Chronos was watching from upstairs. He saw Harry following Dumbledore so well.
After a simple greeting with Dumbledore, Horace finally noticed Harry.
“Aha,” he said, his big round eyes glanced at Harry’s forehead and the lightning-shaped scar on his forehead. “Aha!”
“This,” Dumbledore stepped forward and introduced, “It’s Harry Potter. Harry, this is an old friend and colleague of mine, Slughorn.”
Slughorn turned to face Dumbledore with a sly look. “You think this can convince me, don’t you? My answer is: no way.”
He squeezed past Harry, his face turned firmly to the side, with a look that refused to accept the temptation.
“I think we can at least come and have another drink?” Dumbledore asked. “For the sake of those old days?”
Slughorn hesitated.
“Well, just have a glass.” He said reluctantly.
Dumbledore smiled at Harry, and led him to sit on the chair beside the fireplace and oil lamp that had just been lit up. This chair was exactly the same as the one that Slughorn had just turned into.
Harry intuitively felt that Dumbledore seemed to want him to be more obvious for some reason. It turned out that when Slughorn finished his bottles and cans and turned to face the room, his eyes fell on Harry.
“Ah,” he said, turning his gaze away quickly as if he was afraid of hurting his own eyes. “Please—” He handed a glass of wine to Dumbledore who had already sat down, pushed another glass in front of Harry, and then sank into the cushions of the newly restored sofa without saying a word of sullen joy. . His legs are so short that his feet can’t touch the floor.
“I said, are you in good health, Slughorn?” Dumbledore asked.
“So-so,” Slughorn replied immediately. “Chest pain. Asthma. And rheumatism. The bones are not as flexible as before. This is nothing to make a fuss about. When people are old, they get tired when they move.”
“But judging from the welcome ceremony you just prepared for us, your actions are still very quick,” Dumbledore said. “That play was completed in less than three minutes, right?”
Slughorn replied angrily and a little proudly: “Two minutes. I was taking a bath just now, so I didn’t watch out for the intrusion spell alarm.” He seemed to wake up all of a sudden, and said solemnly: “But I am after all. Getting old. An old man who is physically and mentally exhausted should have the right to a quiet life and worry-free food and clothing?”
“You are not as old as I am, Slughorn,” Dumbledore said.
“Hmph, I think you should think about retirement yourself,” Slughorn said unceremoniously. His pale, gooseberry eyes caught Dumbledore’s injured right hand. “Your reaction is starting to become dull, old friend.”
“You’re right,” Dumbledore said quietly, shaking his sleeves to hide the tips of the burnt fingers; Harry felt the hair on the back of his neck stand up when he saw the sight. . “I really don’t want to be as flexible as before. But on the other hand…”
He shrugged his shoulders and stretched out his hands, which seemed to mean that old age and weakness would be compensated accordingly. Cronos noticed the dark hand in Dumbledore.
“For an old and declining old man like you, it’s really tiring to run around looking for a quiet old-age life. If you can go back to Hogwarts—” Dumbledore said.
“If you mean my life will be more comfortable in that **** school, you should save it! I might as well hide as I do now, and since Professor Dorothy Ambrich left I’ve heard a lot of interesting rumors from that ghost place! If that’s how you treat teachers—”
“Professor Ambrich had a little conflict with our centaur tribe at the time,” Dumbledore said. “I think you, Slughorn, should have imagined breaking into the forbidden forest and you are not polite. What is the result of accusing the angry centaur as “dirty hybrids”?”
“Did she do that, really?” Slughorn said. “This stupid woman. I’ve never looked at her directly.”
Harry chuckled, and both Dumbledore and Slughorn turned to look at him.
“Sorry,” Harry said hurriedly, “I mean—I don’t like her very much either.”
Dumbledore stood up suddenly.
“Are you leaving now?” Slughorn asked immediately, looking saved.
“Oh no, I was wondering if I could use your bathroom.” Dumbledore said.
“Oh,” Slughorn said, apparently disappointed. “The second door from the left of the hall”
Dumbledore strode out of the room. The door closed behind him, and the room became quiet again. After a while, Slughorn stood up but didn’t seem to know what to do. He glanced at Harry surreptitiously, walked around the room with his back to the stove and sat down to keep warm.

“Don’t think I don’t know why he brought you here.” He said suddenly.
Harry didn’t look at Slughorn. Slughorn’s watery eyes glanced at the scar on Harry’s head again, and this time he began to examine his face carefully.
“You look a lot like your father.”
“Yes, everyone said that.” Harry said.
“Except for your eyes. You have a pair of—”
“My mother’s eyes, that’s right.” Every time people saw him, he always commented on Harry, and he felt a little tired.
“Um. Of course, maybe your teacher is not included in your idol, but your mother is my most beloved student.” Seeing Harry’s puzzled look, Slughorn added, “Lily Ivan S. That is simply the smartest of the students I have ever taught. Smart and lively, you know. Very likable girl. I always told her before: You should be assigned to my college. I always get knocked back every time.”
