Chapter 732: Cat Club Moves Out
"What happened?"
When Harry returned to the dormitory, Hermione and Ron, who had been waiting in the common room, immediately came to greet him. Although Fish, who was sitting by the fireplace, still had his eyes closed, the triangular ears on his head turned to Harry.
"I didn't ask." Harry shook his head and said, "The Felix Felicis told me that it's not the right time yet. But..." He changed the subject, "I already know how to get the real memory from Professor Slughorn."
Although the effect of the Felix Felicis had worn off, Harry still spoke with confidence.
"So, now we have to think of a way to get Professor Slughorn drunk, right?" After listening to Harry's story, Ron scratched his head and said, "But how can we get him drunk?"
"The Slug Club's Christmas party!" Harry and Hermione said in unison.
"Is this party specially for Slughorn's favorites? It seems that it has nothing to do with me." Ron shrugged, trying to look indifferent.
Although he felt much better when Firsh took him to Dumbledore, he still couldn't balance himself when facing Professor Slughorn who was looking at people and trying to be nice.
"Well... Actually, members were allowed to bring guests to the party, but each person could only bring one... Of course, Firsh was an exception, but it wouldn't be good to let him bring people without restrictions." Harry scratched his head and said, "So my plan is to bring as many members of the Cat Club as possible, and then let them help toast Professor Slughorn... Anyway, as long as Firsh goes to ask them, he doesn't even need to find a reason, everyone will definitely help."
"Ahem... Since it's related to Dumbledore's mission, then, then I'll go over to help..." Ron cleared his throat and made up for it uncomfortably.
Although he had opinions about Professor Slughorn, he was still very curious and envious of the Slug Club itself.
"But, even if you get Professor Slughorn drunk, how are you going to get information from him in public?" Hermione asked.
"Well..." Harry smiled awkwardly and glanced at the cat lying by the fireplace, and carefully stated in advance: "This is the inspiration given to me by the Felicia Felix... When the time comes, give Fish a glass of wine..." His voice became smaller and smaller, and it was almost inaudible at the end.
Ron and Hermione both widened their eyes and looked at Harry in disbelief.
"That's what the Felicia Felix told me." Harry was stared at and felt uncomfortable, and couldn't help but emphasize again.
"But..." "Fish wants to drink meow!"
Hermione just opened her mouth and was interrupted by the cat who jumped beside them at some point.
"Fish wants to drink meow!"
(ω)
The cat said with shining eyes. He had long been curious about the fine wine collected by Professor Slughorn.
After this period of time together, Professor Slughorn's taste in food has been recognized by Firth, so he actually wants to taste the fine wines that Professor Slughorn has always boasted about.
But the cat also knows that his alcohol tolerance is very poor, and Professor Slughorn has never given him wine to drink, so Firth has been holding back from trying...
Of course, the main reason is that Firth is worried that he will be caught and lectured by Professor McGonagall after he gets drunk.
But now it's different!
With Dumbledore's endorsement, he has an excuse... No, a legitimate reason to drink!
As for the possibility of headaches after drinking, it is no longer important for the cat who has already become curious and wants to eat good food.
...
The snowflakes are dancing outside the window again, beating against the icy window frames, and Christmas is coming in a blink of an eye.
Hagrid had brought the twelve Christmas trees that were indispensable in the hall every year by himself; the railings of the stairs were wrapped with holly and tinsel; candles flickered in the helmets of the armor, and bunches of mistletoe were hung every few steps in the corridor.
The news that Professor Slughorn was going to hold a Christmas party before the holiday had already spread throughout the school through the members of the Slug Club. Most students were very interested in it because it was said that many celebrities could be seen there. Therefore, during this period, the members of the Slug Club were particularly popular - everyone wanted to follow them to attend this Christmas party.
The most popular one was naturally Fish, because there was no limit to the guests he could bring.
Of course, as Harry said, Fish could not bring everyone in without limit, so after discussing with Hermione and others, it was finally decided to let the cat bring ten members of the cat club in.
As for which ten people...
"Have a fight, meow! The winner can attend the party!"
(ω)
Inside the Request-Granting House, Maomao excitedly said to all the members of the Maomao Club.
"This is unfair!" The junior students protested, "How can we possibly beat the senior students!"
"Meow? Hermione, is it difficult to beat the senior students, meow?"
(ω)
Fish turned his head and looked at Hermione in confusion.
Hermione glanced at Maomao, who was standing and talking without any hesitation, and said to the protesting junior students, "Then choose one from each grade, and the remaining three... just draw lots."
She did not reject Feishi's proposal to have everyone fight. After all, this could be considered a kind of training, and with Feishi around, there was no need to worry about other people getting hurt.
Then the Cat Club began a vigorous selection of invited personnel.
Except for those who were members of the Slug Club and those who had been invited by others, everyone else was trying their best to get this spot.
At this time, whether or not to accept the invitation was secondary, but the honor of "the strongest in the same grade" was more exciting.
Although everyone was already familiar with each other, and they had a basic idea of which of the people were stronger, but... how could they know if they didn't try? Anyway, after the training of the Cat Club, everyone didn't think that their actual combat ability would be worse than other people of the same age.
For Feishi, it didn't matter who won in the end, as long as there was excitement to watch.
Of course, he was just watching the excitement... because whether it was the fight between the juniors or the more skilled competitions in the seniors, it was the same for Feishi, anyway, it couldn't be more exciting than the fight between Dumbledore and Grindelwald.
In the end, seven students including Neville stood out, and three lucky students were selected to attend the Christmas party held by Professor Slughorn.
Then all the members of the Cat Club who could attend the party were left alone, and were asked by Firsh to toast Professor Slughorn at the party until he was drunk.
Firsh's reason was: Although he had been drunk several times, he had never seen others drunk, so he wanted to see it.
Such an absurd and unexamined excuse naturally could not deceive others, but everyone more or less realized that Firsh and Harry seemed to want to do something, so they tacitly did not expose it, but agreed to it with a laugh.
