Chapter 127 Chapter 127
Without saying a few words, we saw that the entrance of the ball suddenly became noisy.
It turned out that it was Filch who came. Filch, as the security guard of the prom, always hides in every corner of the school with his cat. After all, not everyone can attend the prom. people.
When I found out that the culprit was Draco, I almost knocked over my glass.
With a gloomy face, Draco was reluctantly pulled in by Filch by his collar.
"Professor! I saw Malfoy sneaking around the ball!" Filch reported loudly.It was really a tiger falling flat and being bullied by a dog. Filch, who once teamed up with Draco several times to tease Potter, now looks down on him.
Draco muttered insulting words like "squib" in a low voice, which made Filch furious. Filch grabbed his collar and glared at him angrily: "What did you say!?"
Seeing that the two were about to fight, Slughorn had to intervene. He separated Filch and Draco with his hands, frowning and dissatisfied that they interrupted his dance, and everyone else stopped After noticing what he was doing, he turned his head to look this way. The dance party became very quiet because of Filch's intrusion.
"What happened?" Slughorn asked, looking at Filch with sternness in his eyes.After all, he is still a highly respected professor. Filch stopped being so noisy in front of Slughorn, but calmly said in a low voice: "Malfoy obviously didn't receive the invitation, but he showed up at the ball." , this is clearly trying to ruin the dance party!"
In fact, the ball had already been ruined by Filch himself.
"Who said I didn't receive the invitation!" Draco responded stiffly to Filch's random accusations. He broke away from Filch's hand that had been grabbing his collar, straightened his tie, and looked at him with disdain. to him.At this time, I also pushed through the crowd and walked over, came in front of several people, and helped Draco out: "I'm sorry, Professor, I invited Malfoy to come."
Draco didn't look at me. He seemed to feel ashamed to appear in front of me like this. He was arrested and asked me to help him out. He pursed his lips and his eyes wandered.
"But Miss Ferris, isn't your dance partner Mr. Zabini? My ball does not allow a person to have two partners." Slughorn looked at me suspiciously, and then looked into the distance Brace.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I thought..." I stopped talking, because I really didn't know how to make it up later.
But Draco refused my invitation to the ball, and I was a little surprised that he came here privately. If he wanted to go to the ball to learn something, he could come with me. It was unnecessary for him to do so.
"Okay, okay." Slughorn didn't want to waste any more time, he waved his hand at us, "Mr. Malfoy has not received the invitation, so he can't enter the ball, Filch will still Take him out!"
"Yes……"
"Let me do it!" Snape suddenly appeared behind us, still looking angry, looking at each of us coldly.Even Slughorn, who is a professor, couldn't help trembling slightly after meeting Snape's eyes.
Before anyone else could speak, Snape grabbed Draco's shoulders and dragged him roughly out of the ballroom without allowing him to resist.Professor Slughorn smiled at everyone and raised his glass, indicating that the dance would continue.
The little episode didn't really spoil the progress of the dance, and everyone continued to eat, drink, sing and dance until the end.The students who had fun all held hands and left. Some went back to the dormitory to rest and prepare to go home tomorrow, while some disappeared in pairs into the dark place of the school.
I signed off on the detention list and it was the first holiday I didn't go home because a lot of things were going to happen and my father wrote me and told me that after that my mission was to stay at Hogwarts - well stay at Hogwarts.
Blaise was going home, so after saying goodbye to me, he staggered back to Slytherin alone, he was a little drunk.Only Merlin knew what kind of wine Slughorn had prepared for us. It was delicious but easy to get drunk.My mind is also a little heavy, but I still stay awake.
Slughorn was different, I think he was the happiest one tonight, the students were toasting him glass after glass, and he was enjoying himself too.The professor is currently sitting slumped on a single sofa, hiccupping with a flushed face, and it seems that his mind is no longer clear, and he may not even understand who he is.
