Early in the morning, inside the Great Hall on the first floor of Hogwarts.

Flocks of owls skimmed overhead, and then threw all sorts of letters and packages in the form of dive bombardment in front of the students' desks.

Some of them are thrown accurately and will be caught by the recipient directly with both hands, while others are thrown more casually and end up falling in the container of bread or milk for breakfast.

Letters, in particular, can be very difficult to handle once they fall into a plate or cup with soup or liquid.

Many of the students who were busy dealing with wet letters had expressions of disgust and disgust on their faces.

As usual, due to the establishment of long-term and stable communication channels with many well-known wizards around the world, Zuo Si received a thick stack of letters as usual, as well as more than a dozen samples and gifts.

As a man who could never remember and read all the new letters in just a few minutes.

In particular, the letter from Dolores Umbridge of the Ministry of Magic made Zuo Si smile meaningful and playful.

Because what he is best at dealing with is this kind of person who is completely corrupted by power and wealth and has no bottom line.

It would be great if they could use their hands to dig out all the secrets hidden in the Ministry of Magic's Department of Mysteries, as well as the vast number of the most precious, rarest and dangerous magical knowledge and related items in this world.

As for Dolores Umbridge's desire for the position of Minister of Magic, Zuo Si didn't mind giving a promise at all, and helping to operate it a little.

Anyway, if you are a day, it will be considered a day, and it has nothing to do with him whether you will be quickly driven down when the time comes.

He has always had a flexible moral bottom line when it comes to delivering on his promises.

"You know, Soth, the smile on your face right now is treacherous, just like those evil villains in the movies." Hermione couldn't help but whisper a reminder.

"Oh? yes, it doesn't seem bad to be a villain.

At least in my opinion, the villains in many movies are much more charismatic than the main characters.

The villains of many classic movies are far more idealistic, conscious, and capable of action than the protagonists, and are eager to change a world full of injustice.

On top of that, they tend to rely on their own brilliant minds and a series of elaborate and complex plans, rather than relying entirely on luck and boring personal heroism like the protagonists. ”

Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders disapprerovingly, and casually burned Umbridge's letter to ashes with magic points.

The girl obviously heard this argument for the first time, and the whole person was stunned for a long time and couldn't come back to her senses.

But after a while, she recalled many classic movies she had watched, especially the villains played by those old actors, which were indeed full of a very bad but attractive charm, and then nodded thoughtfully.

"Okay, I'll admit you have some point, but only for the good and evil characters, not the outright bastards."

Zuo Si responded with a smile: "Of course! Take the wizarding world as an example, if you carefully read the history of modern magic, you will find that the famous dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald, who set off a wave of revolution that swept across Europe during World War II, actually won the support of a considerable number of people at that time.

It is said that anyone who listens to his speech cannot help but have a strong admiration for him, and thinks that it is a great cause worthy of giving everything and even his life for him.

So this is the kind of villain who is both good and evil and full of charm.

Compared to Gellert Grindelwald, Voldemort is clearly more than a notch behind.

He did not have the grand vision of changing the way society and the world worked, nor did he have the charisma of the former to win thousands of supporters with a single speech.

The only way to make everyone fear themselves is through shoddy violence, killing, death, and fear, and to gain their support by advocating pure-blood doctrine and giving more power to those pure-blood families.

Voldemort was unable to create a new order and prosperity, only to bring endless chaos, turmoil, and unrest, and it is not surprising that he was the opposite of most wizards, and ultimately failed.

As for our savior, Harry Potter, it was only a little bit of a push.

That's why I've always emphasized that when you think about problems, you should start from the overall situation, observe from a higher perspective, and then draw your own conclusions.

Because most wizards have a narrow perspective, confined to a small part of the wizarding world.

But the vast majority of the planet we live under our feet is occupied by people who don't know magic, and they are the true masters of the whole world. ”

"You seem to admire Gellert Grindelwald?" Hermione asked in a tone of uncertainty that wasn't quite sure.

"Not to admire, but to 100% approve of his idea of breaking the secrecy law and establishing a world ruled by wizards.

