Chapter 456： ?envy, jealousy, hate

The first party of the Slug Club is over.

Except that Emma had a little accident, the banquet this time was generally considered a success. Thanks to Slughorn’s precise vision, everyone who attended this party met a group or came from each other. Noble, or a companion of exceptional talent.

This is a rare opportunity, whether it is for those wealthy nobles or poor geniuses like Hermione.

The most valuable asset in the wizarding world today is neither powerful spells nor expensive magic materials, but talents!

Whether it is those ancient pure-blooded nobles or hybrid upstarts like Mike, their desire for talent is eternal. Muggle or mixed-born geniuses like Hermione or Harry’s mother are their best. Investment targets, they usually win each other by tilting a large amount of resources, and the most common and ultimate method of wooing is marriage.

Blood relationship or family relationship is always the best weapon for forcing others to stand with oneself, this has been true from ancient times to the present.

But this is also a good thing for those geniuses who are not well-known and are very poor. After all, in this way, they can not only obtain various resources to accelerate their growth, but also obtain a super high social status through marriage. .

Therefore, as an upper-class social tool, the role of the slug club is unquestionable. It not only allows the nobles to quickly get to know those unknown talent seeds, but also allows them to make more efficient exchanges of benefits. Grab more benefits, mutual benefit, and as the founder of the club, Slughorn will also get a lot of benefits and prestige.

This is the ultimate goal he wants to achieve through continuous efforts, and in the current situation, Slughorn has done a good job. Through his years of hard work and the fetters of teachers and students at Hogwarts, Slughorn En's Slug Club has extended its tentacles to all walks of life in the wizarding world of Europe. If you give him some more time, maybe he will be able to create a super club that does not belong to the Extraordinary Apothecary Association or even the Raven Claw!

There are many smart people at Hogwarts who see this, but not everyone in this group is eligible to join the Slug Club.

For example, Drake and Pansy.

Pansy doesn’t mention it. She is very self-aware. With the current decline of the Parkinson’s family, she believes that no matter what Slughorn is, she will not let her join the Slug Club, even though her father was one of them. One member.

So she just complained about it.

But Drake was different. He really couldn’t understand what the old guy Slughorn was thinking about. It didn’t matter if he didn’t invite himself, even he offered to join Slughorn. 'S request was ruthlessly rejected!

Yes, that’s right. On the day after the first banquet at the Slug Club, Draco took the initiative to find Slughorn. After an unpleasant negotiation, Draco went all out. Become a little bit irritated.

Immediately afterwards, Slughorn, the former dean of Slytherin, was boycotted by a group of radical Slytherins headed by Drake. The direct result of this was that Slughorn’s demon The medicine class became a disaster.

"Ah! My potion! Merlin's beard! Who did it!"

In the potions class, accompanied by a huge explosion, the scream of a Hufflepuff resounded through the entire classroom, and everyone including Mike looked over.

I saw that the four-person operating table was in a mess at this time. A tattered crucible was lying on the operating table slantingly, and the hot potion that had not yet been completed was splashed everywhere, that cauldron. The owner of's face was directly poured over his head, and now those areas splashed by the potion have become red, this is burned.

And the three people who were on the same console with him were even more unlucky. Although their injuries were not as serious as that of the man, the aftermath of the explosion of the cauldron also made half of the potions they made completely scrapped!

The area of ​​Hufflepuff suddenly wailed, but the students from other colleges were very indifferent.

No way, this is the tenth crucible explosion accident this month, and they have already taken it off.

There was even a sneer of laughter from Slytherin, among which Draco smiled most proudly, or cast a provocative look at Slughorn.

This action immediately caused dissatisfaction among everyone present. Everyone knew in their hearts that all the crucible explosion accidents must have been caused by the Slytherins. It is the best if the Slytherin's crucible does not explode once. prove!

But helplessly, they didn't have the slightest evidence to prove that this was done by the Slytherins, even if Slughorn had already consciously guarded against the Slytherins from making trouble.

Staring at them angrily for a while, Slughorn reluctantly withdrew his gaze, this time he still did not grasp the opponent's handle.

He quickly waved his wand, and a stream of clear water poured on the bodies of the few Hufflepuffs, washing away the remaining liquid medicine on them.

"You, you and you, send these people to the infirmary, they have serious burns!"

Slughorn gave the order quickly, and the boys who had been spotted stood up immediately, stepped forward and helped the Hufflepuffs to the infirmary.

They were very skilled at this set of movements, after all, Slughorn was the only one who clicked them every time.

Strictly speaking, this will affect their learning, but they enjoy it, because doing this is a bonus.

Then Slughorn quickly commanded the rest of the classroom to start cleaning the console, and when everything was done, it was time for class to end, Slughorn reluctantly announced the end of get out of class. The Slytherins left the classroom arrogantly, and this scene made Slughorn outrageous.

‘Thanks to’ the other party’s small actions, my original teaching plan has been greatly slowed down. If this progresses, the students of this period will not be able to complete this year’s studies at all!

Slughorn secretly made up his mind that he must find a way to show these bear kids a little bit more!

On the other side, Mike and Harry and others also left the classroom early, but instead of returning to the lounge as usual, they blocked the door of the classroom and stared at the passing classmates.

After a while, the person they were waiting for appeared.

I saw Hermione hurriedly walked out of the classroom with a thick stack of books. Her task today is very heavy. Not only must she complete the homework of ancient magic texts, transfigurations and potions, but also preview tomorrow’s Course, you must return to the lounge as soon as possible to start learning!

However, she just stepped out of the classroom door with her front foot, and Mike and Harry drove her up and walked out of the castle.
