One Sneeze Destroys A Magical Civilization

Chapter 228 Demonstrating "Talent"

The first lesson in the morning at Gryffindor House was Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration, and the first lesson in Slytherin House was Professor Sprout's Herbs.

So after a brief chat, Zuo Si followed the freshmen of his college and went to the greenhouse with the Hufflepuff headmaster to observe and identify magical plants.

Although this kind of course is purely a waste of time for him, in order to play a good role as a gifted student, he still showed his vivid and terrifying memory to the fullest.

Whenever the professor asks any question, he will give a quick answer within one second.

The speed and precision of the answers made Professor Sprout, who is proficient in plants and herbs, brighten his eyes.

Because she had been teaching at Hogwarts for so many years, it was the first time she had seen such a smart student, so she unconsciously shared a lot of her unique knowledge and experience.

And encourage Zuo Si to study hard, and he will definitely become a great wizard who leads the times like Dumbledore in the future.

I have to say that compared with the extremely egotistical wizards in Faerun and the towers of Floating City, the professors at Hogwarts are really friendly and make people feel uncomfortable.

As long as the students are willing to learn, they will pass on almost everything they know, without any intention of keeping anything.

Through contact with Professor Sprout, Zuo Si finally understood why Voldemort was able to get along so well when he was a student.

Except for Dumbledore, who had already noticed something was wrong, all the other professors had a good impression of Tom Riddle and believed that he was an excellent kid who would make an amazing career in the wizarding world sooner or later.

As with almost any other school, any bright, studious, and high-achieving student gets some degree of "preference" at Hogwarts.

The professors will even impart some knowledge, spells and other professional skills beyond the textbook.

Therefore, many elites among the students already possessed strength comparable to or even surpassing that of adult wizards when they were in the fourth to sixth grades.

When they enter the magic world after graduation, they are all talents from all walks of life.

But Zuo Si didn't know that when he left the hall on the first floor, the Gryffindor students gathered to discuss the strange reaction of Slytherin College just now.

"Hey! Harry! Do you believe the nonsense that South said just now?" Ron was the first to question.

Because the Weasley family itself is also one of the pure-blood families, he knows very well what virtues the Malfoy family members have.

It is absolutely impossible for Della to show that kind of fearful expression and eyes. It is absolutely impossible to be as simple as a "small conflict".

"Uh——I think Malfoy's behavior is more like he has been threatened and intimidated in some way."

Harry Potter obviously had a lot of "experience" in this regard, so he guessed the truth right away.

After all, the "Savior" would never forget that when he was in elementary school in the Muggle world, Dudley would sternly threaten him every time he finished bullying him, warning him not to tell the teacher.

"Threats and intimidation? Are you sure! South is not only facing Malfoy, but also many senior Slytherin students." Ron opened his mouth in surprise.

Just when Harry was about to say something, the twin brothers Fred and George ran over from a distance without knowing when.

One of them said bluntly and excitedly: "Hey! Dude! Guess what big news we just found out?"

"What?" Ron asked subconsciously.

"After the opening ceremony last night, almost half of the people in Slytherin stood outside the common room and did not go in. After Professor Snape arrived, the closed entrance was opened. According to a person who happened to pass by Hufflepuff According to a third-year student at the academy, he heard crying, wailing, and the smell of something being burnt."

George pretended to be mysterious and told the news he had inquired about.

Fred on the side added: "Not only that! Didn't you notice that some of the senior students of Slytherin House have large red marks on their faces, hands and necks? According to the Potion Book According to the description, it is the mark left after applying the burn treatment ointment, and it will take about two or three days to disappear. This means that those Slytherin students, including Malfoy, must have been severely burned by the flames."

Hearing these words, Ron opened his mouth in shock, and asked in an unbelievable tone: "You mean... South, on the first day of school, turned over half of Slytherin house by himself? Even Including those seniors!"

"Hey! That's right! That would also explain why someone like Marcus Flint is evasive about it. Believe me, that bastard is not one to give in, wait until you see the Slytherin house Quidditch matches. It must have been pretty scary to scare him like that."

George made no secret of his schadenfreude when he said this.

