Civilization and Harmony Hogwarts

Chapter 175

After getting Tom's response, Professor Slughorn breathed a sigh of relief, visibly relieved.

"I know, if I know, then it will be easy to handle."

Tom had expected Professor Slughorn to seek him alone, but he hadn't expected Professor Slughorn to seek him at this hour (lunch time).

He calculated the time and estimated that his sister Afu should get up and look for food by now, so without waiting for Professor Slughorn to say anything more, he directly pointed out Professor Slughorn's purpose.

"As you expected, Lord Slytherin's locket is in my hands now." Tom said flatly, as if he didn't care what kind of thunder he dropped.

Professor Slughorn: (owo)?

Professor Slughorn: So crisp?Can this kind of thing be admitted so simply and directly?Shouldn't you push and pull back and forth for hundreds of rounds first, and then you "overwhelmed" and revealed the news to me?

Tang Tangzi: Hurry up, hurry up, I'm still in time for lunch to meet my sister!

Although Professor Slughorn had already guessed in his heart, it was only speculation after all, and there was no conclusive evidence. So at this time, Tom's straightforward reaction without any concealment made his brain crash.

"Eh..." This straight ball made Professor Slughorn unable to deal with it, but he was an old fox for many years after all, and he quickly adjusted his mood.

"Since this is the case, then I think the purpose of our conversation today has been achieved."

Professor Slughorn's plan today was to confirm whether Slytherin's locket was in Tom's possession. Now that he has received a positive answer, although he has a strange depression in his heart for some reason , but still showed his gentle and friendly smile to Tom.

"If the professor and the senior have any plans, I will try my best to cooperate." Tom's face is full of trust in the teacher's admiration, which makes Professor Slughorn's heart tremble, as if a warm current poured into his heart, sinking Into the limbs and bones.

"Good boy..." Professor Slughorn's voice was a little darker than before, and he blinked his eyes, looking at Tom more softly.

Although he knew clearly in his heart how a Gaunt could be as innocent and trustworthy as he showed, he would still be moved by Tom's sincere and sincere expression, so he still warned Tom as if it was unnecessary.

"Good boy, the founder's relic is an irresistible temptation for any wizard." Professor Slughorn restrained his smile and looked serious. He put his hand on Tom's shoulder, bent slightly and lowered his body. , "I guess Professor Afu must believe that you have the ability to possess it, so he let you carry it with confidence."

Although Professor Slughorn doesn't know how Slytherin's locket came to Tom's hands, Afu, who is Tom Gaunt's guardian, must know that Tom holds the locket this matter.

Although the incarnation of Hogwarts castle that has lived for thousands of years looks like a pure, naive and ignorant girl on the surface, Professor Slughorn never dared to underestimate Afu.

Since Afu can safely let Tom carry Slytherin's locket with him, there must be perfect measures to protect it from being taken away by others.

'There are backhands on the locket, or confidence in your ability to protect this child...'

But Professor Slughorn looked at the humble and polite Tom, and he was more willing to believe that it was Tom who had the ability to reassure Afu and let him hold the locket.

"In the future, don't easily show Lord Slytherin's relics to others. Even if someone close to you asks you, if you are not sure whether the other party is completely credible, don't tell them easily." Professor Slughorn carefully said He reminded him, lest he would be deceived by outsiders if he did not explain in detail.

"Of course, if you are strong enough not to be afraid of any conspiracy, then everything is up to you." With that, Professor Slughorn with a round figure straightened his waist and stroked his round belly with his big palm.

Seeing Tom lower his eyes, as if he had listened to his own words and thought about it seriously, Professor Slughorn felt that the joy of being a teacher made him even happier.

"Okay, it's getting late now, let's go to the auditorium for dinner." Immediately, Professor Slughorn realized that today was still Tom's first day of school, and he was not familiar with the castle, so he invited Said, "Follow me, I will take you to the auditorium."

"Okay, thank you, Professor." Tom nodded to Professor Slughorn, and then went back to the desk to tidy up his things. After seeing the clean and empty desk, he immediately realized that Abu should have helped tidy up before he left. .

"Oh, helpful student Malfoy, if the get out of class is not over now, I think I will give him three points." Professor Slughorn did not hide his preference for Slytherin and Malfoy at all.

"Abu, he is indeed a helpful person." Tom praised Abu somewhat against his conscience, but as soon as he said the words, he felt as disgusted as if he was forced to swallow a toad on his own initiative.

But who is Tom? Although he feels uncomfortable for speaking against his conscience, he still looks like a "brother" with Abu on the surface.

"It seems that you have a good relationship. I heard that you grew up together..."

The door of the Potions classroom was opened and then slowly closed. Through the door, only the harmonious and harmonious chatter of the teachers and students who were gradually going away could be heard.

On the surface: Tang Tangzi wants to meet Afu as soon as possible, so he is too lazy to push and pull with Professor Slughorn.

In fact: the IQ of the scumbag author can't write the pushing and pulling process of the two old foxes. (Blinking clear eyes.jpg)
