Hogwarts Collector, I cast a spell with the Eye of God
Chapter 1: Street Magician in London
Trafalgar Square, London, 1990
The bustling crowd formed a big circle, all of them were young people who came out to have fun.
The gathered crowd and cheers attracted more and more passers-by like a magnet.
Surrounded in the center is a young boy of about ten years old.
He had black hair and black eyes, and was particularly handsome, a typical oriental face, but he was dressed in a standard jazz outfit – a white pleated shirt with a black tank top over it, paired with a black cape with a red background, a ring with a red gem on his right hand, and a black top hat on his head, showing his chic demeanor.
At this moment, a deck of cards seemed to come alive, flying and jumping between his nimble fingers.
Shuffling, cutting and pulling the cards, each movement was performed with extreme skill. The playing cards seemed to have turned into fluttering butterflies, drawing cheers and thunderous applause from the surrounding audience.
Finally, the boy slammed the whole deck of cards on the table, making a crisp “pop” sound.
“Beautiful lady,”
The boy spread his hands to show that he had no hidden cards, then smiled and said to the brown-haired girl in front of him, “Please turn over the top card.”
The little girl, who was about the same age as the boy, was also one of the onlookers.
She had just been chosen by the boy to cooperate with the magic trick, and was now carefully picking up a card from the top of the deck.
When she saw the cards, her eyes widened and her face was full of surprise.
“Come on, show me the cards in your hand and the note you wrote earlier.” The boy said easily, “Let everyone see if the pattern on the cards is the same as the animal you wrote.”
Yes yes.
The girl’s voice was trembling. Like a robot, she mechanically raised the cards in her hand.
There were no numbers or patterns on it, but a cute white cartoon cat head pattern.
Then she took out a note from her pocket that she had written three minutes ago, on which was written “Cat” in beautiful handwriting.
Then, it caused a burst of exclamations that did not live up to everyone’s expectations:
“Wow, this is amazing!”
“Why is it a cat pattern? How did he do it?”
“Could there be someone who is his shill in the crowd?”
“That’s impossible! It’s just a normal deck of playing cards. How can it be a cat?”
“I’ve already told you that Magician Linnie is the best magician ever!”
“Linnie, good job!”

The atmosphere at the scene was instantly ignited and the audience cheered for the boy named Linny.
“Thank you, thank you for your love.”
The boy held his hat and bowed gracefully.
“According to the original plan, today’s performance should have ended here.”
He looked around and continued:
“But this lady, like me, has a special liking for cats. This is indeed a rare fate. So I decided to perform another magic trick for everyone.”
The boy showed the top hat in his hand to the audience and then put it on the ground.
Then he looked at the girl and a charming smile appeared on his face, “Well, can you put that card in the hat?”
Seeing such a handsome peer smiling at her, the girl was a little dazed for a moment, until her father patted her gently on the back, and she came to her senses.
“Oh…ok.” She put the cards into the hat shyly.
“Thank you for your cooperation, lovely lady.”
The boy’s voice was full of charm, and he kissed her hand in an exaggerated manner.
It made the girl’s cheeks even redder and her heartbeat quicken.
Then the boy took off his cloak and covered his hat with it, then waited quietly for five seconds.
The scene suddenly fell into a brief silence.
“Then next is the moment to witness a miracle.”
He flung open his cloak, and a white-and-gold kitten emerged gracefully from his hat.
It has a pair of bright purple eyes and a star-shaped mark on its face, which makes it look very cute.
There is a big green plaid bow tied behind the kitten’s neck, and in the center of the bow is a crystal green glass bead, sparkling with charming light.
All the characteristics of the kitten are exactly the same as the cat on the previous card.
The cat actually came out of the card!
The next moment, the crowd erupted in applause and cheers that were ten times louder than the last time.
“Amazing~!”
That s amazing!
“This guy is a genius!”
I love your performance!
“Thank you everyone, today’s performance is really over!”
The boy bowed to everyone, announcing the end of today’s performance.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and many people threw money into the hat on the ground, mostly 10, 20, and 50 pence coins, and occasionally one pound, two pound coins and five pound notes.
Whenever someone gave him a tip, the boy would express his gratitude, and the white cat would nod to the giver or even wave cutely with its little paws.
The cat’s cute and human-like appearance undoubtedly further ignited the audience’s enthusiasm for giving rewards.
Many people were clearly preparing to leave, but when they saw this scene they came up to give some tips, just to see the cat thank them.
Of course, cats are not reluctant to show their cuteness to them.
However, whenever someone tries to touch the cat, it always dodges quickly.
This perfect coolness makes it even more likable.
After the crowd had completely dispersed, the boy began to organize the magic props and the money he had earned.
In fact, what he called organizing was just throwing things into the hat all at once, playing cards, scarves, roses, coins that didn’t go into the hat… In short, there was no classification at all, and he didn’t care about the size of the things.
And this hat is like a bottomless pit. No matter how much stuff is stuffed into it, it never seems to be full.
Soon, the boy threw the last coin into the hat and then put it on his head in a dashing manner.
During the whole process, nothing spilled out of the top hat, as if all the items stuffed into the hat had entered another space.
The boy stood up and was about to leave. The white cat immediately jumped up lightly and climbed skillfully up the boy’s trouser leg onto his shoulder.
The boy smiled dotingly, “Okay, okay, I’ll carry you. You little lazy guy, you’re starting to enter energy-saving mode again…”
In this way, the man and the cat strolled on the street, and the boy chatted with the cat as they walked.
“We made a lot of money this time, at least 150 pounds. You’ve worked so hard, Linnet.”
Meow~!
“Come to think of it, every time I perform so hard, I only make about a hundred pounds. But you, as long as you act a little cute, the audience will line up to give you money… What kind of world is this?”
Meow~~
“Yes, yes, I am a useless master, and Linnet is the cutest.”
Meow!
“Got it. I’ll buy you your favorite scallops this time, too.”
“Meow!”
“Hey, Linnet, tell me…why have we been here for so long but still can’t find anything to collect? Is that damn system lying to us?”
“Meow?”
“Forget it, forget it. You won’t understand such complicated things even if I tell you. Just be cute.”
The boy sighed and ended the small talk.
That s right, this boy is not a native of this world, but a time traveler.
His name is Ye Ting, and Linni is just his stage name when performing magic.
About eleven years ago, when he was playing a game about the coming of darkness, he suddenly traveled to London in this world and turned into a baby, who was adopted by an orphanage.
As a time traveler, Ye Ting easily got along well in the orphanage and became the king of children who was loved by adults and admired by children.
However, life in the orphanage was not easy either.
Mrs. Thatcher’s neoliberal transformation has further exacerbated the gap between the rich and the poor in the British Empire, the capital of capitalism.
A large number of welfare benefits were cut, a large number of state-owned institutions and enterprises were privatized, and even public welfare institutions such as orphanages suffered.
Fortunately, he is not an ordinary person. He also traveled through time with him and came with a [Great Collector System].
This system is just as the name suggests, as long as he collects anything, he will get a reward.
According to Ye Ting’s attempts, almost anything can be collected by the system.
However, the result of collecting it is that it will disappear forever in the system’s collection space, and then the system will give some rewards in return.
Rewards are usually related to the thing being collected.
For example, Ye Ting once secretly collected an old dining table from an orphanage, and the system swallowed it up and rewarded him with a pile of pine wood.
For example, Ye Ting collected a live chicken, and the system swallowed it and rewarded him with a sweet stuffed chicken.
Finally, Ye Ting came to the conclusion that
The essence of collecting ability is equivalent exchange, but this so-called equivalence is different from what he imagined.
It’s like an exquisite vase and a blue and white porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty, they are equivalent.
An exquisite watch and a bunch of watch parts that have just been manufactured.
It is also something of equivalent value.
Even a sofa and a pile of rotten wood are equivalent things.
The rewards you get after each collection are entirely a matter of luck.
Therefore, relying on the system’s capabilities, Ye Ting privately started a “garbage recycling” business, saved up a small sum of money, and was able to have enough food and clothing every day.
Just when he thought that he would remain like this until adulthood, an accident made him understand the true function of the [Great Collector System].
When he was eight years old, the old cat in the orphanage gave birth to a litter of kittens.
Since the orphanage couldn’t afford to keep so many cats, the madams in the orphanage gave most of them away.
Ye Ting took a fancy to one of the white female cats and secretly adopted it.
Ye Ting still remembers the system’s response at the time:
[Ding! The host has collected the first pet. Rewards include God’s Eye Black Spotted Cat and God’s Eye White Tailed Cat. ]
The young author has started a new journey. The physical track seems to be unworkable, so he will come back to study magic.
The new book is on the way, please give me flowers, review votes, monthly votes, rewards, and all kinds of support!

This was the first time that the system gave him a reward containing extraordinary power.
It was also the first time that the collection was not swallowed up by the system.
It was not until then that Ye Ting realized that this was the true ability of the [Great Collector System].
The things he collected in the past were actually garbage not worth collecting in the system’s tears, so they were swallowed up.
Only truly valuable collections can be exchanged for extraordinary rewards, and only such collections can be preserved.
That s right, collections are collections, collections are collected to be preserved, not to be destroyed.
It was these two divine eyes that allowed Ye Ting to embark on the extraordinary path.
In the continent of Teyvat, it is said that when people’s desires are too strong, they may attract the attention of gods, and then the eyes of gods will be sent down.
[Eye of God] is a specialty from the continent of Teyvat. It is an external magical organ that can guide and control the power of elements.
What Ye Ting obtained was not the blank Eye of God, but the Eye of God with the Seat of Destiny.
This means that Ye Ting can not only obtain the power of the Eye of God, but also obtain the character talents and extraordinary abilities corresponding to the constellation.
For example, now that Ye Ting is bound to [God’s Eye Black-spotted Cat], he automatically possesses Linny’s God’s Eye ability, his agility and various magic skills.
White Cat was the hero who helped Ye Ting obtain the Eye of God. Ye Ting only bound the [Eye of God Black-spotted Cat Seal] to himself and gave the [Eye of God White-tailed Cat Seal] to her as a reward.
At the same time, the name of the original owner of the White-tailed Cat, Linnet, was given to her.
The kitten was reborn after integrating the Eye of God. Not only did it inherit Linnet’s talents and abilities, but it also became full of spirituality, and its intelligence reached the level of a human.
Of course, Ye Ting could feel that as the true owner of the Eye of God, there was an inexplicable connection between Ye Ting and Linnit. Ye Ting could take back the Eye of God at any time, and as long as Linnit had the Eye of God for one day, she would naturally feel intimacy with Ye Ting.
In order to avoid being discovered for his abnormality, Ye Ting quickly left the orphanage quietly and wandered the streets of London with Linnet.
He didn’t want to continue picking up trash, so he made full use of Linny’s expertise and made a living by performing street magic.
It has been two or three years now.
“Hey, Linny… Your name is Linny! How on earth did you guess that I wrote ‘cat’? And how did you conjure up a cat card from an ordinary deck of playing cards?”
Just when Ye Ting was lost in his memories, a clear voice came from behind him, making him stop!
Ye Ting turned around and saw the brown-haired girl standing behind him. She was the girl who had performed with him before.
This is indeed a lovely girl. Her fluffy curly hair makes her face look small. Her pair of green eyes are big and bright, and her facial features are delicate. She gives people a sweet, lovely and spiritual impression.
“And, how did it suddenly appear in that top hat? The top hat was clearly placed on the ground. You couldn’t have hidden some mechanism under the tiles on the side of the road, could you?”
Girls’ curiosity is like a burning flame that is difficult to extinguish.
“It’s you!” Ye Ting said with a smile, “These are all my business secrets, I can’t tell you!”
“But you’ve already finished your performance, so just tell me a little bit.” The girl puffed up her cheeks, “If you don’t tell me, I won’t be able to sleep at night!”
Ye Ting could tell that the girl in front of him must be a stubborn person, so he did not refuse, but said: “The essence of magic lies in its mystery. If I tell you the answer directly, wouldn’t it lose its original charm? Besides, if you can solve this mystery yourself, wouldn’t it make you look smarter?”
What you said seems to make some sense. When the girl heard the word smart , she immediately changed her mind.
“That’s right. When I first saw you, I thought you were a smart girl.”
Ye Ting took the opportunity to promote his performance, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand it the first time. I’ll be performing nearby recently. You can come and support me more often. Who knows, one day you might get a flash of inspiration and see something.”
“Then…what if I watch it several times and still don’t understand it?” Thinking back to Ye Ting’s previous miraculous performance, the girl became a little unconfident again.
“Then maybe I really can do magic.” The boy blinked mischievously, and his handsome appearance dazzled the girl again.
“Oh, by the way, I see you like cats very much. Before you leave, do you want to touch Linnet?” For some reason, Ye Ting always felt that the girl in front of him was inexplicably kind, so he suggested.
“Really… is it possible?” The girl was pleasantly surprised.
After getting Ye Ting’s affirmation, she carefully reached out her hand and gently touched the white cat in Ye Ting’s arms.
“Meow~~”
Linnet rolled over and let out a lazy cry.
Linnet never lets anyone touch her except Ye Ting. Even when she was acting cute and cooperating with Ye Ting’s performance, she would just make a few gestures of thanks and never get close to outsiders.
Therefore, being able to touch Linnet made the girl very excited.
“Your name is Linny, and its name is Linnet,” the girl suddenly realized, “these two names are similar. You must have treated it as a family member to name it like this.”
“You’re right, Linnet is my only family.” Ye Ting looked at the cat in his arms tenderly.
“Ah…I’m sorry.” The girl looked at Ye Ting with eyes instantly filled with heartache.
“It’s okay,” Ye Ting smiled in relief, “Let me tell you a little secret, Linni is just my stage name, my real name is Ye Ting.”
Just then, a voice calling came from not far away. It was the little girl’s parents calling her.
“Go back soon, Miss,” Ye Ting waved to the girl, “I’m going to have dinner too, see you next time.”
“Okay, goodbye, Ye Ting.”
Ye Ting had just taken a few steps when he suddenly heard the girl’s voice behind him:
“By the way, my name is Hermione, Hermione Jean Granger, you must remember my name!”
“Okay, bye Hermione!”
Ye Ting waved without looking back and walked forward with big strides.
When he reached the intersection, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
“Wait, Hermione?”
“Hermione Jean Granger?”
Ye Ting suddenly felt that a memory deep in his mind was attacking him.
“This… is this the world of Harry Potter?!”
Thinking of this, he almost understood it completely.
Why did he travel through time exactly to 1989? Why couldn’t he touch any real collection except Linnet for so many years? Why did he feel that his God’s Eye was not using elemental power, but another more universal energy? Why did he feel closer to that girl the more he looked at her…
All the questions were answered at this moment.
Feelings are waiting here.
Since he was in the world of Harry Potter, God’s Eye followed the local customs and used magic instead of elemental power.
Perhaps in this world, only things related to magic can become collections of the system?
Perhaps only by coming into contact with the world of magic can I truly unleash the capabilities of the system.
Ye Ting, who was in a state of confusion, found a random restaurant and had a seafood dinner with Linnet, then returned to the small apartment they were temporarily renting.
As soon as she entered the apartment, Linnet seemed to notice something, jumped off Ye Ting lightly, and quickly ran to the balcony.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Ting heard a “puff” sound and a shrill scream.
“Linnet, what are you doing again?”
Upon hearing this, Ye Ting hurried over and found that Linnet had an owl under her claws. The scream just now came from this owl.
This owl was twice as big as Linnitt, but its struggle was useless against Linnitt, who possessed the Eye of God.
Ye Ting hurriedly dissuaded her: “Linette, don’t eat weird things, you will get sick!”
After thinking for a while, he added: “If you want to eat it, you have to cook it before eating it…”
Gu!!!
The owl seemed to understand Ye Ting’s words and struggled even more violently.
Only then did Ye Ting notice that the owl was holding a brown envelope made of thick parchment tightly in its claws.
It turns out that this is not an ordinary owl, but a messenger from the magical world.
With Ye Ting’s patient persuasion, Linnet finally let go of the owl.
He picked up the envelope and saw a wax seal on the back with a shield-like emblem, with a capital “H” in the center surrounded by a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake.
After opening it, the letter read:
Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry: Albus Dumbledore (President of the International Magical Confederation, President of the Wizarding Association, First-Class Magician of the Order of Merlin).
Dear Mr. Ye:
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Enclosed is a list of required books and equipment.
The term is scheduled to start on September 1. We will be waiting for your owl letter with your reply before July 31.

Yours sincerely, Minerva McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress

Chapter 3 Welcome to the Magical World (Old Version)
The next morning, sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, casting patches of light into the room.
After enjoying his breakfast, Ye Ting picked up a newspaper and sat on the soft sofa to read it leisurely.
He had no plans to go out and perform magic today.
At nine o’clock in the morning, the doorbell of the apartment rang urgently.
Ye Ting opened the door, but saw that there was no one outside, only an empty corridor.
Just as he was wondering, a tabby cat appeared in his sight.
In the blink of an eye, the cat turned into a lady in her fifties or sixties. She had a serious face and a dignified look behind her square glasses. She was wearing a green cloak and a tall wizard hat on her head, looking like a standard witch.
Although he had already recognized this uninvited guest in his heart, Ye Ting still showed just the right amount of surprise on his face:
“Good morning, ma’am, how can I help you?”
“Hello, Ye Ting. I am Minerva McGonagall, you can call me Professor McGonagall. I sent a letter yesterday to inform you of the purpose of my visit today.” Professor McGonagall introduced herself while looking at the well-dressed and handsome young man in front of her.
The image of this child seemed somewhat different from the orphan she had in mind.
“Ah, it’s Professor McGonagall. My apologies. Please come in.” Ye Ting warmly invited her into the apartment.
Linnet heard the noise, came over curiously, and sniffed gently at Professor McGonagall’s feet.
This biped smells like a cat.
“Be polite, Linnet,” Ye Ting reminded her, “This is our guest today, and perhaps also my… future professor.”
After entering the room, Professor McGonagall looked around.
The decoration in the house is very lifelike. There are not many things, but most of them show signs of use.
She nodded secretly, it seemed that the young man was living a decent life.
“Professor McGonagall, what would you like to drink? Tea or coffee?”
“A cup of tea, thank you.”
Ye Ting snapped his fingers, and a flame instantly ignited under the kettle on the stove – even though the gas on the stove was clearly not turned on.
Soon, the water in the kettle began to boil. Ye Ting poured the water into the teapot and wiped it with his hand. A bag of tea leaves appeared in his hand, which he also threw into the teapot.
Professor McGonagall was a little dazzled by this series of operations. She asked tentatively: “It seems that you have deeply experienced… the charm of magic?”
“So you call this magic. I always thought it was my superpower.” Ye Ting brought the brewed tea to Professor McGonagall and said with a smile.
“Your talent is truly breathtaking, kid.”
Ye Ting’s performance made Professor McGonagall like him even more, and her attitude became even more friendly.
“So, you’ve always lived here alone?”
“Yes, ever since I discovered my… um, magical abilities, I was afraid of being discovered and treated as a monster, so I left the orphanage and rented this house by myself.” Ye Ting said the lies he had prepared long ago.
Professor McGonagall nodded, blew the steam off the tea, took a sip and said, “Well, Mr. Ye, I’ll take you to Diagon Alley to buy school supplies now… I have to hurry, because in addition to you, I have to take another little wizard who is about to enter school into the wizarding world today.”
“Okay, Professor McGonagall, please wait a moment. I’ll go get ready.”
In fact, he didn’t need to prepare anything, after all, all his belongings were placed in the magic bag.
The effect of making a magic bag is similar to the [Space Extension Spell], which is an inherent ability of the Eye of the God Linni.
So he simply put on a cloak and a hat.
Of course, it was not the fancy hat worn during performances, but an ordinary beret.
Ever since he obtained [Eye of God: Cat Constellation], he has developed the habit of wearing a hat.
“Then let’s go.” Professor McGonagall extended a thin hand, “Come, hold my hand tightly.”
Ye Ting did as he was told, his hand tightly clasped on Professor McGonagall’s forearm, while Linnet slipped delicately into his cloak.
Then there was a loud bang, and Professor McGonagall activated the [Apparition].
Ye Ting felt the world around him suddenly fall into darkness. The pressure coming from all directions made it almost impossible for him to breathe, as if he was stuffed into a narrow rubber tube.
Finally, he broke free from the suffocating restraints, and the polluted air rushed into his lungs, bringing a long-lost coolness.
Linnet also seemed a little listless, lying limply on Ye Ting’s shoulder.
After coming to his senses, Ye Ting found himself standing at the door of a bar.
The bar is sandwiched between a bookstore and a record store. It is small and slightly shabby. It looks like an inconspicuous side door of the bookstore. The only thing that attracts attention is the unique door plaque.
An iron rod protruded from the door plaque, with a wooden sign hanging from it. There was no text engraved on the sign, but a picture of a huge pot with a leaky bottom.
With the ringing of a crisp bell, Professor McGonagall pushed open the dirty door.
The world behind the door opened his eyes to a bright light.
The space inside the bar is much more spacious than it appears from the outside, at least ten times larger.
There were a few wooden tables sparsely placed in the bar, and the guests were dressed in a unique style, wearing robes and top hats tilted at one side, exactly the same style as Professor McGonagall.
Several old ladies were sitting in a corner, sipping sherry leisurely, one of them was smoking a long pipe, puffing out clouds of smoke.
A short man with a large top hat on his head was talking eagerly to the bar owner.
The boss looked quite funny, with sparse hair sticking to his dry scalp like a dried walnut.
When the two men stepped into the bar, the noisy chatter stopped abruptly, but soon resumed.
However, when Professor McGonagall passed by, the noise around her would unconsciously decrease, as if her aura had a muting effect.
The bar owner carefully poked his head out from behind the bar. When he saw Professor McGonagall, he immediately shrank his neck and put on a flattering smile:
“Good morning, Professor McGonagall! Here to pick up the new students again.”
“Tom, you need to clean up this place.”
Professor McGonagall nodded slightly, then led Ye Ting across the bar to a small patio surrounded by walls on all sides.
It seemed a bit desolate here. There was nothing else except a lonely trash can and a few clumps of withered weeds.
“This is the entrance to Diagon Alley,” she pointed at the trash can. “Remember this location. Count three blocks up, then two blocks sideways, and tap it three times with your wand. You’ll have to find the way yourself from now on.”
As she spoke, she raised her wand and tapped the corresponding bricks three times.
Then, a magical scene happened – the enchanted brick began to tremble violently, then slowly moved away, a crack appeared in the middle, and a small hole gradually expanded.
In a blink of an eye, a spacious archway appeared in front of Ye Ting.
The archway leads inwards to a cobblestone street.
“This is so, so cool…”
Even though Ye Ting had read the description of Diagon Alley in a book and had experienced it in Universal Studios, he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.
Chapter 4 Time is money, my friend (old version)
Ye Ting followed Professor McGonagall forward.
On the way, he looked around curiously, and Linnet also poked her head out of her cloak and meowed excitedly.
There were a wide variety of shops on both sides of the street, most of which were a little too “eye-catching” in the eyes of these Muggles.
The nearest place to them was a shop that specialized in selling crucibles, which attracted everyone’s attention.
The stacks of pots and pans in the store are three or four meters high, like an acrobatic performance. Although they are shaky, they never fall down.
A low humming sound came from a dimly lit shop with a sign that read “Eeyore Owl Shop”.
Hearing this voice, Linnet kept looking into the store, obviously very interested.
A plump woman carefully walked out of the pharmacy carrying a basket with a piece of offal in it. She muttered as she walked, “The price of dragon liver has gone up again. It seems that the price of my potion will also have to go up.”
In front of the broom shop, the children exclaimed in amazement one after another. They leaned in front of the window, staring at the shiny Nimbus 2000 inside, and discussed something enthusiastically.
Not far away, on the sign of a clothing store, a huge pair of scissors was clicking in the air boredly.
The windows of the grocery stores were filled with all kinds of strange goods: baskets of bat spleens, eel eyes, spell books, quill pens, rolls of parchment, crystal medicine bottles and exquisite lunar globes…
The two walked forward, and after about five or six minutes, they finally arrived at a fork in the road.
Across the fork in the road, a towering three-story white building comes into view.
It stands out among many wooden shops with two floors at most. The white stone sparkles in the sun, and it looks particularly imposing from a distance.
Of course, it’s only limited to viewing from a distance.
When you take a closer look, you will find that the white marble columns here are actually crooked!
These stone pillars seem to have their own ideas. The pillars on the first, second and third floors are independent of each other and there is no pattern at all.
Seeing this awkward style, Ye Ting felt an inexplicable urge in his heart, and he wanted to rush forward and straighten them one by one.
The bronze gate of Gringotts stood solemn and majestic, with goblin guards in scarlet uniforms with gold trim standing on both sides.
It was the first time Ye Ting saw a goblin. It was short, dark-skinned, with long fingers and feet. It had a domed head with a smart dark face, a long nose and a pair of long ears.
The goblin bowed to him, but it was not respectful at all.
Passing through the silver door, they stepped into a very spacious marble hall.
The space here is much wider than it looks from the outside, and it is obvious that the [Trashless Extension Spell] is working.
Inside the hall, the densely packed doors were as complicated as a maze, and each door led to a different place.
The ugly goblins were busy at the counter in the hall, using scales, magnifying glasses and other tools to carefully identify the gems, gold coins and all kinds of strange things in front of them.
That appearance, coupled with their greedy nature, makes people say that they are goblins, but in fact they are the goblins in DND and World of Warcraft.
It s a pity that Ye Ting didn t hear the familiar lines here.
Professor McGonagall walked to the counter with ease and collected the student loan for Ye Ting.
In order to show off their superiority, those goblins deliberately placed the chairs high up. It was estimated that they had to use a small ladder to go up and down.
“This child needs to go through the procedures for a student loan,” said Professor McGonagall, handing over a piece of parchment. “This is the instructions from Hogwarts.”
However, Ye Ting stopped her from doing so.
“Student Ye, now is not the time for you to show off.”
Professor McGonagall mistakenly thought that Ye Ting was unwilling to accept help because of his pride, so she advised him: “This money is not given to you for free. You will still need to pay it back after you graduate in the future.”
“Professor McGonagall, you misunderstood. I have my own money.”
Ye Ting smiled slightly, took off his beret and put it on the counter.
The goblin raised his wrinkled face and looked at Ye Ting slowly, muttering: “Oh, well, it seems that it’s time for the little wizard to enter school again.”
As he spoke, he pulled out a book from the pile of account books next to him and explained as he flipped through it, “The current exchange rate is five pounds for one Galleon. A young wizard can only exchange a maximum of 100 Galleons a year.”
Turning to the record, the fairy picked up the feather pen and dipped it lightly in the ink bottle, then looked up at Ye Ting and added: “By the way, you have to show me your admission letter.”
“Mr. Fairy, is there any limit on gold exchange here?” Ye Ting ignored his arrogant attitude and asked directly.
“Of course not!”
When the goblin heard the word “gold”, a gleam of greed flashed in his eyes, and his attitude became obviously enthusiastic. “We are very happy to accept the exchange of gold and silver, and there is no limit on the quantity. But…”
He paused, and made an insulting gesture with his long fingers.
We need to charge a small fee.
Ye Ting nodded slightly, reached out to pick up the beret on the counter, turned it over, as if he wanted to pour out what was inside.
The hat was not big, and Sherlock the Goblin did not expect that the [Untraceable Extension Spell] factor was involved. After all, Professor McGonagall had wanted to apply for a student loan for the young wizard.
However, the next scene surprised everyone.
A pile of gold bars fell out of Ye Ting’s hat and instantly covered the entire counter, shining brightly and dazzling people.
The goblin was quick-witted and quick-handed, and quickly caught a few gold bars that were about to roll down.
“Oh, look at these little cuties…” He carefully placed the gold bars on the counter, and all the wrinkles on his face smoothed out. “By the way, my name is Sherlock, nice to meet you. What should I call you?”
As soon as he saw the pile of gold, Sherlock’s attitude immediately took a 180-degree turn and became extremely enthusiastic.
“Ye Ting.” Ye Ting said lightly.
“Okay, Mr. Ye, I’ll handle the exchange for you right away.” Sherlock turned around and shouted, “Zanji, come here quickly and measure the quality of this gold!”
Sherlock weighed the gold deftly and recorded it quickly in the account book.
While Zanji was still leisurely measuring the purity, Sherlock couldn’t wait any longer and began to vigorously promote Gringotts’ vault service.
“Dear Mr. Ye, would you like to open a vault in Gringotts? This is the safest place, and we guarantee that your wealth will increase steadily!”
However, Ye Ting was not interested at all and rejected it directly.
But Sherlock’s mouth was not idle, and he continued to chatter away.
“Time is money my friend.” Ye Ting could only say this in the end, “I don’t want to handle any vaults. Just get the deal done quickly. I’m in a hurry.”
“Ah… what wise words! Your words can be used as Gringotts’ motto!” Sherlock looked at Ye Ting with eyes that suddenly became much more pleasing to the eye, as if he had seen a confidant, and he stopped trying to promote Gringotts’ services in vain.
Finally, Ye Ting left Gringotts contentedly with more than 2,000 Galleons in his pocket.
When he reached the gate, he vaguely heard a familiar voice behind him: “Time is money, my friend!”
Ye Ting smiled slightly, and felt that this trip was a success.
“Mr. Ye, aren’t you an orphan?” After leaving Gringotts, Professor McGonagall couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Where did all this money come from?”
“This is what I earned as a magician.” Ye Ting replied, “After I made money, I always exchanged it for gold first.”
Of course, this is a lie.
