Flocks of owls flew overhead, dive-bombing and dropping all kinds of letters and packages on the students' desks.
Some of them are thrown more accurately and are caught directly by the recipients with their hands, while others are thrown more casually and end up in the containers of bread or milk for breakfast.
Especially letters, once they fall into plates or cups containing soup or liquid, they often become very difficult to handle.
Many students who were busy dealing with the wet letters had expressions of disgust and aversion on their faces.
As usual, since he had established long-term and stable communication channels with many well-known wizards around the world, Zuo Si received a thick stack of letters and more than a dozen samples and gifts as usual.
As a man with a photographic memory and who could read quickly, he read all the new letters in just a few minutes.
Especially the letter from Dolores Umbridge of the Ministry of Magic, which made Zuo Si smile meaningfully and playfully.
Because what he is best at dealing with are people who are completely corrupted by power and wealth and have no bottom line.
It would be great if I could use the other party's hands to dig out all the secrets hidden in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic, as well as a large amount of the world's most precious, rare and dangerous magical knowledge and related items.
As for the position of Minister of Magic that Dolores Umbridge wanted, Zuo Si had no problem making a promise and helping out a little.
Anyway, it's just one day at a time, and whether he will be quickly kicked out or not is none of his business.
He has always had a flexible moral bottom line when it comes to delivering on his promises.
"You know, Soth, that smile on your face right now is very cunning, just like those evil villains in the movies." Hermione couldn't help but remind him in a low voice.
"Oh? Really? Being a villain doesn't seem so bad.
At least in my opinion, the villains in many movies are much more attractive than the protagonists.
The villains in many classic movies have far greater ideals, awareness, and ability to take practical actions than the protagonists, and they are eager to change this world full of injustice.
Most importantly, they often rely on their own clever minds and a series of sophisticated plans, rather than relying entirely on luck and boring personal heroism like the protagonist. "
Zuo Si shrugged nonchalantly and used magic to burn Umbridge's letter into ashes.
It was obviously the first time that the girl heard such an argument. She stood there in a daze for a long time, unable to come back to her senses.
But after a while, she recalled many classic movies she had watched, especially the villains played by veteran actors, who were indeed full of a very bad but very attractive charm, and then nodded thoughtfully.
"Okay, I have to admit that what you said makes some sense, but it only applies to those characters who are both good and evil, not completely bad assholes."
Zuo Si smiled and responded, "Of course! Take the magic world as an example. If you have read the history of modern magic carefully, you will find that Gellert Grindelwald, the famous black wizard who set off a revolutionary wave that swept across Europe during the Second World War, actually won the support of quite a lot of people at that time. It is said that anyone who has heard his speech will not be able to help but have a strong admiration for him and think that it is a great cause worth giving everything and even life for.
So this is the kind of villain you mentioned who is both good and evil and full of charm.
Compared with Gellert Grindelwald, Voldemort is obviously more than one level lower.
He has neither the grand ideal of changing the way society or even the world works, nor the charm of the former that can win thousands of supporters with a single speech.
He can only rely on cheap violence, killing, death and fear to make everyone afraid of him, and gain their support by advocating pure-blood theory and giving more power to those pure-blood families.
Voldemort was unable to create new order and prosperity, but only brought endless chaos, turmoil, and unrest. He also stood in opposition to the majority of wizards. It was no surprise that he would eventually fail.
As for our savior Harry Potter, he only played a small role in promoting the event.
That is why I have always emphasized that when you consider a problem, 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, limited to the small area of the magical world.
But most of the planet we live on is occupied by people who don't know magic, and they are the real masters of the world."
"You seem to admire Gellert Grindelwald very much?" Hermione asked in an uncertain tone.
"I'm not advocating, but I totally agree with his idea of breaking the Statute of Secrecy and establishing a world ruled by wizards.
At least under the rule of wizards, there will be no more invasion, colonization, plunder and genocide on Earth.
