The first lesson in the morning in Gryffindor House is Professor McGonagall’s Transfiguration, while the first lesson in Slytherin House is Professor Sprout’s Herbology.
So after a brief chat, Zuo Si followed the new students in his college and went to the greenhouse with the Hufflepuff Headmaster to observe and identify magical plants.
Although this kind of course is a waste of time for him, in order to play the role of a genius student, he still shows off his terrifying photographic memory to the fullest.
Whenever the professor asks any question, the answer will be given quickly within one second.
The speed and accuracy of the answers made Professor Sprout, who is proficient in plants and herbal medicines, shine.
Because she had been teaching at Hogwarts for so many years, this was the first time she had seen such a smart student, so she unknowingly shared a lot of her unique knowledge and experience.
He also encouraged Zuo Si to study hard and become a great wizard like Dumbledore who will lead the times in the future.
I have to say that compared with the extremely egotistical mages in Faerûn and the floating city towers, the professors at Hogwarts are so friendly that people feel uncomfortable.
As long as students are willing to learn, they will teach almost everything they know, without any intention of holding anything back.
Through contact with Professor Sprout, Zuo Si finally understood why Voldemort was able to get along so well as a student.
Except for Dumbledore, who had long sensed something was wrong, all the other professors had a favorable impression of Tom Riddle and believed that he was an extremely outstanding child who would sooner or later make an amazing career in the wizarding world.
Like almost all other schools, any student who is smart, studious and has excellent grades can receive some degree of "preferential treatment" in Hogwarts.
Professors will also impart some knowledge beyond the textbooks, spells and skills in other professional fields.
Therefore, many of the elite students already have power that is not inferior to, or even surpasses that of adult wizards by the time they are in fourth to sixth grade.
When they enter the magical world after graduation, without exception, they are talents that all walks of life are competing for.
But Zuo Si didn't know that when he left the hall on the first floor, Gryffindor students gathered together to discuss Slytherin House's strange reaction just now.
"Hey! Harry! Do you believe the nonsense Soth just said?" Ron was the first to question.
Because the Weasley family itself is also one of the pure-blood families, he knows very well the morals of the Malfoy family.
It's definitely not as simple as a "little contradiction" to make Draco show that kind of fearful expression and eyes.
"Well - I think Malfoy acted more like he was under some kind of threat and intimidation."
Harry Potter obviously has a lot of "experience" in this area, and he guessed the truth at once.
After all, the "savior" will never forget that when he was in primary school in the Muggle world, Dudley would threaten him fiercely every time he bullied him, warning him not to tell the teacher.
"Threats and intimidation? Are you sure! Soth is facing not only Malfoy, but also many senior Slytherin students." Ron's mouth opened in surprise.
Just when Harry was about to say something, the twin brothers Fred and George ran over in a hurry from afar.
One of them said directly and excitedly: "Hey! Guys! Guess what big news we just got?"
"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. Later, after Professor Snape arrived, the closed entrance was opened. According to a Hufflepuff who happened to pass by
According to a third-year student at the college, he heard crying, wailing, and the smell of something being burned."
George pretended to be mysterious and told the news he had learned.
Fred on the side added: "Not only that! Haven't you noticed that some senior Slytherin students have large red marks on their faces, hands and necks? According to the description in the potions book
, those are the marks left after applying burn treatment ointment, and it will take about two or three days to disappear. This means that the Slytherin students, including Malfoy, must have been severely burned by the flames."<
/p>
Hearing these words, Ron opened his mouth in shock and asked in an unbelievable tone: "You mean... Soth defeated half of Slytherin House alone on the first day of school?
Even the seniors!"
"Hehe! That's right! This can also be a good explanation for why Marcus Flint is so evasive about this. Believe me, that bastard is not a guy who gives in easily. Wait until you watch Slytherin House.
You can see it in the Quidditch game. To be able to scare him like this, he must have experienced something quite terrifying."
When saying these words, George did not hide his gloating at all.
Fred also grinned and said in an envious tone: "This freshman is really cool, isn't he?"
"That's right! It's so cool!"
George put a hand on his brother Ron's shoulder, imitating Zuo Si's tone just now.
"Dear classmate Draco, do you have any objections to me now? If so, please tell me. It doesn't matter. I am a very kind person and will not retaliate against you afterwards."
"Hahahaha! The key point of this sentence is the word revenge. I feel like poor Malfoy is about to wet his pants from fear." Fred laughed unbridled.
As two typical "fun people", they are very well-informed.
No matter what happens in Hogwarts, you can always find out something as soon as possible.
"According to what you say, isn't South very dangerous? He may be punished or even expelled at any time because of this matter."
Hermione, who was looking down at her book, suddenly interrupted.
But George shook his head disapprovingly: "No. First of all, the Sos people are alone and must be the party being attacked, so everything he does can be interpreted as self-defense.
Secondly, the students in Slytherin House are currently keeping secret about this. I guess it was Snape, the head of school, who issued the hush order.
Otherwise, their points will be deducted in an instant and they will not be able to compete for this year's Academy Cup.
Finally, and most importantly.
Professor Snape's protectiveness and preference for students in his own house are almost a well-known thing in Hogwarts.
That's why he would not allow such a genius from this college to be expelled.
To sum up, Sos is not only very safe, but may also receive some special care.
Just watch, it won’t be long before this new student becomes the focus of everyone’s attention.”
There is no doubt that Hermione, who was born in a true Muggle family, was stunned by the twin brother's 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 after sharing some school anecdotes with their stupid brother and Harry, they happily ran to their first class.
After they were completely gone, Ron swallowed his saliva and exclaimed in a low voice: "Merlin's beard! As a new freshman, he brought down half of Slytherin House? This is simply too exaggerated! It seems that Soth is here
The book I read on the train was not just pretentious, but I really learned the spells recorded in it."
"What book?" Harry was slightly stunned.
"Of course it's "Standard Spells - Level 6"! This book is our sixth grade textbook. There are many spells that even adult wizards cannot learn and master. Haven't you noticed?" Ron explained excitedly.
"What?!"
Hermione suddenly stood up from her chair when she heard this, widened her eyes and asked: "Are you telling the truth?"
Ron nodded quickly: "I swear! Every word I just said is absolutely true! When we were on the train, Soth used the repair spell to repair Harry's glasses, especially when he was waiting for the sorting ceremony at the door.
It was easy to use the stun spell to put Malfoy and his two followers. Many people have seen this with their own eyes. I bet that he is definitely the most powerful student in our class."
Without a doubt!
Ron's words instantly aroused Hermione's competitive spirit. She immediately looked down at the class schedule and found that the closest class she took with Slytherin House was Potions class, followed closely by flying class.
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 Gryffindor "little lions" hurried towards the Transfiguration classroom.
Since the person teaching the Transfiguration class is Professor McGonagall, the dean of our own 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, after a while, I was confused by the stairs that automatically rotated and changed direction.
Suddenly, many freshmen were so anxious that they were sweating profusely.
I was bumping around like a headless fly, and I was also trying to ask those animated portraits and sculptures.
In short, the Eight Immortals cross the sea and show their magical powers.
Compared to 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 all the passages and the direction changes of the stairs in Hogwarts, and it seemed that no matter what he did, he seemed to be able to do it with ease.
Since the first-year courses were relatively few and loose, after finishing a herbal medicine class, Zuo Si came to the library openly and began to read books that were not in the restricted area one by one along the bookshelf.
Except for taking time to return to the dormitory at noon for a hero's banquet, I didn't leave the library for almost the entire day.
To be continued...
