Chapter 293: Murder and Heartbreaking (a 10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)
Early in the morning, in the auditorium on the first floor of Hogwarts.
Flocks of owls flew overhead, then dive-bombed various letters and packages onto the students' desks.
Some of them are thrown more accurately and will be caught directly by the recipient with both hands, while others are thrown more casually and end up falling into the breakfast container of bread or milk.
Especially letters, once dropped into a plate or cup containing soup or liquid, it often becomes very difficult to handle.
Many students who were busy processing the wet letters had expressions of disgust and disgust on their faces.
As usual, because he has 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 as usual. with gifts.
As a person with a photographic memory and a quick eye, he read all the new letters in just a few minutes.
Especially the letter from Dolores Umbridge of the Ministry of Magic brought a meaningful and playful smile to Zuo Si's face.
Because what he is best at dealing with is this kind of person who is completely corrupted by power and wealth and has no bottom line.
It would be great if we could use the other party's help to dig out all the secrets hidden in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic, as well as a large number of the most precious, rarest, and most dangerous magical knowledge and related items in the world.
As for the position of Minister of Magic that Dolores Umbridge wanted, Zuo Si didn't mind making a promise at all and would help a little bit with the operation.
Anyway, one day is considered a day. Whether he will be kicked off quickly at that time has nothing to do with him.
He has always had a flexible moral bottom line when it comes to fulfilling his promises.
"You know, Soth, the smile on your face now is very cunning, just like those evil villains in the movies." Hermione couldn't help but remind her in a low voice.
"Oh? Really, it seems good to be a villain.
At least in my opinion, the villains in many movies are much more charming than the protagonists.
In many classic movies The villains are far more ideal, aware, and capable of taking practical actions than the protagonists, and they are eager to change this world full of injustice.
The most important thing is that they often rely on their smart minds and determination. A series of sophisticated plans, rather than relying entirely on luck and boring personal heroism like the protagonist."
Zuo Si shrugged indifferently and burned Umbridge's letter with a magic point. Became ashes.
It was obviously the first time for the girl to hear this argument, and she was stunned for a long time without being able to recover.
But after a while, she recalled the many classic movies she had watched, especially the villains played by veteran actors. They were indeed full of a very bad but attractive charm. , and then nodded thoughtfully.
"Okay, I have to admit that what you said makes sense, but only for those characters who are both good and evil, not completely bad bastards."
Zuo Si responded with a smile. : "Of course! Take the wizarding world as an example. If you carefully read the history of modern magic, you will find that the famous dark wizard who set off a wave of revolution across Europe during World War II - Gellert Grindelwald, In fact, he won the support of quite a lot of people at that time.
It is said that anyone who listened to his speech would not be able to help but have a strong admiration for him and think that is the one worth paying everything and even his life for. A great cause.
So this is the kind of villain you are talking about who is both good and evil and full of charm.
Compared with Gellert Grindelwald, Voldemort is obviously more than one level behind.
He neither has grand ideals to change the way society or the world operates, nor does he have the charisma of the former to win thousands of supporters with a single speech.
You can only rely on low-grade violence, killing, death and fear to make everyone fear you, and gain their support by advocating pure blood theory and giving more power to those pure blood families.
Voldemort was unable to create a new order and prosperity. He could only bring endless chaos, turmoil, and unrest. He also stood on the opposite side of most wizards. It is not surprising that he would eventually fail.
As for our savior Harry Potter, he only played a small role in promoting it.
That’s why I always emphasize 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 a small part of the magical world.
But most of the planet we live on is occupied by people without magic, and they are the real masters of the world. "
"You seem to admire Gellert Grindelwald very much? "Hermione asked in an uncertain tone.
"It's not about admiration, but 100% approval of his proposal to break the secrecy bill and establish a world ruled by wizards.
At least under the rule of wizards, there will be no more invasion, colonization, and plunder on the earth. and the occurrence of genocide.
The behavior of a big country using its powerful military power to insult a small country, or even directly subverting the other party's regime will be completely prohibited
Greedy and without a bottom line. Capital will also be curbed, instead of 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 new ruling class, I think it is different from the current one. Compared with worlds that are worse than each other, it doesn't hurt to let the wizards give it a try
At least there is no original sin among the wizards. Even the relationship between the Ministry of Magic of various countries is more harmonious than that of the Muggle governments, and not even a war has ever broken out.
In addition, the confrontation between Gellert Grindelwald and Principal Dumbledore is actually not the so-called "war between good and evil" that many people understand, but is closer to a battle of ideas and lines. .
