Chapter 1342 Slughorn's Invitation

Malfoy hadn't done much good after being a prefect last term. r?anwen??????????`??

Not only did he work for the special investigation team, trouble Gryffindors, but he often bullied first-year students.

Especially at the beginning of the semester, Malfoy led Goyle and Crabbe around the castle, looking for students who violated discipline, or deducting points for any reason, or even giving other punishments. Excessive use the prefect's rights.

He enjoyed it, wishing he could hang the prefect badge on his chest at any time, but now he voluntarily gave up his status as a prefect...

"You know, Harry, I kind of agree with you. Malfoy is really suspicious, and it's not like him to miss a good opportunity to show off his authority as a prefect. He was always showing off last semester." Luo En said, making the gesture again, "I have a plan, why don't we strip him naked and see if he has the Dark Mark."

He re-expressed the plan that was rejected by Ivan and Hermione not long ago, hoping to get Harry's support.

"Forget about this stupid idea, if Malfoy is not a Death Eater, you two will be out of luck, why not change to a safer plan?" Hermione said, "Even if he is really a Death Eater, in the You can't do anything in school."

"Your thinking is too optimistic, Hermione, don't underestimate Malfoy." Ron said, continuing to look at Harry, "What do you think?"

"We can take this idea as a last resort," said Harry, his mind racing.

Malfoy gave up on the prefect. Does that mean he has more important things in his heart than bullying his classmates?

Speculation about Malfoy's suspicious behavior in Knockturn Alley came back to Harry's mind.

Like a slide show, that scene resurfaced before his eyes.

Before the train started, he had told Mr. Weasley about this, but the other party was unwilling to believe him. There were all signs that Malfoy's behavior was suspicious, but they lacked enough evidence. Could it really be like As Ron said...

"Please, you two take Malfoy too seriously. Elaine just said that she didn't know what Malfoy had with werewolves. We didn't see where he went that day. We just heard the last werewolf talk. Nonsense." Hermione said, "I think it is very wise for him to give up the prefect, because he knows that if he continues to be the prefect, he must obey Alvin's orders, and he cannot..."

Before she could finish speaking, the door of the carriage was pulled open, and a panting third-grade girl walked in.

"I'm here to give these to Neville Longbottom, Harry Potter, Elaine Slytherin, Hermione Granger, and Ivan Mason." She stammered, her eyes met Harry's, and she was immediately ashamed. Flushed, she seemed to have a crush on Harry.

She handed over five rolls of parchment tied with purple ribbons, on which were written their respective names.

After Ivan and the others took it, the girl stumbled and ran out of the car.

"What?" Ron asked curiously, staring at the scrolls in the hands of several people.

"An invitation," said Harry.

"It's Professor Slughorn." Ivan said, throwing the scroll aside without even reading it. He knew what was written in it.

Dumbledore also said before that Slughorn may be wary of his strength and needs to investigate for a period of time before making a decision on whether to win him over. Now it seems that Slughorn has made a decision. Amazingly fast.

That's right, he won't let Aiwen go, and he will definitely woo Aiwen to join his club.

"He wants to invite us to lunch in compartment C," said Hermione, looking at the words on the scroll.

"It sounds good, you can eat for free, will the food he prepares satisfy our taste?" Elaine asked suspiciously.

"Wait, who is Professor Slughorn?" Neville looked at his invitation in bewilderment.

"A new teacher," said Harry, "seems we've got to go, don't we?"

"That's right, it's very rude to directly reject a professor's invitation." Ivan said, "But if we feel bored, we can leave early, which shouldn't be considered rude."

He didn't hate Slughorn or the club, he just didn't want to be asked embarrassing questions.

"I still don't get it, why did he ask me?" Neville asked uneasily, as if he was going to be sent to solitary confinement.

"You'll know when you go, and it's not a bad thing." Harry comforted him, suddenly a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he thought of a good way, "We can go wearing the invisibility cloak, and we can take a closer look at Malfoy on the way to see what he's up to." What do you want to do?"

"you sure?"

It was lunchtime, and the corridors were so crowded with people waiting to be delivered that it was impossible to get through while wearing an invisibility cloak.

Still, Harry stuffed his Invisibility Cloak into his bag.

"Harry, don't do anything stupid," Hermione said worriedly.

"I'm just carrying it just in case," Harry muttered, following them out of the carriage.

The carriage was full of students. As soon as they came out, everyone was staring at Ivan and Harry with curiosity in their eyes.

Some students even ran out of the carriages in a hurry, just to have a good look at them.

It's been a while since news of Voldemort's return was confirmed.

But I have to admit that the series of events that happened during the summer vacation and the panic of their families made the students truly realize how serious the situation is. become more overwhelming.

Ivan had already experienced this feeling when he was patrolling in the morning, and there were still many people staring at Elaine.

It was the first time Harry stepped out of the carriage, and now he really wanted to put on the Invisibility Cloak and disappear from everyone.

Everyone was pointing at them, except for Qiu Zhang, who jumped into her car as soon as she saw Harry approaching.

Passing by the window of her box, she can be seen talking earnestly with her friend.

Since Gryffindor defeated Ravenclaw in the last Quidditch match of last term, Harry and Cho's relationship has ended, as has Ginny and Michael's, and a lot of Ravenclaw's Students also withdraw from d.a. activities.

When they arrived in carriage C, it was already full of people, and Slughorn invited more than five of them.

It's really difficult for him, at such an age, he sorted out the situation of all the students in Hogwarts in such a short time, and confirmed the goal.

Anyway, judging by Slughorn's warm welcome, they were the ones he was most looking forward to seeing.

Especially Ivan, Harry and Elaine, seeing the three of them, Slughorn's eyes could even shine.

"Oh, my dear children, I am so glad to see you," he said, jumping down from his chair.

The big belly in the velvet clothes almost filled the remaining space in the carriage. His shining bald head and big silver-white beard were like the golden buttons on his vest, shining brightly in the sun. shine.
