Hogwarts: The Most Decent White Wizard In History!

39. Horace Slughorn, A Well-Connected Sofa Teacher

"Mr. Horace* Slughorn?"

Cedric quickly remembered.

Isn't this the sofa teacher?

In the original work, he appeared very late and also participated in the Battle of Hogwarts.

But the most "famous" thing about him is that title:

He was the teacher who "taught" Voldemort the knowledge about Horcruxes!

Some people say that he taught it directly, while others say that Voldemort had basically confirmed it and just checked with him for the final time.

Anyway.

After talking to him, Voldemort officially started making the Horcrux.

"Yes, he has a wide circle of friends, and he especially likes to associate with famous and potential people!"

Flitwick blinked at Cedric.

Obviously, he, the duel champion, and Cedric, the youngest Animagus in history, fit each other's requirements very well.

"Let's go find him, he'll be happy to help!"

"clear!"

Cedric readily agreed.

Professor Flitwick is right.

Mr. Slughorn is famous for being good at finding high-quality students. After returning to Hogwarts to teach, he even founded the Slug Club.

It is just to facilitate the communication between the outstanding students he recognizes.

But it is easy to turn a blind eye to ordinary students.

In the original novel, he couldn't even remember Ronald's name.

In short, this is a guy with a lot of connections!

This guy's potions are also very powerful, and he seems to have researched on making magic props.

Horcruxes can't do it themselves.

However, some excellent magic props can help you in many ways and are worthy of your own research.

Contacting the other party was also very smooth.

Three days later.

Professor Flitwick took Cedric to meet him at the Three Broomsticks pub in Hogsmeade village.

"That's amazing, you must be Cedric!"

Just met.

The other party greeted Cedric warmly.

"Hello, Mr. Slughorn, I have long heard that you are a master of potions. I still have many things to ask you for in the future!"

Cedric looked at the other person silently.

His round bald head, walrus-like sparse beard, and straight belly are all appearances he likes to enjoy.

But he also has his own advantages.

Elegance, enthusiasm, kindness, and a little bit of arrogance allow him to quickly build relationships with people he wants to get to know.

I don’t know if it’s Cedric’s illusion.

He even felt.

The other party was a little too enthusiastic about him!

"No problem at all. Printing, publishing, and the rest of the process. Do you like the book signing party?"

"I can arrange everything!"

“I can’t say that they are all the best, but there is absolutely no problem in arranging first-class channels!”

Slughorn smiled happily while holding the mead.

In addition to enjoying himself, his favorite thing to do in this life is to make friends with all kinds of potential new stars.

Especially that kind.

Young wizards and wizards with prominent family backgrounds or with extraordinary talents.

This allows him to always get benefits from his connections.

It was just that he took a wrong look at that student, which made him have to leave Hogwarts sadly.

Since then.

He was often secretly sad.

When he thought of those bright future stars of the wizarding world, all of whom thrived at Hogwarts but did not know him, a chill of extreme sadness would well up in his mind.

Until Cedric showed up.

The youngest Animagus in history, what an incredible achievement. After receiving Flitwick's invitation, he set out immediately.

This time we meet.

After briefly communicating with Professor Flitwick, and then chatting with Cedric about some knowledge-related topics, his keen radar immediately confirmed that the other person was a rising future star.

Cedric didn't even have to do anything.

The system directly sounded the prompt:

[Congratulations on passing Slughorn's test and gaining 1,000 experience points. 】

[Ding, you moved Slughorn successfully. 】

[You get bonus talent points +1, Slughorn character template card. 】

Cedric opened it and took a look.

Sure enough, the other party's ability to recognize people was condensed into a skill.

Template Card: Horace* Slughorn

Talents: potions, spells (this talent can be upgraded to S level) third-rate master wizard (magic +5 points, upper limit of 80 points.)

Special talent: Knowing people, consuming experience points (minimum 100 points), you can check someone's hidden talents, shortcomings, etc., there is a 10% probability of getting wrong information, a 50% probability of failure, a 10% probability Obtain incomplete information.

Life wish list:

The first item: Discover the bright stars of the future (please become a future star that satisfies him.)

Phased rewards: The more famous you are, the more experience points and talent points you can get.

The second item: fame and fortune.

Give him a gift and you can get corresponding experience points and talent points according to the amount.

Item 3: Voldemort dies or makes up for his guilt (needs to be witnessed or acknowledged by key figures (Harry, Dumbledore)).

Completing this wish list will prevent this template card from occupying the slot of the template card.

"Sure enough, he is also a treasured teacher!"

Cedric was secretly happy.

Although his ordinary talent basically overlaps with Snape's, that special talent is enough to make people shine.

Needless to say.

He is also an excellent NPC for gaining experience points and talent points.

Needless to say about his fame, but his second biggest wish is that he likes students to give him gifts.

Good guy.

It’s really real and not offensive!

The meeting that day was very successful.

The three quickly hammered out some details for publication.

Mr. Slughorn was also invited by the two to write a preface and review for the book, which can be regarded as a relationship with him.

In the last moment of separation.

He even whispered praise into their ears:

"Solved the millennium problem of squibs!"

"As long as it works properly, you may be awarded the Order of Merlin!"

Recall the other person’s character template.

Coupled with the treacherous accidents honed in previous lives.

Cedric immediately replied: "If there is really a chance then, I might have to trouble you to put it into operation!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Slughorn looked delighted.

In some ways.

Cedric's ability in this area is even stronger than that of the proud Professor Flitwick.

In his eyes.

This is a very important trait for success!

Slughorn patted his shoulder cherishingly and praised him sincerely:

"I will definitely not be wrong this time. You will definitely be a great person in the future!"

"Thank you for your compliment, I will continue to write to you!"

Cedric naturally would not refuse a new learning channel.

Although Snape's potions are very strong, the opponent is also a master of potions, and a new perspective may give him new inspiration.

"It's a deal!"

Slughorn shook hands with the two men vigorously, then strode away.

There is a new job.

He is very motivated now!

As for publishing the book, you have to wait for a while, but that is the skill of recognizing people.

Cedric soon got a taste of it.
