In this Hogwarts without a savior

Chapter 521 519. I dare not imagine
"Horace, long time no see."

In the fireplace, Dumbledore greeted Slughorn gently.

Seeing Dumbledore's face, Slughorn showed a somewhat resentful expression, and he sat down on the sofa.

"To be honest, I thought that even if you came to find me, you would come in person. I didn't expect to let a child who is not old enough to go to a magic school come here, and still hold your wand?"

Slughorn seemed dissatisfied with Jon's age and his obscurity, which was his old ailment.

"At least let Harry Potter come, then I might be a little interested."

Jon didn't take it seriously. Of course he was very familiar with Slughorn's temper, and Dumbledore said softly.

"I just showed up to tell you that no matter what Jon says next, it's true. When you see him for the first time, of course you won't believe him, but I should still have some trust from you."

Slughorn pouted, and poured a cup of black tea for himself and Jon as well.

"It's really only a few nuts, and you're still a little self-aware."

Dumbledore didn't say anything more. He came forward to give Jon a guarantee and proof. After hearing what Slughorn said, he just smiled slightly, and then disappeared into the fireplace.

Now, only Jon and Slughorn were left in the room.

Compared with the other world, the fat walrus doesn't look much different, at most it has a rosier complexion and a rounder belly than the other self.

He looked at Jon and said nothing, obviously wanting Jon to speak first.

Jon didn't have any extra politeness, he just took out the pendant with the ring hanging from his neck, followed his movements with his eyes, and of course Slughorn also saw the ring with five blue rhombus gemstones on it!
This moment shocked his heart more than Jon holding the old wand in his hand!

Because of Dumbledore's unpredictable temper, he might temporarily hand over the Elder Wand to someone, but the ring and the gemstone on the ring, the only person in the world who knows that this thing exists, is probably only Slughorn!
After the shock, bloodshot eyes appeared in Slughorn's eyes. He didn't know why he looked extremely angry, and then he pressed Jon's shoulders and asked.

"You dug up Adrian's grave!"

Jon just took a moment to guess which direction Slughorn was thinking of, and he explained patiently.

"Can you sit down and listen to me first? Teacher, if I really do that, is it possible for me to find you and sit in front of you?"

"Who is your teacher! I have retired from Hogwarts a long time ago. Even if I hadn't retired, you wouldn't be my student at your age."

Slughorn was obviously just angry at what his old friend had brought to the grave just now, and his sanity was not lost.

After hearing what Jon said, he slowly let go of his hand and sat back on the sofa again, but his eyes were still staring at the ring on Jon's neck unkindly.

Jon didn't stop, and told about his origin, how he got the ring, and his relationship with him in another world.

Slughorn had been listening without interrupting, but it could be seen that his expression was always changing as if he was listening to some Arabian Nights story. If it hadn't been for Dumbledore's endorsement in advance, he might have kicked Jon out by now.

Jon knew that he would not accept it so easily, so he actually borrowed something from Dumbledore before coming.

Putting the Pensieve on the table, Jon said with a smile.

"You once told me that you also have a Pensieve, but you forgot where you hid it, and that memory is backed up in the Pensieve, so you can only pretend that you lost it and can't find it later."

When Jon talked about this matter, Slughorn actually believed him [-]% of the time, because he had hardly mentioned it to anyone else, and he had no chance to tell anyone about it after hiding in this place for so many years.

Jon used his wand to pull out a few memories in his mind, then put them into the Pensieve, and finally extended a please gesture to Slughorn.

Slughorn's face was very complicated. After all, even if he basically believed what Jon said, the parallel world was too bizarre after all.

Although this is magical enough, and it does exist theoretically from the time converter, there has never been such a precedent in the magic world before.

Jon's memory was pulled out in front of his own face, and Slughorn himself is a master of memory control, no matter what Jon did, he was confident that he could find the problem.

The two sank into the Pensieve together.

From the first time Jon saw Slughorn at the freshman dinner, to the ring on the carriage stuck to him, Slughorn began to consider whether to give him the complete usage of the ring, and then the two established a master-student relationship, and told Jon how he was tricked by Dumbledore into the carriage, and finally he cooperated with Dumbledore's plan to steal the Philosopher's Stone from the carriage and confront Jon on the carriage.
Slughorn silently finished watching the clip of himself in another world. Now he has not experienced such a state of exile, and he can't even believe that he has made such a decision.

Whether it is to agree to Dumbledore to enter the carriage as a professor or eventually go to the Ministry of Magic as an undercover agent, if the current Slughorn is given a choice, he will hesitate and be afraid.

But it is obvious that these memories cannot be fabricated. It is not that no one in this world can create false memories in front of him, but that no one understands himself better than Slughorn about some of his small living habits and behavioral logic.

He had already completely believed what Jon said, and after coming out of the pensieve, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed. After being in a daze for a long time, he turned his head to look at Jon again with an extremely complicated expression.

"I have no reason not to believe what you said. Forgive me for being rude before, we can get to know each other again now."

Jon shrugged and held out a hand of his own.

"Jon Green, you keep saying that I'm the most proud student you've ever had."

Slughorn took his hand.

"That me, he is qualified to comment like that. I can't describe it, but he has become like me. I don't even dare to think about me in my imagination."
