Settle at Hogwarts

"Tabor, promise grandma. You won't do those dangerous things again, okay? Even if Miss Greengrass or Miss Potter really die, grandma doesn't want you to be hurt at all."

Feeling the warmth in his arms, Tabor let out a dull "hmm".

Liya quickly adjusted her mood, waved her wand to smooth out the wrinkles on her robe, and returned to her elegant and dignified appearance.

Afterwards, Liya didn't stay too much at Hogwarts. She just gave Tubble a few more words and walked towards the fireplace connected to the Floo network in the office.

After taking a few steps, Liya seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly turned around and said meaningfully: "The Greengrass family is not a good choice, especially for the girls in their family."

Tabor looked at the green flames rising in the fireplace with some confusion, and wanted to rush over and ask his grandmother about the Greengrass family in detail.However, thinking that there was Professor Slughorn next to him, he turned to look at his dean with questioning eyes.

Slughorn was a little hesitant. He originally liked the two children, Tabor and Sylvia, and even gave a clear support for the two of them to get close.But today, Liya's words suddenly reminded Slughorn of a legend.

A legend about the curse in the Greengrass family line.

"I think what Liya is talking about is the girls of the Greengrass family. There is some unknown curse in their blood. Cursed girls cannot give birth to offspring. If they are forced to give birth, they are likely to... die. ." Slughorn said in a low tone.

"I always thought it was a legend, but since Liya reminded me of it, I think it is indeed true."

Tubo looked at Slughorn's worried expression and just nodded expressionlessly, but there was no big fluctuation in his heart.

"Okay, you just said you wanted to learn to duel or deal with dangerous creatures, right?" Seeing that Tabor didn't seem to want to talk about Miss Greengrass, Slughorn wisely changed the subject.

A gleam of light suddenly bloomed in Tubo's eyes, and he looked at Professor Slughorn expectantly.

"Unfortunately, I am not good at fighting. You must know that brewing potions is very time-consuming. Compared with your outstanding talent, Tabor, my current achievements are entirely dependent on long-term repeated practice. "

Tabor shook his body unnaturally. He always felt that Slughorn looked at him as if he were looking at a perfect collection.

"However, I can still provide you with some basic suggestions."

As Slughorn spoke, he waved his wand around the room, and the various furnishings in the office moved to their usual positions as if they had grown legs.The room also began to shrink and gradually turned into a normal office.

The silver-green tapestry beside the fireplace also began to roll up, revealing a portal below.

Slughorn pushed open the slightly old wooden door: "Welcome to Dean Slytherin's exclusive practice room."

Tabor looked at everything in front of him in surprise, the stone floor and walls, and a row of huge bookcases beside the wall.

"So, it's not bad." Slughorn said with a bit of pride in his tone, "This place is left by Slytherin. Even compared to the principal's office, it's much better."

Tabor nodded, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at the tomes on the bookshelf that looked like ancient forbidden books.

"Hogwarts Castle was originally the castle of the Slytherin family, so Slytherin students and professors will naturally have some privileges." Slughorn said while waving his wand.

The originally tight stone wall suddenly cracked, and a pair of walking armor stepped out.

At first glance, this armor looked the same as the immobile armors in the corridor, and Tabor even thought they might have been the same type of armor.

"This is said to be the masterpiece of Slytherin himself. The alchemy puppet has a very strong defense. You can cast various spells on it. You can come here to practice every night during the labor service time."

Tabor immediately understood what Professor Slughorn meant. This good guy simply found himself a human shield player as a target. By practicing every day, his proficiency in magic spells would not be improved at all.

"Okay, Professor, I will definitely work hard."

Tabor excitedly pulled out his wand and was ready to cast all the spells he knew on the puppet.

Slughorn saw that Tabor was practicing seriously and returned to his office with satisfaction.

Tubber stayed here until almost curfew time, before being sent back to the common room by Professor Slughorn.

Lying on the bed, Tabor was lost in thought. He was in the practice room behind Dean Slytherin's office today, and suddenly felt that it could also be called Slytherin's secret room.As for the one that Tom Riddle opened later, maybe it was really just a pet room in Slytherin.

There is also the moving armor, which seems to be exactly the same as the one in the corridor. So are the armors in the corridor also unactivated alchemy puppets?

There were so many thoughts in his mind that Tabor didn't know when he fell asleep.

The next day, when Tabor and his roommates came to the auditorium for breakfast, they happened to meet Sylvia who had just come out of the hospital wing. She was following her brother and seemed to be in a very low mood.When he saw Tabor, he just barely twitched his lips and did not come over to say hello.

Tabor didn't know what happened to Sylvia, but when he saw Eric's slightly unkind eyes, he knew enough not to ask.

For a while after that, Tabor wanted to ask Sylvia what happened, but Sylvia didn't give Taber this chance. She seemed to have been avoiding him.

Even during class, he entered the classroom last and sat alone in the seat furthest away from Tabor.

Tabor hung out in the library every day, and went to Slughorn's office at night to practice spells. He was as busy as a spinning top. When he met Sylvia several times, he was avoided by her. Over time, Tabor also He gradually began to ignore Sylvia and just went to the auditorium to dine with his roommates every day.

Philly has not returned to Hogwarts since she went to St. Mungo's. Taber did not inquire about Philly's specific situation. He only knew that she seemed to have been taken home to recuperate. As for how long she would need to rest, That's not something Tabor could have known in school.
