There is no doubt that when Zuo Si disguises himself as a brilliant teenager who is wise, sensible, intelligent, modest, polite, and speaks in a way that is pleasing to the eye, it is almost impossible for anyone to dislike him.

As a housewife, Mo Li was amused to laugh in a few words, especially a few exaggerated but appropriate compliments, which made her feel very useful.

There is no way, who made the magic item worn by Zuo Si easily perceive the minds of all creatures within a radius of ten meters.

Especially without the use of Occlumency, he can say what everyone around him wants to hear at any time, as long as he wants.

Obviously, in her own home and without any defense, Molly did not use Occlumency, so she was naturally praised for her heart.

Ron on the side was stupid!

Dumbfounded, he watched his mother being coaxed by rhetoric.

You must know that when he was in school, Zuo Si Ke has always maintained a rather "cold and high" attitude, and he hardly has much contact with other classmates, and he doesn't bother to say hello many times.

But now, his performance simply subverted all of Ron's previous perceptions.

Of course, the twin brothers also felt quite incredible.

But considering that the better Zuo Si performs, the greater the chance of getting his pocket money back, so he is more happy.

Eventually, after some explanations, Molly finally understood how George and Fred had come to be with that large sum of money.

"So that money in the hands of George and Fred is really what you pay them? And not what they earned by crooked ways? ”

"That's right, ma'am. The money is the result of their labor, legitimate income from magical knowledge, technology, and craftsmanship, so don't worry. Zuo Si replied in the affirmative with a smile on his face.

"Okay. I can give you back the money. But! In order to prevent you from developing the habit of spending money indiscriminately, every expenditure must be booked, and I will check it at any time. Mo Li stared at her two most troublesome sons and said in a serious tone.

"No problem, Mom."

George hurriedly nodded vigorously, not daring to bargain at all.

Fred even swore that "we will make sure that the accounts are made beautiful, so that you can see at a glance what the money is being spent." ”

Obviously, the twins are well aware of their mother's character, and understand that the best response in such a situation is to be honest and obedient, and to agree to everything that their mother proposes.

This is one of the reasons why the twin brothers kept getting into trouble during their time at school, but never received a yelling letter like Ron.

They are smart and have long understood the psychology and temper of their parents.

A look of satisfaction appeared on Molly's face: "Very good." After dinner, I'll give you back the money bag full of gold galleons. ”

"Hooray! Mom, I love you! ”

As soon as he heard that he would get that large sum of money back immediately, George immediately jumped up and gave his mother a warm hug.

Fred followed suit and kissed his mother the cheek, then jumped and danced in the living room.

"What a ...... two naughty ghosts"

Mo Li smiled and shook her head, her eyes vaguely revealing a hint of pride and pride.

Soon, however, she picked up the huge cake and returned to the kitchen, where she continued to prepare a sumptuous dinner.

Because if you leave the cake in the living room, you are likely to be eaten by these greedy little things before the meal.

Sweets, especially in the UK, are not so appealing to teenagers.

Morrico doesn't want the kids to eat too many sweets and end up eating their carefully prepared beef patties.

As soon as she left with her front foot, George and Fred on her back foot made one left and one right to both sides of the left side, and said with a hippie smile, "Thanks, brother." We owe you a great favor. ”

"That's right, we've made a lot of interesting new inventions during the summer, would you like to try it?"

Looking at the ill-intentioned expressions of this pair of living treasures, Zuo Si immediately complained: "So the way you express your gratitude is to use me as an experiment?" No, thanks, I don't want to have some bird feathers on my face for some reason. ”

"Hahahaha! Rest assured, these feathers are not permanent and will fall off on their own after a while. George took another handful of bird feathers from his face and laughed.

Fred followed suit: "We were originally going to make a prank cookie that would turn into an oversized canary after you eat it. However, due to the problem of the formula, only some bird feathers can grow at this stage. But it's also funny, isn't it? ”

"Yes, it's fun to watch other people become like this, but it's not so fun to be yourself. Why don't you hire Ron as a tester for your new product? Zuo Si bluntly gave the twin brother a bad idea.