Both sides did not even have the intention of killing each other in the final duel.
Unfortunately, in the end, due to some personal reasons, maybe he suddenly softened his heart, or maybe his feelings were lingering, he finally chose to admit defeat. ”
When saying these words, Zuo Si did not hide his regret at all.
Because that was the last chance for wizards to replace Muggles as the rulers of the world, or even transform the earth into a magical world.
If Grindelwald had succeeded, who knows after decades of fusing magic and technology, there would have been a large number of complex intelligent robots similar to constructs, or maybe there would have been robots that could travel A magical spaceship in the vast universe.
At this moment, Zuo Si could increasingly understand why many ancient planeswalkers were often lonely, and would not even return to their hometowns for hundreds or even thousands of years to take a look.
With the power of sparks, they have been to countless places and seen various civilizations. They have seen deeper and further than their compatriots in their hometown who were bound to a 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 far from reaching that level, but the difference in thinking had begun to slowly show up.
Fortunately, Hermione was used to Zuo Si often saying some shocking views. After the brief shock, she quickly regained her composure, picked up the cup, drank the remaining milk in one breath, and licked Lip said: "I have read from the book that Grindelwald did not die after his defeat, but was imprisoned in the prison of 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 you don't like dairy products. Why did you suddenly start drinking milk recently?" Zuo Si glanced at him with a surprised look. girl.
"Well - of course it is to supplement calcium and increase height." Hermione replied with a slightly guilty tone.
But when she said this, her eyes subconsciously glanced down at her chest, which was not very obvious, and at the plump bust of another senior female student not far away.
Zuo Si was keenly aware of these small movements. He immediately raised the corners of his mouth slightly and handed over the glass of milk in front of him. He said with a half-smile: "Then drink my glass. After all, it's bigger... I mean taller. , can make you more feminine ”
Instantly!
Having been spied on her little thoughts, Hermione's face turned red. She hurriedly raised the cup and tried to drink all the milk in one go to hide her panic and nervousness.
But because he drank too quickly, he accidentally choked. Not only did he vomit all over the table, but he also coughed uncontrollably, attracting a lot of attention from around him.
Especially when he saw Zuo Si patting the girl's back with his hand, Ron, who had never had anything go his way since school started, felt an inexplicable jealousy. He couldn't help but feel jealous of the people around him. The friend said: "Damn it! Look at the two of them, they are actually making love to each other in public. They don't even know what shame is."
"Do you still have the mind to care about other things now?"
Harry, who had two black panda eyes on his side, asked angrily.
Since the end of yesterday's Potions class, he had been tossing and turning all night, unable to sleep, and his mind was filled with imagining the horrific scenes described by Zuo Si.
It wasn’t until about three o’clock in the morning that I finally fell asleep, but I had an extremely real and terrifying nightmare.
In the dream, his mother not only married Snape, but also gave birth to several brothers and sisters. He had to call the person he hated most "father".
Especially the expression on Snape's face was exactly the same as in Potions class.
"Well, maybe you are right, there is a Charms class today, and I should be worried about whether this wand can work properly."
As he said that, Ron took back his jealousy Heart, he lowered his head and looked at the wand in his hand that was broken at the beginning of the new semester and later held together with tape, and couldn't help but sigh.
There is no doubt that this year has been a hellish start for him.
On the first day of school, because he failed to pass platform nine and three-quarters, he had to drive the flying car his father secretly made with magic to rush to school.
Not only was he nearly hit by a roaring train along the way, but he was attacked by the Whomping Willow after landing, and he managed to save his life.
As a result, before he could celebrate his recovery, he was caught by the most annoying Snape.
Although the whole process was weird, apart from being punished by being placed in solitary confinement, he was not expelled from school as expected.
But early the next morning, a snarling letter from his mother made Ron completely embarrassed in front of the whole school, causing him to die socially on the spot.
If the above were just appetizers, then what happened in Potions class made him completely despair.
Because he didn't know what medicine Snape took wrongly, he actually changed his previous bad attitude towards Harry and focused all his firepower on him.
Especially the vicious and sarcastic words, which almost made Ron so embarrassed that he wanted to faint immediately.
It can be foreseen that Snape will target him as always in the Potions class throughout the next semester. Just thinking about it is chilling.
Sometimes Ron even felt that it would not be bad if he was fired.
At worst, I would be beaten up by 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 once witnessed with his own eyes that this broken wand would emit chilling sparks when casting a spell, and it was very dangerous just to look at it.
