Chapter 696： Collection

"Cough cough... In fact, the salary I just gave is not low." Dumbledore quickly added: "Even if it is the Ministry of Magic, except for those directors and directors, it is the salary of those Aurors. Taller than Horace...Aurors are the most tiring jobs in the Ministry of Magic, chasing down criminals, protecting important people, seizing dangerous objects... basically everything they do!"

Aspiring to be an Auror, Harry touched his nose.

"Aurors? Those guys who took their friends and beat them up when Fish got drunk?"

(????ˇ??ˇ????)

Fishh nodded thoughtfully, "It's like oh... I feel like they're everywhere... So, they're the errands at the Ministry of Magic?"

"That's right! That's right!" Dumbledore firmly affirmed.

Harry reached out and touched his earlobe again.

"It's so hard to work, no wonder I can get more money, meow."

The simple cat was easily persuaded by Dumbledore, but...

"Fish still doesn't want to work meow..."

(??ω??)

"Cough cough... This issue should be discussed with Minerva slowly in the future." Dumbledore would not be stupid enough to meddle in this matter, he just had to make sure that Fish would choose to enter when he wanted to work. Hogwarts would be nice to be a teacher.

So he changed the subject decisively and said, "You guys did a good job today, otherwise I would have to work hard to convince Horace."

"But we didn't do anything?" said Harry, startled.

Dumbledore smiled mysteriously and did not answer the question, but instead asked: "What do you think of Horace?"

Because the contact time is too short, and there is not much communication, so Harry needs to think about it.

And Feixu didn't think about it so much, he said bluntly: "Fixu doesn't like him very much, meow!"

(??`ω????)

"Oh? Why?" Dumbledore asked with interest instead of blaming him.

"Fixu can't tell... I just think the way he looks at Fei Xu is weird, which makes Fei Xu very uncomfortable meow..."

(????ω????)??

Cat Cat scratched his head and replied in confusion.

"And what do you think of him, Harry?" Dumbledore turned his eyes to Harry.

"Well..." Harry said after pondering for a while, "I think he's very kind, and he should be a good professor?"

He was not influenced by Fish, but answered according to his inner feelings.

Dumbledore nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that Fish is still more sensitive..."

Seeing the surprised look on Harry's face, he quickly explained: "Horace's people are not bad, they just like to enjoy material things, and they like to make friends with famous, successful and powerful people. He likes the feeling that other people are at his mercy."

He pointed to Fish and Harry, "As it happens, you two are the most famous students in the wizarding world in recent years, this is like a rare treasure to Horace, so he will be here As soon as I saw you, I immediately agreed to my invitation."

Harry recalled Slughorn's previous performance and let out a sigh of relief.

"Then why didn't he work at the Ministry of Magic?" Harry asked again: "According to you, he should have the ability and relationship to get along well at the Ministry of Magic, right?"

"Indeed," Dumbledore nodded approvingly, "but Horace never wanted to be in charge, he preferred to be in the back seat - that way the world was wider and more at ease. He had a very unusual ability to always He can pick people who will excel in all walks of life. Hogwarts is the best place for him to use this ability."

"A long time ago, Horace started a club with himself as the core, and then selected his favorite students from the school to join the club. He let them get to know each other, build useful connections, and finally get Some kind of benefit, or a free box of his favorite pineapple preserves, or a chance to recommend a clerk to the Goblin Liaison Office, or a bottle of wine that's hard to find on the market."

Immediately in Harry's mind came a big fat spider, spitting a silk here, a silk there, and spun a web around its body, attracting the big, tasty, juicy flies to him. .

And Fei Xu blinked his eyes, waved his arms excitedly and said, "Just like Fei Xu's cat club?"

??(????ω????)??

"Cat Cat Club?" Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, and then he said incredulously, "Is this the name of the small group you guys made in private?"

Although he intentionally guided Hermione to do the formation of the cat club, Dumbledore didn't pay any special attention to how it was going. He still believed in Hermione's ability, because in this little girl Deng Bridor saw the shadow of Professor McGonagall.

"Yes, meow! You already have the Order of the Phoenix, so it's not normal for Feixu to form a cat club!"

(??`??????)

The cat shook his head proudly.

"Well...a pretty name..." Dumbledore boasted against his will and then said: "But Horace's club nature and the Order of the Phoenix and your...um...cat The cat club is not the same. It is a looser organization whose main function is to allow members to communicate and help each other, and Horace’s role in it is to be a linker rather than a leader.”

Fish was still a little ignorant, but Harry understood what Dumbledore meant, and he also understood why Fish would say that Slughorn's eyes made him uncomfortable.

Harry frowned in disgust at the thought of being considered a "collectible" of some sort.

"I'm not telling you this to tell you to be disgusted with Horace...we must now call him Professor Slughorn..." Dumbledore saw Harry's expression and explained further: "Join There's nothing wrong with his club, it's a good thing, but I hope you guys stay vigilant. Born Animagus, Boy Who Lived...you'll be a gem in his collection, So he will definitely come to win you over."

Harry frowned, but still had some resistance to Slughorn and his club.

The cat's thoughts were a little different. He tilted his head and thought for a while...

"Fishu don't want to be someone else's collection meow! Although the fat old man has a bare head and no hair, he still wants to let him join the cat club and make him his collection meow!"