Ron, who was originally sitting on the sidelines eating melons and watching the play, was stunned for a moment, and at the same time, there was a trace of nervousness in his eyes.

In his heart, he was yelling "It's my business".

Because of the crazy things that the twin brothers did to him, they are almost about to become a shadow of childhood.

In particular, turning a toy into a big spider that is alive and kicking in an instant causes poor Ron to suffer from severe arachnophobia.

In addition to this, the two have done things including, but not limited to, trying to get young Ron to sign an "unbreakable oath" that is very magically binding, and making him drink some messy potions that he doesn't know will have any effect......

When you think about it, it's a miracle that Ron managed to survive in this family and not die until now.

"My dear brother, I believe you won't decline an invitation from your brother, right?" George's eyes twinkled with a frightening light.

Ron instantly stood up from his chair in fright, and shook his head desperately as he stepped back: "No! Don't even think about it! I've sworn I'll never touch anything you two handed me again, especially the food you put in my mouth. ”

"Hey, hey! Don't say it so absolutely. Have you forgotten that we have a lot of money on hand right now? If you are willing to become a tester of a new product, we can pay you some salary. ”

Fred even took out the little silver he had left on his body directly from his pocket.

Because he knew how much Ron, who could only use second-hand goods for everything, was eager to get an extra pocket money.

What's more, the two of them can get back a bag full of gold galleons right away, so there is no need to care about this little money.

But for Ron, these small silver coins were exactly what he had dreamed of.

As for the Golden Gallons......

Sorry, he hadn't seen this currency in the highest denomination a few times since he was a kid.

After lowering his head and hesitating for a long time, Ron finally couldn't help but ask: "How to calculate the salary of being a tester?" ”

"Every time you take a test, you can take five silver sico, and the more you participate, the more you get. How's that, fair isn't it? ”

As he said this, Fred deliberately made the coins in his hand clank against each other.

Soon, poor Ron agreed to become this so-called "product tester" under the foolishness of his two older brothers.

He didn't realize how dangerous the twins' inventions were.

The vast majority of first-year Hogwarts students have a hard time turning a match into a needle.

But what about the Wesley twins?

They can turn a teddy bear into a big fluffy spider at the age of five!

By the time he was seven years old, he almost succeeded in breaking the "unbreakable vow" that even many adult wizards can't do!

It can be said that in terms of talent, George and Fred are definitely the top few wizards.

It's a pity that they didn't use this talent in a serious way, otherwise they would definitely be able to enter Hogwarts and become a respected professor in the future.

Because of this, those magic products that play pranks are actually not low in technology and danger at all.

When Zuo Si was in school, he had witnessed the spectacular scene of the two of them blowing up the potion cauldron in the laboratory.

For this reason, they lay in the hospital for a full week.

Watching Wesley's children play around and talk about interesting things about the holidays, the time came to dinner.

When Arthur, who dragged his tired body after a busy day of work in the Ministry of Magic, returned from his first notice, he noticed Zuo Si visiting as a guest.

To be precise, as long as you work in the Ministry of Magic, you can hardly ignore the young man in front of you who has made a huge difference in the entire wizarding world in just one year.

Whether it is the introduction and widespread application of the technology of storing spells in scrolls, or the "staff ring" equipped with all law enforcement agencies, it can be called an epoch-making invention.

At least when it comes to dealing with the Dark Wizards who try to resist, these things are no small part.

In particular, the Minister of Magic, Fudge, even compared Zuoth to a super genius who could surpass Dumbledore in the future, and touted him unabashedly.

However, Arthur understands that Fudge and his doglegs touting this excellent Hogwarts student are actually trying to suppress Dumbledore's huge influence and create a new object of worship for the people to divert their attention.

Arthur has never been interested in this kind of boring political game, and has only been a passive observer.

But after seeing Zuo Si in person, he couldn't help but ask during the meal: "If you don't mind, can you tell me how you came up with the idea of using scrolls and ink to store spells?" ”

"It's a book, a book stored in the forbidden section of the Hogwarts Library." Zuo Si replied mysteriously.

"Oh? What is the book? Arthur suddenly became interested.