Poor Ron was frustrated and laughed at himself: "Write a letter home asking for a new wand? Don't be kidding! My mother who is very angry will probably send me a second howling letter in the mail. And said that I deserved all this."
"I can lend you some money to buy a new wand first."
Harry carefully tried to get his friend to accept his kindness. Ask for help while avoiding irritating the other person's self-esteem.
Before entering the magical world, he had hardly received any pocket money, and he understood that the feeling of being penniless would make people feel bad and have low self-esteem.
"No, no, thank you." Ron refused without hesitation.
This is the last dignity, and it is 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 thin air.
Looking up, it turned out that Snape was standing in front of the table, staring at him with a pair of oppressive eyes.
"Professor...Professor, what can I do for you?"
Ron was obviously frightened, even speaking with a trembling voice.
"Because of the great damage you caused to the Whomping Willow, I have decided to let you personally participate in the work of pruning and restoring it as punishment. Now pick up your wand and follow me, your lesson today There’s no need.”
Snape explained his purpose in a cold and emotionless tone.
Obviously, this was part of a plan to separate Ron and Harry, to spend as little time as possible together.
In his opinion, the reason why Harry became what he was now was because of the failure of Ron, who did not seek to make progress.
So if the two of them can be separated and Harry can be with Zuo Si as much as possible, then he can get rid of his current stupidity and become smarter.
And Zuo Si also has magic mercury in his hand that can resurrect people from the dead. If they build a good relationship, even if they fail to fight Voldemort and die accidentally, they can be resurrected afterwards, which will not make Lily feel sad.
I have to say that from the perspective of a "stepfather", it is quite commendable to think of so much for a cheap son who has no blood relationship with him.
But the savior obviously ignored Snape's good intentions. Seeing his friend's pitiful look, he immediately couldn't help asking in a low voice: "That... professor, crashed the Whomping Willow? I have a share, should I be punished too?”
moment!
Ron's eyes burst into tears.
After all, being punished alone and being punished with other people are two completely different situations emotionally.
The former will inevitably produce a feeling of isolation, while the latter will feel much better psychologically because there is someone to accompany you.
Unfortunately, Snape's purpose was to separate the two people, so how could he allow the two to get together again, so he forced out a smile and explained in an amiable manner: "No, Potter, you don't need to accept such a punishment, because Weasley is driving, not you, and there is a lesson from Soth today. You'd better listen carefully. It is a lesson that can change the entire wizarding world. The great technology of the future.”
"But..."
Seeing Ron's miserable appearance, Harry clearly felt uneasy with his conscience and wanted to fight for it again.
"Nothing but! Remember, you are Lily's son, and your mother is one of the most talented witches I have ever seen in my life, with her achievements in the field of potions and spells , enough to make those descendants of proud pure-blood families feel ashamed, so don’t let her down, do you understand?”
Snape’s tone suddenly became stern, and he revealed a feeling of hatred. of anger.
This attitude immediately reminded the savior of the nightmare he had in the early morning. He couldn't help but shudder and nodded subconsciously: "Ming... understand!"
"Very good! I look forward to your performance this semester."
After that, Snape quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor with Ron.
If nothing else, the youngest son of the Weasley family will probably have a very difficult time this semester.
Even Hermione, who had just spit out milk to stop her coughing, couldn't help but sympathized: "Isn't Ron a little too pitiful? I feel like Professor Snape is deliberately targeting him."< br>
"Don't worry. Suffering is sometimes not a bad thing for men, but a good medicine. It can not only help them quickly lose their immaturity and innocence and move toward maturity, but also sharpen a person's will. Maybe wait. After this semester, we can see a completely different Weasley, a Ron who has stepped out of the shadow of his brothers," Zuo Si said meaningfully.
"Are you sure? It seems to me that Ron is about to cry?" Hermione said with strong suspicion in her tone.
In the girl's mind, Ron has always been the kind of cowardly and stupid image that cannot be supported by mud.
“Don’t underestimate Ron, his potential is amazing.
This can be seen from the talents of the Weasley twin brothers, as well as their other equally outstanding brothers. We can see it
And haven’t you heard a sentence?
Power lies deep within everyone.
When it awakens, even the shortest and most deformed dwarf can cast a huge shadow.
What's more, Ron is not a dwarf, and the surname Weasley is still very influential in the magical world.
If he could re-recognize himself and figure out some things, he might be able to transform into another person. "
Zuo Si is obviously not as pessimistic about Ron's life as Hermione is.
