Chapter 680 Draco’s Trial Cannot Be Delayed!

Elsa smiled and said, "You are right, sir."

Slughorn seemed to have thought of something, and he asked again: "Elsa, can I call you that? If I remember correctly, you also participated in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, right? Do you have a good fighting talent?"

Elsa shook her head honestly and said softly: "No, my fighting talent is not good. The reason why they invited me to participate in this operation may be because of my talent and attainments in healing magic."

Not far away, Irving smiled and echoed: "Yes, if you ask me, except for Pomfret from our school hospital, I have never seen a little witch with such ability in healing magic. "

Irving's words aroused Slughorn's curiosity. He leaned forward and asked, "Tell me more?"

Astoria chuckled and said, "Among all our companions, Elsa is the only little witch who can cast healing magic on us without interference in battle."

Normally, when wizards cast healing magic to heal patients, they need to do it in a quiet environment without being disturbed. This is why Madam Pomfrey repeatedly forbade little wizards to make noise in the school hospital.

That is not only to prevent the little wizards from affecting the recovery of patients, but also to prevent them from affecting Madam Pomfrey's healing magic.

But Elsa can cast healing magic in a complex environment, even in battle, without being affected, which is precious.

In layman's terms, Elsa is the only wizard among the members of the D.A. Army who can output and heal at the same time!

Slughorn looked at Elsa with more admiration. He invited the little witch to attend the small banquet in the carriage because of her relationship with her aunt Gwenger Jones.

But he didn't expect that the little witch would bring him such a big surprise.

Slughorn said admiringly: "Maybe your ability to knock down Death Eaters is not as good as your companions, but you are the most irreplaceable member of the team!"

Slughorn's straightforward praise made the little witch lower her head shyly.

This small banquet in the carriage was neither short nor long. After the broadcast of the Hogwarts Express sounded, notifying that the train was about to arrive, Slughorn asked everyone to return to their carriage to change into wizard robes.

So, the D.A. army filed out and left the carriage.

"If you ask me, this Professor Slughorn is really a weirdo."

Ron walked out, still mumbling.

McLaggen shrugged and said, "Isn't it? He is a bit snobbish. You saw that he ignored Marcos after Marcos said that his father and Damocles didn't get along well."

Irving smiled and pressed his hands down, signaling them not to talk anymore.

Irving said softly, "Regardless of Professor Slughorn's personality or character, as long as he has enough knowledge of potions and is willing to teach us wholeheartedly, that's enough, isn't it?"

Hermione agreed and said, "Yes, Harry said that Professor Slughorn was invited by Dumbledore himself. There is no problem with his position. Even if everyone has different opinions on Professor Slughorn, for now, we need to treat him as a professor and respect him."

Ron and McLaggen shrugged without comment.

After the group returned to their respective carriages and changed into wizard robes, the Hogwarts Express arrived at the station.

Everyone got off the car and took the Thestrals to Hogwarts Castle.

After all the young wizards sat down in the hall, the Sorting Ceremony was carried out as usual, and Dumbledore also announced the transfer of professors, that is, Professor Snape became the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Professor Slughorn was the new professor of Potions.

After the sumptuous opening dinner, the prefects of each college stood up and led the first-year students of their own colleges to the direction of the common room.

After learning that Lynn and Irina had no intention of serving as prefects, Dumbledore selected male and female prefects from each college, but surprisingly, except for the prefect of Slytherin, all the prefects of the other three colleges were members of the D.A. Army.

However, Irving, the male prefect of Slytherin in the seventh year, is also a member of the D.A. Army.

Today, the D.A. Army has basically taken over the student management of Hogwarts!

The fifth-year Slytherin prefect was ill, so Irving, the seventh-year Slytherin prefect, took on the responsibility of guiding the first-year students to the Slytherin common room. He greeted the freshmen gently and led the way.

The seniors of other grades returned to their dormitories.

After a whole day on the Hogwarts Express, most of these young wizards were exhausted physically and mentally. Their heads were muddy, and the only thought they had was to quickly return to the warm big bed in the dormitory and have a good sleep.

But among these little wizards, there is an exception, that is Draco Malfoy.

After the dinner, Draco did not go in the direction of the Slytherin common room, but went to the tower where the Ravenclaw common room was located.

Lynn only gave Draco one month. If he wanted to protect his family and get the protection of Lynn and Irina, then Draco must find and destroy Voldemort's Horcrux within this month and complete the trial given to him by Lynn.

Therefore, it is urgent to investigate the whereabouts of Ravenclaw's crown!

Draco walked with a heavy heart, and before he knew it, he had come to the outside of the Ravenclaw common room, and the door knocker was not far in front of him.

Draco looked at the door knocker thoughtfully and stopped. It was not because he was not confident that he could answer the door knocker's question, but because, without sufficient reasons, it was difficult for him, a Slytherin, to enter the Ravenclaw common room safely and not be driven away by the little eagles in the Ravenclaw common room.

After all, his father was a former Death Eater, which made it impossible for him to get rid of the stigma of being the son of a Death Eater before he passed Lynn's test and cleansed himself up through Lynn.

In fact, if the explosion at Malfoy Manor was reported truthfully, then the Malfoy family's record of severely damaging Voldemort and the Death Eater camp would be enough for the Malfoy family to draw a clear line with Voldemort.

But the occurrence of this explosion seriously shook the International Statute of Secrecy.

If Lynn had not ordered the truth of the matter to be suppressed, his father, Lucius Malfoy, would probably be responsible for the explosion that threatened the Statute of Secrecy and pay a heavier price. (End of this chapter)
