So your assumption about motivation was wrong from the beginning."

"But I clearly saw him casting a curse on Harry's broom on the Quidditch field today." Hermione questioned with great confusion.

"For many things, what you see with your own eyes is not necessarily the truth, and may also be a misunderstanding. How do you know that Professor Snape is casting a curse instead of helping to break the curse?" Zuo Si asked meaningfully.
p>

Hearing these words, a flash of understanding suddenly flashed in Hermione's eyes, and she asked impatiently: "You mean... Professor Snape was protecting Harry at that time? And there were other people who wanted to harm him.

People?"

"Instead of being so suspicious, why not go directly to Professor Snape himself, or to Principal Dumbledore? Do you need me to take you there?"

Zuo Si obviously had no interest in playing this ridiculous game with the other party, so he directly offered a solution.

After all, this matter was not complicated from the beginning. On the one hand, it was Dumbledore's deliberate induction, and on the other hand, it was the misunderstanding caused by Snape's gloomy character and behavior.

As long as we get together and explain things clearly, there won't be so much nonsense.

But unfortunately, Zuo Si obviously overestimated the proportion of rationality in children's thinking.

Both Ron and Harry were quite prejudiced against Snape, so they rejected the proposal without hesitation and returned to the Gryffindor common room.

In contrast, Hermione became smarter under Zuo Si's training, and seemed to have noticed something. After the two of them were completely far away, she lowered her voice and cautiously asked: "Do you already know the truth?

”

"Oh? How did you see that?" Zuo Si had a playful smile on his face.

"Because you eliminated Professor Snape's suspicion too quickly, which is illogical. And when you mentioned confronting Snape and Professor Dumbledore, you didn't have the slightest worry. Except that you already knew the truth.

, I really can't think of any other reasons." Hermione analyzed with a serious look.

Seeing that the girl still maintained her rationality and was not being manipulated like a pawn like the other two silly boys, Zuo Si immediately showed a satisfied smile: "Good judgment. You guessed it, I do know some truths, but

But I can’t tell you. Because all of this is the principal’s training and test of our great savior, Harry Potter.”

"Cultivate and test?"

Hermione instantly caught two key words.

Because she comes from a Muggle family, her attitude towards Harry Potter is not like that of other classmates who come from wizarding families, with a little bit of admiration.

I know very well that the famous "Savior" in the magic world is actually a person of the same age as myself, and there is nothing special about him.

"Yes. Guess why Harry Potter is called the savior? Is it just because he was the first person to successfully survive the death curse? Or do you really believe in him as a baby?

Defeated the Dark Lord, who even Dumbledore was very afraid of?" Zuo Si asked several key questions in one breath.

Hermione lowered her head and pondered for a long time, and finally shook her head blankly: "I...I don't know."

"Then have you noticed the lightning-shaped scar on Harry's forehead?" Zuo Si gave a small hint.

"I noticed it. Is there anything wrong with that scar?" Hermione asked with a frown.

"I can only tell you that it is not an ordinary scar.

Because of this, Harry is so special and qualified to be called the savior of the wizarding world, at least the British wizarding world.

This word does not refer to the past and present, but to the near future.

And it’s also related to a prophecy.

Including Principal Dumbledore and Professor Snape, they are all insiders of this matter.

So you were worried that Professor Snape would steal the Philosopher's Stone. You were wrong from the beginning, and very wrong."

Zuo Si quickly revealed part of the mystery.

He didn't want the smart girl in front of him to follow her original life path and become a nanny for two stupid boys, Harry and Ron. That would be a waste of talent.

Instead, he plans to train him to be a good helper for him in this world.

There is no doubt that no matter which one of these breaking news, Hermione's young heart was greatly shocked, and her whole person suddenly fell into silence.

After several minutes, she slowly came back to her senses and asked in a slightly trembling voice: "You...how do you know this?"

"It's simple. When you have enough knowledge and power, you will naturally know secrets that many people have never heard of.

So promise me not to get involved in this matter again.

If Harry really encounters any danger, no matter it is Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, or Snape, who always seems to be targeting you, they will immediately choose to take action.

Hogwarts is safe, much safer than you think."

After saying these words, Zuo Si ignored the girl's extremely shocked facial expression, picked up the swelling potion and drank it on an experimental mouse.

The next second...

The size of this mouse began to expand rapidly, from the size of a palm to the size of a cat in the blink of an eye.

