Chapter 4: Horace Slughorn
Dumbledore and Harry travel not to the Burrow but by apparating to the village Budleigh Babberton where they find, hiding and disguised as a sofa, Horace Slughorn. Slughorn used to be head of Slytherin House at Hogwarts many years ago but has been reclusive in recent years. Harry helps Dumbledore convince Slughorn to come back to Hogwarts as a teacher. Slughorn is known for having favorite students, mainly those who come from powerful families and who might be able to help him out in the future.
Dumbledore and Harry apparate to outside the Burrow, where Dumbledore tells Harry that it is good he hasn't revealed the contents of the prophecy to anybody but that he should share more of his secrets with his close friends—after all, they might be able to help him. Dumbledore also suggest that Harry carry his invisibility cloak with him at all times, including in Hogwarts.
