One Sneeze Destroys A Magical Civilization

Chapter 290 Time Magic

Undoubtedly, the condition of Lily Evans after her resurrection gave Zuo Si a glimpse of the iceberg after the death of this world.

Because before that, he had always been curious about the god of death mentioned in "The Tales of Beedle the Poet".

If there really is a god of death in this world, no matter good or evil, normally no one or soul should be allowed to break the balance between life and death.

This is as if Faerun, whether it is the evil Death God Jaeger in ancient times, or the equally evil successor Melkor, or within a few years will tear off the death priesthood from Cyric and become the first lawful neutral camp Death God Kelemvor, all extremely loathed and rejected those guys who escaped death through various methods.

Because the existence of these people challenged the authority of Death.

When Jaeger was the god of death in Netheril, he would often go to arcanists who were about to run out of life and wanted to use the life extension potion, and then made some so-called "accidents" so that the other party could not drink the potion, and eventually died suddenly in my own room.

Melkor is a little better, he simply likes to create fear to gain the awe of mortals, and let them know that they are always waiting for their arrival at the moment of death.

He even allows those undead creatures who believe in him to continue to exist, but if they don't believe in themselves, they will be destroyed without mercy.

As for the next generation of Death Kelanvor, he is also committed to fighting the undead creatures and liches wandering in the mortal world.

So if there is really a god of death in this world, then the ghosts wandering around Hogwarts, as well as the dark wizards who use Horcruxes to achieve immortality, should feel terrified now.

Coupled with the amnesia that appeared after Lily Evans came back from the dead, Zuo Si became more and more convinced that there were no gods in this world, and the world where the soul went to after death was also in chaos.

As for the god of death mentioned in the story, the truth should be closer to a certain powerful wizard back then.

With this in mind, Zuo Si quickly found Aberforth and Ariana who had just been resurrected in the cemetery in Godric's Hollow.

Exactly as he had expected, this girl who looked 14 years old and somewhat thin, her soul had completely degenerated back to the state of a newborn baby, she couldn't even speak and communicate, she just danced around and let out a burst of "babbling!" Babbling" raving.

As for Aberforth, he has fallen into a complete panic at this moment. He put a blanket on his younger sister and kept talking about what happened that year, trying to wake him up from this weird state.

But unfortunately, for Arianna, who only has a baby-like cognitive level, she couldn't understand what her big brother was saying, but was frightened by the other's excited face and cried loudly.

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Zuo Si grabbed Aberforth who was trying to show the family photo album to the girl, and stopped him in a slightly helpless tone: "Enough! Stop it! Don't you Find out, does she have the intelligence and cognition of a baby?"

"Baby...baby?!"

Aberforth subconsciously stopped all movements, looked at his sister's blue eyes, and found that there was only a baby-like innocence inside, but there was no sign of wisdom, and immediately couldn't help asking: "How could this be? Ali Anna was fourteen when she died! Not four months!"

Zuo Si patiently explained: "This is about the world after death.

Actually it's not you who have this problem, Professor Snape has the same problem.

The revived Lily Evans also suffered from very severe amnesia, but it was far less severe than your sister. At least her language skills and thinking logic were fairly clear.

If I'm not mistaken, this is due to the number of years after death.

The longer it takes to die, the more things are forgotten.

Lily Evans had only been dead for a little over a decade, so her amnesia wasn't severe enough to underpin her character and her learning.

But Arianna has been dead for almost a hundred years, and it is quite good to successfully recall her original soul.

Now she is almost quite formatted.

Oh, by the way, I almost forgot that you wizards don't understand computers and storage, let alone what formatting is.

To put it simply, your sister's soul and memory have been completely deleted, and now it is like a pure and flawless piece of white paper.

In a way this isn't a bad thing.

At least she will completely forget the terrible things that happened in her childhood, grow up like a normal child through learning, observation and imitation, and eventually become a sunny and healthy girl.

Of course, considering that her body and brain have already developed to the age of fourteen, this process will be very fast, and it will take a year or two at most.

During this period, I'm afraid you have to prepare to be a baby daddy. "

"You mean...to take care of her like a baby?" Aberforth was startled for a moment.

