Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Slughorn seemed petrified, his forehead covered with sweat, and he opened his mouth for a long time without saying anything.

"You should think about my mother, if not for anyone else," said Harry, and Felix told him what to say at this point, "Professor, don't you want to get rid of the wizard who killed Lily Evans?" , to avenge her?"

"God, Harry, Harry, I think, of course I want to..." Slughorn broke down directly, "I should stop him, I have an obligation to stop him, he was once my student, he became I have a lot of responsibility for becoming what I am today. I have confessed countless times in the night, if I had done more at the beginning, or if I hadn’t that day...wouldn’t things be like this today.”

"If you think you are responsible too, help us stop him, Professor."

"No, no, I, I don't... I can't, I..." Slughorn murmured.

"Are you afraid that he will find out that you helped us?"

Slughorn said nothing, but it was clear that this was what he dreaded.

"Hope you're as brave as my mother, Professor..." said Harry.

Slughorn raised his fat hand and pressed trembling fingers to his tear-soaked mouth.

"Okay." He looked like a huge baby for a moment, and he whispered through his fingers, "The memory you want, I have always been ashamed of what it showed, I feel disgraceful, I may have caused a lot of harm that day..."

"It's just the beginning of the danger, professor, don't forget what I just said." Ivan reminded, "To defeat Voldemort, destroying all Horcruxes is the first step. Your memory is especially important. If you feel Shame, that offsets everything by handing it to us, on the contrary, it is very brave and noble, and we will be proud of you."

Hagrid twitched in his sleep and continued to snore.

Slughorn, Ivan, and Harry looked at each other through the tearful candle, and the silence lasted for a long time.

He seemed to have calmed down, Ivan didn't speak again, and Felicia told Harry not to break the silence and wait a little longer.

Finally, very slowly, very slowly, Slughorn reached into his pocket, drew his wand, and with his other hand fumbled a small, empty bottle from under his cloak, and, still looking Harry in the eye, put his wand The tip was pressed against the temple, and then removed.

A long strand of silver-like memory emerged from the tip of the stick, which stretched longer and longer until it finally broke, with silver light floating on the tip of the stick.

Slughorn put it in the bottle, and the silver coiled and unrolled, swirling like gas.

He corked the cap tightly with trembling hands and handed it to Harry across the table, as if with all the strength in his body.

"Thank you very much, Professor."

"You're a good boy, Harry," said Slughorn, tears streaming down his plump cheeks and into his walrus whiskers again. "You have eyes like hers. think too badly of me..."

"I know, Professor!" said Harry softly.

"And you, Ivan, I always knew you were as brave as Harry, far braver than me, I never had the courage to fight him, I was afraid of death, power, that kind of evil, I chose But I don’t want the terrible things you said to happen, if this is the future I’m about to face, I will choose to join the fight, for, for…”

He didn't finish speaking in the end, because of the effect of alcohol, he put his head in his arms, sighed, and fell asleep!

In the hut, there was only a long silence and dim candlelight flickering.

Chapter 1458 Drunkenness

Ai Wen leaned back in the chair and breathed a sigh of relief, and finally got the memory.

Regardless of whether what Slughorn just said was sincere or alcohol-induced impulse, they are very gratifying, and they are one step closer to victory.

Ivan calculated that this memory of Slughorn was enough for Dumbledore to collect all the information about Voldemort, and he could also discuss the next plan with Dumbledore and participate in his ongoing secret with Slytherin Treasure-related plans are underway.

"Come on, let's go back!" he said, rising from his chair. "Harry, put away the memory bottle, we'll go to Dumbledore tomorrow. I don't think we need to go and tell him in person that he should It didn't take long to know we had the memory."

In fact, maybe Dumbledore is currently on his way back to Hogwarts, and he is more sensitive to this kind of news than he imagined.

"Yeah!" Harry nodded and said, "It's just that, I think the effect of Felicia is gone."

"Really? I hope our luck won't get too bad in the future."

The disappearance of the effect of the Felicity Elixir meant that they lost the protection of the god of luck.

Soon, Ivan felt the long-lost trouble.

He had just been concentrating on persuading Slughorn and ignoring Elaine.

