Witcher at Hogwarts

"That's enough Xueni!" Walpole suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Xueni's arm, stopping his next movement.

Xue Ni seemed to finally wake up after Walple's reminder, and he coughed twice unnaturally.

He picked up a bottle of champagne from the table, drank it in one gulp, and then leaned against the table without saying a word.

The dance continued enthusiastically, with students laughing and playing around.

Dumbledore did protect these children very well, compared to the tense atmosphere outside the Ministry of Magic.

Today's Hogwarts is simply an ivory tower.

Harry, Hermione and Ron gathered together to discuss something excitedly.

The other children also gathered in groups and talked about certain topics.

Ethan smiled and took a sip of the red wine in his glass and looked at the peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.

"Ethan! The red wine you brought is great! I have never drunk such high-quality red wine!" Slughorn's face was red, and he came over and said to Ethan.

"As long as you like it," Ethan said to Slughorn with a smile.

"Professor, maybe we can talk alone?" Ethan said to Slughorn as he polished the wine glass pretending to be casual.

"No problem, of course no problem!" Slughorn said with a smile, and then took Ethan into his lounge.

Slughorn is a person who enjoys himself. There is a small coffee table filled with snacks and drinks in the lounge.

Thick Persian rugs and a sofa that doubles as a bed and a seat.

The sofa was quite soft, and Ethan sank in as soon as he sat on it.

"Professor Ethan, we have never had a good chat! How is the work of the Ministry of Magic now?"

Slughorn sat on the sofa, snapped his fingers, and a house elf jumped out eagerly.

Fill the goblets in front of Ethan and Slughorn with red wine.

"To be honest, it's not that good -" Ethan said, taking a sip of the red wine in his glass.

"The mysterious man's power is gradually recovering. Even though we have attacked a group of Death Eaters, wizards are still disappearing." Ethan said casually.

"Yeah - that's really unfortunate." Slughorn said unnaturally.

Slughorn now regrets that he brought up this topic. He is well-informed and naturally knows about Ethan's large-scale arrest of Death Eaters in the Ministry of Magic.

And because of the lessons he had given to Voldemort and the secret conversation, Slughorn had always been very nervous.

"Yeah, yeah, you guys are working really hard." Slughorn responded with a dry voice.

Slughorn's mind was spinning rapidly, and he was eager to find another thing to change the topic.

It's a pity that Ethan didn't give him this chance.

"Mr. Slughorn, I heard that you were a teacher for a mysterious man -" Ethan said calmly after taking a sip of red wine.

Slughorn froze immediately, and his pupils shrank sharply. "Yes, I became a teacher at Hogwarts at that time."

Slughorn said in a hoarse voice.

"Oh" Ethan simply replied.

Slughorn stared at Ethan's face carefully, as if he wanted to read some message from Ethan's face.

Slughorn was now afraid that Ethan would break the cup as a warning, so a bunch of Aurors rushed out from all corners of the room and used magic to blast him into a pulp.

At this moment, another burst of huge laughter from students suddenly came from outside the door.

The silence at the scene was broken.

"Youth is great! Isn't it?" Ethan sighed while holding the goblet.

Slughorn breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ethan no longer seemed to want to dwell on the matter.

Then Ethan took the initiative to change the topic and chatted with Slughorn about students.

Eager to change the subject, Slughorn talked a lot to Ethan about the students, talking about these cute and studious children.

The two drank red wine and chatted as the glasses were refilled again and again. After a while, Slughorn became a little drunk.

"These children are so lucky. They escaped that terrible situation, but many of their parents have already died." Ethan sighed pretending to be casual.

"Yes! Those poor children! I still remember them!" The slightly drunk Slughorn lowered his guard and began to recall that time.

"It was a very terrible time," Slughorn said, burping.

He didn't seem to know what to say, so he went to add more wine to the glass.

"Ethan, I think you have seen those documents, about Harry." Slughorn suddenly took the initiative to talk about that matter, which surprised Ethan.

"Yeah, I've seen some -" Ethan agreed, trying to get more information out of Slughorn.

"James wanted to protect his wife and children. He was killed by Voldemort first, and then Voldemort stepped over his body and walked towards Lily and Harry."

Ethan continued, trying to break down Slughorn's psychological defense.

Slughorn trembled violently and turned pale, as if he couldn't bear what Ethan said.

But it seemed that he had to listen.

"Voldemort told Lily to go away. He didn't want to kill Lily. He only wanted Harry's life."

"But she didn't move. Her husband was dead. She didn't want to lose her son again. She tried to plead with Voldemort - but he just laughed -"

Ethan's mouth spoke extremely cruel words, continuing to force Slughorn's psychological defense.

"That's enough!" cried Slughorn suddenly, raising his trembling hands. "Really, Ethan, that's enough--I'm an old man and I don't need to hear--I don't want to hear--"

"I remember you taught Lily and James, right? Professor Slughorn?" Ethan asked again.

"Yes! Lily is a good child, a very good child." Tears flowed from Slughorn's eyes.

"You like her?" Ethan continued to stimulate.

"As a teacher, I shouldn't favor students, but I just prefer her, Lily -" Slughorn seemed to fall into memories.

"Lily Evans is one of the smartest students I have ever taught. She is lively and lovely, a charming girl. I often tell her that she should be in my college. I often get very rude comments from her. answer."

"I can't imagine anyone who met her and didn't like her - very brave, very lively, and oh my God! Why did such a terrible thing happen?"

Slughorn's eyes filled with tears and he wiped them with his hands.

"The problem now is that Harry is now in danger. Voldemort injured Harry's hand last time. This time he comes back, and his target will definitely be Harry." Ethan continued.

"No, it can't be like this. Lily protected Harry with her life and can't let Harry be in danger again!" Slughorn said tremblingly.

"They are so alike, Harry's eyes," Slughorn said, sighing.

"Every time I look into Harry's eyes, I feel like Lily is back, Oh my God! Poor Lily!" Slughorn finally cried.

He covered his face with his hands, shaking all over.
