Chapter 290 Time Magic (a 10,000-Word Chapter Please Subscribe)

There is no doubt that the condition of Lily Evans after her resurrection allowed Zuo Si to glimpse the tip 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, then no matter whether it is good or evil, normally no person or soul should be allowed to break the balance between life and death.

This is like whether Faerûn is the evil death god Jaeger in ancient times, or the equally evil successor Melkor, or in a few years he will tear off the priesthood of death from Cyric and become the first lawful neutral camp god of death. Kelanvor extremely hates and rejects those who avoid death through various methods.

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

During the Netherese era when Jaeger was the God of Death, he would often go to arcanists who were about to run out of life and wanted to use life-extending potions, and then create some so-called "accidents" so that the other party could not drink the potion, and eventually died suddenly. In your own room.

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

He even allows those undead creatures who believe in himself to continue to exist, but if they do not believe in himself, they will be destroyed mercilessly.

As for the next generation of Death God Klanvor, he is also committed to fighting the undead and lich wandering in the mortal world.

So if there really is a God of Death in this world, then the ghosts wandering around Hogwarts and the dark wizards who use Horcruxes to achieve immortality should all feel frightened now.

Coupled with Lily Evans' amnesia after her resurrection from the dead, Zuo Si became more and more convinced that there was no god in this world, and the world where the soul went 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 idea in mind, Zuo Si quickly found Aberforth and the newly resurrected Ariana in the cemetery in Godric's Hollow.

Exactly as he expected, this girl who looked a little thin at fourteen years old had her soul completely degraded back to the state of a newborn baby. She couldn't even speak or communicate. She just danced around and made a burst of "baby" from her mouth. "Err" murmurs.

As for Aberforth, he was in a panic at this moment. He draped a blanket on his sister and kept telling her what happened that year, trying to wake her up from this strange state.

But unfortunately, for Ariana, who only had a baby-like cognitive level, she couldn't understand what her brother was saying at all. Instead, she was frightened by the other person's excited face and cried.

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 with a slightly helpless tone: "That's enough! Stop it! Haven't you noticed yet?" , does she only have the intelligence and cognitive level of a baby?”

"Baby...baby?!"

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

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

In fact, it is not you who encountered this problem, Professor Snape also encountered the same problem.

After being resurrected, 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 still clear.

If I guess correctly, this is due to the number of years since death.

The longer you die, the more you forget.

Lily Evans only died a little over ten years ago, so her memory loss was not severe enough to support her character and knowledge.

But Ariana has been dead for almost a hundred years, so being able to successfully revive her original soul is pretty good.

She is almost formatted now.

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 and completely deleted, and now she 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 level of a fourteen-year-old, this process will be very fast, only one or two years at most.

During this period, you may have to prepare to be a baby daddy. "

"You mean... take care of her like a baby?" Aberforth was instantly shocked.

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

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

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

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

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

Especially the extremely keen and smart brother, who would guess the truth almost immediately, come to him to reason with him, and even take away Ariana.

Zuo Si noticed the nervousness 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. Incognito Over the years, you should have saved enough to buy a house, right?"

"Of course! I can still afford more than a hundred thousand gold galleons." Aberforth nodded quickly.

Like Snape, since he saw the relatives he thought about day and night come back to life, not only was his mind confused under the control of emotions, but his IQ was also plummeting.

"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 Forgetting Curse on it. In this way, You can quietly bypass the attention of the entire magical world and place Ariana there to raise her until she is an adult and has the ability to live on her own. You can visit every few days, but not too often. "

Zuo Si gave a full set of suggestions straightforwardly.

Considering Ariana's sensitive identity, it would definitely not be feasible to be raised in the narrow social circle of the British wizarding world.

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

On the contrary, due to the confidentiality laws in the Muggle world, few wizards pay attention to it.

In addition, London is originally an international metropolis with a very large permanent population, so the possibility of being discovered is very slim.

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

In this way, accompanied by Zuo Si, Aberforth spent two days buying a house in a relatively remote community.