Fred also grinned enviously and said, "This freshman is really cool, isn't he?"

"That's right! It's so cool!"

George put a hand on his younger brother Ron's shoulder, imitating Zuo Si's tone just now.

"Dear Della classmate. Do you have any opinions on me now? If you have any, please say it. It's okay. I'm a very kind person, so I won't retaliate against you because of it."

"Hahahaha! The key point of this sentence is the word revenge. I feel like poor Malfoy is about to pee his pants." Fred laughed unscrupulously.

As two typical "fun people", they are very well informed.

No matter what happens in Hogwarts, you can always find out something at the first time.

"According to what you say, isn't South very dangerous? He may be punished or even expelled for this matter at any time."

Hermione, who was looking down at a book, suddenly interrupted.

But George shook his head disapprovingly: "No. First of all, the Sous people are alone and must be the one being attacked, so everything he does can be interpreted as self-defense.

Secondly, the students of Slytherin House are currently keeping their mouths shut about this, and I guess it was Snape, who is the head of the house, who issued the order.

Otherwise, their points will be deducted in an instant, and they will not be able to compete for this year's Academy Cup.

Last but not least.

It is almost a well-known thing at Hogwarts that Professor Snape defends the shortcomings and favors the students of his own house.

That's why he wouldn't allow such a genius from the academy to be expelled.

To sum up, South is not only very safe, but also gets some special care.

Just watch, it won't be long before this freshman is in the spotlight. "

Undoubtedly, Hermione, who was born in a Muggle family in the true sense, was stunned by the twin brothers' remarks.

After all, this girl has always believed that schools and teachers should treat all students equally, at least on the surface.

But George and Fred ignored her and happily ran off to their first class after sharing some school anecdotes with their stupid brother and Harry.

After they walked away completely, Ron swallowed and exclaimed in a low voice: "Merlin's beard! Fucking half of Slytherin house as a freshman? This is simply too exaggerated! It seems that South The book I read on the train was not an act of pretending, but I actually learned the spells recorded in it."

"What book?" Harry was slightly taken aback.

"Of course it's "Standard Spells—Level Six"! This book is our sixth grade textbook, and there are many spells that even adult wizards can't learn and master. Don't you find it?" Ron explained excitedly.

"what?!"

Hermione stood up from her chair abruptly when she heard this, and asked with wide-eyed eyes, "Is what you said true?"

Ron nodded hastily: "I swear! Everything I said just now is absolutely true! On the train, South repaired Harry's glasses with the Repairing Charm, and it was even easier to use it while waiting for the sorting ceremony at the gate." Stunning spells on Malfoy and two of his minions. A lot of people have seen it with their own eyes. I bet he's the strongest of our class."

no doubt!

Ron's words instantly aroused Hermione's competitive spirit, and she immediately looked down at the timetable, and found that the closest class she took with Slytherin House was Potions, followed by flying.

The girl plans to compete with Zuo Si in these two classes to see who is the best among the freshmen.

I have to say that children's minds are so simple.

When it was almost nine o'clock, the first-year "little lions" of Gryffindor hurried to the Transfiguration classroom.

Since the transfiguration class is taught by Professor McGonagall, the head of the school, no one wants to be late.

It's a pity that they obviously underestimated the complexity of the various stairs and passages inside Hogwarts.

As a result, it didn't take long for me to be dizzy by the stairs that would automatically rotate and change directions.

All of a sudden, many freshmen were sweating profusely.

Not only bumping around like a headless chicken, but also trying to ask those living portraits and sculptures.

In short, the Eight Immortals cross the sea and each show their magical powers.

Compared with the panic of other freshmen, Zuo Si always remained elegant and calm, without the slightest worry of getting lost.

Because during the night tour last night, he had already figured out the law of changing directions of all the passages and stairs in Hogwarts, and he seemed to be able to do anything with ease.

Since the courses in the first grade are relatively few and loose, after a herbal medicine class, Zuo Si came to the library openly and began to read books one by one along the bookshelves that were not in the restricted area.

Excluding noon, I took the time to go back to the dormitory and eat a hero feast, and I didn't leave the library for almost a whole day.

