"Wedding? Sorry, I haven't thought that far yet. Compared with this, there are two problems that I urgently need your help to solve."
Snape shook his head slightly, sat down on the sofa in the living room, and poured himself a glass of wine.
"You don't want me to help get Harry Potter and make him accept the fact that his mother is about to marry another man, and this man is his most hated professor, right?"
Zuo Si guessed the other party's thoughts almost effortlessly.
Because he knew that with the level of infatuation of the man in front of him, he would definitely not have the heart to let his beloved woman hide in this house for the rest of her life and never have contact with the outside world.
Contact with the outside world means that sooner or later Lily will know that she is married and has a son.
However, due to memory loss, I may not care too much about my husband who has been dead for many years.
But it is certainly impossible for a mother to give up or let go of her biological son easily.
Therefore, resolving the conflict with the savior has become something that must be done.
Snape was obviously very aware of this, and responded with a slightly helpless tone: "This is indeed a headache for me. You should know that due to some things that happened in the first semester, Potter has always maintained a close relationship with me.
He is quite wary, so it is not easy to improve the relationship. I heard that your relationship with him is pretty good, maybe you can make him change his attitude a little?"
"I'm sorry, Professor. My relationship with Harry Potter is limited to ordinary friends. No, it shouldn't even be considered a friend. At best, I'm just a classmate with an average relationship. If you want to expect me to exert any influence on him, I'm afraid it's really hard.
"I think too much. In addition, I think if you want to improve the relationship, you should first make him less repulsive to potions class." Zuo Si smiled and gave his own advice.
You must know that the teenage years are the most sensitive and most prone to rebellious psychology.
Based on Snape's targeted and naked disgust last semester, it is estimated that it is not easy to change his image in the heart of the savior.
In the original book, the reason why Harry finally chose to forgive, or even be grateful to, the half-blood prince was entirely based on his final tragic self-sacrifice and the handing over of all his memories.
At that time, the savior had already experienced many things, and had become much more mature both in age and psychology.
"Oh? What do you think I should do?"
At this moment, Snape was completely without his usual tyranny and arrogance. Instead, he was like an "old father" who longed for his children's understanding.
Zuo Si replied casually: "It's very simple. The first thing is to give him extra points in Potions class and make sure that he will be separated from Ron.
Because when the two of them are together, their rejection of you will increase exponentially.
Secondly, let him know that his mother is a great witch and is very good at making potions.
Finally, and most importantly, you must not continue to cause trouble for Gryffindor House students, but must establish a fair image.
If the above three points can be adhered to for a semester, then I think he will change his mind about you."
Snape nodded thoughtfully: "What you said makes sense. Especially Ron Weasley, he is simply a fool who succeeds in nothing but fails in everything. He follows Harry all day long, except for meeting...
Apart from being a hindrance, it has no positive effect at all. I have to find a way to separate them so that Harry can become an excellent wizard like his mother."
After hearing these words, Zuo Si immediately held a moment of silence for Ron.
Because of this poor little guy, the new semester is going to get off to a hellish start.
He will soon discover that breaking the wand in two and being scolded by a yelling letter from his mother in front of everyone in the school is just the beginning. Next, he will have to face the curse of an "old father"
Angry.
After all, in the eyes of parents, once it is confirmed that someone has brought up their children, they will definitely try their best to take some more extreme coercive measures.
However, Zuo Si has no prejudice against Ron, and he has not done anything specifically against him. The only blame is that his brothers are too outstanding, which makes him seem too ordinary and incompetent.
It's like a big family with all outstanding talents. Suddenly a less outstanding person will naturally appear very dazzling, and every move will be subject to criticism and tremendous pressure.
Ron is the most typical example.
Whether it is the professors at Hogwarts or the parents at home, they will inadvertently compare their brothers' performance in school with them.
In addition, his best friend is Harry Potter, the savior with a halo, which further creates his strong sense of inferiority.
And people who are too inferior or arrogant will never be lovable no matter what.
