Harry Potter's Bastard

Slughorn soon couldn't take it anymore and began handing out invitations to his club among the students he had his eye on.

The name "Slug Club" quickly spread among the students.

Students, especially the senior students, are very enthusiastic about this. Slughorn's reputation was still good even after he hadn't taught for so many years. The graduating students know one thing: if you can get Slughorn, a good job is within your reach.

Slughorn's letter of recommendation – that's what the upperclassmen want, not an invitation. But to be valued by Slughorn, you first have to be a member of the "Slug Club". For this reason, many students are asking around how to get Slughorn's invitation.

Life is very unfair, and what some people dream of is actually worthless to others.

Solim looked at the two exquisite invitations in his hand, ignored the envious eyes of the students around him, and reluctantly stuffed them into his arms, one invitation was his, and the other was Sylna's.

"Seriously, you're hard to find. Slughorn held his big belly and said with some complaints, "It's the first time I've seen a student who doesn't go to eat in the Great Hall, and in order to catch you, I asked Severus about the course you chose." "

Solim smiled helplessly at the enthusiastic old man, but it looked like a wry smile no matter how he looked at it. Although he was not interested in the slug club, Slughorn had come to deliver the invitation in person, so Solim had to give face as a student, right?

Slughorn approached Solim and whispered in his ear, "Harry, he's going to Albus's for a lesson—hell, what do I ask, Albus just won't say, and he doesn't want to change his time." Of course, I know he's busy, but I've sent out all the invitations and set the time, but Harry can't come - that's really bad news. So...... You must come, I can count on you. "

yes, wasn't Dumbledore's "tutoring" to Harry a good excuse?

"Ahem—" Solim stabilized his mood and said, "I'm sorry, Professor, I'm going to the Headmaster with Harry that day...... I'm really sorry. "

Although he hadn't said hello to Dumbledore yet, Solim was sure that Dumbledore wouldn't mind getting involved on the move. With the ashes there, sending a message to Dumbledore couldn't have been easier.

Merely...... Pity Sylna, she has no excuses at all.

"What?" Slughorn's voice rattled, causing Solim's eardrums to buzz.

He distanced himself from Solim and looked at him suspiciously. It was as if Solim was fooling him, and of course, it was.

"Albus didn't say you're going too. Slughorn looked at Solim warily.

"But you only asked Harry, didn't you shrug his shoulders, he wasn't afraid of Slughorn asking Dumbledore, even if Solim didn't say hello to Dumbledore, he would have covered it up for him.

"Professor, Sylna will go—guaranteed. Solim didn't hesitate to sell his sister, he believed that Sylna would understand him, anyway, the invitation was not his own, it was given by Slughorn, and Sylna had the ability to find a good excuse.

"Okay, okay. "

It can be seen that Slughorn is a little unwilling, at his party, Harry, the "savior", and Solim, a member of the Selwyn family, will obviously be heavyweights, but he will not be able to invite any of them, and in his opinion, his first Slug Club party will obviously lose a lot of color.

"I'll find one where you all have free time - next time you two don't want to dodge it easily!" said that, Slughorn walked away with a big belly.

"You're really not going to go?" Draco stepped in as Slughorn left.

"Why would I waste my time on that kind of thing?" Solim asked instead, "Do you think I'd waste my time on that kind of social situation?"

Solim has only attended two wizarding parties or balls, one at Hogwarts for the Triwizard Tournament, and the other for his own engagement not long ago. The former had some regret - Solim remembered that Reyna was disturbed by Dumbledore when she was about to drag her into the woods. And the latter - is completely chaotic and depressing.

Solim has never been a fan of such occasions, and this feeling is even stronger when he considers that Slughorn only sees himself as a capital to show off.

However, these are small things, and Solim can tolerate them, and he is willing to cooperate if necessary. But there is one thing that Solim is extremely wary of, and that is that Slughorn's evening will involve people from outside the school, which makes Solim very resistant.

Although people from outside the school will definitely go through strict checks when they enter Hogwarts, they are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, wizards are extremely rich, and a careless one can cause serious consequences, and Solim is not willing to take such a risk for the sake of such a party that is completely unnecessary.

"Are you going for the first Hogsmeade day?" Draco asked.

"What? Do you want to get out of the way?"

"No, just asking. "

When Sylna saw the two invitations in Solim's hand, she naively thought that her brother would go with her, but Solim's words suddenly made her furious.

"You're not going?" said Sylna glared at Solim.

"Yes, I'm going to Dumbledore that day. "

"You're going to leave me there alone?" said Sylna, who was extremely dissatisfied.

"You can find a companion. Solim said, "Astoria or—"

Seeing Solim looking at him, Draco waved his hand repeatedly, he didn't want to go, he had no interest in that occasion at all now.

"I don't think Slughorn is going to have just one party like this, right?"

"This ...... Probably not. Solim scratched his face, he also had a headache about whether he could find any good excuses next time.

"Then how are you going to shirk the next invitation? Talk to me in advance, and I can prepare early. Silna expressed her dissatisfaction in a strange way. _