The child secretly drank a lot of wine, obviously getting excited...

She was sitting quietly on the chair at first, when Ivan called her, she raised her head, her normally fair and bloodless little face was almost as red as her eyes, not pure red or an unhealthy red , but a blush.

This makes Elaine look like a normal human girl, not a delicate china doll.

She does look cuter this way, Ivan thought suddenly, a little distracted.

Cute, but still trouble, a big trouble.

"Go, Elaine!"

"It's time to go back?" She stood up staggeringly, "It's time to go back, I'm full, these milks taste weird."

"It's not milk you're drinking, it's wine. My God, you drank so much!"

Ivan glanced at Slughorn and Hagrid who were sleeping soundly on the table, and the empty wine bottle.

The rest of the wine was filled with refill spells, and the first two bottles were brought by Slughorn, one of which was given to Hagrid, and the other was given to each of Slughorn, Ivan, and Harry. After pouring a glass, Elaine drank the rest by himself.

It was terrible, she drank a lot!

"It turns out that this is the smell of wine, um, why does my body feel weird, it's so hot!"

"Elaine, are you drunk?!" Ivan hurriedly supported her.

"Not drunk, but still sober."

If you are still sober in this state, people who generally say that they are not drunk are probably drunk.

The alcohol Slughorn brought was very strong, and even Hagrid's body was obviously drunk after drinking a glass, let alone Elaine's small body.

"Oh, if you're not drunk, let's go back, don't let Hermione..." Ivan said carefully.

He thinks it's better not to provoke this guy at this time, and wait until he returns to the common room.

When she was making trouble, she would go back to the dormitory to make trouble with Hermione, and it had nothing to do with him.

He was interrupted by Elaine before he finished speaking!

"I'm really not drunk, Ivan, I just feel very excited, like, like..." She suddenly opened her mouth and bit Ivan, and took a hard bite.

She didn't use those two sharp canine teeth, so Ivan's skin wasn't bitten, but it still hurt.

Aiwen hurriedly pulled Elaine away, looking at the row of teeth marks on his left arm.

He wants to cry but has no tears, so he is still not drunk? !

Some people will sleep when they are drunk, some will sing, some will chat, and some will be drunk... There are all kinds of things. This is the first time Ivan saw someone who bit someone while drunk, This is not a good habit, but Elaine usually has his impulses.

"Hey, I don't know why, I just want to bite you all of a sudden." Elaine said with a smile, looking at the helpless Ivan, "Anyway, this is how I feel now, not drunk, but excited! Stretch your arm over , Aiwen, I promise I don’t use force for a while, don’t bite it, just hold it.”

"Don't bite me, I have a lollipop here, you hold it." Ivan said.

"No, my teeth are itchy and I want to suck something fleshy." Elaine shook her head.

What exactly is this unfolding? Sure enough, the trouble will come when it is mentioned.

To evaluate Elaine's performance is to drink the strongest wine and bite the people around him...

Fortunately, she has not made any other more excessive demands.

Harry looked at the two of them with an attitude that had nothing to do with him. Ivan didn't want to stay here any longer, so he supported Elaine, and stretched out an arm to her for her to hold.

Elaine really just sucked it this time and didn't bite, but it felt even weirder.

Also, her saliva flowed down the corner of her mouth, leaving it all over Ivan's arms.

At this moment, Ivan misses Hermione very much, and should let her come together tonight.

In the night, the three of them walked towards the castle in this strange state.

The gate wasn't locked, but one trouble after another, they ran into Peeves on the fourth floor.

Fortunately, he hid quickly and was not found.

On the way, under the influence of alcohol, Elaine finally fell asleep. Instead of her holding Ivan's arm, Ivan carried her to the Gryffindor Tower.

After finally getting to the portrait of the Fat Lady, her mood was very bad for them.

Harry went up to say the password, but she didn't respond, instead she was furious.

"Do you three know what time it is?"

"I'm very sorry, we have something important to go out..."

"Important things?! Don't think I don't know what you guys are doing out there. Boys and girls sneak out in the middle of the night. I've seen many such things..." She glanced at Elaine, who was sleeping soundly in Ivan's arms, and said loudly The reprimand said, "Wait, you're drinking!"

