Chapter 714 Horace Is a Good Man!

"How could you have such an idea?"

Professor Slughorn's hand shook suddenly and he pulled a few strands from his walrus beard.

"That's what Albus said, meow. He said you like to collect everyone as collectibles in your slug club."

(ˇˇ)

Fei Xu told the truth.

"This guy Albus..." Slughorn showed a toothache expression on his face, then shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I don't deny this statement, but that so-called 'collection', It's just a joke between me and my friends..." He scratched his forehead in frustration, "Has Albus told you what the nature of my club is?"

"Yes, he said your club is to get benefits from them, meow!"

"I want benefits..." Slughorn rolled his eyes helplessly, "Well, this is indeed one of my original intentions in establishing the club, but I don't only know how to ask for it. All members are equal. The relationship of mutual help does not mean that they really become my subordinates or collections," he patiently explained to Fish.

"That's right, Fish, I can join the Harpy team with the help of the professor." Jones also helped.

"Oh, dear Gwenog, in fact I only helped a little bit. With your talent, even without my recommendation, you will be able to join the Habbit team sooner or later. It is the best if you can serve as the captain. Good explanation." Slughorn said very humbly, not sure if it was for Amphish's sake.

"Eh? Then isn't this just making friends, meow?"

(ω)

Feishu scratched his head in confusion and said with his own understanding.

"You are right to say that," Slughorn put down the wine glass in his hand and clapped his hands and said, "My slug club is to bring capable people together, let them know each other, communicate, and then each can benefit from it." Required.”

"Of course, if they can give me some benefits within their means...such as a bottle of good wine, a ticket, or a ham specially made by the goblins..." He pointed to the only thing on Fish's plate. There was a small piece of ham left, then he winked at Maomao and said with a smile: "That would be great."

Before Slughorn came over, he discovered that Fish had a special liking for the ham on the table.

"Yes! Albus seems to have said something similar, meow..."

Fish had previously focused on the "Collectibles" and ignored other contents.

Of course, the more important reason is...

For Fish, it was a normal thing for others to give him food, drinks, toys, etc., so when he heard Dumbledore say this, he thought these were insignificant things.

However, after being stunned for a moment, Maomao quickly came to his senses and said, "But when you were looking at Fish and Harry that day, your eyes were weird, and Fish didn't like Meow either."

Slughorn can also explain this.

"Yes, I always get a little bit embarrassed when I see talented students." He admitted frankly: "It's like a strange desire to collect, which makes me want to collect outstanding students like you." students into my club. This is why Albus and I, as well as some other old friends, will jokingly call you my 'collection'... But in fact, I will not do anything bad to you. things.”

"Is that so, meow?"

(ω)

Fish looked at Hermione aside. He could probably understand Slughorn's explanation, but whether what the other party said was the same thing as what Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall said, based on Maomao's current situation I still can't tell from experience.

Hermione nodded slightly.

Of course, Slughorn is not as harmless as he said. He enjoys having a large number of contacts and relying on these contacts to get some special treatment, but generally speaking, he does not harm the members of the club. , on the contrary, as Dumbledore said, he regards the members as collections and will protect them well. However, when these "collections" lose their value, his attitude will immediately change to treating Neville and Rowe. Well that's it.

Of course, Hermione couldn't tell Fish directly about this here, so she simply nodded and told Fish that Slughorn did not have any bad intentions.

Feishu shook his head, feeling that something was still wrong...

"Ah! That's right! Your attitude towards Neville and Ron is very bad, meow!"

(`ω)

Maomao began to fight for his friends again.

However, Slughorn didn't think there was anything wrong with this, after all, that was his values.

"Yes, I won't put too much thought into those who have no talent." He smiled, but said coldly: "To me, people without talent are not worth making friends with at all, so naturally I won't Waste time on them.”

This has been Slughorn's life creed for decades, and even Fish can't change it.

"So Fish doesn't like you! And I don't want to join your club, meow!...Suck!"

(ˇ﹃ˇ)

After Maomao finished speaking, he couldn't help but glance at the food on the table, and then sucked back the saliva from the corner of his mouth.

"Hahahaha!" Slughorn laughed loudly at this time, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter," he waved his hand and said to Fish: "I will not force others to join my club. , it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to join…”

Then he changed the topic, "But when I hold parties in the future, I still hope that you can enjoy it," Slughorn said with a smile: "You know, I like to make friends with talented students like you. It won’t change if you don’t join the club.”

"Really Meow?!"

(ω)

Maomao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Fish blamed you wrongly. It turns out you are a good person, Horace!"

For Slughorn, it doesn't matter whether Fish joins the Slug Club or not. As long as he can establish a good relationship with him and invite cats to the party, Fish will naturally be considered by the outside world. A member of the club, and Fish himself is no different from other members.

His little thoughts can actually be seen by everyone except Fei Xu, but no one will remind Maomao.

After all, judging from Maomao's appearance, he really likes the food here. It's better not to say anything and let Feixu enjoy the food...

Besides, this also provides one more opportunity to get in touch with Fei Xu, so why not?

Recommended ticket monthly ticket

As for Hermione asking Fish to agree to the invitation, Hermione in the original book was very considerate of her friends. Goblet of Fire Harry and Ron had a falling out over registration, and she went to help mediate. Order of the Phoenix Harry and Qiu There was a misunderstanding, and it was she who pointed out to Harry what he had done wrong...but neither of these two cheaters listened.

And letting Fish accept the invitation will not cost Maomao anything. Maomao didn't like Umbridge so much before, so she just ate snacks and desserts... With a personality like Maomao, how could it be possible at the banquet? Still angry?

Hermione did this just because she knew Maomao's character, so she chose to help Harry here. I think it is very consistent with Hermione's character.

As for discussing with Fish in advance... they couldn't know in advance that Professor Slughorn would jump out to block them at this time.

There will be an extra episode tomorrow. (`)b
