The God of Ice and Fire at Hogwarts

"Does it smell like blood?" Slughorn looked thoughtfully at the scarlet liquid on the wall. He waved his wand lightly, and the fake blood stains disappeared. "I really didn't think about it that comprehensively. But it’s too late, you entered the house just as I finished setting up the place.”

As he spoke, Slughorn sighed heavily.

But soon, Slughorn looked at Harry with inquiring eyes, and asked curiously: "I really want to know, you are obviously a student who grew up in Hogwarts Castle, rather than someone who has experienced a lot of experience." How could a fighting Auror discover these problems so quickly?"

Hearing this, Harry scratched his hair sheepishly.

He glanced at Dumbledore beside him. After Dumbledore showed an approving look and nodded slightly, Harry said honestly: "It's the illusion array refined by Linn. In the illusion of 'high difficulty' mode During the test, we often need to complete different tasks under various conditions.”

"In a fantasy test in the 'high difficulty' mode, I played the role of an Auror, and my task was to complete the investigation of a hundred murder cases. Among these investigations, there were many suspected murder scenes. The house was forged by dark wizards, and the forged blood was not human blood, but the blood of fire dragons or other magical animals, and the smell of that blood was different from that of human blood."

"Because I ignored this and didn't find any abnormality in the smell of blood, I died dozens of times in the illusion. Dozens of deaths made me more cautious, and I also discovered the smell of blood in the fake scene. Abnormal. It was because of my experience in the illusion that I could tell after smelling the blood here that it was not human blood. If my guess was correct, it should be fire dragon blood!"

Harry said.

Slughorn said in surprise: "Illusion test? If Auror training can also include this item, the average combat power of Aurors will definitely be improved a lot. This is really a great invention!"

Dumbledore smiled and took a step forward. He looked around at the messy house around him and asked politely: "Do you want me to help you clean it up?"

Slughorn said nonchalantly: "Please."

Dumbledore and Slughorn waved their wands almost simultaneously.

The furniture scattered on the ground jumped back to its original position one by one, the decorations returned to their original shape in mid-air, the feathers went back into the cushions, and the damaged books were automatically repaired and arranged neatly on the bookshelf.

The oil lamp flew to the small table by the wall and was lit again. A large number of broken silver picture frames flew to the end of the room and landed on a desk. The clock became as bright as new again.

Even the damaged, torn, and gaping parts of the room were restored to their original appearance.

After tidying up the room, Slughorn had a sad look on his brows.

He looked at Dumbledore, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, and said, "If I guess correctly, Dumbledore, you probably want me to return to Hogwarts Castle to teach, right?"

Seeing Slughorn being so straightforward, Dumbledore raised his eyebrows and immediately said: "That's right, Horace, I hope you can return to Hogwarts Castle and serve as our Potions Professor."

"You know, Horace, no one is willing to apply for our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, so I have to appoint our original Potions professor, Severus, as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and this, It also means that we have a vacancy for a Potions professor."

Dumbledore said so.

Slughorn said: "Dumbledore, I am very happy that you can think of me as an old guy immediately when the vacancy of potions professor comes, but you also know that the person who must not even be named. "

Before Dumbledore could answer, Harry frowned and said, "Sir, why don't you dare to mention that person's name? Voldemort, what is there to fear now?"

"Voldemort?" Slughorn was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile, "Yes, with those two new devil-level wizards here, Voldemort no longer makes people dare not even mention his name."

Compared with the Voldemort in the original book, who caused panic in the entire British wizarding world after his resurrection, the current Voldemort is like a rat in the gutter, hiding from the light.

As the magical government, the British Ministry of Magic immediately dispatched a large number of Aurors to capture the fleeing Death Eaters, putting a severe wave of pressure on the Death Eater camp.

Every one of them was caught and executed within seconds of showing up. The lessons learned from those executed Death Eaters made the remaining Death Eaters dare not appear in public at all.

After Old Barty came to power, the Dark Mark, which had brought endless fear to people, never lit up over the innocent wizard's house again.

The suppression of Voldemort and the Death Eater camp, as well as the ever-growing British Ministry of Magic under the leadership of Old Barty, made people in the British wizarding world breathe a sigh of relief and no longer worry about whether they can survive until tomorrow.

Because of this, Slughorn did not dare to openly oppose Voldemort like in the original work. He still played the emotional card wildly with Dumbledore and Harry, and persuaded him with the safety of Hogwarts Castle, and even Playing hard to get, the Thirty-six Strategies were used countless times before they were successfully persuaded by the two.

Now Slughorn was not panicked. He glanced at the two of them with his shrewd little eyes and said calmly: "Let me return to Hogwarts Castle to teach. This is not a problem. But I demand that Hogwarts must Protect my safety and provide me with appropriate shelter.”

"Even if I leave Hogwarts in the future, Hogwarts should provide me with continued shelter and protect the safety of a retired old professor. In addition, I have one more request, and that is... Need more money!”

Slughorn said.

Dumbledore naturally agreed to Slughorn's request.

Putting aside the fact that it is Hogwarts' obligation to provide security for professors in Hogwarts Castle, Slughorn's own value alone is enough to secure adequate asylum.

As for adding money, that's not a problem.

Anyway, the salary of every professor in Hogwarts Castle is provided by the school board. After Linn and Irina were promoted to Demon King-level wizards, they publicly supported Dumbledore, the Hogwarts After becoming the Headmaster, the Board of Governors' control over Hogwarts was further weakened.

Today's school boards have become ruthless ATM machines. (End of chapter)