At least under the rule of the wizards, there will be no more invasions, colonization, plunder, and genocide on Earth.

It is completely forbidden for a large country to humiliate a small country with its military might, or even to directly subvert the other country's regime without concealment.

Greedy and bottomless capital will also be curbed, instead of recklessly plundering the resources and wealth of backward countries with financial instruments for the sake of profit.

While this could lead to the creation of a new ruling class, I don't think it hurts to let wizards try it compared to the current world that compares to each other.

At least there was no original sin in the wizards, and even the ministries of magic were more harmonious than Muggle governments, and there was never a single war.

In addition, the confrontation between Gellert Grindelwald and Headmaster Dumbledore is actually not the so-called "war between good and evil" as many people understand, but is closer to a battle of ideas and lines.

Neither side even had the intention of killing each other in the final duel.

It's a pity that in the end, for some personal reasons, maybe he suddenly relented, maybe he didn't have a long time, and finally chose to admit defeat. ”

When he said this, Zuo Si did not hide his regret at all.

Because that was the last chance for wizards to replace Muggles as the rulers of the world, or even to transform the Earth into a wizarding world.

If Greenwald had succeeded, God knows if there would have been a large number of complex intelligent robots like constructs or magical ships that could roam the vast universe after the fusion of magic and technology in the past few decades.

At this moment, Zuo Si was more and more able to understand why many Ancient Brigade Mages were often lonely, and would not even return to their hometown for hundreds or even thousands of years to take a look.

With the power of the spark, they have traveled to countless places and seen all kinds of civilizations, and they have seen deeper and farther than their compatriots in their homeland who are bound to a small world.

And this gap has reached a point where it is simply impossible to describe in words.

Of course, Zuo Si, who had just become a traveling mage, was far from reaching that height, but the differences in thinking had begun to slowly manifest themselves.

Fortunately, Hermione was accustomed to Zuo Si often saying some shocking opinions, and after a short period of shock, she quickly regained her composure, took her cup and drank the rest of the milk in one gulp, licked her lips and said, "I read in the book that Greenwald did not die after his defeat, but was imprisoned in the prison of Fort Neumongaard. If you're interested in him, consider finding an opportunity to meet him. ”

"I will, but not now. By the way, I remember you said that you don't like dairy products, why did you suddenly start drinking milk recently? Zuo Si glanced at the girl beside him with surprised eyes.

"Well—to supplement calcium and increase height, of course." Hermione replied in a slightly humble tone.

However, when she said this, her eyes subconsciously glanced down at her chest that was not very prominent, and the plump upper circumference of another senior female student not far away.

Zuo Si was keenly aware of these small movements, and the corners of his mouth immediately rose slightly, and he handed over the glass of milk in front of him, and said with a smile: "Then drink my cup too." After all, it's a little bigger...... I mean, being taller makes you more feminine. ”

Moment!

Hermione's face flushed, and she hurriedly raised her glass to drink all the milk in one gulp to hide her panic and nervousness.

But because he drank too quickly and was accidentally choked, he not only vomited on the table, but also coughed uncontrollably, attracting a lot of eyes from around.

Especially seeing Zuo Si's intimate action of helping the girl slap her back with her hand, it suddenly made Ron, who had not had anything smooth since the beginning of school, feel an inexplicable jealousy, and couldn't help but say to his friends around him: "Damn! Look at the two of them, they actually talk to me in public, and they don't know what shame is. ”

"Do you have the heart to bother with anything else right now?"

Harry, who had two black panda eyes on the side, asked angrily.

Since yesterday's Potions class, he couldn't sleep all night, and his mind was full of imagining the horrific scene Zuo Si had depicted.

I didn't barely fall asleep until about three o'clock in the morning, but I had a terrible nightmare that was very real and terrible.

In the dream, his mother was not only married to Snape, but also had several younger brothers and sisters, and he had to call the person he hated the most "father".

The expression on Snape's face, in particular, was exactly the same as in Potions class.

"Well, maybe you're right, there's a Charms class today, and I should be worried about whether this wand will work."