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 he would no longer have to live in a humble posture under the huge halo of the savior. As the time came to nine o'clock in the morning, the more than an hour-long breakfast time that started at 7:30 was finally over.
Students of all ages rushed to the largest classroom holding a heavy book and a large number of tools for making magic scrolls.
When they all sat down and looked expectantly at the podium, they discovered that the person standing on it was not Zuo Si himself, but the Defense Against Dark Arts professor who was hired just this year - Gilderoy. Lockhart.
I saw this man who always dressed himself up like a male peacock. He first showed a standard eight-tooth smile to all the students, then raised an orchid finger and said loudly: "Good morning, my lovely students." , and those fans who admire me.
Maybe you are very surprised why I am here.
In fact, I came to help at the invitation of Soth. .
Because the future star and genius in the magic world, Soss, has no previous coaching experience, so I specially asked me to give him some advice.
Even though many outsiders are concerned. In my eyes, the technology of making magic scrolls is both profound and difficult to understand, but it is completely easy for me.
Since I got the textbook, it only took me a few days to learn all the contents..."
As these words blurted out, the audience was in an uproar.
You must know that the magic scroll production 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 exploration
Even the most contemporary technology. The great wizard Dumbledore has publicly stated more than once that he has only learned a superficial knowledge, and it will take him two or three years to fully master it.
Harry, who is trying to learn by himself through books, is even more mature. Big Mouth asked the girl sitting next to him in an unbelievable tone: "Professor Lockhart must be joking, right? ”
"Sigh - I hope so too, but judging from his expression, he's not joking." Hermione held her forehead and showed an expression of pain that she couldn't bear to look at.
She now realized what the senior Gryffindors 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 excited and Gilderoy Lockhart could not control the situation, Zuo Si slowly walked in from the side door with steady steps as usual, using only one The look in his eyes made the noisy students quickly become quiet.
Among them, Slytherin House, who was the most provocative, fell in love with the silence spell in an instant. They closed their mouths and sat down obediently, with awe and fear in their eyes.
Master Malfoy even opened his notebook and pretended to study hard and make progress every day.
There is no doubt that Zuo Si's behavior of suppressing these students with different personalities and difficulties in managing them without saying a word and with just his aura immediately made Gilderoy Lockhart feel very envy and jealousy.
Because he understands that this kind of deterrence based on strong strength is something that a liar like him can never obtain.
However, in order to cover up the embarrassment of almost screwing up, he still smiled shamelessly and forcefully explained: "The students at Hogwarts are really overly enthusiastic, and they actually let out such a huge cheer. It seems that I You are always welcome wherever you go."
"Of course! After all, you are Gilderoy Lockhart, who has been voted the Most Charming Smile Award five times by "Wizard Weekly", Merlin. A recipient of the third-level Knight Order, an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts Alliance, and the author of a series of best-selling novels.”
Zuo Si said all the other party's most proud titles in one breath.
Under his deliberate compliment, Lockhart's vanity was instantly greatly satisfied, and he even felt a little elated. His whole face was filled with a proud expression, and he immediately reciprocated the compliment and said: "What I do This achievement and honor is still far from being comparable to your epoch-making invention."
"You are too humble, Professor. If you don't mind, let us start today's class immediately."< br>
Zuo Si obviously did not intend to waste too much time with the "experiment" in front of him, so he ended the nutritious nonsense in an instant.
He walked straight up to the podium, raised his wand and drew hundreds of completely different symbols in the air, and then asked directly: "Can any of you tell me what these symbols are?"
In less than a second, Hermione, who always liked answering questions in class, raised her hand first.
"Miss Granger, you answer." Zuo Sichong made a gesture of invitation to the girl.
“These are runes with special magical effects that you invented by studying ancient runes. Their function is to combine and arrange them so that the spell can be completely preserved inside the scroll or other items.”
Hermione told her everything she knew without reservation.
Of course, the "creation of inventions by studying ancient runes" is completely false. It is actually to give this rune system from Faerûn a reason to be accepted by other wizards.
"That's very well said, ten points for Gryffindor.
Before this class officially begins, I hope you remember that magic and spell storage are not just about learning spells in the broad sense, and then mobilizing the magic power in the body to wave the wand.
It is closer to a rigorous natural science. Whether it is the ordering and combination of runes, or the restoration of simplified spells through traceability. Having a stable spell structure is a great test of a person's logical thinking and memory.
If something goes wrong during this process, it will cause an accident at least, or cause you to lose your life. while killing others around him.