When it was close to three o'clock in the afternoon, he reluctantly put the books back on the bookshelf, and went straight to the transformation class classroom.

I don't know if it's because of the tight schedule to come to class, or because of the "feat" last night, anyway, Professor McGonagall's eyes seem a little strange.

After briefly explaining the principle of transformation magic and giving all the freshmen a warning, they distributed a match to each student and asked them to try to turn the match into a needle.

Obviously, this is undoubtedly very difficult for freshmen who don't even know what magic is.

Even a young wizard from a pure-blood family like Master Malfoy can't do anything about it, and can only wave his wand over and over in vain.

In contrast, Zuo Si just held the matches in his hand and did nothing.

"Sous, what are you doing? Why don't you try like other students?" Professor McGonagall asked very puzzled.

"Professor, you just told us to turn the match into a needle, but you didn't say what kind of needle you want to turn it into. Is it iron? Wood? Steel? Silver? Brass? Or some other material?"

Zuo Si deliberately pretended to show a different brain circuit.

After all, the character he wants to create is a "genius" who is a little different from normal people, so it must be different in all aspects.

Professor McGonagall responded speechlessly: "Any material is fine, as long as it is a needle."

Zuo Si immediately nodded thoughtfully: "I see! Well, I think I understand."

After finishing speaking, he raised the magic wand that he personally modified, and pointed at the match in question.

moment!

A dazzling red light shot out from the front end, hitting the front end of the match with precision.

Before other people around could realize what had happened, the whole match turned into a very weird-looking needle.

Among them, the white eyes at the front are undoubtedly made of sterling silver, while the slightly darker half of the back is steel, and the bottom is golden brass, and the last is a small black knotted ebony.

If the difficulty of turning a match into a needle is the introduction to transformation magic, then turning a match into a needle with each section made of different materials is definitely something that can only be achieved by advanced transformation magic, and it is even enough to compare dead objects. The difficulty of becoming a living creature is comparable.

Most importantly, no wizard had ever had such an idea before.

The entire classroom fell into silence as the needle transformed successfully.

Master Malfoy's eyes widened in surprise, as if he couldn't believe what he saw.

Because from last night to now, Zuo Si's performance has completely overturned the cognition and education he had received since childhood that the talent of pure-blood wizards is much higher than that of half-blood and Muggle-born wizards.

If a Muggle-born wizard can do better and better than a pure-blood wizard, then where is the superiority of pure-blood?

Why do you look down on each other?

In fact, not only Dellaco Malfoy, but also many smart enough freshmen from pure-blood families realized this, with fear and bewilderment revealed in their eyes.

After all, for a wizard, magic is always the most intuitive and powerful thing.

It must have been difficult for Voldemort when he first entered Slytherin as a half-blood.

But this quickly changed as he displayed intelligence and magical talent far beyond his peers.

Otherwise, just bragging that he is the direct blood of Salazar Slytherin would not be able to gain the recognition and followers of so many people.

"Awesome transformation! Ten points for Slytheringa! Looks like you haven't learned anything new in first year Transfiguration."

After a brief silence, Professor McGonagall couldn't help sighing slightly.

Although she heard some rumors about a "genius" that Hogwarts welcomed this year last night, she even witnessed Zuo Si use the sleeping spell to bring down three freshmen including Malfoy.

But today's transformation class really realized its terrifying learning and understanding ability.

After all, among the many magic disciplines, apart from prophecy, the most innate talent is undoubtedly deformation.

In contrast, other subjects such as spells, herbs, potions, defense against the dark arts, flying, etc., as long as they spend time and practice repeatedly, they can always master seven or eight.

But Transfiguration is different.

This is why "Annie Magus" is so rare.

"You mean I won't use it for class in the future?"

Zuo Si casually changed the needle back to a match and asked in an uncertain tone.

Professor McGonagall hurriedly shook his head: "No! What I mean is, you can consider attending the transfiguration class in the fourth grade or even the fifth grade when you have no other classes."

"Forget it. Compared with listening to lectures, I prefer to learn directly from books by myself, which is much faster."

Zuo Si refused the other party's offer without hesitation.

