alt_harrySo. I talked to Professor Slughorn again.
He was less nervous this time when I started talking about Voldemort, at least. I asked him how Voldemort learned so much about Noble Arts without a teacher here, and how he got so powerful, and he said He must've learned a lot on his own. And how there weren't as much books in the library on Noble Arts back then for Him to look to, so he did all his learning on his own.
And then we got talking about the ceremony with Ridley and the snitch. I started off talking about Him and Noble Arts some more, and then I said that He had me do this ceremony once, only I didn't know what it was and wanted to learn more about it. I told him it was hard knowing who I could talk to about that kind of stuff, but that I trusted him.
He asked about the ceremony, so I told him about it, and he turned really pale.
I even mentioned what Dolohov told me, about using important objects to protect the soul, but he just said he wouldn't be much help at sorting out what it was, because potions weren't really a part of it. And he wanted to make sure I wouldn't ask Voldemort about it, or tell him we'd talked. So I went on for a bit about how the reason I went to him was because I knew he'd keep it private, which helped.
And then he said that no-one said my father was an easy man to please. Which I don't think he would've said before.
And he said to come back any time.
So yeah. He didn't really say a whole lot that was useful, but at least he was less weird about it this time?
Professor Dumbledore, should I keep trying to talk to him about it, you think? Or maybe try Professor Dolohov again instead?