The house elf Calvi was 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 use the spell directly, but first tried to trace its origin, that is, to obtain a stable spell structure.

Then use this spell structure to create a magic item similar to a time turner and conduct a lot of experiments.

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

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

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

There is no doubt that time magic is the most complex and magical magic he has come across so far.

However, when conducting research, the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic strictly prohibited all aspects of time travel and peeking into the future.

That's why the time turner can only go back to the past and not travel into the future.

After all, everything that happened in the past is known, and even if you travel to the past, you can avoid having too much impact on the timeline through artificial intelligence.

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

Therefore, prohibiting peeking into the future is definitely a very wise choice.

If Zuo Si guessed correctly, the witch whose body aged after being trapped for five days as if she had passed five centuries should be caused by the time reversal spell, not that she was actually in the past timeline. Five centuries passed.

Even a long-lived wizard would not be able to live for five hundred years without the help of a life-extending potion refined from the magic stone.

In the next few days, he became obsessed with time magic, constantly experimenting with magic props and birds and snakes.

In the end, all four juvenile birds and snakes that were originally only the size of a palm 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 summoning creature card, ending the first phase of research on the "time reversal spell".

Through a lot of experiments and observations, as well as the understanding from Faerun's unique magic system, he has almost mastered the technique of making time briefly affect a certain target.

Although the duration cannot exceed one minute, and it is completely impossible to use this method to cause a creature to directly age and die or degenerate back to the state before it was born. At most, it will become senile or a child of several years old.

But even so, it can instantly gain a huge advantage in evenly matched battles.

In addition, if this spell is used on older and more powerful summoned creatures such as giant dragons, it can also instantly change them from adults to old age, and from old age to ancient dragons or even ancient age groups.

The only drawback is that it consumes too much.

If you use this world's spellcasting method to release this spell, almost half of the magic power of the LV17 wizard profession will be drained out in one fell swoop.

Converting it to Faerun's spellcasting method requires at least a ninth-level spell slot.

fortunately!

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

When this spell card takes effect, the age of the target creature will instantly pass up to one thousand years or go back one thousand years according to the caster's choice, but the maximum upper 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, dozens of years old, or even one or two hundred years old under the influence of this spell.

But if it were replaced by a relatively short-lived person, it would only fluctuate within a few decades at most.

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

As the spell [Reversal of a Thousand Years] was invented and made into a card, the number of card draws immediately increased by one, and counting the accumulated ones that had not been used before, it reached ten times.

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

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

The most eye-catching one is undoubtedly the [Earth-Shaking Elephant] from the time and space of Zendikar.

Like the [Plate Armor Crushing Beast] and [Olanli Hydra], this is also a super giant creature that can easily reach the size of a football field when it reaches adulthood.

In addition to having a trunk and more than one pair of strong tusks like an elephant, its appearance is closer to that of a dinosaur such as Triceratops. Its whole body is covered with several meters of hard cuticle, and its head is even covered with layers of The skeletal package looks like a huge crown, and there are even sharp horns on the top.

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

And like [Olanli Hydra], [Earthshaker Elephant] can also grow infinitely according to the number of green land cards.

It just doesn't have any special abilities. It only continuously superimposes physical attack power, defense power, size and vitality. It is the ultimate melee unit.

The appearance of [Earth-Shaking Elephant] once again gave Zuo Si a strong desire to see the Zendikar space and time.

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 that evolved in a high-magic environment, he couldn't help but drool.

You must know that [Olanli Hydra], [Earthshaker Elephant] and [Plate Crusher] can only be regarded as "little guys" in Zendikar at best.

A truly huge island that resembles an entire island that comes to life with the characteristics of the earth element. It can block out the sky and even cover dozens of kilometers of super water elements, fire elements, and wind elements. It is a little bit of a draw.

But when he thought of the three Eldrazi Titans sealed inside, Zuo Si immediately suppressed this impulse and desire.

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

He told himself this in his heart.