As he spoke, Ron retracted his jealousy and looked down at the wand in his hand that had been broken at the beginning of the new semester and was later glued together with duct tape, and couldn't help but sigh.

There's no doubt that this year has been a hellish start for him.

On the first day of school, he failed to pass the platform of nine and three-quarters, and had to drive his father's flying car secretly made with magic to school.

Not only was he almost killed by a roaring train along the way, but he was attacked by a beating willow after landing, and he finally saved his life.

As a result, before he could celebrate the aftermath of the catastrophe, he was caught by Snape, who hated him the most.

Although the whole process was full of weirdness, in addition to the punishment of confinement, he was not expelled from school as expected.

But early the next morning, a shouting letter from his mother made Ron completely look wide in front of the whole school, and he died socially on the spot.

If all of this was just an appetizer, what happened in Potions class had left him in complete despair.

Because he didn't know what medicine Snape had taken wrong, he changed his previous bad attitude towards Harry and focused all his fire on him.

Especially the kind of vicious cynicism, which almost made Ron faint with shame and hatred.

Predictably, Snape would be targeting him for the rest of the semester in Potions class, and it was chilling to think about.

Sometimes Ron even thinks it would be nice if he was fired.

It's a big deal to go home and be beaten up by my mother, and then you can do whatever you want, instead of being tortured every day like now.

"This thing is too dangerous, you should get a new wand." Harry suggested with some concern.

He had seen firsthand how chilling sparks erupted from the broken wand when a spell was cast, making it dangerous just to look at.

Poor Ron laughed at himself in frustration: "Write home and ask for a new wand? No kidding! My angry mother would send me a second yelling letter, saying that I deserved it all by myself. ”

"I can lend you some money to buy a new wand first."

Harry was careful to try to get his friend to accept his kindness and help without triggering his pride.

Before entering the wizarding world, he himself had barely received any pocket money, and understood that feeling of being penniless would make people feel bad and inferior.

"No, no, thank you." Ron didn't hesitate to refuse.

This is the last dignity, and at the same time, it is also the bottom line that cannot be crossed.

Just as he was about to eat something, he suddenly saw a huge black shadow appear out of thin air.

When he looked up, he saw that Snape was standing at the table, staring at him with a pair of oppressive eyes.

"Teach...... Professor, is there anything you can do? ”

Ron was visibly frightened, and even spoke with a hint of a trill.

"Given the great damage you have done to the beating willow, I have decided to punish you for your personal involvement in the work of pruning and restoring it. Now pick up your wand and come with me, you don't have to go to today's class. ”

Snape explained in a cold, unemotional tone.

Obviously, this was part of the plan to separate Ron from Harry, to minimize the amount of time they spent together.

In his opinion, the reason why Harry has become the way he is is because of the unmotivated Ron.

So if you can separate the two of them and let Harry spend as much time with Zuo Si as possible, then you can get rid of the silly look you have now and become a little smarter.

And Zuo Si still has magic mercury in his hand that can resurrect people, if he has a good relationship in the future, even if he fails to fight Voldemort and accidentally dies, he can be resurrected afterwards, so as not to make Lily feel sad and sad.

I have to say that from the position of a "stepfather", it is quite commendable to think of so much for a cheap son who has no blood relationship with him.

But the savior apparently ignored Snape's good intentions, and when he saw his friend's pitiful look, he couldn't help but whisper, "That...... Professor, I also have my share in breaking and beating people, should I also be punished together? ”

Moment!

Tears welled up in Ron's eyes.

After all, being punished alone and being punished with others are two very different situations emotionally.

The former will inevitably produce a feeling of isolation, while the latter will feel much better psychologically because of the company.

Unfortunately, Snape's purpose was to separate the two, and how could he allow the two to be mixed up again, so he barely squeezed out a smile and explained in an amiable manner: "No, Potter, you don't need to accept such punishment. Because it's the Weasleys who drive, not you, and there's a lesson in Soth today, you'd better listen to it, it's a great technology that could change the future of the entire wizarding world. ”

"But ......"

Harry saw Ron's miserable appearance and clearly felt a sense of conscience, and wanted to fight again.

