The person who greeted Sherlock was Hagrid.
This is the first time he met Hager since he met him in front of the Hogsmeade platform.
In addition to him, there were Professor Fleeve, Professor McGonagall and a fat old man Sherlock had never met before.
He has a round bald head, walrus-like beard and a straight belly, and a friendly smile on his face. It makes people feel like he is a person who is easy to get along with at first sight.
Their seats are in front of the window, and through the glass, you can see the rainwater sliding down from the eaves of the house. It is the most suitable location in the entire bar for drinking on rainy days.
Sherlock walked straight over, and Professor Flevy helped him pull the empty seat beside him and let him sit down.
Since Sherlock appeared in the bar, the fat old man with a walrus beard has been staring at his face with a lost gaze.
“It really looks like…”
He murmured softly, making everyone sitting here except Sherlock feel inexplicably depressed.
“Horas.” Professor McGonagall frowned and called out the fat old man’s name.
Slughorn came to his senses only then, he sniffed, and a friendly smile appeared again on his face.
“Sorry, Sherlock, I should be able to call you that. After all, we almost had a father-son relationship back then. Your eyes reminded me of your mother, but your handsomeness was inherited from your father. My name is Horace Slughorn. I was once your mother’s teacher and close friend. You can also call me my name directly without seeing it.”
Sherlock looked at the fat old man who looked kind and nodded slightly without saying too much.
The scene fell into an awkward silence for a moment, so Professor Flevy, who was funny and humorous, spoke in time and started to liven up the atmosphere.
“Listen to the recent reactions of the students, you did a very good job in Sherlock this week as a professor.”
“I just did my job well.” Sherlock said without being humble or arrogant.
Hager smiled heartily.
“It is already a good thing to be able to do your job well in the position of professor. None of your previous colleagues did not have the excellent performance as you. When Harry and the others came to me to play, they said that your class was very interesting.”
Not only was he complimenting, but he also showed envy in his tone.
Among the people sitting here, he did not have a professor position. Except for Sherlock, the other three were either former deans or current deans.
“It reminds me of the professor of the Dark Magic Defense class when I was dean of Hogwarts-That old guy, Melesi. “
Slughorn was obviously also a talkative person. He took over Hager’s topic lightly.
“He is one of the most serious and responsible professors I have ever met, but he is too idealistic and always thinks that black magic is controllable, but fortunately his defense is indeed of good quality and he has no trouble during his teaching period. “
“I know his theory and have also studied his works. He is indeed talented in teaching. Among the top ten teachers with the highest achievements in Hogwarts education students, he can rank in the top ten, but I cannot agree with his attitude towards magic. ”
