The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

After Harry entered the carriage under the leadership of John, he found that Professor Slughorn had invited quite a few people.

At this moment, everyone was looking at Link who was entangled by Neville with a smile on his face.

The main seat next to Link was a half-bald old man.

The old man also noticed Harry at this moment, he got up and waved:

"Look who's here! Harry Potter, our savior! I'm so glad you're here, come here and sit beside me!"

This was probably Professor Slughorn.

Thinking of this, Harry was warmly greeted and sat down next to the old man, with an awkward smile on his face the whole time.

Because the black boy sitting across from him was looking at him contemptuously from the corners of his high eyes.

Especially when Professor Slughorn called him the savior, the other party even sneered contemptuously.

Harry knew exactly where the opponent's hostility came from, because it was a Slytherin, or a Slytherin in his year.

They've been fighting since the first grade, and it's a ghost if the other party gives him a good face.

Sadly, there were not many Slytherins in this carriage.

But Harry knew no less than four people, which was pitifully small compared to them in Gryffindor.

This group of people is now exuding unabashed hostility towards him.

It made it hard for Harry to breathe.

Professor Slughorn apparently saw this too.

But he just smiled lightly and said:

"Okay, everyone is here, so let me introduce you! You may all know Harry Potter, so I won't say much. I will start from here..."

He pointed to the row where the Slytherins were clustered, "Bracey Zabini, his mother is quite an attractive lady..."

The black boy got up and saluted everyone.

"This is Cormac McLaggen. His father is the director of the Apparition Testing Center of the Ministry of Magic. He is a very responsible official. He was also my student!..."

"This is Marcus Belby..."

"This charming young lady is Motley Mona..."

...

After introducing nearly ten people in one breath, Slughorn paused and pointed to Link on the other side.

Harry noticed that at this moment Slughorn looked radiant, even his pale beard was trembling, expressing his joy.

"I don't need to say more about this one, right? Link Foley! You should understand from the name alone, this is a remarkable person!"

Slughorn said happily.

And when he finished speaking, there was deafening applause in this not-so-big carriage.

Neville's whole body was flushed, and he applauded so hard that he even stood up.

But he wasn't the hardest working of all.

The one who was most excited and worked hard was the black boy named Blaise Zabini.

No, not just him.

All Slytherins were extremely excited.

Compared with their previous disdainful attitude towards Harry, that kind of pure and fanatical admiration is simply a world of difference!

Link raised his hand with a smile on his face.

The applause of the audience instantly disappeared as if someone had flipped a switch.

But this did not extinguish the excitement of the crowd.

Everyone was looking at Link with great excitement, even Slughorn was no exception.

Under the gaze of everyone, Link slowly stood up, and said to Blaise Zabini in front of him:

"Your name is Zabini?"

It was said that Blaise Zabini seemed to be a soldier who heard the officer's call, stood up suddenly, straightened his waist, and said in a trembling voice:

"Your Excellency! Just call me Blaise!"

"Hehehe—"

Link smiled, and clapped while laughing, "What a good name, you left a deep impression on me,

I'll remember you, Sabie...Nee! "

[Recommended, Mimi's reading and chasing books is really easy to use, download it here, everyone can try it quickly. 】

After speaking, Link smiled even happier.

That smile was genuine joy.

Seeing this, Blaise Zabini was so excited that his entire face flushed red.

This is not an easy task for him.

After all, his dark complexion made it difficult for other colors to appear on his face.

The rest of the Slytherins also looked at Blaise Zabini with envy.

They all felt that this was Link's admiration for Blaise Zabini.

Some people even have a look of jealousy in their eyes.

Think about it, what an honor it is to be remembered by the famous Link Foley?

Unlike this group of people, Harry's expression looked a little weird.

Based on how well he knew Link, he felt that Link's previous smile was more like a mockery.

It's as if the presence of Blaise Zabini is a joke, a huge one, and Link can't help but laugh.

Sabini is indeed quite funny.

His mother was a famous widow famous in Europe.

This lady is said to have a suffocatingly beautiful face.