This gold was obtained purely by Ye Ting after he knew that he would come to Diagon Alley to shop the next day, and he saved most of the pounds he had.
Ye Ting had tried to collect cash a long time ago. Generally speaking, the system would reward other currencies after swallowing the cash, and gold was one of the rewards.
As long as he repeatedly sacrifices the cash he gets, he can turn it all into gold.
“Magician? What’s that?” Professor McGonagall frowned in thought. “Is it another name for wizards that Muggles use?”
“No, a magician is someone who performs magic tricks for ordinary people… that is, Muggles.”
Ye Ting explained, “You know, Muggles don’t believe in magic, so some Muggles use tricks and sleight of hand to make other Muggles feel the charm of magic. Muggles like to watch this, but everyone knows that magicians don’t actually know magic.”
In fact, even without relying on magic, with Linny’s techniques, Ye Ting is equivalent to the best magician in the world.
But performing magic in that way was both troublesome and not shocking enough, so he seldom did it.
“So, you make money by pretending to be a demon…er, a magician?” Professor McGonagall looked at Ye Ting in surprise. “It’s a very clever idea.”
She changed the subject and reminded him, “But you can’t do this after you become a wizard.”
“Why?”
“Because the Ministry of Magic, our wizarding government, prohibits young wizards from using magic outside of school,” Professor McGonagall explained, “They will monitor you through the traces on your wand.”
At this point, Professor McGonagall laughed at herself again and said, “Forget it, just pretend I didn’t say anything. With your ability to cast spells without a wand… I guess these rules are just a decoration to you.”
Having been a professor for so many years, she has met many young wizards, many of whom have shown strong magical talents before entering school.
But no one had ever been like Ye Ting, who had mastered such superb wandless casting skills without even having a magic wand. This was the first time she had seen such a thing.
What shocked her even more was that Ye Ting was an orphan and had never been exposed to anything related to magic before.
In other words, he taught himself all this!
Even Dumbledore and Voldemort couldn’t achieve this kind of talent. I wonder how much of a stir he will cause when he joins Hogwarts.
Hope he can be assigned to his own college.
Thinking of this, Professor McGonagall couldn’t help but look at Ye Ting a few more times, her eyes full of approval and expectation.
“Okay, my mission is accomplished.” She clapped her hands. “You can buy the rest by yourself. Should that be okay?”
“Don’t worry, Professor McGonagall, I can handle it myself.”
“Then, see you at the academy then!” Professor McGonagall nodded and disappeared from the spot with a burst of [Apparition].
Chapter 5 I have the Eye of God, what else do I need a magic wand for? (Old version)
Ye Ting’s first stop was Madam Malkin’s robe shop, which was very famous – at least that’s what Professor McGonagall said.
He seriously suspected that this store had signed a cooperation contract with Hogwarts, just like the teachers in his previous life who designated the school uniform manufacturers.
Here, he customized two sets of clothes for himself for all four seasons, including school uniform robes, leather shoes, wool sweaters, shirts and scarves.
Madam Malkin waved her wand gently, and several sets of measuring tapes beside her seemed to be given life, automatically surrounding Ye Ting and measuring his size.
At the same time, several robes of different styles also floated onto Ye Ting, and the styles were tailored for him according to his body shape.
After putting on the clothes he was trying on, Ye Ting on the measuring table immediately caught people’s attention.
Ye Ting was wearing a sweatshirt and jeans before, which was handsome but too casual.
But now he is completely different. His angular and handsome face, slender figure, and the robes in the store make him exude an elegant and noble temperament, perfectly fitting the image of a handsome young wizard in people’s minds.
“Oh, what a handsome boy!” Madam Mokin stood aside, arms folded across her chest, looking Ye Ting up and down, “You are a freshman this year, right?”
Ye Ting felt a little uncomfortable under Madam Mokin’s gaze.
Rumor has it that she is a widow whose husband died early and she runs this famous store alone.
“Well, yes, ma’am. How much is it in total?” He tried to change the subject and asked about the price.
“The original price is 13 Galleons and 5 Sickles, but since you are so handsome, I will give you a discount. It only costs 10 Galleons.”
Madam Malkin winked at him. “When the clothes are ready, I can deliver them to your home. Of course, you can also pick them up at the store if you want.”
Ye Ting sighed, and reluctantly took out 10 gold coins and handed them to the other party, “Please send them to my home.”
Madam Malkin looked at his departing back, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.
Next, Ye Ting decided to buy a magic wand.
In fact, Ye Ting was not sure whether he really needed a magic wand.
After all, all his magic had always been performed with the help of the Eye of God on the ring on his right hand.
Whether it was creating fire or playing tricks with space, these spells were inherited from Lini. When he cast these spells through the Eye of God, he didn’t even need to chant.
In the eyes of Professor McGonagall, this scene became a superb wandless and silent casting skill, and Ye Ting became an unprecedented genius.
But Ye Ting knew in his heart that he was not as talented as Professor McGonagall imagined.
I was able to do so much because of the inheritance of [God’s Eye Black-spotted Cat].
But what if it is out of the scope of inheritance?
I have to learn the magic of this world from scratch.
And Linny obviously doesn’t have much talent in this area.
“Perhaps a so-called ‘genius’ like me will just be lost in the crowd when I go to Hogwarts and become an ordinary wizard who is only good at casting spells without a wand.” Ye Ting thought with self-mockery.
But no matter what, even if you have the eyes of God, you should at least buy a magic wand to pretend to have it.
Thinking so, Ye Ting arrived at the door of Ollivander’s Wand Shop.
This wand shop is the only one in Diagon Alley. The shop is small and shabby, but it has a rich history.
The golden sign on the door was peeling a little, but the words on it could still be clearly seen: “Ollivanders: Making Fine Wands Since 382 BC”.
In the dusty window, a lonely magic wand lay quietly on the faded purple cushion.
Ye Ting pushed open the dirty door.
“Good morning.” A soft voice suddenly sounded.
Ye Ting turned around and saw a thin old man standing behind him.
He nodded. “Good morning, Mr. Ollivander. I’m here to buy a wand.”
“Ah, yes, I know I’ll see you soon, Ye Ting.”
Ollivander took out his magic ruler as he spoke, “You look just like your father. It seems like he bought his first wand here just yesterday…”
Halfway through his words, Ollivander suddenly froze.
Ye Ting was also stunned. He looked at the other party in confusion: “Mr. Ollivander, if I remember correctly, I am an orphan.”
Uh yeah, yeah?
Ollivander looked a little embarrassed and stammered his response.
He quickly pulled a piece of parchment from his robes, glanced at it, and quickly stuffed it back.
At this moment, Ye Ting relied on the magician’s eyesight to write down the information on the parchment.
There seemed to be a string of names recorded on it, and behind each name were detailed names of relatives and their wand information…
“It seems that my eyesight is blurry and I saw it wrong… Oh no, I remembered it wrong…” Ollivander coughed twice awkwardly, trying to cover up his mistake, “Um, um, Mr. Ye, which hand do you usually use?”
“Oh, I’m right-handed.”
Perhaps because of the previous episode, Ollivander was particularly silent during the subsequent measurement process and did not say any classic lines such as “the wand chooses the wizard” or “I remember every wand I sell”.
“Mr. Ye, try this one.”
After Ollivander quickly finished the measurement, he pulled out a wand from the paper box hanging from the ceiling, took out the wand and handed it to Ye Ting, “It’s made of vine wood, the core is snake nerve, nine inches long, light and sharp.”
Ye Ting took the slightly short magic wand, and in an instant, he felt the magic power in his body surging like a wild horse.
Mr. Ollivander quickly tried to grab the wand back, but it was too late. A dazzling spark lit up, instantly igniting the cabinet next to it.
“Oh, I’m so sorry!” Ye Ting apologized hurriedly.
“It’s okay, kid, it’s not your fault – get back to normal!”
Ollivander calmly waved his hand, without even using his wand, and the flame went out. It was obvious that he was used to this situation.
He pulled out another wand, which was covered with strange black lines.
“Try this one. It’s made of applewood and dragon’s nerve. It’s eleven and a quarter inches long and very flexible. Come, boy, try waving it around!”
Ye Ting waved his wand as he was told, and another ball of brilliant sparks burst out, exactly the same scene as before.
“It seems that this one is not suitable for you.” Ollivander’s eyes flashed with disappointment, but he soon became excited again.
He hasn’t encountered such a picky customer in a long time.
In the next hour, Ollivander continued to take out various wands from the piles of cardboard boxes for Ye Ting to try.
He mechanically took the wand handed to him by Ollivander, waving it, taking it again and waving it again. Hundreds of cardboard boxes were piled up in a mess around him and Ollivander, almost one wand every ten seconds.
Ye Ting felt his arms were so sore that he could hardly lift them.
More importantly, there were only a few boxes left on the ceiling.
The staff-making master’s expression changed from being excited to frowning, and he kept muttering, “How is this possible? How is this possible?”
Ye Ting knew why he was like this.
Logically speaking, when the Laughing Wizard was experimenting with wands, different wands would produce all sorts of strange magical effects. As an experienced wand-making master, Ollivander could judge which wand was more suitable for the little wizard by observing these magical reactions.
But this time, the identification skills he was so proud of were completely ineffective.
Because no matter how Ye Ting waved the magic wand, it would only produce one effect – generating a ball of colorful sparks.
There was no other reaction other than that.
This strange scene almost made him doubt his life.
Chapter 6 Lisa…Sister (Old Version)
Hogwarts Collector, I cast a spell with the Eye of God: Chapter 6 Lisa Ah… Sister Picture and Text
“What on earth is going on?” Ollivander looked at Ye Ting with an increasingly weird look in his eyes. “I’ve seen so many young wizards, but you are definitely the most special one.”
By now, Ye Ting had gradually figured it out.
Just as he had guessed, with the Eye of God guiding his magic power, he could cast spells directly without the wand, and the enhancement brought by the wand was just slightly better than nothing.
But Ollivander didn’t know this. Ye Ting was worried that if he continued to try, his abnormality might attract excessive attention from the other party.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Ye Ting decided to give him feedback manually.
When Ollivander handed him another wand, Ye Ting waved it gently and muttered to himself, “Dazzling Lights trick.”
Instantly, the combat skill of [God’s Eye Black-spotted Cat] was activated.
Above their heads, a flame that was more brilliant and dazzling than before suddenly bloomed, like a grand fireworks show indoors, with ribbons and dazzling lights intertwined, breathtakingly beautiful.
But behind the gorgeous “fireworks” is terrible destructive power.
As the fireworks splashed, wherever the glare and ribbons touched, they all quickly caught fire. In a short moment, the entire Ollivander’s Wand Shop was on fire.
“Stop it, Mr. Ye!” Ollivander screamed in panic, “You’re going to destroy all the wands here!”
“Oh, sorry!” Ye Ting also realized that he had gone too far. He quickly put down his wand and watched Ollivander running around, using the “Clear Water Like Spring” spell, and finally put out the fire before it got out of control.
Then he looked at the strange little wizard tiredly.
“Well, well, it looks like you’ve found the wand that suits you. But how is it possible that…”
He still couldn’t believe it. “Rosewood, the core is thunderbird tail feathers, thirteen inches long, quite flexible wand… but how is it possible? Why is it this one…”
Ye Ting put away the wand with satisfaction and asked, “How much does this wand cost?”
“Eight Galleons, Mr. Ye. Your magical powers are truly amazing. I hope you can make good use of this wand.”
Ye Ting handed over eight Galleons. When the transaction was completed, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his ears:
[Ding! The host has collected the first magic wand, and the reward is the Eye of God Hourglass Seat]Then, Ye Ting felt his palm getting warm, and a purple gem appeared out of thin air. The symbol of thunder element flashed in the gem, and Mond’s wing logo was engraved on the outer metal frame.
He looked down in astonishment, and a surge of ecstasy surged in his heart: “Could this really be Lisa…sister’s Eye of God?”
No wonder Ye Ting was so surprised. The last time he received the reward of God’s Eye was when he adopted Linnet.
Since then, he has never obtained any real collection, let alone an extraordinary reward.
After such a long time, he almost forgot what the system sound sounded like, so when he heard it just now, Ye Ting thought it was an auditory hallucination.
But immediately, he confirmed that all this was real and it was not a dream.
Because when he subconsciously called out “Aunt Lisa”, the Eye of God in the palm of his hand gently shocked him.
“Sure enough, my guess was right.” Ye Ting was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. “The collections in this world are closely related to magic. I never thought that just buying a magic wand would become a collection.”
He took another look at the wand he had just randomly picked out, and the contempt in his heart had long gone, replaced by extreme satisfaction.
This magic wand is his lucky star.
Thinking of this, he began to recall the background of the owner of this Eye of God.
Lisa Mintz is the librarian of the Knights of Favonius, an elegant lady with a vast knowledge of books. According to rumors, she is also a genius witch that only appears once every two hundred years in the Sumeru Order.
Even the way she obtained the Eye of God was quite legendary: While studying magic, Lisa suddenly realized that if she wanted to understand the elements better, she needed an Eye of God, and at the moment this thought came into her mind, the “Eye of God” miraculously appeared in Lisa’s hands.
This incident undoubtedly proved her extraordinary talent in magic.
By the way, the magic wand that Ye Ting picked at random happened to be a combination of rosewood + thunderbird core, no wonder he obtained Lisa’s Eye of God.
After all, Lisa’s nickname is “Rose Witch”.
Thinking of Lisa’s talents and abilities, Ye Ting decisively chose to bind [Eye of God Hourglass Seat].
The next moment, he felt a powerful force surging into his body, and he had mastered Lisa’s full set of normal attacks, elemental combat skills and elemental bursts.
However, the surprises don t end there.
Recalling the spell that Ollivander had just cast, Ye Ting imitated his posture and tone and waved his wand:
“Back to normal!”
The next moment, in the corner of the wand shop, a shelf that he had burned before was restored to its original state as if time had gone back.
“Oh, thank you, kid,” Ollivander, who was busy cleaning up the mess, looked up and thanked Ye Ting, “I have to say, your talent is indeed remarkable.”
Ye Ting waved his hands and continued to use magic to help restore the store, but he was secretly frightened in his heart.
In fact, before binding [Eye of God Hourglass], he also thought about trying to cast the spell he had seen today, but he gave up after a little thought.
His feelings told him he couldn’t do it.
Linney’s talent did not allow him to complete this operation.
But after binding [Eye of God Hourglass Seat], everything is different.
He could feel that every tone, punctuation, every flick of the wrist and raise of the hand when Ollivander cast the spell in his memory had a different meaning, and he could comprehend the essence of it by himself just by observing it and master the spell perfectly.
This was undoubtedly the result of the powerful magical talent bestowed upon him by the Rose Witch.
Now if he sees Professor McGonagall again, he can finally proudly declare that he is a true genius.
In a good mood, Ye Ting even looked at the old man Ollivander with a much better liking.
After helping him clean up the wand shop, Ye Ting bought him a purple metal wand rest engraved with a rose pattern, as well as a full set of wand maintenance tools, spending a full ten Galleons.
From this point of view, Ye Ting could understand. Ye Ting deeply understood why Ollivanders monopolized the manufacturing of wands in the UK, but such an important “ammunition” as wands was still so cheap.
On the one hand, every new wand will be subsidized by the government;
On the other hand, Ollivanders also provides a variety of after-sales services: from accessories, color changes to maintenance, just like the 4S stores in the Muggle world.
After leaving the wand shop, Ye Ting began to purchase various sundries.
It has to be said that the purchasing power of gold Galleons in the wizarding world is indeed very high. All the odds and ends needed in school only cost a few Galleons.
Of course, this is also because Ye Ting did not buy experimental equipment such as crucibles, balances, and crystal bottles.
These were the Muggle products he was going to buy.
Lisa’s wisdom told him that the crucibles in the sundry shop were made of ordinary metal and had no special enchantments.
In this case, Ye Ting still trusts Muggle industry and modern materials science more when it comes to experimental equipment.
Finally, there are books.
Ye Ting walked towards the direction of Lihen Bookstore. When he reached an intersection, he suddenly noticed something unusual and stopped immediately.
The number of wizards in this area has obviously decreased, and the atmosphere around has become somewhat subtle.
He looked up at the road sign. The road ahead was still Diagon Alley, but the three big words “Knockturn Alley” were clearly written on the arrow at the intersection.
“Knockturn Alley…” Ye Ting rubbed his chin thoughtfully. The name reminded him of something. “Isn’t this a place like the black market in the wizarding world?”
Thinking of this, his eyes lit up.
If you want to find suitable collectibles, Knockturn Alley is the best choice besides Hogwarts!
He remembered that there was an antique shop here called Borgin and Burke’s, which displayed all kinds of strange magic props.
If you want to find treasures, there is no better place than here.

The picture shows Lisa Ah…sister
Chapter 7: A Trip to Knockturn Alley (Old Version)
Hanging the Eye of God on the wand rest, Ye Ting smiled slightly, then put the hood of his cloak on his head.
After doing all this, he stepped into the dim alley.
Although Knockturn Alley is closely connected to Diagon Alley, the scene here is completely different. The sunlight seems unable to penetrate this area, and the entire alley is shrouded in a thick haze.
The walls on both sides of the alley are made of red bricks. Obviously, no one maintains them here. Green moss grows between the bricks and tiles, and many red bricks have been corroded beyond recognition.
In the corners of the streets, piles of abandoned garbage could be vaguely seen, and an indescribable stench drifted in the wind, making Ye Ting frown.
This alley has many shops like Diagon Alley, but there are many more small stalls and vendors than in Diagon Alley. The stall owners sit on the ground with a carpet in front of them, on which various goods are displayed, and the sound of hawking can be heard constantly.
But the things they sell are much weirder than those in Diagon Alley.
“A one-stop service for treasure appraisers, keeping you away from the troubles of black magic items.”
“Second-hand book sale! The latest Muggle novel “The Story of 105 Men and 3 Women”, come and take a look!”
“A magical wand, a dueling weapon! There has never been a record of any returns!”
Most wizards here are like Ye Ting, wearing black robes and hiding their faces under hoods, so Knockturn Alley has become a good place for all kinds of wizards to gather. In addition to black wizards, there are many strange guys here, some of whom are not even human.
In such a place, Ye Ting looked around all the way, interested in everything, showing his newbie style.
Even through the hood, others could see that this was probably a guy who came from Diagon Alley out of curiosity to broaden his horizons.
This is equivalent to hanging a big loudspeaker above your head, telling everyone that a fat sheep is coming!
Soon, he was being targeted.
Just as Ye Ting was watching the owner of the “Treasure Appraisal for Treasure Friends” stall deceiving customers by selling him an evil and expensive black magic item as a cheap imitation, a figure quietly approached him.
The man was not tall, about the same height as eleven-year-old Ye Ting, with bow legs, dirty body, and messy ginger hair that seemed to have never been combed.
When passing by Ye Ting, his shoulder hit Ye Ting hard.
At that moment, a strong smell of alcohol and cheap cigarettes hit my nose, making me sick.
“Feel sorry.”
The man hurriedly left a perfunctory apology and disappeared into the crowd without looking back.
Ye Ting shrugged, said nothing, and left the stall silently.
About five minutes later, the ginger-haired guy hurried back to the “Baoyou Appraisal” booth and looked around anxiously.
“Recent! Recent Futen!”
He yelled the stall owner’s name, “Did you see a hooded guy about my height passing by here just now?”
The stall owner, Leisente, was proudly admiring the black magic amulet he had just obtained.
Hearing the question, he didn’t even raise his head and answered slowly: “Yes, he has been looking at my stall for a long time… What’s wrong? Do you have something to talk to him about?”
“This guy…he stole my wallet!”
Stole your wallet? Hahahahahaha
Hearing this, the stall owner no longer appreciated the amulet and just burst into laughter, “Mundungus, you, a habitual thief… actually had your wallet stolen? This is… This is the best joke I’ve heard this year… Hahahaha…”
“Rasent!”
The guy named Mundungus was touched in the sore spot and shouted angrily, “If you do this again, the next time I see something good, I will send it to Borgin and Burke’s!”
“Don’t…don’t! How could that old guy give you such a favorable price like I did…”
The effect of these words was immediate, and Leisente immediately stopped talking, but the corners of his mouth still couldn’t help trembling.
After a while, he asked, “By the way, were you robbed by someone else when you were stealing?”
“So what?” Mundungus said angrily. “Just tell me where he went.”
“He walked deeper into the alley.”
Leisente pointed in a direction, and when he saw Mundungus was about to leave, he advised, “It’s useless for you to chase him. That guy seems to be a newcomer. In addition to you, the Cotton brothers are also targeting him… You know the consequences of being targeted by these two brothers, so don’t even think about getting your money back.”
At the same time, the guy who was said to have stolen from Mundungus by Raycent and was targeted by the Cotton brothers was humming a little tune happily and wandering in the depths of Diagon Alley, playing with the dragon skin wallet in his hand as he walked.
“Hehe… the people in Knockturn Alley are really good. They are all money-giving boys. They actually stole from me.”
In fact, the reason why Ye Ting behaved so unscrupulously before was not only because he was skilled and bold, but also because he was fishing for money.
As a newbie in the magical world, Ye Ting is in urgent need of money.
With the talent he inherited from the Rose Witch, he only needed to learn for a while to quickly unlock various money-making abilities.
But that is all in the future, the current problem is still not solved.
He is a principled man and would never do such things as robbery or theft.
So, Ye Ting resorted to this last resort.
He cannot steal or rob others, but if others take the initiative to steal from him or rape him, he will be happy to teach these people a small lesson and collect a small “tuition fee”.
Mundungus was the first to take the bait.
He also overestimated his own abilities.
Not to mention that Ye Ting’s valuables were all hidden in the magic bag, and there was no wallet for Mundungus to steal.
As a top magician, Linny’s hand speed and dexterity far exceed those of ordinary people, let alone a mere Mundungus.
This habitual thief in the original novel hit Ye Ting, but he hit a wall and ended up losing more than he gained.
But the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
At this time, two dark wizards were following him faintly, and as the crowd gradually thinned out, their tracking became more and more unscrupulous.
As he was walking, Ye Ting suddenly turned around and disappeared into a dark alley nearby.
The two dark wizards rushed into the alley, but found no one in front of them.
“This should be a dead end. Where is that kid?”
“He did it on purpose. He discovered us a long time ago… He’s not a newbie at all!”
Just as the two were looking around, searching for the target’s trace, suddenly, a gust of wind came from above their heads.
They subconsciously looked up.
Then a black cat, a black cat covered in flames, fell from the sky and landed on the head of one of the black wizards.
The flame contained magical power. In just a moment, the flame became dozens of times more intense and swallowed up the black wizard whole. He instantly turned into a fire man, screaming in pain.
“Damn it! What the hell is this!? Get out of here!”
Despite being surrounded by flames, the dark wizard still struggled hard, as if there was some magical item protecting him.
Even though he was screaming in agony from the burns, he still had the energy to beat himself repeatedly, trying to drive away the black cat and put out the flames.
“Clear water like a spring! Clear water like a spring!”
In the end, it was his companions who came to his aid and used several [Clear Spring Spells] to put out the fire on his body.
Before being drenched, the black cat nimbly jumped off the man’s head and scurried to the side.
“Damn black cat, what kind of monster are you…my fireproof amulet!” The dark wizard looked at the completely ineffective magic necklace in his hand with heartache and shouted angrily.
“Who am I? Am I not the one you are targeting?”
The next moment, they were surprised to find that the black cat had turned into the hooded man they had been tracking.
However, the hooded man was not wearing his hood at this time, revealing a handsome oriental face. It was Ye Ting: “I didn’t expect that the residents of Knockturn Alley would be so warm and hospitable. They all came forward to give me money.”
“You…you are an Animagus? No! Even an Animagus cannot cast magic in a transformed state! How on earth did you do it?”
The two dark wizard brothers were filled with astonishment. They held their wands tightly and looked at Ye Ting with vigilance.
“It’s just a little trick. Sorry to make you laugh.”
Chapter 8: Leave now and no one will get hurt, otherwise, you will all die! (Old version)
In fact, what Ye Ting displayed was not Animagus, but Linni s ultimate move, [Great Magic Spiritual Tour].
In reality, there is no need to be bound by the rules of the game, so there is no so-called elemental charging limit.
All kinds of skills in the game, whether it is normal attack, heavy attack, elemental combat skills or elemental burst, are only restricted by magic power here.
Because of this, [Great Magic Spiritual Parade] has become a transformation skill in reality.
Ye Ting can transform at any time and restore to his original state at any time.
Simple transformation, like Animagus, does not consume magic power. Ye Ting will only call upon magic power when he intends to use fire and explosion magic.
The reason why he chose to transform into a black cat was simply because Ye Ting felt that the image of [The Cat with the Strange Laughing Hat] was too funny. It was okay to use it in magic, but it really didn’t fit his image when he used it in battle.
Looking at the two people in front of him who were facing a formidable enemy, Ye Ting couldn’t help but shook his head and kindly advised:
“I have just spared your lives. If you leave now, no one will get hurt. Otherwise, you will all die!”
However, it was not known whether it was Ye Ting’s young face that gave his opponent an illusion, but one of them snorted coldly:
“Hmph, you are so arrogant! Don’t think you can scare us with a few tricks. We are the Cotton brothers! If you know what’s good for you, hand over your money and tell us how you played your tricks! Maybe we can spare your life!”
His attitude was very arrogant, but Ye Ting responded with a confused look:
“Cotton brothers? I haven’t heard of you. Are you famous?”
“you–“
The man was angered by Ye Ting’s attitude and was about to explode, but was stopped by his companion beside him.
“Forget it, brother, don’t waste time talking to him… Let’s just kill him! Then we’ll know everything.”
As soon as he finished speaking, something strange happened.
Brother Cotton suddenly let out a howl that was not like that of a human, and then the hair all over his body began to grow wildly, spreading like weeds, at a speed so fast that it could be seen with the naked eye.
The marks caused by the burns from the flames healed rapidly at this moment, as if time had gone back.
The originally ugly face began to distort, with protruding cheekbones and a ferocious and terrifying appearance. The teeth turned into sharp fangs, flashing with cold light.
In just a few minutes, Brother Cotton turned into a werewolf!
Ouch!
The werewolf howled loudly, and then pounced towards Ye Ting.
The ferocious look is really intimidating.
Facing the werewolf’s sharp claws and bloody mouth, Ye Ting stood there motionless, as if he was frightened.
But when the werewolf’s claws tore into the boy, his body suddenly turned into a puff of smoke, leaving only a few falling ribbons and cards, like a magic show.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Ting’s figure magically appeared beside them.
Although Lini is not good at other spells, he has an extraordinary talent for illusion and space magic.
The feedback to Ye Ting gave him a flexible body and magical short-distance teleportation.
“This is “
Before the Cotton brothers could react, the boy held out his wand.
“?Cang Lei?!”
As the purple gem on the wand holder lit up, a ball of purple lightning suddenly shot out from the tip of the rosewood wand, and a sharp crackling sound was heard in the air.
The werewolf made a somersault in an attempt to dodge the sudden attack, but the ball lightning seemed to have life, turning flexibly in the air and hitting him accurately.
Purple lightning flashed in the dark alley.
Immediately afterwards, Brother Cotton, who had transformed into a werewolf, felt a sharp pain.
The pain started from the back and quickly spread through the nerve endings of the spinal cord to the chest and limbs. Wherever it passed, the pain instantly reached an unbearable peak.
He felt as if thousands of needles were piercing his body at the same time, and the endless piercing sensation made him feel excruciating pain.
Even though he transformed into a werewolf, his strength and durability were greatly increased, he still couldn’t resist the strong voltage.
“ah!!!”
His face was distorted, and his screams mixed with wolf howls echoed in the empty alley. His knees lost strength because they could not bear the severe pain, and he fell heavily to the ground.
Fragmented electric light penetrated through his body, flickering, making him look like a giant light bulb with poor contact.
This scene shocked Cotton’s brother and he stopped casting the spell.
He stared with wide eyes, looking at his werewolf brother’s charred body, with countless lightning flashing from his body, like a dangerous fireworks show.
This kind of thrilling scene is not something you can encounter at any time.
After a few screams, Brother Cotton’s voice gradually became hoarse and his eyes began to roll back.
There was a faint smell of meat in the air, which made people’s heart palpitate.
“Brother! What’s wrong with you?!”
Brother Cotton exclaimed, finally recovering from his shock.
He subconsciously reached out for his brother who was kneeling on the ground, trying to help him up.
Ye Ting was shocked when he saw this scene.
“ah!!!!”
Sure enough, an even more shrill scream came from Brother Cotton’s mouth.
His body also began to tremble violently. In an instant, the electric light on the elder brother’s body was transmitted to the younger brother. The one little electric man turned into two little electric men, flashing continuously in the same place.
After a while, the power finally ran out and the two stopped shaking.
Ye Ting was stunned. This was the consequence of not receiving nine years of compulsory education!
No normal person would do such a thing as touching a companion who has been electrocuted.
Or does practicing dark magic damage the brains of dark wizards?
Fortunately, most of the power of this [Cang Lei] was borne by the elder brother, and the younger brother was only slightly affected and did not suffer serious injuries.
“You…you wait for me…”
Cotton’s brother, who was charred by electricity, uttered a cruel word and hurriedly helped his weak werewolf brother up, intending to flee the scene.
Seeing this, he neither cast spell to stop it nor ran to catch up, but just followed behind slowly.
As the two brothers stumbled towards the alley, they found a white cat with a green bow that had appeared here at some point and blocked their way.
The white cat was now lying on its front legs, its back arched high, its tail gently wagging, as if it was ready to strike, staring at them sharply.
“Get away! Smelly cat!”
Brother Cotton shouted angrily, trying to kick the white cat away.
