"According to modern Earth medical research, a healthy human body carries at least 140,000 types of viruses, not to mention even more bacteria.
Now, imagine such a person transmigrating t...
Of course, this "abundance" only applies to the "food desert" of the British Isles.
Because apart from various simple and rough meats such as barbecued meats, steaks, sausages, etc., the taste of other side dishes such as boiled potatoes, French fries, pea sprouts, etc. is really hard to describe.
In particular, there are very few types of green leafy vegetables, seemingly only three or four.
Although it is far from unpalatable, it is definitely not delicious either.
Moreover, some dishes have almost no taste and have to be eaten with ketchup, pudding, meat sauce, carrot juice, and pumpkin juice.
For someone with a sensitive palate, this was a disaster.
There is nothing added to the original pumpkin juice and carrot juice, and anyone who drinks it will know the difference.
What is even more incomprehensible is that there are mints and other candies and desserts on the dinner table.
Without a doubt!
Zuo Si's evaluation of the famous Hogwarts opening dinner can be described in just four words: very disappointing.
I didn't even touch any food or drink. I planned to prepare a hero banquet for dinner when I returned to the dormitory after the event.
Ever since he acquired this six-ring magic, his requirements for food have obviously become more and more picky.
However, this behavior of not eating anything turned into tension and fear in the eyes of others.
Especially the "venomous" Master Malfoy, who deliberately chewed his steak hard and sneered, "Are you not eating because you are afraid of vomiting in a while?"
In response to this boring provocation, Zuo Si simply smiled contemptuously and shook his head: "No, I just simply think it's too disgusting to swallow.
and……
I now begin to doubt whether you have ever tasted real food, so that you can enjoy eating something that tastes so bad.
If the pure-blood families in the wizarding world are so pitiful that they have never tasted any decent food, please allow me to express my sympathy to you.
Because it's just so sad.
After all, food represents more than just a sensory enjoyment, it also represents the cultural heritage of a region, country, and even nation.
If we count the civilizations and empires that have left great and glorious chapters in history, we will find that without exception, they all have their own eating habits and special cuisines.
Unfortunately, I don't see even the slightest trace of such a thing in you.
It seems that the so-called pure-blood wizard families in Europe are just a group of nouveau riche that emerged around 1000 AD.
Just like the nobles in the Muggle world were transformed from those stupid and ignorant barbarians.
The founder of your family may have been just a farmer, servant or slave, and later he was noticed by a wizard and became his disciple.
After several generations of development and growth, they actually began to ridiculously imitate the noble lords of the Muggle world and started to use the theory of bloodline to prove their superiority? Or do they want to use this old-fashioned tone to establish their own solid dominance in the wizarding world? Don't be naive!
Wake up! The era of bloodline theory and pure-blood families is long over.
Look at the wizarding world today, how many pure-blood wizards are left?
How many half-bloods and Muggle-borns are there? Remember, dear Draco Malfoy.
The essence of the wizarding world has never been about politics or relationships.
Whether a wizard is revered or not does not depend on his birth, lineage, wealth or other nonsense, but solely on the strength of his magical power.
For example, who do you think would dare to act rashly, even if Voldemort, Gellert Grindelwald, or our headmaster Albus Dumbledore were alone?
It doesn't matter if you don't understand yet, I will prove it with practical actions later.
so……
Eat more now while you can, otherwise you may not have a good appetite for the next few days or even half a month. "
After that, Zuo Si pretended to be kind and added another piece of steak to Master Malfoy's plate. His smiling eyes made all the Slytherin students around him feel uneasy.
They had never seen a first-year student so calm and even unscrupulously ridiculed when surrounded by malicious people.
Anyone who dares to do this is either relying on something or is a complete lunatic.
Some precocious senior students had alert and thoughtful expressions, obviously understanding the meaning of some of the words.
Dumbledore undoubtedly sensed the strange atmosphere at the Slytherin College table, and whispered to Snape beside him, "After the opening ceremony, you'd better return to Slytherin's common break immediately. I have a feeling that the first-year student from a Muggle family may be in big trouble."