"Nothing! Remember, you are Lily's son, and your mother is one of the most gifted witches I've ever met in my life, and she's accomplished enough in potions and charms to put the descendants of a proud pure-blood family to shame. So don't let her down, get it? ”

Snape's tone suddenly became stern, and there was a kind of anger that hated iron.

This attitude suddenly reminded the savior of the nightmare he had in the early morning, and he immediately couldn't help but shudder, and nodded subconsciously: "Ming...... I see! ”

"Very good! I look forward to seeing how you do this semester. ”

With that, Snape quickly disappeared with Ron at the end of the hallway.

If nothing else, the Weasleys' youngest son is likely to have a very difficult semester.

Even Hermione, who had just stopped coughing after spitting up, couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic: "Isn't Ron a little too pitiful?" I felt as if Professor Snape was deliberately targeting him. ”

"Don't worry. Suffering is sometimes not a bad thing for men, but a good medicine. It can not only help them quickly fade from immaturity and innocence, but also sharpen a person's will. Maybe when this semester is over, we'll be able to see a very different Weasley, a Ron who has stepped out of the shadows of his brothers. Zuo Si said meaningfully.

"Are you sure? How do I think Ron looks like he's about to cry? Hermione spoke with intense suspicion.

In the girl's mind, Ron has always been the kind of cowardly and stupid image that the mud can't hold up to the wall.

"Don't underestimate Ron, the potential he has is amazing.

This can be seen in the talent of the Weasley twin brothers, as well as their other brothers who are equally good.

And haven't you heard a phrase?

Strength is hidden deep within every human being.

When it awakens, even the shortest and most deformed dwarf can cast a huge shadow.

What's more, Ron is not a dwarf, and the surname Weasley is still very influential in the wizarding world.

If he can get to know himself again and figure out something, maybe he can be reborn and become a different picture. ”

Zuosi was clearly not as pessimistic about Ron's life as Hermione was.

Quite the opposite!

He felt that if the other party really separated from Harry completely, maybe he would get a chance to completely change the trajectory of his life, and he would no longer have to live in a humble posture under the huge aura of the savior.

As the clock ticked to nine o'clock in the morning, the breakfast time, which had lasted for more than an hour from half past seven, finally came to an end.

Students of all ages rushed to the largest classroom with a heavy book and plenty of tools for making magic scrolls.

When they all sat down and looked at the podium with anticipation, they found that it was not Zuo Si himself, but Gilderoy Lockhart, a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts who had only been hired this year.

I saw this man, who always dressed himself up as gorgeous as a male peacock, first showed a standard eight-toothed smile to all the students, and then raised an orchid finger and said loudly: "Good morning, my lovely students, and those fans who worship me."

You may wonder why I'm here.

Actually, I was invited by Soth to help.

Because the star and genius of the wizarding world, South, has no previous coaching experience, so I asked him to give him some guidance.

Although the technique of making magic scrolls is esoteric and difficult in the eyes of many laymen, it was a complete breeze for me.

It only took me a few days to learn everything after I got the textbook......"

As these words blurted out, the audience was in an uproar.

You must know that the magic scroll making and spell storage technology proposed by Zuo Si has long been recognized by well-known wizards and experts in the entire wizarding world as a very difficult technology with great potential for deep exploration.

Even Dumbledore, the greatest wizard of our time, has publicly stated more than once that he has only learned one thing so far, and it will take two or three years to fully master it.

Harry, who was trying to teach himself through books, grew his mouth even longer, and asked the girl sitting next to him in an unbelievable tone, "Professor Lockhart must be joking, right?" ”

"Well—though I hope so, I guess it's not a joke from his expression." Hermione cupped her forehead with a pained expression that she couldn't bear to look at.

It was only then that she realized what the senior Gryffindor students meant when they said that this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts class was a disaster.

Obviously, judging by Gilderoy Lockhart's current performances, this guy is a complete straw bag.

Just when the crowd was agitated and Gilderoy Lockhart couldn't control the scene, Zuo Si slowly walked in through the side door with a steady step as usual, and with just one look, the originally noisy students quickly became quiet.