In order to give you a more intuitive understanding, let's ask our Professor Gilderoy Lockhart to give a demonstration. ”
As he spoke, Zuo Si’s eyes flashed with a joking and malicious light.
Lockhart had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem and thought it was a good way to show off. Given the opportunity, he quickly asked excitedly: "What should I do? "
Zuo Si pointed to the runes floating above his head and replied: "It's very simple. You only need to use your rich knowledge, experience and feeling to select four of these runes that you think are the most harmless and safe, and then engrave them on this prepared sheepskin. Then cast a simple spell on the parchment. ”
“No problem! This simple demonstration has no difficulty for me. ”
Lockhart confidently selected the four he thought were the best among hundreds of runes.
With the help of the prepared dragon blood ink, he completed the carving of the runes in less than five minutes, and finally raised his wand to cast a forgetting spell that he was best at.
After finishing all this, he couldn't wait to show his results to all the students present and brag about them.
Zuo Si did not stop all this, but after the other party was greatly satisfied, he calmly added: "Open it now!"
"Ah? What are you talking about? ?" Lockhart was stunned.
"Open it."
Zuo Si repeated his words.
And when he said these words, the students in the audience could clearly see him taking several steps back.
Lockhart seemed to realize that something was not quite right. After a moment of hesitation, Lockhart chose to open the scroll in his hand.
The moment the first rune was activated, a dazzling fire and magic spurted out from the scroll, directly burning his hair, face and clothes, even his robe. The intimate clothing underneath is no exception.
The only good thing is that these flames and energy were not very large. They all disappeared within two or three seconds after they appeared, leaving only a naked man with large black burn marks on his body.
“Ahhhhhh!!!!!!”
The girls present had never seen such an exciting scene before, and they immediately covered their eyes and collectively let out a piercing scream.
However, during the screaming process, there were still many bolder ones peeking through their fingers.
As for the boys, they laughed unceremoniously.
The "fun people" Weasley brothers also took out the magic camera from somewhere and kept clicking the shutter, trying to record this classic scene.
Zuo Si glanced at Gilderoy Lockhart, who 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 simply picked four wrong runes and added a seemingly harmless forgetting spell, which resulted in such consequences.< br>
The first rune he used represents fire and energy. Generally speaking, it is often used when storing spells related to fire.
Anytime this rune is added. Scrolls can often increase the destructiveness and power of spells.
If a wizard's magic is very powerful, then when he makes a similar magic scroll, he needs to use this rune repeatedly to ensure that the spells he casts can be fully recorded and stored.
So in the first lesson, what I want to warn you is to keep in mind the purpose and characteristics of each rune. In any case, do not easily try to combine two runes with completely opposite characteristics.
Otherwise...
Professor Lockhart's current situation is a lesson to others.
Finally, let us give Lockhart a warm applause and be grateful that he set a wrong example for everyone at the cost of his own injury. ”
moment!
The students present responded immediately, laughing wildly, cheering loudly, and applauding vigorously.
What does it mean to kill people and punish the heart?
This is it!
The most irritating thing is that Lockhart cannot be angry now. Instead, he has to pretend that everything has been discussed before, covering his vital parts and forcing out a smile and nodding to the audience. .
Just when he cautiously stepped back and wanted 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."< br>
"Please... please! Let me go! I admit that I want to use your fame to gain some popularity, but I have already been punished, haven't I?" Lockhart lowered his voice and begged. road.
Although he is a shameless liar, he is not a brainless fool.
If you haven’t seen that the other party is deliberately trying to mess with you, then you can end it quickly.
"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand? Anyway, don't worry, you promised me to at least cooperate with you to finish this class." As he said that, Zuo Si slightly increased the pressure on his hands. intensity.
With the terrifying strength attribute, Lockhart felt that the opponent's palms and fingers were like iron pliers, unable to move no matter how hard he tried to break free. He could only take a step back and continue to beg: "Then you should at least give me some clothes, right? "
But Zuo Si refused mercilessly: "It's not necessary. When have you ever seen a wizard dress the rats in the cage during magic experiments? "
As these words blurted out, Lockhart immediately felt that his identity as a liar must have been seen through by the terrifying young man in front of him.
Especially those deep black pupils, which made him unable to feel the slightest bit of temperature, just like the biting cold wind blowing from the North Pole.
Finally, Gilderoy Lockhart gave in.
Because he was afraid that Zuo Si might have evidence of his deception, and if he resisted, he might lose everything he had, including reputation, wealth, and respected social status.