The behavior of big countries using their powerful military force to humiliate small countries, or even to directly overthrow the other party's regime without any disguise, will be completely prohibited.
Greedy and unscrupulous capital will also be curbed, rather than using financial tools to unscrupulously plunder the resources and wealth of backward countries in order to make profits.
Although this may lead to the birth of a whole new ruling class, I think compared to the current world where everyone is competing with each other for the worst, it doesn't hurt to let the wizards give it a try.
At least wizards do not have any original sin. Even the relationship between the Ministries of Magic of various countries is more harmonious than that between the Muggle governments, and no war has ever broken out.
In addition, the confrontation between Gellert Grindelwald and Headmaster Dumbledore is not actually the so-called "battle between good and evil" as many people understand it, but more like a dispute over ideas and routes.
Neither side even had the intention of killing the other in the final duel.
Unfortunately, for some personal reasons, perhaps because he suddenly softened his heart or because he still had feelings for her, he finally chose to give in. ”
When saying 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, and even transform the Earth into a magical world.
If Grindelwald had succeeded back then, who knows whether, after the fusion of magic and technology over the past few decades, a large number of complex intelligent robots similar to constructs would have appeared, or magical spaceships that could travel in the vast universe would have been created.
At this moment, Zuo Si could increasingly understand why many ancient travelers were often lonely, and would not return to their hometowns for hundreds or even thousands of years.
With the power of the spark, they have traveled to countless places, seen various civilizations, and seen deeper and farther than their compatriots in their hometown who are confined to their small world.
And this gap has reached a point that cannot be described in words.
Of course, Zuo Si, who had just become a planeswalker, was still far from reaching that level, but the difference in thinking had already begun to slowly show up.
Fortunately, Hermione was used to Zuo Si's often shocking opinions. After a brief shock, she quickly regained her composure, picked up the cup and drank the remaining milk in one breath, licking her lips and said, "I read in a book that Grindelwald did not die after his defeat, but was imprisoned in Nurmengard Castle. If you are interested in him, you can 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 surprise.
"Well - of course it's to supplement calcium and increase height." Hermione replied in a slightly guilty tone.
However, when she said this, her eyes subconsciously glanced down at her chest, which was not very obviously protruding, and the plump bust 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. He handed over the glass of milk in front of him, and said with a smile: "Then drink my glass too. After all, a bigger one... I mean a taller one, it can make you more feminine."
moment!
Hermione's face turned red when her little thoughts were discovered. She hastily raised the cup and tried to drink all the milk in one breath to hide her panic and nervousness.
But because he drank too quickly, he accidentally choked and not only vomited all over the table, but also couldn't stop coughing, attracting a lot of attention from people around him.
Especially when he saw Zuo Si patting the girl's back, Ron, who had not had a smooth life since the beginning of the school year, suddenly felt inexplicably jealous. He couldn't help but say to his friends around him, "Damn it! Look at the two of them, being so affectionate in public, they have no idea what shame is."
"You still have the mind to care about other things now?"
Harry, who had two black panda eyes, asked back unhappily.
Since the end of the Potions class yesterday, he had been tossing and turning all night, unable to sleep, his mind filled with the horrific scenes described by Zuo Si.
I barely fell asleep until about three in the morning, but I had an extremely realistic and terrifying nightmare.
In the dream, his mother not only married Snape, but also gave birth to several younger brothers and sisters, and he had to call the person he hated most "father".
Especially the expression on Snape's face, which was exactly the same as in Potions class.
"Well, maybe you're right, I have Charms today and I should be worried about whether this wand is working properly."
As he said this, Ron retracted his jealousy, lowered his head and looked at the wand in his hand that was broken at the beginning of the new semester and then glued together with tape, and couldn't help sighing.
There is no doubt that this year has been a hellish start for him.
On the first day of school, he failed to pass Platform 9 3/4 and had to drive the flying car that his father secretly made using magic to rush to school.
