Early in the morning, in the auditorium on the first floor of Hogwarts.
Swarms of owls flew overhead, then dive-bombed various letters and packages in front of the students' desks.
Some of them are thrown more accurately and will be caught directly by the recipient with both hands, while others are thrown more casually and end up falling into the breakfast container of bread or milk.
Especially letters, once dropped into a plate or cup containing soup or liquid, it often becomes very difficult to handle.
Many students who were busy processing the wet letters had expressions of disgust and disgust on their faces.
As usual, Zuo Si received a thick stack of letters as usual, as well as more than a dozen samples and gifts, as he had established long-term and stable communication channels with many well-known wizards around the world.
As a person with a photographic memory and a quick glance, he read all the new letters in just a few minutes.
Especially the letter from Dolores Umbridge of the Ministry of Magic brought a meaningful and playful smile to Zuo Si's face.
Because what he is best at dealing with is this kind of person who is completely corrupted by power and wealth and has no bottom line.
It would be great if we could use the other party's help to dig out all the secrets hidden in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic, as well as a large number of the most precious, rarest, and most dangerous magical knowledge and related items in the world.
As for the position of Minister of Magic that Dolores Umbridge wants, Zuo Si doesn't mind making a promise at all and will help with the operation a little bit.
Anyway, one day is considered a day, and whether he will be kicked out quickly at that time has nothing to do with him.
He has always had a flexible moral bottom line when it comes to fulfilling his promises.
"You know, Soth, the smile on your face now is very treacherous, just like those evil villains in the movies." Hermione couldn't help but remind her in a low voice.
"Oh? Really, it seems good to be a villain.
At least in my opinion, the villains in many movies are much more charming than the protagonists.
The villains in many classic movies are far more idealistic, aware, and capable of taking practical actions than the protagonists, and they are eager to change this world full of injustice.
The most important thing is that they often rely on their own smart minds and a series of sophisticated and complex plans, rather than relying entirely on luck and boring personal heroism like the protagonist."
Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders indifferently and burned Umbridge's letter to ashes with a magic point.
It was obviously the first time for the girl to hear this argument, and she was stunned for a long time without being able to recover.
But after a while, she recalled the many classic movies she had watched, especially the villains played by veteran actors. They were indeed full of a very bad but very attractive charm, and then she thought deeply.
’s nodded.
"Okay, I have to admit that what you said makes sense, but only for those characters who are both good and evil, rather than completely bad bastards."
Zuo Si responded with a smile: "Of course! Take the magic world as an example. If you read the history of modern magic carefully, you will find that the famous dark wizard who set off a revolutionary wave that swept across Europe during World War II - Geller
Grindelwald actually won the support of quite a lot of people at the time,
It is said that anyone who listens to his speech will not be able to help but have a strong admiration for him and believe that it is a great cause worthy of giving everything and even life for it.
So this is what you would call a charming villain who is both good and evil.
Compared with Gellert Grindelwald, Voldemort is obviously more than one level behind.
He neither has grand ideals to change the way society or the world operates, nor does he have the charisma of the former to win thousands of supporters with a single speech.
You can only rely on low-grade violence, killing, death and fear to make everyone fear you, and gain their support by advocating pure blood theory and giving those pure blood families more power.
Voldemort was unable to create new order and prosperity, and could only bring endless chaos, turmoil, and unrest. He was on the opposite side of most wizards, so it is not surprising that he would eventually fail.
As for our savior Harry Potter, he only played a little promoting role.
That’s why I always emphasize that when you consider a problem, you should start from the overall situation, observe from a higher perspective, and then draw your own conclusions.
Because most wizards have a narrow perspective, limited to the magical world.
But most of the planet we live on is occupied by people without magic, and they are the real masters of the world."
"You seem to admire Gellert Grindelwald very much?" Hermione asked in an uncertain tone.
"It's not about admiring, but 100% approval of his proposal to break the secrecy bill and establish a concept where wizards will rule the world.
At least under the rule of wizards, there will be no more invasion, colonization, plunder and genocide on earth.
Any act of a big country using its powerful military power to humiliate a small country, or even directly subverting the other party's regime without concealment, will be completely prohibited.
Greedy and bottomless capital will also be curbed, instead of using financial tools to unscrupulously plunder the resources and wealth of backward countries in order to make profits.
Although this may lead to the birth of a new ruling class, I think compared to the current world of competing with each other, it doesn't hurt to let the wizards give it a try.
