In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

Chapter 521 519. I can’t imagine it

"Horace, it's been so long."

In the fireplace, Dumbledore greeted Slughorn gently.

Seeing Dumbledore's face, Slughorn showed a somewhat resentful expression and sat down on the sofa.

"To be honest, I originally thought that you would come in person even if you came to see me, but I didn't expect that you would actually let a child who is not old enough to go to a magic school come over and hold your wand?"

Slughorn seemed dissatisfied with Jon's age and obscurity, as was his old problem.

"At least let Harry Potter come, then I might be a little interested."

Jon disapproved of this. Of course he was very familiar with Slughorn's temper. Dumbledore said softly.

"I only show up to tell you that whatever Jon says next is true. Of course you won't believe him when you meet him for the first time, but I should still have some trust in you."

Slughorn curled his lips and poured himself and Jon a cup of black tea.

"It's really only a few knuts, so you're pretty self-aware."

Dumbledore didn't say anything more. He came forward to give Jon a guarantee and proof. After hearing Slughorn's words, he just smiled and then disappeared into the fireplace.

Now, Jon and Slughorn were the only two people left in the room.

Compared with the other world, Fat Walrus doesn't look much different. At most, his face is rosier and his belly is rounder than his other self.

He looked at Jon without speaking, obviously wanting Jon to speak first.

Jon didn't have any extra courtesy. He just took out the pendant with the ring from his neck and followed his movements with his eyes. Of course, Slughorn also saw the pendant with five blue diamond-shaped gems on it. ring!

The shock to his heart at this moment was greater than the Elder Wand in Jon's hand!

Because with Dumbledore's unpredictable temper, he might have given the Elder Wand to someone temporarily, but for the ring and the gems on the ring, only probably only a few people in the world knew about the existence of this thing. Slughorn is left alone!

After the shock, Slughorn's eyes became bloodshot. He looked extremely angry for some reason, and then he held Jon's shoulders and asked.

"You dug up Adrien's grave!"

Jon was just stunned for a moment before he guessed which direction Slughorn was taking things in, and he explained patiently.

"Can you sit down and listen to me first? Teacher, if I really do something like that, is it possible for me to find you and sit in front of you?"

"Who is your teacher! I have retired from Hogwarts a long time ago. Even if I had not retired, you would not be my student at your age."

Slughorn was obviously just angry at what his old friend brought to the grave, and his reason did not disappear because of it.

After hearing Jon's words, he slowly let go of his hand and sat back on the sofa, but still stared unkindly at the ring around Jon's neck.

Jon didn't stop and told him his origins, how he obtained the ring, and his relationship with him in another world.

Slughorn has been listening without interrupting, but it can be seen that his expression has always been changing as if he was listening to some tall tale. If he had not received Dumbledore's endorsement in advance, maybe now He had already kicked Jon out.

Jon knew that he would not accept it so easily, so he actually borrowed something from Dumbledore before coming.

Jon placed the pensieve on the table and said with a smile.

"You once told me that you also have a pensieve, but you forgot where you hid it, and that memory is backed up in the basin, and you can only treat it as lost and can't find it later."

When Jon talked about this matter, Slughorn actually believed him 90%, because he almost never mentioned it to anyone else. After hiding in this place for so many years, he never talked to anyone. Talk about opportunities.

Jon used his wand to pull out several memories from his mind, then put them into the pensieve, and finally extended an invitation gesture to Slughorn.

Slughorn's expression was very complicated. After all, even if he basically believed what Jon said, the thing about the parallel world was too bizarre.

Although this is magic enough and does exist in theory from the perspective of a time turner, there has never been such a precedent in the magic world in the past.

Jon's memories were pulled out in front of him, and Slughorn himself was a master of memory control. Even if Jon did something, he was confident that he would be able to find the problem.

The two of them immersed themselves in the pensieve together.

From the first time Jon saw Slughorn at the freshman dinner to when the ring stuck to him on the carriage, Slughorn began to consider whether to give him the complete use of the ring, and then The two confirmed the relationship between master and apprentice, and told Jon how he was tricked into the carriage by Dumbledore. Finally, he cooperated with Dumbledore's plan, stole the Sorcerer's Stone from the carriage, and Jon was on the carriage. Confrontation.

Slughorn watched the clips of himself in another world in silence. Now he did not experience such a state of exile, and he even couldn't believe that he had made such a decision.

Whether he agrees to Dumbledore's appointment as a professor or ends up working as an undercover agent in the Ministry of Magic, if the current Slughorn is allowed to make a choice, he will hesitate and be afraid.

But obviously these memories can't be fabricated. It's not that no one in this world can make fake memories in front of him, but it's about some of his own little habits and behavioral logic that no one can compare to Sla. Ghorn understood himself better.

He had completely believed what Jon said. After coming out of the pensieve, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed. After being silent and dazed for a long time, he turned to look at Jon again with an extremely complicated expression.

"I have no reason not to believe what you said. Forgive me for being rude before. We can get to know each other again now."

Jon shrugged and held out a hand.

"Jon Green, you've always said that I was your proudest student ever."

Slughorn took his hand.

"That me is qualified to comment like this. I can't describe it, but he has become unlike me. I don't even dare to think about me in my imagination."

Two chapters first, and there will be more tonight