Not only was he nearly hit by a speeding train along the way, but he was also attacked by the Whomping Willow after landing, and he barely managed to save his life.
As a result, before he had time to celebrate his survival, he was caught by the most annoying Snape.
Although the whole process was full of weirdness, apart from being punished with solitary confinement, he was not expelled from school as expected.
But early the next morning, a screaming letter from his mother made Ron completely embarrassed in front of the whole school and he died socially on the spot.
If the above were just appetizers, then what happened in the Potions class made him complete despair.
No one knew what medicine Snape had taken wrong, but he suddenly changed his bad attitude towards Harry and focused all his firepower on him.
Especially the sarcastic remarks with vicious words, which made Ron so ashamed and angry that he wanted to faint immediately.
It is foreseeable that in the Potions classes throughout the next semester, Snape will continue to target him as always, and the mere thought of it is chilling.
Sometimes Ron even thought that it would not be a bad thing if he was fired.
At worst, I would get a good beating from my mother when I got home, and then I could do whatever I wanted, instead of feeling like I was being tortured every day like now.
"This thing is too dangerous. You should get a new wand," Harry suggested with some concern.
He had witnessed with his own eyes that this broken wand would emit chilling sparks when casting a spell, which was very dangerous just to look at.
Poor Ron was disheartened and said self-deprecatingly, "Writing home to ask for a new wand? Don't be ridiculous! My angry mother will probably send me a second yelling letter, saying that I deserve it all."
"I can lend you some money to buy a new wand first."
Harry carefully tried to get his friend to accept his kindness and help, while avoiding stimulating his self-esteem.
Before entering the wizarding world, he had hardly ever received any pocket money, and he understood how bad and inferior the feeling of being penniless would make one feel.
"No, no thanks." Ron refused without hesitation.
This is the last bit of dignity, and also the bottom line that cannot be crossed.
Just when he was about to eat something, he suddenly saw a huge black shadow appear out of nowhere.
When he looked up, he saw Snape standing in front of the table, staring at him with a pair of oppressive eyes.
"Professor, what can I do for you?"
Ron was obviously frightened, and even his voice trembled.
"Due to the great damage you have caused to the Whomping Willow, I have decided to have you personally participate in the work of pruning and restoring it as a punishment. Now take your wand and follow me. You don't have to attend your class today."
Snape explained his purpose in a cold and emotionless tone.
Apparently this was part of a plan to separate Ron from Harry, to spend as little time together as possible.
In his opinion, the reason why Harry became what he is now is all because of being led astray by the unmotivated Ron.
Therefore, if the two of them could be separated and Harry could spend as much time with Zuo Si as possible, he would be able to get rid of his current silly appearance and become a little smarter.
Moreover, Zuo Si has magic mercury in his hand that can bring the dead back to life. If they can maintain a good relationship with him, even if he fails to fight against Voldemort and dies accidentally in the future, he can be resurrected afterwards, so Lily will not be sad.
I have to say that from the perspective of a "stepfather", it is quite commendable that he can think so much about his adopted son who has no blood relationship with him.
But the savior obviously ignored Snape's good intentions. Seeing his friend's pitiful appearance, he immediately couldn't help but whispered, "Um... Professor, I was also responsible for breaking the Whomping Willow. Should I be punished as well?"
moment!
Ron's eyes welled up with tears of emotion.
After all, being punished alone and being punished with others are two completely different emotional situations.
The former will inevitably feel isolated, while the latter will feel much better psychologically because of the company of others.
Unfortunately, Snape's goal was to separate the two. How could he allow the two to get together again? So he forced a smile and explained in a friendly manner: "No, Potter, you don't need to accept this punishment. Because it was Weasley who was driving, not you, and there is a class taught by South today. You'd better listen carefully. It is a great technology that can change the future of the entire wizarding world."
"But..."
