The Legend of Harry Potter Schoolmaster

Chapter 331: Jon Hart's Gift (Part 3)

When Jon mentioned the word "gift", Professor Horace Slughorn's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly invited Jon into the room, even slightly ignoring Mrs. Greenglass Some.

"I've heard some rumors..." Slughorn said as he walked, "What about you being killed by a mysterious person... it should be a rumor, right?"

"Of course, those are just some rumors released by Professor Dumbledore..." Jon explained casually, "I'm still standing in front of you, so I'll stand well..."

"That's right, are you still a student of Hogwarts... I mean, it would be a great honor for me to have a student like you..." Slughorn said excitedly.

"Not anymore." Jon shook his head.

"Oh?" Slughorn gave him a surprised look: "Have you been fired?"

"that's about right……"

"It's okay...every student expelled from Hogwarts is not an ordinary person...and Professor Dumbledore has such a high opinion of you, he must have his own reasons..." Slughorn The professor comforted in a hurry, as if he was afraid that Jon would run away after being poked in a sore spot.

Mrs. Greengrass walked quietly behind them and also entered the cabin.

...

The house is not as chaotic and messy as in the original work of the previous life... After all, Voldemort is now on the run, and the Death Eaters are all scared; Slughorn will not be like in the previous life, worried about being killed Voldemort or Death Eaters grab it.

"It's pretty easy to break into a Muggle house, once you get the hang of it... they don't use looking glasses, they use those ridiculous burglar alarms... you just cast a Freezing spell on it, and don't let the piano in when you bring it in." Just let the neighbors see it..." Slughorn was still chattering over there.

Jon wasn't interested in how to break into Muggle homes. And because of this reason, his perception of the short and fat old man in front of him is also very average... If he didn't have something to ask him for advice.

Soon, Jon and Mrs. Greengrass were sitting on the sofa in the living room.

"Want a drink?" Slughorn went to the sideboard.

"No need!" Jon shook his head, then he opened the suitcase and started rummaging through it...

Pouring himself a glass of wine, Slughorn stole sideways glances at Jon, eyes full of longing.

Soon, Jon has dug out what he wanted...a rather delicate locket made of gold, with a snake painted on it forming an "S"-shaped logo.

"I got this by accident some time ago..." Jon said with a smile, "I saw the letter S on it, and I wondered if it was the symbol of the Slughorn family...so I brought it with me. Come here, if it happens to be something abandoned by the Slughorn family, it happens to be returned to the original owner, and I will give it to the professor as a gift!"

While speaking, Jon showed the locket to Professor Slughorn and Mrs. Greengrass.

When Horace Slughorn saw the locket, he froze there, his eyes fixed on the locket, unwilling to take a step away. He reached out his hand tremblingly, and touched lightly on the locket.

Diana Greengrass also showed surprise on her face. She glanced at the locket and then at Jon, her face full of disbelief.

...

There is no doubt that the locket in Jon's hand is really one of Voldemort's destroyed Horcruxes.

Genuine goods at a fair price, no deception, not a fake!

Since this Horcrux was only split open by Dumbledore with Gryffindor's sword, and suffered only some physical damage... so with spells, it can completely restore its appearance to its original appearance.

Of course, the traces damaged by black magic and Voldemort's soul inside will definitely not recover in a short time...but those traces are all inside the locket. As long as Jon didn't open the locket and hold it firmly in his hand, Slughorn would not be able to see it.

Both Professor Slughorn and Mrs. Greengrass easily recognized that it was definitely not the mark of the Slughorn family, but the mark of Salazar Slytherin.

Therefore, even though Slughorn wanted to nod immediately and say yes: "This is what our family abandoned, you can give it to me"... His face must not be so thick.

"This is not the symbol of the Slughorn family...it is... but the symbol of Salazar Slytherin, this is a Slytherin relic!" Slughorn seemed to spend a lot of money It took a lot of effort to spit out these words.

"Oh, really?" Jon also tried to look shocked.

"Jon, where did you get it?" Mrs. Greengrass seemed to have guessed something, and she asked proactively.

"Where did you get it?" Jon explained, "I got it from a stupid boy named Tom Gaunt, who looked so stupid, I thought he stole it... So I bought it from him for ten nats!"

"Oh, the Gaunt family..." The expression on Slughorn's face looked like he might faint at any moment.

"Since it's a Slytherin relic, is it worth much?" Jon asked curiously.

"If it's genuine, it's worth at least fifty thousand Galleons..." Mrs. Greengrass said calmly.

"That's probably a fake!" Jon stuffed it into his pocket casually, with a nonchalant expression: "How could a brat with a strange name like 'Tom Gaunt' offer something worth fifty thousand dollars?" Garen's baby!"

He made a point of repeating the surname "Gaunt" again.

...

Horace Slughorn's hands were shaking...

As a stingy and experienced collector, he can tell at a glance... that locket just now is definitely not a fake, and if it really came from a kid named "Tom Gaunt", Then there is a high probability that it is genuine; because the Gaunt family is the only remaining descendant of Slytherin.

While he was greedily looking at Jon Hart's pocket——

Jon also turned to look at him, and asked with a relaxed face: "By the way, Professor Slughorn...you seem to be very interested in this locket, don't you?"

PS: For the leader, "the name here can start with twelve characters" (let's add a chapter symbolically first, the others are owed first, I feel that I already owe a lot of chapters, pay it slowly, don't rush...)