Among them, the Slytherin House, which had the most heckling, fell in love with the silence technique in an instant, and sat down honestly with their mouths closed, their eyes revealing awe and fear.

Young Master Malfoy even opened his notebook and put on a posture of studying hard and making progress every day.

There is no doubt that Zuo Si's actions of not saying a word, just relying on his aura to suppress these students with different personalities and not very easy to manage students, suddenly made Gilderoy Lockhart feel very envious and jealous.

Because he understands that this kind of deterrence, built on great strength, is something that a liar like him can never obtain.

However, in order to hide the embarrassment of almost messing up, he still forced an explanation with a dead smile: "The students of Hogwarts are really overzealous, and they can make such a loud cheer, it seems that I am just as popular wherever I go." ”

"Of course! After all, you're Gilderoy Lockhart, a five-time Wizarding Weekly winner of the Most Charming Smile Award, a third-class Medal of Merlin, an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts League, and the best-selling author of the series. ”

Zuo Si said all the other party's most proud titles in one go.

Under his deliberate compliment, Lockhart's vanity was instantly greatly satisfied, and he even felt a little fluttering, and his whole face was full of smug expressions, and he immediately reciprocated: "This achievement and honor I have obtained is still far from being comparable to your epoch-making invention." ”

"You're too modest, professor. If you don't mind, let's start today's lesson right away. ”

Zuo Si obviously didn't intend to continue to waste too much talk with the "experiment" in front of him, and instantly ended the nonsense without nutrition.

He walked straight up to the podium, raised his wand and drew hundreds of distinct symbols in the air in one breath, and then asked bluntly, "Can any of you tell me what these symbols are?" ”

In less than a second, Hermione, who always liked to rush to answer in class, was the first to raise her hand.

"Miss Granger, you answer." Zuo Sichong made a gesture of please.

"These are the runes you invented with special magical effects by studying the ancient runic script. Their purpose is to combine them so that the spells can be kept intact inside the scroll or other items. ”

Hermione spoke unreservedly about what she knew.

Of course, the "creation of inventions by studying the ancient runic script" is completely fake, and is actually to give this rune system from the Feron Continent a reason that can be accepted by other wizards.

"Very well said, Gryffindor plus ten points.

Before this class begins, I want you to remember that magic and spell storage are not something that can be cast in the broad sense of the word, just learning spells and then wielding a wand with the magic power in your body.

Rather, it is closer to a rigorous natural science.

Whether it is the ordering and combination of runes, or the restoration of simplified spells to a state with a stable spell structure through tracing the source, it is very challenging to test one's logical thinking and memory.

If you make a mistake in the process, it can cause an accident at least and kill others around you at the worst.

In order to give you a more intuitive understanding, let's invite our professor Gilderoy Lockhart to give a demonstration. ”

As he spoke, Zuo Si's eyes flashed with a playful and ill-intentioned light.

Lockhart didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, thinking that this was a good opportunity to be in the limelight, and hurriedly asked excitedly, "What am I going to do?" ”

Zuo Si pointed to the runes floating above his head and replied, "It's very simple. All you need to do is pick out four of these runes that you think are the most harmless and safe, and then carve them into this pre-prepared sheepskin. This is followed by a simple spell on the parchment. ”

"No problem! This simple demonstration is not difficult for me. ”

Lockhart confidently chose four of the hundreds of runes he thought were the best.

With the help of the concocted dragon blood ink, he completed the rune depiction in less than five minutes, and finally raised his wand to release one of the oblivion spells he did best.

When he was done, he was eager to show his results to all the students present and brag about it.

Zuo Si did not stop all this, but after the other party was greatly satisfied, he quietly opened his mouth and added: "Open it now!" ”

"Huh? What are you talking about? Lockhart paused.

"Turn it on."

Zuo Si repeated his words again.

And as he said this, the students in the audience could clearly see that he had taken several steps back.

Lockhart also seemed to realize that something was not right, and after a moment of hesitation, he chose to open the scroll in his hand.