After all, he is not really ignorant of magic, nor is he a child whose reading and comprehension skills have yet to grow. He needs a teacher to answer the questions and doubts he encounters during the learning process.

With the two cheating methods of the Eye of Knowledge and the Thinking Library, coupled with an intelligence level of up to 26 points, and the theoretical knowledge accumulated in the previous two worlds, it is not difficult at all to learn the greatly simplified spells in this world.

yes!

By reading the older books in the Restricted Section, Zuo Si discovered that wizards did not actually use wands in the earliest times.

Around 800 BC, the first magic wand was invented.

What followed was a revolution in magic and spell simplification that continues to this day.

Just as Faerun's Weave lowered the barrier to becoming a mage, the wand lowered the barrier to becoming a wizard.

Prior to this, wandless casting was a must-have skill for all wizards.

Before the introduction of wands to North America and Africa, wizards there never relied on wands.

But until now, this skill has gradually become the exclusive symbol of powerful wizards.

Especially for European wizards who have relied on wands for a long time, few people are willing to waste a lot of time and energy learning complex and difficult wandless casting skills.

Spells have also changed from tedious and complicated magical rituals to simple spells that can be released by simply waving a wand.

Of course, the price is that the wand has become an indispensable and important weapon and life tool in the hands of every wizard.

If there is no wand, it is like losing his spellbook in Faerun, and the result will naturally become a lamb at the slaughter.

"Well, I respect your choice. But transformation magic is more dangerous than other magic. I hope you at least notify me when you make a dangerous attempt, and I will be there to ensure that no accidents happen."

Professor McGonagall was not angry that Zuo Si rejected his proposal.

Because if one can master the Transfiguration Mantra to this level only by relying on the contents recorded in the books, then naturally one can reach a higher level through self-study.

The only thing she is worried about is Zuo Si's age and personality, for fear that she will try dangerous magic like Annie Magus prematurely, which will lead to a terrible tragedy.

"No problem, I'll take care."

Zuo Si agreed straightforwardly, and followed the whole class in a daze of boredom, but in fact, she was sorting out the books and knowledge recorded in her mind, and completely transformed them into her own unique understanding.

After class, he immediately picked up the book and went straight to the library without stopping at all.

Professor McGonagall went straight to the principal's office, and said to Dumbledore who was stealing candy, "Albus! Today I finally saw how amazing that freshman named South is in terms of magical talent."

"Oh? What did he do again?" Dumbledore raised his head and asked with great interest.

"During the first Transfiguration class, he turned a match into a needle made of four materials: silver, steel, brass, and ebony. You have also taught Transfiguration, and you should know that this is useful for a student. How difficult is it?"

When saying this, Professor McGonagall rarely showed a hint of excitement.

Dumbledore put a piece of honey candy into his mouth, tasted the sweet taste with his tongue, and nodded slightly after more than ten seconds: "Of course. Transforming one material into other forms of multiple materials, although still Not a creature, but its difficulty is not much different from becoming a living thing. Are you sure this is really a Muggle-born, who has never been exposed to any magic before, and is also not taught by anyone, just relying on books in a Is it the height that can be achieved by self-study within a month?"

"Yes, I'm very sure. According to the information provided by Severus, South's parents are ordinary policemen, which are equivalent to Aurors in the Muggle world. Later, he died in the line of duty while performing a mission, so he became An orphan, cared for by a friend and colleague of his parents as a guardian. So he has no access to magic, nor can he be taught."

Professor McGonagall was very sure of giving his own opinion.

After all, Zuo Si has done a very fine job of forging identities.

Not only did they choose an Asian mother when choosing their parents, but they also falsified all the details from kindergarten to elementary school, and even used magic to slightly modify the memories of hundreds of people.

To make sure that when someone looked into it, they would come up with something funny that the fictional character "Soth" did as a kid.

"Interesting! It seems that I have to find time to talk to this young man. You must know that even that person did not show such talent when he first entered school." Dumbledore touched the thick white hair on his chin Beard muttered to himself.

"You think he'll be the second..."

Professor McGonagall suddenly became nervous and wanted to say the name that made the entire British wizarding world fearful several times, but held back at the last moment.

