HP trickle down

Slughorn sent his invitation letter to the Slug Club to Bert and Severus again, but he still wanted to politely refuse to go, but after Bert thought about it, Cyril would definitely go , It’s also good to have a look at the outstanding talents of other colleges.

However, he received news from his informant that the Dark Lord might visit again today. Burt knew that whether the Devil came here sincerely or not to apply for a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, he would definitely come here anyway.

Burt picked up a glass of alcoholic drink and took a sip slowly: Speaking of which, he hadn't met Voldemort face-to-face for almost two years.

"Drink this." Severus snatched the alcoholic drink from Bert's hand and replaced it with a glass of milk.He didn't want to see another drunk, and he didn't want to be taken advantage of by being drunk.

Burt smiled, glanced at Severus, and drank the milk honestly.The second grade was so drunk not only because it was his first time drinking, but also because Lucius tricked him into drinking with him for the first time.Alcoholic beverages, even if he used this to support himself to the sky today, he only looked slightly drunk.

Severus didn't seem to like his state, the state of half losing his mind. Although Burt would still try to restrain himself, it was estimated that instinct occupied more layers at that time.Severus would be pinned down by him, and the feeling of being forced was really uncomfortable.

Thinking of their purpose for today, Burt and Severus whispered a few words, and put on a glass of alcoholic drink as a decoration.

Severus also found a small animal who was interested in potions and could talk to him for a few words. Although Longbottom was a stupid lion, fortunately, his herbal medicine class was excellent.Not to mention Ravenclaw.

'There are really quite a few acquaintances at the banquet this time. ’ After Burt and Severus parted, look around: Derek Zabini was talking to Slughorn, Lucius was talking to Narcissa, the Lestranges The second son was sitting in the corner flirting with a little beauty, while Antonin Dolokhov was chatting with his followers; Regulus was sitting with Bazel, his face a little bit lonely.

That famous beauty in Ravenclaw was joking with her female companion. That face was indeed a powerful weapon, and many people fell under her skirt.

After Lucius left this time, the person who was most likely to become the male chairman of the student union was Burns of Hufflepuff.

Gryffindor, now the most conspicuous are James Potter, Sirius Black and Remus Lupine.James forcibly pulled Lily to babble, the expression on his face was pure joy, stupid enough; the sense of burnout on Lupine's face remained the same as before; Sirius... with dodgy eyes, drinking with a lonely face.

'It seems that Regulus really did something to Sirius, otherwise the two of them would never have reacted like this. ' Bert thought silently.He stood with Severus, Anthony also had his own affairs to be busy, he declined the invitation, and Heinrich was forcefully pulled by Anthony to help, so naturally he was not there.

Cyril was standing next to a pillar, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, and Tom Black was always standing beside him, and there were always people around the two of them going up to say hello and mocking secretly.

The Bach family has lost too much power, so now everyone thinks they can step on Cyril's head.As everyone knows, this approach is the most undesirable.

As a staunch neutral, Cyril certainly would not allow the Bach family to fall into anyone's hands as a pawn.It is precisely because of the unflattering policies on both sides that the Bach family has become a target of public criticism.

Burt has been reminding Cyril these days, and Cyril has also begun to change his strategy.It is very dangerous to try to please both parties. In fact, this approach is also very dangerous.On the surface, Cyril showed weakness to Voldemort; secretly, Cyril also hooked up with Dumbledore and helped Dumbledore behind Voldemort's back.

The Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix are currently in a stage of fierce confrontation on the surface, so the atmosphere in the school is becoming more and more tense.

Hufflepuff has the most Muggle and mixed-race species, so the current policy of Death Eaters first offends the interests of Hufflepuff.Now in the school, it is normal for Hufflepuff and Gryffindor to hug each other.

If the situation continued, Slytherin would only be under siege.Ravenclaws are mostly neutral, and in fact they favor Dumbledore's policies over the Death Eaters.Gryffindor has always admired Dumbledore the most, and of course he will support Dumbledore without hesitation.

Of course, this poses no threat to Burt. The messier the situation, the better. As long as it doesn't affect him, everything will be fine.

Alfred wants to rise, this is the best opportunity.

"Alfred, do you feel happy here?" Slughorn finished talking with Drake now, and came over with a smile on his face to chat with Bert.Burt is also his proud student. It is really great that he can meet two such talented students.