But he seemed to have forgotten the painful lesson that his brother had learned not long ago when he was nearly burned to death by a black cat.
Never underestimate cats!
The insulted white cat suddenly burst out with amazing speed and pounced towards the black wizard.
Brother Cotton felt a flash before his eyes, and then he lost sight of the white cat.
He didn’t even understand what was happening when he suddenly felt a terrible wind pressure coming towards him.
Then there was a sharp pain, and he felt his face being torn into pieces by some sharp blade, and then he lost consciousness.
In the last moment before he fell into coma, only a pink cat’s paw was seen emerging from the air.
When Ye Ting walked slowly to the scene, he saw this scene:
The dark wizard brothers who were so arrogant just now now fell to the ground like two broken rag dolls.
One of them was shaking all over and giving off a roasted meat-like aroma;
The other one had a bloody head and his face was unsightly.
A small white cat was sitting on their bodies, looking at them expectantly.
“Great job, Linnet.”
Ye Ting touched her head approvingly.
“Meow–“
Linnet let out a soft cry and happily threw herself into Ye Ting’s arms.
This cute and adorable appearance is completely different from the image when it killed the dark wizard in seconds just now.
Yes, Linnet, who possesses [God’s Eye White-tailed Cat], can actually use elemental combat skills and elemental bursts.
The real-life [Mystery Shadow Barrier] doesn’t have as many restrictions as in the game.
When Linnet uses this skill, she is like a swordsman using [Wind Step]. Not only can her body be hidden in the wind, but her movement speed will also be greatly improved with the blessing of the wind element.
The final “invisibility-breaking attack” can cause astonishing wind element damage, making it impossible to defend against.
It can be said that Linnet is not only a cute vase and magic assistant beside Ye Ting, but also his capable partner in battle.
In fact, this is not the first time she has helped Ye Ting deal with his enemies.
It’s not easy to survive on the streets of London. As a magician who has been hanging around on the streets since he was less than ten years old, Ye Ting has been targeted more than once, either by gangsters, thugs or homeless people.
Since Linnitt’s ability is really suitable for sneak attacks, Ye Ting often sends her to help him solve some “small troubles”.
And this time, the man and the cat still cooperated perfectly.
Long before the sneak attack on the two dark wizards, Ye Ting had Linnett stealthily go around to the entrance of the alley, blocking their retreat.
All we can say is that the moment they chose to take action, their fate was already sealed.
Chapter 9 The Fastest Legend of Knockturn Alley (old version)
“I’ve told you to just leave and no one will get hurt. Why don’t you listen?” Looking at the two people lying on the ground, Ye Ting shook his head helplessly.
This forced him to lick the bag with tears in his eyes, even though he clearly didn’t want this to happen.
Ye Ting squatted down and put his hands towards their hearts. Without knowing right or wrong, he used [Fingertip Thunderstorm] on each of them.
With an electric shock to his heart at such a close distance, he should be dead now, no matter if he was pretending to be dead or unconscious.
Then comes the process of looting.
First there were two money bags. I counted them and found a total of 460 Galleons, 8 Sickles, and 15 Knuts.
“It’s just a small amount of money, but it’s better than nothing.” Ye Ting whistled lightly and poured all the money into his beret.
Next comes the other miscellaneous items.
Two magic wands, several handwritten notebooks, a few bottles of potions of unknown use, and two or three amulets, all of these became Ye Ting’s possession.
After getting the wand, Ye Ting felt disappointed.
This time, the system did not actively respond to the collection, indicating that it was not a real collection.
Apparently, the wand collection reward is only valid for the first wand, and has no effect for subsequent wands.
Ye Ting guessed that for most collections that were not unique, they were only valid when one purchased the first one.
Of course, if it is the legendary Deathly Hallows – the Elder Wand, or the wand held by legendary wizards such as Grindelwald and Voldemort, that is another matter.
Next was a handwritten notebook, which was densely filled with some black magic spells and the brothers’ insights.
Ye Ting grabbed the note and chose to collect it.
The next moment, this knowledge appeared in his mind.
This is another wonderful use of the [Big Collector System].
If he chooses to collect books and text materials, Ye Ting can immediately acquire this knowledge.
Of course, simply acquiring and mastering are two different things.
But with the help of Lisa’s talent, Ye Ting believed that it wouldn’t take him too long.
Next, his attention turned to the magic potions and amulets.
The potion was probably used to restore physical strength and remove curses, but it could also be mixed with poison, polyjuice potion, or something else.
And those amulets should be used to resist attacks from specific magic or black magic.
Unfortunately, in the battle just now, Ye Ting used some “non-mainstream spells”, which resulted in the two being killed instantly before the amulet could take effect.
For Ye Ting, these things are of no use.
He planned to dispose of them all before leaving Knockturn Alley.
Finally, there were the bodies of the two.
Ye Ting had collected chicken carcasses and cow body parts, but he had never tried collecting human carcasses.
The two corpses in front of me, one is a wizard and the other is a werewolf.
“Collecting you should bring me some surprises.” Ye Ting said to himself with a slight smile on his face.
He placed his palm on the werewolf’s head and silently said in his heart:
“collect!”
As light bloomed in the palm of his hand, the werewolf’s body gradually became blurred, and finally disappeared into the air and was swallowed by the system.
After collecting the entire werewolf corpse, a glimmer of anticipation flashed in Ye Ting’s eyes.
I don t know what the reward will be this time.
Previously, after collecting livestock carcasses, you would always be rewarded with some dishes.
Now his collection is of intelligent creatures and magical creatures, so there has to be something different.
Suddenly, Ye Ting felt as if his whole body was burning in flames, and his bones seemed to be twisted and reshaped by an invisible force.
Soon after, his muscles and skin also began to change, as if a violent force was rampaging through his body, almost tearing it apart.
“Hiss ” He took a breath of cold air, and his clothes were almost torn by his swelling muscles.
But before long, the pain gradually subsided, replaced by an unprecedented sense of power.
Ye Ting clenched his fists, feeling the violent power in his body that had nowhere to vent, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
“It seems that the reward of being a werewolf is this extraordinary power.” He muttered to himself and tried to swing his fist. There was a slight explosion in the air.
Ye Ting soon discovered that his strength and physique had more than doubled compared to normal, and his speed and explosive power had improved by leaps and bounds.
What surprised him even more was that he also gained amazing recovery abilities similar to those of werewolves.
As long as it is not a fatal injury, any injury can heal itself in a short time.
In short, except that he cannot transform into a werewolf, he has almost all the abilities of a werewolf.
Since werewolves can strengthen themselves, what about wizards?
Ye Ting looked at Cotton’s brother’s body expectantly and reached out his hand.
In a flash, Cotton’s brother’s body disappeared without a trace, leaving only an empty piece of clothing.
This time, I didn’t feel the same heart-wrenching pain as when I collected the werewolf.
But Ye Ting could clearly feel that the magic power in his body was like being injected with a catalyst, rising steadily, and it actually increased by almost one third!
At the same time, the mind becomes clearer and sharper.
“Did it increase the magic power and mental strength? This wave is considered a big improvement.”
Ye Ting felt the changes in himself and suddenly had the idea of ??cleaning up Knockturn Alley.
But then he shook his head and laughed at himself: “No… No, if I do this, what’s the difference between me and Voldemort…”
“But if someone takes the initiative to provoke me, that’s another matter.”
With this thought in mind, Ye Ting got up and left, leaving only two pieces of clothes with burn marks and blood stains on them.
“Once I get into Hogwarts, I’ll have to study those spells related to memory.”
As Ye Ting walked out of the alley, he secretly thought, “It’s a waste to just collect the bodies. I have to take out the contents of their brains as well. If I know Legilimency, I can read their memories before collecting them, find out where they hide the treasures, and then search their homes and Gringotts’ vault… There must be a lot of good things in there.”
Linnet glanced at her master speechlessly.
What kind of ultimate Grandet did I follow?
This is true. Even a corpse can be squeezed to produce a few ounces of oil.
No, this is not just about squeezing oil, but also about not letting go of both the body and the memories.
“Don’t say that, Linnet. I’ve become stronger so that I can better support this family.”
One person and one cat walked out talking and laughing.
As they were walking, Linnet suddenly screamed.
“Hmm? You mean… there’s someone coming up ahead?”
Ye Ting’s mind moved. As a young wizard who had not yet entered school, he had just killed someone. It would be best for him to keep a low profile and it would be best if no one discovered his whereabouts.
So he quickly transformed into a black-tabby cat.
Linnette’s eyes lit up when she saw this, and she immediately came forward to get close to Ye Ting. Her attitude was even more enthusiastic than when she was towards the human form of Ye Ting.
Seeing this, Ye Ting was very anxious: “Meow! Meow, meow! (Don’t bother Linnet, we have to get out now!)”
But Linnet refused and insisted on clinging to Ye Ting, rubbing against him.
Seeing the figure in front of him getting closer and closer, Ye Ting had no choice but to jump up and onto the wall, pretending to be a wild cat playing on the side of the road to hide from others.
“…How come he disappeared after chasing me here… What the hell, all the wild cats here are in pairs, why am I, Mundungus, still alone…”
In this way, Ye Ting watched the person passing by and walking deeper into Diagon Alley.
Only when the man was completely out of sight did he jump off the wall, regain his human form, and hurriedly leave with Linnet.
Soon after, Mundungus’ screams were heard from the same place.
Chapter 10: The Flying Champion of Mondstadt (Old Version)
Hogwarts Collector, I Cast Spells with the Eye of God: Chapter 10: Flying Champion of Mondstadt
Ye Ting still underestimated the intelligence capabilities of the local people in Knockturn Alley.
In a place like Knockturn Alley, news usually travels fast.
Especially when a murder happened on the street, this kind of bloody gossip became a hot topic among people after dinner.
Before long, everyone in Knockturn Alley knew that the Cotton brothers, the famous dark wizard + werewolf duo who once killed five Aurors, had been killed today.
Moreover, the man used some terrifying black magic to vaporize the brothers’ bodies, but the clothes left behind were intact.
Such a powerful dark wizard, perhaps only the Dark Lord of the past could be stronger than him.
The man who killed him was said to be a newcomer, and today was his first time in Knockturn Alley.
As the news spread, all the monsters and demons in Knockturn Alley were terrified, fearing that this new boss didn’t understand the rules here and would vaporize them as well.
Especially Mundungus, who was so scared that he peed his pants.
He never thought that he would steal from such a big shot.
He was now secretly thankful that the boss did not bother with him and just stole the things back instead of making him disappear from the face of the earth – just like he killed the Cotton brothers.
While Lei Sente from Baoyou Appraisal was spreading information about the big guys, he also took the opportunity to advertise his own stall.
He proudly declared that the big boss was so impressed with his ability to appraise treasures that he stopped in front of his stall to watch for an hour – in fact, Ye Ting did not even stay in Knockturn Alley for an hour in total.
Mr. Borgin, the owner of Borgin and Burke’s antique shop, vowed that although the murderer was young, he was already a dark wizard with unfathomable strength.
He said that when he first saw that guy, he was so scared by the murderous aura he exuded that his hair stood on end – but in fact, that was just the effect of static electricity.
The fellow had just finished a kill and sold all his loot to him the Cotton brothers had even bought several of the amulets from him.
Borgin also revealed that after killing the Cotton brothers, the boss immediately sold all the spoils to him. He even recognized that some of the amulets were sold by him to the Cotton brothers.
Before leaving, the boss made a large purchase in his store and bought a lot of evil black magic props.
At this point, Borgin said that big guys like that were willing to come to his Borgin and Burke’s antique shop to sell stolen goods and shop, which showed that his shop was well-known and trustworthy, and was a must-have for the majority of dark wizards at home, traveling, and for murder and arson.
In fact, the reason why Mr. Borgin chose Borgin and Burke as the dark wizard boss was purely because he had only heard of this shop in Knockturn Alley in the original book.
This dark wizard didn’t know what kind of uproar his counterattack had caused in Knockturn Alley.
At this moment, he had left his loyal Knockturn Alley and was on his way to Flourish and Blotts.
As he walked, he examined the “trophies” with a bitter face.
Just now, Ye Ting spent hundreds of dollars at Borgin and Burke’s and found several items that seemed to be of collectible value.
For example, there is a cursed opal necklace that is said to have claimed the lives of nineteen Muggle owners.
In the original book, Malfoy bought this necklace and attempted to use it to assassinate Dumbledore.
He also bought a Hand of Glory, which looks like a withered hand. When a candle is inserted into it, only the holder can see the candlelight, making it a good helper for thieves.
In addition, he also bought a lot of strange items such as unique amulets, bloody masks, etc.
But after buying it, I found out that only the opal necklace was the real collection. The reward for collecting it was the [Amulet of Narukami Taisha Shrine], which stated, “This was given by the wise and beautiful Lady Yae Kamiko.”
The rest is garbage in the eyes of the system.
After all this trouble, Ye Ting completely gave up the idea of ??purchasing collections through Taobao.
He realized that in order to obtain a truly valuable reward, he must find truly precious collections, such as Voldemort’s Horcruxes, the Deathly Hallows, or the relics of those legendary wizards who were famous in history.
As for all these messy things, Ye Ting stuffed them all into his beret, leaving only the [Amulet of Narukami Taisha Shrine].
From this, Ye Ting could feel that there was indeed a protective force on the amulet, and the Son of God was not cheating him.
If you carry it with you, it may be able to resist certain curses and black magic.
After packing up the collection and props, Ye Ting came to Lihen Bookstore.
The bookshelves here are densely packed with all kinds of books, even reaching the ceiling.
Among them, there are huge leather-bound books as thick as stone slabs, and small silver-covered books the size of stamps. Some books are printed with strange symbols, while others are blank books without words.
Ye Ting checked the book list and quickly bought all the necessary books for the first grade.
Of course, he wouldn’t buy just these few books.
Apart from what was described in the original book, Ye Ting had no idea about the magical world, and the magical world was obviously more than what was mentioned in the original book. This was a rare learning opportunity.
Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind, and books are the faithful recorders of this wisdom.
As a successor of communism who has received more than ten years of scientific education, Ye Ting suddenly came to this magical fantasy world, and his thirst for knowledge far exceeded that of ordinary people. Coupled with the talent and wisdom given to him by Lisa, he couldn’t wait to explore the secrets of this world.
In addition, just as people who study antiques must be well versed in history, if Ye Ting does not understand this magical world, how can he accurately judge which things are of collection value?
If it weren’t for the limited funds, Ye Ting really wanted to move the entire bookstore back home.
Seeing Ye Ting picking out books and the counter piled high with books, the manager of Lihen’s Bookstore was stunned. He had never seen a freshman purchasing like this.
When checking out, Ye Ting generously paid nearly one thousand Galleons and naturally became a senior member of Blooming and Blotts Bookstore.
The manager enthusiastically recommended: “Mr. Ye, we provide book delivery service. As long as you need it, we can send an owl to deliver the book to your house for free within three days.”
“No, this weight is nothing to me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he swept away the huge pile of books and put them all into his hat, to the manager’s astonishment.
After leaving Flourish and Blotts, Ye Ting continued to stroll leisurely in Diagon Alley.
At the “Magic Zoo”, he selected a variety of magical cat food for Linnet to change the taste.
Since he wasn’t sure which one she liked, Ye Ting simply bought some of each.
At the potion material store, he purchased a large number of commonly used potion materials. The Rose Witch also had a high level of attainment in alchemy and alchemy. Ye Ting also wanted to see how the potions in this world were different from those in Teyvat.
In addition, he also wanted to try what he could gain from collecting these materials.
At the stationery store in Diagon Alley, he bought a number of automatic quill pens.
Although Ye Ting can memorize the knowledge in books by collecting them, he does not have the opportunity to collect all books directly.
For example, the library at Hogwarts contained many precious and rare books that were not available outside. If he didn’t want to steal the books, he could only copy them himself.
Before leaving, Ye Ting passed by the Quidditch boutique again.
Here, he finally spent 300 Galleons and bought a Nimbus 2000, intending to try and see if he could trigger the collection system.
Like the magic wand, the broomstick also has special meaning for wizards.
The moment I bought the broom, a clear reminder sounded in my mind:
[Ding! The host has collected the first flying broom, and the reward is God’s Eye Rabbit Seat]The next moment, a flaming red eye of God fell into his hands.
Well, it makes sense to collect flying brooms and get the Eye of God, the flying champion.
Ye Ting chose to bind without hesitation.
With the completion of the binding, he not only gained Amber’s normal attacks, combat skills, and elemental bursts, but also a large amount of knowledge about flying, survival in the wild, and reconnaissance emerged in his mind.
Coupled with the physical fitness gained from the werewolf,
Now, he has become the best scout and wilderness survival expert.
If he got on this flying broom, he was confident that he could become the best rider.
Little Angel Amber is so awesome.
Unfortunately, in terms of magic, the little angel Amber did not give him any help.
Except for one aspect [Activation Spell].
Simply put, it is the magic that makes dead things come alive.
Amber can make Count Bunny move, and has the most basic intelligence to act as a taunting meat shield, relying on this ability.
“Well, this Eye of God is pretty good.”
Just like that, Ye Ting left Diagon Alley contentedly with a full harvest and returned to his apartment in London.
Meanwhile, in Trafalgar Square, there was a girl wandering around, looking for a magician who had failed to perform.

Pictured: Amber
Chapter 11 Platform 9 3/4, See You Hermione (Old Version)
Hogwarts Collector, I Cast Spells with the Eye of God: Chapter 11 Platform 9 3/4, Goodbye Hermione
After returning from Diagon Alley, Ye Ting moved directly out of his original apartment and rented a small house in a remote suburb of London.
With the help of the [Confusion Spell], he did this easily.
Here, even if he makes a big noise, he doesn’t have to worry about the neighbors upstairs and downstairs knocking on the door to complain, nor does he have to worry about someone secretly calling the police and causing unnecessary trouble.
Now, he can study and try all kinds of magic as he pleases without any restrictions.
So, with more than a month left before the start of school, Ye Ting gave up magic performances and devoted himself to the world of magic.
Except for necessary shopping trips, he spent almost the entire day in the cabin.
Ever since experiencing Lisa’s talent, Ye Ting finally understood why some people like reading and studying so much.
For geniuses, acquiring knowledge is addictive.
Everyone knows that anyone can learn anything if they persevere and use the right method.
But humans are emotional animals, not completely rational. Various difficulties and failures in learning can easily cause them to accumulate a lot of anxiety, self-doubt and frustration, which leads to giving up learning.
It is precisely because of this that perseverance is such a rare quality.
But genius is different.
Any knowledge can be learned once it is learned. As long as you keep learning, you will continue to succeed and feel positive feedback.
This feeling is even more addictive than smoking.
What s even better is that Ye Ting also has special learning skills.
Taking out the books he bought from Bloomsbury Bookstore, Ye Ting immediately started collecting like crazy.
collect!
Collect again!
Keep collecting!
He took out books one by one and collected them, and never got tired of it.
Only after he had collected hundreds of books did he stop and take a breath.
He rubbed his aching temple, and a look of pain unconsciously appeared on his face.
Although I can still hold on mentally, my brain feels like it’s about to burst.
The huge amount of knowledge just poured into his head like a cramming machine, overloading his brain.
He felt that his brain was like a computer that had just been overclocked and could crash at any time.
“It has to be slow,” he touched his burning head and sighed helplessly.
“These hundreds of books are making my brain explode. If I want to collect all the books I bought from Flourish and Blotts, it seems I have to go through them four or five times.”
And how many books has Hogwarts, the school he is about to enter, accumulated over the past thousands of years?
My journey of studying in the magical world still has a long way to go.
Of course, it is not enough to just memorize the knowledge in the books, you must have enough ability to digest it.
Thanks to Lisa’s talent, he absorbed the magical knowledge in his mind like a sponge absorbing water, and quickly mastered it in just a few days.
In just one day, he had mastered all the spells for grade one. In less than a week, he had learned all the spells before grade six!
All I can say is that a genius witch is still a genius witch even if she changes to another world. Even though the magic rules of the two worlds are different, she can still easily surpass most people with her innate talent and unique insight into and ability to apply knowledge!
In this way, Ye Ting endured the headache four or five times, and finally collected all the nearly one thousand books he bought from Lihen Bookstore within half a month.
Although it will take some time to fully grasp everything, he can now begin to delve into the nature of magic in this world.
Ye Ting found that the magic rules of this world were very interesting. Standardized spells, precise gestures, and firm will, combined into one, would allow anyone with magic power to release magical effects through a magic wand.
Although this method of casting spells is very different from the technique of controlling elemental forces with the Eye of God, upon closer inspection, they have the same effect.
This made Ye Ting gradually addicted to it.
The more he studied, the more he realized the unfathomable depths of magic, and the more he looked forward to his journey to Hogwarts.
He didn’t want to be taught by those professors.
The professors at Hogwarts are indeed very good, but relying on Lisa’s talent, Ye Ting is confident that as long as he collects enough magic books, he will soon surpass them.
What he really wanted was the collection of books at Hogwarts.
And of course, there’s the potential treasure trove at Hogwarts.
Through his continued collection of items he bought in Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley, Ye Ting realized that those truly precious rewards can only be obtained by collecting real collections.
He concluded that the system determines whether an item is worth collecting, not only by looking at whether the item itself is precious, but also by referring to the plot.
Items that have special significance in the plot are likely to be collections recognized by the system.
After this analysis, the place with the most potential collections is still Hogwarts.
In addition to studying magic, Ye Ting also took time to practice potions on his own.
Learning potions in the first grade was very simple, so Ye Ting s main focus was on how to restore the potions of Teyvat using the methods of this world.
This directly resulted in one or two explosions being heard in the cabin every day.
Until the day before school started, Ye Ting was still immersed in the study of magic and potions, and only lay down to rest reluctantly late at night.
The next day, Ye Ting was woken up by Linnite, otherwise he might have slept until noon.
Fortunately, his luggage had been packed early in the morning – the magic bag still contained everything, but in order not to appear abrupt, he still symbolically brought a suitcase.
After a quick breakfast, Ye Ting and Linnet set off together. They hurried and finally arrived at the London train station before half past nine, passing through the bustling crowd and coming to the platform between platform nine and platform ten.
Then, his eyes were drawn to a familiar shade of brown.
It was a brown-haired girl, standing alone in front of a wall, with large and small bags of luggage surrounding her, blocking the entrance to the platform.
The girl stared at the wall in confusion. After a moment, she took out a magic wand and waved it in the air a few times, muttering something.
“Alaho hole open!”
The wall did not change at all.
The girl was not discouraged and quickly chanted other spells, but they had no effect.
She was so angry that she scratched her hair hard. She was so angry that she scratched her head, and her fluffy curly hair became even more messy. This look made Ye Ting couldn’t help laughing out loud.
“Are you performing a play?”
A familiar voice suddenly rang in her ears. The girl was stunned for a moment. She turned her head and saw a familiar handsome face looking at her with a smile.
She had been thinking about this face for the entire summer vacation!
“You… are Ye Ting?” she asked tentatively.
“Hmm?” The boy crossed his arms and nodded slightly.
The girl couldn’t believe her eyes. She hesitated for a moment and asked again to confirm: “You… are also a wizard?”
“That’s right,” Ye Ting nodded again, “This year’s freshmen.”
“Oh my god!” the girl exclaimed, “So… all those magic performances you performed before were actually magic?!”
“Partly,” Ye Ting nodded for the third time.
Seeing the girl’s trembling mouth, Ye Ting felt that the situation was not good, and immediately added: “But a large part of it was completed by my magic skills.”
However, the girl was no longer willing to listen to his explanation.
After getting three affirmative answers, the girl gradually understood everything.
She thought back to all the efforts she had made during this holiday. She worked day and night to study the other party’s magic principles, bought books and sought advice. She really put in a lot of effort.
And now, the truth is revealed, everything is actually! Magic! ! !
She suddenly felt that she was a big fool and was deceived by others.
“How can you…how can you use magic to impersonate magic,” the girl turned her head away angrily, “and you even encouraged me to figure out the secret myself. Do you know how long I have been thinking about it? Do you know how many nights I have tossed and turned, unable to sleep? This…this is so unfair!”
Listening to Hermione’s words, Ye Ting realized that he seemed to have accidentally tricked the other party.
But he immediately thought of a way to deal with it.
Facing Hermione’s words pouring out like a cannon, he only used one sentence to make Hermione speechless:
“I did suggest you to find the truth yourself, but didn’t I also say at the end,” Ye Ting spread his hands, “‘If you really can’t figure it out, then maybe I really can do magic?’ Well, you see, I didn’t lie to you.”
“Ah… this…” Hermione thought about it. Ye Ting seemed to have said something like this at the beginning, and she thought it was just Ye Ting’s humor at the time.
It turns out that the other party was revealing the truth in a roundabout way.
“But…but…” Hermione hesitated, “It’s always wrong to lie.”
“Hermione, I had no choice.”
At this point, Ye Ting sighed and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, his face full of vicissitudes and helplessness, “I don’t have parents. I grew up in an orphanage. After I finally escaped, I could only depend on Linnet. Apart from this, I really can’t think of any other way to support myself.”
Meow meow
Linnet also cooperated and crawled out from Ye Ting’s cloak, letting out a pitiful meow.
At this moment, Hermione seemed to hear the BGM of “Anhe Bridge” in her ears.
It has to be said that the acting skills that Ye Ting got from Linnet were still very lethal. Coupled with Linnet’s cooperation, this made Hermione feel a surge of sympathy and self-blame in her heart – sympathy for Ye Ting’s life experience and experience, and self-blame for revealing the other’s scars.
“…I, I don’t know your situation. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t blame you for this.”
After Ye Ting resolved two consecutive accusations, Hermione had completely lost her momentum and could only say weakly: “But…but you can’t stand me up…I have been looking for you in Trafalgar Square for several days.”
This is even more force majeure.
Ye Ting showed an aggrieved expression, “In fact, the day I met you, I just received the admission letter from Hogwarts. The next day, Professor McGonagall took me to Diagon Alley to prepare for admission. After that, I had to stay at home to practice magic and prepare for the next semester’s courses. I couldn’t go to the performance at all.”
This, this
Hermione was completely speechless. As a freshman, she certainly knew the importance of going to Diagon Alley.
Practicing magic and preparing for lessons seemed natural to her – because that was what she demanded of herself.
What else could she say at this moment?
After all this time, none of her accusations were proven to be valid, and all of them seemed to be pale and powerless.
She thought she was wronged, but she didn’t expect that after she finished speaking, Ye Ting felt even more wronged than her, and she became the bad person instead.
As a result, she had to hold back all her emotions and felt extremely uncomfortable.
Ye Ting heaved a sigh of relief.
He admitted that he had indeed cheated someone.
But, as the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting, and sometimes playing a trick on each other can be considered the beginning of friendship.
Good friends shouldn’t care so much.
Thinking of this, Ye Ting, who had gotten away with it, took advantage of the situation and immediately changed the subject:
“By the way, I just saw you waving your wand at this wall. What are you doing? Experimenting with new spells?”
Ye Ting kept talking about this, and Hermione’s face turned even redder: “I’m casting a spell to find the entrance to Platform 9 3/4.”
“Well “
Ye Ting quickly apologized, “Sorry, I thought you were performing some kind of… um… street art.”
Hermione glared at him in annoyance. When she was at home, she had practiced the spellcasting movements according to the standards, but he treated it as a performance!
“Have you found the entrance?” Ye Ting asked curiously again.
Hermione hesitated for a moment, then raised her fair chin and nodded slightly: “Almost.”
Ye Ting glanced at her suspiciously and thought:
You were waving your magic wand there for a long time, looking like you were directing traffic, but did you really find the entrance?
“Give me a little more time, and I’ll be able to locate the entrance soon.”
Hermione was no longer sleepy when it came to this. She lowered her voice and revealed mysteriously: “Let me tell you a secret. I guess the entrance to Platform 9 3/4 was deliberately hidden by the school. To get in, you have to pass a series of tests.”
When she said this, her eyes sparkled with confidence, as if she was possessed by Sherlock Holmes.
Hearing this, Ye Ting was confused.
test?
He was stunned, and looking at Hermione’s expression, he became a little unconfident.
Did I remember it wrong?
Can’t we just go straight through this wall to get to Platform 9 3/4?
“Then… why does the school do this?” Ye Ting asked tentatively.
“Of course it’s to test us freshmen,” Hermione analyzed seriously, as if she had seen through the school’s intentions, “and then we will be sorted into houses based on our performance.”
Hearing this, Ye Ting almost couldn’t help laughing out loud.
The little girl’s imagination was really big! Ye Ting almost believed her lies.
Seeing her like this, Ye Ting couldn’t bear to let her go further down the wrong path, so he carefully questioned: “Are you thinking too much?”
“What do you mean by overthinking?!” Hermione turned her head away in dissatisfaction, “I bought a lot of magic books during the holidays, and I have memorized all the textbooks by heart!”
“Wow, that’s great!” Ye Ting exclaimed, and then changed the subject, “But what does this have to do with the platform entrance?”

Hermione was suddenly speechless, her whole body was swollen with anger, and her hands were clenched into fists.
This asking-for-a-beaten tone really makes me want to hit someone!
Seeing that she was really angry, Ye Ting quickly changed the subject: “Ahem, um… I think I found the entrance.”
Hermione looked at him in disbelief, thinking he was just arguing with her.
“I’m serious. How about we make a bet of one Galleon?”
He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he slammed his head against the wall.
Hermione’s scream came from behind, and when he came to his senses, most of his body had passed through the wall and entered another space.
“See! That’s how you just pass through.” He quickly walked out of the wall again and looked at Hermione. “You lose. Remember, it’s one Galleon.”