Because although he had taken care of his younger sister for a while, he had absolutely zero experience in taking care of babies!

Especially for a giant fourteen-year-old baby, at least a woman must be hired to take care of it, otherwise it will be very embarrassing to help it bathe and go to the toilet.

But the problem is that I can't ask someone to help take care of it.

Because Aberforth had exposed his identity in front of many people in the Pig's Head Bar before, so there must be many people staring at him now.

At that time, if a fourteen-year-old girl suddenly appeared in the family, everyone would become suspicious.

Especially the incomparably keen and intelligent big brother, who would guess the truth almost immediately, kill him to find his own theory, and even take Ariana away.

Zuo Si noticed the tension and anxiety of the old man in front of him, and comforted him, "Don't worry, it's not a big trouble. I can lend you a house elf, but I'm afraid you have to prepare the house yourself. You have been incognito for so many years, you should have some savings enough to buy a house, right?"

"Of course! I can still get hundreds of thousands of Galleons." Aberforth nodded hastily.

Like Snape, ever since seeing his loved one who had been thinking about it day and night come back to life, not only was his mind muddled under the control of his emotions, but his IQ also plummeted.

"Then go to Gringotts to exchange some money from the Muggle world, and then control a Muggle at will, let him use the money to buy a house in his own name, and then cast the Oblivion Curse on it. In this way, You can quietly bypass the attention of the entire wizarding world and place Ariana there to raise her until she grows up and has the ability to live alone. You can visit every few days, but not too often. "

Zuo Si gave a full set of advice straight to the point.

Considering Arianna's sensitive identity, it is definitely not acceptable to be raised in the English magic circle with a narrow social circle.

Because anyone who sees her iconic deep blue eyes and facial features very similar to the two Dumbledore brothers will easily think of the headmaster of Hogwarts.

On the contrary, in the Muggle world, because of the secrecy law, few wizards pay attention.

In addition, London was originally an international metropolis with a very large resident population, and the possibility of being discovered was very small.

It's as if the best way to hide a drop of water is to throw it into the ocean.

In this way, accompanied by Zuo Si, it took Aberforth two days to buy a house in a relatively remote community.

The house-elf, Carlvey, is summoned to take care of Ariana.

After arranging everything, he returned to his residence and began to try to study the "Time Reversal Spell".

Because I have read the research records of the Department of Mysteries and a lot of related precautions.

So Zuo Si did not rashly use the spell directly, but first tried to trace its source, that is, to obtain a stable spell structure.

Then use this spell structure to make a magic item similar to the Time Converter for a lot of experiments.

For example, put a few birds and snakes bought with a lot of money in it, and then activate the magic items to observe their state after the time reversal is over.

As a result of the first attempt, all four birds and snakes degenerated into silver eggs under the influence of time magic.

"Unbelievable! It turns out that this magic does not affect the surrounding environment, but one or several specific individuals. But if it is improved, it can be turned into an attack spell, making its age reverse or increase." Zuo Si touched his chin and revealed Excited expression.

There is no doubt that time magic is the most complicated and magical magic he has come into contact with so far.

However, when the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic was conducting research, it strictly prohibited all parts of traveling and spying on the future.

That's why the time-turner can only go back in time and not travel through the future.

After all, what happened in the past is known, even if you travel through the past, you can artificially avoid too much impact on the timeline.

But the future is completely unknown, and any small move may cause a chain reaction.

Therefore, prohibiting spying on the future is definitely a very wise choice.

If Zuo Si guessed correctly, the witch whose body ages like five centuries after being trapped for five days should be caused by the influence of the time reversal spell herself, rather than her real timeline in the past five centuries passed.

Even if it is a long-lived wizard, it is impossible to live for five hundred years without the help of the life-prolonging potion refined from the Philosopher's Stone.

In the next few days, he fell into a crazy obsession with time magic, constantly experimenting with magic props and birds and snakes.

In the end, the four juvenile bird snakes, which were originally only the size of a palm, all turned into behemoths with a body length of more than seven meters.

Obviously, this is the result of time magic acting on them.

Zuo Si directly made it into a summoned creature card, ending the first phase of research on the "Time Reversal Spell".