"I know this even if you don't tell me. Students from pure-blood families have never been very friendly to Muggle-born students. But what puzzles me is why the Sorting Hat thought he was suitable for Slytherin House." Snape frowned subconsciously.
Since he himself graduated from the "Snake College", he knew very well the discrimination, bullying and even abuse that Muggle-born students would suffer here.
Almost no young wizard of Muggle origin can graduate safely and smoothly.
Basically, they either died in various "accidents" or were tortured to the point of mental breakdown, and eventually gave up staying in Hogwarts to learn magical knowledge.
"What is your impression of the child named Soth? If I remember correctly, you were responsible for contacting his family and explaining the situation." Dumbledore asked casually.
Snape answered without hesitation: "The overall impression he gave me was that he was smart and quiet, and he knew how to restrain himself. He didn't show impulsive or stupid personalities like his peers. Oh, by the way, when he bought books and teaching materials, he bought all the Standard Spells from first grade to sixth grade at once."
"Everything?!" Dumbledore raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"That's right! That's all!" Snape nodded slightly.
The voices of the two were heard by Professor McGonagall who was sitting nearby. She immediately added: "Just now at the gate, this young man named South knocked down Draco Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle with a sleeping spell.
He is extremely talented in casting spells, even as talented as those senior students or adult wizards, which makes it seem like he does not come from a Muggle family.
At least I have never seen a few freshmen who can learn and use spells so skillfully right after entering school."
"What? He attacked three students with a sleeping spell at the door? Why?" Snape frowned even more tightly.
"Because Malfoy called him a mudblood. You know, the descendants of some pure-blood families have very bad attitudes towards Muggles and Muggle-born wizards." Professor McGonagall sighed slightly.
"Well, at least we don't have to worry about him being unable to fight back when he's cursed. It looks like the Slytherin common break tonight is going to be pretty lively."
There was a strange light in Snape's eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.
As a master of Occlumency, no one could read thoughts and memories from his mind, not even Voldemort and Dumbledore.
Although Professor McGonagall wanted to say something, she didn't say it in the end.
After all, this is an internal matter of Slytherin House, and outsiders have no right to interfere.
After the dinner, Headmaster Dumbledore announced the matters needing attention in public for the new semester, and took the lead in directing everyone to sing a messy school song.
Then, the freshmen, led by their class leaders, went to their respective colleges' common lounges and dormitories.
Since Slytherin's common break was at the bottom of the lake under the castle, they were separated from the other three houses early on.
When they arrived near the entrance, the head female class leader, Gemma Farley, suddenly stopped and stared at Zuo Si with a slightly amused look. After several seconds, she asked with a half-smile, "Are you ready?"
"Of course! I can't wait to teach these losers a lesson."
Zuo Si raised the corners of his mouth and revealed an expectant smile.
"Very good. I like your confidence and craziness. I hope I won't see you being carried out later."
After saying this, Gemma Farley spoke the password directly to the door of the Slytherin common break.
moment!
A secret door hidden in a wet stone wall suddenly opened automatically, revealing a dark space inside that looked like an aquarium.
Especially the large transparent crystals around and above the head, reflecting the magnificent scenery of the lake bottom around Hogwarts Castle.
Occasionally you can see a giant octopus or some other strange underwater creatures.
You don't need to ask to know that these are all magical creatures, or you can call them magical beasts.
The walls and floors are made of black marble, presenting a Gothic art style, and a huge green lamp is hung on a chain above the head.
If I had to describe the Slytherin common room in one word, it would be weird.
All the Slytherin students stayed where they were, no one stepped over the threshold and went in, as if they were waiting for something.
Upon seeing this, Zuo Si immediately turned around and said to those students who were emitting malicious intent, "I'll go in and wait for you first. Remember to move quickly and don't make me wait too long. As for those who don't want to be my enemy, please wait here for a while. Don't worry, it won't take too much time."
"It really won't take too much time! Because you will soon be carried out covered in blood!" a senior student threatened viciously.
"Haha, I admit that someone will be carried out, but that person will definitely not be me."
After saying that, Zuo Si no longer paid attention to these "naughty kids" and walked into the public lounge alone, drew out his magic wand and stood in the middle.
After a while, more than thirty Slytherin senior students, as well as Master Malfoy and his two followers, rushed in.