Of course, in addition to [Earth-Shaking Elephant], Zuo Si also drew a [Splicing Corpse Embedded Beast].

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

For example, if it swallows 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 poison.

Anyway, the more corpses it swallows, the more powerful it is.

But what really interested Zuo Si was the small print in the last line of the card description. This work was customized by the undead wizard Lu Dewei according to the customer's requirements.

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

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

If all dead people are not dealt with 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 humans, 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 in Zendikar, the vampire Sorin Markov, was born in Innistrad.

Ludwig, the necromantic wizard, is the most outstanding necromantic alchemist and expert in making corpse-embedded creatures in this time and space.

"Is Innistrad coming after Zendikar? It seems that the owner of the inheritance has really been to many places." Zuo Si murmured to himself, staring at the card in his hand.

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

Among them, the users of necromancy magic are basically necromancers like Ludwei, necromancers and corpse splicers, and another type of necromancer called a corpse pastor.

The former is to obtain new undead creatures by dismembering and reorganizing corpses, while the latter is a simple and crude way to infinitely resurrect and control corpses.

If Faerûn's Necromancer controls the number and strength of undead creatures directly linked to his own spellcasting level, then the characteristic of Innistrad's Ghoul Shepherd is that there is no upper limit for controlling the undead.

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

In order to prevent this from happening, humans in the Innistrad space-time would even use iron cages to completely nail the coffins buried in the ground.

As for blood magic, vampires are best at it.

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

Since Zuo Si happened to turn the Vampire Queen Badi into a summoned creature under his control, these spells can still be of some use.

In comparison, the curse magic used by the werewolves is far inferior. It is estimated that it can only be used for research and reference, and then made into potions or taught in other ways to the little werewolves in the mage tower to slightly strengthen their abilities. The fighting power of the night.

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

"Master, the Ministry of Magic finally announced your creation of the second Philosopher's Stone."

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

"They touted your alchemy skills and asked Nico Flamel to give a professional review. However... they concealed the magic mercury and the ability to resurrect people from the dead." North answered cautiously. road.

After hearing this, Zuo Si immediately said sarcastically: "It's just as I expected.

Timid and fearful bureaucrats like Fudge simply don't have the courage to announce the truth. At best, they can only reach some unknown secret deals with those powerful pure-blood families in private.

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

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

"You mean, Fudge will allow the resurrection of 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 secretly give him a large amount of money through donations, Fudge will definitely approve some dead wizards to participate in the so-called resurrection experiments.

Even if someone within the Ministry of Magic objects to it, he can refute it with the excuse of obtaining the consent of the family.

But I'm curious which of the many pureblood families will be the first to sit still. "

When saying these words, Zuo Si's eyes flashed with a chilling light.

You must know that the number of people who died during the First Wizarding War was quite astonishing.

At the height of the war, there was almost no difference between the Ministry of Magic's Aurors and Death Eaters.

Bartius Crouch, the then Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, even promulgated a temporary bill in the name of justice, allowing his subordinates to legally use the three Unforgivable Curses to kill, control, and torture those they considered enemy targets.

A brother of Professor McGonagall, the vice-chancellor of Hogwarts, Robert McGonagall Jr., died at the hands of Death Eaters in this brutal life-and-death struggle.

As for the pure-blood family, the losses were even more staggering.

Especially for the Black family, one of the twenty-eight purebloods, the only male member eligible to inherit the family business is Sirius, who is imprisoned in Azkaban and waiting to die.

So after learning that there is a method in the world that can resurrect people from the dead, whether it is for practical needs or emotional reasons, there will be a lot of people who want to resurrect their relatives and friends.

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

Zuo Si had already anticipated these situations when he handed the Magic Stone to Fudge.

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

As he spoke, North handed over the thick stack of envelopes he held in his arms.

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

The Carrow family is another family that has several Death Eaters.

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

As expected, everyone couldn't help but jump out.

It seems that the disastrous defeat in the last war caused them to lose many important members.

In addition, the wording and titles of these letters are also very interesting. From Your Excellency to Master, almost all of them are honorific.