"This has nothing to do with you, and we didn't do anything bad!" Ivan cast an earplug spell on Elaine, and said the password for tonight again, "Scum, let us go in."

"It's the same for you!" said the fat lady. "The password was changed in the middle of the night, so you can only sleep in the corridor."

"Just kidding!" said Harry angrily. "Why did you change the password in the middle of the night?"

"I'm the chairman of the Boys Student Union, and I don't know what the new password is." Aiwen said, "You are not qualified to change the password to enter the common room by yourself."

"That's it. I'm not alone. I got permission." The fat lady said, pinching her waist with both hands. "If you are angry, go and tell the principal. He ordered the security measures to be strengthened, so I will give you the password. changed!"

"Very good!" Harry said resentfully, looking at the hard ground, "that's wonderful, yes, if Dumbledore is here, we're going to talk to him, because it's him tonight..."

"He's here!" said a voice suddenly. "Professor Dumbledore returned to school an hour ago."

Chapter 1459 Dusty Memories

Ivan and Harry turned their heads at the same time, and Nick, who was almost headless, floated towards them, his head still dangling on his ruff.

"Dumbledore is at Hogwarts. I heard from Baron the Bloody. He saw it just now. Baron said that Dumbledore seemed to be in a good mood, but he was a little tired. Of course he was so busy. Baron Ro..."

"Where is he?"

"Oh, humming and chirping on the Astronomical Tower, and Ding Ling's singing, this is his favorite pastime..."

"It's not the Bloody Baron, it's Dumbledore I'm asking!" said Harry.

"Oh, in his office," Nick said. "According to Barrow, he has something to do before he goes to bed."

Confirming Dumbledore's whereabouts, Harry immediately turned to look at Ivan and said, "Ivan, let's go find Dumbledore."

He was filled with excitement at the thought of being able to tell Dumbledore that he had the memory.

"Well, I should go to Dumbledore to talk to him. I said earlier that he must know that we got the memory!" Ivan replied, "He may have come back because of this."

He has no objection to going to Dumbledore's office, but what about Elaine in his arms?

If this guy wakes up in a while, it will definitely be a problem. Who knows what else Elaine will do in a drunk state besides biting?

Besides, although Elaine is very light, it is very difficult for Ivan to hold her all the time.

No, it's Elaine who has been hanging on him, and he's struggling too!

She was hanging on the tree like a sloth, no, it was hanging on Ivan's body...

Before they could take any action, the fat lady called out hastily.

"Don't go to the principal, I lied to you! I'm angry that you woke me up! The password is still 'scum'!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the portrait door swung open, revealing the entrance to the common room behind.

"Wait for me, Harry, I'll give Elaine to Hermione." Ivan walked in with this trouble in his arms.

It was a bit late, but Hermione hadn't returned to her dorm yet.

She fell asleep curled up next to the sofa near the fireplace, a thick magic book beside her.

Ivan woke her up and handed Elaine to her, and briefly explained her current situation: drunk and biting.

Anyway, the nature is extremely bad, the method is extremely cruel, Hermione should be careful for a while.

Looking at Hermione's appearance, she knew that she didn't take Elaine's matter to heart, but put all her energy on Ivan and how they got Slughorn's memory, what was the content of that memory and what else? They're going to see Dumbledore on these matters.

Ivan explained a few words briefly, and came to Dumbledore's office with Harry who couldn't wait.

"The headmaster will definitely be happy to see this memory. He has urged us many times and must be very anxious." Harry said.

"Yeah, he should be impatient. After all, if we want to defeat Voldemort, the first difficulty before us is the Horcrux, which is also a link that cannot be bypassed. Dumbledore needs to know all the information about the Horcrux." Ai Wen whispered.

He knew a general idea, but had no way of saying it, and many things had changed.

Dumbledore's mastery of intelligence and subsequent judgments are far more reliable than the so-called future that Ivan knows.

A few minutes later, Ivan and Harry came to the monster door in the principal's office and gave the password to climb the spiral staircase.

They knocked on the door, and Dumbledore's weary voice sounded behind the door, "Come in."

The two pushed the door open, and Dumbledore's office was still the same, but the window was replaced by a black night sky full of stars.