Through a lot of experiments and observations, plus the understanding from Faerun's unique magic system, he has almost mastered the skill of letting time act on a certain target for a short time.

Although the duration cannot exceed one minute, and this method cannot be used to directly cause a creature to age and die or degenerate back to the state before birth, at most it will become an old man or a child who is a few years old.

But even so can instantly gain a huge advantage in a close battle.

In addition, if this spell is used on the older and stronger summoned creatures such as giant dragons, it can also make them instantly change from adulthood to old age, from old age to ancient dragons or even ancient ages.

The only downside is that it consumes too much.

If the spell is released using the spellcasting method of this world, it will drain almost half of the magic power of the LV17 wizard profession.

Transforming into Faerun's spellcasting method requires a minimum of a nine-ring spell slot.

fortunately!

Zuo Si's real power comes from the planeswalker, so he combined the two spellcasting methods to create the magic card of "Reverse Millennium".

When the spell card is in effect, the age of the target creature will be up to 1,000 years instantaneously or reversed by 1,000 years according to the caster's choice, but the maximum limit will not exceed the age and lifespan of the creature.

In other words, if it is a dragon that has lived for more than a thousand years, he can naturally become two thousand years old, or dozens of years old, or even one or two hundred years old under the influence of this spell.

But if it is replaced by a relatively short-lived person, it will fluctuate within a few decades at most.

In short, after testing, Zuo Si is quite satisfied with the power and effect of this magic card.

With the invention of the spell [Reverse Millennium] and made it into a card, the number of card draws immediately increased by one, and the accumulated unused ones reached ten times.

Without any hesitation, he directly chose to draw on the spot.

In the blink of an eye, ten cards with different lusters appeared in the palm of the hand out of thin air.

The most notable of these is undoubtedly Earthshaker from the plane of Zendikar.

Like [Plate Armor Crusher] and [Olan Lido-headed Dragon], this is also a super-giant creature, and its size can easily reach the size of a football field when it grows up.

In addition to having a nose like an elephant and more than one pair of strong ivory, its appearance is closer to that of a dinosaur such as Triceratops. The bone wrap is like a huge crown, and there are even sharp horns on the top.

Once this terrifying behemoth starts to charge, violent vibrations will be felt within dozens of kilometers around, hence the name "Earth Shaker". Almost no city walls or fortifications can withstand its impact.

And like [Oulan Lido-headed Dragon], [Earth Shaker] can also grow infinitely according to the number of green land cards.

It's just that it doesn't have any special abilities, it only continuously adds physical attack power, defense power, body size and vitality, which belongs to the ultimate melee unit.

The appearance of [Earthshaker] made Zuo Si once again have a strong desire to see the plane of Zendikar.

Because that place was simply a planeswalker's paradise, whether it was the magical energy that was so abundant that it was about to overflow, or the super-giant creatures and elements evolved in a high-magic environment, he couldn't help but drool.

You must know that [Olan Rido-headed Dragon], [Earth Shaker] and [Plate Armor Crusher] can only be regarded as "little guys" in Zendikar.

The really huge islands with the characteristics of the earth element come alive, and the super water element, fire element, and wind element that cover the sky and even cover tens of kilometers in radius are a little bit of a card.

But thinking of the three Eldrazi titans sealed inside, Zuo Si immediately suppressed the impulse and longing.

No way, the time has not come, it is still too weak...

He told himself so in his heart.

Of course, in addition to [Earth Shaker], Zuo Si also drew a [Splitting Corpse Embedded Beast].

After this thing is summoned, it is a giant tentacle monster that looks very disgusting, but it can obtain part of the opponent's ability by killing the target and devouring the spliced ​​corpse.

For example, if it devours and controls a red dragon, it may gain the ability to breathe fire. If it kills a green dragon, it may be acid mist or poisonous.

Anyway, the more corpses devoured, the stronger its combat effectiveness.

But what really interested Zuo Si was the small print on the last line of the card description, which was customized by Necromancer Lu Dewei according to customer requirements.

Because the name reminded him of another time and space full of gothic horror style - Yinistrad.

