Master Druid at Hogwarts

Chapter 731 Timing
After swallowing the Elixir of Felicity, Harry didn't answer Fish's question, but closed his eyes, feeling something quietly.

After a while, he opened his eyes, and his whole person's energy and spirit changed drastically. He seemed to be in high spirits and confident.

"You'll know once you taste it." He smiled and handed the Felician to Fish.

"Meow?"

ω
Mao Mao blinked, then shook her head and refused: "No, Fish should just wait for Severus to prepare it, meow."

Harry didn't force it either, because the instruction given to him by Felicia was that Fish would give him as much as he wanted, and he didn't have to force it if he didn't want to.

So he withdrew his hand holding the Felix Elixir, tightly capped and put away the bottle, and then stood up with a smile, full of confidence.

"The taste of Felix Elixir is nothing special, it's neither good nor bad," Harry picked up the invisibility cloak at hand, and covered himself, "but the feeling after drinking it...it's wonderful! Now, I must hurry up and find Professor Slughorn."

His voice gradually faded away, and then just got into the hole in the portrait wall.

"Uh...don't you guys go and have a look?" After a brief silence, Ron asked Hermione and Fish.

"No, Fish wants to warm meow."

(=ΦωΦ=)

While talking, Fish turned into a tabby cat, jumped onto a chair by the fireplace, and curled up in a comfortable position.

As the weather gradually became colder, Fish also gradually reduced the number of night excursions and visits to the Forbidden Forest. Although he was not afraid of the cold, it was more comfortable for him to warm up by the fire in the house than to go out to enjoy the cold wind.

Just as Fish fell asleep by the fire, Harry had already put on his invisibility cloak and arrived at the door of Professor Slughorn's office.

He pulled off the invisibility cloak on his body and knocked on the office door.

The door opened, and Professor Slughorn appeared in front of Harry wearing a light purple cotton pajamas. After seeing Harry, he frowned slightly, but soon smiled.

However, before he could send Harry away on the grounds of the curfew, Harry said first, "The professor likes purple very much? This is the third set of pajamas I've seen of you, and all three are purple."

"Light purple and lavender, to be exact." Professor Slughorn seemed pleased that Harry had noticed his hobby, and immediately forgot about sending him away.

"Want to come in for a drink?" He subconsciously invited in a cheerful mood.

"Excuse me then." Harry nodded at him with a smile, and walked in.

Only then did Professor Slughorn come to his senses, and a wry smile suddenly appeared on his face, but since he has already invited people in, it is naturally not easy to go back on his word, so he can only plan to do as much as possible in the future .

"Fish is not here today, would you like some wine to warm you up?"

When Harry sat down at the table, Professor Slughorn took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet and asked.

With a twitch in Harry's mind, he suddenly understood how to get real memories from Professor Slughorn, but... not today.

He lowered his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice: "Thank you for your kindness, professor, but I'm not yet an adult, so I can only drink a little butter beer with you."

"Really, that's a pity." Professor Slughorn put the red wine back, "Then let's have a cup of hot milk. If you drink coffee or tea at this time, you won't be able to sleep at night. You are getting old. People don't stay up all night in the end... Of course, the same goes for young people."

After finishing speaking, he seemed to find his witticism very interesting, holding his round belly and smiling like a happy old walrus.

Harry chuckled in sympathy, even though he didn't think it was funny.

After pouring Harry a glass of hot milk, Professor Slughorn stopped talking, and while sipping his own glass of milk, he stared at the white liquid in the glass, as if there was a beautiful image on it. the same as the painting.

"I'm really sorry to bother you so late, Professor." Harry said slowly after taking a sip of milk.

"Oh, no, it's nothing." Professor Slughorn waved his hand.

Although he looked like he didn't care, Harry was very keenly aware that his body was tensing up subconsciously with the help of Felicia Potion. As long as he mentioned that topic, the other party would definitely pay attention. About him.

So... today is not the best time.

Felix Felicia had told Harry so.

So Harry simply didn't mention a word about the Horcrux, "I'm actually here to ask about my mother."

Professor Slughorn immediately relaxed. Harry had often asked about Lily in the past, so he didn't have any doubts, and he believed Harry's words directly.

So he moved his buttocks to make his sitting position more comfortable, and asked in a gentle voice: "So what do you want to ask today? Do you need to come to me at night?"

"It's about my mother and Professor Snape..." Harry had a complicated expression on his face, "Last time you said that my mother was angry with Professor Snape, so..."

"Oh, dear Harry," Professor Slughorn smiled and shook his head, "I didn't explain it to you at the time. Indeed, Lily contacted James Potter in the first place, maybe it was to get angry Severus, but that doesn't mean she doesn't love your father."

Harry regained his energy immediately. In fact, he had been brooding over this matter all along, but he hadn't dared to ask further questions before, fearing that he would get some bad answers.

Had it not been for the reminder of the Bliss Elixir today, Harry would definitely have continued to avoid talking about this matter.

"Lily is not the kind of stupid girl who would go against her own will just to get angry with others, she would choose to marry James Potter, she must really like him... I would say that before, more is Because I don't think James Potter is good enough for her, and I have a little subjective emotion." Professor Slughorn shrugged, "You know, I always have a special preference for club members .”

He said it lightly, but Harry couldn't wait to punch him hard in front of those walrus-tusk beards.

You must know that it was because of his "subjective emotions" that Harry couldn't sleep well for several days. To this day, when he saw Professor Snapping, Harry still felt a little complicated.

"Then Professor Snape...?" Harry continued.

"Severus..." Professor Slughorn sighed, "Even without James Potter, the two of them probably wouldn't be able to get together in the end..." He shook his head regretfully , seems to be caught in the memory.

Just when Harry got a little impatient waiting, he said again: "Back then, Severus was too obsessed with black magic, and like most Slytherins, he fanatically worshiped the mysterious man, So although I really don't want to admit it, it's inevitable that Lily didn't get together with him in the end, even if there wasn't that misunderstanding, they would part ways sooner or later."

Hearing this, Harry finally completely untied the knot in his heart.At the same time, he also felt that the effectiveness of the Elixir of Felicity was gradually fading.

So Harry drank the milk in the glass, then got up and said goodbye: "Thank you, professor, I should go back, and tell me more about my mother when you have time." In the last instruction of the agent, he said this sentence.

"Of course, of course, you and Lily are good boys..." Professor Slughorn's eyes were filled with tears, "As long as you need, I can tell you about Lily anytime, Any time."

Harry bowed deeply to him, then left his office, put on the cloak and headed for the Gryffindor dormitory.
