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 travellers 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 completely 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 deserved 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..."

伴随着这番话脱口而出，台下瞬间一片哗然。

要知道左思提出的魔法卷轴制作与咒语存储技术，早已被整个魔法界的知名巫师和专家公认为是一种难度非常高且极具深挖潜力的技术。

就连当代最伟大的巫师邓布利多都不止一次公开表示，自己目前也只学了一个皮毛，想要完全掌握也得两三年的功夫。

尝试着通过书本自学的哈利更是长大嘴巴，用难以置信的语气问坐在自己身边的少女：“洛哈特教授一定是在开玩笑，对不对？”

“唉——虽然我也希望是如此，但从他的表情来看应该不是在开玩笑。”赫敏扶着额头露出了不忍直视的痛苦表情。

她此刻才意识到，格兰芬多高年级学生说今年的黑魔法防御课简直就是一场灾难是什么意思了。

很显然，从吉德罗·洛哈特目前的表现来看，这家伙完全就是个彻头彻尾的草包。

正当群情激奋，吉德罗·洛哈特有些控制不住场面的时候，左思这才如同往常一样，迈着稳健的步伐从缓缓从侧门走了进来，仅仅用了一个眼神就让原本吵闹的学生们迅速变得安静下来。

其中起哄最厉害的斯莱特林学院，更是在一刹那相中了沉默术，不约而同闭上嘴巴老老实实坐下来，眼神中透露出敬畏与恐惧。

马尔福少爷更是翻开笔记本，摆出一副好好学习天天向上的姿态。

毫无疑问，左思这种一言不发，仅凭气场就压制住了这些性格各异且不太好管理学生的举动，顿时让吉德罗·洛哈特感到十分的羡慕和嫉妒。

因为他明白，这种建立在强大实力基础之上的威慑力，是他这种骗子永远也不可能获得的东西。

不过为了掩饰差点搞砸尴尬，他还是死皮赖脸的笑着强行解释道：“霍格沃茨的学生们还真是热情的过分，居然会发出那么巨大的欢呼声，看来我不管走到什么地方都是一样受欢迎。”

“那是当然！毕竟您可是吉德罗·洛哈特，被《巫师周刊》先后五次评选为最迷人微笑奖，梅林爵士团三级勋章获得者，反黑魔法联盟荣誉会员，还是系列畅销小说的作者。”

左思一口气把对方最得意的头衔全部说了出来。

在他刻意的恭维下，洛哈特的虚荣心瞬间得到极大的满足，甚至感觉有些飘飘然，整个脸上都充满了得意的表情，立刻投桃报李的吹捧道：“我所获得的这点成就和荣誉，还是远远无法与你划时代的发明相提并论。”

“您太谦虚了教授。如果不介意的话，就让我们立刻开始今天的课吧。”

左思显然不打算继续跟眼前这个“试验品”浪费太多口舌，瞬间结束了毫无营养的废话。

他径直走上讲台，抬起魔杖在空气中一口气划出了数百个截然不同的符号，然后直截了当的问：“你们谁能告诉我，这些符号究竟是什么？”

仅仅不到一秒种，总喜欢在课堂上抢答的赫敏便率先举起了手。

“格兰杰小姐，你来回答。”左思冲少女做了个请的手势。

“这些都是您通过研究古代如尼文字发明具有特殊魔力效果的符文。它们的作用是通过组合排列，让咒语得以完整的被保存在卷轴或是其他物品内部。”

赫敏把自己知道的内容毫无保留的一股脑说了出来。

当然，那个“通过研究古代如尼文字创造发明”完全是假的，实际上是为了给这套来自费伦大陆符文系统弄一个可以被其他巫师们接受的理由。

“说的非常好，格兰芬多加十分。

在这堂课正式开始之前，我希望你们记住，魔法和咒语存储并不是广义上只要学会咒语，然后调动体内魔力挥舞魔杖就能施展出来的东西。

而是更接近于一门严谨的自然科学。

不管是符文的排序、组合，还是通过溯源将被简化的咒语恢复到拥有稳定法术结构的状态，都非常考验一个人的逻辑思维和记忆力。

在这个过程中如果出错了，那么轻则会制造一场事故，重则会导致你在丢掉小命的同时顺手害死周围其他人。

为了让你们有一个更直观的认识，接下来就有请我们的吉德罗·洛哈特教授来做个示范。”