I picked up a new glass of wine and walked over, pulled a wooden chair and sat beside the professor: "Professor, are you okay? Come and drink some wine to sober up."
I handed him the wine, he smiled at me, took the glass and drank it down: "This wine was given to me by a friend of mine in Scotland, who said that after drinking it, he would dream of the world at night. The most beautiful thing on the table." Holding the wine glass, he looked confidently at the foam residue inside, "Do you think it's delicious? Sofina."
"It's very sweet." I replied, "I'm really happy that the professor generously treats us to drink such fine wine!"
Slughorn nodded with a smile, and seemed very satisfied with my answer. He smiled for a while, then turned to look at me and asked: "The dance is over, why don't you go back? Tomorrow is the day you leave school , don’t leave any luggage behind.”
"I have something to do at home this semester, so my father let me stay in school. I will spend the New Year at Hogwarts with the professors!" I said, "I just have a question I want to ask you."
"Question? Oh, oh, you mean the principle of the variation of asparagus and ice liquid that I talked about in class last time? That is indeed very complicated. In this final exam, no one in the class except Potter got it right... ..."
"It's not this, professor." I don't care about asparagus and ice liquid, "I just want to ask, is there anything that can split people's souls."
Slughorn laughed: "Hahahahaha Sophie, your questions are always so far-fetched, there is no potion in the world that can split the soul... Wait, what did you say?"
The professor, who was still in a daze just now, seemed to have been given a big bowl of hangover soup, and his face suddenly became vigilant and looked at me.His face, which was originally flushed from the wine, also began to turn pale.
I didn't beat around the bush anymore, I made up my mind to dig out some information about Horcruxes from him today. Among all the teachers in Slytherin, apart from Snape, he knows the black magic best!
"You understand what I'm talking about, Professor." I still sat obediently on my chair, staring at him, "I once learned... Horcruxes can split people's souls, is this true? "
"This is not something you should know!" He yelled at me, and stood up from the sofa, waving his hand to drive me away, "You should go back! Ferrez! It's too late today!"
Slughorn's tone was very bad, as if I would let him die if I stayed here any longer.
"Please tell me! I really want to know! Do Horcruxes really exist! Why don't people die after their souls are split?" I also stood up and kept asking him questions.
"I said this is not something you should know, I won't tell you!"
"Why can you tell Tom Riddle but not me!?"
Seeing the professor's excited look, I was also anxious. I frowned and accused him almost in a blameful tone, "Why is everyone always avoiding Horcruxes? Just like everyone is avoiding Voldemort! Dumbledore Told us, we don’t have to be afraid of Voldemort at all!” I even called out Voldemort’s name for the sake of cliche, although my heart trembled slightly when I said this name, for fear that Voldemort could hear me shouting in the distance .
"How dare you say the name of 'that person'!" Slughorn was also shocked, "Get out of here quickly!"
"If you don't tell me today! I won't leave!" In order to protect the secrets of the past, Slughorn is unwilling to alert others to discover our quarrel. He has nothing to do with my stubbornness. .
"Do you know how evil the Horcrux is! It's as evil as that person!" The professor stomped anxiously
"What kind of evil law is it?" The professor, whose brain has been paralyzed by alcohol, always speaks without thinking, so I patiently continued to talk.
"Evil horcruxes can only be made by evil people! Those with twisted minds will think about splitting their own souls! This is going against the sky!"
"How can you be considered an evil person? Do all kinds of bad things?"
"Is there anything more evil than killing people in the world! Wantonly obliterating other people's lives and trampling on their dignity!" Slughorn seemed to recall some painful things, and he was no longer as excited as before, but He covered his face and fell on the sofa, "Everyone's life has value and meaning! To kill a person is to destroy everyone's hard work, destroy the parents who raised him, and destroy the love for him. A friendly friend also destroys a lover who loves him deeply! Killing a person for his own benefit will make more people despair and fear! Horcruxes are made by absorbing the life of the victim and the fear of others of!"