Unlike Zendikar, which is full of magic, Inistrad is a relatively barren world filled with black negative energy.

If all dead people are not handled properly, there is a high probability that they will automatically transform into undead creatures.

Werewolves and vampires are the most distinctive creatures in the area.

As for human beings, they can only barely resist the invasion of these dark monsters with the help of angels.

One of the ancient planeswalkers who sealed the three Eldrazi titans on Zendikar, the vampire Sorin Markov, was born on Innistrad.

Necromancer Ludwig is the most outstanding necromancer alchemist and expert in making corpse-embedded creatures in this time and space.

"Is Inistrad after Zendikar? It seems that the owner of the legacy has been to many places." Zuo Si muttered to himself, staring at the cards in his hand.

Putting away two highly recognizable summoned creature cards, he quickly scanned the remaining magic cards, and found that most of them were necromancer magic, blood magic, and curse magic related to the time and space of Innistrad.

Among them, the users of necromantic magic are basically necromancers and splicers like Ludwig, and another kind of necromancer called ghoul shepherd.

The former is to obtain new undead creatures by dismembering and reorganizing corpses, while the latter is simple and crude infinite resurrection and control of corpses.

If the number and strength of Faerun's necromancers controlling undead creatures is directly linked to their own spellcasting level, then the characteristic of Inistrad ghoul shepherds is that there is no upper limit for controlling undead.

As long as there are enough corpses and magic power, they can pull up all the human and animal corpses buried in the entire cemetery overnight as cannon fodder.

In order to prevent this from happening, the humans of Innistrad even used iron cages to completely crucify the coffins buried in the ground.

As for blood magic, it is what vampires are best at.

By controlling blood and sucking blood, these magics can not only be used to carry out mass killings, but also strengthen themselves.

Since Zuo Si just happens to turn Vampire Queen Buddy into a summoned creature under his control, these spells still come in handy a little bit.

In contrast, the curse magic used by the werewolves is far worse, and it is estimated that it can only be used for research and reference, and then made into potions or taught to the little werewolves in the mage tower in other ways, so as to strengthen them slightly. Fighting power at night.

Just when Zuo Si threw ten cards into the deck, North the house elf hurried in from outside with a copy of "Daily Prophet" and dozens of letters.

"Master, the Ministry of Magic has finally announced that you have created the second Sorcerer's Stone."

"Oh? What did the newspaper say?" Zuo Si asked with great interest.

"They boasted about your alchemy level, and even invited Nicole Flamel to give a professional review. But...they concealed the matter about magic mercury and the fact that it can bring people back from the dead." North cautiously replied road.

Zuo Si sarcastically said immediately after hearing this: "As expected, it's exactly what I expected.

A cowardly and fearful bureaucrat like Fudge doesn't have the courage to announce the truth at all. At best, he will only make some secret deals in private with those powerful pure-blood families.

Maybe it won't be long before those wizards who died in the last war will be resurrected one by one.

Similarly, the world will become more and more interesting. "

"You mean, Fudge will allow Xu Fu to revive those who have been dead for more than ten years?" North opened his mouth in surprise.

"Of course. As long as those pure-blood families tout his achievements a little bit, and stuff a large sum of money through donations in private, Fudge will definitely approve some dead wizards to participate in the so-called resurrection experiment.

Even if someone in the Ministry of Magic objected, he could use excuses such as obtaining the consent of the family members to refute.

But I'm curious as to which of so many pure-blood families will be the first to sit still. "

While saying these words, Zuo Si's eyes shone with a chilling light.

To know the number of deaths during the First Wizarding War is quite staggering.

At the height of the war, the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic were almost indistinguishable from Death Eaters.

At that time, the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Batius Crouch, even issued a temporary bill in the name of justice, allowing his subordinates to legally use the three unforgivable curses to kill, control and torture what they believed to be enemy targets.

A brother of Professor McGonagall, the vice-headmaster of Hogwarts, Robert McGonagall Jr., died at the hands of Death Eaters in this kind of brutal struggle.

As for the pure blood family, the loss was even more astonishing.

Especially the Laike family, one of the twenty-eight pure bloods, the only male member eligible to inherit the family business was Sirius, who was imprisoned in Azkaban waiting to die.