Harry felt guilty when he saw Ron's miserable appearance, and wanted to fight for it again.
"No buts! Remember, you are Lily's son, and your mother is one of the most talented witches I have ever seen in my life. Her achievements in potions and spells are enough to put the descendants of those proud pure-blood families to shame. So don't let her down, do you understand?"
Snape's tone suddenly became stern, and revealed a kind of anger that was disappointing.
This attitude immediately reminded the savior of the nightmare he had in the early morning. He immediately shuddered and nodded subconsciously: "Understood!"
"Excellent! I look forward to seeing you perform this semester."
After saying that, Snape quickly took Ron and disappeared at the end of the corridor.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Weasley family's youngest son will probably have a very difficult time this semester.
Even Hermione, who had just stopped coughing after spitting up milk, couldn't help but say with some sympathy: "Isn't Ron a little too pitiful? I feel like Professor Snape is targeting him on purpose."
"Don't worry. Suffering is sometimes not a bad thing for men, but a good medicine. It can not only help them quickly shed their immaturity and naivety and move towards maturity, but also sharpen a person's will. Perhaps after this semester, we will be able to see a completely different Weasley, a Ron who has walked out of the shadow of his brothers." Zuo Si said meaningfully.
"Are you sure? Why does Ron look like he's about to cry?" Hermione asked with strong doubt in her tone.
In the girl's mind, Ron has always been a cowardly and stupid person who is hopeless.
"Don't underestimate Ron, he has amazing potential.
This can be seen from the talents of the Weasley twin brothers and their equally outstanding brothers.
And haven't you heard that there is power within every human being?
When it awakens, even the smallest and most misshapen dwarf can cast a shadow of enormous size.
What's more, Ron is not a dwarf, and the Weasley name is still very influential in the wizarding world.
If he can understand himself again and figure out some things, he might be able to transform himself into a different person."
Zuo Si is obviously not as pessimistic as Hermione about Ron's life.
Just the opposite!
He felt that if the other party really separated from Harry completely, he might get an opportunity to completely change the trajectory of his life and no longer have to live in a humble manner under the huge halo of the savior.
Students of all ages rushed to the largest classroom, carrying a heavy book and a large number of tools for making magic scrolls.
When they all sat down and looked towards the podium with expectation, they found that the person standing there was not Zuo Si himself, but Gilderoy Lockhart, the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts who had been hired this year.
The man, who always dressed himself up like a peacock, first showed a standard eight-tooth smile to all the students, then raised a finger and said loudly: "Good morning, my lovely students and the fans who adore me.
Maybe you will feel very strange, why I appear here.
Actually, I came here to help at the invitation of Soth.
Because the rising star and genius of the magic world, Soth, had no previous coaching experience, he asked me to give him some guidance.
Although in the eyes of many laymen, the technology of making magic scrolls is profound and difficult to understand, it is completely easy for me.
After I got the textbook, it only took me a few days to learn all the contents..."
As these words came out, there was an uproar in the audience.
You should 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 magic world as a very difficult technology with great potential for further development.
Even Dumbledore, the greatest wizard of our time, has publicly stated more than once that he has only learned the basics and it will take another two or three years to fully master it.
Harry, who was trying to learn by himself through books, opened his mouth wide and asked the girl sitting next to him in an incredulous tone: "Professor Lockhart must be joking, right?"
"Alas - although I also hope so, judging from his expression, he is not joking." Hermione held her forehead with her hand and showed a painful expression that was unbearable to look at.
Only now did she realize what the senior Gryffindor students had meant when they said that this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts class was a disaster.
Obviously, judging from Gilderoy Lockhart's current performance, this guy is a complete idiot.
Just when the crowd was getting excited and Gilderoy Lockhart was beginning to lose control of the situation, Zuo Si walked in slowly from the side door with steady steps as usual. With just a glance, the noisy students quickly quieted down.