Prefect Gemma Farley stared at the guy standing at the door without moving, and asked directly: "Anyone else wants to join?"
After a brief silence, several more people walked in.
Needless to say, these guys are 100% supporters of the pure-blood faction, and many of them even have family elders who are Death Eaters.
It's just that after Voldemort's fall, he escaped the punishment he deserved by quickly defecting like Lucius.
After all the pure-bloods had gone in, Gemma Farley immediately chose to close the entrance door.
The moment the stone wall fell, it was equivalent to the signal to take action.
However, what was unbelievable to everyone was that the first person to take action was not the more numerous Slytherin senior students, but Zuo Si who seemed to be alone and weak.
"Ten thousand bullets fired at once!"
Before the former could react, countless golden birds appeared out of thin air and rushed over like a storm.
As we all know, when people are attacked head-on, they will subconsciously dodge.
Especially when the face and eyes are threatened, people will subconsciously cover them with their arms.
When a flock of birds flew by, the Slytherin students were surprised to find that Zuo Si, who had been standing in the common room a few seconds ago, had completely disappeared.
"Damn it! Where is that Mudblood hiding?"
"Could it be that he ran to the dormitory upstairs?"
"Quick! Go and catch him! We must teach him a lesson today no matter what!"
Suddenly, the group of Slytherin students became excited and rushed towards the stairs leading to the dormitory.
Just as they all squeezed into the narrow passage, they suddenly heard a familiar voice behind them.
"Fainted!"
"Fainted!"
"Fainted!"
The next second...
Dazzling rays of light shot out from the air in the corner and directly hit the last few unlucky guys.
These guys didn't even know what was happening and they fell to the ground, completely losing consciousness.
The place where they fell just happened to block the exit of the stairs and passage, making it impossible for those squeezed in the middle to go up or down.
"It's really stupid..."
Zuo Si commented as he lifted his invisibility.
Without asking, one would know that he had just deliberately used a volley of thousands of bullets to block the opponent's sight, and then secretly used the Disillusionment Spell, which is the invisibility magic in this world, to hide himself.
As for the effect, it is basically not much different from the second ring's invisibility.
It has to be said that compared to the insidious and cunning spellcasters trained in the cruel environment of the world of Faerun, these Hogwarts students are really silly and cute, and have no combat awareness and experience at all.
Otherwise, people would never crowd into narrow places like stairs and passages.
Since Hogwarts cannot use Apparition, the result is self-evident.
If Zuo Si had not had the intention to kill, the number of people in Slytherin house would have been reduced by almost half if he had thrown a fireball just now.
Many pure-blood families might become extinct because of this.
But considering that the British wizarding world has maintained peace for ten years, and even some spells with incredible lethality are labeled "dark magic" and prohibited from being publicly learned and taught, it is not surprising that Hogwarts students perform poorly.
After all, the survival pressures faced by the two worlds are completely different.
If these Hogwarts students were thrown into Faerun or the floating city tower, it would be a very high ratio if only one out of every hundred people could survive.
In order to let these "hothouse flowers" feel what a real magic user is like, Zuo Si raised his wand without hesitation and pointed it at the blocked staircase.
"The flames are blazing!"
Boom!!!! A ball of burning flames directly set fire to the clothes of all the Slytherin students crowded in the corridor.
The pain caused by the burning made them panic instantly, and they quickly tore off all their clothes like crazy.
After a while, the style of painting became very eye-catching.
However, Zuo Si obviously did not intend to let the other party go so easily, and once again released a smoke spell at the violently burning clothes on the ground.
In the blink of an eye, thick black smoke came out from inside.
Several senior guys who were cast with the Armor Charm tried to rush out by brute force. Without exception, they were first stripped of their protection by the Stop Charm, then hit by the Obstacle Charm and unable to move, and finally choked to death by the thick smoke.
After a few minutes, violent coughing, crying, desperate shouting and begging for mercy filled the Slytherin common room.
It was obvious that when faced with threats that could result in severe pain or even death, the descendants of these pure-blood families were not as strong as they imagined.
