Nov. 2nd, 2013 08:28 pmMr Dumbledore asked me to talk to Professor Slughorn, to find out more about what Lord Voldemort was like while he was school.
So we could have a bit more information about what He might've turned into a Horcrux.
Anyways. I went to his office today, and said that I was wanting to know more about what My Father was like while he was at school, and he asked me right off why I'd want to know. And he seemed really cautious.
I said that I wanted to be a dutiful son, and was thinking about my own future and what I'd want to do with my life, and I also talked a little about how sometimes My Father can be very hard to understand, and how He's so powerful sometimes that it's overwhelming, and it might help me if I thought about when He was at Hogwarts, like I am now. And Professor Slughorn said pretty quickly that he was pretty sure my thinking about Him as a child wouldn't be something He'd want, and I said oh, of course, but I was just wondering what sorts of things he was interested in.
Professor Slughorn didn't ever call Him by the name he used at school -- Tom Riddle, I mean. I didn't either, of course. And he said that although He was one of his favourite students, he didn't know much about what interests he had outside of classes. But He was obsessive about mastering himself as a wizard. That's how he put it. And I asked him about whether He was interested in all of the Founders at all, because He is now, and Professor Slughorn seemed a bit surprised by that and said that he knew He was a very proud Slytherin, but didn't think He studied the other three at all while He was at school. And I asked about specific coursework and projects, but all he'd say is that He excelled in his classes, and was a truly talented wizard in all sorts of areas. So I might have to ask him about that later, maybe.
He did say something about an award for special services to the school, and then he paused like he wasn't sure if he should've said anything about it. And when I asked what it was for, he said it was for stopping a murderer, but he didn't want to say anything else about it after that. Hermione and me went to the trophy case after to see if we could find the award, but it didn't look like there was any.
That's all we talked about for now.