说着，左思的眼睛里闪过一抹戏谑且不怀好意的光芒。

洛哈特还没有意识到问题的严重性，以为这是一个出风头的好机会，赶忙兴奋不已的问道：“我要怎么做？”

左思指着漂浮在头顶的那些符文回答：“很简单。你只需要凭借丰富的知识、经验和感觉，从这些符文中挑选出四个认为最无害、最安全的，然后把它们刻画到这张事先准备好的羊皮之上。紧跟着再对羊皮纸释放一个简单的咒语。”

“没问题！这种简单的示范对于我来说毫无难度。”

洛哈特自信满满的在数以百计符文中选择了四个他认为最好看的。

借助调制好的龙血墨水，他仅用不到五分钟的功夫就完成了符文的刻画，最后举起魔杖释放了一个自己最擅长的遗忘咒。

等做完这一切，他急不可耐向在场所有学生展示自己的成果并大肆吹嘘。

左思并没有阻止这一切，而是在对方获得极大满足之后，才不动声色开口补充道：“现在打开它！”

“啊？你在说什么？”洛哈特楞了一下。

“打开它。”

左思把自己的话又重复了一遍。

而且在说这番话的时候，台下的学生们能够清晰看到他向后退了好几步。

洛哈特似乎也意识到情况好像有点不太对劲，稍微犹豫片刻之后，还是选择将手里的卷轴打开。

当第一个符文被启动的刹那，一股刺眼的火光和魔力瞬间从卷轴里喷涌而出，直接把他的头发、脸和衣服全部烧了个精光，就连长袍下边的贴身衣物也不例外。

唯一值得庆幸的是，这些火焰和能量都不是很多，在出现后不到两三秒左右就全部消失不见，只留下一个全身上下一丝不挂且呈现出大片黑色烧伤痕迹的裸男。

“啊啊啊啊！！！！！！！”

在场的女生们哪里见过这种刺激的画面，立马捂住眼睛集体发出刺耳尖叫。

不过在尖叫过程中，还是有不少比较大胆的正透过指缝偷看。

至于男生们则毫不客气的哄堂大笑。

像“乐子人”韦斯莱兄弟也不知道从什么地方掏出了魔法照相机，咔咔的不停按快门，想要把这经典的一幕记录下来。

左思用毫无慈悲的目光瞥了一眼满脸都是羞愤的吉德罗·洛哈特，然后抬起手示意所有人保持安静，然后开始了公开处刑。

“相信你们都已经看到了，我们亲爱的洛哈特教授仅仅只是挑选了四个错误的符文，外加一个看似无害的遗忘咒，就造成了这样的后果。

其中他所使用的第一个符文，代表着火焰与能量，通常来说在存储跟火焰有关的咒语时会被经常用到。

凡是加入这个符文的卷轴，往往可以提高咒语的破坏性与威力。

如果一名巫师的魔力非常强大，那么他在制作类似魔法卷轴的时候，就需要反复使用这个符文来确保自己施展的魔咒能够别完整记录、存储进去。

所以第一堂课，我要告诫你们的就是牢记每一个符文的用途跟特性，无论如何都不要轻易去尝试把两种特性截然相反符文组合到一起。

不然的话……

洛哈特教授目前的状态就是前车之鉴。

最后，让我们为洛哈特送上热烈的掌声，并感激他不惜以自己受伤的代价为所有人做了一个错误的示范。”

瞬间！

在场的学生们立刻做出回应，一边狂笑且大声喝采，一边用力鼓掌。

什么叫做杀人诛心？ 这就是了！

最可气的是，洛哈特现在还不能生气，而是要摆出一副这一切都是之前商量好的样子，捂着要害部位强行挤出一丝微笑向台下点头。

就在他小心翼翼后退并想要逃走的时候，左思一把将其拽住，脸上挂着恶魔般的笑容问：“教授，您这是要去哪？我们的课才刚刚开始呢。”

“求……求求你！放过我吧！我承认是想要借用你的名气来蹭点热度，但我已经受到了惩罚不是吗？”洛哈特压低声音苦苦哀求道。

尽管他是一个不要脸的骗子，但却不是没脑子的傻瓜。

如果这还没看出来对方是在故意整自己，那就可以赶紧自我了断了。

“你在说什么？我怎么听不懂呢？总之别急，您可是答应过我至少要配合着上完这堂课。”说着，左思稍微增加了一点手上的力度。

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 succumbed.

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 interject.

Compared with other colleges, Slytherin College, which has always been accustomed to worshipping 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."