Unfortunately, Zuo Si had no intention of letting them out. Instead, he let them cry until their voices became hoarse, then he put away his wand and turned around to open the door to the common room.
However, the first person he saw was not the perfect Gemma Farley, but Severus Snape.
The Slytherin head of house first glanced at the tragic scene in the common room near the dormitory stairs, then narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did you do all this?"
"No, professor. I was just defending myself." Zuo Si replied calmly.
"Self-defense?"
A scrutinizing look came over Snape's face.
"I've never seen anyone defend themselves against dozens of classmates, most of whom were older than themselves, in the hallway.
And judging from their condition, you should have used Stunning Spell, Fire Spell, Smoke Spell and Obstruction Spell.
As a freshman from a Muggle family, I am surprised at your level of spellcasting.
At least in all my years of teaching, I have never met a genius like you."
"This is all thanks to the standard spell book you took me to Diagon Alley to buy. All these spells, I learned from the book."
Zuo Si pretended to be humble and bowed slightly.
"Self-taught? Without the guidance of any adult wizard?" A hint of doubt flashed in Snape's eyes.
Because this is really abnormal.
He dared to guarantee that even wizards of the level of Voldemort and Dumbledore could not master more magic and be more proficient in it than the boy in front of him when they first entered school.
Hearing this, Snape's expression finally changed.
He himself was a genius and potion master, and he knew very well what such an exaggerated "photographic memory" meant.
To confirm this, the Slytherin head conducted a test on the spot, randomly selecting a page from standard spells one to six and asking Zuo Si to recite it.
After trying more than twenty times, he found that Zuo Si could really recite it backwards letter by letter, and he was shocked beyond words.
He didn't even bother to pay attention to the idiots lying on the ground. He directly waved his wand to cast cleansing and resuscitation spells to wake them up. At the same time, he humiliated everyone in a very harsh and harsh tone, classified them as "Slytherin's shame", and issued a gag order forbidding anyone to mention this matter to other houses.
After dealing with all this, Snape hurried to the principal's office.
Dumbledore, who was looking through the documents, immediately stopped what he was doing, looked up and asked, "Is the child okay?"
"It's okay. To be exact, he had dealt with all the troubles by himself when I arrived. About forty Slytherin students were knocked to the ground, including some in the fifth, sixth and even seventh years." Snape reported expressionlessly.
"Oh? How did he do that?" Dumbledore widened his eyes in curiosity.
If an excellent student is in grade four or above, it is understandable that he can do this.
After all, there is a huge gap in strength between wizards.
When he and Voldemort were in their fourth year, they were both able to defeat senior students who were older than themselves, and even most adult wizards, even if they were outnumbered.
But the problem is that Zuo Si came from a Muggle family and had never been taught by anyone.
Snape pondered for a moment and organized his words, then explained: "I think... this year's Hogwarts may not only welcome the famous Harry Potter, but also a terrifying magical genius.
This young man named Soth mastered many spells simply through self-study.
He could also recite standard spells one to six by heart.
Please note! The phrase "reciting by heart" here is not an exaggeration, but just an ordinary and appropriate description. "
"What?!"
Even though Dumbledore had experienced so much, he was still shocked by the news.
You have to know that the thickness and size of each standard spell book are very amazing. Even he doesn't dare to say that he can memorize them all, let alone recite them "backwards".
If someone could really do this, then his intelligence and magical talent would most likely surpass himself, Gellert Grindelwald, and Voldemort.
"It's scary, isn't it? If you don't believe me, you can give him a spell that is not in the standard spells to test it yourself. I have a feeling that he can imitate it almost exactly with just one look. Compared to the stupid Potter, I think Soth is more like the savior who can defeat the mysterious man."
After saying this, Snape turned around and left the headmaster's office without looking back.
It was easy to tell from his unhappy attitude that he was quite dissatisfied with Dumbledore's plan to train Harry Potter to fight Voldemort.
But Dumbledore did not seem to want to explain. He just sat in the chair with his hands crossed on his chest. His eyes revealed vicissitudes and wisdom, as if he was thinking about something.
…
At the same time, in the Slytherin common room on the other side.
Zuo Si, who had just beaten up almost half of the students in Slytherin House, was sitting leisurely at the table drinking tea with the prefect Gemma Farley.
