Hogwarts: I'm Cousin Harry

Chapter 452 447. Stop reading, stop reading soon
"If we can recruit such a talent, if we can become a professor for such an outstanding talent."

Dumbledore's voice seemed to float from the sky, whispering in Slughorn's ears.

"Then it's worth dying."

Slughorn blurted out without thinking.

Then he immediately came back to his senses and looked at Dumbledore blankly, his expression suddenly becoming extremely tangled.

If you can invest in such a little wizard who is destined to become a big shot,
If only he could join his own slug club.
If you can make him a disciple, you can teach him what you have learned throughout your life.
Normally, even if Dumbledore didn't come to him, as long as he knew the news, he would try his best to beg to return to Hogwarts to teach.

But it happened to be this time.

When he didn't even have time to escape.

Based on his knowledge of the former student, there was a real possibility that he would be gone if he didn't go to Hogwarts this time.

"you me him."

Slughorn hesitated for a long time without being able to say a complete sentence.

Dumbledore didn't answer, just looked at him quietly.

Dudley felt that he should say something: "Mr. Slughorn, I'm sorry, you are not a professor at Hogwarts yet. I can only call you this. I think you have overlooked one thing. The situation outside is very uncomfortable now." Optimistically, the whole of Romania has become a paradise for Death Eaters, and even Bulgaria next door has not been spared. The Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was closed because of this."

"If there's anywhere in the world that's safe, I think it's at Hogwarts."

"Because there is the only wizard there who can fight against Senior Tom - our Professor Dumbledore."

"Is it so bad outside now? I plan to go to Bulgaria as my next stop."

"Yes, Horace. Principal Karkaroff of Durmstrang recently contacted me. At the beginning of this semester, he will bring a group of students over to temporarily hold classes at Hogwarts."

Dumbledore added.

Slughorn frowned deeply after listening to the news given to him by Dudley and Dumbledore: "You are right. If there is any safe place in this world, then wait Wait, you call him Senior Tom?"

Slughorn looked at Dudley with wide eyes and a look of disbelief on his face, as if he had discovered some shocking secret.

"Albus, did you tell him?"

He saw Dumbledore shake his head at him.

"He guessed it himself."

Dumbledore said this with a smile, and there was a hint of relief in his smile.

There is a successor to Hogwarts.

Not only Dudley, there are many young wizards throughout Hogwarts who can take charge of their own business.

"It's not a big deal, it just took a little bit of investigation to figure it out."

Dudley took the words and wrote a few words in the air with his wand - Tom Marvolo Riddle.

"You and Principal Dumbledore's students more than 50 years ago are also my seniors."

"His mother is Merope Gaunt, and his father is Old Tom Riddle, so he is a mixed-blood wizard. By the way, his father has been killed by him himself."

Dudley retold Voldemort's life one by one and displayed it in front of the two of them.

"I don't think we should be afraid of him, of such a mixed-blood wizard that he himself looks down upon."

"Stop talking, stop talking now."

Slughorn looked at Dudley, who was about to uncover Voldemort's cover, with a face full of horror. He covered his ears as hard as he could and said, "Master, stop reading."No wonder Slughorn would be so frightened. Voldemort would kill someone just because someone disrespected him. Now this is no longer a question of respect, this is Voldemort's deepest secret.

Who doesn't know that Voldemort is a master of Legilimency, and the more he knows about some secrets, the faster he will die.

However, Dudley's words seemed to be cast by magic. No matter how much Slughorn covered his ears or even used aural blockade on himself, they still entered his mind, and he even conceived the scene.
Seeing Slughorn like this, Dudley also stopped talking.

After covering his ears for a long time, Slughorn finally raised his head and looked at Dumbledore.

“Really. Excellent”

"Albus, you win."

Hearing Slughorn say this, Dumbledore finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his goal had been achieved.

He wanted to attract the best professors in the wizarding world to Hogwarts before he left.

This was set up in the script from the beginning.

"So when do we leave?"

Slughorn seemed to be under the Imperius Curse. Not only did he start to pack up his things, his attitude was extremely positive. He even spoke with impatient words, wanting to leave here immediately. He was completely different from before.

"When I bring some boxes of chocolates, these dark snacks taste great."

He has figured out that instead of hiding here, it is better to move to a safe place quickly.

But this was not the main reason. He listened to everything that should be heard and shouldn't be heard. Unless he gave himself a forgetting spell, he would definitely die miserably if Voldemort read these secrets.

No, neither does the Oblivion Curse. Who knows if Voldemort has the ability to read the memories of wizards who have been cast with the Oblivion Curse.

"Albus, although I agreed to go to Hogwarts with you, I have one request."

Slughorn packed everything that belonged to him into a suitcase.

"What is it? Horace," Dumbledore asked.

If the request is not too excessive, he will agree to it.

"I ask for a salary increase. The salary of Hogwarts professors is really too small. It is simply not enough for normal food and clothing."

"Horace, because of the change of trustees, the professors' salaries are three times what they were before."

"Three times?!" Slughorn raised his voice by ten decibels and said with joy: "Albus, you should have told me the news as soon as possible, so that we could save a lot of trouble. "

The first thing I said was that this Slughorn was guaranteed to run faster.

That's all he said.

That's all you hear.

"Tell me which kindhearted school director did it, and I'll see if it's one of my students."

Dumbledore pointed to Dudley beside him and said, "This is Mr. Dursley. By the way, he also has another level of identity, the school governor of Hogwarts."

At that moment Dudley actually saw Professor Slughorn's eyes light up.

He has completely figured it out at this moment. Life is like rape. If you can't resist, just enjoy it silently.

There isn't a wizard in the world who can't get enough of shiny gold Galleons.