“knew “
Hermione pouted helplessly. Although she was unwilling, she had no choice but to accept defeat.
Today s outcome: Ye Ting s victory.

Chapter 12 Zhang Qiu and Neville (Old Version)
Hogwarts Collector, I Cast Spells with the Eye of God: Chapter 12 Zhang Qiu and Neville
Ye Ting and Hermione passed through the stone pillars one after another and arrived at the real platform 9 3/4.
What comes into view is a deep red steam locomotive that looks like it has stepped out of an old Victorian photo.
The bronze plaque on the body of the car read: “Hogwarts Express, departing promptly at 11 o’clock.”
The thick smoke from the locomotive filled the sky above the platform, and the crowd below was bustling with little wizards rushing to get on the train and parents who were seeing them off.
Hermione dragged her luggage with great effort, recalling her own self-righteous analysis just now. Her ears and neck were dyed with the red glow of the sunset, as if she could dig out a new 9 3/4 platform on the platform with her toes.
She glared at Ye Ting and couldn’t help asking, “Did you know that the wall could be passed through?!”
“No, I just discovered it too. Maybe it takes a little bit of talent.” Ye Ting smiled and said, “Hey, can’t you see it? Then I guess you will be rated as unqualified by the school.”
Hermione’s cheeks puffed up slightly when she heard this, and she muttered angrily, “You lied to me again!”
It seems that it is because a person has stayed in the hut for a long time and has not seen anyone for a long time.
Seeing an acquaintance at once, Ye Ting felt very close and always wanted to tease her.
After checking his watch and realizing that it was almost time to leave, Ye Ting stopped teasing the angry little cat and reached out to take the heavy object from her hand:
“Okay, okay, no more jokes, we have to get on the bus quickly and not miss the departure time.”
When they boarded the carriage, it was already bustling with activity. Students were either leaning out of the windows to say goodbye to their families or playing and joking inside the carriage.
There are not many empty seats left in the carriage.
Ye Ting led Hermione all the way and finally found an empty box near the rear of the car.
It was said to be an empty box, but in fact there was already a girl sitting inside.
This was a Chinese girl, and Ye Ting was stunned at the first sight of her.
Her eyes are like autumn water, her eyebrows are like distant mountains, her lips are like cherries, her skin is whiter than snow, and her black hair is casually draped over her shoulders like a waterfall. Although she is still young, she already reveals the charm of a classical beauty.
In terms of appearance, she is even better than Hermione – of course, this may also be the result of Hermione not dressing up on a daily basis.
Ye Ting’s heart was moved. This was the first time he met an Oriental person of the same age in the UK.
Especially on the train to Hogwarts.
The girl also saw Ye Ting and immediately waved to him enthusiastically. She seemed very happy to meet a member of the same tribe on the train.
Ye Ting walked in and asked, “Is there any vacancy here?”
The girl shook her head. “All the seats here are empty.”
“That’s great.” Ye Ting happily took Hermione to sit down and put the luggage on the shelf.
After settling down, he turned to the oriental girl opposite and greeted her enthusiastically:
“Hello, my name is Ye Ting, and I’m a freshman this year.”
He said this in Chinese.
A glimmer of surprise flashed in the girl’s eyes, and she responded in Chinese:
“Hello, Ye Ting, my name is Zhang Qiu, I’m a second-year student, sorted into Ravenclaw House… I didn’t expect you could speak Chinese.”
It was indeed Zhang Qiu… That s right, in the entire Hogwarts, there is no other good-looking Chinese person besides her.
“Who said it wasn’t true?” Ye Ting shrugged and sighed, “I’ve also been to Chinatown, and there are many new generations who can’t even speak Chinese. It’s really…”
The two looked at each other, and there was a feeling of being like fellow villagers meeting, with tears in their eyes.
Seeing that the two of them were talking in encrypted form the entire time, Hermione felt that she was being excluded and said angrily:
“I’m so sorry, but could you please say something I can understand?”
“Sorry sorry!”
The two quickly apologized and switched back to communicating in English.
But this brief exchange in Chinese has created an indescribable tacit understanding between the two compatriots.
As the steam whistle sounded loudly, the train slowly started.
It raced through the streets of London like a dragon, but strangely, like the Leaky Cauldron, passers-by outside ignored the train.
The scenery outside the car window passed by quickly. Half an hour later, the bustling London was left behind, replaced by green farmland and rolling hills.
After a quick observation, Ye Ting understood the uniqueness of this train – in order to avoid being discovered as much as possible, this train deliberately avoided densely populated areas when planning its route.
But this also brought an unexpected surprise, that is, the breathtaking natural scenery along the way, which is absolutely not seen in the city.
In the carriage, the three little wizards began to chat about all sorts of things.
In fact, it was Hermione who was talking mainly. She enthusiastically asked Zhang Qiu about Hogwarts.
Ye Ting also wanted to chat with them, but he stayed up too late last night experimenting with magic and his eyelids were drooping.
So he leaned back on the cushion and soon fell asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Ting was awakened by a loud noise.
He wiped the corner of his mouth drowsily and asked sleepily, “Are we at school yet?”
But no one answered.
The noise around him became increasingly sharper, with cries, screams, and heart-wrenching cries intertwined together, forcing him to open his eyes.
Then he saw three teenagers fighting fiercely at the door of the carriage.
To be more precise, it was two short and fat guys beating up a round-faced teenager one-sidedly.
The round-faced boy was at a clear disadvantage both in terms of size and numbers, and was pinned to the ground, unable to move.
He had tears in his eyes and looked like he was about to cry.
But even so, he still gritted his teeth stubbornly and refused to beg for mercy.
Hermione was so anxious that she was spinning around, shouting, “Stop it! Stop it now!”
As for Zhang Qiu, she had already drawn her wand and was ready to take action.
“What’s going on?” Ye Ting was confused.
“Just now when they were passing by, Longbottom’s toad jumped on their faces.”
When Hermione saw Ye Ting wake up, she quickly complained to him, “They got angry and scolded Longbottom’s parents, and then they started fighting.”
Ye Ting nodded slightly after hearing this, then pressed down Zhang Qiu’s magic wand.
“Let the boys handle fighting, just watch me.”
“Yeah.” Zhang Qiu obediently put away his wand.
Hermione was a little worried: “You won’t get into trouble, will you?”
“Don’t worry, I will convince you with my virtue.”
Ye Ting’s attitude was very casual. He didn’t even take out his wand. He just stretched it forward casually:
“?Fingertip Thunderstorm?!”
With a “swish” sound, a trace of electric current shot out from Ye Ting’s hand and accurately hit the two little fat boys.
The two little fat guys were punching and kicking Neville, and suddenly they felt paralyzed all over and their hair stood on end.
They just remained frozen in place with their arms and legs stretched out and kicking, their whole bodies shaking like sieves, as if they were having an epileptic seizure, and it took them a long time to recover.
“What on earth did you do to us?” As soon as they recovered, the two little fat guys became furious. They abandoned Neville and rushed straight towards Ye Ting, the culprit.
But as soon as they took a step, Ye Ting stretched out his hand again.
The two boys started shaking again.
Next, Ye Ting continuously released weak electric currents to the two of them as if he was controlling a puppet.
The two little fat boys completely lost control of their bodies. They trembled and paused from time to time, shouting and yelling, and were as happy as two 200-pound children.
After a while, Ye Ting stopped the electric shock.
The two men at this moment were completely powerless in front of him. They just looked at him, trembled subconsciously, and quickly took two steps back. It was obvious that they knew who was the boss.
Ye Ting sighed, helped up the round-faced boy who was beaten, and then patted the two fat boys’ shoulders heavily with his hands.
“We are all classmates. Why can’t we sit down and talk it out?”
Ye Ting said earnestly, “Fighting at every turn is not what a wizard should do. Remember, strength is not used to bully the weak. You must get along well with your classmates in the future, understand?”
Feeling the weak electric current coming from Ye Ting’s hand, the two little fat boys were so scared that they had snot and tears running down their faces. They cried and apologized to the round-faced boy, saying that they regretted it very much and vowed never to bully their classmates again.
“A good child is one who knows when to make mistakes and corrects them.”
Ye Ting nodded with satisfaction and let them go.
Seeing Ye Ting let go, the two little fat boys ran away and disappeared at the end of the carriage.

Chapter 13: Conquering Others with Virtue (Old Version)
Hermione was stunned by Ye Ting’s actions. After a long while, she looked at him speechlessly, “You call this winning people over with virtue?”
“Of course.” Ye Ting held his hands behind his head, his lips curled up slightly, “Look, haven’t they both become good kids under my ‘influence’?”
The round-faced boy had just been helped up by Ye Ting, and his legs were still a little weak.
He swallowed tremblingly and reminded in a low voice: “Goyle and Crabbe are just Malfoy’s followers. They will not give up. They will definitely go to find Malfoy… and then come back to cause trouble…”
“Don’t be afraid. The more you show your weakness to these little hooligans, the more they will push you further.”
Ye Ting patted his shoulder nonchalantly, “If Malfoy dares to come, I’m here for you. Then, I’ll convince you with my virtue.”
Hermione rolled her eyes, obviously doubting Ye Ting’s “conquering people with virtue”.
Neville was so moved that his eyes turned red, and he wished he could immediately recognize Ye Ting as his big brother!
“My name is Ye Ting. I’m a freshman this year. What’s your name?” Ye Ting asked casually.
“Neville Longbottom.” The round-faced boy stuttered nervously.
Oh, another important character in the original work.
Ye Ting nodded. Neville was still a little timid now, and not yet the future Gryffindor Sword Master.
Next, the other two introduced themselves:
“I’m Hermione Granger.”
“Hello, I’m Zhang Qiu from the second grade.”
Next, they talked about the melee that had just occurred.
“Ye Ting, how did you do that?” Zhang Qiu looked at his fellow villager in amazement. “I mean, you didn’t use a wand or chant a spell to perform the magic you just performed when you raised your hand. Right?”
“Is there anything special about this spell?” Hermione asked Zhang Qiu puzzledly.
“That’s not just special, it’s a very difficult skill,” Zhang Qiu explained, “Many senior students, even some Aurors can’t do it.”
“Ah, so it’s so powerful!” After hearing Zhang Qiu’s words, Hermione looked at Ye Ting with a different look, “I saw Ye Ting always use magic like this, I thought it was very simple!”
Seeing that Zhang Qiu and Neville were looking at her curiously, Hermione told them about Ye Ting’s magic performance during the holidays.
During the magic performance, Hermione didn’t hear Ye Ting recite any spells.
Zhang Qiu was even more shocked after hearing this. He looked at Ye Ting as if he was looking at a monster. “A student as outstanding as you will definitely be the top student after admission. How about coming to Ravenclaw? There are many wizards as outstanding as you here.”
“Why would he join Ravenclaw?”
Hermione turned her head away in dissatisfaction, her fluffy hair trembling slightly with her emotions.
“I heard that Gryffindor is the best college. Even Professor Dumbledore graduated from there. I want to go there, too… Of course, Ravenclaw is also good, but…”
“Yeah, that’s what everyone says.” Neville’s voice was a little low, “Everyone in my family is Gryffindor, but looking at me like this, I guess I can only go to Hufflepuff. At home, I’m always treated as a Squib.”
He forced a bitter smile. “My uncle Algie always tried to put me in danger when I was not prepared in order to force me to show my magic. One time, he pushed me off the Black Lake Pier, and I almost drowned…but what was the result? Nothing happened. Perhaps, I really don’t have a talent for magic.”
“Be more confident, buddy.” Ye Ting patted his shoulder and said comfortingly: “At least in my eyes, you are quite consistent with the characteristics of a Gryffindor, just because you didn’t give in when you were beaten just now.”
After hearing Ye Ting mention that he was beaten, Neville seemed even more depressed.
After Neville finished speaking, Hermione and Zhang Qiu looked at Ye Ting together: “What about you? Which college do you want to go to?”
Ah, this
Ye Ting’s heart tightened when he looked at the two beauties in front of him.
He could easily see, and he clearly felt, that both of them had already had a preset position before asking the question.
Zhang Qiu definitely wants him to enter Ravenclaw, while Hermione prefers Gryffindor.
In fact, one of these two girls is a rare fellow villager, and the other is a new friend. Moreover, both of them are very beautiful and have likable personalities, which completely meet his standards for further communication.
He doesn’t want to offend anyone, and he doesn’t want to give up on anyone.
He opened his mouth, but didn’t know how to answer so as not to offend anyone, and he felt unlucky in his heart.
I haven’t even started anything yet, and you want to give me a preview of the Shura scene, right?
Just when Ye Ting was racking his brains over how to smooth things over, Neville unexpectedly came to his rescue.
“Liv! Liv is missing!” His voice suddenly rang out, breaking the awkward atmosphere.
Neville frantically searched his pockets, then laid on the ground and looked around.
Well done Neville, you are such a brother!
In Ye Ting’s eyes, the little fat boy suddenly became much cuter.
Interrupted by Neville, Hermione frowned and asked, “Who is Rafe?”
“It’s the toad just now.” Neville said in a crying voice, “It’s my pet.”
Zhang Qiu tried to comfort him: “Could it be hidden in some corner of the carriage?”
“No,” Neville shook his head, “Livault always runs away. Every time we can’t find him, it means he has run away from home again.”
He said anxiously: “Maybe it doesn’t like me hugging it to sleep at night.”
There was a moment of silence.
Nanawei s hobby is indeed a bit different. Others like to pet cats and dogs, but you like to pet clams, and even cuddle with them before sleeping… No wonder Leif wanted to run away.
Seeing Neville so anxious, Hermione and Zhang Qiu also began to help look for Rafe’s trace in the carriage.
Ye Ting did not stand up, but picked up Linnet in his arms and asked, “Do you know where Neville’s toad went?”
Hermione thought it was a little funny that Ye Ting asked the cat this, but Linnet raised her head and meowed seriously.
Ye Ting nodded slightly and said to everyone, “Don’t look for him anymore. Linnet told me that Leif was beaten in Neville… uh, I mean he ran away during the fight.”
“Can you understand cats?” Hermione was very surprised when she saw this.
It’s not like she hasn’t seen pets communicate with their owners, but it was usually just simple commands and responses.
This was the first time she had seen a cat that could express such complex thoughts and an owner who could understand it all.
“Yes, but only for Linnite.” Ye Ting explained.
Hermione and the others immediately showed expressions of understanding.
As orphans, Ye Ting and Linnitte depended on each other for survival, and it might be through this mutual reliance that they developed a unique tacit understanding – of course, all the above speculations are wrong.
The real reason why Ye Ting could understand Linnitt’s words was that Linnitt possessed intelligence comparable to that of humans, and as he possessed [Eye of God: Catus], he could also turn into a cat.
Neville looked at Ye Ting anxiously, “Then what should we do? This train is so big, where should we find Laifu?”
“That’s easy. Just ask Linnet. She’s the best tracking expert.”
Ye Ting said this and patted Linnette gently.
The white cat jumped lightly from his arms to the windowsill, then jumped down and landed steadily.
She turned around gracefully in the box, then glanced at Ye Ting, as if to tell her master that she had found her target, and then ran away.
Chapter 14 Brother Li’s Big Baby (Old Version)
Hogwarts Collector, I cast a spell with the Eye of God: Chapter 14 Li Ge’s Big Treasure Picture and Text
Looking at Linnet’s receding back, several people followed without hesitation, passing through one carriage after another.
But before they had gone far, they were blocked by a group of little wizards.
These people crowded in the narrow aisle, surrounding a black boy with dreadlocks like stars surrounding the moon, with expressions of excitement and fear written on their faces.
“Brother Li, show us your big treasure again!”
“That’s right, Brother Li, please let me see a little gap, otherwise I will be worried about it all night and won’t be able to sleep!”
“Brother Li, please, can you let me touch your treasure? I have never seen one this big in my life!”
Lee Jordan, who was admired by everyone, laughed triumphantly: “Hehehe, my baby is very shy. It’s okay to show it to you, but don’t touch it. It will be bad if you damage it…”
As he spoke, he asked everyone to come closer in a mysterious manner, and then he took out an exquisite box from his pocket.
He opened the box carefully, and a tuft of tempting black hair appeared first, followed by eight long, furry, black legs.
It was a black wolf spider.
Its small eyes are closely spaced, and two dark bands form distinctive patterns on both sides of its body, converging into a point at the back. Its chelicerae are covered with sharp, rake-like teeth.
When the young wizards saw the wolf spider, they began to talk about it with satisfaction.
The boys pretended to give orders and seemed to be disdainful of Spider-Man;
The girls screamed, showing their “weakness” with excitement and fear.
After a while, Li closed the box, but the little wizards who had not seen enough refused to agree and clamored for him to show off again so that everyone could watch and play.
After a few rounds, the little wizards got used to his baby, became a little bored, and their voices gradually became lower.
Seeing this, Li quickly said, “This is just an appetizer. I have more good things in my car.”
“Could it be a bigger treasure?” Someone asked, unable to suppress his curiosity.
“What a big treasure… It’s more exciting than a treasure,” Li deliberately kept it a secret and invited them warmly, “Come on, you’ll know when you come!”
The enthusiasm of the little wizards was ignited again and they gathered around Li. At this moment, he felt like he had become the brightest star in Hogwarts!
Then, he really shines.
Two spells suddenly streaked across the aisle, breaking the joyful atmosphere.
A spell hit Lee, and he was covered in a blinding white light;
And another spell hit the box containing the wolf spider.
Chaotic screams rang out in the corridor again, but this was not out of excitement, but out of fear!
The wolf spider, which was originally only the size of a palm, expanded rapidly under the effect of the spell, and its body instantly increased to more than half a meter in length. The tiny black hairs on its legs turned into clearly visible bristles, flashing dangerous light; the originally beautiful patterns were now distorted into a hideous and terrifying appearance.
All the little wizards were frightened out of their wits and no one dared to approach this huge baby anymore.
They fled in panic and hid in the carriages seeking a sense of safety.
Lee was hit by the spell just now and felt dizzy and unable to escape, so he became the wolf spider’s prey.
The wolf spider still remembers his scent, and you played the cruelest trick on it just now.
The huge wolf spider suddenly leaped up and pinned him down firmly.
Although the wolf spider did not bite him, the terrifying aura that came towards him made him terrified and scared.
He lay helplessly on the ground, calling for help in a trembling voice, “Help… Help… Anyone can… Get this monster away quickly…”
The little wizard hiding in the carriage only dared to peek at the corridor outside through the crack in the door, for fear that the giant wolf spider would rush in, let alone help.
On Ye Ting’s side, Nawei ran away with his head in his hands, and Zhang Qiu buried his head behind Ye Ting.
Even the usually enthusiastic Hermione was so frightened that she hugged Ye Ting’s arm tightly and trembled. She could only secretly poke her head out to offer advice:
“The book says that spiders are afraid of fire…” As she spoke, she searched her pockets but found nothing, so she turned her head and looked at the oriental girl next to her, “Zhang Qiu, did you bring matches?”
“Matchstick… Are you still a witch, Hermione?” Ye Ting pulled the corner of his mouth, “If you continue like this, the academy will definitely lower your score.”
The girl wrinkled her nose, and surprisingly did not confront him, but anxiously urged: “Hurry up and find a way to save him!”
Ye Ting did not take out his wand. He just raised his right hand and snapped his fingers. The red gem on the ring began to sparkle with fire.
“?Dazzling Light Trick?!”
The next moment, bright sparks suddenly lit up on the ground in front of the wolf spider, like blooming fireworks, brilliant and dazzling.
But it just looks good.
This time Ye Ting controlled the input of magic power, so this fighting skill did not cause a terrible fire like in Ollivander’s Wand Shop.
At this moment, the students watching, especially the senior wizards, all widened their eyes.
They realized that Ye Ting had just completed a wandless silencing spell!
The sudden fire and heat frightened the wolf spider so much that it instinctively dodged the burning flames and loosened its grip on Li.
It landed quickly and then rushed away, trying to escape from this dangerous place.
“Linnit!” Ye Ting shouted.
While Ye Ting was intimidating the wolf spider, his partner Linnett tacitly went around to the side of the wolf spider and was ready to attack. Now when she heard the order, she immediately pounced out and stepped directly on the back of the wolf spider.
Possessing the Eye of God, she has far greater strength than an ordinary cat. Although she is smaller in size, she is able to suppress the giant wolf spider so that it cannot move.
Ye Ting took the opportunity to take out his magic wand and pointed it at the wolf spider:
“Shrink quickly!”
The wolf spider, which was firmly suppressed by Linnet, had no way to escape. Under the power of the spell, it began to shrink rapidly. After returning to its original size, it continued to grow and eventually became only the size of an ant.
Seeing that the prey had become so small, Linnet lost interest and released her claws.
The ant-sized wolf spider took the opportunity to escape and disappeared into a dark corner.
The crisis was finally resolved.
Seeing that Ye Ting successfully dealt with the spider, the little wizards came out of the carriage one after another, applauding warmly and cheering for Ye Ting’s bravery.
Ye Ting showed up among his seniors before school started.
Then he was targeted.
Many witches gathered around, their eyes wandering over Ye Ting, with a strange blush flashing across their faces from time to time.
Such a handsome boy, with an exotic look…
The sharp-eyed witches could see that under Ye Ting’s robe was a very strong body…
Many witches stared with their eyes wide open. When did Hogwarts have such high-quality students?
I really want to get to know you!
However, not everyone dares to do this in public.
“Thank you, classmate.” A tall girl with brown curly hair finally summoned up the courage to speak. “I was really scared just now. Thank you for saving me. Can you tell me which college you are from? Can we get to know each other?”
The students around looked at the pretty senior schoolmate, their eyes involuntarily moved slightly downward, and then they discovered that there was a grapefruit hidden in the senior schoolmate’s clothes.
Many people secretly swallowed their saliva, envious of Ye Ting’s “good luck”.
Ye Ting glanced at Youzi without revealing any expression, then raised his head and looked at the senior with innocent eyes:
“Excuse me, senior sister, my name is Ye Ting, I’m a freshman this year, and I haven’t been assigned to a house yet.”
The witches exclaimed in surprise when they heard this. It turned out to be a new student…
Hello, junior fellow. Compared with those old-timers, junior fellow is easier to fool, isn t he?
The tall senior with brown curly hair waved her big waves and said with a smile: “My name is Penelope Clearwater, and I’m a student of Ravenclaw. I sincerely hope you can be assigned to our college. There are many beautiful seniors here!”
“Well, thank you for your advice, Senior Penelope. I will seriously consider it.” Ye Ting responded seriously.
Hermione on the side pouted her lips almost to the sky. The quality of the senior schoolmate in this school is too poor. She actually “seduce” the junior student in public.
Ye Ting too, couldn’t he be more resolute? Where was he looking at?
hateful!
Zhang Qiu was naturally a little dissatisfied with Penelope’s attitude.
But she and Penelope agreed on inviting Ye Ting to join Ravenclaw, so she didn’t say anything.

Chapter 15: Finding Laifu and meeting the savior on the road (old version)
While Ye Ting was dealing with the senior student, Lee Jordan stared at him intently, his face full of admiration.
He had been in Hogwarts for so many years, but he had only approached girls a few times. But this boy was getting along well with them not long after arriving.
It’s really enviable.
After waiting for a long time until all the senior students left, Li finally had the chance to come up and communicate with Ye Ting.
“Brother, this time it’s all thanks to you… Your name is Ye Ting, right?”
Li patted Ye Ting on the shoulder and said generously, “In the future at Hogwarts, if anyone dares to cause trouble for you, just mention my name!”
As he said this, he showed off the tattoo on his arm.
But in Ye Ting’s eyes, he had no aura at all and looked like a little gangster.
Even the quality of the fancy tattoos was not very good. They began to fade after being soaked by sweat.
Ye Ting seriously suspected that the big gold chain around Li’s neck would also float away when he took a bath?
The two chatted for a while, and Li said goodbye to him: “I still have to go find the person who did this. That wolf spider must have been cast under the [Enlargement Spell]!”
“Do you know who did it?” Ye Ting asked curiously.
“Who else could it be? It must be the Weasley brothers!” Lee gritted his teeth and said, “They wanted to borrow my wolf spider to do some mischief before and wanted to throw it into the Slytherin carriage, but I refused.”
“But I guess you can’t beat them.” Ye Ting reminded at the right time.
“It doesn’t matter if I can’t beat them!” Li showed a sly smile, “I heard that their younger brother is also enrolled this year, his name is Ron Weasley. Hehe, I will go and cause trouble for him!”
Ye Ting mourned in his heart for his savior s best friend.
Who made you have this pair of brothers who betray their younger brother?
Li rolled up his sleeves and ran towards a carriage in a hurry.
Without the excitement to watch, the crowd dispersed like the tide.
Ye Ting and his friends continued to look for Neville’s pet.
They soon reached the next car, and Linnet rushed to the luggage rack and meowed.
Ye Ting looked over and pointed to a corner on the luggage rack and asked, “Neville, look over there, is that your precious toad?”
Neville looked in the direction Ye Ting’s finger, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he rushed forward.
“Raifu!” He held the toad in his palm and rubbed it vigorously with his round face. “I finally found you, Leifu, don’t leave me again.”
Leif made a miserable “quack” sound and struggled hard to escape from the clutches of passion.
Seeing this scene, Ye Ting couldn’t help but laugh.
He finally understood why Leif ran away from home.
The Lyfo is an amphibian that likes dark and humid environments and has a low body temperature. It is a cold-blooded animal.
Human body temperature is simply too high for them.
Neville’s behavior of hugging him directly was undoubtedly a torture in Leif’s eyes.
It would be strange if he didn’t run away!
They were all happy that Neville had finally found his pet.
However, on the way back, when passing a compartment, Hermione suddenly stopped.
There seemed to be two freshmen in that cubicle, one with red hair and freckles all over his face, and the other with black hair and glasses.
At this time, the red-haired boy was about to show magic to the black-haired boy.
Seeing this, Hermione was no longer sleepy.
In fact, the reason why Hermione studied hard during the summer vacation and learned so much magical knowledge in advance was not just because she was strong-willed and studious.
More importantly, this is the only thing she is good at.
Apart from helping everyone with their homework or providing other help within her ability, she really didn’t know how to make friends.
She always felt that she was the kind of girl who should take the initiative and lead the team.
But the strange thing is that if no one asked her for help, such as asking her questions like “Do you know how to use L’H pital’s Rule?”, she didn’t know how to start a conversation with others.
Imagine you want to get to know someone, you walk up to him, what would you say?
This question has always bothered Hermione, and there seems to be no standard answer… She can’t do this question.
She always felt that there was something illogical about making new friends.
This is something that clearly requires the joint efforts of two people, so why should she be the only one responsible for breaking the ice?
Why can’t adults help?
She even fantasized that one day someone would take the initiative to walk up to her and say, “Hermione, the teacher asked me to be your friend.”
This problem has been bothering her during her primary school years.
She hoped her peers in the wizarding world would be different.
Fortunately, she made a friend today before she got on the bus… Let’s just call him a friend.
But this friend didn’t seem to need her help at all.
Whether in magical attainments or ability to deal with problems, he performed better than her.
Whether it was looking for toads or dealing with the giant wolf spider, Hermione felt that she had performed extremely poorly and was of no use at all.
She was devastated and urgently needed a goal to prove herself.
At this moment in the box, the red-haired boy stared at the lazy gray mouse in front of him and cleared his throat.
“Daisies, sweet cream and sunshine, turn this silly fat mouse yellow.”
He waved his wand, but the mouse remained gray and motionless on the table.
“This spell doesn’t sound the same as in the book. Are you sure it’s correct?”
Hermione said as she walked over to the boy with glasses and pulled out her wand.
“Cleaned up”
The oxidized glasses frame on the skinny boy’s nose regained its copper color.
The girl, feeling that she had finally shown off her talent, tilted her head and began to introduce herself:
“Oh, by the way, my name is Hermione Granger, what are your names?”
“Ron Weasley.” The red-haired boy muttered in dissatisfaction, pointing at the fat mouse, “Its name is Scabbers.”
“Harry Potter,” said the boy with glasses.
Ye Ting and others also introduced themselves.
“Oh my god, is it really you?”
Hermione’s eyes sparkled with excitement. “I know all about your deeds! Modern History of Magic, The Rise and Fall of Dark Magic, Important Magical Events of the 20th Century. These books all record your legend, and also… the man who must not be named.”
Not only Hermione, Neville and Zhang Qiu were also very interested in Harry. These children from wizarding families grew up listening to Harry’s stories.
“Voldemort,” Harry began. “His name is Voldemort.”
He glanced at Zhang Qiu, and suddenly felt an impulse in his heart, urging him to show off in front of the other party.
He then recounted his own experience:
“Just last month, I learned that when I was just a baby, an evil wizard tried to kill me. But for some reason, he failed in the end and died mysteriously. Now, strangers keep thanking me for bringing them hope…”
At this moment, the door of the cubicle was pushed open again with a “creak”, and a pale blond boy walked into the cubicle arrogantly, followed by two fat guys who looked like qualified meat shields – they were two old acquaintances of Ye Ting.
Chapter 16 Electrotherapy of Ma Tianlong (Old Version)
“I heard,”
The blond boy drawled out his words, with the demeanor of a nobleman, “Everyone on this train is saying that Harry Potter is hiding in this small compartment. So, you are the legendary Harry Potter?”
His eyes swept over the others as if they were just insignificant weeds on the roadside.
“Yes, that’s me,” Harry answered frankly.
“Oh, let me introduce you. This is Crabbe and this is Goyle.”
The little boy casually pointed at the two followers behind him, and then introduced himself in a rhythmic tone: “My name is Malfoy, Draco Malfoy.”
Ron tried not to laugh, but failed. (Draco’s name is a homophone of Tianlong, which literally means Ma Tianlong.)
