When he heard the name of Voldemort, Slughorn made a shock.

"Why do you want to do the devil whose name cannot be mentioned?" he asked hesitantly.

"The vampire clan in Slytherin has a magic that will make Voldemort's power stronger." Avon said, "He is going to use this magic. If it succeeds, no one will be his opponent."

"How could there be such magic?" Slughorn couldn't believe it. "What is it?"

"It's like a black magic that transforms the body and soul, but it's more evil..."

"My God, a more evil and powerful black devil?"

"Yes, Professor, are you ready to hide in this life?"

Slughorn didn't answer. He went out for a while and seemed to be carefully testing what Evan said.

"I don't think Voldemort can beat Dumbledore." Harry suddenly said, "No matter what he finally becomes, as long as Dumbledore is the principal, Hogwarts will be safer than anywhere else."

"It is said that Voldemort is only afraid of him alone, even if he was the strongest before he did not dare to approach Hogwarts, isn't it?" Hermione asked.

"There is this, Dumbledore is the only feared wizard of Voldemort." Ai Wen nodded.

Another silence, Slughorn sighed heavily.

"Oh, probably, the devil who can't even mention the name has never dared to compete with Dumbledore." He muttered reluctantly, "but if he becomes more evil and powerful..."

"Voldemort may be more powerful than Dumbledore, but will never defeat him." Avon said, "Not to mention, we will stop Voldemort, stop him from successfully casting that magic, and find ways to defeat him."

"Don't always call his name, don't you know, did he apply magic on this name?" Slughorn said dissatisfied. "This will make him feel that we are here..."

"What about that? He didn't dare to come at all." Ai Wen said disdainfully. "The name of Voldemort is the first step in courage to overcome him. There are many people who can do it. Be brave, professor. ""

"You are really brave, but it is not wise." Slughorn thought for a while. "But you are right, Hogwarts is indeed the safest place at the moment. I think since I did not join the death Disciples, the devil who can't even mention the name can't treat me as a friend... In that case, I would be safer to stay with Albus, no matter whether he will become stronger later."

"If you just protect yourself, there is no safer place than Dumbledore."

"Hey, I saw the news of the murder of Amelia Burns. I can't pretend that her death didn't touch me. Think about it. She has so many acquaintances, so much protection, strength in the department. Not weaker than me, both..."

Just then, Dumbledore re-entered the house.

Slughorn was shocked and he seemed to forget that Dumbledore had not left the house yet.

"Oh, you are back, Albus." He said, "Where are you going to go, is it a nasty?"

"No, I just flipped through the Muggle magazines," said Dumbledore. "I like the sweater weaving patterns. They look very warm. Maybe I should weave a sweater like this. Okay, Ivan, Harry, Hermione, we have been harassing Horas for a long time, I think we should go."

"You are leaving?" Slughorn said in surprise.

"Yeah, I think, I can see that the defeat has been fixed. I have not convinced you to return to Hogwarts."

"Well, defeat?" Slughorn looked uneasy. He played with two fat thumbs and watched Dumbledore wrap his travel cloak anxiously. Evan and Hermione also put on their coats, Harry. Pulled on his jacket zipper.

"Oh, I am sorry that you are not willing to accept this job, Horace." Dumbledore said, making a farewell gesture with the hand without the mantra. "If you can come back, Hogwarts will I am very happy. We must know that we have greatly strengthened our security precautions since this year. You are welcome to come and see if you like."

"Okay, no problem, I, hey, you are too polite, I said..."

"That's goodbye," said Dumbledore.

"Goodbye," said Harry.

"Goodbye, Professor!" Hermione waved her hand.

"Goodbye." Ai Wen looked at the anxious sweaty Slughorn, and waved his hand.

When they just walked to the front door, they heard a cry from behind.

"Okay, okay, I am doing it!"

Dumbledore turned and saw that Slughorn was standing in the doorway of the living room.

"Would you like to come back to work?"

"Yeah, yeah," Slughorn said impatiently. "I must be crazy, but that's right, I am willing."

"Great." Dumbledore suddenly liked the color. "So, Hollas, we will see you on September 1."

"Okay, no problem," Slughorn muttered.

When they walked on the path of the garden, there was a voice from Slughorn behind them.

"I will ask for a raise, Dumbledore!"

Dumbledore chuckled softly, and the garden door closed automatically behind them.

They walked down the hill through the dense fog of black pressure.

"You did a good job," said Dumbledore. "Successfully persuaded Horas."

"But we didn't do anything?" Harry said in surprise.

"We just told him about the current situation," said Hermione. "Well, he doesn't look very determined. And he seems to be afraid of Voldemort."

"I am also very interested in the three of us." Ai Wen added, "especially for Harry."

"That's it, you let Horace see how much benefit he can get back to Hogwarts," Dumbledore whispered. "As for his interest in the three of you, um, what do you think of him? ?"

"I am very afraid of death, I am greedy for material enjoyment, I like to show off." Ai Wen said bluntly.

"I think he is still very flattering, except for pure blood," said Hermione. "Although he later explained that he is not a supporter of the pure-blooded idea, he obviously has some sorcerers who discriminate against Muggle-born. ""

Harry agreed to nod and Raghorn was really flattering in some respects.

But as Evan and Hermione said, he seems to be somewhat vain, very fond of material enjoyment, and, although he is talking about another set, he can be a good person for a Muggle-born person. The wizard, showing too much surprise, is very uncomfortable...
