Of course Sherlock could see through Slughorn’s current thoughts, but he did not point it out, but introduced it according to his words.
“This is Vera Shilk, the current arithmetic divination teacher at Hogwarts. He is… my good friend.”
In the last sentence, he was obviously confused.
His current relationship with Shilk is definitely not just a friend, but if he talks about his girlfriend, Shilk has never agreed to it, nor has he mentioned it.
Since the end of the Triumph, the relationship between the two has become more and more subtle, but this subtle and change is extremely natural, as if the relationship between them has not changed from beginning to end.
When Sherlock talked about his identity between him and Hilk, he was also thinking secretly.
The two of them can’t just continue without any distinction. As a man, he cannot let Shilk take the initiative in this matter.
On the day he broke up from his grave, he had already put down all the concerns in his heart, and there was nothing to hesitate now.
Although Sherlock’s words were not famous, Slughorn was not a fool. On the contrary, he was actually a personal spirit, and it was obvious that the hidden meaning could be heard.
His eyes at Shilk changed immediately.
Just like the first time my old father met his daughter-in-law, his attitude was much more enthusiastic and cramped than before.
“Oh, Miss Shilk, I can call you Vera, right?”
In the usual Gujing Wubo, Shilk, who rarely had any other emotions, turned a little red at this time, and obviously was a little shy.
She nodded slightly.
“Yes, Mr. Slughorn.”
But the tea on the table could no longer satisfy Slughorn’s hospitality at this time. He hurriedly stood up and searched around the kitchen for a long time. Finally, he only found some Muggle candies on the plate to entertain the two young people as refreshments.
“You should have said to me in advance before you come, Sherlock, now I have no preparations, so I can only bring some of this first.”
Slughorn complained, while refusing a cup of tea for Shilk, signaling her not to be polite and treating this place as if it were at home.
Sherlock was speechless.
If he really greeted him in advance before coming, the fat walrus would have rolled his bed and ran away in advance.
The two are close, and it is true that Slughorn is so timid that he hides from the east.
The topic then naturally revolved around Hilk, and Slughorn had completely brought himself into the role of Sherlock’s parent, learn about Shilk’s family, work experience, and how Sherlock met from all aspects.
After talking about this, he touched the topic on Hogwarts again.
He didn’t even want to talk about the recent situation in the magic world, and he kept telling Sherlock Shilk about some interesting things about his teaching in the castle.
Fat Walrus is undoubtedly a very good at socializing. His storytelling ability is also full of emotion. Sherlock and the others stayed here for an afternoon without feeling bored.
