Taking their taunting voices as a unique way of greeting him with cheers, Lockhart began the speaking session he was most familiar with, selling himself.
But his half-hour self-absorbed speech annoyed not just the little wizards.
Because of his unbridled speech, several professors around him already showed dissatisfaction with him.
Just when the little wizards were about to rise up and beat up the shameless liar in front of them, Dumbledore interrupted Lockhart's performance.
"Okay, Professor Lockhart, it's time for us to start the banquet."
Lockhart, who was already extremely high, didn't want to end his speech at this time, but seeing the serious expression on Dumbledore's face, he could only sit down obediently.
After all, his control was still in Dumbledore's hands, and Lockhart still followed his heart.
Seeing that Lockhart finally stopped talking, the hungry little wizards had no choice but to vent their disgust towards him on the delicious food on the table.
……
"Cousin, Harry, the savior of Gryffindor, and his henchman Ron don't seem to have come to the party. I think they must have done bad things again."
Draco, who was sitting next to Noel, came closer. From the time he got on the magic train to now, Draco had been looking for Harry. He missed Harry a little after not seeing him for a month. Draco, I have some great news for Harry.
Because Lucius used Oblivion, Draco forgot what happened after he was brought to Noel's house by his father, but from then on, he felt that Cousin Noel became less and less annoying.
"If you don't want to deduct points from the college, just eat your food. I remember that you haven't made up for the points you deducted last semester."
Noel rolled his eyes at Draco who was leaning over, replied rudely, and then continued to eat the food on the table.
Seeing that Noel ignored him, Draco could only talk to his other half, Goyle, bragging about where he had gone this summer and what funny things he had encountered.
Without Draco's interruption, Noel continued to eat the dinner in front of him. Although he had become a senior wizard apprentice and could not eat to replenish energy, the temptation of delicious food was not something ordinary people could resist.
……
Regarding what happened this semester, Noel did not intend to interfere too much, or in other words, he did not consider interfering at all. He just wanted to wait until he finally got the basilisk's body. The rest didn't matter. No matter whether he would kill someone, as long as He Min is fine, he doesn't care about other people.
He, Noel Black, is a crazy wife protector!
……
This semester, Noel has two goals in Hogwarts school. The first is to establish a mutual learning seminar and strive to cultivate a group of wizards who can be loyal to him without being controlled by a "mark".
If he had been using the "mark" to subdue his subordinates, there would seem to be no hidden dangers now, but there might be an accident when he invades another world in the future, causing these subordinates with the "mark" to rebel against him.
Even if the chance of an accident happening is only one in a billion, Noel doesn't dare to take chances.
Therefore, it is imperative to cultivate a group of subordinates who are loyal to him.
The second is to study wolfsbane, trying to find out the mechanism of wolfsbane infecting people, the reason for its irreversible transformation, and the connection between werewolves and the moon, and why they will go crazy and transform as long as the moon is full.
Noel was not suddenly interested in studying werewolf venom. It was wolfsbane that infected ordinary people and transformed them into werewolves. This made Noel very curious. If the mechanism of this transformation characteristic of wolfsbane could be understood. , control this characteristic.
Then you can create a magical version of a biochemical weapon based on its transformation mechanism, laying a little foundation for the arsenal of weapons for future invasions of other worlds.
Although the Source World has not sprouted yet, there is no need to consider "artificial fertilization" (letting the world of Hogwarts devour other worlds).
It can be said that it is still a little early to make these preparations, but for Noel, the earlier preparations will give him more peace of mind, and the more "facilities" used for "artificial fertilization", the better.
……
The first-term banquet was over, and Harry and Ron, whom Draco cared about most, did not appear at the Gryffindor table.
Because Snape, McGonagall, and Dumbledore left early, the banquet ended early.
The prefects of each house began to bring this year's new students back to the common room of the house, and Noel also escaped from his many admirers and came to his potions room.
"I thought you were surrounded by a bunch of beautiful school girls and had forgotten about me."
Hermione had been waiting here for a long time. Looking at Noel who had arrived late, she couldn't help but feel a sore nose and become jealous.
"How is that possible!!! Hermione is the only most important person in my heart!"
Noel was used to Hermione, who had entered puberty, showing a little temper from time to time.
The reason why she is like this is because she has you in her heart.
Noel understands this very well.
"Humph!"
Hermione rolled her eyes at the smooth-talking Noel, said nothing, and continued to help Noel organize the materials used in the preparation of the potions in his cabinet.
Some she recognized, and some she bet the wizards in the entire wizarding world didn't know what they were.
After locking the potion room door from the inside, Noel also walked over to Hermione and worked with her to sort out the potion materials that Kreacher had sent him.
There are so many that they take up one-tenth of the space of a potion room.
The two of them did not make a sound, but they tidied up the entire potion room in a very tacit understanding, and put the materials piled on the ground in Noel's medicine cabinet in a reasonable and orderly manner according to their preservation methods.
……
"Are you really going?"
After a long time, Hermione looked at Noel, with tears of reluctance in her eyes.
“Since I came back from the last other world, I have been stuck in the high-level wizard apprenticeship bottleneck for a month. I have thought a lot during this month.
Although my ancestor has always strengthened the power of my bloodline, he intentionally allowed me to pry into the secret of my bloodline and thus be promoted to an official wizard.
But this is not the path I want to take. My path as a wizard is the path of the soul, the path of truth, and the path of omniscience and omnipotence. "
Faced with Hermione's request to stay, Noel expressed his true thoughts.
Although the bloodline is good, it is not what Noel wants to pursue.
When he saw Hermione about to cry because she was worried about her own safety, Noel's heart also burst out with inexplicable emotions, and his emotions were tempting him to give up this plan.
"Then be careful. After you go there, wait for a month. When the key to the world gate can be used, you can go ahead with your plan. In this way, if you encounter a threat, you can still escape safely. come back to me."
