Chapter 770 The unknown person
Although Dumbledore had written invitations many times, the old man had no intention of returning to Hogwarts to become a professor.
He didn't want to give Voldemort the illusion that he was on his side, as that could easily lead to death.
Nailishi looked at her great-grandfather who was full of resistance. She raised her eyebrows slightly and asked:
"Oh, so you believe the reports to be true, Voldemort—"
The old man shuddered and shouted, "Don't mention that name!"
Niles grew up in the United States and received an Ilvermorny education. She was not so afraid of the British Dark Lord that she dared not mention his name.
However, she still changed her title and continued to ask: "So, do you really believe that the mysterious man is resurrected?"
"The mysterious man is not an ordinary wizard. I would not be surprised if anything happens to him." The old man said quietly.
"Of course, I definitely hope it's fake. This possibility also exists."
The old man's light green eyes narrowed into slits, and he whispered:
"Although I trust Dumbledore, according to reports, he did not see the mysterious man with his own eyes. Only Rolf Scamander saw it..."
"Sirius Black and a few No-Majs also saw it," Nellies corrected.
"Oh, come on." The old man sneered: "Scamander saved Black and helped him clear his grievances. This is a well-known thing.
He will say whatever Scamander tells him to say! "
"As for the Muggles...their testimony doesn't count!"
"But Grandpa, I don't think Rolf Scamander is a liar." Nelisi said very seriously.
"How do you know he won't lie? You don't know him well."
"You don't know him well, so why do you think he must be lying?" Nelisi asked.
"I don't know Scamander, but I know the mysterious man." The old man looked at his precious great-granddaughter and lowered his voice:
"I know how terrifying he is. Except for Dumbledore, no one is his opponent."
"But Scamander has done so many things." Nelisi said solemnly, "He captured several Death Eaters, saved the floating dragon boat, and also saved many people in the Quidditch World Cup final... …”
"I admit that these are all great, but they are not the same as the mysterious man." The old man shook his head and said:
"I really don't believe that a boy about your age can escape from Voldemort safely..."
"It's not about escaping..." Nelisi corrected again: "He seriously injured the mysterious man and pinned the mysterious man and a group of Death Eaters under Westminster Abbey."
"Severely injured?" The old man hurriedly picked up the newspaper and looked at the article. He found that the mysterious person was seriously injured. He let out a laugh and said with a strange smile:
"Then I am 100% sure that Scamander is lying. He has no idea what the You-Know-Who means. It seems that he is the same type of person as my other student Gilderoy Lockhart. They both like to talk too much-"
Hearing the old man saying that Rolf was lying and comparing him to "Lockhart", Shirley suddenly felt angry.
She narrowed her beautiful eyes, and when she was about to refute the old man angrily, a hand held her right hand.
Shirley looked at Rolf.
His face was gentle, he smiled and shook his head.
The movements of the two of them were captured by Nelisi. She turned around and asked, "You two also believe in Rolf Scamander, right?"
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not." Luofu said without any care:
"Sooner or later, the truth will come out. It is the most pointless to engage in this kind of verbal dispute at this time. Besides, you can never wake up someone who is pretending to sleep."
"Oh, you mean I'm pretending to sleep?" The old man reacted immediately.
"Yes, Mr. Horace Slughorn." Rove said bluntly: "You heard that right."
"You know me?" Slughorn asked.
"Of course, you are a famous potion master, I still know this." Luo Fe smiled.
From the time the old man said that he taught Snape, he already knew that the other person was Horace Slughorn, the former potions professor at Hogwarts.
"Not only do I know your identity, I also know that you used to be colleagues with Professor Dumbledore." Rove continued: "I even know that you were once Voldemort's teacher."
Slughorn was shocked, not only because he heard the name Voldemort again, but also because the other party actually knew about his relationship with Tom.
Nelisi also looked at her great-grandfather in surprise. She had never heard him mention this matter before.
"So, you just said that you understand Voldemort, and I completely agree with him. You are his teacher. If you don't understand him, then who else does?" said Rove.
"On the night Voldemort was resurrected, he said that he had gone farther than anyone else on the road to immortality. He also said that he had conquered death."
Luofu said with a smile on his face:
"You are Voldemort's teacher, and you know him very well. When he was a student, he must have discussed the topic of 'conquering death' with you, right?"
"So, you actually knew that he would come back sooner or later, right? It's just that you don't want to admit it in your heart."
Slughorn's face turned pale, and a trace of panic appeared on his weathered face. He took a step back and said in a trembling voice:
"Who...are you?"
"Me?" Luofu laughed and said:
"Nobody!"
At this time, all Mayflower passengers had disembarked, and the wizard who boarded the ship quickly walked towards the ferry.
"Goodbye, Mr. and Miss Slughorn."
Luofu bowed, took Shirley's hand, and strode towards the ferry.
Nelisi looked at Luo Fu's back thoughtfully and whispered: "Let's go too, Grandpa."
Slughorn finally came back to his senses and followed Nellie towards the ferry.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him.
Slughorn turned around and saw a group of reporters running towards him. He couldn't help but frown and said:
"Who leaked my whereabouts? Why are there so many reporters? It's really annoying."
Although Slughorn said this, he still adjusted his collar.
When he was about to be interviewed and said that he was going to Iceland to watch a Quidditch match, the group of reporters passed by him and ignored him.
One of them almost hit Slughorn!
Slughorn opened his mouth wide and looked at the group of reporters, surrounding the guy who just called himself "Nobody".
Luofu didn't expect that he would be discovered by reporters after using the transformation technique to change his appearance. When he saw a bunch of cameras coming towards him, he immediately protected Shirley by his side.
"Mr. Scamander, can you tell us about that night at Black Cemetery?"
"Secretary Fudge said, don't spread rumors." A reporter shouted: "Does this imply that you are lying?"
"Some people say that Dumbledore is trying to defraud funds. What do you think of this?"
"You got the wrong person." Luo Fu protected Shirley and walked quickly towards Mayflower.
But strong spotlights flashed from all directions, as dazzling as the sun shining on the snowy tundra, and it suddenly made his eyes burn.
Nelisi grabbed a reporter and asked, "Hey, who is that person?"
"Rolf Scamander!" the reporter replied excitedly.
"That's not him!" Nellie said.
"Scamander must have taken Polyjuice Potion." The reporter explained:
"But who doesn't recognize his box? No matter how much he disguises himself, the box won't change."
Nelisi let the reporter go, she whistled excitedly and murmured: "I'm in the same boat as Scamander."
The short-haired girl turned to look at the old man. She smiled, with two small dimples appearing on her face.
"Grandpa, you just spoke ill of someone in front of them... now you have offended someone."