It's just that because the muscles, blood vessels and skin are stretched to the extreme, the appearance looks extremely ferocious and terrifying.

The body looks round as if it is filled with air.

What's even more incredible is that in this state, the strength actually increased several times, and a harsh squeaking sound was made.

But after a while, the rat's expanded body exceeded the limit it could bear, and then exploded with a loud bang.

Blood, minced meat, bones and internal organs were scattered everywhere.

Fortunately, Zuo Si was prepared and threw it into a sealed transparent container in advance, so it did not cause too much pollution to the room.

With a wave of the magic wand, the cleaning spell instantly cleaned the bloody container.

Through this experiment, he can basically confirm that the Swelling Potion is the same as the Swelling Curse, which can increase the target's size by almost six times and increase its strength by almost three times.

If the summoned creature is taken during battle, its ability to fight in close combat will be greatly improved.

The only uncertainty now is what the upper limit of the dosage is and whether it will be weakened or enhanced by the magic resistance of the creature taking it.

The more Zuo Si learned about those interesting spells and potions, the more Zuo Si felt that there were many things with great potential to be explored in this world.

However, due to being in a peaceful environment for a long time, wizards did not focus on developing killing, destroying and destructive spells.

Many of the spells and potions can easily kill people immediately with just a few modifications.

"What are you doing?"

The sudden explosion of the mouse obviously aroused Hermione's curiosity, causing her to temporarily forget the subversive information just now.

Zuo Si responded without raising his head: "It's nothing, just testing the effect of the swelling medicine. Oh, by the way, considering that the Christmas holiday will not be long, so all work will be stopped starting tomorrow, and I won't do it during this period.

We will take any more orders. You can relax and prepare to go home to reunite with your parents."

"What about you? Will you stay at school during the Christmas vacation or go home?" Hermione asked cautiously.

"Of course I'm going home. I have a lot of ideas and plans, and I plan to get them all done during this holiday. In addition, there are still some things that need to be purchased." Zuo Si casually stated his arrangements.
p>

To be honest, the Christmas vacation given by Hogwarts is not very long, only about two weeks.

Considering that we have to return to Faerûn to deal with some matters, the actual available time is estimated to be only about five or six days.

"Well, it looks like you're going to have a busy holiday. If you need any help, send an owl to me. Of course, you can also call me."

Hearing Zuo Si's arrangements, Hermione swallowed back the idea of ​​inviting him to her home for Christmas, and quickly ran back to the Gryffindor common room as if she had done something wrong.

However, Zuo Si, who was in a state of concentration, did not notice this, and in the next few days began to make the flying broomsticks promised to the Weasley twin brothers.

As an expert in the manufacture of magic items, the knowledge, technology and conveniences brought by his profession as a creator are simply not comparable to those of the wizards of the Flying Broomstick Manufacturing Company.

After purchasing suitable wood through special channels, it took less than half an hour to shape it into the required shape.

Different from the traditional broom shape, Zuo Si's design adopts a streamlined frame full of technology, and the ends that look like a bunch of dead branches are tied together with a huge metal four-hole jet accelerator.

replaced.

This thing uses the principle of wind creation. It can achieve four-speed acceleration through four spray holes. At the fastest time, it can even exceed the speed of sound in a short time. It can also achieve a sharp turn of 90 degrees by adjusting the position of the spray holes.

In order to offset the damage that may be caused by the ultra-high speed, he also added a series of constant absorption and protective magic to ensure that when the sound barrier is broken, the person riding on it will not be injured or even die.

Finally, when it was nearly completed, a shield spell was added that could be automatically triggered when encountering danger to ensure that it could provide some protection when it needed to collide with an opponent.

In short, because Zuo Si personally designed and produced these two black brooms, they will completely crush the existing flying brooms in the world, even the "Firebolt" which will be known as the highest craftsmanship of flying brooms in the future.

Moreover, when the four jet accelerators at the tail are in effect, they will also produce visual flames ranging from red, orange, to blue and white depending on the speed, to satisfy the twin brothers' desire to be eye-catching at any time.<

/p>

According to the original preparation, Zuo Si wanted to give out the two brooms as gifts on Christmas Eve.

But who knows that plans will never change quickly.

Just before the second Gryffindor Quidditch match, George and Fred happened to pass by again and spotted the black broomstick on the shelf, and immediately let out an excited exclamation.

"Merlin's beard! This is the broomstick you made? Unbelievable! It's so beautiful!"

"Yeah! This thing is like a work of art!"