Sitting around the two of them were a number of mixed-race students.
They were often suppressed, excluded and bullied by the pure-bloods on a daily basis, so when they saw a freshman defeat those arrogant guys on the first day of school, they immediately came up and wanted to form a new small group around this "ruthless" classmate to counter the pure-bloods' dominance in Slytherin.
After all, almost all students who can enter this college have a high IQ and know how rare such an opportunity is.
As for those little wizards who had lost their parents and were embarrassed, they had all run to the dormitories upstairs and acted like ostriches with their heads buried in the sand.
They were even too embarrassed to ask the school doctor to treat their burns, and could only apply some burn healing ointment left by Snape to each other.
"You really don't look like a student from a Muggle family." Gemma Farley sighed slightly.
Although she did not see the specific process of the battle, she could easily judge that this was definitely a one-sided crushing game from the shocking scene when the door was opened and Zuo Si's unharmed and relaxed appearance.
Moreover, judging from the simple test conducted in public by the headmaster Snape, the oriental boy in front of him possessed terrifying intelligence and magical talent that was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Zuo Si smiled and shrugged his shoulders: "Doesn't this just prove the absurdity of the pure-blood theory to some extent? The higher my achievements and the better my performance, the more embarrassed those pure-blood families who support the bloodline theory will be.
And these idiots seem to have overlooked one thing...
That is our headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, the greatest wizard of our time, who is actually an opponent of the theory of bloodline.
Therefore, their persistence and clamor are nothing more than the barking of the helpless losers of this era."
"Now I finally understand why you were sent to Slytherin by the Sorting Hat.
Whether it's his talent for magic that astonishes even the professors, his monstrous memory, or his ruthless attitude towards his enemies, they all perfectly fit the temperament of this academy.
Without a doubt!
You're a natural Slytherin, even if it's not what those guys think."
Gemma Farley gave her own evaluation solemnly.
"Thank you for your compliment. But you specifically asked me to stay and talk. Isn't that just what you wanted to say?" Zuo Si raised his head and looked into the other person's eyes.
Gemma Farley replied meaningfully: "Of course not. Through what happened today, I think we may be able to join forces and do something in Slytherin House. After all, Slytherin is not all pure-blooded. There are also many half-blood wizards."
As she said this, she looked around with a meaningful look.
All the students who were seen immediately stood up straight, as if responding to the ambitious female headmaster.
But Zuo Si sneered and refused, "Sorry, I'm not interested in this kind of childish game, and I won't waste my precious time and energy on such boring things.
I don’t know if you have ever heard the saying that the strong prefer to be alone, while the weak prefer to live in groups.
Only the weak would spend all day thinking about how to consolidate the little wealth and power in their hands by forming cliques.
For the strong, these things are as easy to get as weeds on the roadside and have no appeal at all. "
As the last word came out of his mouth, Zuo Si completely ignored the shocked and stunned reactions of everyone including Gemma Farley, and stood up and walked towards the boys' dormitory.
Imitating what Voldemort did as a student under Dumbledore's nose? What a joke! He didn't want to be watched all day long, and maybe even have to attend ideological education classes every now and then.
Seeing Zuo Si disappear at the end of the stairs to the boys' dormitory, a fourth-year girl cautiously probed, "Gemma, he doesn't seem to be interested in our proposal. What should we do now? If those pure-blood guys find out, they will definitely cause trouble."
"Don't worry. It doesn't matter whether Soth agrees or not. What's important is that we let him know that he is ours now."
Gemma Farley stroked her chin and calmly came up with a solution.
It was not difficult to see from the confusion that flashed in her eyes that she completely didn't understand why Zuo Si would refuse such a good proposal.
You must know that most students of Slytherin College will inevitably have a strong desire for power and strength, even first-year freshmen are no exception.
Just look at how Draco Malfoy tried to befriend the "savior" Harry Potter before the Sorting Ceremony to see how precocious the "little snakes" are in this regard.
It’s a pity that although Zuo Si looks like an eleven-year-old boy, he is actually an adult at heart, a planeswalker who has the ability to travel between different worlds.
