Professor Slughorn's hand trembled violently, pulling a few strands from his walrus beard.
"That's what Albus said meow, he said you like to collect everyone as a collectible in your slug club."
(????v??v????)
Fish said the truth.
"Albus, this guy" Slughorn showed a toothache expression on his face, then shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "I don't deny such a statement, but the so-called 'collection', It's just a joke between me and my friends" He scratched his forehead a little depressed, "Did Albus tell you what the nature of my club is?"
"Yes, he said that your club is to get benefits from them meow!"
"For benefits" Slughorn rolled his eyes helplessly, "Well, this is indeed one of the original intentions of my establishment of the club, but I don't just know what to ask for, members are equal, The relationship of mutual help does not mean that they really become my subordinates or collections." He patiently explained to Fish.
"That's right, Fish, I can join the Harpy team with the help of the professor." Jones also chimed in.
"Oh, dear Gwenog, in fact, I only helped a little bit. With your talent, even without my recommendation, you will be able to join the Harpy team sooner or later. It is the best for you to be the captain. Good explanation." Not sure if it was for the sake of Amfish, Slughorn said very modestly.
"Huh? Then isn't this just making friends, meow?"
(????w????)??
Fish scratched his head in doubt, and said with his own understanding.
"You're not wrong to say that," Slughorn put down the wine glass in his hand, clapped his hands and said, "My slug club is to bring together capable people, let them know and communicate with each other, and then each of them gets their own benefits." needed."
"Of course, if they can give me a little favor within their abilitysuch as a bottle of good wine, a ticket, or a special ham made by the elves" He pointed to the fish on Fish's plate. There was a small piece of ham left, then he winked at Mao Mao, smiled and said, "That would be great."
Before Slughorn came over, he discovered that Fish had a soft spot for the ham on the table.
"That's right! Albus seems to have said the same thing, meow"
? ∑(??ΦДΦ??)
Fish previously focused on the "collection", ignoring other content.
Of course, the more important reason is
It is quite common for Fish to be given food, drinks and toys by others, so when he heard what Dumbledore said, he thought these were insignificant things.
However, after being dazed for a moment, Maomao quickly came to his senses and said, "But when you were looking at Fish and Harry that day, your eyes were weird, and Fish doesn't like meowing either."
On this point, Slughorn is also able to explain.
"Yes, I always lose my composure when I see talented students." He admitted frankly, "It's like a strange desire to collect, and I can't help but want to list you as outstanding students. students in my club, which is what Albus and I, and some other old friends, will jokingly refer to as my 'collection' but really, I won't do anything bad to you things."
"Is that so meow?"
(????w????)??
Fish looked at Hermione who was on the side. He probably could understand Slughorn's explanation, but was what the other party said the same as what Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall said? Still can't tell from experience.
Hermione nodded slightly.
Of course, Slughorn is not quite as harmless as he said himself. He enjoys the feeling of having a large number of contacts and relying on these contacts to get some special treatment, but in general, he does not hurt the members of the club. , on the contrary, as Dumbledore said, he regards the members as collections and will protect them well, but when these "collections" lose their value, his attitude will immediately change to treat Neville and Luo Well that's it.
Of course, it's not easy for Hermione to tell Fish directly here, so she simply nodded and told Fish that Slughorn really had no bad intentions.
Fish shook his head, feeling that there was still something wrong
the"Ah! That's right! You have a bad attitude towards Neville and Ron, meow!"
?Jealous 1?
Mao Mao began to fight for his friends again.
However, Slughorn didn't think there was anything wrong with this, after all, his values ??were like this.
"Yes, I don't pay too much attention to those without talent." He smiled, but said coldly: "For me, people without talent are not worth making friends with at all, so naturally I won't Waste your time on them."
This is Slughorn's life creed for decades, and even Fisher can't change it.
"So Fish doesn't like you! I don't want to join your club either! Suck!"
(????v﹃v????)
After Mao Mao finished speaking, he couldn't help but glanced at the food on the table, and then sucked back the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
"Hahahahaha!" Slughorn laughed loudly at this time, "It's okay, it's okay," he waved his hand, and said to Fish, "I won't force others to join my club." , it doesn't matter if you don't want to join"
Then he changed the topic, "But when I hold a party in the future, I still hope you can appreciate it." Slughorn said with a smile: "You know, I like to make friends with talented students like you. It doesn't change if you don't join the club."
"Really meow?!"
?Ant 2?
Mao Mao's eyes suddenly brightened: "Fisch wrongly blamed you, so Horace, you are a good person!"
For Slughorn, it doesn't matter whether Fish joins the Slug Club or not. As long as he can establish a good relationship with him and invite cats and cats to participate in the party, then Fish will naturally be regarded as a member of the club by the outside world. Members of the club, and such a Fish himself is no different from other members.
Everyone except Fisch can see his little thoughts, but no one will remind Mao Mao.
After all, looking at Mao Mao's appearance, he really likes the food here, so it's better not to say anything and let Fish enjoy the food
Besides, this is an extra opportunity to get in touch with Fish, so why not do it?