So when it is known that there is a way to bring people back to life in this world, whether it is due to practical needs or emotional factors, there will be a lot of people who want to resurrect their relatives and friends.

Faced with such raging public opinion, it is impossible for the Ministry of Magic to completely reject or turn a blind eye.

These circumstances were anticipated when Zuo Si handed the Sorcerer's Stone to Fudge.

"I think you should know that from reading these letters."

With that said, North offered the thick stack of envelopes in his arms with both hands.

Seeing the red wax seals with family crests on them, Zuo Si casually picked up a few of them, and teased with a half-smile: "The Avery family, I remember that some members of their family should have joined the Death Eaters.

The Carlo family is another family that produced several Death Eaters.

There are also the Nott family, the Rozier family, the Selwyn family, the Travers family...

Sure enough, one by one couldn't help jumping out.

It seems that the fiasco of the last war caused them to lose many important members.

In addition, the wording and titles of these letters are also very interesting, almost without exception, from Your Excellency to Master, are honorifics.

According to the arrogance of pure-blood nobles, shouldn't they call me a Muggle-born student a Mudblood?

Why the sudden change of attitude? "

The house elf thought for a moment and immediately replied: "I think this may be because you announced to Principal Dumbledore that you have the blood of the noble Dumbledore family. Through this report, I am afraid that there is no one in the entire wizarding world." Will consider you a Muggle-born again."

Zuo Si shook his head slightly: "No, you're wrong, North. It doesn't matter whether I have the blood of the Dumbledore family flowing in me, but because I made the first one that can bring people back from the dead." Two Philosopher's Stones. To put it simply, what these pure-blood families are in awe of is never the blood, but the power that can be seen and touched."

"Then what should we do with these letters? Do you need me to write a reply for you?" the house elf asked in an uncertain tone.

"There is no need for this. The things of the pure-blood family that are outdated by the times are destined to be swept into the dustbin of history, so don't look at them now. They have amazing wealth, power and great influence, but they won't last long. Throw them all in the fire, and pretend you never got them."

Zuo Si casually threw the letter in his hand on the table, not even interested in glancing at the contents.

Because even if you don't look at it, you probably know what's written in it.

It is nothing more than trying to win a resurrection spot for a dead member of his family by soliciting, bribing, and going through the back door.

As the owner of the Philosopher's Stone, he has absolute power in this regard.

"Understood, I'll throw these letters in the fireplace later and burn them.

By the way, I would like to remind you that the day after tomorrow is the start of Hogwarts. I have already prepared the salute for you, and the box is placed in the corner of the living room.

Also, don't forget to head to the Department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic on the weekend of the second week of term.

You promised that Minister Fudge would meet with him and discuss some specifics about the resurrection experiment. "

At this moment, North is like a qualified housekeeper, arranging everything in this house properly.

Two days passed in a flash.

When the special day of September 1 came, Zuo Si, who rarely slept for twelve hours, got up from the bed, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then changed into a set of ordinary casual clothes.

After eating the breakfast cooked by the house elves, he came to King's Cross Station with his suitcase.

Passing through the magically disguised platform nine and three-quarters, the express train to Hogwarts appeared out of nowhere.

Like last year, there was always a sense of hustle and bustle in the run-up to the start.

As the British wizarding world has experienced a rare period of peace that lasted for a decade, wizards ushered in a wave of high population growth and baby boom.

The more children there are, the more eligible students will naturally be.

Everywhere you looked, you could see junior students saying goodbye to their parents.

In addition, there are many reunions after a long absence, and they are showing some interesting things they got during the holidays to their friends.

The Weasley twins, for example, are selling their gizmos to other people.

It is not difficult to see from the bulging purses that they definitely made a small fortune.

However, when Zuo Si appeared, both the students and the parents subconsciously stopped their movements and looked at them in surprise, curiosity, or awe.

After all, the "Daily Prophet" and "Wizard Weekly" have been full of long articles about him in recent days.

Among them are both praises for the previous magic scroll and spell storage technology, and there is a lot of noise about the second Philosopher's Stone.