Not to mention a school like Hogwarts, where the total number of students does not exceed 300, he even looks down upon the so-called British wizarding world.
The reason why I chose to come to this world is, on the one hand, because of its relatively safe environment, which allows me to safely and boldly conduct some research and experiments that are not very convenient in Faerun.
On the other hand, this world not only has magic, but also a complete technological system, which makes it very suitable for operating as a rear base.
Of course, before that, some means are needed to establish a reputation so that the entire magic world will realize that a "genius" has appeared.
Only in this way can we proceed to the second step of the entire plan smoothly.
Walking down the dim stairs, Zuo Si soon found his dormitory.
As expected, there was not even a roommate in the room, only two suitcases placed next to the bed.
Needless to say, the freshmen were terrified and didn't dare to approach this madman who knocked down almost half of the senior students in the academy on the first day of enrollment.
But it is not ruled out that the Slytherin students who were beaten deliberately used this method to isolate him.
Zuo Si didn't care about this situation. Instead, he was happy to have some peace and quiet. He quickly waved his wand to open the box and sorted the things inside into different corners of the room.
Unlike the combat-oriented magic system of Faerun, most of the spells in this world have been improved over the past few hundred years and have gradually become very close to life.
And because of the "magic wand", an amplifier specifically designed to enhance the wizard's perception and control, casting spells is much simpler, faster, and more convenient than in Faerun.
In the blink of an eye, the dormitory, which was originally a little dirty and dusty, was cleaned up.
After finishing all this, Zuo Si used the Six-Ring Divine Art to summon the [Heroes' Banquet], then sat down and began to enjoy the food.
After filling his stomach, he lay on the bed and read a book for a while. He estimated that the curfew was about to start, so he immediately created an illusion through the Mage Card to stay behind to hide from others.
He cast invisibility magic and quietly came to the common room. When another person opened the door, he sneaked out and ran straight to the library.
Although at the beginning, the intricate passages and large number of moving stairs caused considerable trouble.
But before long, Zuo Si used his super memory to outline a three-dimensional map of the entire Hogwarts Castle in his mind.
When it was around midnight, we finally arrived at the library entrance next to the corridor on the first floor.
Through simple magical detection, he confirmed that there were no protective measures, including the door, so he walked in boldly and left the door ajar.
Because he had been blessed with [Dark Vision] in advance, Zuo Si did not need to carry an oil lamp in his hand like other students who went out at night, or use a magic wand to release fluorescent flashes for lighting. He was completely hidden in the darkness.
Unless you get very close, it is basically impossible to be discovered.
Soon, Zuo Si began to walk along the bookshelf, touching the covers of the books one by one with his fingers, and storing all the non-magical books in the [Mind Library].
When he finds a book that cannot be instantly read and memorized by the [Scholar's Touch], he will open it and read the contents carefully.
Before I knew it, several hours had passed.
When it began to get light outside, Zuo Si realized that he had been in the library for nearly six hours.
If he didn't leave now, he would probably be caught by Madam Irma Pince.
"Well, it looks like I'll have to come back tonight."
Zuo Si sighed slightly, closed the book in his hand and put it back on the second bookshelf in the restricted area, cast invisibility magic on himself again, and walked quickly towards the Slytherin common room.
It must be said that although the start-of-term dinner at Hogwarts was extremely disappointing to him, the library was the complete opposite.
These include theoretical explanations of all things, various unknown spells and magic, as well as advanced potion formulas and production processes, and books specifically introducing magical animals...
Whether it is available in the market or not, you can find it all here.
There is a book that emits scorching heat that can burn people's hands, and even records in detail the techniques of how to use and control the fierce fire.
In short, a lot of knowledge that will never be taught in the classroom is basically kept intact in the banned books area.
No wonder you need a note from the professor to borrow books here.
If curious students who lack self-control are allowed to borrow books at will, the entire Hogwarts will become extremely dangerous.
However, for Zuo Si, who had conducted in-depth research on necromancy magic, the so-called "banned book" merely recorded slightly dangerous knowledge, nothing more.
Compared to necromancy magic that often cuts living people into pieces, turns corpses into various undead creatures, constructs and flesh golems, and transforms souls into vengeful spirits and imprisons them as automatically operating magic parts, most black magic cannot even be called evil.