Like all Gryffindor House graduates, he didn't do much when he was in school, wandering around the castle at night without sleeping, and going to the Forbidden Forest to adventure, so he didn't feel anything wrong with a freshman running into the Forbidden Book Zone.

"A copy of the Spells and Runes from 200 B.C.E. The author Tous once mentioned that some special magic runes can be arranged and combined to produce a spell-like effect when explained in the technique of casting spells without wands. I followed this route and conducted some in-depth research, and finally found some of the rules with the help of the exhaustive method of mathematics. ”

"Spells and Runes? I'd like to get a little impression of this book. Arthur swallowed the beef patty in his mouth with a thoughtful expression.

Zuo Si responded bluntly: "This book is placed at the back of the second row of the third bookshelf on the right-hand side of the forbidden book area.

However, since it is written in ancient Latin, most students should not be able to read it.

Not only in Old Latin, but also in Old English, Old German, and Old French, it is impossible for modern students to understand exactly what they are trying to say.

I think Hogwarts should have some language courses, otherwise these precious books will be forgotten in obscure corners sooner or later. ”

"Do you know all these languages and scripts?" Arthur raised an eyebrow in disbelief.

"Of course. As long as I have a dictionary and a cross-reference, it only takes me about seven days at most to learn a completely unfamiliar language and script. Zuo Si pretended to spread his hands relaxedly.

Precisely, with the help of the Eye of Knowledge, no matter what obscure, jerky, and difficult words and symbols are, they will eventually be transformed into something that he can understand.

"What an enviable talent. It seems that those guys are right, you are indeed a rare genius, no wonder you can come up with so many creative inventions. Maybe in the near future, you can really bring some positive influence and change to the wizarding world. Arthur couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"Dad, Soth has done that. Haven't you read the recent Daily Prophet? There are already a lot of magic schools that will have a course in making scrolls next semester, and maybe a .l. exam will be added in a few years. George interjected suddenly.

"What? Starting a new course? Also join the .l. exam! ”

Ron, who was still bowing his head and cooking, raised his head reluctantly.

You know, this is not good news for him.

After all, one more class means one more academic pressure.

And for reasons that cannot be explained, he resists learning these things that he invented and created because of Zuo Si.

"Well, this is the newspaper, you can take it and read it yourself."

As he spoke, George handed a copy of the latest Prophet newspaper to his brother, who was covered in stupidity.

After the latter saw that the news was revealed by an official of the Ministry of Magic, an expression of lovelessness suddenly appeared, and even the beef patty on the plate was not fragrant.

However, as the "little transparent" of the family, Ron's dejection did not attract the attention of others.

No way, who made his presence so low.

Molly took the opportunity to ask her husband, "How is your work at the Ministry of Magic lately?" I've heard you've been conducting a big search of those pure-blood families lately? ”

Arthur replied with a wry smile, "It doesn't work very well. Apparently, someone in the Ministry of Magic had secretly tipped off them, so the raid found little evidence. Especially Lucius, the bastard, basically didn't show any of his feet. ”

"Don't be discouraged. We all know that Lucius and his allies were the Death Eaters of the mysterious man in the first place, and sooner or later they will pay for the crimes they have committed. Molly comforted softly.

"Maybe. If the wizarding world continues to be at peace, I don't think it's likely that we can send them to Azkaban. ”

After this raid, Arthur clearly saw something and had no hope at all.

In particular, the current Minister of Magic, Fudge, is completely peaceful, and does not want to make any big noises during his tenure.

He hoped that everyone could coexist peacefully under his own mediation, and that no one would make trouble, and that the British wizarding world would be thriving.

Of course, from the perspective of most wizards, Fudge's approach could not be considered wrong, at least he maintained a semblance of peace.

Most of the Wesley kids were clearly not interested in the conversation between their parents.

Fred even poked Ron on the side with the handle of his fork in private, and asked in a low voice, "Have you written to Harry recently?" ”

"Of course I did. But for some reason, he just wouldn't write me back. Ron rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Haven't heard back yet? That's not right, right! He's not Soth, and he's going to lock himself up in his room all day for experiments. If I'm not mistaken, he must have lived in Aunt Muggle's house, and couldn't use any spells at all. George spoke with strong suspicion.