Draco Malfoy turned his sharp eyes towards Ron.
“Why, do you think my name is funny? Needless to say, I know who you are. A Weasley, with red hair, freckles, and too many children to support.”
He turned to Harry and said, “I’m not saying they’re bad, but I just can’t see why they exist, Potter. I think you should make some friends of a higher class. I can give you some advice on this.”
As he spoke, he extended his hand to Harry, as if wanting to shake hands with him.
However, the inherent sense of superiority makes this simple action full of the meaning of “I am teaching you how to do things”.
If Hermione’s outspokenness only makes people feel a little uncomfortable,
Malfoy’s condescending attitude was a blatant provocation.
“I think I know who the real outlier is.”
Harry glanced coldly at the offered hand, making no attempt to shake it.
Malfoy’s pale cheeks flushed slightly. He didn’t expect Harry to be so disrespectful to him.
“Potter, I would tread more carefully if I were you.”
He slowed down his speech and tried to imitate his father’s majestic tone, threatening, “You’d better be respectful, otherwise you might follow in your parents’ footsteps – especially hanging out with a bunch of mudbloods and squibs like Longbottom, which will lower your class.”
Harry and Ron stood up suddenly, Ron’s face turning as red as his hair.
Zhang Qiu also quickly drew out her wand – she didn’t want to get involved in the petty fights between the freshmen, but she really couldn’t stand someone insulting her new friend like that.
But Ye Ting was faster than them.
He raised his hand slightly, and the familiar electric current shot out instantly, hitting Malfoy’s neck directly.
Malfoy immediately experienced the same fate as his two former lackeys, and began to tremble as if he were having an epileptic seizure.
“You, you…wait until my father…finds out…” Malfoy’s facial muscles twitched uncontrollably, and he couldn’t speak clearly. “He, he will…ah!”
The whole process lasted for a minute until Ye Ting let him go.
“Crabbe! Goyle!” Malfoy ordered through gritted teeth as soon as he was freed from paralysis. “Teach him a lesson!”
Hearing this, Ye Ting glanced coldly at the two followers.
Goyle and Crabbe immediately recalled the fear and paralysis of being dominated by that man.
The two were suddenly caught in a dilemma.
Escape?
But Malfoy is still here. If the two of them dare to run away in such a disgrace, how can they stay in the family?
But if they really listened to Malfoy and went up to fight with Ye Ting…ha, stop joking, the consequence of them going up would be that they would be electrocuted like Malfoy and turned into Muggles.
They are just slow to react, not stupid!
So the two of them just stood there in a stalemate.
Seeing them dithering, Ye Ting frowned, clearly impatient:
“roll!”
Hearing this, the two short and fat guys immediately got angry, and their clenched fists clattered – they were little emperors who could call the wind and rain at home, how could they have endured such humiliation?
They glared at Ye Ting fiercely and roared:
“Just get out! Who’s afraid of who?”
After saying this, he strode away without looking back and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Malfoy was so scared when he saw his bodyguard yo-yoing like that that he fell to the ground.
Ye Ting slowly walked up to Malfoy, grabbed his collar and easily lifted him up in front of his horrified eyes.
“Listen to me carefully,” Ye Ting said in a cold tone, “My name is Ye Ting, I’m a Muggle-born, and I have a very narrow mind. You call me a mudblood, it’s like a slap in my face, and when I get slapped in the face I get angry, and when I get angry I must fight back.”
As he spoke, he stretched out his other hand and rubbed it in front of Malfoy. There was a crackling sound between his fingers and a spark of electricity appeared.
Malfoy shuddered.
“Did you see the electric shock just now?” Ye Ting asked.
“I saw it.” Malfoy nodded honestly.
“Are you comfortable?”
“uncomfortable.”
“That’s right, you feel uncomfortable.” Ye Ting snorted coldly, “That little bit of electricity is just an appetizer. If you continue to increase the current, you will gradually feel tingling all over your body, difficulty breathing, incontinence, and even… you know, so if you don’t want to lose face, you’d better not mess with me, okay?”
Malfoy no longer had the arrogance he had before. He nodded frantically like a chicken pecking at rice, completely different from his previous arrogant look.
“Now, get out of here.”
Ye Ting let go of his hand, and Malfoy lost his support and fell to the ground again, but he didn’t even dare to make a sound.
He gritted his teeth and climbed up, forcing an awkward smile on his face, then bowed and left the car.
As soon as the door closed, the smile disappeared from his face.
At this moment, Goyle and Crabbe emerged from the corner.
Crabbe looked at Malfoy, whose face was pale, and asked in a muffled voice, “Draco, are you okay?”
“How could I be in trouble?!” Malfoy was about to accuse them of deserting the battlefield, but he didn’t want to embarrass himself in front of his followers, so he could only hold the scene, “You don’t really think that Ye Ting can beat me, do you?!”
“But…” Crabbe and Goyle hesitated.
“I just had a wizard duel with that guy,” Malfoy said. “I beat him so hard that he almost got expelled from school!”
“But “
“Even if they join forces, they are no match for me!” Malfoy laughed proudly and continued to boast, “I am not feeling well today, otherwise, I could make them cry one by one…”
“Why do you have so many buts?!” Malfoy was a little impatient.
“But…” Goyle and Crabbe said in unison, “your butt is sparking and it’s burned a hole in your robes!”
At some point, the spark of electricity ignited his robe, and the flames were jumping happily on his hips.
“Merlin! This is a high-end product that I had custom-made at Madam Malkin’s robe shop!” Malfoy’s scream echoed in the carriage.
Goyle and Crabbe frantically patted Malfoy’s butt and finally managed to control the fire.
“What are you making so much noise for!” A familiar shout came from the carriage.
Malfoy was so frightened that his whole body trembled. His previous arrogance disappeared in an instant, and he returned to his previous humble appearance.
“I’m sorry, I’ll leave now and promise not to bother you again, Mr. Ye Ting!”
He said as he backed toward the car door.
Goyle and Crabbe looked at each other in bewilderment. This is what he claimed was the one who beat Ye Ting so hard that he almost dropped out of school?
I’m afraid he was almost beaten and expelled from school.
“Let’s go!” Malfoy no longer cared about maintaining his image in front of his younger brothers, and led his two followers to escape from the carriage.
Malfoy stopped only when he felt that Ye Ting could not hear their conversation, and then he immediately regained his arrogance.
“Damn those…Muggles, I’ve never been threatened like this in my life! We can’t just let this go, we have to make them suffer.” He said gritting his teeth.
“Draco, let’s not mess with that man. He is really scary.” Goyle showed timidity on his face.
Whenever he thought of that person, he would remember the feeling of an electric current passing through his body, and then he would tremble all over.
“Me too!” Crabbe nodded vigorously.
“You two cowards!” Malfoy yelled, “What are you afraid of? When we get to Hogwarts, we’ll go straight to Professor Snape. With my father’s friendship with him, he will definitely help me.”
He had a smug smile on his face, “Just wait and see, those bastards, I’m going to expel them from school without even attending a single class!”
“No buts!” Malfoy clenched his fists, his face gloomy, “If I don’t get this out of me, I’ll take that guy’s last name!”
After dealing with Malfoy, they quickly said goodbye to Harry and the others and returned to their own carriage.
On the way back, Zhang Qiu, who had been silent for a long time, looked at Ye Ting and reminded him, “Malfoy doesn’t seem like someone who will give up. Will he look for his father, the school director, and Dean Snape?”
“Don’t worry.”
Ye Ting said confidently: “Dumbledore will not let them do this, old bee… I mean, Dumbledore can guarantee this, even if he doesn’t say anything else. Can a school director and a little Slytherin dean be more powerful than the headmaster?”
“I’m sorry, Ye Ting!”
Neville was filled with guilt and whispered, “It was because of the fight between Goyle and the others that caused you trouble and caused you to offend Malfoy.”
“What are you apologizing for?”
Ye Ting raised his head and smiled, “You didn’t do anything wrong. Besides, I treated Malfoy like this because he scolded me in person. I am always right.”
Chapter 17 This is all my money! (Old version)
When they returned to the box, a small cart loaded with various snacks came towards them. The saleswoman pushing the cart smiled and asked enthusiastically:
“Kids, would you like some candy or snacks?”
After a series of twists and turns, it was already past the normal meal time and everyone’s stomachs were growling with hunger.
Neville’s eyes lit up and he couldn’t help but want to step forward, but as soon as his hand touched his pocket, he pulled back awkwardly.
Under everyone’s curious gaze, Neville’s face turned red, and he stammered to explain: “I, I didn’t bring any money. My grandma is always worried that I would lose my wallet, so she didn’t give me any pocket money.”
Is there really such a reason for not giving pocket money?
Everyone was speechless.
“So how do you usually solve the problem of eating?” Hermione asked curiously.
“Granny told me this morning that she would send me lunch by owl.” Neville sighed. Now there was only Nat left on his body.
Oh no, wait…where’s that Knut he secretly hid in his pocket?!
Looking at Neville anxiously searching all his pockets, Ye Ting and the others smiled at each other… Mrs. Longbottom was indeed foresighted!
“Neville, don’t worry, take as many snacks as you want, and I’ll pay for them.” Ye Ting said generously, and then turned to look at Zhang Qiu and Hermione, “The same goes for you two, take whatever you want, don’t be polite to me.”
In short, Young Master Ye will pay the bill tonight.
When Hermione heard this, stars suddenly lit up in her eyes and she was the first to rush to the sales witch’s cart.
Ever since she met Ye Ting, she seemed to have never encountered any good things.
First I was fooled by him, then he stood me up, and I even lost the bet to him at the station.
Even in the areas of study and magic that he had always been proud of, this guy was ridiculously strong.
In short, in front of Ye Ting, she could only suffer defeat.
I, Hermione, hold a grudge.jpg
Since he is so generous in treating her this time, don’t blame her for being rude!
Hermione was calculating in her mind as she searched the snack cart. In the end, she did not forget to wink at Zhang Qiu and Neville, signaling them to come easy and give Ye Ting a good meal.
Zhang Qiucai did not go along with her and just took a few things symbolically.
She smiled and explained, “I plan to join the Ravenclaw Quidditch team this semester. I have to control my weight and dare not eat too much.”
Even Linnet picked out a few that interested her.
As a cat with human intelligence, she is very picky about food and doesn’t even look at ordinary cat food.
Apart from the high-end cat food that Ye Ting specially prepared for her, she only eats human food, and particularly prefers shellfish, black tea and exquisite desserts.
Ye Ting took quite a bit himself, and when he caught a glimpse of Hermione’s malicious look from the corner of his eye, he almost couldn’t help laughing out loud.
He tried to keep a straight face and asked, “Have you made your choice? Don’t take any more?”
“Oh, how embarrassing!” Hermione said politely, but her hands did not slow down at all, and she “by the way” helped Neville pick some cakes.
Not until the table was piled with snacks did she sit back in her chair contentedly and eagerly unpack a chocolate cauldron.
Ye Ting also picked a few more pumpkin pies. Seeing Hermione eating them, he reminded her, “Now that you have picked your snacks, pay for them. Miss Hermione, what are you waiting for?”
The girl was gnawing on a chocolate cauldron like a groundhog, and was startled when she heard this, “Huh? Pay for what?”
“Oh, you forgot so quickly?” Ye Ting showed an expression of disbelief. “We made a bet before, to see if I could find the entrance to Platform 9 3/4, and you lost one Galleon to me.”
As he said this, he showed a “shocked” expression, “No way, no way, you are not going to default on your debt? You are so unbearable to lose?”
Hermione almost choked on the chocolate cauldron and gave Ye Ting a fierce look.
“Who said I was going to default on my debt?”
“Then pay quickly.” Ye Ting crossed his legs and winked at Hermione.
Hermione seemed to hear Ye Ting say to him:
“Ms. Granger, you don’t want Zhang Qiu and Neville to know about your embarrassing incident outside the platform, do you?”
This undoubtedly hit Hermione’s soft spot. She was defeated helplessly and said with gritted teeth: “You are so cruel!”
Neville was stunned. Granger seemed difficult to talk to, but he was so obedient in front of Ye Ting? He paid the bill just because he was asked to?
He is worthy of being the big brother in his heart, so awesome!
Although reluctant, Hermione still took out a Galleon.
The sales witch returned a few Knuts with a smile on her face: “Thank you for your patronage, and enjoy your meal!”
The daily necessities and delicacies of the wizarding world are not only of high quality, but also incredibly affordable.
Think about it, according to the exchange rate, one Galleon is five pounds, which can be easily exchanged for a lot of snacks. Can a Muggle do such a thing?
The reason for this is actually very simple. Due to the existence of magic, every wizard has basic productivity, and even if he does not go to work, he can be self-sufficient.
Simply put, everyone has the means of production, which leads to material prosperity – at least basic living materials.
Of course, these are not the issues that the little wizard should consider. The little wizard just needs to eat.
While eating, Ye Ting glanced at his watch and asked Neville curiously, “Why hasn’t your lunch been delivered yet? It’s already past one in the afternoon. Could your grandma have forgotten you?”
After hearing this, Neville stretched his neck and looked out the window, expecting to see an owl delivering food.
But outside the window there was nothing but blue sky and white clouds, not even a bird’s feather could be seen.
He scratched his head helplessly: “It’s… it’s really possible. When my grandma went to St. Mungo’s Hospital last time, she said she would leave some food for me, but she forgot.”
“Well, don’t be polite, come and eat with us!” Hermione invited him angrily, “If you don’t eat, someone else will eat it all. Don’t let him get away with it!”
As she spoke, she did not forget to glare at Ye Ting who was slowly unpacking the chocolate frog.
This is all my money!
Ye Ting is collecting pictures of Chocolate Frog.
He opened the chocolate frog in his hand and a picture card fell out.
In the picture, a lady wearing a Victorian-style dress and a shining hat is vivid. Compared with the traditional impression of witches, she looks more like a lady from an aristocratic family.
Turning over the picture, the back records the life of this wizard:
“Madame Blavatsky, a great wizard and fortune teller, once became a criminal for trying to subvert the Statute of Secrecy. She had profound attainments in the study of spiritualism and ancient magic, but was hunted down by the Ministry of Magic of various countries because she leaked the secrets of magic to the Muggle world. Her book, The Answer to the Spiritual Science, has a far-reaching influence.”
Ye Ting looked for a long time and finally recognized the person in the picture.
It was Helena Blavatsky.
However, he was still more accustomed to the other party’s form as a purple-haired loli in the neighboring moon world.
After Ye Ting finished reading, he put the pictures away, and then found Hermione, Zhang Qiu and Neville and asked for the pictures they had collected.
To be honest, Ye Ting was not very interested in the Chocolate Frog pictures.
Ye Ting had collected electronic figures in his previous life, all of which could move, run and jump. In comparison, although these paper pictures could also move, they were at most two-dimensional paper people, and they did not feel as good as the electronic figures… which were three-dimensional.
However, as a collectible that is popular throughout the wizarding world, Ye Ting strongly suspects that if he can collect the entire set of pictures, he might be able to trigger the system’s collection reward.
Neville and Zhang Qiu were born into a wizard family. Their family had been collecting picture cards for many years. They didn’t care about these ordinary cards. All they lacked were those rare cards.
Hermione, on the other hand, was very interested in the legendary wizards on the pictures. Every time she found a new one, she would read it carefully before reluctantly handing it to Ye Ting.
Chapter 18: Lightning of Rose (Old Version)
Hogwarts Collector, I cast a spell with the Eye of God: Chapter 18 Rose’s Lightning Picture and Text
When eating chocolate frogs, time always passes quickly, as if some kind of magic has stolen their time and given it to someone else.
As the train sped along, the farmlands gradually disappeared, replaced by lush forests, winding rivers and dark green mountains.
The carriage gradually became quiet.
Hermione buried her head in her book, Hogwarts: A History.
Zhang Qiu opened a book called “The Magic of Quidditch”.
Ye Ting continued to catch up on his sleep.
When the moon rose above the willows, the train finally slowly pulled into Hogsmeade Station.
They changed into robes and walked off the train along with the crowds of passengers.
Hogsmeade Station stood alone in the wilderness at night, surrounded by weeds, looking a little desolate.
This scene surprised the freshmen who were full of expectations.
Where are the magnificent castles and luxurious dormitories?
Am I going to go to school in this shabby place?
What s even more frightening is that the atmosphere around here is simply terrifying.
In the distant forest, the calls of night owls were intermittent, like the calls of ghosts, which made people feel creepy.
Many little wizards were so scared that their legs became weak and their whole bodies were trembling.
Neville held onto Rafe nervously, as if only this little toad could protect him.
Hermione clutched the hem of Ye Ting’s cloak tightly, swallowing nervously, and even began to consider dropping out of school and going home.
Looking at their expressions, Ye Ting couldn’t help but laugh out loud: “Hey, are you guys scared now?”
“Who… who said I was scared?” Hermione straightened her back immediately and pretended to be indifferent when she heard it.
She didn’t want to admit defeat in front of Ye Ting.
“Just don’t be afraid. It’s not a big deal.”
Ye Ting chuckled and lowered his voice in a mysterious manner, “Hey, do you know? This place was the site of witch trials in the Middle Ages. Many wizards lost their lives here, and the resentment of those wizards remained… Since then, Hogwarts has hidden the castle.”
Hermione’s face turned pale in an instant, and she looked at Zhang Qiu hurriedly, hoping that this second-year “senior” could say something to refute Ye Ting.
But Zhang Qiu had already received Ye Ting’s signal, and pretended to be trembling, “I… I seem to have heard of this legend.”
Hermione became even more panicked after being frightened by this couple.
At this moment, Ye Ting’s expression suddenly changed. He raised his hand and pointed behind Hermione, his mouth half open, as if he wanted to say something, but only made unclear sounds.
Hermione made out the words “ghost” from his lips.
Hermione, who was usually brave, was so scared that she screamed and shrank into Ye Ting’s arms.
After a long while, he found that there was no movement around him. He secretly looked back and could only see Zhang Qiu laughing.
She came back to her senses and glared at Ye Ting fiercely.
“You lied to me again!”
“It’s not entirely a lie.” Ye Ting explained with a smile, “It’s true that some wizards will turn into ghosts after death. There are several in Hogwarts. But don’t worry, they are usually very friendly.”
Wow, there really are such things as ghosts in this world?
Hermione was startled again when she heard this.
This is something that is not even mentioned in “Hogwarts, A History”!
Just when the little wizards were panicking and at a loss, a loud voice suddenly rang out in the night.
“First-year students! Gather here!”
I saw a giant of astonishing size walking out of the darkness with an ancestral oil lamp in his hand.
He was almost as tall as two ordinary people, and his messy hair and beard looked as if they had never been combed, which made him look a bit wild.
Seeing this big black bear, Hermione, who was already startled, took a deep breath and said, “This is too scary.”
“His name is Rubeus Hagrid, and he’s our gamekeeper at Hogwarts. My grandmother says he’s a good man, but he sometimes gets into a little trouble.” Neville whispered in Hagrid’s favor.
As a sophomore, Zhang Qiu had to take another path, so he said goodbye to Ye Ting here.
As the new students arrived one after another, Hagrid began to count their heads.
He checked it twice, fearing that he had missed a little wizard.
After confirming that everything was correct, he waved his hand and led the freshmen onto the path to Hogwarts.
The path was dark and winding. It was pitch black all around without even a trace of light. The humid air made the already difficult road even more muddy, and the little wizards stumbled as they walked.
Linnet, who was afraid of getting dirty, just nestled on Ye Ting’s shoulder and refused to get down no matter what.
A little wizard screamed in pain from the front, and a girl stumbled and fell to the ground. Hermione immediately stepped forward and helped her up.
“Thank you.” The girl looked at Hermione gratefully, but when she saw mud on her robe, her eyes turned red and she almost cried.
Ye Ting shook his head and took out his wand: “Clean it up!”
Suddenly, the stains on the girl’s body disappeared, and her robe looked brand new.
“Thank you!” The girl was pleasantly surprised and thanked him repeatedly, with stars in her eyes. “You have already mastered magic, that’s amazing!”
“It’s no big deal.” Ye Ting waved his hand.
But after taking only two steps, the girl almost slipped again.
Ye Ting sighed lightly, and with a wave of his hand, a purple rose lantern appeared out of thin air, emitting a soft purple-white light, illuminating the road ahead.
“Wow, another magic I’ve never seen before!” Hermione exclaimed, “This lamp is so beautiful!”
She moved forward curiously and couldn’t help but reach out to touch the rose lantern.
Ye Ting was quick to slap her hand away and warned her sternly: “Don’t touch this, do you want to be electrocuted?”
The slap was so hard that the girl’s hands turned red.
She opened her mouth and wanted to blame Ye Ting, but suddenly she discovered that there were indeed electric sparks flashing around the rose lantern from time to time.
Just then a moth was attracted by the light and fluttered towards the lantern.
In an instant, a dazzling arc of electric light hit it, and the moth was roasted into charcoal on the spot like a mosquito falling into an electric mosquito swatter.
“Gulp”
Hermione swallowed, realizing what she had almost done.
She looked at Ye Ting strangely. How could this man use such a dangerous spell to illuminate?
In fact, this purple rose lantern comes from Lisa’s ultimate move, [Rose Lightning].
Ye Ting simplified it and significantly reduced its output power so that it could continue to emit light and temporarily serve as a flashlight.
Moths are not the only ones attracted to lights.
In order to see the road clearly, many little wizards immediately gathered around him, and the area around Ye Ting suddenly became crowded.
Through the light, Ye Ting noticed that the girl from before was also among them.
She was a little girl with an oval face, wearing red-framed glasses and golden-red braids, but what attracted Ye Ting’s attention most was her size.
Although they are of the same age, she is two times older than Hermione, even taller than Zhang Qiu who is in the second year.
What a gift.
The group trudged along the steep and narrow path. After a while, someone was so tired that he started groaning and complaining about everything.
Hagrid turned his head and shouted encouragement:
“Come on, kids! Hold on a little longer. After you pass this bend, you will see Hogwarts Castle, where the most splendid scenery in the wizarding world is waiting for you!”
The little wizards, their appetites whetted, gathered themselves together and continued down the hill.
After walking along this mountain road and turning a corner, the view in front of us suddenly opens up.
I saw a vast lake inlaid in the valley like a gem. The sparkling lake surface reflected the sky. On the hillside on the opposite side of the lake, a magnificent castle stood tall.
Although there is no moon tonight, the candlelight in Hogwarts Castle is shining brightly, reflecting the starlight on the lake, making it as bright as day.
Ye Ting stood quietly by the lake, looking at the castle. Even he was amazed by the sight.
Pictured is a gifted
Chapter 19 Testing Talent (Old Version)
Hagrid looked at the astonished expressions of the little wizards and felt very satisfied. This was his favorite regular program every year.
Then he walked to the ferry where the boats were moored and shouted, “Okay, children, now we are going to take a boat to cross this big lake. Remember, each boat can only take four people at most!”
Of course, Hagrid’s words only applied to the little wizard’s size.
A big guy like him could only ride on a boat alone, with his huge body curled up in the small boat like an elephant stuffed in a refrigerator.
Ye Ting picked a boat at random, and Hermione and Neville quickly followed.
After what happened just now, the talented girl with glasses seemed to have identified Ye Ting and became his follower, also sitting on the table.
“Are you all ready? Let’s go!”
Although the boat has no oars or sails, it seems to have life and moves freely in the water. The waves splash onto the little wizards from time to time, bringing bursts of coolness.
Neville felt a little seasick. He leaned against the edge of the boat and muttered, “Why do we have to take a boat? Do we have to do this every time we go to school?”
Hermione, the humanoid self-propelled encyclopedia, explained in a low voice: “It is said in ‘Hogwarts, A History’ that the crossing of the lake for freshmen is a traditional ceremony of Hogwarts… ah ah ah… every year when freshmen arrive at school, they must… ah ah ah… must take a small boat to cross the lake. This is to… ah ah ah… to imitate the four great wizards who first founded the school… ah ah ah…”
Hermione didn’t even finish her words before she sneezed four times, her petite body shivering in the cold wind.
“Here, hold this to keep you warm.”
Ye Ting took out a red rabbit doll from his hat and stuffed it into Hermione’s arms.
The little girl held the doll and felt like she was holding a small stove, which emitted heat continuously.
“Wow, it’s so warm. Is this… for me?” the little girl said with emotion.
However, she found that Ye Ting looked at her in a strange way.
“Well, this is the alchemical doll I tried to make… If you want to keep Count Bunny… that’s fine.”
“Great, I will hold it every day… I mean, I will put Count Rabbit by my bed.”
Hermione had always been humiliated by Ye Ting, and now she suddenly received a gift from him. She was so moved that she almost couldn’t maintain her image.
She didn’t notice that the boy looked at her even stranger.
Who would sleep with an explosive in their arms every day?
Ye Ting thought about it and finally gave up telling the girl the truth.
Anyway, Count Rabbit is very safe. As long as he is not activated, there is no possibility of explosion.
Otherwise Amber herself wouldn’t hold it all day.
The boat soon crossed the lake and approached the cliff where the castle stood.
At this moment, the castle seemed to tower over their heads.
“Keep your heads down!” Hagrid shouted as the first boat approached the cliff.
Everyone followed suit.
But in fact, that was just Hagrid’s judgment based on his own experience. Most young wizards would not touch their heads even if they stood on the boat, so there was no need to do that.
They then passed through a dark tunnel and finally arrived at a place that looked like an underground dock.
Everyone got off the boat, walked along the slope onto a cobblestone path, and finally came to an open and moist meadow.
Climbing up the ancient stone steps, we arrived at a huge oak door.
Hagrid swung his sandbag-sized fist and knocked on the door three times.
The door slowly opened and Professor McGonagall, dressed in an emerald green robe, stood at the door.
Her stern aura made many freshmen feel oppressed, and even their breathing became cautious.
“Professor McGonagall, all the first years are here,” Hagrid said respectfully.
“Thank you, Hagrid. Leave it to me next.” Professor McGonagall responded politely, then turned to the little wizards, “Children, follow me.”
The young wizards followed Professor McGonagall into the castle, and Ye Ting finally got a glimpse of the interior of Hogwarts.
The architectural style inside the castle is simple and elegant, a typical medieval castle style.
The dome is in Greek style, with a tall square drum surrounded by seven Roman-style Corinthian columns and covered with lifelike reliefs.
The spacious hall was as bright as day under the huge skylight. The torches by the windows were burning brightly, and the flames danced happily on the gray-white marble floor.
However, Ye Ting did not have time to appreciate it for too long, as Professor McGonagall led everyone through the winding corridors and finally came to a dim little house.
Everyone rushed in, rubbing shoulders with each other, and looked at their future Transfiguration professor nervously and curiously.
“The opening party is about to begin, but before that, you need to be sorted and determine which house you will belong to.” Professor McGonagall introduced the young wizards.
The children were whispering and talking, but Professor McGonagall just glanced at them coldly, and her majestic look immediately made the cottage silent.
After explaining the four major houses and the house system, Professor McGonagall left the room.
Her departure seemed to have lifted some kind of seal, and the room suddenly exploded.
The young wizards, who were eager to get ready, were discussing the upcoming Sorting Ceremony excitedly.
It is a tradition of Hogwarts to deliberately conceal the Sorting Ceremony. Even children from wizarding families cannot get much inside information from their parents.
“By the way, how did the school assign us to different colleges so accurately?” someone suddenly asked.
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings suddenly became much quieter, and everyone was stumped by this question.
“Maybe we need to pass some kind of test?” Ron began to show off his inside information. “I heard from Fred that the test would be very harmful to us.”
Whether the sorting ceremony was really harmful or not is not the point for now, but these words did shock everyone.
For a moment, everyone felt in danger, as if they were about to face some disaster.
“Yes, my cousin also said that we have to perform a magic trick in front of everyone.” A tall and thin boy immediately agreed.
“You are talking nonsense!” Hearing this, Malfoy began to refute in a hoarse voice, “My father is one of the directors of Hogwarts. He told me that the sorting ceremony is to see if you have magical talent. Only those pure-blood wizards with extraordinary talents can enter Slytherin…”
Testing talent?
A picture suddenly appeared in Ye Ting’s mind:
The boy walked to the test magic stone tablet and placed his hand on it. Five large characters suddenly lit up on the stone tablet:
The power of magic, three stages!
The boy had a blank expression on his face, with a hint of self-mockery hanging on the corners of his mouth. He clenched his palms tightly, but because he used too much force, his nails pierced into his palms, causing waves of piercing pain…
Next, the little wizards split into three factions and started arguing fiercely.
The young wizards from pure-blood families, led by Malfoy, insisted that bloodline and talent must be checked for admission;
And those little Muggle-born wizards would rather believe that there will be an entrance examination.
As for the others, they thought that the school would ask them to deal with a monster as a test. As for what kind of monster it was, there were different opinions, ranging from giants to griffins.
The gifted girl with glasses had tears in her eyes and cried, “What are they going to ask us to do? They’re not going to kill me, are they? I want to go home!”
“Don’t worry,” Hermione said softly, “This is a school after all. If the test was too dangerous, why would the school let everyone participate?”
“I guess, maybe they just ask us to recite a spell, or show a little magic or something like that.”
Apparently, Hermione was still obsessed with her guess during the pit stop.
“I’ve memorized all the first-year spells by heart, and even learned one or two on the sly,” said Hermione proudly. “Of course, I hope they’ll be useful.”
Hermione’s comfort backfired, and the little girl cried even more sadly.
“I can’t even recite a single word. Everyone will definitely laugh at me.”