Even the method of making Horcruxes, which Dumbledore considered to be extremely evil and cruel, was nothing compared to this.
Apart from the fact that the cost of tearing apart one's own soul was a bit high, Zuo Si really couldn't see where the evil and cruelty lay.
As for the premise of killing, it is nothing in front of the real necromancy magic.
Instead of killing ordinary people and innocent people, can't we kill those scum who have committed crimes that are heinous to both humans and God?
In short, taking advantage of the early morning when everyone was still asleep, Zuo Si returned safely to his single dormitory.
After taking care of his personal hygiene and eating some of the leftover Heroes' Banquet from last night, he took the books he would need for classes during the day and appeared in the first-floor lobby where the opening ceremony was held yesterday.
As the largest place in the entire Hogwarts Castle, it is not only a restaurant but also a study room.
The little wizards who don't have many classes usually gather here to do their homework or discuss topics of interest in groups of three or five.
Since it is almost eight o'clock, there is only one hour left before the first class starts at 8:30.
You can see many people sitting at the table with sleepy eyes, stuffing food into their mouths bit by bit, while checking the class schedule for the new semester to avoid accidentally going to the wrong class.
The freshmen, who had just spent their first night at Hogwarts, were obviously overly excited and were gathered together chattering about something.
It seems that everything is so normal and vibrant.
But the moment Zuo Si appeared at the door, the entire hall seemed to have pressed the mute button. Everyone stopped talking at the same time, looked up in amazement at this "legend" who walked out of the Slytherin College common room unharmed.
Not only that!
They also suddenly discovered that many senior students in Slytherin House seemed to have large red areas on their faces, necks, hands, etc., and their skin color looked very abnormal.
For some reason, all his hair and eyebrows disappeared, leaving his head completely bald.
What was even more abnormal was that when Zuo Si walked in, all these people lowered their heads and pretended to eat, not daring to look him in the face.
Master Malfoy, in particular, was shaking slightly all over his body uncontrollably, as if he had met his natural enemy.
"Oh my God! You...you're still alive?!"
Ron, who happened to have just walked in from the other side of the passage, couldn't help but exclaimed.
Not only him, but Harry beside him also opened his mouth in disbelief.
Because they had just heard the twin brothers Fred and George tell a lot of horror legends about Slytherin House last night, and they thought that the boy who was sitting in the same compartment with them might be in great danger.
"What do you mean I'm still alive?"
Zuo Si rolled his eyes in annoyance, thinking at the same time that this poor kid really couldn't speak.
No wonder some people jokingly call the three protagonists "Hermione and her two silly sons."
This EQ is so low that it's unbearable to watch.
Compared to the youngest son of the Weasley family, the "Savior" obviously had a much higher emotional intelligence. He quickly explained, "Ron means that you were not targeted in the Slytherin common room last night, right?"
"Targeted? Well... there seemed to be a small conflict last night, but it has been resolved. After all, this is a school, and as classmates we should love each other and live in harmony."
Having said this, Zuo Si suddenly paused, then turned around and walked to Master Malfoy, put his arms around his shoulders in a pretended affectionate manner, with a dangerous smile on his face.
"Dear Draco. Do you have any complaints about me? If you do, please tell me. It's okay. I'm a very kind person and I won't retaliate against you for this."
"No! No...No! Absolutely not!"
Master Malfoy jumped up from his seat and shook his head desperately like a frightened rabbit.
The fear revealed in his eyes was as if he saw a living devil appearing in front of him.
He would never forget the suffocating feeling of oppression that emanated from the other party's body when he cast the fire spell.
Seeing Master Malfoy being so sensible, Zuo Si immediately showed a satisfied expression, patted him on the shoulder and said to Ron and Harry, "See! Dear Draco Malfoy is still very reasonable. In fact, not only him, but all the seniors of Slytherin College are very enthusiastic and speak well. I like the atmosphere here very much."
While saying this, Zuo Si slapped the bald heads of the Slytherin students who had participated in the siege of him yesterday one by one.
Everyone who was photographed had an angry look on their face, and some even bent their eating forks.