Ron nodded hurriedly: "It's really worrying. Hermione and Hagrid also wrote to say that not even a single letter they had sent to Harry was unanswered, which was quite unusual. ”

"It's just two possibilities. One was that all the letters had been intercepted by someone with ulterior motives, and the other was that Harry's Muggle relatives had forbidden him to write back letters. I'm sure you should know how much his aunt and uncle-in-law were disgusted with magic. Zuo Si reminded quietly.

"Damn! You forgot if you didn't say it! Harry had previously said that he had been abused by the Dursleys since he was a child. Ron exclaimed.

"What? Mistreat? Who would dare to abuse the savior of the British wizarding community! ”

Ginny, who had always remained silent, became angry in an instant.

According to Harry, the Dursleys often locked him up and denied him food. No way! We'll have to see. ”

Ron lost his appetite and stood up from his chair.

But before he could put it into action, Mo Li immediately glared at him and scolded sharply: "Sit down for me to eat!" It's not your turn to meddle in this kind of thing. ”

Moment!

Ron, who was like an angry lion cub a second ago, immediately withered under his mother's threatening eyes, and obediently made a bite of the beef pie on the plate, and his expression was even more loveless.

After all, the creature of the mother naturally carries a strong deterrent power for children.

When dinner was over, Fred secretly made a gesture with a very subtle gesture.

But before a few people could get back to their upstairs room, they heard Arthur, who was helping to clean up the dishes, whisper, "Damn! It's an emergency! Harry Potter had just used a hover charm at his residence. According to Article 3 of the Law on the Reasonable Restraint of Underage Wizards, promulgated in 1857, and Article 13 of the International Federation of Wizards' Secrecy Act, he was likely to be given a very severe warning this time. I'm going to have to rush back to work overtime. ”

"Go ahead. I'm sure Harry is a good boy, and there must be some misunderstanding in this. Molly hurriedly put on her husband's coat.

The latter waved his wand slightly, and the whole person disappeared in an instant.

"I don't think Harry is in a good situation, don't you think?" George asked Zuo Si in a tone of uncertainty that was not very sure.

The latter shrugged his shoulders and replied: "It's obvious. But I'm afraid I can't help much in this matter. Because if I get involved, then tomorrow it will definitely make headlines, and it will also be used by some guys with ulterior motives. ”

"I don't need your help, it's more than enough for us brothers to deal with two Muggles. But Mom will be keeping an eye on her tonight, and we'll have to find another opportunity in two days. ”

With that, Fred winked at George.

The latter immediately understood, and secretly began to rummage through the drawers and cabinets.

After a while, he stole a car key.

Zuo Si did not get involved in the twins' rescue of Harry Potter, but got up and said goodbye soon after dinner.

When he returned to the shelter, he immediately received information from Rita Skeeter.

The content is also very simple, it is the information of Professor Crocker's family members and friends.

Unlike most wizards, who have intricate family backs, relatives, and friends, this professor who is obsessed with studying the magic of time has a very simple social network.

He has a wife, two sons and four grandchildren.

On weekdays, I don't like to drink, and I'm not interested in attending all kinds of parties.,It's basically a line between the mystery division and the family.。

One of the sons was engaged in the excavation of magical monuments, and was largely absent from home for many years, and there was no sign of his involvement in the study of temporal magic.

The other son, who had worked with Professor Crocker as an assistant for about two years, was apparently untalented in this area, so he soon switched to a job working with magical plants.

In other words, neither of Professor Crock's sons is capable of casting the Time Reversal Spell.

On the contrary, one of the four grandsons named Kirwin, who showed amazing talent in school, was later recruited into the Department of Mysteries.

As for the time converter, it has been guarded by a special person so far, and there has never been a record of it being lost.

"Well, it seems that there are only these two suspects who can be locked up at the moment."

Without saying a word, he summoned two succubi who had been captured not long ago through the cards of the traveling mage, and gave them orders to approach Professor Crocker and his grandson, and then use temptation and other methods to find out some secrets.

If you can, it's a good idea to get the full set of time reversal charms and the techniques for making a time turner.