Chapter 20 This class of freshmen is the worst ever! (Old version)
Seeing Hermione frightened the little girl to tears, Ye Ting almost laughed out loud. He said to Neville, “Look, Miss Granger is not only being silly herself, but she’s also trying to drag others along with her.”
“Uh…yeah.” Neville agreed awkwardly, silently stuffing the textbook he had just taken out back into his bag.
He believed Hermione’s words very much and wanted to memorize a spell or something at the last minute.
Ye Ting miscalculated, he underestimated Hermione’s hearing.
As soon as the word “silly” came out of her mouth, Hermione looked at Ye Ting reflexively.
She put down the book in her hand, crossed her arms, and walked towards Ye Ting: “You are gossiping about me behind my back again, right?”
“No, Neville and I were just discussing whether your spell would work on ghosts.” Seeing that he was discovered, Ye Ting made up a lie, “But I heard that the Sorting Ceremony is to deal with ghosts.”
After hearing this, Hermione immediately remembered her experience of getting off the train.
She made a face at Ye Ting: “If I trust you again, I’ll be a fool!”
Seeing this, Ye Ting used the same trick again. He suddenly showed a look of horror and stared straight behind Hermione, as if he had seen something terrible.
But this time Hermione learned her lesson and was completely unmoved:
“You try this trick again. Do you think I will be fooled by you? Ye Ting, you are the real fool!”
After saying that, she smiled triumphantly.
However, no one laughed with her.
Ye Ting did not feel the slightest bit embarrassed about being exposed, he just looked at her with a strange look.
The girl with glasses had tears in her eyes. She resisted the urge to run away and tugged at Hermione’s clothes, trying to pull her away.
At this moment, a sinister voice suddenly sounded:
“Classmate, can you please make way? You are blocking me.”
Hermione looked over her shoulder.
All she saw was a pearly white, translucent ghost floating behind her.
The ghost’s head was shaking, as if it would slip off its neck and rest on its shoulders at any moment, giving the illusion that the head was connected by hinges.
What made Hermione even more terrified was that there were more than twenty equally terrifying ghosts floating in the distance, with hideous faces. The whole scene was like a nightmare.
“Ah! There’s a ghost!”
Hermione screamed in horror and crashed into Ye Ting’s arms again.
Hermione’s scream triggered a chain reaction, and other young wizards also looked over.
Then, the screams became more and more frequent.
Just five minutes after leaving the small dark room, Professor McGonagall hurried back.
When she was upstairs getting the Sorting Hat, she heard a commotion coming from the small dark room, so loud that she thought the room was filled not with freshmen, but ten times as many Cornish pixies!
Professor McGonagall walked into the room with a frown on her face and shouted:
“I can hear your noise from my office. Do you want to tear down the entire castle? If I don’t come again, will you tear down the house again?”
Her appearance seemed to bring with it a [Silencing Spell]. The originally noisy little wizards became well-behaved and dared not even to make a sound.
Professor McGonagall glanced sternly at everyone present. This was the first time in her long teaching career that she had encountered such noisy freshmen.
This class of freshmen is the worst she has ever taught.
“Can anyone tell me what’s going on?”
Professor McGonagall asked unhappily.
“Professor…Professor, there is a ghost in Hogwarts.” A little wizard told her with tears in his eyes.
He pointed a shaking finger to the corner of the room, where a row of ghosts were looking at her awkwardly.
“I wanted to show you how to be Louis XVI.” Nick, who was almost headless, smiled bitterly and straightened his half head. “Who knew I would scare this little girl.”
“Alright, alright, don’t panic.” Professor McGonagall comforted everyone, “These ghosts are part of our college. They won’t hurt you, don’t worry.”
She turned to Hermione and asked with concern, “Ms. Granger, are you okay? Do you want to go to the school hospital?”
“I’m fine, Professor.” Hermione shook her head, still a little frightened.
“I gave her some sweets, Professor,” Ye Ting interrupted.
“Oh? Really?” Professor McGonagall looked at Ye Ting with appreciation, “Mr. Ye, if the house division has not been completed yet, I will definitely give you extra points!”
Then, she turned around and directed everyone: “Okay, everyone line up and follow me into the auditorium!”
While Professor McGonagall wasn’t looking over, Hermione elbowed Ye Ting twice.
Let you scare me!
Ye Ting cooperated by covering his waist, and as he was in the wrong he did not fight back.
After the team was formed, the young wizards followed Professor McGonagall through the entrance hall and through the double doors into a luxurious hall.
If the hall is characterized by simplicity, elegance, and grandeur, it fully demonstrates the historical heritage of Hogwarts.
Then the auditorium is undoubtedly synonymous with luxury.
The entire auditorium has a rectangular outline, and green granite pillars with exquisitely carved patterns support the hundred-foot-high dome.
Looking up, the ceiling above the dome seems to be a real starry sky, with twinkling stars, rolling clouds, and occasionally a comet streaking across the sky, leaving behind a brilliant rainbow light, which is beautiful beyond words.
Thousands of candles were floating in the air. Under the illumination of the candlelight, every corner of the auditorium was shining, as if it was coated with a layer of golden halo.
In the center of the auditorium, four long rosewood tables were lined up in a row. The golden plates and silver wine glasses on the tables complemented each other, and both sides were filled with students.
In the front of the auditorium, there is a special long table, which is the seat for the teachers.
The students were attracted by this luxurious scene and stared at everything around them. The little emotions they had when they got off the bus had long since disappeared.
Especially for the young wizards of Muggle origin, after seeing Hogwarts, they would not change it for Eton College.
Professor McGonagall walked to the long table and put down a four-legged stool. Then, she placed a wizard’s hat on the stool.
The hat looked quite old, covered with patches and thick dust, as if it had not been cleaned for hundreds of years.
Suddenly, the hat began to twist and turn, as if dancing – but the erratic movements were more like twitching.
Dancing was not enough, and the brim of his hat cracked open, like a mouth, and began to hum a self-composed ballad:
You may think I am not pretty,
But don’t judge a person by his appearance.
If you can find a prettier hat than mine,
I could eat myself.
(10,000 words omitted here)
Come wear me!
Don’t be afraid!
Don’t panic!
In my hands (even though I don’t have any hands)
You are absolutely safe, for I am a thinking hat!”
When the song ended, the audience burst into applause like a tide, as if this was not a sorting ceremony, but a concert of the Sorting Hat.
The Sorting Hat bowed gracefully to the four tables, then pouted playfully at Professor McGonagall and muttered in a low voice:
“Little McGregor, is the song I wrote this year good?”
Professor McGonagall actually wanted to say that this song was not as artistic as the ghosts’ suicide performances.
But considering that the Sorting Hat was only a thousand-year-old child, it might not be able to stand direct criticism, so she said tactfully:
Well, it doesn t seem as good as before, but it s still an intoxicating song.
“I think so too,” the Sorting Hat said, somewhat self-reproachfully. “It seems I need to get in touch with more modern music. I’ll let you taste my new songs when I finish writing them.”
After hearing this, Professor McGonagall sighed deeply in her heart.
Over the decades, her ears had been callused by the Sorting Hat’s distinctive duck voice.
She secretly vowed that if she became the headmaster one day, she would cancel the Sorting Hat singing segment!
Professor McGonagall quickly calmed down, pulled out a roll of parchment from her sleeve, and announced loudly:
“Attention, freshmen, when your name is called, you walk up to the stage, sit in the middle, and put on your hat for sorting. Do you understand?”
After getting confirmation from the young wizards, Professor McGonagall picked up the list and began to read out the first name.
“Hannah Abbott!”
Chapter 21 God’s Eye Determines the Division (Old Version)
As Professor McGonagall began to roll out the names, a little girl with blonde hair and pigtails skipped out of the line and put on her hat.
After a moment, the hat announced loudly – “Hufflepuff!”
The students of Hufflepuff House cheered and applauded, happy that they had come out on top.
At this time, Ye Ting noticed that the talented girl with glasses was still stuttering while reciting the spell, trying to improve herself at this last moment.
“Look what you’ve done.” Ye Ting poked Hermione.
“No… don’t make fun of me…” Hermione blushed, “I just… I just made a wrong guess.”
There were a series of face-saving remarks, such as “everyone is guessing” and “endorsement is always useful”, which made Ye Ting laugh and the surroundings were filled with a happy atmosphere.
Hermione was an honest girl after all. After failing to save her reputation, she ran to the oval-faced girl and wanted to tell her that she had been deceived before and there was no need for her to endorse anything anymore.
But the oval-faced girl answered seriously:
“What if that hat is tested in our minds?”
Seeing Hermione’s choked expression, the girl explained in a low voice:
“I… I’ve seen many young wizards put on hats and it took them a long time before… before announcing the results. I guess they might be stumped by the questions in the hat…”
He really didn’t realize that this girl could be as imaginative as Hermione, and she even added her own settings based on Hermione’s guesses.
To make matters worse, the girl had heard that the worst-performing students would not be sorted into Hufflepuff, nor would they be expelled, but would be sent to… Azkaban.
Of course, the Sorting Hat reading out Azkaban did happen in Hogwarts’ history.
But that was because the Sorting Hat’s [Legitimate Memory] discovered the intruder disguised as a freshman. Normal freshmen would not have this option at all.
But this girl doesn’t know that now she is fighting to avoid going to jail.
Hearing this, Hermione didn’t know how to persuade him.
She felt like no matter what she said, it was like she was trying to send someone to jail.
Ye Ting provided a constructive suggestion:
“If I were to do that, I would severely threaten that hat.”
What he meant, of course, was, “I would threaten the hat severely and tell it not to sort the houses randomly.”
But to the terrified oval-faced girl, everything sounded very different.
“Thank you, really, I never thought that someone would stand up for me…” The girl’s eyes flashed with gratitude, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
For you? When did I ever say it was for you?
Before Ye Ting could think clearly, Professor McGonagall read out a name loudly: “Susan Bones!”
The oval-faced girl heard the sound and immediately walked out of the team.
“Oh, so her name is Susan.” Ye Ting thought to himself.
He remembered that there was a senior official in the Ministry of Magic whose last name was also Bones, so maybe he was a relative of this little girl.
Before Susan sat on the stool, she looked at Ye Ting deeply, gave him a firm look, and then bravely put on the Sorting Hat.
Although this behavior is not dangerous at all.
Ye Ting was a little confused by this look.
But after a while, the Sorting Hat made its decision: “Hufflepuff!”
Susan cheered when she heard that, jumped off the stool, and ran towards the Hufflepuff table. The melon hidden under her clothes rose and fell as she moved, which frightened Ye Ting.
It wasn’t long before Professor McGonagall called out Hermione’s name.
The girl left the line and almost ran to the stool, hurriedly putting the Sorting Hat on her head.
The Sorting Hat took much longer on Hermione than on Susan, almost three or four minutes before making a decision.
“Gryffindor!”
Afterwards, Neville became a member of Gryffindor as he wished, and the Malfoy trio entered Slytherin without any suspense.
The crowd gradually thinned out, and as familiar or unfamiliar names were called out one after another, students were assigned to various colleges one after another.
Shortly after the famous Harry Potter joined Gryffindor, Professor McGonagall finally called out his name:
“Ye Ting!”
Among all the freshmen, Ye Ting caused the second most commotion after Harry. Many freshmen recognized him as the little wizard who had lit lamps for everyone on the road before.
Many senior schoolmates had a glimmer of surprise in their eyes.
Ye Ting’s handsome appearance and exotic style are indeed eye-catching.
But Ye Ting was not affected by these discussions. He calmly sat down on the chair and put the Sorting Hat on his head.
To be honest, he was a little afraid of the Sorting Hat at first.
In other words, he was wary of any magic or props related to Legilimency in the magical world.
As a time traveler, he carries too many secrets.
His true identity, memories of his past life, his understanding of the original plot, and the existence of the system…if any one of these were known to others, it would bring endless trouble.
Even a truly good man like Dumbledore would probably risk great disobedience and forcibly “protect” him.
However, the existence of [Eye of God Hourglass] alleviated his internal mental exhaustion.
Thanks to Lisa’s talent, he quickly mastered Occlumency.
And now, he is ready to try something new.
The moment he put on the Sorting Hat, Ye Ting quietly activated [God’s Eye Rabbit Seat], trying his best to make his spirit resonate with it.
Then, he heard the Sorting Hat’s comments.
“You have endless energy and vigor, flaming energy, and the courage to solve all difficulties. You are also enthusiastic and helpful. I think you are very suitable for Gryffindor.”
Just as the Sorting Hat was about to make the announcement, Ye Ting had an idea and changed the object of resonance to [Eye of God: Catus].
“Wait…I almost made a mistake!”
The Sorting Hat suddenly realized that something was wrong and immediately changed its tone, “Let me take another look… You appear to be talkative, straightforward, and cheerful, but in fact you hide another side that is unknown to others. The real you is shrewd, cunning, and good at lying, but to the people you really care about, you will also show your gentle side… Slytherin, it couldn’t be more suitable.”
However, just when the Sorting Hat thought it had finally found the right direction this time, Ye Ting once again switched the object of resonance.
“Wait? What’s going on? I seem to have made a mistake again?”
The Sorting Hat was almost confused by Ye Ting’s ever-changing personality.
He discovered once again that his previous evaluation was completely wrong.
“You look lazy, easy-going, and muddle-headed, but in fact, you are an absolute genius! Your wisdom is enough to amaze Merlin. You will definitely achieve extraordinary things, and no house is more suitable for you than Ravenclaw.”
Sure enough, after three times, the results all showed that the Eye of God awarded by the system did contain part of the will of the original owner.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been caught by the Sorting Hat.
But it is not something as simple as memory, otherwise the Sorting Hat would not be able to sense the personality of the corresponding character, but certain scenes on the continent of Teyvat.
In short, the principle is very complicated, and Ye Ting can’t figure it out for the time being.
Having said that, the Sorting Hat is indeed very convenient.
Although I was easily fooled, it was entirely because I was smart enough.
Ordinary wizards will be seen through as soon as they put it on.
I don t know how the four founders invented it.
At this moment, Ye Ting even had the urge to snatch the hat and run away.
If you collect the Sorting Hat, you should be able to get a very generous reward, at least at the level of God’s Eye.
It s a pity that I can t grab it.
As he was thinking, Ye Ting looked at Dumbledore on the stage.
Coincidentally, Dumbledore’s gaze also turned over and met Ye Ting’s eyes.
If an ordinary young wizard was stared at like this by Dumbledore, he would definitely lower his head and avoid his sight.
But Ye Ting looked back without fear.
An idea came to my mind:
“He can take his place.”
As long as you become the headmaster of Hogwarts, the Sorting Hat will be yours.
“Interesting kid.”
On the podium, Dumbledore was staring at Ye Ting with a scrutinizing gaze from behind his half-moon glasses.
“If Minerva’s description of him is true… then he is a greater genius than I and Gettler were back then. Children like this must be paid more attention to.”
Chapter 22: Don t Be Too Thin to Death [Additional Updates Requested] (Old Version)
After they looked at each other, they looked away.
Ye Ting also decided on his own college.
“So, you finally decided to sort me into Ravenclaw?” Ye Ting asked.
This time he did not switch the Eye of God again.
He certainly wasn’t going to Gryffindor.
The main reason was that he was not impressed by Old Deng’s series of actions to cultivate a savior, and he did not want to join in.
He had already prepared himself to be a good boy and a good student in Hogwarts for the past seven years. How could he hang out with those troublemakers?
Of course, my preparation to be a good student does not mean that I am a good student.
In order to collect the goods, Ye Ting had to do some things to take advantage of Hogwarts in the past seven years. The Philosopher’s Stone for first-year students and the diary for second-year students were both his targets.
However, if Ye Ting wants to sustainably exhaust his resources, he must do something to hedge.
The professors thought he was a good boy, just a little naughty “occasionally”.
Disguise is important for a good student.
Of course, Slytherin couldn’t go either.
He was a young wizard of Muggle origin, and was ostracized in Slytherin.
Of course, with his strength, he is not afraid of being targeted.
But why should he make himself uncomfortable if he could avoid some trouble?
As for the remaining Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, Ye Ting thinks they are both acceptable.
Unfortunately, in Ye Ting s divine eyes, there is no one who fits the Hufflepuff category.
If he had Xiangling or Noelle’s divine eye, he would probably be conflicted.
But now, he could only choose Ravenclaw reluctantly.
It s not because there are many beautiful seniors in Ravenclaw.
“Yes, that’s right, but I still don’t understand… why your personality changed so quickly, it’s just like… like…” He struggled for a long time and finally came up with a suitable metaphor, “It’s like it wasn’t the same person just now, but three people took turns to be sorted.”
“I think you are hallucinating.” Ye Ting said, “There are so many people in the branch today. I guess you are so busy that you are dizzy and confused with me for others.”
“…Is that so? Many people were indeed sorted into houses today.” The Sorting Hat began to hesitate. “But I am the Sorting Hat. I was made by the four founders themselves. I can’t make mistakes.”
“Do you believe what you said?”
Ye Ting rolled his eyes. “Nothing lasts forever. Even the most powerful people can make mistakes. The four founders were great, but they all lost to death in the end. Hogwarts has been renovated many times over the years. Why do you think you can never make mistakes?”
“It seems so.” The Sorting Hat was almost convinced.
“That’s it,” Ye Ting consoled him, “but fortunately, there are not many people waiting for the sorting. After today’s task is completed, you can ask Dumbledore to support you – you can’t be unwilling to accept even this little benefit.”
Hearing this, the Sorting Hat felt that it was looked down upon by the little wizard in front of it, and said with all its might, “…How, how is it possible? As the relic appointed by the founder to guide successive headmasters, I have a very high status in Hogwarts. Dumbledore listens to me and obeys my orders. It’s just a mere nursing job, he won’t refuse me.”
After that, it announced the results of the division loudly as if to drive people away:
“Ravenclaw “
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and applauded enthusiastically.
Even the serious Professor McGonagall smiled with relief.
The reason is simple: Ye Ting’s sorting process was too long…even longer than Harry Potter’s.
Now, when the moment of successful division comes, everyone s applause is more like a relief – if this division really happens until late at night, will they still be able to enjoy the feast?
There was thunderous cheers at the long table of Ravenclaw College, warmly welcoming Ye Ting to join.
When he walked into the ranks of Ravenclaw, cheers rang out one after another.
Many Ravenclaw seniors were beaming with joy, thinking that Ye Ting s arrival could finally change the situation of more females than males in the academy.
Ye Ting saw Zhang Qiu waving at him at a glance, and Penelope not far away also smiled at him.
The good thing about Hogwarts is that there is no rule of arranging seats by grade.
Ye Ting walked forward and sat next to Zhang Qiu.
Just like Ye Ting said before, he was ranked quite far back, with not many freshmen behind him.
After Blaise Zabini was sorted into Slytherin, the sorting ceremony was successfully completed.
The headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, who was sitting in the guest of honor seat, stood up.
He was wearing a moon-white robe embroidered with delicate red and round gold wefts, and the phoenix pattern embroidered with unicorn fur was lifelike.
The principal had a kind smile on his face. His deep eyes revealed a gleam of wisdom under his semi-circular glasses. He had a high nose bridge, and his hair and beard were already silver-white. Time had left deep marks on his face.
The old man looked around, opened his arms to the students, and said with a smile:
“Welcome, dear children! Welcome to Hogwarts and start your journey in the new school year! Before the banquet begins, I would like to say:”
“Idiot! Crybaby! Scum! Twist!”
Thank you all for coming!
After saying that, he sat down again.
The students looked at each other with question marks on their faces:
I can understand every word the principal said, why can’t I understand them together?
Some of the little wizards nodded thoughtfully, as if they understood the meaning behind the principal’s words.
Others couldn’t believe it. Could it be that someone really understood it?
So, in order not to appear too stupid, many little wizards began to nod and agree in a pretentious manner, and even began to applaud, as if they had really understood the principal’s meaning.
As more and more people started to applaud, the remaining little wizards all followed suit and applauded.
Now, even the professors sitting in the guest seats were inspired.
After a while, the applause slowly died down.
Suddenly, a dazzling array of delicious food appeared on the table:
Roast beef, roast chicken, pork chops, lamb chops, sausages, steaks, boiled potatoes, baked potatoes, fried potatoes, braised potatoes, curry potatoes, fried potatoes…
At first glance, the dishes appear to be dazzling, but in fact, they are very simple in style, using several cooking methods such as roasting, smoking, pickling, frying, and braising, and a variety of combinations of meats and potatoes as the main ingredients.
However, even so, these dishes are far more tempting than the British food that Ye Ting has eaten in the Muggle world.
After a whole day of bumpy train ride and a long sorting ceremony, the students were already starving.
Faced with the delicious food in front of them, they all turned into foodies and started to eat with relish.
Linnet didn’t like potatoes, so Ye Ting filled a plate with meat for her.
Zhang Qiu took a bite of the curry potato on the fork and asked quietly, “What happened just now? Why did it take so long?”
“I don’t know either,” Ye Ting shrugged, “Maybe the Sorting Hat has Alzheimer’s disease.”
The girl with reddish-gold curly hair next to Zhang Qiu revealed, “Qiu was very worried about you just now. Qiu kept talking about you to me before… I’ve never seen her care so much about a boy.”
“Marietta!” Zhang Qiu’s cheeks flushed and he glared at her.
The girl quickly waved her hands and shut her mouth tactfully.
As we ate, the dishes on the table changed. The meat and potatoes were removed and replaced with various desserts:
Sweet apple tarts, crispy outer and soft inner eclairs, fragrant and tempting chocolate sponge cakes, crispy outer and soft inner fried jam donuts, and wine-soaked jam pudding with a strong aroma of wine.
There are also fresh strawberries, chewy jelly, cool and smooth ice cream, and those daunting ice cream assassins in the stores.
Zhang Qiu looked eagerly at the table full of desserts, feeling extremely conflicted:
“I really want to eat…but I still have to control my weight…”
Ye Ting thought for a moment and handed her a piece of pudding: “Pudding is cold and has no calories. Eat it with confidence.”
Zhang Qiu picked up the fork doubtfully: “Really? So eating ice cream won’t make you fat?”
Ye Ting nodded as he ate, looking serious: “If you eat like this every day, you will die of skinny.”
Please collect, please give flowers, please give monthly tickets, please give comments
Chapter 23: The Next Victim (Old Version)
Before long, most of the little wizards were satisfied, and some were even full.
Only then did everyone have time to chat.
“To be honest, I was originally planning to go to Eton College, but in the end I chose Hogwarts. I’m so happy with this decision. Of course, my mom might be a little disappointed…”
a curly-haired boy exclaimed from the Hufflepuff table.
It seemed that he was not the only one who claimed to have a similar experience. At the Ravenclaw table alone, Ye Ting found no less than three little wizards who missed Eton College.
This is because there are relatively few boys in Ravenclaw.
I believe there are more people like this in Hufflepuff and Gryffindor.
The number of students lost to Hogwarts every year at Eton College is almost as many as the number of Lafite bottles in 1982.
Everyone ate and talked, and their relationships quickly became closer.
Finally, when all the desserts were gone, Professor Dumbledore stood up again.
The whole place fell silent instantly, and everyone’s eyes were focused on him.
“Before everyone gets too sleepy, I have a few important things to remind you of.”
Dumbledore’s voice echoed back through the Great Hall, aided by magic:
“Freshmen, please note that the woods on campus are strictly prohibited. Old students should also be vigilant and not forget this.”
Hearing this, Ye Ting raised his eyebrows. He wouldn’t take it seriously.
As the saying goes, if you haven’t been to the Forbidden Forest, you haven’t truly experienced Hogwarts.
He needed to purchase supplies from the Forbidden Forest for his own potion research, and he also wanted to raise a few magical animals to see if he could get a collection reward.
“The second thing is, Mr. Filch specifically asked me to remind everyone that magic is strictly prohibited in the corridors. I hope everyone can exercise self-discipline.”
Ye Ting noticed that when he said this, Dumbledore’s eyes swept over the Weasley twins.
“Third, tryouts for Quidditch players from each college will be held in the second week of this semester. Students who are interested in joining the Quidditch team, please go to Madam Hooch to sign up.”
As soon as the news of the Quidditch selection came out, the captains of each college became excited. They have begun to plan how to recruit students and show their skills in the new semester.
Ye Ting could see that Zhang Qiu beside him had an eager expression on his face.
“The last point, and the most important one…”
Dumbledore’s voice suddenly became serious, and his eyes swept over everyone one by one.
“I must give you a serious warning. If you don’t want to encounter an accident, pain, or even death, then you must never step into the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor… That place is an absolute restricted area!”
Ye Ting sneered. It sounded like he was deliberately covering up something.
He was literally saying, “Go find it! I’ve put all my treasures there.”
At least that’s what the Gryffindors thought.
Dumbledore spoke a lot of words in a very eloquent manner. Finally, he changed the subject and said with a mysterious smile:
“Of course, there is one last thing to announce. This year, we welcome a new member to the Hogwarts teaching staff.”
“Let us welcome “
Ye Ting muttered quietly: “The next victim.”
Zhang Qiu and Marietta couldn’t help laughing when they heard this.
” Professor Quirrell! He will be the new professor of our Defense Against the Dark Arts course in the new year.”
The applause was sparse and somewhat perfunctory.
Dumbledore had finished his instructions, and then announced loudly: “Before everyone goes back to the dormitory to rest, let us sing the school song together!”
The smiles of the faculty and staff seemed to become a little stiff at this moment.
Dumbledore waved the wand in his hand lightly, and a golden ribbon flew out from the tip of the wand, dancing above the dining table like a nimble golden snake, coiling out lyrics shining with golden light.
“Everyone can choose their favorite tune.” Dumbledore said with a smile, “Are you ready? Begin!”
In an instant, the whole auditorium was filled with loud singing:
Hogwarts, Hogwarts,
You are the temple of knowledge and the cradle of wisdom.
No matter old or young, smart or ordinary,
We yearn for knowledge to fill the harbor of our souls.
At this moment our hearts are a little empty,
Pursue the light of truth and dispel all confusion.
Grant us the wisdom we have forgotten,
Guide us forward and illuminate the direction.
We will do our best to move forward.
Until the end of life, dust to dust, earth to earth…
Everyone sang the school song in a scattered manner. Various styles of music were intertwined, including pop, rock, country, electronic music, folk music, jazz… and even singing and dancing, rap…
Finally, everyone fell silent except for the Weasley twins, who continued to sing along to the slow melody of The Funeral March.
Dumbledore conducted the last few bars for both of them with his wand, and when they had finished he applauded loudest.
“This school song is free, but it’s also really unpleasant to the ear.” Ye Ting sighed silently.
He even suspected that the Sorting Hat’s musical cells had been damaged after listening to the tune-out school song for so many years that it could no longer compose any decent music.
“I can’t go on like this…” Ye Ting made up his mind, “Next semester, I have to let these country wizards see the true charm of music!”
Dumbledore didn’t know that Ye Ting already had a package plan. He was wiping away tears with his hands, not sure if they were from being moved.
“Music!” He stood up and sighed with emotion, “Its charm far exceeds everything we do.”
Then, he said the closing words of the banquet: “Now, it’s time for everyone to return to their dormitories and enjoy a quiet night.”
All the students stood up in unison, and the prefects moved among the crowd to maintain order.
“First-year students, follow me!” Senior Penelope shouted loudly, raising her arm to signal the first-year students to gather around her.
Ye Ting moved forward slowly with the crowd. However, before the team left the auditorium, there was a sudden commotion from the Slytherin side.
At the same time, Ye Ting heard a sharp, piercing, and pretentious voice calling him.
“Ye Ting! Ye Ting! Your crime has been exposed, don’t even think about running away!”
Ye Ting turned his head and saw Malfoy’s face with a arrogant smile.
And behind Malfoy followed Professor Snape.
No matter which angle you look at it from, this Slytherin professor exudes a gloomy temperament.
His eyes were cold and empty, his hooked nose was exaggeratedly bent, his black hair was greasy and stuck to his scalp, as if oil would drip out at any time, and the way he walked was like he was gliding on the ground, reminiscent of a dark old bat.
The black cloak with a white background that was dragging on the ground looked like it hadn’t been washed for half a year and exuded an indescribable smell.
With Snape as his backer, Malfoy became even more arrogant and said provocatively: “Ye Ting, do you think you are good at fighting? What’s the point of being able to fight? To get involved in this world, you need power and background!”
The sky cleared up, the rain stopped, and this guy thinks he’s good enough again?!
As expected, this guy’s ambition is just to be a small jerk.
He doesn’t dare to confront the enemy head-on, but he is good at taking advantage of the power of others. He relied on his followers on the train and now he relies on the professor.
Chapter 24: Big news on the first day of school! (Old version)
“Professor Snape, it’s him!” Malfoy’s sharp voice echoed in the hall, attracting everyone’s attention.
The little wizards around stopped to watch. Some of them who were keen on gossip did not even return to their dormitories just to watch the excitement.
Over in Gryffindor, Hermione and Neville heard Malfoy’s shout, immediately understood what had happened, and hurried over.
“It was him. He attacked my classmates on the train… and even used magic to electrocute me…”
Malfoy kept accusing Ye Ting of his “crimes” relentlessly, his tone full of pride. If you didn’t know him well, you would think he was enjoying it.
Professor Snape narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Ye Ting with his dark pupils, and said lazily:
“Is that what happened?”
Facing Snape’s questioning, Ye Ting remained calm, shrugged lightly, and asked, “Is there any evidence to prove that I did it?”
“Of course!” Malfoy puffed out his chest and pointed to a spot on his neck. “Look, this is where I was electrocuted! Goyle and Crabbe both witnessed it!”
Ye Ting smiled contemptuously and walked closer to Malfoy, as if he wanted to see the so-called “evidence” with his own eyes.
