"Okay, time's up, everyone stop writing."

"Rest for 5 minutes now. After 5 minutes, I will ask some simple questions based on the information you filled in."

After Lockhart finished speaking, he saw all the squibs put down their quills, then waved his wand and took back all the test papers and quills.

He lowered his head and started to read the answers written by everyone.

After all, it was a questionnaire, and there weren't too many questions. Lockhart made a rough judgment after just scanning it a few times.

The Squibs below looked a little nervous as they watched Professor Lockhart in front of them check their test papers.

None of them want to lose these opportunities.

They even thought of writing some false information to improve their own value, which only made Professor Lockhart look at them differently.

result

The black writing suddenly turned red, scaring them to stop writing immediately.

Hurry up and write down your true thoughts.

Strangely enough, after asking them to write down their true thoughts, they found that their handwriting turned black again.

They couldn't help but secretly marvel.

In fact, with so many quills, it would be impossible for Lockhart to refine them all into magic items.

Not only was it a waste of time, it was also a waste of his energy.

He just put some magic spell on it.

The curse is not directed at the brush, but at the user.

Whenever they try to lie, they feel the words they write turn red.

It has an effect similar to psychological suggestion.

Naturally, the basic authenticity of the questionnaire can be guaranteed.

As time passed by, all the little wizards looked more or less nervous, clenching their fists subconsciously and staring closely at Professor Lockhart sitting at the front.

Soon, Lockhart read all the test papers and made a rough judgment about this group of Squibs.

Later, it’s time to ask some questions on the spot.

"Okay, the 5-minute break has passed. In the next 25 minutes, I will ask some questions. If you are willing to answer them, you can raise your hand to apply."

"Similarly, I want to hear your true inner thoughts. You can say less or even not at all, but you must not deceive."

As soon as Lockhart's voice fell, all the Squibs nodded to express their understanding.

"The first question is, what do you think is the most essential difference between wizards and squibs? What changes will happen when you become wizards?"

As soon as Lockhart asked the question, Ian, who was facing him, immediately raised his hand.

Looking at Ian, recalling the questionnaire he just filled out, he nodded slightly.

"Ian, you do the talking."

"Okay, Professor." Ian stood up, pondered for a moment, as if he was organizing words, and said, "Professor, I think the most fundamental difference between a wizard and a squib is the mastery of magic, or force."

"For an ordinary wizard, if he wants to kill a Muggle or a Squib, it can be said to be easy."

"A random fire spell, so the defenseless Squib loses his life."

Speaking of this, Ian's tone was mixed with a hint of emotion.

"And when we become wizards, the biggest change is that the previous contempt for squibs will be far away."

"We will enjoy all the rights that a normal wizard should enjoy. For example, we can enter some places that Squibs are not allowed to enter."

"We can choose to practice spells, use magic items, refine potions, etc."

Speaking of this, Ian's face was filled with longing.

Hearing what Ian said, the Squibs around them nodded in agreement. As the lowest level of the wizarding world, most of them were discriminated against by the wizards.

Lockhart, on the other hand, nodded noncommittally, motioned for Ian to sit down, and then continued to ask: "Do you have any other ideas?"

Soon, a well-dressed female squib raised her hand. Lockhart recalled her name through a simple search, then gently tapped it with his wand: "Rika, tell me."

"Professor Lockhart, I think the most essential difference between wizards and squibs lies in the purity of wizard blood." Rika replied seriously: "My father is a potion master. Because of my problem, he has studied it specifically and has also worked with me. I mentioned it."

"The reason why I don't have magical riots is because my wizard bloodline is not pure enough, so I can't become a wizard."

"When we become a wizard, we will be able to develop our own bloodline. We can purify our bloodline and improve our strength."

"At that time, whatever we want to learn about spells, alchemy, potions, etc. can be done."

After hearing this, Lockhart nodded slightly, without praising or commenting, and continued to ask the Squib, "Do you have any other ideas?"

Soon, some dumb guns raised their hands one after another.

Lockhart took their thoughts seriously to heart.

He asked everyone questions. On the one hand, he wanted to see what Squib thought about becoming a wizard.

After all, he had no experience with squibs before, so he couldn't say he was completely sure of their ideas.

Knowing something about it will also help you adjust your plans later.

Squibs are his future base, and he must have a deep understanding of them before he can activate them.

On the other hand, it is also by asking questions to prepare a list for your own talent pool.

Although he mentioned before that he would only select 100 squibs as research assistants.

But these 100 squibs will be completely exposed, and will be focused on by various forces in the wizarding world, such as pure-blood families and Dumbledore.

At the same time, every move he makes towards his research assistant will be fully analyzed.

This will undoubtedly tie up some of his hands and feet.

Moreover, if you want to stabilize your basic base, you cannot do it with just 100 squibs, you need more people.

In other words, the number of wizards born as squibs will increase.

The best way, of course, is for him to privately train some Squibs as his students and help them grow.

Then let them continue to secretly train new squibs to become wizards, and this cycle continues to stabilize the basic base.

This type of students will be the core pillars of the new magic system.

He can confidently and boldly invest resources, cultivate and grow talents, and teach them some of his ideas and new magic.

Thus laying the foundation for reforming the wizarding world.

Malfoy family, Great Hall.

At this moment, Lucius Malfoy was sitting on the sofa, poured half a glass of red wine, raised it, and motioned to the pure-blood wizard of the Parkinson family opposite.

Cain Parkinson was wearing a dark green wizard robe, with the coat of arms of the Parkinson family tattooed on his chest with light golden threads. Matching his handsome and mature face, he exuded a touch of nobility.

Kane Parkinson also raised the red wine in his hand, shook it slightly, and took a sip.

Then he asked with some expectation: "Lucius, can we talk about your plan now?"

"I have also seen the effects of meditation."

"If it could be in our hands, the benefits would be immeasurable."

Lucius Malfoy smiled and said: "Kain, don't worry, we have to wait for a lady to come over."

"Our plan requires her cooperation."

After hearing this, Kain's eyes lit up and he slowly tasted the red wine in the glass without saying much.

after awhile.

boom!

The magic fireplace not far away flashed green light, and with the slight burst of green flames, a figure quietly emerged.

At the same time, Lucius stood up and said to Kain.

"Let's welcome Ms. Rita Skeeter!"