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

Why did you suddenly change your attitude? "

The house elf thought for a moment and immediately replied: "I think this may be because Principal Dumbledore announced to the public that you have the blood of the noble Dumbledore family. Through this report, I am afraid that no one in the entire magical world has You will no longer be considered a Muggleborn."

Zuo Si shook his head slightly: "No, you are wrong, North. It has nothing to do with whether the blood of the Dumbledore family flows in my body, but because I made a second weapon that can bring people back to life. A magic stone. To put it simply, what these pure-blood families fear is never their bloodline, but their power that is actually visible and tangible."

"What should I do with these letters? Do you want me to write a reply for you?" the house elf asked in an uncertain tone.

"There is no need. The things of the pure-blood family that lag behind the times are destined to be swept into the garbage dump of history. So even though they are still very prosperous now, with amazing wealth, power and huge influence, they will not be prosperous for long. Okay. Throw these letters into the fire and burn them, as if you never received them."

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

Because even if he doesn't read it, he probably knows what's written in it.

It's nothing more than trying to win a resurrection spot for the dead members of his family by wooing, bribing, going through the back door, etc.

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

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

By the way, as a reminder, the day after tomorrow is the first day of school at Hogwarts. I have already prepared a ceremony for you, and the box is placed in the corner of the living room.

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

You promised Secretary Fudge to meet with him and discuss some of the specific details of 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 1st arrived, Zuo Si, who rarely slept peacefully for twelve hours, got up from the bed, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then put on a set of ordinary casual clothes.

After eating the breakfast carefully prepared by the house elf, he carried the box to King's Cross Station.

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

Just like last year, the period before the start always gave people a feeling of hustle and bustle.

As the British wizarding community experienced a rare decade-long period of peace, wizards experienced a wave of high population growth and a baby boom.

If there are more children, there will naturally be more people who are eligible for admission.

Everywhere you look, you can see younger students saying goodbye to their parents.

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

The Weasley twins, for example, are selling their little inventions to others.

It is easy to see from the bulging wallets that they have definitely made a small fortune.

However, when Zuo Si appeared, both students and parents present subconsciously stopped what they were doing and looked at him with either surprise, curiosity, or awe.

After all, in recent days, both the Daily Prophet and Wizarding Weekly have written lengthy articles about him.

There are praises for the previous magic scrolls and spell storage technology, as well as the second magic stone that made a lot of noise.

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

Even with his current achievements, he can be called "great", not to mention that he is still so young and has not even taken the first step in life.

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

And this seat happens to be the exclusive seat where he sat on his way to and from Hogwarts last semester.

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

Unlike when she was in the first grade and didn't know how to dress herself up, today she not only permed her originally fluffy hair and combed it neatly, but her original iconic front teeth were also shrunk a lot under the influence of magic spells, making her look like a girl. Quite a bit of a slim girlish 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 some time to dress up before going out. What's more, you said that if you don't reach the allotted time by one second, it's not considered late?"

The girl winked playfully, then put the suitcase in her hand on the luggage rack, and walked to the opposite side.

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

Zuo Si was very considerate and sent a pack of tissues and a bottle of mineral water.

Hermione was not polite, took it, unscrewed the cap of the bottle, drank most of it, and then gently wiped the sweat on her cheeks, forehead and neck with a tissue.

Because she was wearing makeup, she was very careful when wiping her face, for fear of making her face look ugly.

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

"Next time, remember to set aside half an hour in advance so that this situation won't happen." Zuo Si suggested with a smile.

As a veteran, he once calculated the time it took for women to put on makeup when they went out.

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

As for the exquisite dress-up that lasts for one or two hours, it is only used occasionally when attending important occasions or weddings.

Hearing these words, the girl was stunned for a moment.

Just when she was about to ask Zuo Si how he knew it would take half an hour to put on makeup, George and Fred suddenly burst in with Ginny and asked in unison: "Have you seen Harry and Ron?"

"No. What, are they missing?" Hermione asked subconsciously.