The moment the first rune was activated, a dazzling burst of fire and magic erupted from the scroll, directly burning all his hair, face, and clothes, even the underwear under the robe.

The only thing to be thankful for is that these flames and energy are not very large, and they all disappeared in less than two or three seconds after they appeared, leaving only a naked man who was naked and showed large black burn marks.

"Ahhh!!!!!!hh

Where have the girls present seen such a stimulating picture, and they immediately covered their eyes and collectively let out a piercing scream.

However, in the process of screaming, there are still many more daring ones peeking through their fingers.

As for the boys, they laughed unceremoniously.

Like the Weasley brothers, the "Fun People", didn't know where to take out the magic camera, and kept clicking the shutter, trying to record this classic scene.

Zuo Si glanced at Gilderoy Lockhart, whose face was full of shame, with no mercy, and then raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then began the public execution.

"I'm sure you've all seen that our dear Professor Lockhart has only picked four wrong runes, plus a seemingly harmless Oblivion Charm, to cause this.

The first rune he uses represents fire and energy, and is often used to store fire-related spells.

Adding this rune to the scroll often increases the destructiveness and power of the spell.

If a wizard's magic is very powerful, then he will need to use this rune repeatedly to make sure that the spell he casts is not fully recorded and stored when making a similar magic scroll.

So in the first lesson, I would like to warn you to keep in mind the purpose and characteristics of each rune, and in any case do not try to combine two runes with diametrically opposed characteristics.

Otherwise......

Professor Lockhart's current state is a lesson in point.

Finally, let's give Lockhart a round of applause and thank him for setting a false example for everyone at the cost of his own injuries. ”

Moment!

The students in the room immediately responded, laughing and cheering loudly while clapping vigorously.

What does it mean to kill people?

That's it!

The most infuriating thing is that Lockhart can't be angry now, but wants to put on the appearance that all this is discussed before, covering the vital parts and forcibly squeezing out a smile and nodding to the audience.

Just as he cautiously retreated and wanted to escape, Zuo Si grabbed him and asked with a demonic smile on his face, "Professor, where are you going?" We've just begun. ”

"Ask for ...... Please! Leave me alone! I'll admit that I want to use your fame to gain some popularity, but I've already been punished, haven't I? Lockhart pleaded in a low voice.

Even though he's a shameless liar, he's not a brainless fool.

If you haven't seen that the other party is deliberately correcting yourself, then you can quickly cut yourself off.

"What are you talking about? Why don't I understand? Anyway, don't worry, you promised me to at least cooperate with this class. As he spoke, Zuo Si increased the strength of his hand slightly.

With the terrifying strength attribute, Lockhart only felt that the other party's palms and fingers were like iron tongs, no matter how he broke free, he couldn't move at all, so he took the initiative to take a step back and continue to plead: "Then you should at least give me a piece of clothing, right?" ”

But Zuo Si mercilessly refused: "There's no need for that." When have you ever seen a wizard dress those cage rats during a magic experiment? ”

As these words blurted out, Lockhart immediately felt that his identity as a liar must have been seen through by the terrible young man in front of him.

Especially the deep black pupils, he couldn't feel the slightest temperature, it was like a biting cold wind blowing from the North Pole.

Eventually, Gilderoy Lockhart succumbed.

Because he feared that Zuo Si might have evidence of his deception, and if he resisted, he might lose everything he had, including fame, wealth, and respectable social status.

For more than an hour, the man with a series of titles was played around like a monkey in front of the whole school, and at the same time, he kept smiling, indicating that he was willing to do all this.

A senior student who had taken a Defence Against the Dark Arts class saw this scene and immediately complained, "Damn! I'm actually starting to feel a little sympathetic to Gilderoy Lockhart now. Because in front of Soth, he was like a poor marionette or a clown. ”

"It's certainly not voluntary! I bet! ”

Another senior student next to him couldn't help but interject.

Compared with other houses, Slytherin, which has always had the habit of worshipping the strong and powerful, has the highest praise for Zuo Si's behavior.