In the eyes of some people who know a little bit about the inside story, Zuo Si is no longer just a Hogwarts student, but a rising star.

Even the achievements he has achieved now can be called "great", not to mention that he is still so young, and he has not even taken the first step on the road of life.

Ignoring those strange looks and gazes, Zuo Si walked on the train very calmly, went straight to the last carriage and sat down.

And this seat happened to be the exclusive seat where he sat on and off Hogwarts last semester.

When the whistle was sounded and the train was about to leave, Hermione's figure appeared at the door of the carriage, panting.

Unlike when she didn't know how to dress herself up in the first grade, today she not only straightened her fluffy hair and combed it neatly, but also shrunk her iconic front teeth a lot under the effect of the magic spell. Quite a bit of a slim girly style.

Even if you only wear a white shirt and jeans, it will make people feel bright.

"You almost missed the train." Zuo Si reminded with a smile.

"I can't help it. Girls always have to spend a little time dressing up before going out. What's more, if you don't say it, you have said that as long as it is one second before the stipulated time, it is considered late?"

The girl blinked her eyes playfully, then put the suitcase in her hand on the luggage rack, while she made it to the opposite side.

"Here, drink some water and wipe off your sweat."

Zuo Si thoughtfully sent a pack of tissues and a bottle of mineral water.

Hermione was also polite, took it, unscrewed the bottle cap and drank most of it, then gently wiped the sweat from her cheeks, forehead and neck with a facial tissue.

Due to the makeup, she wiped very carefully, for fear of making herself a big face.

After finishing all this, the girl let out a long breath: "Phew - thank you, I can finally rest for a while. Do you know? I have been running non-stop since I entered the station, and I am almost tired died."

"Remember to set aside half an hour in advance next time, so that this situation will not happen now." Zuo Si suggested with a smile.

As a person who has experienced it, he once was idle and bored and roughly calculated the time it takes for women to put on makeup when they go out.

Generally speaking, most of them can be done in about ten to twenty minutes. Girls like Hermione who have just started learning makeup may take a little longer, but half an hour is almost enough.

As for the one-or-two-hour-long exquisite dress, it is only occasionally used when attending important occasions or weddings.

Hearing these words, the girl froze for a moment.

Just when she was about to ask Zuo Si how she knew that her makeup would take half an hour, George and Fred rushed in with Ginny and asked in unison, "Have you seen Harry and Ron?"

"No. Why, did they both disappear?" Hermione subconsciously asked.

"Damn it! I searched all over this train and found no sign of Harry and Ron. Everyone claimed to have never seen them. Mom and Dad are going crazy." A trace of tension and anxiety appeared on George's face.

Just as he was speaking, the time for departure finally arrived.

Accompanied by the ear-piercing whistle and the sound of the wheels driven by the steam engine, the Hogwarts Express finally began to accelerate along the rails, and it didn't take long before it passed through a valley and drove through some unknown secret passages.

Just as several people were discussing where Harry and Ron might go, whether they were kidnapped or the worst-case scenario, a blue dilapidated car suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the blue sky above their heads.

It's just that due to too much concentration, no one noticed this.

In desperation, Zuo Si could only cough hard, pointed to the sky above his head and reminded: "Look, is this the one that Mr. Weasley parked in his warehouse?"

"What? Oh - my God! That's Harry and Ron up there!"

Fred quickly took out a magic telescope from his pocket, and saw the two people sitting in the car clearly.

"These two bastards! Why don't you invite us to such an exciting thing as driving a flying car to school?" George raised his fist angrily and knocked on the table.

Compared with the big brothers who were out of tune, Ginny undoubtedly realized the seriousness of the problem, and immediately covered her face and cried: "It's over! Dad will definitely get into big trouble because of this car, and Mom will wish to pinch it with her own hands." Die Ron."

"Yes! According to the Ministry of Magic's Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Division, this car has violated at least seventeen to twenty laws. If you add that Mr. Arthur is the law enforcement officer of this department and knows the law, as long as the trial and If the execution is a little stricter, it would not be surprising to be sent to Azkaban and locked up for a year or two." Zuo Si analyzed pretentiously.

