boy..."
　　
"Of course, the test is just talking, the real purpose is to ask for advice... I hope to observe the gap between you and you in the process of preparing the same medicine with you and learn something... After all, I am no longer Hogg Watts is a student, but there are not many plans like this in the future." Jon explained calmly.
　　
Seeing Slughorn's disdainful eyes, he added: "I think you are very interested in the locket I just took out... If I lose, I will give it to you as a bargaining chip. All right!"
　　
　　 Slughorn's breathing gradually became short of breath, and he asked with an awkward voice, "Then what if I lose!"
　　
　　 "To be honest, I didn't expect that I had the possibility of winning... You can just answer one of my questions at that time, academic questions!" Jon said calmly.
　　
　　 Slughorn glanced at Jon alertly. He clearly sensed that there might be a conspiracy in the other party's words...but Slytherin's relic was too attractive to him, and he couldn't refuse it.
　　
　　 What's more, Slughorn was extremely careful about his potion level. He didn't believe that he would lose to a little boy under fifteen.
　　
　　 He nodded: "I agree to your terms...but I can only answer your academic questions. If you ask another question, involving my past or personal, I won't answer it!"
　　
　　 "Of course." Jon nodded: "I can swear, I can even make an unbreakable oath."
　　
"I also suggest that you take an oath." Mrs. Greengrass on the side said with a smile: "In order to prevent Mr. Hart from losing the bill, or taking out a fake and so on, Professor Slughorn. "
　　
　　 "No problem!" Slughorn hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
　　
　　 "Then I will be a witness!" Mrs. Greengrass proactively mentioned.
　　
　　……
　　
　　 Horace Slughorn and Jon Hart held each other's right hands.
　　
　　 And Diana Greengrass took out the wand~EbookFREE.me~ and nodded the head of the wand on the two hands they held.
　　
"Mr. Hart, would you like to have a potion preparation test with me; if you win, give me the Slytherin relic I just saw!" Slughorn asked Tao.
　　
　　 "I do." Jon nodded.
　　
　　 A thin, dazzling tongue of fire sprayed out of the wand, like a red and hot wire wrapped around the two hands they held.
　　
　　 "Professor Slughorn, if you lose, you need to answer one of my academic questions." This time it was Jon's turn to speak.
　　
　　 "I do," Slughorn said.
　　
　　 The second tongue of fire spurted out of the wand, entwined with the first, forming a thin, red chain.
　　
　　 Then he added another sentence: "The questions you asked me are limited to academic aspects and cannot involve my past!"
　　
　　 "I understand." Jon nodded again.
　　
　　 The third tongue of fire spouted from the wand, intertwined with the two in front, and wrapped tightly around the two hands they held together, like a rope, like a fire-breathing snake.
　　
　　 Under the illumination of the three tongues of fire, a smile appeared on the corners of Jon's mouth.
　　
　　Ps: Great news, this chapter says that everything is back, including the previous chapters.