Looking at Ye Ting’s face that was getting closer and closer, Malfoy immediately recalled the experience of electric therapy and instinctively began to tremble all over.
But he quickly reminded himself that Professor Snape and many classmates were present and he must not show any cowardice.
“Do you think I’m afraid of you?” Malfoy shouted fiercely, “If you hadn’t attacked me by surprise, I would have defeated you long ago!”
“Oh? This is what you call a wound?”
However, Ye Ting did not care about his provocation, but laughed at his wounds.
“Oh? This is what you call evidence? You said I electrocuted you? I said it was a hickey! I saw it with my own eyes on the train. Crabbe was very intimate with you and left a strawberry mark on your neck… Neville and the others can testify to it.”
Neville finally squeezed to the front of the crowd, but with Ye Ting’s words he became the focus of everyone.
Being stared at by so many people, he felt a little at a loss. Thinking of Ye Ting’s previous care for him, a surge of courage surged in his heart.
“Yes! I can testify to this!” Neville said loudly, “I saw Crabbe and Malfoy being very affectionate on the train. They were hugging each other tightly, and Goyle was slapping Malfoy’s butt…”
Hermione also stood up. She had always been a city child, but at this moment, in order to prevent Ye Ting from being expelled, she gritted her teeth and said that she had seen it too.
As soon as these words were spoken, the little wizards were immediately excited. Such a big news was revealed on the first day of school, which was really beyond everyone’s expectations.
Malfoy’s face turned pale and he was so angry that he jumped up and down. “You are maliciously spreading rumors! It’s all nonsense!!”
At this moment, a witch who looked like a lion dog suddenly jumped out from the crowd, covered her face with her hands, and sobbed and accused:
“Draco, I finally understand why you have been so cold to me. It turns out that you only have Crabbe and Goyle in your heart… You are always like shadows, I should have noticed it earlier…”
“Pansy, please don’t listen to their nonsense!”
Malfoy’s voice was trembling with anger, and he almost gritted his teeth to squeeze out these words.
But this is not the end. In the end, it was Zhang Qiu who delivered the fatal blow:
“That Malfoy is just crying wolf. He even openly insulted Ye Ting and Granger as ‘mudbloods’!”
“Oh my God! He really went too far!”
“Did he really say that? This is unbelievable!”
The onlookers were even more shocked.
Only Hermione was still confused.
“I wanted to ask you this in the car,” she whispered to Ye Ting, “Why do you…” when you heard that word?
“That’s the most insulting word Malfoy could think of for Muggles,” Ye Ting explained, “It’s like someone saying ‘Chink’ to me, or ‘Neck’ to Lee Jordan.”
Hermione suddenly felt that it was too easy for her to cooperate with Ye Ting in making up rumors.
She regretted a little why she didn’t add a sentence about Malfoy sticking out his tongue.
That s enough!
Professor Snape interrupted them coldly, and his eyes turned noticeably colder when he looked at Malfoy.
The title brought back painful experiences in his past.
Malfoy’s attitude has proved that Zhang Qiu’s words are true.
He didn’t want to care about this matter anymore.
At this moment, the crowd automatically made way for a passage, and the head girl Penelope Clearwater hurried over with the short Professor Flitwick.
When Ye Ting looked at her, she blinked at him.
No wonder she disappeared after Snape came, it turned out that she went to ask for help.
Professor Flitwick was also a man who protected his own shortcomings. He said to Snape bluntly, “Professor Snape, are you interrogating my students? If you don’t have solid evidence, please don’t frame them at will.”
Seeing Professor Flitwick, Snape’s face flashed with a look of relief, as if the toilet cubicle he had been waiting for for a long time had finally been vacated, and he immediately gave up the task: “In that case, I’ll leave this place to you.”
As he spoke, he disappeared into the crowd.
Malfoy was stunned. Did his backer, Dean Snape, just abandon him like that?
Looking at the receding figure, he felt mixed emotions and wanted to shout out:
“Professor Snape, Professor Snape…How can I live without you…Professor Snape…Professor…Professor…Please take me away…Professor!”
Having lost the protection of Professor Snape and with the presence of the other party’s professor, he no longer had the courage to stay and hurriedly fled the scene.
Before leaving, he subconsciously looked back at Ye Ting.
Then he met Ye Ting’s “kind” eyes.
At that moment, Malfoy shuddered and felt as if he was being stared at by the god of death.
With the end of this farce, the little wizards, who no longer had melons to eat, could finally return to their dormitories with peace of mind.
Ye Ting said goodbye to Hermione and Neville who came to help, and Zhang Qiu also left first with other senior wizards.
Professor Flitwick also left. Before leaving, the short professor stood on tiptoe and patted Ye Ting’s… waist.
“Don’t worry, kid. Hogwarts won’t protect that kind of guy.” He seemed very satisfied with Ye Ting’s behavior. “Next time you see someone saying that, you can punch him boldly… just don’t go too far.”
Ye Ting nodded. He liked this kind of professor.
Next, Ye Ting and other freshmen followed Penelope to line up and return to the dormitory.
Because he had caused a sensation on the train and had just played a prank on Slytherin Malfoy, Ye Ting had become the focus among the Ravenclaw freshmen.
Especially the female classmates, they surrounded him and asked questions curiously, making him overwhelmed.
Chapter 25 Ravenclaw Common Room (Old Version)
The group walked out of the auditorium and climbed the marble staircase.
The little wizards looked around eagerly. On both sides of the corridor, the people in the portraits pointed at them and whispered as they passed by.
“Everyone, be careful with those spiral staircases,” Penelope warned, “Don’t go in the wrong direction, and don’t get too close to the edge.”
She paused, then continued, “The ever-changing staircases at Hogwarts were designed by the founder of our school, Rowena Ravenclaw.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Ting couldn’t help but sigh: “So, Senior Ravenclaw should be the most powerful witch among the four founders.”
“Why do you say that?”
Hearing this, the other little wizards all looked sideways, and even Penelope cast a curious look.
Could it be that Ye Ting knows some unknown inside story?
Ye Ting touched his chin in a serious tone, “Think about it, Senior Ravenclaw designed the school’s stairs so complicatedly, but she was not killed by the other three founders. Doesn’t this prove that she is extremely powerful?”
The little wizards laughed.
Penelope agreed with Ye Ting’s words, “This speculation does make some sense. Every year, there are countless little wizards who want to kill the designer of the staircase.”
As they chatted and laughed, they arrived in front of a tower of the castle.
A spiral staircase comes into view. It looks steep and long, as if it can lead straight to the sky. Turning around the back makes people dizzy.
The freshmen climbed up all the way and it took a long time to reach the end.
A wooden door without a handle appeared in front of them. The door was extremely simple, just a bare wooden board, without a handle or a keyhole, only an eagle-shaped bronze door knocker embedded on it.
Several senior students who walked quickly were standing in front of the door, thinking hard.
Penelope said easily, “It’s very easy to enter the Ravenclaw common room. We don’t have those complicated hidden entrances like other colleges. We only have a door with a magical eagle-shaped bronze knocker, which is clear at a glance. Moreover, we never use things like passwords. You only need to answer a question on the knocker. Those who answer correctly can enter the common room even if they are from the outer courtyard.”
Her words revealed an undisguised pride: “Unfortunately, in nearly a thousand years, no one except us Ravenclaw students has been able to pass this seemingly simple level.”
“Does this mean that the IQs of students from other academies are a bit… not good enough?” Ye Ting complained inwardly.
Is this the pride of Ravenclaw?
The other little wizards, on the other hand, looked worried at this moment.
For a thousand years, no outsider has been able to enter. How difficult is the problem with the door knocker?
“Oh, don’t worry.”
Penelope seemed to have noticed their concerns and waved her hand lightly, “If you see a dozen or twenty people gathered at the door to think about the door knocker, it’s not surprising at all. This is actually a good opportunity for communication.”
“Maybe you can make some new friends here, or learn some different ways of thinking from other Ravenclaw students, which are all very valuable things.”
“Of course, if you forget to bring your Quidditch uniform and need to get in and out the door in a hurry, you might find this door knocker a bit annoying. No,” she added.
Then she stretched out her left hand and knocked lightly on the door.
The eagle’s beak on the door knocker opened in response, and a voice as gentle as music came out slowly: “I am the black son of a white father. I am a wingless bird, but I can fly straight up. When I came into the world, people around me shed tears, but once I was born, I disappeared into the air and all things. Who am I?”
“Oh, this is an interesting question.” Penelope said to a boy standing in front of the door, “No wonder you are all stumped, Roger.”
Roger rubbed his head awkwardly: “Yeah, answering questions is much harder than playing Quidditch.”
“So, who wants to try to answer this question? Don’t be shy, freshmen!” Penelope looked at the freshmen encouragingly.
All students who are selected into Ravenclaw are a little proud, and no one wants to admit defeat, so all the freshmen fell into deep thought.
After waiting for a while and seeing that no one came forward, Ye Ting took a step forward calmly.
“Senior, can I try?”
“sure.”
Penelope moved sideways to make room for Ye Ting.
Ye Ting came to the Eagle Ring and said, “You are smoke.”
“Excellent!” the voice exclaimed.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the lounge opened.
“Well done!” Penelope patted Ye Ting’s shoulder excitedly.
Ye Ting’s intelligence and quick wit impressed her. In previous years, only a few freshmen could answer the questions, let alone give answers as quickly as Ye Ting.
Ravenclaw wizards have a natural reverence for wisdom, and Penelope is no exception.
At this moment, her appreciation for Ye Ting increased a little more. In her eyes, in addition to being handsome and good at fighting, Ye Ting had another advantage.
When everyone finally stepped into the Ravenclaw common room, it felt like they had arrived at a blue library.
This lounge has a magnificent circular layout, with bookshelves neatly arranged on the walls, each of which is densely packed with various books.
These precious books were all generously donated by successive generations of Ravenclaw students.
One of the important reasons why Ye Ting chose Ravenclaw was its rich collection of books.
Although the Hogwarts library has a large collection of books, there are still many books that are not in the library and can be found in the Ravenclaw common room.
Between the bookshelves, there are elegantly shaped arched windows, and the curtains are made of blue and bronze silk, exuding a sense of nobility and elegance.
During the day, Ravenclaw students can look out through these windows at the rolling hills and feel the grandeur and beauty of nature.
The dome ceiling of the lounge is magically painted with stars, which echo the star pattern on the dark blue carpet below, as if the entire starry sky was moved into the room.
The room is furnished with tables, chairs and bookshelves to facilitate students’ communication and learning.
In the niche opposite the door stood a white marble statue of Rowena Ravenclaw.
This is a statue of Rowena Ravenclaw.
She has a faint smile on her face, and she is intelligent, beautiful, and majestic. Above her head, there is an exquisite marble ring with small words engraved on it: “Extraordinary intelligence and talent are the greatest wealth of mankind.”
There were not many people in the lounge, only a few senior students were reading or communicating quietly.
They did not show much enthusiasm towards the new juniors, but this was not indifference, but rather the calmness and restraint unique to Ravenclaw.
When all the freshmen entered the common room, Prefect Penelope stood up and gave a brief and enthusiastic welcome speech to the freshmen.
“Once again, welcome all the little wizards to our common room! This is your future home! Our school emblem is an eagle with wings spread high in the sky. It symbolizes our pursuit – to bravely climb to the peak of wisdom that no one can reach.”
She paused and continued, “I am not exaggerating. This is indeed where the smartest witches and wizards gather. Our founder, the great Lady Rowena Ravenclaw, is the embodiment of wisdom. She gave us a unique quality – self.
Perhaps some people may think we are weird or even narrow-minded. But please remember that geniuses are often lonely, and their pace is always different from that of ordinary people.
Penelope’s voice gradually became louder: “In Ravenclaw, we encourage you to wear the clothes you like, believe in the truth you pursue, and speak your mind boldly. We will not exclude those who are different. On the contrary, we appreciate and respect every unique individual!”
These words resonated with everyone present, and everyone, including Ye Ting, applauded and cheered for her.
Adolescent boys all have a middle school spirit in their hearts. They desire to be recognized and to be different.
Penelope’s words undoubtedly deepened their sense of self-identity.
Sometimes, a person’s character is shaped through this repeated emphasis, thus forming the style of the entire college!
Chapter 26 Have you ever seen Hogwarts at five in the morning? (Old version)
Amid the applause and cheers, Penelope breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled and led the freshmen to the door behind the Ravenclaw statue.
Behind the door are two passages leading to the dormitories, the men’s dormitory on the left and the women’s dormitory on the right.
After a whole day of hard work, Ye Ting finally arrived at the dormitory.
The dormitory was spacious, decorated in the same style as the lobby, with sky-blue decorations dotted throughout, making it look fresh and peaceful. Each of the four beds had four curtain posts, with bronze flannel curtains hanging from the posts, adding a touch of mystery and elegance.
Linnet had already sneaked into the dormitory before Penelope’s speech.
There are too few boys in Ravenclaw, and this year’s freshmen can barely fill up one boys’ dormitory.
At this moment, Linnet was sitting proudly on the bed, dozing with her eyes slightly closed.
Not far away, three owls huddled together fearfully, obviously acknowledging Linnet’s status as the boss of the dormitory pet world.
Everyone washed up, changed into soft pajamas, and prepared to fall asleep.
Linnet lay in Ye Ting’s arms, looking out the window.
Outside the window, the moonlight shines on the sparkling black lake, and the forbidden forest looks particularly mysterious in the night.
Ye Ting fell asleep quickly, and Linnet also got into bed and snuggled up to his arm. Her tail gently curled around Ye Ting’s arm, making a satisfied purring sound.
The dividing line of the dormitory
Have you ever seen Hogwarts at five in the morning?
Ye Ting has seen it!
At five o’clock in the morning, when it was just light, Linnet got up and started the wake-up service, constantly licking Ye Ting’s face.
“Don’t make trouble, Linnet.” Ye Ting mumbled in a daze, and his eyes just opened and closed quickly, “I’m so sleepy, let me sleep for a while, and I’ll play with you later.”
After saying this, he lay on his side on the bed and pulled the quilt to completely cover his head.
Linnet blinked her big purple eyes.
Wake you up at five in the morning, that’s what you said last night.
Since the gentle way of waking up her master didn’t work, she could only use heavy punches.
Linnet climbed onto Ye Ting’s belly and stepped gently with her little paws, as if testing the elasticity.
After some preparation, Linnett bent her body, bent her knees, and then jumped suddenly, using Ye Ting’s belly as a trampoline.
“What are you doing Ouch!”
After being tormented by the cat like this, Ye Ting would wake up no matter how sleepy he was.
Ye Ting did not wake up his roommate. After a simple wash, he changed into Hogwarts school uniform, put on a baseball cap, and left the dormitory.
The reason why he asked Linnet to wake him up so early was because he wanted to familiarize himself with the roads in Hogwarts.
Finding the way in this ancient magic school is really a big challenge for the freshmen.
There are as many as 142 staircases in Hogwarts, like a huge maze.
To make matters worse, the stairs would occasionally move out of position, as would some of the floors.
There was a corridor that seemed to twist at some point, and when you finally reached the end, you found that the ceiling was covered with carpet, but the stone slabs under your feet were the real ceiling.
Some stairs seem to have their own life and will, leading to different places at specific times, more punctual than your period!
Sometimes when you’re halfway up a flight of stairs, a step will suddenly disappear and you have to remember where to jump over it.
One lapse in memory or a wrong jump and you’ll fall instantly.
While the magic of Hogwarts will ensure a safe landing for the young wizards, this also means you ll have to start all over again from the first floor!
This is the real-life version of “If You’re a Man, Go to the Hundredth Floor”.
In addition to these tricky staircases and floors, Hogwarts also hides many strange doors.
If you are not polite enough to ask them to open, or if you fail to find the right trick to open them, they will stubbornly remain closed and refuse your entry.
Some doors are not even real doors at all. After trying hard to open them, you will only see solid walls.
What’s worse is that when you are wondering whether there is any secret hidden behind a door, ghosts will suddenly jump out of the wall and float through your body, giving you a double shock both psychologically and physically.
Ravenclaw’s ghost, Lady Helena, always has a stern face and looks like she doesn’t want anyone to approach her. If the Bloody Baron is also present, the cold atmosphere can freeze people to death.
In such an environment, asking for directions? Forget it.
Ye Ting had tried to locate himself by remembering the characteristics, attractions and landmarks of each place.
But how easy is that? At Hogwarts, sights and landmarks change! People in portraits visit each other, and even suits of armor move freely.
Asking the portraits for directions is no use; they will usually just give you a dizzying string of instructions: “Just turn back, left, down, left again, left again, then right, left, up, left again, and right again, and you’ll be there.”
After hearing this, you may be even more lost.
After experiencing some twists and turns, Ye Ting sincerely believed that if any student still did not arrive at the auditorium an hour after breakfast started, the school should immediately organize a search and rescue operation.
Another big trouble is Peeves, who is always elusive and enjoys playing tricks on people.
If he sets his sights on you, he will pester you and tease you until you are late.
Even more annoying is that for decades, some students have used Peeves’s presence as an excuse for being late, an old-fashioned excuse that is now completely unacceptable to teachers.
All in all, the real Hogwarts is several orders of magnitude more complicated than the “Hogwarts Legacy” game that Ye Ting had played before. What’s worse is that it has neither a minimap nor a teleportation point.
Even with Lisa’s intelligence, Ye Ting was still dizzy. It was hard to imagine what kind of life the little wizards in Hogwarts lived.
Ye Ting was already thinking about how to get the live point map from the twins.
The Marauder’s Map has collection value, but more importantly, it is equivalent to the small map in the upper right corner.
All the way, Linnet followed Ye Ting, yawning all the time, waiting for him to come to the auditorium to eat.
She was tired of walking all the way.
If she wasn’t going to eat yet, she decided to just go back to the dormitory and eat cat food to avoid wasting time.
At this moment, Linnet’s ears suddenly folded backwards and turned into airplane ears.
Ye Ting noticed her strangeness and asked, “Did you find anything?”
Linnet let out a vigilant “meow”. Ye Ting followed her gaze and was surprised to find a cat hiding under a picture frame.
Chapter 27 Linnett Takes Over Hogwarts (Old Version)
This is a skinny cat, with a medium-wide head, a square-shaped mouth, a sharp chin, and a straight line with the upper lip and nose. The ears are large and furry, the eyes are like deep lakes, the tail is long and flexible, and the dark gray hair covers the whole body.
This is a Maine Coon cat.
But a normal Maine Coon cat is tall and furry, but this cat is very thin, with a gloomy temperament, and its big bulging eyes stare straight at Ye Ting, or more precisely, at Linnett.
This is Mrs. Norris, the pet of the administrator Filch.
According to seniors, Filch and Mrs. Norris are simply one of the three evils of Hogwarts!
Filch is a vicious man, and Mrs. Norris is his right-hand man, often helping him search for violations among students.
Ye Ting wanted Linnet to pay special attention to her, but Linnet slowly walked over and meowed at Mrs. Loris.
Two cats meowed at each other.
The tone sounded like they were arguing.
Then Ye Ting saw Linnet slap Mrs. Loris in the face.
Even though Mrs. Loris was a Maine Coon cat, she could not withstand the power of the Eye of God holding a cat and was knocked to the ground immediately.
Then she became timid and simply lay on the ground, exposing her belly to show her submission.
In this way, Ye Ting witnessed the whole process of Linnitt recruiting younger brothers.
No, is this how you play when I’m not around?
It was the first time that Ye Ting discovered that Linnette, who usually acted coquettishly and cutely in front of him, also had such a domineering side.
Then, Linnet meowed at her new little brother.
Mrs. Norris stood up upon hearing the sound and walked towards a corridor without saying a word.
Linnet turned around and meowed, then jumped back into Ye Ting’s arms, blinking her purple eyes, urging him to follow.
What is this for?
Although Ye Ting was completely confused, he had to follow Mrs. Loris at Linnet’s insistence.
After passing through several remote corridors, they finally arrived at their destination – the auditorium lobby on the first floor.
Ye Ting suddenly realized that Linnette brought him here for breakfast!
He was a little amused and helpless. It seemed that he had made Linnet wait impatiently, and he even had to seek help from others just to have a meal.
But since he was already here, he just went with the flow and finished his exploration work.
To express his gratitude, Ye Ting took out a small dried fish from his hat and handed it to Mrs. Norris.
Mrs. Norris did not dare to take it. Instead, she looked at Linnett tentatively until she nodded. Then she happily left with the dried fish in her mouth.
You are awesome, little cat. Others need your approval before they receive gifts.
At this time, many students were already enjoying breakfast in the auditorium, and Hermione was among them.
She arrived early and had already finished her meal. She was now concentrating on reviewing the “Beginner’s Guide to Transfiguration”.
That’s right! For other young wizards, reading a book is previewing, but for Hermione, it is reviewing.
You really work hard!
Ye Ting sat down next to Hermione with ease, picked up a croissant and took a bite, while greeting her: “Morning!”
“Morning!” Hermione replied without even looking up.
“Haven’t you memorized all the textbooks?” Ye Ting asked curiously, “Why are you working so hard so early in the morning?”
“That’s right!” Hermione raised her head and looked at Ye Ting seriously. “Today is our first Transfiguration class. I heard that the professors are very strict and will check our preparation on the spot. I think we should review the textbook again so that we can deepen our understanding and avoid making mistakes in class.”
“It’s not that exaggerated.” Ye Ting frowned slightly. “If the professors at Hogwarts were so strict, the British wizarding world would not have fallen to the state it is today.”
“By the way, who told you these words?” Ye Ting asked casually.
“My roommate Lavender Brown told me last night.” Hermione took a sip of milk and tilted her head. “What’s wrong?”
Ye Ting sighed inwardly. This little girl had only been in school for one night and she had already been isolated.
And she herself is still unaware, what a poor child!
School bullying is a sensitive and thorny issue. Bullying students in an isolated manner is a common occurrence in school bullying cases.
Even though Gryffindor always boasts of unity and friendship, Ravenclaw claims to welcome “weirdos”, and Slytherin talks about noble pure blood and high quality, in this regard, it is actually Hufflepuff that does the best.
Ye Ting guessed that Hermione probably said something she shouldn’t have said last night.
Ye Ting knew what she would say without having to guess.
“I have memorized all the textbooks. What about you?”
“I tried a lot of magic during the summer vacation, and they all worked!”
“I saw this incident in A History of Hogwarts…”
Ye Ting even thought that he could write a “Hermione Quotes” in the future to collect all her gold, and then take it out and publicly execute her when she grows up.
But now, he has no intention of exposing all this. After all, in the eyes of many children, these potential signs of bullying are often regarded as normal phenomena.
Let’s just wait for Hermione to realize it slowly.
“Okay, then keep it up!” Ye Ting continued to enjoy his breakfast.
Hermione glanced at Ye Ting and asked curiously, “Aren’t you going to preview it?”
“I’ve read it once before going to school, and that’s enough.” Ye Ting swallowed the food in his mouth and said, “I prefer practical operation. Instead of spending time reading books, I might as well try it myself.”
Hermione immediately asked after hearing this: “So what was the result of your attempt?”
“Of course it was successful!” Ye Ting smiled and snapped his fingers. The red ring on his finger glowed slightly.
The knife and fork in my hand instantly turned into a pair of chopsticks.
Hermione shut herself in.
She also tried Transfiguration during the holidays, but she found that Transfiguration was much more difficult than ordinary spells.
She had already learned several spells from the Standard Book of Spells, Elementary.
But she had tried so many times to learn Transfiguration, but she couldn’t even get started.
And Ye Ting not only completed the transformation easily, but also cast spells without a wand. The difference is really…
It seems that if I want to stand out in Hogwarts and win first place, I must work harder!
Hermione studied harder.
Seeing that Hermione ignored him, Ye Ting enjoyed himself and focused on the food.
Although today’s breakfast was not as luxurious as yesterday’s dinner, it had its own flavor, far beyond his usual stereotype of British food.
The house-elves in the Hogwarts kitchen must have learned a lot from other magic schools.
Look at the variety of delicacies on the table – the charred and fragrant German long grilled sausages, the runny fried eggs, the perfectly toasted bread slices, the sizzling bacon… In addition, there are as many as six kinds of sauces spread on the bread alone.
Ye Ting tasted them one by one, especially the grilled sausage. The meat was tender and juicy, and served with spicy black pepper. It was so fragrant and satisfying when he took a bite.
Both he and Linnet raved about it.
As the little wizards arrived at the auditorium one after another, many of them began to chat.
Not far away, a group of little girls gathered together, discussing something excitedly and pointing at him from time to time.
“Hey, look, that person is the freshman who took the longest time in the sorting ceremony last night!”
“Where is it? Show me!”
“The one sitting over there, isn’t he super handsome?”
“Oh my god, he’s so handsome! Look at the way he eats, that’s called ‘chopsticks’, it’s so elegant.”
“Stop being a bit of a nympho, okay?”
“Am I the only one who thinks the kitten next to him is super cute too?”
Ye Ting knew very well that these whispers were directed at him.
After all, who else is more suitable for the title of “the most handsome freshman” except him?
But this also made him more cautious.
Boys should also pay attention to protecting themselves when they are outside.
Who knows if there’s some infatuated little witch who secretly gave him a love potion?
About half an hour later, Ye Ting’s three roommates finally entered the auditorium.
Anthony Goldstein, Michael Corner, Terry Boot, and himself are the only four boys in Ravenclaw this year.
They had originally planned to sit with Ye Ting, but when they saw Ye Ting and Hermione sitting side by side, the three of them showed ambiguous smiles on their faces at the same time.
Ye Ting waved to them from a distance and had no intention of going over.
How can a stinky man be as interesting as a little loli?
Ten minutes later, Hermione gently closed the History of Magic in her hand, looked up at Ye Ting and said, “There are still ten minutes before class starts, are you still going to stay here and be in a daze?”
Chapter 28 Linnet: Another cat that can turn into a human (old version)
Ye Ting s first class at Hogwarts was History of Magic, and Ravenclaw happened to take it together with Gryffindor.
Everyone was startled when Professor Binns’ pearly white figure penetrated the blackboard and floated into the classroom.
Professor Binns is a ghost.
Professor Binns looked very, very old, even older than Dumbledore.
There are many versions circulating on campus about why Professor Binns, a ghost, could become a professor.
The official version is that one morning, Professor Binns accidentally left his body in an armchair in the staff room on his way to the classroom, while his soul went to class as usual.
Since then, his life seemed to be frozen at that moment, repeating the same lecture content day after day, as if time had stopped in front of him.
However, Professor Binns knew nothing about this. He still stayed in his teaching position and continued to shine.
As the only ghost professor at Hogwarts, Professor Binns’ professionalism is truly admirable.
He never cared about the remuneration, was indifferent to fame and fortune, and stayed on the podium 365 days a year.
To be honest, you won t find another professor like him even if you search the entire wizarding world.
When they were students, all the young wizards, regardless of whether they were rich or poor, high or low, pure-blood or half-blood, hated Professor Binns’ History of Magic and wanted to change teachers as soon as possible.
But things were different when they grew up. Some of them became school directors and immediately fell in love with this old ghost.
Maybe this is the growth of life!
When you are ignorant, you slander Bins; when you are mature, you admire Bins; when you get paid, you want everyone to become Bins!
But a good employee in the eyes of school directors is not a good teacher in the eyes of students.
Professor Binns’ class was like a pool of stagnant water without ripples, so dull that it made people sleepy.
It is no exaggeration to say that even the masters of ceremonies at funerals are more emotional than him; the Dementors in Azkaban are more energetic than him when they suck away the souls of the prisoners.
“From the first germs of life under water… to the giant beasts of the Stone Age… to the first human upright steps…”
Professor Binns narrated the history of magic in his low and monotonous voice, like chanting a scripture.
To the Ravenclaws and Gryffindors, the sound was like the hum of an old vacuum cleaner, a highly soporific effect, and the class drifted off into sleep, occasionally waking up to write down a name or date before quickly falling back into a half-asleep state.
Just three minutes into the class, Neville, who was determined to study hard, was defeated by sleepiness and fell asleep on his desk.
Without the company of his beloved Leif, his sleep quality was greatly reduced.
Harry’s performance was different. He nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice. If you didn’t know, you would think he was really engrossed in what the professor was saying and that he agreed with the professor deeply.
Padma Patil tried to grab her braids to cheer herself up, but her heavy eyelids betrayed her failure and she staggered onto the table.
As for Ye Ting, he wished he could draw Walnut’s Divine Eye, rescue Professor Bins immediately, and send him to the afterlife.
I don’t know what the reward for collecting ghosts is.
Half an hour and minutes into the class, the students from Ravenclaw and Gryffindor were almost all asleep;
Hermione was probably the only sober student, but in order to force herself to stay alert, she moved her chair away and stood up to listen to the class and take notes.
Finally, the bell rang for the end of get out of class, and Ye Ting felt an unprecedented sense of relief.
The second class of the day was Professor McGonagall’s Transfiguration class, with Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff taking it together.
Hermione’s Transfiguration class was in the next period, so the two of them soon separated.
When Ye Ting slowly came to the classroom, he found that there were quite a few little Ravenclaw wizards here.
As expected of the school’s test-taker, some students have even taken out their textbooks and started previewing.
In comparison, the little wizards of Hufflepuff are much more Buddhist.
Of course, there are exceptions.
Ye Ting looked towards the first row, where the gifted girl with glasses, Susan Bones, was sitting and reading a book.
But there were no students around her.
The reason was simple. A cat was squatting on the table next to her. It was an extremely beautiful black and white tabby cat with gorgeous fur and elegant body. But the most attractive thing was not the glasses-like pattern around its eyes, but the unique temperament it exuded.
Those cold eyes seemed to hide a person’s soul.
