Standing in front of the Transfiguration classroom, even though he was almost late, Lester didn't open the door. Instead, he stood calmly at the entrance.

Kitty, who was behind him, immediately reacted and respectfully opened the door for Lester.

"Brother Lai, please!"

Lester nodded slightly and swaggered into the Transfiguration classroom, followed by his three lackeys who followed him in with Lester expressions.

There was no teacher in the classroom, and a group of eleven or twelve-year-old children had no self-control whatsoever; many of them were whispering to each other.

Hogwarts classes are generally taught in large lecture format, meaning that students of the same year from both houses usually attend classes together.

For example, Slytherin often attend classes with Gryffindor, while Hufflepuff mostly attend classes with Ravenclaw House.

Lester's dashing entrance immediately drew everyone's attention in the classroom.

They were all eleven or twelve years old, the age when they were jealous and wanted to show off. Even the Slytherin, known for their deep cunning, were still just little kids. What cunning did they have?

Therefore, many students looked on with envy when they saw Lester enter like a mafia boss.

Lester swaggered ahead, followed by Jiedi and his two companions, heads held high, looking like gangsters with eyes full of pride.

"That Lester guy is such a show-off!" Malfoy, sitting in the front row, had a dark face. He looked at the two big idiots next to him, and then at the three spirited girls behind Lester. He felt a sense of disappointment and frustration.

As a nobleman, Malfoy naturally knew the secrets of showing off. Why did he always bring Goyle and Crabbe along, even though he clearly looked down on them? It was because they could be his lackeys, doing whatever he told them to do.

And when he went out, Goyle and Crabbe stood on either side of him behind him, looking incredibly handsome.

But when faced with the Slytherin quartet from Upper Lester, Malfoy knew he needed to update his pretentious tactics.

"Brother Lai, there are no seats left at the front of the classroom. Let's sit in the back," Miti suggested, looking at the front rows of the classroom, which were already full of students.

Since it was the first class, and it was an interesting one like Transfiguration, many young wizards were very enthusiastic about learning the course, and the front row seats were basically full of excited little wizards.

"Alright," Lester pondered for a moment, then nodded indifferently. In truth, with his abilities, it didn't matter where he sat; there was no need to worry about whether he sat in the front row or not.

In the back row of the classroom, Ron Weasley looked at Lester and his three friends, who were standing motionless in the middle of the classroom, with a mocking expression. He whispered to Harry, "Just you wait, they're late. No matter how arrogant they are, they'll still have to sit in the back!"

Harry wasn't in the mood to listen to Ron Weasley; he was starting to doubt whether he'd made a mistake in his attitude towards Lester.

Lester's sorting into Slytherin wasn't something he could decide. Besides, even if he were sorted into Slytherin and befriended the young Slytherin wizards, could they not be good people?

Lester happened to meet one of the few kind wizards in Slytherin, and they became friends.

"That's right, Lester must be a good guy," Harry said confidently, muttering to himself, "Good people don't become friends with bad people, so those Slytherin just seem arrogant, but they haven't done anything to hurt their classmates, so they're not necessarily bad guys!"

Ron Weasley, on the other hand, didn't think much of it. Instead, he grabbed a screwdriver with a ferocious expression and started twisting the empty seat next to him.

"Ron Weasley, what are you doing?" Harry snapped out of his daze and looked at Ron Weasley, who was frantically loosening the chair, asking somewhat intimidatedly, "Why are you twisting that chair for no reason?"

Ron Weasley chuckled. "I'll give Lester and his Slytherin companions a surprise!"

Harry, somewhat confused, asked blankly, "What does that have to do with you twisting the chair? Does the chair have a grudge against you?"

Ron Weasley didn't answer, but just rolled his eyes at Harry. He didn't want to explain; although Harry was indeed a good person, he was still too kind.

The classroom is only so big, and there are four of them, including Lester. If there's an empty seat next to him, they'll definitely move over. And then... hehehe...

Ron Weasley couldn't help but let out a lewd grin.

In the middle aisle of the classroom, Lester was about to turn around and walk to the back row when he saw his first henchman Jiedi, standing there inscrutable, not moving an inch.

"Brother Lai, who said there aren't any seats at the front of the classroom? Aren't there four seats there?"

Jiedi appeared calm on the surface, but inside she was panicking. She was clearly Lester's number one girl, and she was the one who came first, so why were Kitty and Miti fawning over Lester like that?

Feeling threatened by his status as Lester's top henchman, Jiedi decided to curry favor with him.

After serving as Lester's henchman for two days, the clever Jiedi believed he had figured out Lester's personality.

On the surface, Lester always pretends to be an equal partner, but in reality, he loves to show off more than anyone else. After all, how could a man who's always ready to risk his life be as perfect as he appears on the surface?

Since Brother Lai likes to show off, I have to help him show off. As long as Brother Lai is happy, my status as his number one henchman will be secure.

Looking in the direction Jiedi was pointing, there were no empty seats in the front row of the classroom. There were four Slytherin wizards sitting there very seriously, and the seats around them were all full. It didn't look like there were any empty seats at all.

Lester couldn't help but roll up his sleeves, barely suppressing the urge to slap Jiedi, and said, "There are clearly four classmates there, do you think I'm blind?"

Despite Lester's questioning, Jiedi remained unfazed and confidently replied, "Lester, they'll be leaving soon!"

Without waiting for Lester's reaction, Jiedi darted over.

All eyes in the classroom were now focused on Jiedi. The domineering strides of Lester and his three companions when they entered had already drawn the students' attention, and now they were eager to see what Jiedi was up to.

Noticing the gazes in the classroom, Jiedi became even more smug. Even as a child, Jiedi had a desire to show off. Moreover, he not only loved to show off but was also incredibly immature, always wanting to be the school's top dog.

With Lester above him, he definitely can't be the boss anymore, but he can still bully others.