But what really made her a household name throughout Europe was that she had been a widow seven times, and that each of her deceased husbands left her a large estate.

After a rigorous investigation, the Ministry of Magic ruled out the suspicion that she had murdered her seven husbands in order to seize the family property.

But this bizarre experience still made her a 'mother mantis'.

It stands to reason that with such a family background, Shabini should be worthy of pity.

After all, he has no father.

But Sabini felt nothing wrong.

Even he is often complacent, showing off the family property his mother won for him.

That's a little annoying.

Thinking of this, Harry couldn't help but want to laugh.

He tried to turn his head away to keep himself from laughing, but he caught Slughorn's eyes.

Slughorn winked at him, which gave Harry the feeling that the other party had seen through him.

"Well, it's a pleasure to get to know you all better." Slughorn said with a smile, turning his head. "Here, get a napkin. I brought my own lunch. I remember the licorice wands on the food trucks always smelling too strong, a poor old man whose digestive system can't handle the stuff... quail, Belby?"

Hearing that the boy named Belby sitting in the corner was obviously taken aback, but he still accepted the half of what looked like a cold quail.

"Link, you may not be familiar with this young Marcus, but you definitely know his uncle Damocles," Slughorn gave Link the other half of the quail, Harry noticed , Link's half quail was obviously bigger than Belby's, "Excellent wizard, very outstanding, and his Merlin Medal is definitely well deserved. Do you often see your uncle, Marcos?"

Eating quail is definitely a technical job.

The flesh of these tiny creatures is rich in texture and aroma, but at the same time, their bones are small and dense.

If you are inexperienced when enjoying this delicacy, it is easy to eat it all over the place, and even get stuck in your throat with bones.

Marcos Belby obviously has no such experience.

When Slughorn turned the topic back to him, he was struggling to bite the ribs of the quail. Slughorn's words made his nerves tense again, which directly caused his face to change suddenly. Turned into a pig liver color, choked to the point of speechlessness.

"An cough disappears."

Link pointed at Belby with his wand, and said calmly, Belby's trachea seemed to be unblocked all of a sudden.

Belby, who had regained his strength, choked on his tears, panting heavily and said:

"No... I don't see him very often."

Link put down his wand and said lightly:

"You should visit him more often. Your uncle is very knowledgeable in potions. He invented and improved the famous wolfbane potion. This invention has benefited countless people who were accidentally infected with the werewolf virus and allowed him to obtain A badge of the Order of Merlin."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the carriage looked sideways.

This was the first time they had heard of Belby's uncle having such outstanding achievements.

After so many years, Belbico has never mentioned this matter once!

Harry's and Neville's expressions also changed drastically.

You know, Professor Lupine is also a werewolf.

If it weren't for Wolfsbane Potion and Link's help, he might not be able to return to human society until now!

Facing all the complex gazes of the crowd, Belby smiled wryly and shook his head:

"Well...well, he doesn't have a great relationship with my dad, so I haven't actually seen him much..."

Belby's voice grew lower and lower, and finally died away.

Because halfway through his words, Slughorn began to sneer, and turned to look at McLaggen on the other side.

"And you, Cormac," said Slughorn, "I happen to know that you used to see your Uncle Tiberus a lot, because he had a picture of the two of you in... Let me see, in Great picture of a Norfolk hunt for a giant-tailed beast, isn't it?"

"Oh, yes, that would be fun,"

McLaggen said beamingly, "We also went with Betty Higgins and Rufus Scrimgeour—of course, this happened during his lifetime."

"Ah, you still know Betty and Rufus?"

Slughorn said with some emotion, and took out a plate of pies to share with everyone, but for some reason he missed Belby, "Unfortunately, Rufus is dead. This is really a pity, he He is a very competent director of the Auror Office. You mean, right? Link, as one of the current members of the tripartite committee of the Ministry of Magic, you should be very clear about this."

Hearing this, Link pondered for a moment and said:

"He's a pure soldier."

As soon as this remark came out, Slughorn nodded deeply. He seemed very excited, and even the circles of his eyes were red.

