Chapter 703: Slug Club

"Hermione~ Someone invites us to lunch, meow!"

(ω)

Fish shouted excitedly, raising the parchment in his hand at Hermione.

"It's not us, it's you, Harry and Neville." Hermione corrected calmly: "Only you three received the invitation."

"What do you mean? Only the three of us can meow?" Maomao turned to look at Harry and Neville who also received the parchment.

(ω)

The contents on their parchments are basically the same as those on Fisch's. The only difference is the names at the beginning.

"Probably...it doesn't say you can bring other people, so it's best not to bring anyone else." Harry said after hesitating for a moment.

After all, the other party is a professor. Although Harry does not like Professor Slughorn's behavior of treating himself as a collection, before he showed the characteristics of Lockhart or Umbridge, Harry still I will maintain the most basic respect for him.

When he heard that Hermione and the others could not be brought along, Fish instantly lost interest in Professor Slughorn's invitation. He curled his lips and threw the parchment in his hand onto the small table in the box.

"Then Feixu won't go, meow."

(ω)

Anyway, he didn't really like the professor named Slughorn.

Neville hesitated for a moment and threw the invitation on the table: "Then I won't go either. I don't even know him."

Although Harry had mentioned before that the new Potions professor was a very famous person, but...

Based on his grades in the Potions class, it was impossible to participate in the N.E.W.T. course in the Potions class this year, so Neville's mentality was very peaceful.

Harry originally wanted to advance and retreat together with the two of them, but Hermione reminded him: "One of you must go over and inform Professor Slughorn. It would be too disrespectful for anyone to go over." Be a little more polite.”

"Fish won't go anyway, nya!"

(〃｀3〃)

Maomao folded his hands and turned his head to the side.

Harry and Neville looked at each other for a while, then finally sighed helplessly, stood up, and walked out of the box...

Who told him to be the last to express his stance?

However, once Harry left, he walked all afternoon. Ron and the others waited until the sky outside began to darken and the lights on the train came on, and then Harry returned to the box with a tired look on his face.

"What took you so long?" Ron asked curiously.

"Don't mention it..." Harry waved his hand, collapsed on the chair and rested for a long time, then sat up straight and said, "Professor Slughorn also invited other people from different colleges and grades. They all have one characteristic: someone in their family is powerful or famous in the wizarding world."

"Ah... no wonder Ginny and I weren't invited." Ron shrugged and said mockingly: "Mom also said that he looked down on dad at the beginning and felt that he would not achieve much. "

Then he sighed dejectedly, "But what I have to admit is... he doesn't seem to be wrong..."

The others exchanged glances with each other without saying anything. It was one thing for Ron to laugh at himself, but it would be rude for them to follow suit.

Only Fish tilted his head and said doubtfully: "Doesn't Arthur have any achievements? Didn't he even appear in the newspaper?"

"Huh? When?" Ron and Ginny were stunned for a moment.

"When he won the lottery before, didn't you go to Egypt to play?" Feishu asked in surprise.

After Fish's reminder, Ron and Ginny finally remembered this incident. They looked at Maomao dumbfounded and didn't know how to explain it to him.

Ron simply changed the subject and continued to ask Harry: "Then what did he invite you to?"

"Chat?" Harry said uncertainly.

He was very uncomfortable with the situation at that time, so he didn't pay much attention most of the time. Slughorn only cheered up when he talked about his mother.

"...Anyway, he was talking to the people he was invited about how close he was to the famous people in their families. Plus, they seemed to be members of the 'Slug Club' and invited us to join them."

Harry briefly talked about some of the topics that Professor Slughorn was talking about at that time. It was so boring that Fish started to doze off.

As for Slughorn's invitation to join the club, Harry had already been reminded by Dumbledore, so he was mentally prepared. Hermione also learned about the club from Professor Fish and McGonagall, so naturally she had no reaction.

But this was the first time Ron and the others had heard of Slughorn's club. Ginny couldn't help but asked curiously: "The Slug Club? What is that?"

Even Luna became interested: "Are you studying slugs? Is there a club for trembling maggots?"

"It was a club, or a network of relationships, established by Professor Slughorn with himself as the core. The members were all the students he liked when he was teaching at Hogwarts... My mother was also a member of it. One." Harry explained, ignoring Luna's question.

At the same time, he was also a little confused...

Because Harry doesn't like Professor Slughorn's way of measuring a person by "worth", but he also wants to follow the path his mother took, and he also wants to learn about it from Professor Slughorn. More about his parents, so when Professor Slughorn invited him to join the Slug Club, Harry neither agreed nor refused.

"This name is really ugly, meow! Feixu's Cat Club is better!"

(`)

Fish, who was already planning to steal Slughorn's club, said disparagingly without hesitation.

"That's right! What's the Slug Club? Our Cat Club is the best!" Ron and Neville cheered in unison.

When the train was about to arrive at the station, Hermione took Fish and left first. They returned to the prefects' carriage and changed into their robes.

After the train stopped at the Hogsmeade platform, Fish and several other prefects arranged for other students to get off the train in an orderly manner.

"Fish."

Professor Slughorn dragged a small and exquisite suitcase to the carriage where Maomao was. He waited until all the students in front got off the car before he came to Fish.

"It's a pity that you didn't come to have lunch with me at noon." He was not angry because Fish rejected his invitation. He still had that kind expression with a hint of greed hidden in it. "Actually, even if you bring I won’t mind if a few friends come over, but it’s my mistake and I can’t blame you.”

Professor Slughorn was always very tolerant of the students he valued, let alone Fish, who was loved by everyone.

Then, he said cheerfully: "But it doesn't matter. We will still have a long time to get along well at Hogwarts."

He nodded to Fei Xu, and then walked off the train dragging the small suitcase.

(ω)

Fish looked at Professor Slughorn's retreating back and scratched his head in distress...

If the other person always has such a good-natured and angry face, then I would be embarrassed to steal his things...