After accepting the mission, the two succubi immediately transformed into attractive human female figures, turned around and disappeared into the vast night.

After about two or three hours, they locked on to their target and made an unexpected encounter.

Among them, Krinwyn, who is relatively young and at an impulsive age, is completely attracted by the charm displayed by the succubus in less than two hours, and unknowingly becomes a captive of the other party.

It is estimated that it will not be long before the succubus will be able to squeeze all the secrets out of his head.

In contrast, Professor Crocker's progress has been slower.

Although the succubus has succeeded in attracting his attention, his long-term cautious personality and loyalty to his wife and family have allowed him to temporarily resist that powerful temptation.

However, one failure did not cause any frustration in the succubus, and he planned to cast a long line to catch a big fish.

After all, they are not undetermined mortals, and as long as they are willing to take the time, even those holy warriors who symbolize order and goodness will be corrupted little by little.

When the owl sent a letter from Hogwarts and a list of books to prepare for the next semester, Zuo Si was surprised to find that his books were also on the list, and there was an optional magic scroll making in the class schedule.

Along with these two things came a handwritten letter from Headmaster Dumbledore.

Naturally, the content invited him to take a public class each week similar to the one he had done last semester, teaching Hogwarts students how to make magic scrolls.

In return, Zuo Si can not only get an extra salary, but also enjoy some benefits and privileges that only professors have.

Of course, if he refused, then the class would be replaced by Snape.

After a few minutes of consideration, he quickly wrote a reply letter agreeing to accept the offer.

No way, who made next semester's Defense Against the Dark Arts class Gilderoy Lockhart.

Zuo Si doesn't want to be entangled by this guy who hates and likes to be famous, so it is very necessary to get himself a professor.

As for books like "Breaking with a Female Ghost", "Traveling with Ghouls", "Vacation with a Dominatrix", "Walking with Trolls", "Traveling on a Boat with a Vampire", "Wandering with a Werewolf", "A Year with a Snowman", he is not even ready to buy any of them.

"North! Get ready and come with me to Diagon Alley. Zuo Sichong commanded the house-elf.

The latter immediately bent down and bowed deeply: "As you wish." ”

Then the little creature walked up to its master, raised its long, thin and thin hand and snapped its fingers lightly.

Syllable!

With a crisp sound, the two of them instantly came from the distant mountains to the main entrance of the Leaky Cauldron Bar.

Although according to the Ministry of Magic, underage wizards are not allowed to use magic without permission, Zuo Si has exploited a loophole and asked a house-elf to teleport with him.

I have to say that his appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people in the bar.

Because house-elves are magical creatures that can only be raised by ancient pure-blood aristocratic families, or by Hogwarts that have been passed down for thousands of years of magical schools.

When he walked into the bar, the boss Tom instantly recognized Zuo Si's identity and immediately greeted him in a half-joking tone: "Look who is coming!" The rising star of British magic! The creator of magic scrolls and spell storage technology, destined to surpass Dumbledore to become the genius of the greatest wizard - Soth! You know? When you walked in with Snape last year, I knew you were destined to be extraordinary. ”

"Save your clichés and save it to the Savior Harry Potter, I won't eat you." Zuo Si also responded in a half-joking tone.

Because he knew that this was just a way for the other party to show closeness and kindness, and there was no sarcasm in it.

However, Old Tom's words immediately made many of the guests in the tavern realize who this young man with a house-elf was, and they all cast curious, greedy, or surprised glances.

After all, Zuo Si's photos have been published in newspapers more than once, and even the manufacturer of the chocolate frog is preparing to make a card with his name and deeds to attract more children to buy it.

"Hahahaha! What would you like to drink? Old Tom asked with a laugh.

Zuo Si glanced at the dirty cups that might not have been seriously scrubbed for a long time, as well as the guests with big yellow teeth, and immediately shook his head and refused: "Forget it, your drink here is not suitable for me." ”

"That's a pity." Old Tom shrugged his shoulders disappreciatively.

