The third Dark Lord came from Hogwarts

“Argus! You finally came!”

“If I don’t send you an invitation letter, you won’t even look at me?”

“You haven’t even sent me a letter after such a long vacation!”

In front of a delicate cottage, Slughorn was angry, but with a smile in his eyes.

He couldn’t be serious about Argus, a student who was perfect in both mind and talent.

“I’m really sorry, professor, it’s my negligence.” Argus looked apologetic.

This surprised Slughorn.

Mainly because Argus’s answer was a little unexpected.

He knew what happened to the Saints during this period, and even if he didn’t use this as an excuse, he had to explain it.

As a result, Argus didn’t have any intention of refutation.

Apologize generously!

“Professor, don’t you know what happened to the Saints recently?”

“Don’t embarrass Mr. Grindelwald!”

A middle-aged man with a brown beard walked out of the cottage and said with a smile.

“Barnabas, don’t speak for him!” Slughorn glared at the brown-bearded man.

I finally made up my mind to teach this kid a lesson, and you interrupted me. What if I can’t bear to do it again!

“That’s not an excuse.”

Argus smiled and said, “No matter how busy you are, you always have time to write a letter.”

“Look, Argus is still sensible!”

Slughorn turned his anger into joy: “Let me introduce you, this is the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet, Barnabas Guffey.”

“Hello, Mr. Grindelwald.”

“You are a hot figure in our Daily Prophet.”

Barnabas took the initiative to extend his hand to show goodwill to Argus.

Several more people came out of the house, and Slughorn introduced them one by one: “Gwenos Jones, captain of the Holyhead Harpies.”

A well-proportioned girl with a sharp expression smiled and nodded at Argus.

“Ludo Bagman, Director of the Department of Sports and Physical Education of the Ministry of Magic.”

A sturdy man stepped forward.

“Hello, Mr. Grindelwald, I wonder if you like…”

“Ludo!” Barnabas stopped Ludo Bagman from saying the next word.

He smiled apologetically at Argus.

“Sorry, Mr. Grindelwald, Ludo was a batsman for the Wimbourne Wasps and was a little… too enthusiastic about Quidditch.”

“It’s okay.”

Argus had some impression of this Ludo Bagman.

The most popular batsman of the Wimbourne Wasps, but when his career was at its peak, he was accused of passing messages for Voldemort.

Although he was finally cleared, his career was lost and he could only work in the Ministry of Magic.

Fortunately, he was still hardworking and got a position as director.

In addition to Argus, Slughorn also invited five or six people this time.

All of them are famous figures in the wizarding world.

Argus couldn’t help but be a little surprised.

Apart from other things, Slughorn’s vision of students is really first-class.

The students he favors are basically the best in various industries.

It is no wonder that these students, even if they hold important positions, come to Slughorn’s tea party.

Who would want to miss the opportunity to meet the top people in other industries?

“Okay, don’t stand at the door, come in, Argus!”

Slughorn did not hide his preference for Argus.

This attracted Barnabas’s ridicule.

“Professor, you only invite Mr. Grindelwald in, what about us?”

Although he was joking, he was a little more shocked in his heart.

As a frequent visitor to Slughorn’s tea party, it was the first time he saw Slughorn attach so much importance to someone.

You know, Slughorn’s vision is surprisingly high.

Even he has never been greeted by Slughorn.

Even though Argus is the leader of the Saints, he is only twelve or thirteen years old now, and his talent has not yet been transformed into the future.

There is only one possibility for him to be so favored by Slughorn…

That is, his talent has reached the level that Slughorn will do anything for!

With Barnabas to liven up the atmosphere, Argus is not a socially anxious person.

The whole afternoon was a great time for both the host and the guests.

Before leaving, Barnabas and Ludo invited Argus to visit their residence.

Argus smiled and agreed one by one.

Originally, he planned to leave with Barnabas and others, but was kept by Slughorn.

“Argus!”

Slughorn was silent for a long time before speaking.

“I know a little about you and the pure-blood family.”

“The Slughorn family is still influential among the twenty-eight holy families.”

“If you want, I can help you ease the tension.”

“After all…”

Horace Slughorn was born in the Slughorn familyThe family, even if they have little connection with the family, is still one of their own.

On one side is the family, and on the other side is his favorite student.

He is caught in the middle, and is indeed in a dilemma.

Willing to make peace when the pure-blood family suffers a great loss is the result of his long-term psychological struggle.

“Thank you for your kindness, professor.”

Hearing Slughorn’s words, Argus was once again amazed at his characteristic of loving talented students.

After expressing his gratitude, he explained to Slughorn: “I already have a solution for this matter.”

“Don’t worry, the pure-blood family and I haven’t completely torn our faces.”

Slughorn didn’t say anything else, just sighed.

“If one day you really encounter a problem that you can’t solve, just tell me.”

“Although I can’t guarantee that I will solve it for you, I will do my best to protect you back to Nurmengard.”

“I will, professor!” Argus said, and then he remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something.

He hurriedly took out the gift that he had asked Vita to prepare in advance.

“Professor, I almost forgot to bring you a gift.”

“I know you like to drink tea, so I specially prepared the latest batch of oolong tea for you.”

“Thoughtful, hahaha…”

Slughorn swept away the loss just now and took Argus’s gift with a smile.

…

Two days later, the Ministry of Magic.

Barty Crouch, who had been avoided by members of the Ministry of Magic, was surrounded by countless people today.

Flattering words filled his ears.

“Director Crouch is worthy of being the pillar of the Ministry of Magic. In the entire Ministry of Magic, no, in the entire UK, only you can easily reach cooperation with Germany and France.”

“Yes, yes, yes, please give us more support in the future!”

“Yes, only you can make our Ministry of Magic truly a model for international wizards.”

Most members of the Ministry of Magic are still composed of pure-blood families. After receiving orders from their respective families, they decisively began to cooperate with Barty Crouch.

Not only that, these pure-blood families also contacted their foreign connections to bring a lot of cooperation to the International Magic Exchange Department where Barty Crouch worked.

Helped the British Ministry of Magic gain a lot of reputation among the masses.

There is a tendency to become a model for the Ministry of Magic of various countries!

Barty Crouch’s originally crumbling reputation was immediately reversed. He was originally on the verge of stepping down, but after getting these reputations, he immediately became a hot commodity in the Ministry of Magic.

Many members of the Ministry of Magic who had been hiding far away came up without stopping, wanting to get familiar with him.