The Slytherin House, which had been making the loudest noise, was instantly silenced. They all shut their mouths and sat down obediently, their eyes revealing awe and fear.
Master Malfoy even opened his notebook, showing an attitude of studying hard and making progress every day.
There is no doubt that Zuo Si's ability to suppress these students with different personalities and difficult to manage with his aura without saying a word immediately made Gilderoy Lockhart feel very envious and jealous.
Because he understood that this kind of deterrence based on strong strength was something that a liar like him would never be able to obtain.
However, in order to hide the embarrassment of almost screwing up, he still smiled and forced an explanation: "The students at Hogwarts are really too enthusiastic. They cheered so loudly. It seems that I will be welcomed no matter where I go."
"Of course! After all, you are Gilderoy Lockhart, voted as the most charming smile award by Witch Weekly five times, winner of the Order of Merlin, third degree medal, honorary member of the Anti-Dark Magic League, and author of a series of best-selling novels."
Zuo Si listed all of the other party's most proud titles in one breath.
Under his deliberate flattery, Lockhart's vanity was instantly greatly satisfied, and he even felt a little proud. His whole face was full of smugness, and he immediately returned the compliment by saying, "The little achievement and honor I have obtained is still far from being comparable to your epoch-making invention."
"You are too modest, Professor. If you don't mind, let's start today's class right away."
Zuo Si obviously did not intend to waste any more words with the "experimental subject" in front of him, and immediately ended the meaningless nonsense.
He walked straight to the podium, raised his wand and drew hundreds of different symbols in the air, then asked directly: "Who can tell me what these symbols are?"
In less than a second, Hermione, who always liked to answer questions quickly in class, raised her hand first.
"Ms. Granger, you answer." Zuo Si made a gesture of invitation to the girl.
"These are runes with special magical effects that you invented through studying ancient runes. Their function is to combine and arrange them so that the spell can be completely preserved inside a scroll or other object."
Hermione told everything she knew without reservation.
Of course, the "invention through the study of ancient runes" was completely false. It was actually intended to create a reason for other wizards to accept this rune system from the continent of Faerun.
"Very well said, ten points to Gryffindor.
Before this class officially begins, I want you to remember that magic and spell storage are not something that can be performed by simply learning the spell and then mobilizing the magic power in your body and waving a wand.
Instead, it is closer to a rigorous natural science.
Whether it is the arrangement and combination of runes, or restoring the simplified spells to a stable spell structure by tracing their origins, it all tests a person's logical thinking and memory.
If you make a mistake during this process, it could result in an accident at best, or even kill you and others around you.
In order to give you a more intuitive understanding, we would like to invite Professor Gilderoy Lockhart to give you a demonstration."
As he spoke, a teasing and malicious light flashed in Zuo Si's eyes.
Lockhart had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem. He thought this was a good opportunity to show off, so he asked excitedly, "What should I do?"
Zuo Si pointed at the runes floating above his head and answered, "It's very simple. You just need to use your rich knowledge, experience and feeling to select four of the runes that you think are the most harmless and safest, and then carve them onto this prepared parchment. Then cast a simple spell on the parchment."
"No problem! This simple demonstration is no problem for me."
Lockhart confidently selected four of the hundreds of runes that he thought looked the best.
With the help of the prepared dragon blood ink, he completed the carving of the runes in less than five minutes. Finally, he raised his wand and released the forgetfulness spell that he was best at.
After finishing all this, he couldn't wait to show his achievements to all the students present and brag about them.
Zuo Si did not stop all this. Instead, after the other party was extremely satisfied, he calmly added: "Open it now!"
"Ah? What are you talking about?" Lockhart was stunned.
"Open it."
Zuo Si repeated his words again.
And while he was saying this, the students in the audience could clearly see him taking several steps back.
Lockhart seemed to realize that something was wrong, and after hesitating for a moment, he decided to open the scroll in his hand.