For more than an hour, this man with a series of titles was played like a monkey in front of the whole school, while he kept smiling to show that it was all his fault. willingly.
When a senior student who had taken the Defense Against the Dark Arts class saw this scene, he immediately complained: "Damn! I am actually starting to sympathize with Gilderoy Lockhart a little now. Because in front of Soth , he is like a poor puppet or clown."
"It's definitely not voluntary!"
Another senior student next to him couldn't help but interrupt. He said something.
Compared with other colleges, Slytherin College, which has always been in the habit of worshiping the strong and powerful, gave Zuo Si the highest praise for this behavior.
The female prefect Gemma Farley even said to a follower without any secret: "Did you see it? I have told you more than once before that Soth is definitely a standard Slytherin. In In front of him, idiots like Gilderoy Lockhart are a complete joke."
"But he is not willing to accept our surrender and loyalty."
"No. You're wrong, it's not that he doesn't want to accept us, it's that he can't accept us. Don't forget, the mysterious man finally founded the famous Death Eater organization by developing his subordinates in the school. If he is also talented and is Slater. South, who was born in the Forestry College, did the same thing. What would Dumbledore think if you were the principal?”
You don’t need to ask, but after a year of thinking, Gemma Farley already understands? Understand the meaning of what Zuo Si said before.
moment!
Several senior students around him showed expressions of realization.
Similarly, they also felt sincere admiration for Zuo Si's wisdom.
Because most students in lower grades are unlikely to have such an overall view and keen judgment to understand human nature.
"Then what do you think we should do?" A man who is about to graduate asked in a low voice.
"As I told you before, continue to maintain the relationship with each other and build a network. When he needs us, he will naturally send a very clear signal."
After saying this , Gemma Farley no longer paid attention to the others, but looked at Zuo Si on the podium with admiring eyes.
As an ambitious Slytherin, she obviously has a very clear and specific plan for her life.
Whether it is power or a partner, you always want the best.
Thinking of this, Gemma Farley turned her attention to Hermione Granger, who had recently been rumored to have a lot of "affairs" with Zuo Si.
After carefully comparing the advantages and disadvantages of each other, she suddenly felt that she should find several opportunities to talk to Zuo Si.
After all, she is a very traditional British witch.
So traditional that she doesn’t mind being a lover like she did from the 16th to the 18th century, or allowing her husband to find several lovers outside...
Of course, for Slytherin, Zuo Si had no idea what female prefect Gemma Farley was thinking.
Even if I knew, I wouldn’t care too much.
Because under the reminder of the diary, he has realized that his character and actions are very easy to attract those so-called "bad women".
And compared to the "big surprise" brought by Isadora and the love from Talona, the goddess of poison and disease, he felt that nothing in this world could scare him.
As for Gemma Farley, she is just a small episode in campus life, and it is not worth wasting time and energy to pay attention to.
When this "vivid" and "unique" lesson ended, Lockhart immediately ran away like a mouse crossing the street.
While passing by the back corridor, he suddenly found a black diary placed alone on a chair, next to the teaching materials and tools Zuo Si used in class.
Out of revenge, the liar suddenly became angry and evil. When no one was paying attention, he grabbed the diary and ran back to his office.
As soon as he finished stealing things and escaped, the figure of Zuo Si appeared out of thin air next to the chair, and joked in a playful tone: "See what I said? To deal with a guy like Lockhart, There is no need for any complicated conspiracy. Just drop the hook and he will bite it. "
"Well, with Voldemort's IQ, I believe it won't take long. We can get this idiot under control. Then we will be able to observe how the Horcrux works and how it is reborn from scratch."
The diary is obviously of great interest to Lockhart. I was disappointed that I didn't see such an obvious trap.
Because it really can't figure out that this guy can't even see through this simple scam, and how can he deceive so many wizards?
Since the minds of the creation and the owner are connected, Zuo Si immediately felt the doubts in the diary and explained with a smile: "It's not that Lockhart is too stupid to see through such a simple trap, but that I gave him a huge trap just now." The humiliation caused him to hate me to the core but he was helpless and desperately wanted to find a channel to vent. Anger can make people lose their minds and the ability to analyze and think. So after deciding that the thing was mine, Lockhart subconsciously decided that it was mine. So he chose to steal it as revenge."
"So this is a set, and you arranged everything from the beginning?" The diary made a surprised sound.
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Yes. In fact, if Lockhart doesn't steal this time, I have also prepared the second, third, fourth and fifth steps. In short , as an experimental subject, he actually has no choice. It’s just a matter of falling into the trap sooner or later.”