Dumbledore shook his head with a smile: "No, of course not. The reason why Tom became like that is closely related to his unfortunate and distorted childhood.

I just wanted to make sure that South was really Muggle-born, or a descendant of some unknown wizard.

Don't forget, when the entire British wizarding world was shrouded in darkness more than ten years ago, many wizards chose to hide their names incognito, or simply integrated into the Muggle society.

And I don't know why, when I see him, there is always an inexplicable sense of intimacy. "

"Proximity? You mean he might be the offspring of an acquaintance?" Professor McGonagall tentatively asked in an uncertain tone.

"I don't know. That's why I want to make sure."

Dumbledore's eyes shone with wisdom accumulated and precipitated over a long period of time.

Obviously, he didn't express the truest thoughts in his heart.

However, Professor McGonagall was obviously used to this old friend's practice of hiding everything, so he didn't continue to explore, but turned and left the principal's office.

...

On the other side, Zuo Si in the library on the first floor didn't know that he had entered Dumbledore's observation range, and was still reading books related to magic and spells with relish.

In just a few hours, he cleared out six bookshelves with hundreds of books.

Most of them are roughly read and memorized through the touch of scholars, and only when encountering those parts of interest will they be read and understood word for word.

When the library was announced to be closed and started to chase people away, Zuo Si was surprised to find that Hermione was sitting on the opposite table staring at herself with a puffy face.

Out of curiosity, he immediately asked, "What's the matter?"

"Were you really reading just now?" Hermione asked back through gritted teeth.

"Of course. If I'm not reading, what am I going to do in the library?"

As Zuo Si replied, she put the book in her hand back on the shelf, then picked up the textbook and prepared to go back to the dormitory for something to eat, and then come back at midnight to continue the night tour in the restricted area.

"But you just picked up a book and flipped through it roughly, and it took less than three to five minutes in total. Can this also be called reading?"

Hermione finally couldn't hold back and said why she was angry.

She originally planned to compete to see who had read more books in the same amount of time.

But what happened?

Zuo Si cleaned up the six bookshelves in a few hours, and basically put them back after opening, which made the girl's mentality explode, and she couldn't calm down and read carefully as usual.

"Isn't the purpose of reading a book just to remember and understand the contents? As long as I can do this, it doesn't matter what method I use, does it?" Zuo Si spread her hands with a smile.

But Hermione, who is more serious, didn't intend to just let him go, and immediately questioned: "You really remember? You happened to have read the book in my hand. Why don't you let me test you? "

Zuo Si nodded without hesitation: "No problem. In fact, it doesn't need to be too much trouble. You just need to tell the page number, and I can memorize the whole page from beginning to end."

"Are you sure? You only read this book for less than three minutes."

Hermione's eyes widened subconsciously, and she didn't understand where the guy in front of her had such confidence.

You must know that this is a book describing the theory of magic and incantations. It took her an hour to barely read the first forty pages.

"Don't talk nonsense, let's start quickly. You know it's getting late now." Zuo Si urged casually.

"Page seventeen!"

"The length of the spell is directly proportional to the development of the wand. In ancient times, the craftsmanship of the wand was poor, so a relatively long spell was needed to ensure the effect of the magic. But with the advancement of the wand making technology, wizards began to simplify the spell. Until it developed into what it is now..."

"Sixty-three pages!"

"Time, month, weather, and even tidal changes all have an impact on magical power. By adjusting the optimal casting time, spells can often produce more amazing power than usual..."

"Two hundred and thirty pages!"

"Wandless spellcasting can only be mastered by powerful wizards who know enough about spells and who have the freedom to control the magical energy. They use slight movements of fingers, arms and shoulders instead of waving wands to cast those spells they are best at. The key to casting without a wand is concentration and concentration..."

Accompanied by the exact recitations one after another, Hermione's little face finally changed from anger at the beginning to shock, and finally to fear and despair.

She finally realized that the guy in front of her had really finished reading a book on magic and spell theory that she might need a few days or even half a month to read thoroughly in that casual way.

Since she grew up in an ordinary family, the girl can occasionally see many stories of gifted children on TV, newspapers, and books.

