HP: White Lord of Slytherin

Chapter 277 Rapid Progress

After talking about Gloria, Slughorn walked over to Draco and said, "Draco's potion is just as perfect. No wonder Professor Snape can say that you are excellent."

Hermione had messy hair and eyes full of envy. She was severely exhausted by the classes today.

The professor continued, "Fortunately, I brewed another pot of Felixir, otherwise one bottle wouldn't be enough to share."

He began to check on the other students, but his excitement seemed to be dampened by those less-than-perfect potions.

It didn't burst out again until it was around Harry.

"You are so like your mother. Lily used to be so smart and outstanding!"

Hermione and Ron looked confused, but Harry was quite happy, perhaps because the professor mentioned his mother.

Professor Slughorn filled two bottles of potion from the small crucible and gave them three bottles of Felicis Felix, plus the one he had prepared earlier.

After the class ended and they had just walked a short distance out of the classroom, Draco muttered, "That's still Potter? How could he be so lucky to brew a perfect potion."

As far as he could remember, Harry's performance in Potions had always been poor.

Gloria said: "Didn't Professor Snape teach him individually for a period of time last year? Maybe he took extra lessons at that time."

Draco looked incredulous.

Gloria held his hand and said, "We all got the Felicity Potion anyway, so if we don't need it, it can be used as a gift."

There were also students behind him discussing Harry's stunning performance.

The last class ended just in time for dinner. Knowing Draco, Gloria simply did not go to the Chamber of Secrets but went to the Great Hall instead.

As soon as Zabini put the book away, he said, "Draco, let's take a good look at the Felicis Felix. It's a lucky charm that's hard to find anyone selling it in Knockturn Alley."

Draco took out his bottle and shook it proudly. The liquid in the bottle looked like molten gold.

"I read in a book that if you take a small bite, you will become a lucky person and everything you do will go well."

A boy in the same grade at the table said without disguising: "Potter's performance in Potions is obviously average, not as good as his friend Granger. Why is he so good today?"

"I don't know." Draco frowned and said, "Perhaps Professor Slughorn told him the exact steps of the potion in advance in order to make him stand out."

He remembered that Potter went to see Slughorn with Gloria.

In short, Harry's rapid improvement in Potions performance has become an unsolved mystery.

Gloria was not interested and asked, "Any interesting news during the summer vacation?"

To be honest, these students didn’t dare to write to her during the summer vacation, they just took good care of the owls.

A girl said excitedly, "Apart from the Death Eaters, Grindelwald's jailbreak is the biggest incident. So far, no clues have been found in Austria. He seems to have disappeared. I happen to have relatives abroad. They said that some families are looking for his whereabouts. The Austrian Ministry of Magic has offered a reward of 10,000 Galleons."

There are not many truly wealthy students in the club, and they were a little shocked to hear this amount.

Zabini didn't take the number to heart, "If I find it, I can live comfortably for a while with this money."

Draco didn't express any opinion. He knew best who rescued Grindelwald.

The boy sitting across from Gloria said, "Gloria, I want to buy a few more Weasley's Alarms and send them to my relatives. Is there any chance? This alarm really helps a lot."

Gloria had mentioned her investment in the Weasley twins early in the morning.

The alarms sold by the Magic House were constantly being upgraded in terms of performance, so the Ministry of Magic ordered a large number of them.

As there are many buyers, including foreign buyers, the theater has set up a special window to sell this product.

This year is too chaotic, Gloria is aware of this, "I will write a letter to reserve a batch, and you can send an owl to buy it."

The homework for each class in sixth grade has more than doubled. Although the schedule no longer seems crowded, the free time is filled with homework.

Harry's Potions grades improved by leaps and bounds, and he became an outstanding student on par with Gloria and Draco.

After a while, Gloria always felt that something was missing.

While doing her homework that day, she looked up and thought for a while, then asked, "Draco, do you feel like you haven't seen Crabbe and the others for a long time?"

Especially Crabbe and Goyle, their grades were not very good and they were unable to enter several advanced classes.

In Slytherin House, he did not appear in front of them with any fanfare, as if he were invisible.

Draco stopped writing and thought for a moment. "Indeed, maybe the lesson of last year has scared them completely. No matter how powerful the You-Know-Who is, he can't come to Hogwarts to help them now."

Gloria didn't say anything. Those people were indeed not worthy of too much attention.

It’s just that Crabbe and Goyle’s father was clearly a Death Eater, but he was probably too incompetent to be sent to the Department of Mysteries to participate in the operation last time, thus avoiding the fate of being captured and sent to Azkaban.

As for Daphne and Pansy, they should simply keep a low profile and not dare to confront them.

Even though they were alone in the small room, Draco still asked in a low voice, "How is Grindelwald doing? Father is also very curious."

On the first day of school, Grindelwald also left Slytherin Manor. No news was heard from him in these days, and he did not send any letters to Gloria.

He said he went to France, but it was always quiet over there.

"He should be in contact with the French wizard family." Gloria said, "He and I are partners. Naturally, he won't report his actions and plans to me if he's not a subordinate. I believe in his ability. This cooperation is an unbreakable oath."

She believed that Grindelwald would do his best, even for the safety of Headmaster Dumbledore.

Draco nodded. "I hope to see him in action this semester... My father wrote to me saying that Death Eaters have been attacking everywhere recently. Many people only dare to use the fireplace and Apparition, but some people are still injured and killed. This is crazy."

"Of course I'm worried because I didn't catch Ollivander and Fosco." Gloria could imagine Voldemort's gloomy face. Of course, his face was scary.

She continued, "My snake is in Diagon Alley, unless that person goes there in person. Almost every wizard in the UK has installed an alarm at home to give early warning. The school has the headmaster and the Ministry of Magic guarding it. The Death Eaters can only act more crazily, but that person will definitely not give up easily."

Draco remembered that Fosco seemed to have been discharged from St. Mungo's, "Did Fosco go abroad, or did he stay in Diagon Alley?"

"I really didn't notice that." Gloria said, "I paid St. Mungo's to waive the fees for those petrified patients. If he was afraid of being caught on the way to other countries, he would stay in Diagon Alley."

The Ministry of Magic doesn't have enough manpower available right now to escort wizards who want to go abroad.

The disturbances caused by Dementors, giants and werewolves caused the Ministry of Magic to transfer a lot of people to help in the Auror Office.

The Death Eaters don't just hunt down wizards who are not from their own faction. Various "disasters" and accidents have been frequently reported in the Muggle world in the past two months.
