I Love my Bby Ron. heheh eh

(Harry POV)

"I'd like to know where you get your information. More knowledgeable than half the staff, you are."

"Sir, is it true that Professor Merrythought is retiring?"

"Tom, I couldn't tell you if I knew, could I? And by the way, thank you for the pineapple. You're quite right. It is my favorite. But how did you know?"

"Intuition."

"Good gracious, is it that time already? Off you go, boys, or Professor Dippet will have us all in detention. Look sharp, Tom. Don't be caught out of bed after hours. Is something on your mind, Tom?"

"Yes, sir. See, I couldn't think of anyone else to go to. The other professors... Well, they're not like you. They might misunderstand."

"Go on."

"I was in the library the other night. In the restricted section. And I picked something rather odd about this rare magic. I thought perhaps, you could illuminate me. It's called, as I understand it, Hor..."

"I beg your pardon? I don't know anything about such things and if I did, I wouldn't tell you. Now get out of here at once and don't let me ever catch you mentioning them again!"

"Confused? I'd be surprised if you weren't."

"I don't understand. What happened?" Y/N asked.

"This is perhaps the most important memory I had collected. It is also a lie. This memory has been tempered with by the same person whose memory it is. Our old friend, Professor Slughorn."

"But why would he temper with his own memory?" I asked.

"I suspect he's ashamed of it."

"Why?" Y/N said.

"Why, indeed. I asked you to get to know Professor Slughorn and you had done so. Now I want you to persuade him to divulge his true memory. Any way you can."

"We don't know him that well, sir." I told him.

"This memory is everything. Without it, we are blind. Without it, we leave the fate of our world to chance. You have no choice. You must not fail."

"I highly recommend, reacquaint yourself with the chapter on antidotes. Now, I'll tell you more about bezoars in our next class. Right, off you go. Elise, don't forget your rat tail. Aha! It isn't the Prince of Potions himself! What do I owe this pleasure?"

"Oh, sir, I wondered if I wanted to ask you something." Y/n said.

"Ask away, dear girl. Ask away."

"Well, you see the other day, we were in the library in the restricted section, and we came across something rather odd about a very rare piece of magic."

"Yes, what was this rare piece of magic?"

 "Well, I don't know, but I can't remember the name exactly."

"But it just got me wondering, are there some kinds of magic you're not allowed to teach us?" I asked.

"I'm Potions Master, Harry, I think your question better be posed to Professor Snape." He said.

"Yes, he and I don't exactly see eye-to-eye, sir. What I mean to say is... Well, he's not like you. He might misunderstand."

"Yes, it would be no light without the dark. And so it is with magic, myself I always strive to live within the light. I suggest you do the same."