"Dean, it is my honor to communicate with so many outstanding people." Burt shook his cup and smirked naturally.

Seeing Bert, Slughorn became more and more satisfied, and said, "I am most satisfied with you this year."

What he said was ambiguous, but Bert could probably guess what Slughorn meant.Want to praise him and treat him as your favorite?

"Without the dean's careful teaching, Sev and I would not have grown so well." Bert said politely.What he thought was completely different: if Slughorn hadn't had a deal with him, he wouldn't have taken care of Severus as promised.And to all the colleges, he is almost a good old man, in fact, he just wants to continue to win people's hearts.

Of course, relatively speaking, this old walrus has selfishness and a sense of responsibility.But the care of Slytherin is really not enough.

"Severus is very good, and I have a lot of inspiration to teach him." Slughorn still didn't dare to take all the credit for himself, after all, Bert knew him well.

Burt and Slughorn had a few more polite words, and Slughorn went to find other favorite students.

Lucius frowned when he saw Burt: This guy, doesn't he know that the Dark Lord is likely to appear today?

Of course, Bert didn't know about Lucius' current mental activities, but Bert was obviously very aware of the news that the Dark Lord was likely to come here.

He just wanted to know how big the gap between himself and the Dark Lord was now.Bert, who was almost facing Dumbledore day and night, probably knew what level Dumbledore was in in magic. Although it was rumored that the Dark Lord was better than Dumbledore, Burt had never met Voldemort a few times in total.I came here for this purpose this time, how could I return empty-handed?

So Bert continued to chat leisurely with these outstanding talents from different colleges, completely unable to see what mood he was in.

Severus frowned at these scenes at the banquet, the close people usually hugged together, and in this case it was still the Slytherin people and the other house people.It is rare for people from the four colleges like him to become ordinary friends who can talk.

It's not that he didn't want to go to Lily, but seeing her sticking to James, Severus didn't know how to deal with it: can he still fight that idiot Pott justly like before?Or have a fight?That's impossible!

Severus was with Bert now, and no matter how much he didn't want Lily to be intimate with Pott, he couldn't pay attention to him all the time and beat Pott away!

Although Bert didn't say anything, and even looked very considerate, Severus also understood that Bert's possessiveness towards him was at its strongest.Pay too much attention to other people, and no matter who that person is, Bert will find a way to keep his attention completely on him.

In order to prevent myself from being separated from Lily just like that, it is best not to get in touch with Lily too much now, and letting Burt misunderstand her is the most troublesome thing.

Pulling his mind back to the current situation analysis, he found out that Slytherin was isolated, and of course Severus was also worried about Burt's thoughts.

But Burt wasn't very worried about his situation, and he thought about it.After all, Burt is a neutral faction. Even if these people hate Death Eaters, they don't have the guts to provoke Burt and isolate him now.

After all, every centrist in the present is up for grabs.If the persecution is too severe, and then go to the enemy's camp, won't it increase the strength of the enemy?

After thinking about it, he lost his mind while talking about potions with these people.

"Severus, Bert is here, shall we continue?" Frank Longbottom saw Burt approaching and squeezed Severus' shoulder.

He knew how uncomfortable it would be for Severus and Bert to have someone in the middle.

"Of course, you didn't say you had bred a new product last time. Could it be some magic apple that can't cry?" Severus didn't care about Bert's appearance.He wondered why these people always find such and such an excuse to leave when Bert is by his side.

Frank and his fiancée looked at each other and shook their heads.Severus was insensitive, and of course they could see it clearly: if Severus wasn't with Bert, he would be!

If you disturb someone's relationship, you will be kicked by the horse!

These people completely ignored Severus, and once again found all kinds of lame excuses to leave this "land of right and wrong".

"Severus, do you want to try this?" Burt talked to many people after dealing with Slughorn, and now he returned to Severus' side.I also brought a little cake with me.

"Don't you still want to meet some talented people?" Severus squinted, not looking at the cake in Burt's hands.He doesn't like those sweet foods.

Burt casually put the cake in his hand on the long table behind him, and said, "Sev, this cake is not sweet, it tastes like bitter coffee."

Severus shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry, what do I gain now?"

"No, wait a little longer." Burt smiled, and pulled Severus to lean half lazily on the strings of the table with himself.

Severus glared at Bert as if he understood something.

However, this night, the person Bert has always been looking forward to meeting finally appears...