In this way, Zuo Si had a simple meal at Snape's new home, and gave full play to his advantages in social interaction, language and psychological control of people, making Lily cover her mouth and snicker the whole time.
In less than half an hour, Harry Potter's mother regarded him as a trustworthy young friend.
After returning to the castle, Snape even said a very rare thank you.
It is not easy to say these two words from his awkward and arrogant mouth.
At least as far as Zuo Si knew, the potion master had never said a single word of thanks to anyone else.
Along with this thank you, there was also a large number of valuable high-end potions, as well as a potion notebook of more than 500 pages written by Snape himself.
There are hundreds of improved potion formulas, many of which are subversive and have never been published to the public.
From this alone, it can be seen that he was really disheartened after Lily's death, and he didn't even care about honor, wealth and fame.
But now, these things are cheaper Zuo Si.
Just relying on the contents of the notes, Zuo Si can take a big step forward on the basis of standardization and quantification of potions.
Of course, he didn't forget to share it with Hermione.
As a result, many students and professors could see the two being inseparable all day long. After class, they would hide in the room specially assigned to Zuo Si for experiments to prepare potions.
There are even rumors that they saw the two hugging each other and kissing.
In short, as a high-profile figure in the school, Zuo Si's every move has attracted the attention of countless people. Hermione, as the academic leader second only to the former in her age, has also received a lot of attention.
When two people get together, some gossip and gossip will inevitably arise.
Fortunately, they don't pay much attention to such boring rumors.
Hermione, in particular, was frantically absorbing a lot of knowledge about magic, alchemy, potions, etc. from Zuo Si, and had no time or energy to care about other things.
In addition to sleeping and cleaning up her personal hygiene every day, she only spends a little time putting on makeup and dressing up when she goes out in the morning. The rest of the time is either studying and experimenting, or doing some previous preparations.
"Damn! This is so hard!"
After another attempt to turn a huge rock into a human or animal form failed, the girl couldn't help but curse in a low voice, and her heart was filled with a strong sense of frustration.
Because just yesterday, she saw Zuo Si easily transforming him into a tiger that was more than two meters tall and more than four meters long during a demonstration.
Moreover, the tiger's markings, eyes, claws and teeth are all lifelike.
If the material was not stone and it was not colored, some people would probably regard it as a real tiger.
But when she tried it herself, Hermione realized just how difficult this level of transformation magic was.
Putting aside everything else, just shaping the shape of such a large stone is much more troublesome than imagined, not to mention making it move.
Zuo Si, who was preparing the potion on the side, smiled and comforted: "Don't be anxious, keep a normal mind and take your time. The most taboo thing about magic is impatience. I believe that with your talent, hard work and intelligence, you should be able to do it soon."
Do it. After all, according to the current average level in the magic world, more than 98% of adult wizards cannot achieve this level of transformation."
"But you did it easily, didn't you?" the girl asked, somewhat unconvinced.
"Easy?
No, I didn’t do it easily.
Where you can't see me, I spend much more time and energy than you think.
Remember, in the field of magic, there is no such thing as a genius who can learn it without hard work.
Whether a wizard is powerful or not is always directly proportional to his efforts in studying magic."
Zuo Si warned solemnly.
Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, he is the kind of genius who can learn anything at once.
But what about in reality?
Even with the help of the planeswalker's ability [Thinking Library] and the [Eye of Knowledge] given by Ogma, Zuo Si spent several months in systematic study at the beginning.
His study is not just a few hours a day like ordinary wizards, but a continuous process 24 hours a day.
These few months are even comparable to other people's years or even ten or even decades.
What's more, Zuo Si didn't start from scratch, but experienced two worlds one after another, laying a solid theoretical foundation for magic.
"Then can you teach me some tricks?"
Hermione obviously knew something about Zuo Si not sleeping at all at night, so she immediately put away her bad mood due to repeated failures and began to humbly ask for advice.
"Tell me, what is the essence of the transformation spell?" Zuo Si raised his head and looked into the girl's eyes and asked.