Just as he was about to say something, an old woman who looked to be sixty or seventy years old slowly got up from her seat, walked straight up to Zuo Si, bowed in a very clumsy motion, and said in a slurred voice: "Thank you for your invention, Lord Soth. It has given me a new way to make money. ”

"Could you please sign for me?"

Another middle-aged man pulled out a copy of "Teach You to Store Spells by Hand - Volume 1" from his backpack.

"And me!"

"Please sign me too!"

……

All of a sudden, many guests gathered in the museum.

Obviously, they were all beneficiaries of the first wave of scroll-making processes.

Some of them even earn a pretty good income just by selling the magic scrolls they do best, so I'm grateful to the inventor who revealed the technology in front of me.

After all, judging from the clothes on their bodies, these people were all marginal groups in the wizarding world before, and there may be werewolves who have been discriminated against hidden in them, and they can't find any decent jobs at all.

Zuo Si did not refuse, but waved his magic wand and signed his English initials on the first page of each handed book.

When he was about to turn around and head to Diagon Alley, he suddenly saw a familiar petite figure walking in from outside with two adults.

The two adults, who were obviously Muggles who didn't understand magic, had been looking around the pub with curious eyes, which at first glance was at least a few hundred years old.

As for the girl in front of her, wearing a dark blue dress, black stockings, and small brown leather shoes, it was Hermione Granger herself.

Like Zuo Si, who is growing her body like crazy, she looks a lot taller in just one vacation, her long brown hair with waves is casually draped over her shoulders, and she even wears makeup and lip gloss on her face.

"Soth?!"

The girl's voice was full of undisguised surprise, and she immediately ran to the front to offer a warm hug, and at the same time asked at great speed, "What are you busy with this holiday?" Why didn't you reply to me until school was about to start? ”

Feeling the surging perfume smell emanating from the girl's body, Zuo Si couldn't help but explain with a smile: "I'm so busy this holiday that I don't have time to read the letters sent by those owls. ”

"For example?" Hermione looked up into Zuosi's eyes.

"Let's say I managed to make this ......"

As he spoke, Zuo Si took out the enhanced version of the Philosopher's Stone he had made from his pocket.

At first, Hermione hadn't recognized what it was.

After all, the only magic stone in existence was made by Nicol Lemay, and it took on the appearance of irregular crystals the color of a pomegranate or ruby.

The one in front of me is a muddy black.

Only in the cracks of those lines can you vaguely see the magic mercury flowing.

But soon, by feeling the powerful magic and life energy it emanated, the girl noticed that the small cut on her hand that had been cut a few days ago had healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving not even a single scar.

"Magic ...... Philosopher's Stone? You've made your second Philosopher's Stone! ”

Hermione subconsciously covered her mouth, her face full of shock and disbelief.

Although she had long known that Zuo Si would try to make her own magic stone sooner or later, she didn't expect this day to come so soon.

And the successful creation of the Philosopher's Stone also means that its alchemy level has reached the top level in the world.

"That's right. Do you see the silver liquid flowing through the middle of this philosopher's stone? They possess the ability to alter the properties of matter, and can even resurrect people who have died unnaturally when mixed with healing potions. Zuo Si whispered in the girl's ear.

I don't know if it was the stimulation of the heat when he spoke, or the strong impact of the word resurrection, but Hermione shivered uncontrollably in an instant.

It took about three or five seconds for her to finally come to her senses, and in a slightly trembling voice she exclaimed, "Oh my God! As...... If this were true, then the entire wizarding world would be crazy about it. ”

"So remember to keep it a secret for me. Because you're the second person so far to know what it's really for. Zuo Si said meaningfully.

"Thank you for telling me this, I swear I'll keep it a secret for you."

The girl's eyes revealed the emotion of being trusted, so much so that she completely forgot the idea of "asking the teacher to ask the guilt" before she wanted to reply in time.

Just as she was about to ask about the process of making the Philosopher's Stone, and what other functions it had, Mr. Granger, who had been watching her daughter kiss me with a strange boy for a long time, finally coughed hard.

"Ahem!"

Moment!