Seeing this, Shabini and others in the carriage also bowed their heads in silence.

Only John is different.

The corner of the guy's mouth couldn't help but rise up when he heard this.

He knows it all too well.

Link's evaluation of Scrimgeour's so-called "pure soldier" is definitely not a compliment.

One must know that the Auror troop led by Scrimgeour had thought of attacking the Hunters of the Foley family.

It can be said that they are absolute enemies.

That's why John didn't have the slightest liking for Scrimgeour.

And what about the final result?

Isn't Scrimgeour dead?

Even the Auror troops he is proud of have now become Link's minions!

No one at the scene noticed John's expression.

Slughorn also recovered quickly, and after wiping away the tears that were faintly visible from the corners of his eyes, he said to Neville:

"Then next, it's Mr. Longbottom's turn. Oh! Longbottom, when I hear this surname, I think of your grandma. I taught her for a year when I first became a professor of Potions at Hogwarts." , She was so beautiful and radiant at that time! How is her body now?"

"Thank you for your concern. Grandma is in good health, but it is a bit inconvenient to move around."

"This is a problem that all old people have. Not only her, but I am acting worse than her now. But that's okay, we are wizards, and there are ways to solve this problem."

Slughorn's expression suddenly became serious as he spoke, "I'm sorry about what happened to your parents. They are both excellent and kind people. I sincerely wish them a speedy recovery."

Hearing that Neville was a little moved, he took a deep breath and said:

"Thank you, I'll pass it on to them."

Slughorn nodded in satisfaction and said:

"This is really great. But I'm a little confused now, because I heard some rumors about you before I came here, and they all said that you are a little... er... a little shy. But according to what I saw today , but things don’t want to be what they said. Is this someone trying to slander you?”

"No, Professor Slughorn, they don't judge me as a slander. I am indeed timid and cowardly, and I like to cry. But that was me before, and I am different now!"

"Oh? How do you say that?"

"It's all thanks to Link! Link gave me a new life, I..."

Neville choked up.

But even so, he still recounted what happened to him during this period.

That kind of sincere emotion made Harry's eyes flush even after hearing it for the second time.

The others also had expressions on their faces.

But at this moment, the door on the other side of the carriage suddenly opened.

Emily, who was dressed in black like Link, walked in.

She put some pumpkin stew on the dining table, and said with a smile:

"Sorry, I'm late, did I miss something?"

"You missed a lot." Link also said with a smile, "Neville has been reborn, and just now he kept saying that he should work hard, become better and repay me. Seriously, Neville, you didn't This is necessary. But I still welcome you to work in the Ministry of Magic after graduation, and I welcome talents like you very much."

As soon as this remark was made, Shabini and the others on the opposite side cast envious glances at Neville.

Link's words are equivalent to giving Neville an default qualification.

This is the preferential treatment that ordinary students don't even think about.

Slughorn also looked at Link in surprise.

It seemed that he didn't understand why Link would say such a thing.

After all, in his opinion, Neville did not seem to have inherited the outstanding talents of the Longbottom family.

"Professor Slughorn, don't you know?" Link said in a surprised tone, "Neville has an amazing talent in herbal medicine, and Dean Sprout has always been optimistic about him. .”

"So that's the case! This is the first time I've heard of it. It looks like I'll have to investigate you in the future, Neville. You know, children who can learn herbal medicine well are generally not weak in potions. .”

Slughorn suddenly realized, glanced at Neville who was full of energy, and then said, "But compared to these, I would actually like to hear about your experience, Link, you are definitely a legend among legends." , and those things that happened to you must be very bizarre, right?"

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard the words.

Link is a Hogwarts legend, and his story has long been known in Hogwarts.

Even because of the relationship between Ron and his two irrelevant brothers, many unreliable magic-modified versions have been derived.

But everyone still likes to hear Link speak in person.

Looking at the expectant eyes of everyone, Link also cleared his throat with a smile, as if he was about to speak.

But at this moment, a deafening bang exploded from the direction of the front of the car!