Sure enough, I can't understand these things by relying on books alone. Every sentence of the professor seems to be a point for me to learn.
But every sentence of his has become a thorn in my heart. If I want to break the spell on my body, I must refine the Horcrux, and to refine the Horcrux, I must kill people.I dare not kill, and I am afraid to kill.
The professor is right, if I kill one person, I will attract the hatred of many people, I will bear a bad reputation forever, and even be burned at the stake by my fellow wizards.
Killing is a serious crime in the Muggle world, and even more so in the wizarding world!Every wizard has a deep understanding of life, and they will not harm anyone.But the black wizard is the existence that runs counter to it. There is no black wizard whose hands are not covered with blood, so the black wizard is isolated.
But the Dark wizards themselves formed a group - the Death Eaters.
Listening to what the professor said, I felt a burning pain in my forearm. The Death Eater mark on it told me that I am a dark wizard and I must kill people. Even if I don’t kill people now, I will do so someday kill.
"Tom Riddle is such an evil man." Slughorn's voice was a little hoarse, he seemed to be regretting that he had taught a scum, and then his emotions were infinitely magnified by the alcoholism. The cunning and mellow professor burst into tears, "He split his soul seven times! Seven times! I believe he killed more than seven people! Those who kill for Horcruxes must be honest... that is, murder Only those who are numb and have no sense of killing can forge successful Horcruxes! Before killing these seven people, Riddle almost slaughtered his entire family!... All the Muggles who are related to him by blood!"
I listened to Slughorn talking, unable to speak, just looked at him quietly.
Maybe I'll be Voldemort's right-hand man, maybe I'll kill people too, but I'll never reach Voldemort's height—kill like hemp!
This is why there are so many dark wizards in the world, only Voldemort has refined a Horcrux.
Before, I was still fascinated by the horcrux, but after listening to the professor's words, my thoughts were completely dispelled. These stories made me feel chills all over my body!
Snoopy also didn't understand Horcruxes, so he boldly let me try.Obviously what happened to Andy should teach us a lesson. Andy himself must have been very painful when he killed someone, so not only did his soul fail to split, but he added a demon to himself, which led to his final death.
Slughorn was silent for a long time, he slowly raised his head to look at me, I could see the sadness on his face: "Sofina, is the Horcrux also your goal? I heard that Hogwarts also had it before. A girl tried a Horcrux...and she failed."
He seems to have found out about Andy from other places.
The professor continued: "You will never succeed, never...Is immortality so good to you? Make yourself inhuman and ghost...and...and Tom can no longer be called Be human! Sophie, I don't know what you think in your heart, but since you haven't started yet, there is still room for redemption. I will tell Dumbledore about our previous conversation, maybe I can't convince you ...but Dumbledore can..."
"Dumbledore is so powerful!" A woman came in from the door of the ballroom. She was wearing a black cloak, familiar short hair, and familiar makeup. She was Snoopy.
Snoopy walked up to us, and before Slughorn could react, he took out his wand and yelled at him: "Forget nothing!"
The light from the wand penetrated into Slughorn's head, sending him into a deep sleep.
"If you report these words to Dumbledore, we will be in trouble." Snoopy let out a breath, retracted his wand, turned around to look at me, and said with a naughty smile, "I didn't expect the Horcrux There are so many ways!"
"You know it!" I looked at the sleeping professor, trembling slightly, and shouted at Snoopy, "You want me to kill people!"
"Honey, to refine a Horcrux, you have to kill people, that's what it says in the book!"
"The book only said to erase life, but it didn't say it was human!"
"What's the difference? The life of other creatures is also life, and the life of human beings is also life. You can't treat them differently!"
"You asked Andy to kill people! But she failed! You don't know what else to do besides kill people! That's why you asked me to find Slughorn!"
The author has something to say:
Now there is another bottleneck... After reading everyone's comments and thinking about it carefully, I decided not to let the female lead practice Horcruxes. After all, once Horcruxes are made, they are really destined to be