So knowing that there are such a handful of monsters and perverts in this world, they can easily learn and understand those extremely complicated knowledge, and can easily read a book quickly within a few minutes.

But what she never expected was that this kind of thing would happen after she entered the magic world.

Feeling the strong sense of frustration welling up in her heart, as well as emotions such as weakness, helplessness, and depression, Hermione's eye circles turned red quickly, followed by unstoppable tears streaming down her face.

"?????!!!!"

Numerous question marks and exclamation marks instantly popped up on Zuo Si's head.

I don't understand why the other party is still crying, as if he bullied a little girl.

The two remained in a stalemate for several minutes, until the librarian, Mrs. Pince, found out, and quickly walked over to stare at Zuo Si with examining eyes: "What happened?"

"I don't know too well." Zuo Si shrugged innocently.

The conscience of heaven and earth!

Although he knew that he was not a good person, he would not degenerate enough to bully an eleven or twelve-year-old girl.

"I have no problem with you."

Mrs. Pince obviously had some preconceived ideas, subconsciously thinking that it was the boy who made the girl cry.

This feeling of being wronged made Zuo Si very speechless, but she resolutely shut her mouth and stopped talking.

fortunately!

Hermione quickly stopped crying, wiped the tears from her face and managed to force a smile to explain: "It has nothing to do with him, it's my own problem. I'm sorry to trouble you."

"real?"

A hint of suspicion flashed in Mrs. Pince's eyes.

"Of course it's true. It's just a little bit of a blow to my pride, nothing."

After that, Hermione bent down and bowed, then quickly put the book in her hand back on the shelf.

In this way, under Pince's gaze, the two walked out of the library side by side and walked among the intricate corridors and stairs.

When she was about to reach the intersection between the Gryffindor and Slytherin common rooms, Hermione, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked, "Study must be easy for you, right?"

"Easy? What made you have such an illusion?" Zuo Si subconsciously raised his eyebrows.

"Because you have a photographic memory, it only takes a few minutes to finish reading a book that others can finish reading in a few days or even a month."

Hermione gave a reason without thinking.

Obviously, in her eyes, the gap between herself and the other party is this powerful talent that makes people feel enviable and jealous.

Zuo Si, who realized what was going on in the girl's mind, couldn't help but sighed slightly, and took the initiative to explain: "Memory does not mean understanding. Especially for extremely abstract things like magic and spells, the benefits of rote memorization are far less than There are so many in your imagination. Let me give you the simplest example. You should know the restoration spell, right?"

Hermione nodded hastily: "This is one of the few spells I have learned at home. It can repair almost all non-technical things in an instant."

"Then do you know what its principle is? Where is the limit of what it can do?" Zuo Si continued to lead the topic.

"Uh...don't know."

A look of bewilderment appeared on Hermione's face.

Because these contents are not recorded in the school textbooks at all.

"The Restoration Charm was born in 1754 by Olabella Nutley, a former staff member of the Office for the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic at the British Ministry of Magic.

In fact, it can be used to repair anything in theory, including technological items that you think are irreparable, or complex magical items such as wands, or even wounds on biological bodies.

Of course, the premise is that you must know enough about these things and understand their manufacturing process and operating principles.

The reason why wizards think that technology products cannot be repaired is because they don't know anything about technology products.

Take a TV as an example, whether it is the picture tube, circuit board, fluorescent screen, or the signal receiving and converting device inside, all wizards cannot understand.

Not to mention wizards, even most ordinary people probably only have a half-knowledge about it.

Just imagine, your parents are Muggles, do they know how televisions are produced?

Do you know what are the industrial raw materials that make up the picture tube?

What steps are needed?

What is the wavelength of electromagnetic waves used by television signals?

How did you convert it into a picture?

Because you don't understand, your healing spells on tech products fail.

The same goes for repairing those powerful magic items.

Moreover, a lot of mana is consumed in the repair process, so unless it is a very powerful wizard, the effect is often minimal.

As for the restoration of living bodies, it is more complicated.

Because it involves a series of complex biological systems such as cells, genes, and nervous system.

But if you can understand both science and magic, even the most mundane spells can often be unimaginably powerful.

