Harry Potter and the Old Ones - Chapter 637
Horace Slughorn’s introduction to Salazar Slytherin was both expected and unexpected.
After all, he is more than 1.8 meters tall, with a long beard, and is as thin as a tree. He is wearing a dark green robe that was styled a thousand years ago, and has a pair of sunglasses that cover half of his face. Anyone can guess his identity.
At the same time, since almost everyone present knew about Horace Slughorn’s temper, it seemed to be expected that he invited Salazar Slytherin——
The only thing that surprised them a bit was that Horace Slughorn could actually ask Salazar Slytherin to move.
After all, Salazar Slytherin has always been a reclusive person, and has never appeared in public at all except for showing his face on the day of the inauguration of the President of the Cornelius Fudge Association of Magic.
Even on the Hogwarts campus, students run into Salazar Slytherin only a handful of times.
“It’s an honor to meet you here.” Salazar Slytherin took a step forward after Horace Slughorn’s opening speech, raised the wine glass in his hand, and with a hoarse voice, Said in plain English.
“Fate is so wonderful, and tricky,” said Salazar Slytherin, a little sadly, “I never thought that after parting ways with some of my old friends, I would be able to get back in this way. Here, back to Hogwarts, back to the place where our lives were spent.”
“We were young at that time, we were still full of blood, our ideals and ambitions were still burning, and we hoped to build a sanctuary for our wizards…” Salazars Lettling paused, then shook his head, denying, “No, more than that, that’s too light.”
“We want to build a kingdom of God for wizards, a Garden of Eden, a kingdom in which we wizards can live forever,” said Salazar Slytherin, “and that’s where the differences between me and them come from… “We had some arguments over the general direction of the experiment and eventually parted ways, they did their experiment and I went to do my experiment.”
“Now I have a chance to see our creation in a thousand years,” said Salazar Slytherin. “We can say that we have failed, we can say that we have succeeded…”
“We failed because the Hogwarts we created didn’t become what we envisioned, it didn’t become a kingdom of gods, it didn’t become a Garden of Eden.”
“But…this place has become Prometheus…here has become the fire of our entire wizarding world.” Salazar Slytherin said passionately, “Look at you, look at Look at your seniors!”
“That is the shining stars in the wizarding world, that is the light of hope that illuminates the dark night!”
“I wish you a bright future.” Salazar Slytherin raised the glass in his hand and drank it.
slam-la-
There was thunderous applause from the audience, even Professor Trelawney, who had been complaining to Harry and Luna, couldn’t help but applaud.
“You said… Mr. Slytherin’s speech was written by Tiera?” Luna, who was also applauding, tilted her head and asked Harry.
“How is that possible!” Professor Trelawney retorted after hearing Luna’s question, “This must be Mr. Slytherin’s heartfelt thoughts, he is indeed a great wizard!”
“I don’t know how much higher than Tiera who stole my students.”
Immediately afterwards, Professor Trelawney muttered again silently.
……
“What’s going on? How come there are so many Tieras?” Amidst thunderous applause, the three dropouts from Durmstrang quietly left their dance partners and retreated together.
It was Avjegrunya, the boy with short black hair, who asked the question.
“Could he sense something?” Romon Losov Kulakin, the blond-haired, hook-nosed boy also said nervously.
“He must have noticed something.” Sergey Ivanov said in a low voice with a sullen face.
“Then what should we do?” Avjegrunya asked in a panic. “Should we still look for Slytherin? This is the best chance!”
“Go, we must go.” Sergey Ivanov said decisively.
“But Tiera has…”
“He has already noticed it!” Sergey Ivanov interrupted what Avdjegrunya might have to say, and then frowned, as if disappointed with the courage of his sidekick, ” You don’t think it’s a coincidence that he divided us and himself into the same dormitory?”
“Don’t think too stupid of others, Avger!” Sergey Ivanov reprimanded in a slightly stern tone, “He must know our past, he must know everything about us! So we started from the very beginning. fell under his watch.”
“Sergey, what should we do then?” Romon Losov Kuragin asked in a trembling voice.
“Two Siberian white bears fight each other, and one of them must be injured!” Sergey Ivanov said a Russian proverb.
“Sergey you mean…”
“Don’t say it!” Sergey interrupted in time. “Come on, let’s go and salute Salazar Slytherin.”
“He knows our past and our ambitions,” Sergei Ivanov said, “Then it is normal for us to go and talk to Salazar Slytherin under these circumstances. …… even said… it would be abnormal if we didn’t go up and talk at this time, as for the other…”
“Let’s try it carefully.” Sergey Ivanov sneered, then picked up a glass of champagne from the table next to him, and drank his head up, “We all drank wine tonight, between our words If something is not right, He will forgive us… After all, we are regular students here.”
“Okay Sergey!” Romon Losov Kulakin said boldly as if he had regained his courage in an instant, and then he was about to move forward.
– but was pulled by Sergei Ivanov.
“What are you doing?” Sergey asked eagerly.
“It’s not…” Romon Losov Kulakin replied doubtfully ~www.mtlnovel.com~ How did he go like this. Sergey frowned and said, “Go find your dance partner, dance, have a few drinks, and then we’ll be together…be natural.” ”
“Okay, Sergey!”
……
Meanwhile, what the dropout trio doesn’t know is that in the eighth-story tower at Hogwarts, in the headmaster’s office, Dumbledore, who didn’t attend the dance, and Tierra, who didn’t attend the dance, were sitting facing each other playing wizard chess. .
Their chessboard is very strange. It is not a traditional wooden chessboard, but a chessboard like a mirror of water waves. Each grid reflects a scene from the Christmas ball downstairs. Sergey Ivanov, Romon The scene just discussed by Losov Kuragin and Avjagrunya is also on a chessboard.
In addition, there are pictures of Draco Malfoy, students who waited for other elders in the family to take refuge in Voldemort.
