Lan Luo had given up hope for the second semester, looking at the various book titles on the reading list, all by the same author, Gilderoy Lockhart, a charlatan of the Wizarding World.
He didn't want to waste his time on such meaningless courses, though there were a few useful spells in them, which Gilderoy Lockhart had obtained by controlling other wizards with the Imperius Curse and then written into his books.
The Memory Charm. Through continuous practice of this cunning spell, he successfully tampered with the memories of over a dozen brave and accomplished wizards, using their heroic deeds to achieve fame and fortune for himself.
After each 'adventure,' Lockhart would return to England with a new book ready for publication, each book recounting 'his' brave exploits with numerous fictional details.
Within ten years of leaving school, Lockhart became a best-selling author with a series of autobiographical books and his reputation as the world's expert in Defense Against the Dark Arts.
He even received the Order of Merlin, Third Class, became an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Force League, and—claiming to have engaged in many dangerous and brutal battles with werewolves and banshees without his looks ever changing—won the 'Most Charming Smile Award' from Witch Weekly five times in a row.
'Standard Book of Spells, Grade 2': Systematically studies Grade 2 magic spells, a basic textbook for second-year magic classes.
'Break with a Banshee': Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook, discusses how to deal with banshees and other dark creatures.
'Gadding with Ghouls': Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook, focuses on defense methods against ghouls and other dark creatures.

The next day, Lan Luo's magic ring also received messages from Harry and the others.
Opening the projection, he found that the three little ones were all asking Lan Luo if he wanted to go to Diagon Alley to buy books.
Lan Luo, not surprisingly, agreed to go to Diagon Alley with them.
The three little ones were excitedly talking about how they spent their holidays, only Harry was looking down.
They were all communicating through the magic ring now, so Dobby hadn't intercepted Harry's letters.
Everything else was the same as before; Dobby had burst into Harry's life, offending Mr. Mason, his uncle's biggest client.
Just like in the original story, Harry was locked in his aunt's house by his uncle, and even the windows had security bars, but these were not for preventing thieves, but to keep Harry from leaving the cupboard under the stairs.
When Harry saw his uncle targeting him like this, he felt terrible.
Finally, he had no choice but to contact Lan Luo through the magic ring's ability; he had heard Lan Luo say that the magic ring had the ability to teleport, but visiting someone's home still required first asking the host's attitude.
Lan Luo was not surprised to receive Harry's contact; he had anticipated all of this before he returned home, just not that it would come so quickly.
Ron and Hermione, knowing Harry was going to visit Lan Luo, also contacted Lan Luo, wanting to visit the Sky Villa Lan Luo had mentioned.
They had been to the magical Diagon Alley and the Forbidden Forest with many magical creatures, but they had never been to a villa in the sky, so the three little ones were very curious.
The next day, when Ron and Hermione contacted Lan Luo, they appeared in Lan Luo's Sky Villa the next second.
Harry had contacted Lan Luo to come over the previous night, but it was too late, so Lan Luo told Harry to wash up and go to sleep.
"Wow, so cool, it's incredible, Lan Luo, I haven't seen you in a holiday, I didn't expect you could really build such a luxurious villa."
Ron fell in love with Lan Luo's villa the moment he saw it; the villa in the water was full of a sense of tranquility.
There were also white dolphins swimming in groups in the water, and above the high waterfall in the sky, there was a giant tree, a species he had never seen before.
Tsuru circled this tree, and there were many griffin nests on the tree.
Hermione also gasped in surprise when she saw this, and after a long while, she said, "This is the Sky Villa you mentioned, it's too beautiful, can I stay here for a while?"
After a holiday, Hermione saw Lan Luo and felt that his aura was even more attractive.
His formerly handsome features had now become even more charming, which reminded her of the Veela bloodline mentioned in books, but Lan Luo was just a wizard.
"Won't your parents have any objections? After all, you're still so young, living in my house.
Harry, however, can stay with me until school starts."
Lan Luo shrugged carelessly.
Hearing Lan Luo's words, everyone felt it made sense; Harry was also not suitable to continue staying at his aunt's house now.
Harry had only seen the outside for a while last night before he went to rest; he felt safe at Lan Luo's place.
"What animal is that?" At this moment, Harry, strolling through Lan Luo's villa, pointed to a panda next to the bamboo forest and asked.
"That's Kuma, a magical creature unique to the East."
Lan Luo also enthusiastically introduced him.
Hermione, seeing this fluffy animal, also had no resistance at all, going straight up to it, and after thinking for a moment, asked Lan Luo, "Can I touch him?"
At this moment, Kuma suddenly put his paws on his hips and his voice came over: "Little girl doesn't like others touching me, only my master can."
This was a young little girl.
"He, how can he talk?" Ron also asked curiously at this moment, clearly startled by this little panda, knowing that animals in the Wizarding World were not known to talk, unless he was an Animagus.
Little girl then proudly said, "This is the power Master gave us, not only allowing us to talk but also allowing us to learn magic."
Hermione then asked Lan Luo, "Is this really not an Animagus?"
"Of course not, all the animals here have the ability to speak."
Lan Luo saw that these magical creatures didn't have any special abilities; they weren't as fast as a Thunderbird, nor did they have the immortality of a Phoenix; they were just a bit stronger than ordinary animals.
Now Lan Luo also thought of the Basilisk's petrifying ability.
Harry then continued, "Lan Luo, if you publicize this magic, then the Wizarding World will stir up another wave."
He wanted to remind Lan Luo, after all, Lan Luo was one of his few good friends.
"When school starts, I will sell magic rings and ravenclaw's diadem at school, of course, only limited to the school.
I believe the Ministry of Magic will slowly discover how useful the magic ring is."
In fact, Lan Luo was now thinking about how to change the Wizarding World.
Just like Lan Luo's feeling the first time he stepped into Hogwarts, despite so many developments applicable to human progress, they were all rejected by the Ministry of Magic's directives, and those Pure-blood families attempted to restrict the development of others through suppression.