Hermione realized that the two of them seemed to have maintained this ambiguous intimate action for a long time, and a surging flush suddenly appeared on her fair face, and she hurriedly let go of her arm to force her composure, turned to her parents and introduced, "Dad, Mom, this is what I often mention to you. Soth, that's my parents. ”

"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Granger, and Madame." Zuo Si took the initiative to owe himself without panic.

"We're glad to meet you, young man, too."

Mrs. Granger was obviously very satisfied with the politeness and maturity shown by Zuo Si at this moment, and the corners of her mouth even rose significantly.

Because Zuo Si's current charm attribute is as high as eighteen points, coupled with the huge influence of divine power on mortals, as well as the temperament of a superior person that has been cultivated for a long time, his gestures will produce a strong attraction that cannot be described in words.

From a woman's point of view, this is the standard "quality stock".

What's more, Mrs. Granger also learned from her daughter that the young man in front of her was a veritable millionaire in the wizarding world, and his fortune would continue to increase over time.

In contrast, although Mr. Granger is unhappy that his daughter may be snatched away by the other party in the future, he has to admit that his daughter's vision is indeed good.

At least it's much better than the neighbor's daughter spending all day with a bunch of thugs, either smoking and drinking or getting some ugly tattoos on her body.

In this way, under the effect of Zuo Si's deliberate pandering and conversation skills, Hermione's parents opened up the conversation box in less than ten minutes.

Mrs. Granger, in particular, even told some interesting stories about her childhood despite her daughter's strong protests, and it seemed almost like a family.

Eventually, Zuo Si persuaded the two parents to stay in the Leaky Cauldron Bar, and he took Hermione into Diagon Alley to start shopping for books and all kinds of tools and materials that might be used.

Since Hermione had made a lot of money last semester, there was no need to go to Gringotts to exchange for gold.

When he walked to the door of the pet store, Zuo Si took out the small feline statue and handed it to the girl.

"What is this? Some kind of craft? Hermione asked in a tone of uncertainty that wasn't quite sure.

"No, it's a civet cat, capable of seeing things that ordinary people can't, and can also assist its owner in battle. Best of all, unlike ordinary pets, you don't have to feed them or worry about dying of old age one day. ”

Zuo Si gave a brief introduction to the purpose of this magic statue.

Although in terms of function, the giant tarantula statue in his hand is obviously a little more powerful.

But the problem is that the most important thing about giving a gift to a girl is never the functionality and practical use.

Many straight men of steel have problems in this regard, so there are often thankless situations where they spend money.

Zuo Si, who prides himself on being smart, would not make such a mistake.

What's more, after experiencing Talona's show of affection and Yin Shadora's self-replicating madness, he finally realized how precious Hermione's "normality" and "sanity" were.

"And how can I summon it?"

The girl was obviously impressed by the lifelike cuteness of the statue, and took it in her hand and examined it repeatedly.

"All it takes is a spell. Read it to me – Ashra! ”

"Ashra!"

As the spell was pronounced in its entirety, the statue instantly emitted a green glow.

The whole statue came to life in an instant, from a lifelike wooden sculpture to a cat covered in dark blue hair, which looked somewhat similar to a lynx and a bobcat, and jumped from its owner's arms to the ground.

In terms of size, it is undoubtedly much larger than the average domestic cat.

In particular, those dark eyes clearly exuded magical power.

"Oh my God! It...... It's so beautiful! ”

Hermione bent down and tried to stroke the civet's head.

The latter obviously knew that the girl in front of him was his new master, so not only did he not resist, but took the initiative to come up and make a coquettish meow.

After a brief teasing for a while, the girl stood up and sighed with emotion: "Thank you!" Is this definitely what I've ever received in my life?

The best gift. By the way, what's its name? ”

"I don't know. Maybe you can give it one yourself. Zuo Si spread his hands with an indifferent face.

He has never been very enthusiastic about naming pets, and he is also not good at it.

In fact, he himself used to be too lazy to name his dog when he was raising a dog, so he always used "feeding" as a substitute.

As a result, when the dog grew up a little, he always thought of his name as "Hey".

When walking on the street, as soon as someone shouts "Hey", it will immediately reflexively run over, making a lot of jokes about it.

"Really? Can I name it? Hermione's eyes lit up.
