"Harry, Harry, and my dear Miss Slytherin and Miss Weasley, you are exactly the people I wanted to see!" Professor Slughorn said enthusiastically, playing with the tip of the walrus' whiskers with his fingers and bulging his belly. "I'm so happy to see you. I just want to stop you before dinner! How about coming to my place for a potluck this evening? We have a small party, and we've only invited a few rising stars … "
He looked around as he spoke, skipping over Ron, who was next to Harry, as if he did not exist at all.
"Ah, I don't see Elwyn and Miss Granger. Does anyone know where they went?" He continued, "It would be great if the two of them could attend tonight's gathering!"
Looking at his expression, it seemed that he wanted Harry or Elaine to lead him to meet Elwyn and Hermione.
"Professor, we don't know where they are either!"
"They've been like this lately, disappearing at the drop of a hat." Elaine added, "And they didn't bring me along!"
Both Elwyn and Hermione could transform into cats, and they could go to many places and do many things that ordinary people could not.
"What an energetic youth, it's really nostalgic. That's what couples do when they're in love. I used to lead my little girlfriend around the castle to find a suitable place for a date, "Professor Slughorn said with an understanding expression. Professor Slughorn said with an understanding expression, "Give the two of them some personal time, they will come out. Invite them to the next gathering. Tonight, the three of you will be at the gathering …"
"Wait, Professor, about tonight's party, I can't go!" Harry said hurriedly.
"I can't go either," Elaine said, and Ginny also said that she couldn't go either.
Hearing the three's refusal, Slughorn's face suddenly pulled a long face, which made him look funny.
Ginny's reason was that she had an appointment with her boyfriend that night. Since Professor Slughorn could understand Elwyn and Hermione, he could also understand Ginny. They were both youths, restless youths, energetic youths, and his focus was not on Ginny anyway.
Elaine's reason was that the food at Professor Slughorn's place was not suitable for her. She was very picky about food, and considering her identity as a vampire, it was not suitable for her to appear alone. Professor Slughorn reluctantly agreed and decided to invite Elaine the next time he invited Elwyn.
As for Harry, the reason he gave was that he had to go to Snape's place for confinement …
Snape's confinement was originally scheduled for last week, but it clashed with Dumbledore's class, so Harry was spared. However, Snape was not going to let Harry go. Before the last Defense Against Black Magic class of the week, he specially reminded Harry to go to his place for confinement that night.
"Oh, my God!" Professor Slughorn said, "Confinement?! Oh, my God, Elwyn can't come. I'm counting on you, Harry! Okay, I'll go talk to Severus and explain the situation. I believe I can persuade him to postpone your confinement. Okay, don't worry, leave it to me. See you later! "
He hurried out of the auditorium, seemingly to find Snape.
"He won't be able to persuade Snape." Harry waited until Slughorn was out of earshot before he said, "This confinement has been postponed once. Snape did it last time for Dumbledore's sake. He won't postpone it for anyone again."
"It sounds like you'd rather go to Snape's confinement than attend the gala," said Ron gloomily. He seemed to resent Slughorn's neglect. "You've all refused. I think it's a rare opportunity …"
"To be honest, I don't want to go to either!" Harry said honestly.
Slughorn's gala or Snape's confinement. If he had to choose between these two, he would choose the gala.
But his reasoning came true. Half an hour later, Snape sent a message to Harry.
He asked Harry to go to his office for confinement at eight o 'clock that night. No matter how many people invited him to the gala, it was useless. Snape also asked Harry to wear protective gloves, because Harry's confinement tonight was to pick rotten Flobber caterpillars out of the good ones for his potion class.
The potion store never sold rotten Flobber caterpillars, and no one knew where Snape got them.
It was possible that he bought live Flobber caterpillars and left them for a period of time to slowly die, just to disgust Harry during confinement. If this was Snape's plan, then Harry had to say that he had achieved his goal!
He spent the entire ten barrels of Flobber caterpillars from eight o 'clock to ten thirty in the evening before he was allowed to leave.
People who had never experienced it would never understand this feeling …
During this time, in addition to dealing with the rotten and disgusting Flobber caterpillars, he also had to endure Snape's sarcasm.
When he returned to the common room, Harry was in a terrible mood. This was even more unbearable than the pressure from his studies.
For a moment, he really wanted to put the barrel of Flobber caterpillars on Snape's head.
Elwyn and Hermione also returned very late, around eleven thirty in the evening.
When they entered Gryffindor's common room, there was no one inside. Elwyn felt very happy this weekend. He had perfectly avoided Slughorn's invitation to the gala, and there was no Elaine or anyone else around to disturb him. It was just him and Hermione. In the secluded and secluded Room, they could do whatever they wanted. They spent the whole weekend leisurely, making love. It was a perfect two days …
Ever since the return of Lord Voldemort, the two hadn't had this kind of leisure in a long time.
If possible, Elwyn hoped that he could spend the next weekend like this.
… …
In short, since the second week of school, Elwyn and the rest's study life had entered a relatively peaceful period.
Everything was on track. After the attack on the Auror team, nothing major happened in the magic world.
The only thing worth mentioning was that after hearing from Harry about Malfoy's abnormal behavior, Mr. Weasley led a team to search Malfoy's manor again. This matter attracted a lot of attention, but the search team did not find any contraband.
Harry was not willing to give up. He felt that Malfoy might have brought some black magic item to school.
The words he overheard on the Hogwarts express made Harry insist that Malfoy was secretly planning something.
However, no one supported Harry's view. Elwyn did not want to say anything. He decided to follow the plan and let things develop, looking for the right opportunity to make a move. Dumbledore probably had the same idea. He must have heard about this from Snape, but he did not intend to stop Malfoy.
Hermione told Harry that all the students' luggage and owls had been checked. It was impossible for Malfoy to bring any contraband to school.