The moment the first rune was activated, a blinding fire and magic power instantly gushed out from the scroll, burning his hair, face, and clothes to ashes, even the underwear under his robe.
The only thing to be thankful for was that the flames and energy were not very much. They all disappeared in less than two or three seconds after they appeared, leaving behind only a naked man with large black burn marks all over his body.
“Ah ...
The girls present had never seen such an exciting scene before, and they immediately covered their eyes and screamed shrilly.
However, during the screaming process, there were still quite a few bold ones who were peeking through their fingers.
As for the boys, they burst into laughter without any hesitation.
The "fun-loving" Weasley brothers took out a magic camera from somewhere and kept pressing the shutter, trying to record this classic scene.
Zuo Si glanced at Gilderoy Lockhart, whose face was full of shame and anger, with a merciless look, then raised his hand to signal everyone to keep quiet, and then began the public execution.
"I believe you have all seen that our dear Professor Lockhart only chose four wrong runes and cast a seemingly harmless forgetfulness spell to cause such consequences.
The first rune he used represented fire and energy, and was often used to store fire-related spells.
Any scroll that has this rune added to it can often increase the destructiveness and power of the spell.
If a wizard's magic power is very strong, then when he makes a magic scroll, he will need to use this rune repeatedly to ensure that the spell he casts can be completely recorded and stored.
So in the first lesson, what I want to warn you is to remember the purpose and characteristics of each rune, and under no circumstances try to combine two runes with completely opposite characteristics.
otherwise……
Professor Lockhart's current situation is a lesson for us.
Finally, let us give Lockhart a warm round of applause and thank him for setting a wrong example for everyone at the cost of his own injury. "
moment!
The students present responded immediately, laughing wildly, cheering loudly, and clapping vigorously.
What does it mean to kill someone and destroy their heart? This is it!
The most infuriating thing was that Lockhart couldn't get angry right now, but had to act as if all this had been discussed beforehand, covering his vital parts and forcing a smile to nod to the audience.
Just as he retreated cautiously and tried to escape, Zuo Si grabbed him and asked with a devilish smile on his face: "Professor, where are you going? Our class has just begun."
"Please... please! Let me go! I admit that I wanted to use your fame to gain some popularity, but I have been punished, haven't I?" Lockhart pleaded in a low voice.
Although he is a shameless liar, he is not a brainless fool.
If you still don't realize that the other person is deliberately trying to bully you, then you can end your life immediately.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand. Anyway, don't worry, you promised me that you would at least cooperate with me and finish this class." As he said this, Zuo Si slightly increased the strength of his hands.
With the terrifying power attribute, Lockhart felt that the other party's palm and fingers were like iron clamps. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not move at all. He could only take a step back and continue to beg: "Then you should at least give me a piece of clothing?"
But Zuo Si rejected it mercilessly, "That's not necessary. When have you ever seen a wizard put clothes on mice in cages during a magic experiment?"
As these words came out of his mouth, Lockhart immediately felt that his identity as a liar must have been seen through by the scary young man in front of him.
Especially those deep black pupils, which made him feel no warmth at all, it was like a biting cold wind blowing from the Arctic.
Finally, Gilderoy Lockhart succeeded.
Because he was afraid that Zuo Si might have evidence of his fraud, and if he resisted he might lose everything he had, including his reputation, wealth, and respected social status.
For more than an hour, this man with a series of titles was played around like a monkey in front of the whole school. At the same time, he had to keep smiling to show that he did all this willingly.
A senior student who had taken the Defense Against the Dark Arts class saw this scene and immediately complained: "Damn it! I'm actually starting to feel a little sympathetic towards Gilderoy Lockhart. Because in front of South, he's like a poor puppet or a clown."
"This is definitely not voluntary! I bet!"
Another senior student nearby couldn't help but interfere.
Compared with other colleges, Slytherin College, which has always been accustomed to worshiping the strong and power, gave the highest praise to Zuo Si's behavior.