After all, it is always easier to destroy than to repair.

Just imagine, when you understand all of these, can you reverse the repairing spell into a destroying spell?

For example, a spell directly shatters the opponent's wand, or breaks the opponent's wrist and fingers instantly.

Finally, let me tell you a piece of information for free.

The first half of the content I just mentioned, that is, the process and principle of the invention and creation of the restoration spell, is recorded in an ancient book called "The Book of Spells".

Its author is Miranda Goshawk.

It is currently placed in the third row from top to bottom on the second bookshelf on the right side near the door.

This book not only contains many advanced spells, but also the inventor's experience and the principles of the corresponding spells.

If it was Harry and Ron, I certainly wouldn't recommend them to read it.

but you……

Dear Miss Hermione Granger.

You should be talented and capable enough to learn the material in this book.

Remember, at Hogwarts, doing the professors' classes is only the basics of the basics.

If you want to become an outstanding or powerful wizard, then the library is definitely one of the best places to go. "

After saying this, Zuo Si smiled and nodded, then turned and disappeared at the end of the steps leading to the Slytherin common room under the castle.

As for Hermione, she was stunned for a long time, and finally came back to her senses. She suddenly felt her heart beating faster and her face was hot. She hurried to the bathroom next to her to wash her face, and took several deep breaths in one breath.

After calming down completely, he returned to the Gryffindor common room with his schoolbag.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Harry and Ron worrying about the homework assigned in Transfiguration class, trying to find a copy from other students as a "reference".

Of course, it is said to be a reference, but it is actually copied.

But unfortunately, after asking around, not even one person finished the homework.

Soon, the two of them were dejected and gave up the idea of ​​doing homework.

After all, today is Monday, and the next Transfiguration class will not be until Thursday afternoon, and there are still several days left.

For most children of this age, such things as homework can basically be delayed for a day, and they will never take the initiative to write until the last moment.

"Hey! Hermione! This way! We noticed that you didn't go to the lobby on the first floor for dinner today, so we specially brought you some pies." Harry shouted very enthusiastically.

Because the Gryffindor common room is always very noisy, you have to speak loudly to hear it.

"thanks!"

The girl happened to be a little hungry too, she thanked very politely, sat down and picked one up and stuffed it into her mouth.

Even though it was a bit cold, the smell of flour and minced meat made her feel very delicious.

Before I knew it, I filled a whole pie into my stomach.

At this moment, Ron, who had a very low EQ, suddenly asked, "Where did you go after the afternoon class? You didn't even come for dinner?"

"library!"

Hermione gave a straightforward answer.

"Library? Go to that kind of place on the first day of school?"

"Student" Ron showed a look of shock and disbelief.

Hermione rolled her eyes angrily: "Don't imagine that everyone is like you. At least South is like me, and they rushed to the library as soon as possible after class. Do you know? Today I Discovered one of his little secrets."

"Oh? What a secret!" Harry sat up curiously.

"This guy has a super memory. With such a thick book, he can memorize it and recite it in just a few minutes." Hermione lowered her voice and said what she saw with her own eyes. .

"What?! You must be joking, aren't you?" Ron was obviously not convinced.

Hermione shook her head seriously: "No, it's not a joke, but I personally did a test with a book he just finished reading in a few minutes. That guy's brain is like a monster! I suspect he has I have learned almost all the standard spells, and many advanced spells."

"So, South is one of those super geniuses that are occasionally reported on TV and newspapers?" Harry showed a look of sudden realization.

After all, he has also lived in a Muggle family for so many years, and he knows that there is a small probability in this world that one or two monsters with intelligence development far exceeding their peers will be born.

After all, there are huge differences between people. Since there are pig-like idiots like Dudley, there should naturally be geniuses far smarter than himself.

For this kind of thing, Harry is quite appreciative.

"That's right! So we have to work harder to make up for this gap in talent."

After all, Hermione took out the textbooks and notes from her schoolbag, planning to review today's lesson carefully before the curfew time.

But Ron and Harry looked at each other, got up quietly and returned to the boys' dormitory.

They don't want to waste their good time on boring studies...
