I can enter Hogwarts in the end of the world - Chapter 398

c394 Professor Slughorn’s endorsement

Badley Barberton Village.

A rural village in southern England where Professor Slughorn currently lives.

“Barberton No. 35… should be right in front, hurry up and follow.”

Hermione walked ahead with the map in hand, looking back from time to time to urge.

Hearing this, Ian could only speed up his pace helplessly, “If you ask me, you are just looking for trouble! Everyone uses the fireplace, but you are special…”

However, before he could finish speaking, Hermione decisively refused: “I told you that when you visit a professor at home for the first time, you must enter through the main entrance. This is etiquette.”

“It’s really strange. Muggle etiquette is used to restrain wizards. Then do I have to bring famous wine and flowers? And a tie by the way…” Ian muttered softly.

“What did you say?” Hermione turned around and looked at Ian expressionlessly.

“I said it’s right to go through the front door. You’re right. It’s all etiquette…” Ian lowered his head, focusing on following his heart.

After all, we’ve come here, and there’s no point in arguing anymore. Moreover, he didn’t think he could win against Hermione, after all, this wasn’t in the bedroom at night.

“Pfft~haha.”

Hermione was also amused by his wilting appearance, and stepped forward with open arms to hug Ian.

After their cheeks were pressed together, Hermione whispered in Ian’s ear: “Be good, when I’m done with this period of time, I’ll stay with you.”

His cheeks were slightly dizzy, and his breath was like blue… Taking a deep breath, Ian felt that the wait during this period was worth it. Even the slightest complaint that had just arisen in his heart disappeared in his breath.

“Ang! Then we have an agreement.” Ian said softly, and then buried his head in Hermione’s brown hair.

“Okay, it’s settled! But now we really have to hurry up. We’d better not be late for our first meeting.” Hermione said softly.

Ian opened his arms with some reluctance, but he could still distinguish the priorities clearly.

As Hermione said, it’s best not to be late for an appointment with others, even if Professor Slughorn doesn’t care.

…

No. 35 Barberton.

“Hahaha, long time no see, Ian!” Professor Slughorn opened his hands and greeted warmly, then he turned his head to look at Hermione and said:

“This must be Miss Granger. Welcome to your visit. It’s hard to imagine that your test scores last year were all O. I knew from the previous letter that I was going to teach a genius again.”

Faced with Professor Slughorn’s 360° praise, Hermione, who has always been strong, rarely showed a bit of shyness.

“Thank you for your approval, Professor!” Hermione replied politely.

“Come with me quickly, I’ve just made black tea and fresh pineapple preserves.”

Under the leadership of Professor Slughorn, the group came to the living room and looked at the furnishings in the room. Ian also sighed at the taste of life of this fat old man, who really knew how to enjoy it.

All antique furniture from the Victorian era, exquisite murals, tapestries that look like works of art…

Even the cups used to drink tea look like antique porcelain from a distant country, with azure glaze that makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Facing the familiar porcelain, Ian couldn’t help but praise: “A very beautiful teacup, Professor.”

The simple compliment seemed to scratch Professor Slughorn’s itch. The fat old man first looked at the tea cup with a slightly proud look, and then said in a pretentious manner:

“This was given by my former student, Fabian Windsor! After graduation, he went to the Far East…”

Professor Slughorn always remembers outstanding students.

For example, now, Porcelain is just mentioned briefly, and then he focuses on introducing his students, and a series of contents… even more complete than his resume.

It can be seen from this that what makes this fat old man proud is never a precious gift, but students who have made a difference.

After a brief greeting.

Slughorn then looked at Hermione and said, “Miss Granger, I wonder if you can help me make a dreamless sleeping potion. You know, as I get older, sleep has become my biggest problem. .”

Here comes the topic! Ian thought to himself, but he was very knowledgeable and did not interfere.

The Dreamless Sleeping Potion is very simple, but as part of the sixth grade potions class, a fourth grade student is asked to brew it…

To be honest, Ian felt that Slughorn had given him some face, otherwise the test questions would not have been the simplest potions among the sixth grade content.

After all, a genius like Snape could improve his techniques in his first year.

On the other side, Hermione’s intelligence also allowed her to quickly react. This was a test given by the professor.

Why does a potion master at this age lack potions if he doesn’t sleep well?

“Of course, it would be my pleasure. But I might be able to borrow your cauldron and some medicinal materials.”

Hearing Hermione’s confident answer, the smile on Professor Slughorn’s face became more obvious.

“Then what are you waiting for? Miss Granger, please come with me.” After saying that, he stood up and walked to the next room.

Hearing this, Hermione quickly stood up and followed closely behind.

…

Ten minutes later, Ian sat on the sofa bored and cheered. He turned his head and glanced at the two people who were still busy. Judging from the situation, it would probably take a while to finish.

To be honest, he quite admired Slughorn, especially the little detail just now.

After the two entered the pharmacy, Slughorn left the door open the entire time, allowing every move inside to be clearly visible.

A while passed, and just when Ian was about to fall asleep, the two of them walked from the living room one after another.

Professor Slughorn even held a bottle of light green translucent potion in his hand, “It’s of great quality. With it, I will definitely be able to sleep well tonight.”

“The techniques you taught are also very practical, saving at least 20% of the cooking time.” Hermione said happily.

Comparison only hurts. After accepting Professor Slughorn’s guidance, Hermione discovered what Snape had been teaching before…

She really wanted to stand in front of him and say loudly: Your Potions class is really bad!

Of course, this was just a thought, Hermione was not crazy enough to provoke Snape.

On the other side, Professor Slughorn looked at the potion in his hand for a while and said: “I was worried that you would not be able to keep up with the progress when Ian recommended it to me. Now it seems that my worries are unnecessary. .”

After that, he took out two thick notebooks from the drawer, handed them to Hermione, and said:

“One is a group project and one is my personal project. If you have time, I suggest you read both and send me your thoughts next week.”

“I will read both books carefully!” Hermione vowed, asking her to choose one? joke! Don’t even think about it, you have to learn them all.

Seeing Hermione’s confident expression, Professor Slughorn also smiled and said nothing. Geniuses are like this, he has seen it all too often.