In fact, he himself never paid attention to the messy decrees of the Ministry of Magic.

Because in his opinion, these laws, rules and prohibitions are a bunch of jokes.

Just look at Arthur Weasley himself and you'll see what a bunch of law enforcement officers and legislators at the British Ministry of Magic are.

Although from any point of view, this middle-aged man is an iconic image of a good man, but a good man may not be a good legislator and law enforcer.

Among other things, just from the fact that they deliberately left loopholes for themselves when enacting the law, they should be sent to prison and locked up as an example.

In the magical world where nepotism is so rampant, it is simply a dream to enforce the rule of law sternly and selflessly.

Even Batius Crouch, who is regarded as unselfish by outsiders, would sneak his son out of prison for selfish reasons, not to mention other wizards.

But the twins and Ginny didn't know this. After hearing Zuo Si's alarmist words, they immediately began to worry about the troubles their father might encounter.

When the sky darkened, the train finally stopped slowly on the platform.

Since the second-year students no longer needed to take that extremely inconvenient waterway, the group quickly entered the castle hall in a carriage pulled by thestrals.

When Zuo Si said goodbye to Hermione and was about to go to the table in Slytherin College, Professor McGonagall, who was holding the list of freshmen, suddenly came from a distance, pointed to the place where the principal and other professors were sitting, and said, "Your seat Over there."

"So I'm half a professor?" Zuo Si asked in surprise.

"That's right. In your current status, even a student is a professor. But except in class, you have no right to deduct or add points to other students." Professor McGonagall patiently explained. "Here, here is your class schedule for this semester."

"thank you very much."

Zuo Si took a look at the schedule, then nodded to the principal under the gaze of countless students, and found an empty seat to sit down.

But the moment his ass just touched the chair, Gilderoy Lockhart impatiently leaned over and put on his professional smile: "Ah! This is not a famous genius in the wizarding world! A star of tomorrow! The pioneer of magic scrolls and spell storage technology, the master alchemist who created the second magic stone - Soth? Nice to meet you, I'm Gilderoy Lockhart, I believe geniuses like us will get along very pleasant."

"I also look forward to spending a pleasant semester with you."

There was a dangerous gleam in Zuo Si's eyes that could not be detected.

Because just now, he had already decided who to give Voldemort's diary to test the specific working principle of the Horcrux.

Poor Gilderoy Lockhart didn't realize how dangerous he was being targeted by, but smiled happily and nodded: "Of course! I promise, by the end of the semester, we will all get ordinary people Great fame and wealth that you can't get in a lifetime. By the way, do you mind if I join you when you conduct research next time? I can give some good advice and experience in many aspects."

"No problem. I very much welcome volunteers like you to join." Zuo Si agreed without even thinking about it.

"That would be great! I wish us a happy working together!"

Gilderoy Lockhart didn't recognize the accent Zuo Si put on the word "individual", thinking that he could prostitute the other party's fame for free.

In this way, he can claim in his next book that Zuo Si had his own help to achieve his later success.

After watching Gilderoy Lockhart return to his seat, Zuo Si took the time to observe other people.

As a result, I didn’t know if I didn’t read it, but I was shocked when I saw it.

Severus Snape, who was always dressed in a gloomy manner, changed his black robes into a coquettish dark green for some reason today, and his hair was no longer the usual The rather greasy appearance, on the contrary, presents a kind of elegance that cannot be described in words, and the body exudes a faint smell of cologne.

Good guy!

Zuo Si called it a good guy!

A man nourished by love is really different!

Why the hell didn't you take Lily Evans straight to Hogwarts to meet Harry Potter and Dumbledore?

So much crisp!

However, the headmaster had other worries at the moment, so he didn't notice the changes in Snape's temperament and appearance.

Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be exposed every minute.

"Professor, don't you think your current appearance is too ostentatious?"

Zuo Si then picked up the cup to drink water, and whispered a reminder in Snape's ear.

"Don't worry. I put Lily in a place where no one can find it. It doesn't matter if Dumbledore finds out, because he will never have proof. Compared with this matter, how to deal with the relationship with Potter That's the big trouble." Snape also lowered his voice and replied reassuringly.