At least there is no original sin among the wizards. Even the relationship between the Ministry of Magic of various countries is more harmonious than that of the Muggle governments, and not even a war has ever broken out.
In addition, the confrontation between Gellert Grindelwald and Principal Dumbledore is not actually the so-called "battle between good and evil" that many people understand, but is closer to a battle of ideas and lines.
Neither side even had the intention of killing each other in the final duel.

It's a pity that in the end, due to some personal reasons, maybe he suddenly softened his heart or maybe his feelings were lingering, he finally chose to admit defeat."
When saying these words, Zuo Si did not hide his regret at all.
Because that was the last chance for wizards to replace Muggles as the rulers of the world, and even transform the earth into a magical world.
If Grindelwald had succeeded, who knows, after fusing magic and technology in the past few decades, a large number of complex intelligent robots similar to constructs would have appeared, or magical spaceships that could travel in the vast universe would have been created.
.
At this moment, Zuo Si could increasingly understand why many ancient planeswalkers were often lonely, and would not even return to their hometowns for hundreds or even thousands of years.
With the power of sparks, they have been to countless places and seen various civilizations. They have seen deeper and further than their compatriots in their hometown who were bound to a small world.
And this gap has reached a point where it cannot be described in words.
Of course, Zuo Si, who just became a planeswalker, is far from reaching that level, but the difference in thinking has begun to slowly show up.
Fortunately, Hermione was used to Zuo Si often saying some shocking views. After the brief shock, she quickly regained her composure. She picked up the cup and drank the rest of the milk in one go. She licked her lips and said, "I never
I have read in the book that Greenwald did not die after his defeat, but was imprisoned in the prison of Nurmengard Castle. If you are interested in him, you may consider finding an opportunity to meet him."
"I will, but not now. By the way, I remember you said that you don't like dairy products. Why did you suddenly start drinking milk recently?" Zuo Si glanced at the girl next to him with a surprised look.
"Well - of course it's to supplement calcium and increase height." Hermione replied with a slightly guilty tone.
But when she said this, her eyes subconsciously glanced down at her chest, which was not very obvious, and at the plump bust of another senior female student not far away.
Zuo Si was keenly aware of these small movements. He immediately raised the corners of his mouth slightly and handed over the glass of milk in front of him. He said with a half-smile: "Then drink my glass. After all, it is bigger...I mean taller."
, can make you more feminine."
Instantly!
Hermione's face turned red when her little thoughts were spied on. She hurriedly raised the cup and tried to drink all the milk in one go to hide her panic and nervousness.
But because he drank too fast, he accidentally choked. Not only did he vomit all over the table, but he also coughed uncontrollably, attracting a lot of attention from around him.
Especially when he saw Zuo Si patting the girl's back with his hand, Ron, who had never had anything go his way since school started, felt an inexplicable jealousy. He couldn't help but say to his friends: "Damn it!
Look at the two of them, actually making love to each other in public, they don’t even know what shame is.”
"Do you still have the mind to care about other things now?"
Harry, who had two black panda eyes on his side, asked angrily.
Since yesterday's Potions class ended, he had been tossing and turning all night, unable to sleep, and his mind was filled with imagining the horrific scenes Zuo Si had described.
It wasn't until about three o'clock in the morning that I finally fell asleep, but I had an extremely real and terrifying nightmare.
In the dream, his mother not only married Snape, but also gave birth to several brothers and sisters. He had to call the person he hated most "father".
Especially the expression on Snape's face was exactly the same as in Potions class.
"Okay, maybe you're right, there's a Charms class today, and I should be worried about whether this wand is working properly."
With that said, Ron retracted his jealousy, lowered his head and looked at the wand in his hand that was broken at the beginning of the new semester and later taped together, and couldn't help but sigh.
There is no doubt that this year will definitely be a hellish start for him.
On the first day of school, because he failed to pass platform nine and three-quarters, he had to drive the flying car his father secretly made with magic to rush to school.
Not only was he nearly hit by a roaring train along the way, but he was attacked by the Whomping Willow after landing, and he managed to save his life.
As a result, before he could celebrate his recovery, he was caught by the most annoying Snape.
Although the whole process was full of weirdness, apart from being punished with confinement, I was not expelled from school as expected.
But early the next morning, a snarling letter from his mother made Ron completely stand out in front of the whole school, causing him to die socially on the spot.
