Witcher at Hogwarts

Chapter 309 Slughorn’s Memory

Dumbledore approached the Pensieve and tapped it with his wand. In an instant, the Pensieve was filled with bright silver liquid.

"This is the Pensieve, Ethan." Dumbledore thought Ethan didn't understand this thing, so he explained it to Ethan.

"Sometimes I feel that there are too many thoughts and memories in my mind, so I will suck the excess thoughts out of my mind and pour them into this basin. I will take a good look at them when I have time. It is easier in this state. See their shapes and connections to each other.”

Dumbledore took his wand out of his robes and inserted the tip into his silver hair, close to his temple.

When he pulled out the wand, there seemed to be some hair stuck to the tip of the wand. The hair shone with silver and looked very similar to the substance in the pensieve.

"Ethan, there is a reason why I hired Slughorn again. He was once the dean of Slytherin and Voldemort's teacher. In fact, Voldemort has always been Slughorn's favorite disciple!"

Dumbledore introduced to Ethan.

"So, Ethan, I'm going to show you a memory." Dumbledore said as he gently stirred the silver liquid in the pensieve.

Many strange ripples immediately appeared in the silver liquid. Ethan focused on the ripples, and soon he felt like he was being sucked in.

Soon a picture appeared in front of Ethan.

A much younger Slughorn appeared in front of Ethan. The young Slughorn had thick and shiny yellow hair, as if he had covered his head with thatch. There was already a shiny patch of hair on the top of his head. , a bald spot as big as a gold galleon.

His beard was not as thick as it is now, it was ginger, and his body was not as fat as it is now.

At this moment, he was resting his little feet on a large velvet cushion, lying half on a comfortable winged armchair, holding a small glass of wine in his hand, and picking at a box of pineapple preserves with his other hand.

There was a large group of students sitting next to him. These students looked very elegant. They were all talking and laughing with Slughorn.

"He is what Voldemort looked like when he was a student." Dumbledore's voice suddenly sounded in Ethan's ears.

Then Dumbledore walked behind a young boy and looked at the boy seriously.

The young Voldemort is very handsome and handsome, and he is already the top among this group of boys.

Voldemort looked very relaxed at this time. His right hand was resting on the armrest casually. Ethan noticed that the young Voldemort was wearing a shiny black gemstone ring on his finger.

Dumbledore's eyes also kept falling on the ring on Voldemort's hand.

"Sir, is Professor Mellors retiring?" Voldemort in memory asked the young Slughorn.

"Tom, Tom, I know and can't tell you." Slughorn shook a icing-covered finger reproachfully at him, but winking slightly spoiled the effect, and Slughorn could tell. Ghorn liked himself quite a lot as a student.

"I have to say, I wonder where you got your information from, kid. You know more than half the professors." Slughorn said with a wink at Voldemort.

Voldemort smiled, and the other boys laughed and looked at him with admiration.

At this moment, the entire image in the memory suddenly shook, just like the water surface.

It became blurry, and even Slughorn's voice began to become blurry.

"You're going to make mistakes, kid, mark my words." This was the only sentence Ethan understood.

The shaking soon stopped, everything returned to normal, and the banquet was still going on.

"Okay, kids, it's time for you to turn off the lights soon. In order to prevent your school from deducting points, please come and leave quickly." Slughorn stood up and said to the students present.

The students present stood up obediently, and after saying goodbye to Slughorn, they left Slughorn's office one by one.

Only Voldemort remained where he was, and it seemed that he wanted to tell Slughorn something.

"Hurry up, Tom," Slughorn turned around and found that he was still there, and said, "You don't want to be caught outside when lights out, you are a prefect."

"Sir, I want to ask you something." Voldemort spoke, his black and white eyes fixed on Slughorn's face.

"Then ask, kid, ask one by one," Slughorn said to Voldemort with a smile.

"Sir, I would like to ask you if you know about Horcruxes." Voldemort said.

Hearing Voldemort mention Horcruxes, Ethan's energy suddenly perked up and he wanted to listen carefully to what Slughorn would say.

But at this moment, the shaking started again, and the picture became messy again.

Slughorn's words became erratic and unintelligible.

"I know nothing about Horcruxes, and even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you! Get out immediately, and don't let me hear you mention this again!"

Finally, after Slughorn's voice sounded, Ethan was thrown out of this memory.

"What's going on?" Ethan asked Dumbledore with a frown.

"This memory belongs to Slughorn. He tampered with his own memory." Dumbledore said softly to Ethan.

"Obviously, Slughorn didn't want us to know about his conversation with Voldemort. Fortunately, his method of changing memories was not very clever and exposed many flaws." Dumbledore said.

"You mean Slughorn taught Voldemort how to make Horcruxes?" Ethan said with a tight frown.

"No, that's not the case." Dumbledore quickly denied Ethan's words.

"Slughorn is not a bad person, he is just too naive." Dumbledore gave Slughorn an evaluation after thinking for a long time.

"Ethan, I want you to help get Professor Slughorn's true memory." Dumbledore said to Ethan.

Dumbledore is a real person. He assigned Ethan a task as soon as he joined the Order of the Phoenix.

"It's too easy," Ethan said easily.

"Legilimency, Veritaserum, Sigil." There are many ways to pry Slughorn's mouth open.

"No, no, that's not what I'm talking about." Dumbledore said.

"Slughorn is a very capable wizard with a high social status. There are many students from all walks of life in the magic world. If he uses strong methods, he will definitely cause a lot of unnecessary trouble."

"Besides, Slughorn also has superb Occlumency. Even I can't break through his defenses without being noticed by him." Dumbledore explained to Ethan.

"Okay, I understand." Ethan stood up and straightened his clothes.

"I will use proper methods to get to the truth of this incident." Ethan said.

"Ethan, I recommend you take Harry with you. Harry's parents were once Slughorn's very favorite students." Dumbledore suggested to Ethan.