The female prefect, Gemma Farley, said to one of her attendants without concealment: "See? I've told you more than once before that Soth is definitely a standard Slytherin. In front of him, a straw bale like Gilderoy Lockhart was a complete joke. ”

"But he is not willing to accept our refuge and allegiance."

"No, you're wrong, it's not that he doesn't want to accept us, it's that he can't accept us. Don't forget, it was through the development of the school that the Mystic eventually founded the famous Death Eater Order. If South, who was also talented and from Slytherin House, did the same, what would Dumbledore think if you were Headmaster? ”

You don't need to ask to know that after a year of thinking, Gemma Farley has understood the meaning of what Zuo Si wanted to say before.

Moment!

Several of the senior students around them all showed expressions of sudden realization.

In the same way, they also felt a heartfelt admiration for Zuo Si's wisdom.

Because most students in the lower grades are unlikely to have such a sense of the big picture and a keen judgment that understands human nature.

"So what do you think we should do?" A graduating male whispered tentatively.

"As I told you before, continue to maintain the relationship between us and build a net, and when he needs us, it will naturally send a very clear signal."

After saying this, Gemma Farley ignored the others, and instead looked at Zuo Si on the podium with an appreciative look.

As an ambitious Slytherin, she clearly has a very clear and concrete plan for her life.

Whether it's power or a partner, you always want the best.

Thinking of this, Gemma Farley set her eyes on Hermione Granger, who had recently had a lot of "scandals" with Zuo Si.

After carefully comparing the advantages and disadvantages between her opponents, she suddenly felt that she should find a few opportunities to talk to Zuo Si.

After all, she was a very traditional English witch.

Traditionally, I don't mind being a lover like I did in the 16th and 18th centuries, or allowing my husband to find a few lovers outside......

Of course, as for the Slytherin prefect Gemma Farley's thoughts, Zuo Si has no idea at all.

Even if you know, you won't care too much.

Because under the reminder of the diary, he has become aware of his character and what he does, and it is very easy to attract those so-called "bad women".

And compared to the "big surprise" made by Isadora, as well as the show of love from Talona, the goddess of poison and disease, he felt that there was nothing in this world that could scare him.

As for Gemma Farley, it's just a little episode in campus life, and it's not worth wasting time and energy on it.

By the end of the "lively" and "unique" lesson, Lockhart immediately fled like a street rat.

As he passed by the back corridor, he suddenly noticed a black diary lying on a chair, next to the textbooks and tools that Zuo Si had used in class.

Out of a vindictive tendency, the liar suddenly became angry and vicious, and took advantage of everyone's inattention, grabbed the diary and ran back to his office.

As soon as he finished stealing something and fled with his front foot, the figure of Zuo Si on his back foot appeared next to the chair out of thin air, and teased in a playful tone: "See what I said? Dealing with a guy like Lockhart doesn't require any complicated intrigues at all. As long as he throws down the hook, he will bite himself. ”

"Well, you're right. With Voldemort's IQ, I believe it won't be long before this idiot can be toyed with in the palm of his hand. When the time comes, we will be able to observe how the Horcrux works and how it is reborn from nothing. ”

The journal was visibly disappointed that Lockhart hadn't even seen such an obvious trap.

Because it really can't think of it, this guy can't even see through this simple scam, how can he deceive so many wizards?

Since the creator and the master's mind are connected, Zuo Si immediately felt the doubts in the diary, and explained with a smile: "It's not that Lockhart is too stupid to see through such a simple trap, but I gave him a huge humiliation just now, which caused him to hate me to the bone now but helpless, desperate to find a channel to vent." Anger can make people lose their minds, lose their ability to analyze and think. So after deciding that it was mine, Lockhart subconsciously chose to steal it as revenge. ”

"So it's a chain set, and you laid everything out from the start?" The journal made a surprised sound.

Zuo Si nodded slightly: "That's right." In fact, if Lockhart doesn't steal this time, I've prepared the second, third, fourth, and fifth steps. In short, as an experimental subject, he doesn't really have much choice. Falling into a trap is just a matter of sooner or later. ”

(End of chapter)