"Damn it! I've searched all over this train and there's no trace of Harry and Ron. Everyone claims they haven't seen them. Mom and Dad are going crazy." A trace of nervousness and anxiety appeared on George's face.

Just as he was speaking, it was finally time to set off.

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

While several people were intensely discussing the worst case scenario of where Harry and Ron might go, whether they were kidnapped, or something like that, a shabby blue car suddenly appeared out of thin air in the blue sky above them.

It's just that no one noticed this because they were too focused.

In desperation, Zuo Si could only cough hard, point to the sky above his head and remind: "Look, is this the car 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 clearly the two people sitting in the car.

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

Compared to her inconspicuous brothers, Ginny undoubtedly realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately covered her face and cried sadly: "It's over! Dad will definitely get into big trouble because of this car, and mom will want to strangle her to death with her own hands. Ron."

"Yes! According to the regulations of the Department of Misuse and Misuse of Muggle Articles of the Ministry of Magic, this car violated at least seventeen to twenty laws. If coupled with the fact that Mr. Arthur himself is the law enforcer of this department and knows the law and breaks the law, as long as the trial If the execution is a little stricter, it wouldn't be surprising to be sent to Azkaban for a year or two." Zuo Si analyzed pretentiously.

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

Because in his opinion, these laws, rules and prohibitions are a complete joke.

Just look at Arthur Weasley himself and you will know what kind of bunch of law enforcers and legislators the British Ministry of Magic are.

Although this middle-aged man is an iconic image of a good guy from any angle, good people may not necessarily become good legislators and law enforcers.

If nothing else, just because he deliberately left loopholes for himself when formulating the law, he should be sent to prison and locked up to serve as a warning to others.

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

Even Bartius Crouch, who was regarded as selfless in the eyes of outsiders, would sneak his son out of prison for personal gain, not to mention other wizards.

However, the twins and Ginny didn't know this. After listening to Zuo Si's alarmism, they immediately began to worry about the trouble their father might encounter.

When it got dark, the train finally slowly stopped on the platform.

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

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

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

"That's right. As a student, you are also 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 so much."

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

But the moment his butt touched the chair, Gilderoy Lockhart impatiently came over and put on his professional smile: "Ah! Isn't this the famous wizarding genius! The 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 am Gilderoy Lockhart, I believe geniuses like us will get along. Very enjoyable.”

"I also look forward to having an enjoyable semester with you."

A dangerous light that was difficult to detect flashed in Zuo Si's eyes.

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

Poor Gilderoy Lockhart didn't realize how dangerous he was being targeted. Instead, he smiled happily and nodded: "Of course! I promise that by the end of the semester, we will all be ordinary people." Huge fame and wealth that you will never get in a lifetime. By the way, next time you do research, do you mind if I join in? I can give some good advice and experience in many aspects."

"No problem. I very much welcome willing individuals like you to join." Zuo Si agreed without even thinking.

"That's great! I wish us a happy cooperation!"

Gilderoy Lockhart didn't hear Zuo Si's emphasis on the word "individual" and thought he could use the other person's fame for free.

In this way, he can advocate in the next book that Zuo Si achieved his later achievements with his help.

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

The result is not clear even if you look at it, and you will be shocked when you look at it.

Severus Snape, who always looked gloomy, suddenly changed his black robes that had never changed for thousands of years into a sultry dark green, and his hair was no longer as usual. Although she looked greasy, she showed an elegance that could not be described in words, and her body exuded a faint smell of cologne.

Good guy!

Zuo Si called him a good guy!

Men who are nourished by love are indeed different!

Why the hell didn't you just bring Lily Evans to Hogwarts for Harry Potter and Dumbledore to meet?

That’s so easy!

However, the Headmaster had other worries at the moment and did not notice the changes in Snape's temperament and appearance.

Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be exposed in minutes.

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

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

"Don't worry. I placed Lily in a place where no one can find her. It doesn't matter even if Dumbledore notices it, because he will never have evidence.
