At breakfast the next day, Elwyn told Hermione and Elaine about what had happened the night before.
Hermione followed Elwyn's train of thought and analyzed, but Elaine's focus was not on this.
She said that when she was a child, she also had companions who liked to bully others. The usual way to deal with them was to give them a good beating, and they would behave themselves!
Cruelty, secrecy, and a domineering nature were all useless.
If they did not obey, she would beat them until they did. This kind of educational method was indeed straightforward, and it might be effective.
Riddle should be glad that he was in the Muggle Orphanage instead of the Vampire Castle. Otherwise, he would not have had the chance to grow up.
Because of what he had done in the orphanage, he would have been beaten to death!
When Harry and Ron came over, judging from Ron's expression, they knew that Harry had told him everything.
"It's incredible!" He could not wait to express his opinion as soon as he sat down. "I mean, it's so scary. The mysterious man in his youth and his unknown experiences are not something that ordinary people have the chance to see."
"Yes, it's a very precious memory."
"But I still don't understand why Dumbledore would let you two see this?" Ron continued to ask, pulling a plate of grilled sausages in front of him. "It's interesting, but what's the use?"
"I don't know. Dumbledore said this is very important," Harry said. "Maybe it can help me survive..."
He could not help thinking about the prophecy again. In the prophecy, only one of him or Lord Voldemort would survive.
To live or to die, that was the question.
Harry hoped that he could take the initiative instead of waiting for Lord Voldemort to choose.
"I think it's very attractive!" Hermione analyzed seriously. "Dumbledore must have thought it through before letting you see this. It's definitely meaningful to understand the Lord Voldemort as much as possible. Otherwise, how could you discover his weakness?"
"Only by understanding Lord Voldemort can we defeat him," Elwyn said. "By the way, how was Slughorn's party last night?"
Last night, while Elwyn and Harry were attending Dumbledore's class, Hermione and Elaine went to Professor Slughorn's party. After hearing that Slughorn had prepared special dragon blood, Elaine lost all resistance.
Sure enough, this guy reminisced and said, "The food was delicious. It was high-grade dragon blood. I heard …"
Apart from her, no one else was interested in the smell of dragon blood.
"What about other aspects?" Elwyn asked, interrupting Elaine's recollection of the taste of high-grade dragon blood.
"Hmm, other aspects?!" Elaine stopped, tilted her head, and looked at Elwyn. She seemed to be thinking about it for a long time before saying, "I don't remember anything except for the delicious food."
If Professor Slughorn heard this answer, what would he think?
What a failed party. He had invited Elaine, not to let her eat to her heart's content.
But for such a foodie, there shouldn't be any unnecessary expectations.
"It was actually quite fun." Hermione took over the topic at the right time. "Just like Elaine said, the food prepared by Slughorn was exquisite. There were a lot of things I've never eaten before, and they were delicious. Although he nagged endlessly about how famous his former students were, and he was obviously trying to please McClagan, because McClagan knew a lot of big shots, other than that, the rest was pretty good. By the way, he also introduced us to Gwenog Jones. "
"Gwenog Jones?" Ron jerked his head up, his mouth full of sausages, bread, and eggs. He swallowed hard, and his eyes widened. "Is it that Gwenog Jones? The captain of the Holyhead Hobbits? "
"That's right!" Hermione said. "I personally think she's a bit egotistical, but she's not a bad person. She's a bit famous."
"Oh my god, Hermione. She's not just a bit famous. She's very famous!" Ron immediately retorted.
As everyone knew, the Holyhead Hobbits were a very old Welsh team.
This team was unique among all the Quidditch teams in the world because its members had always been female wizards.
Although the members were all female, the Holyhead Hobbits had an amazing record in history.
They had created countless classics and left a deep impression on the audience.
For example, in the 1953 Quidditch final against the Heidelberg Hounds, the game lasted seven days and was very difficult. In the end, the Holyhead Hobbits' ball-seeker, Glennie Gris, caught the Snitch in an amazing move and ended the game, winning the championship that year.
The most memorable scene was not the Hobbits winning the championship, but the end of the game, when Rudolf, the captain of the Heidelberg Hounds, jumped off his broom and proposed to his opponent, Gwendor Morgan, in front of everyone.
It was said that the scene was very romantic and touching, and countless spectators witnessed it.
But Morgan did not accept the proposal. Instead, she hit Rudolf with her broom and gave him a concussion …
The dramatic ending also made the incident a classic, and it was still talked about to this day.
After that, the Holyhead Hobbits went downhill for a few years.
Since Gwenog Jones became the captain, the team had been revitalized. This year, it was considered one of the four teams most likely to win the championship, along with Kemmel Red Falcons, Wimbledon Hornets and Tashtell Tornadoes. Gwenog Jones was also considered a star player.
Even though the magic world was in chaos, it did not stop the wizards' enthusiasm for Quidditch.
It was no wonder that Ron was so excited when such a character appeared in the Hogwarts.
"You should ask her for an autograph," he said aloud.
Hermione ignored him and said to Elwyn and Harry, "Next, Slughorn is going to hold a Christmas ball. He specifically asked me to see which night you two are free so that he can arrange the party on a night that you can come. I think you two should come instead of continuing to refuse. It's not as bad as you think. "
"I remember, I promised him that I would bring you two there," Elaine interrupted, looking at Elwyn expectantly.
"Well, I'm free anytime," Elwyn said and decided to go to Slughorn's party.
The action was scheduled for the Christmas holiday, and he had prepared everything that needed to be prepared. He did not have anything urgent to do recently …
In that case, it was not a bad idea to go to Slughorn's party.