The head girl, Gemma Farley, said to a follower without any reservation: "See? I have told you more than once before that South is definitely a typical Slytherin. In front of him, a fool like Gilderoy Lockhart is a complete joke."
"But he is unwilling to accept our surrender and loyalty."
"No, you are wrong. It's not that he is unwilling to accept us, but that he cannot accept us. Don't forget that the You-Know-Who established the famous Death Eaters by developing his followers in school. If South, who is also talented and from Slytherin House, did the same, what would you think if you were Headmaster Dumbledore?"
Needless to say, after a year of thinking, Gemma Farley has understood what Zuo Si meant by his previous words.
moment!
Several senior students around showed expressions of sudden enlightenment.
Similarly, they also felt heartfelt admiration for Zuo Si's wisdom.
Because most lower grade students cannot have such a broad view and keen insight into human nature.
"So what do you think we should do?" a male who was about to graduate asked tentatively in a low voice.
"Like I told you before, we need to continue to maintain our relationship and build a network, and when he needs us, he will naturally send a very clear signal."
After saying this, Gemma Farley no longer paid attention to anyone else, but looked at Zuo Si on the podium with an admiring look.
As an ambitious Slytherin, she obviously has very clear and specific plans for her life.
Whether it is power or a partner, we always want the best.
Thinking of this, Gemma Farley turned her attention to Hermione Granger, who had recently been involved in a lot of "rumors" with Zuo Si.
After carefully comparing the advantages and disadvantages between herself and the other party, she suddenly felt that she should find a few opportunities to talk to Zuo Si.
After all, she is a very traditional British witch.
Traditional enough not to mind having a lover like in the 16th to 18th centuries, or allowing her husband to have several lovers outside...
Of course, Zuo Si had no idea what Slytherin head girl Gemma Farley thought.
Even if I knew, I wouldn't care too much.
Because with the reminder of the diary, he has realized that his personality and actions make it very easy to attract the so-called "bad women".
Moreover, compared to the "big surprise" brought by Isadora and the love confession from the goddess of poison and disease Talona, he felt that nothing in this world could scare him.
As for Gemma Farley, she was just a small episode in campus life and was not worth wasting time and energy on.
When this "lively" and "unique" class ended, Lockhart immediately ran away in shame like a rat crossing the street.
When passing by the back corridor, he suddenly found a black diary placed alone on the chair, and next to it were the teaching materials and tools used by Zuo Si in class.
Driven by a desire for revenge, the liar suddenly became furious and bolder. While no one was paying attention, he grabbed the diary and ran back to his office.
As soon as he finished stealing and ran away, Zuo Si suddenly appeared next to the chair and said in a playful tone, "See what I said? To deal with a guy like Lockhart, there is no need for any complicated schemes or tricks. Just throw the hook and he will bite it."
"Well, you are right. With Voldemort's intelligence, I believe it won't take long for him to play with this idiot. Then we will be able to observe how the Horcrux works and how it is reborn from nothing."
The diary was clearly disappointed that Lockhart had failed to see such an obvious trap.
Because it really couldn't figure out how this guy could fool so many wizards if he couldn't even see through such a simple scam?
Since the mind of the creature and the master is connected, Zuo Si immediately sensed the diary's doubts and explained with a smile, "It's not that Lockhart is too stupid to see through such a simple trap, but I just gave him a huge humiliation, causing him to hate me to the bone but helpless, and desperately want to find a way to vent. Anger can make people lose their reason and the ability to analyze and think. So after determining that the thing was mine, Lockhart subconsciously chose to steal it as revenge."
"So this is a chain trap, and you set up everything from the beginning?" The diary made a surprised sound.
Zuo Si nodded slightly. "That's right. In fact, if Lockhart didn't steal this time, I also prepared the second, third, fourth and fifth steps. In short, as an experimental subject, he actually has no choice. Falling into the trap is just a matter of sooner or later."