A cat like this appears in the Transfiguration classroom. Is there any need to guess who it is?
Just as Ye Ting was about to find a place to sit down, Linnet, who had been following him, moved faster than him. She jumped out and jumped straight in front of the tabby cat, meowing provocatively.
At first, Linnett didn’t see Professor McGonagall turn into a cat, so she thought it was just another pet in the castle.
Since they are both pets, they have to compete to see who is the boss.
However, the tabby cat just glanced at it indifferently and ignored it.
This really pissed Linnet off.
She claims to be the overlord of the Hogwarts pet world, and now has four younger brothers under her command. How dare anyone ignore her?
How can this be tolerated?
If you can tolerate even this, how are you going to survive in the underworld and become the boss?
She immediately prepared to give the other party a cat punch.
Then he was picked up by Ye Ting.
“Oh my cat ancestor, why did you have to pick on her when you could pick on anyone else? Aren’t you afraid that she will make things difficult for your master in class?”
Seeing Linnette struggling constantly with an attitude of “Let me fight it, let me fight it”, Ye Ting hurriedly found a seat behind Susan and sat down, fearing that she would cause any more trouble.
However, the brief scene just now attracted other little wizards.
“What a proud cat.”
Padma’s eyes were shining with excitement. She had no resistance to the “intimate interaction” between the two cats and even took out snacks to try to lure the tabby cat.
Class was about to begin, but Professor McGonagall had not yet appeared in the classroom.
Padma was teasing the cat while whispering to Lisa Dupin: “I didn’t expect that Professor McGonagall, who looks so serious, would be late.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the tabby cat suddenly trembled and then turned into a witch in an emerald green robe.
“You needn’t worry about that, Miss Patil,” she said seriously.
Padma and her friends were stunned.
The other students also looked at him in shock, with the same thought in their minds: “Is this the legendary Transfiguration…”
Even Linette in Ye Ting’s arms showed a shocked expression.
She looked at Mag, then at Ye Ting.
She actually found another creature of the same kind as her master, who could transform into a biped.
Chapter 29 Ye Ting’s Transfiguration (Old Version)
Professor McGonagall looked around with a stern look, then walked to the podium, put her hands behind her back, and announced in a very serious voice:
“Transfiguration is the most complex and dangerous magic you will learn at Hogwarts. You should be thankful that it is no longer permitted to be used as a punishment. But -“
She glanced at Padma Patil deliberately and said something more serious.
” Anyone who makes trouble in my class will be asked to leave and will never be allowed to step into this classroom again. I have already warned you, so please respect yourself.”
Everyone straightened their backs unconsciously, not daring to even breathe.
“Okay, students, let’s start the class.”
Professor McGonagall made a powerful start by waving her wand and the podium turned into a pink pig, then returned to its original shape amid the exclamations of the little wizards.
This move immediately ignited the interest of the young wizards, however, what awaited them next was a lot of boring theoretical knowledge.
“So, can anyone tell me what three conditions are necessary to successfully transform an object?”
In the classroom, the young wizards were eager to try and raised their hands one after another. The Ravenclaw students were particularly active.
The situation on Hufflepuff’s side was much worse, with almost no students raising their hands.
“Ye Ting, you answer!” Professor McGonagall called him.
Ye Ting s cat just now really impressed her.
“They are IAM!” Ye Ting replied, “That is, imagination, abracadabra, and motion!”
“Exactly, two points for Ravenclaw.”
Professor McGonagall nodded with satisfaction and continued:
“In Transfiguration, imagination is crucial. We must have a clear mental image of the transformed form.”
When a beginner recites the spell, he must be clear and accurate. Any mistake or pause may cause the transformation to fail.
She paused and emphasized, “At the same time, accurate gestures are essential. Do not swing or turn the wand unnecessarily, otherwise the transformation will fail.”
The students took out their quills and quickly took down the professor’s explanation.
The whole classroom was filled with the rustling sound of writing.
Finally finishing the theoretical knowledge, Professor McGonagall picked up a match and gently pointed her wand, and the match instantly turned into a thin needle in her hand.
The little wizards were amazed and applauded loudly.
“Now, it’s time for you to show your talents.”
Professor McGonagall began to distribute matches to the young wizards. “Your task is to turn this match into a needle before the end of get out of class. Whoever succeeds will win five points for his or her school!”
In the classroom, the little wizards started the matchstick transformation challenge with great excitement.
When they saw Professor McGonagall’s easy demonstration, they were all eager to try it out, thinking it would be easy to do. However, when they actually started to do it, they found that it was quite difficult.
The Hufflepuff wizards were in a mess, either forgetting the spells or not being able to remember how to wave their wands.
Even if both of them were remembered, the match would not move at all, and even the color would not change.
Yesterday, the little badger who claimed that he had missed out on going to Eton College started to become anxious after failing several times in his attempts. He even wanted to break his wand. Of course… he wanted to break other people’s wands!
“Ernie, lend me your wand.”
“No, the wand is like my girlfriend, how can I lend it to anyone?” Ernie, who was sitting in the last row, refused without even looking up. “Justin, are you willing to lend your girlfriend to someone else to play with?”
“Of course I’d love to,” Justin replied casually.
Ernie didn’t expect Justin to say such a thing.
He rolled his eyes. “Then I still refuse, because you don’t have a girlfriend. But I do have a real wand! Besides, I still have to continue to turn matches.”
“Then you have changed!” Justin was a little speechless, “I saw you sitting there in a daze for almost five minutes. This time is enough for me to fail seven times.”
“I’m just trying to get a feel for it…” Ernie scratched his head awkwardly.
Susan was much more patient than Justin, she challenged forty-two times and failed every time. But she was not discouraged, she swung her wand again and landed on the match, but the match caught fire and almost burned his wand.
However, the Ravenclaw eagles did not do much better than the badgers in this regard.
Many people misunderstand that being sorted into Ravenclaw means having a superior IQ.
But in fact, many students meet the characteristics of multiple colleges when they are divided into colleges.
Except for a few gifted wizards – such as Ye Ting – most people are ordinary people, and the difference in IQ is not obvious.
Those studious Ravenclaw students only reviewed the theoretical knowledge in advance, but their performance in actual operations was not outstanding.
Padma held the magic wand and pointed it at the match, her eyes wide open, but the match seemed to be integrated with the table, not moving at all.
Terry Boot poked at the match so hard that it broke.
He did not dare to ask for another match and glanced at Professor McGonagall guiltily. Seeing that she did not notice, he pretended nothing had happened and continued to fiddle with the half match.
Michael Corner thought he was smart and had found out Professor McGonagall’s teaching habits in advance, so he secretly brought a needle to make up for it and successfully disguised his transformation.
However, his cleverness did not escape the eyes of Professor McGonagall. He was exposed on the spot, and was awkwardly pulled to the corner to stand in punishment. Five points were deducted from the school.
After many failed attempts, Susan felt a little frustrated and decided to try a different approach.
She turned around and saw Ye Ting leisurely playing with the cat. She couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Why don’t you do anything?”
“We have to leave it to others.” Ye Ting shrugged, “It would be bad if it scared others.”
“Hehe, come on, don’t be shy.” Susan said with a smile, looking at Ye Ting with anticipation.
Ye Ting felt that this girl treated him as one of her own kind and thought he was just trying to hold on.
“Well… well, now that you put it that way…”
Professor McGonagall’s eyes seemed to be attracted by Susan’s words and turned over here.
Ye Ting picked up the wand helplessly and pointed it at the matches on the table.
“Oh, I’m so stupid…really.”
Susan looked at Ye Ting, feeling melancholy in her heart. The words of comfort were like phlegm stuck in her throat, and she couldn’t utter them at all.
In front of her, a bunch of cold steel needles lay quietly on the table. The needles were extremely sharp, and the tails were carved with exquisite patterns.
“Excellent Transfiguration!” Professor McGonagall walked over quickly, and her eyes hidden behind her glasses revealed a look of satisfaction as she observed the details of the steel needle.
She was well aware that the more complex the object constructed by Transfiguration, the more difficult it would be to transform.
“Mr. Ye Ting, your talent for Transfiguration is truly amazing.” Professor McGonagall adjusted her glasses and asked curiously, “Is this your first attempt at Transfiguration?”
“Actually, I have tried it several times at home, Professor McGonagall.” Ye Ting said lightly, “But after listening to your explanation, I think I can add some of my own ideas to the original basis.”
“Very good try,” Professor McGonagall said with a satisfied smile, “Five points from Ravenclaw for your excellent Transfiguration.”
“Thank you very much, Professor.”
Chapter 30 Susan’s Academic Guidance (Old Version)
“Can you tell me how long it took you to complete your first transformation?” Professor McGonagall asked curiously.
“About a day or so.”
In order not to scare the professor, Ye Ting did not say that he succeeded the first time. “I tried many spells at that time, so the specific time was not recorded.”
“Well, do you mind demonstrating your Transfiguration skills once more for everyone?”
“Of course, no problem.” Ye Ting nodded with a smile. This was exactly what he wanted.
If you want to be a good student and win the favor of the professor, you must demonstrate your value.
In this way, the professors will turn a blind eye to some of his “out-of-line” behavior.
However, if I turn into a steel needle…
“Can I try to change into something else?”
Changing the needle is too simple. What he wants is to establish his own prestige in one step!
“Of course, but please do it within your ability, Mr. Ye.” Professor McGonagall advised.
“clear.”
Ye Ting stood up, waved his wand lightly, and pointed it at the podium that Professor McGonagall had used.
In an instant, the wooden podium changed rapidly and turned into an office computer chair with wheels, armrests and backrest.
“What is that?”
“Is that a chair?”
“I’ve never seen one before. It looks like it has wheels underneath?”
“A movable chair? How interesting?”
Computer chairs are a product unique to Muggles. Most of the young wizards have never seen them before, and they were all amazed by them.
“Excellent transformation.” Professor McGonagall smiled with satisfaction.
This young man’s talent in Transfiguration surpassed even Cedric’s.
After all, Cedric hadn’t been able to perform such a large-scale Transfiguration in his first year.
As expected, he is a genius who has mastered magic on his own without even having a wand.
But what’s strange is that Gryffindor House is famous for Transfiguration, and both she and Dumbledore are from here, but why did the geniuses of Transfiguration go to other houses?
However, Gryffindor is obviously the best house at Transfiguration, so why are all the Transfiguration geniuses in other houses?
Whether it’s Cedric or Ye Ting, they are all like this!
How come I wasn t sorted into Gryffindor by that old guy, the Sorting Hat?
pity!
Professor McGonagall, who was overjoyed at the sight of the prey, was very dissatisfied, and the fairness of the Sorting Hat was also questioned.
She even felt that the Hogwarts sorting system needed to be reformed. Based on the judgment of the Sorting Hat, a more complete judgment process should be established to prevent similar mistakes from happening again.
The educational reform of Hogwarts is imminent.
Professor McGonagall gave Ye Ting another five points, and then went to patrol with a bored look.
Then, Susan came up curiously and looked at Ye Ting with admiration and curiosity in her eyes.
“How on earth did you do it?” she couldn’t help but ask.
“What?”
“Of course it’s Transfiguration!” The girl with glasses said a little frustrated, “Why don’t my matches react at all?”
The beautiful girl’s glaring attack was somewhat useful to Ye Ting, but it was useless to a match.
Facing Susan’s helplessness, Ye Ting chuckled, “Don’t be discouraged, maybe you are not concentrating enough, or there are some small problems in the operation. Come, show me how you do it.”
Upon hearing this, Susan immediately followed suit.
“No, that’s not right. There’s something wrong with your movements.”
“You don’t need to twirl the wand here, just keep the tip of the wand firmly pointed at the match.”
“The curse word ends with a ‘-z’ sound, not an ‘-s’. Make sure you pronounce it clearly and don’t slur it.”
“Okay, that’s it, Susan! I said you can do it!”
After Ye Ting corrected the details, Susan mustered up her courage again.
This time, she kept her wand pointed steadily at the match and concentrated on reciting the spell.
Sure enough, the match changed. The wooden handle instantly turned into a metallic texture, and the other end shrank rapidly, becoming thinner.
Although it didn’t completely transform into a needle, it had completed 90% of the transformation.
Compared to other little wizards who have achieved nothing, this is already a rare achievement.
This scene immediately caught Professor McGonagall’s attention.
She came over and looked at Susan’s work with satisfaction, “Susan Bones, you are the second one to complete the task, two points for Hufflepuff!”
A blush appeared on Susan’s oval face, and her eyes were a little wet with excitement.
This was the first time she received praise from a professor in class.
Professor McGonagall turned to Ye Ting again.
“Ye Ting, you are so enthusiastic about helping your classmates complete the Transfiguration. I will give Ravenclaw an extra point.” She encouraged, “Keep up this team spirit and keep up the good work.”
After Professor McGonagall left, Ye Ting discovered that Susan’s eyes were slightly moist and sparkling.
“No one has ever recognized me like this…”
She choked up and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes beside Ye Ting.
“Mom always thinks I’m too ordinary, and Aunt Amelia also says I’m destined to be just an ordinary wizard… This is the first time I’ve been recognized for my magic, and it’s all because of you, Ye Ting…”
Looking at the little tearful girl in front of him, Ye Ting felt a surge of tenderness in his heart, and gently rubbed her hair.
“In fact, you are not without talent. On the contrary, Susan, you are very good. This Transfiguration is the best proof of it.”
“You didn’t perform well in the past only because you lacked confidence. Remember, one of the keys to using magic is firm ‘belief’.”
Ye Ting began to share his summary of the magic rules of this world, “Only when you firmly believe that you can cast magic and believe that you can do it, can the magic be successfully released.”
The character of Susan Bones in the original book is not very impressive.
From the first year to the fifth year, her academic and practical performance were mediocre. In the fifth year, she was even bullied by the Malfoy trio at school.
But since joining the DA, she quickly became different.
In just one semester, she completed the transformation from victim to rebel.
Later, he participated in the final decisive battle and survived the battle.
Not only that, but she also has powerful magical powers running in her blood her aunt Amelia Bones is a powerful wizard.
In the original book, Voldemort even went to assassinate her in person. Facing the Dark Lord, Amelia Bones held out for several rounds before unfortunately dying.
Judging from these experiences, Susan is at least not a problem in terms of talent.
Ye Ting realized that what Susan lacked was not magical talent, but confidence in her own abilities.
Confidence often comes from the approval and encouragement of others.
From her words, Ye Ting could tell that the Bones family had very high expectations for Susan when she was a child, and were very disappointed with Susan for not meeting their expectations.
It is understandable that this kind of thing would happen.
During the First Wizarding War, many members of the Bones family died at the hands of Voldemort and the Death Eaters.
The decline of the family has placed heavier expectations and responsibilities on the shoulders of the new generation.
The same thing happened to Neville.
As children, they failed to show amazing talents and thus failed to win the recognition of their elders.
The suppression from their elders gradually made them lack confidence, and the use of magic requires confidence the most.
The less confident they are, the more unfamiliar they become with the use of magic, and the less encouragement they receive, thus falling into a vicious cycle.
The only way to break this cycle is to start with encouragement and recognition.
Susan certainly didn’t understand this. She said to the boy with emotion, “No, Ye Ting, I was able to master Transfiguration so quickly because of your help. Without you, I would not be able to do anything.”
“So…” At this point, her cheeks flushed slightly, “Can I still ask you for advice on magic in the future?”
“Of course.” Ye Ting agreed without hesitation.
Ye Ting is not opposed to having such a little fan girl.
Although Susan is still young and weak in character, she is old enough.
After getting Ye Ting’s approval, Susan burst into laughter. Her red little face was like a ripe apple, so cute that people couldn’t help but take a bite.
At this moment, Anthony Goldstein on the side finally couldn’t hold back anymore.
“Susan, how long are you going to monopolize Ye Ting?” he shouted anxiously, “It’s almost my turn! I must make this damn matchstick change before the get out of class is over!”
Chapter 31: There are too many scammers, and there are not enough letters of complaint (old version)
Under Ye Ting’s guidance, his three roommates finally succeeded in having some effect on the matchsticks before the get out of class ended.
Anthony reluctantly changed the shape of the match;
Terry Boot succeeded in turning part of a match into iron;
As for Michael Corner, he made the fuse of the match disappear, and then there was no way to make it change.
However, they were quite satisfied with the result.
Some change is better than no change.
In fact, by the end of the course, most of the little wizards had not been able to make the matches undergo any transformation.
Professor McGonagall was not disappointed by this. She never expected the little wizard to learn everything in just one lesson.
After assigning a six-foot-long paper on the theory of Transfiguration as homework, she dismissed the get out of class.
After leaving the Transfiguration classroom, Ye Ting couldn’t wait to go to the library.
The Hogwarts library is located on the second floor of the castle. The collection of magic books here is the richest in Europe and can be called a treasure of the magic world. From lighthearted leisure readings to unfathomable forbidden magic, it can be said to have everything.
The first time he came to the library, Ye Ting was deeply shocked by the vast sea of ??books before him.
There are hundreds of bookshelves and nearly a hundred narrow passages in the library, and each shelf has thousands of magic books. It is ten times more spectacular than the Ravenclaw common room.
Here you can find all the magic you want to learn.
For Ye Ting, who possesses the wisdom of the Rose Witch, this place is almost a paradise.
He even felt that, apart from the potential collections, this library was the most valuable place in Hogwarts.
The little wizard who did not come to the library was destined to spend seven years of relative failure.
The moment he stepped into the library, an atmosphere of solemnity and tranquility hit him in the face, causing Ye Ting to unconsciously lighten his steps and lower his voice, for fear of breaking the tranquility.
It wasn’t because there was a librarian watching him.
The librarian, Mrs. Pince, was thin and had a slightly bad temper. She held a feather duster in her hand and had a serious expression, like a vulture ready to pounce at any time, guarding this pure land of knowledge.
After observation, Ye Ting discovered that the feather duster in the other party’s hand was not just an ordinary cleaning tool, but was actually attached with multiple magic spells.
It has a variety of spells attached to it, which can easily brush away dust and remove graffiti on books. It can also have a deterrent effect on those restless magic books.
Ye Ting saw with his own eyes that Madam Pince just waved a feather duster casually, and a “Monster Book of Monsters” that wanted to cause trouble immediately stopped and lay obediently on the ground, allowing Madam Pince to tie it up with ropes and put it into various positions.
Hogwarts, this castle with a thousand-year-old heritage, is indeed worthy of its reputation, with treasures everywhere.
Even the most inconspicuous objects may contain amazing magical powers. The key is whether you have a pair of eyes that can discover these beauties.
Ye Ting’s Hogwarts Collection List +1
Very good, this will be my home ground from now on.
Ye Ting lingered here for more than two hours, getting a general understanding of what books were available here. Finally, he chose an “Introduction to Spell Analysis” and walked towards the study area.
There were tables neatly arranged there, and many people were sitting there studying hard.
Looking around, most of them were Ravenclaw eagles.
After all, Ravenclaw is a house named after “wisdom”, and excellent grades can best demonstrate their talents.
Although this standard of measuring intelligence may be a bit one-sided, it is undeniable that the students of Eagle College have formed a trend of involution, and the library has become their second classroom.
In sharp contrast are the Hufflepuff badgers.
They prefer to stay away from the busy and stressful library, and choose a lazily lifestyle in the cozy common room, savour the aroma of afternoon tea, enjoy snacks made by the house-elves.
Gryffindor students rarely set foot in the library. They were busy adventuring around the castle, and many of them had already set their sights on the abandoned corridor on the fourth floor.
As for the Slytherin students, they would rather weave their own network of contacts than study. After all, for many of them, if they fail in their studies, they can only return home to inherit the manor and family business.
When the time comes, won’t you test-takers have to work for them obediently?
Ye Ting quickly found Hermione and Susan in the corner.
Perhaps because they had communicated with each other at the beginning of the school year, the two of them were familiar with each other. Now they were studying at the same table.
Hermione’s brows were furrowed, clearly pondering some complex problem;
Susan bit the quill pen and wrote with great concentration, looking very diligent.
Ye Ting was very surprised that Susan was here.
From his first impression of Susan, this girl was not a top student who was passionate about academics, nor was she a particularly strong-willed girl.
Why was she hanging out in the library on the first day of school?
Driven by curiosity, Ye Ting decided to go forward and take a look.
Susan was doing her Transfiguration homework. As soon as he approached, the little girl hurriedly covered her parchment with a red face. “Don’t, don’t look at this…”
But Ye Ting had such a good memory that he only took a quick glance and remembered the scene before the homework was blocked.
Well, Ye Ting finally understood why Susan did this.
The article she wrote was more like flattery to Ye Ting than a paper.
The whole article is full of “Ye Ting guided me to complete this spell”, “Ye Ting told me how to proceed”, “Ye Ting’s analysis made me suddenly enlightened” … and a lot of disgusting flattery of Ye Ting.
No wonder Susan was so shy and didn’t dare to show herself to herself.
Ye Ting had no intention of making things difficult for his little fangirl, so he turned his gaze to Hermione.
Unexpectedly, Hermione’s reaction was exactly the same as Susan’s. She also covered her homework in panic.
“Go away, Ye Ting, you are not allowed to look!” Hermione’s attitude was much tougher than Susan’s.
Hey, this little girl is pretty fierce!
Ye Ting will deal a heavy blow to these diehard elements.
He recalled the fragment he had just seen hastily and recited it in a low voice:
“Dear Professor Dumbledore, hello… I am an ordinary freshman of Gryffindor College… I have some things I want to report to you…”
Hermione panicked and threw herself on the table, pressing her chin tightly against the parchment, and shouted anxiously, “Stop reading… You are not allowed to read!”
Ye Ting sat on the chair, a hint of teasing flashed across his face: “Hermione, are you writing a letter to the headmaster to complain about Professor Binns?”
As soon as these words came out, even Susan next to them couldn’t help but come over.
Hermione’s eyes flashed, her cheeks flushed, and she snorted:
“What’s wrong? Is it not possible? I am also thinking about everyone’s studies! Can we learn anything substantial in a History of Magic class like that?”
“If you have to write a letter for all this, then you’ll probably have to write a lot of letters.” Ye Ting pointed out with a smile.
“Why? Hermione raised her head and looked at him in confusion, frowning slightly, “You mean, Professor Dumbledore will not pay attention to one or two letters of complaint?”
“No, I mean…” Ye Ting sighed, “You will have many professors to complain about in the future. At least half of the teaching staff at Hogwarts are unqualified. Can’t you stand Professor Binns?”
Looking at the two little witches looking at each other with expressions of disbelief, Ye Ting just shook his head and said nothing more.
Professor Quirrell is a villain, needless to say.
Madam Hooch, who teaches flying, can’t even use a levitation spell properly. If something happens to a little wizard, she can do nothing but send him to the school infirmary.
Professor Trelawney of Divination is a liar most of the time. She is only accurate once or twice when her talent is stimulated occasionally.
Hagrid, the future professor of the Protection of Magical Creatures class, always likes to teach about dangerous animals, which seriously threaten the safety of young wizards…
Naive girls will understand later.
Chapter 32: The Promised Land Typewriter and Dating Tips (Old Version)
Ye Ting took out the parchment and began to complete his homework attentively.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that the homework at Hogwarts sounds impressive and requires you to write papers several feet long.
But what is the reality?
The professors’ requirements for these papers are not very strict. To put it bluntly, they just ask students to write something like a book review.
Come to think of it, we can’t really let a group of little wizards who are only eleven years old write some profound papers!
Their basic education level is not as good as that of Muggle children of the same age!
This kind of trivial task was a piece of cake for Ye Ting, who had actually written a graduation thesis.
He finished an article in no time.
It s a pity that there is no Chat-GPT in this era, otherwise he could save even this little effort.
After finishing his homework, Ye Ting took out a rare book borrowed from the library, took out an automatic feather pen and began to copy.
Originally, Ye Ting had also considered using [Copy in Pairs] on the books in the library, so that he could obtain copies in batches quickly, efficiently and economically.
But this idea was quickly overturned.
How could those who make books not think of this simple copying method? Therefore, most books are cast with the [Anti-Copying Spell] during the binding process to avoid this kind of thing.
Therefore, if Ye Ting wanted the book, his only choice was to copy it.
But as he copied, Ye Ting became impatient.
The principle of the automatic feather pen is to automatically record text according to the user’s thoughts.
In other words, Ye Ting wanted to copy the book, which was equivalent to reading the book silently in his mind.
But with Ye Ting’s talent, reciting the book silently is basically the same as memorizing it, so why would he need to copy it out again?
What’s more, this efficiency is too low.
Even if Ye Ting could read ten lines at a glance and read very fast, he could only copy one or two books in one night at best.
The number of books in the library is counted in the thousands.
With this efficiency, Ye Ting wants to read through the entire library, which will take him forever.
These automatic feather pens are almost worthless.
Afterwards, Ye Ting planned to simply throw away these quills.
But on second thought, why not make use of the waste?
It just so happened that Ye Ting recently had new ideas about the system.
So, after leaving the library, Ye Ting piled up a dozen automatic feather pens together, and after thinking about it, he also piled up all the ink and ordinary feather pens he had bought.
Since we are going to recycle waste, we might as well give it a try and take a big chance.
Will batch collection produce different effects?
Ye Ting stretched out his hands.
With a flash of light, the pile of quills and ink in front of him disappeared.
The rewards of the system will follow.
It was a black, antique-looking typewriter with a pair of pink wings floating next to it.
” This is the Paradise Magic Typewriter!”
Ye Ting recognized it at a glance. This was a prop from a paradise in the afterlife in a certain BengBengBeng.
In the game, the magic typewriter is actually the embodiment of the log system of the paradise of the past, which will automatically record everything that happens in the paradise of the past.
In reality, its function is to record everything that happens in a designated space.
This ability doesn’t seem to be as omniscient and omnipotent as in the game.
But Ye Ting noticed another way of using it.
“What if… I use it to record the contents of the books in the library? After all, the contents of the books are also part of the space of the ‘library’.”
Unfortunately, the library was now closed, so he had to go back to the dorm to try again.
When I returned to the dormitory, my three roommates were already fast asleep.
Ye Ting ignored them, turned on the typewriter, and made his request.
“Typewriter, help me record the contents of all the books in this dormitory.”
“Got it, lovely human,” the typewriter made a voice of a pink fairy, “I’ll record it for you right away.”
Next, Ye Ting watched helplessly as the contents of the first-year Transfiguration textbook appeared line by line on the typewriter paper. The printing speed was so fast that it was even comparable to a Muggle photocopy.
It’s just the crackling noise that’s a bit annoying.
Ye Ting heard Michael turn over and was almost woken up.
“Dizzy…sleep peacefully!”
Ye Ting reacted so quickly that he immediately cast a [Hypnosis Spell] to put Michael back to sleep.
Then he gave Anthony and Terry a hypnosis each.
Then he realized the problem.
“…In this case, I should have silenced the typewriter.”
He slapped his thigh.
Was it because he was too hasty, or because his reflexes were too fast and his body made the choice before his brain.
This shows the status of the three roommates in his subconscious mind.
“I’m sorry, everyone, just get some more sleep.”
Ye Ting touched his nose, then used [Silent] on the typewriter.
The crisp typing sound disappeared immediately.
Less than five minutes later, Ye Ting picked up the typewriter and found that he had printed out a whole book of “Beginner’s Guide to Transfiguration” and was now starting to print “Standard Spells”.
“That’s enough.”
Ye Ting stopped typing. The experiment was over, and he had understood what he needed to understand. Typing further would only be a waste of paper and ink.
“One book in five minutes, twelve books in an hour. If I stay in the library for a whole night, I can type at least forty books…”
Ye Ting calculated, “If I hide the typewriter and put it in the library, letting it type automatically, it is not impossible for it to type all day long.”
“Even if I don’t take such extreme measures, it’s not impossible to copy all the books in the library within seven years with the time I have every night.”
Thinking of this, Ye Ting was finally satisfied and could sleep peacefully.
The next morning, as soon as Ye Ting arrived at the auditorium, he saw his roommate Michael Connor waving at him mysteriously: “Hey! Come this way.”
Ye Ting walked over and saw his three roommates huddled together, all of them looking sleepy. He asked knowingly, “What’s wrong? Why haven’t you woken up yet?”
I don t know Michael yawned, I slept too deeply last night. I almost couldn t get up this morning. I m still a little sleepy now.
Anthony also sighed: “I don’t know why, I feel like I’ve never slept so well.”
Then you have to thank me very much.
Ye Ting smiled secretly in his heart.
“Okay, okay, let’s get down to business!” Terry Butt reminded.
“Yes, business!” Anthony slapped his thigh, revealing a gossipy expression: “Ye Ting, tell me the truth, did you go on a date last night?”
“And Miss Granger of Gryffindor,” Michael interjected.
“We didn’t see you return to the dormitory until we fell asleep,” Terry Boot added.
Ye Ting was confused. What on earth were these little wizards thinking about?
He was only eleven years old, and his hair hadn’t even started to grow.
Some girls at this age haven’t even developed yet, how can they fall in love?
But then again, think about those elementary school students who fell in love prematurely in the previous life. At the age of eleven, they were at least quite mature in their thinking.
Although it may be a little early from a legal and physiological perspective, it is not completely impossible.
“Yeah, what’s wrong?” Ye Ting spread his hands and admitted it frankly.
Given the choice between “spending a night in the library” and “going on a date”, he decisively chose the latter.
After all, this will make Ye Ting look more prestigious.
Terry Booth was full of admiration, “That’s amazing! The school has just started!”
Anthony also came up eagerly, “Ye Ting, you have to teach us a few moves!”
“Actually, it’s not that difficult to date a girl.” Ye Ting smiled slightly, looking confident. “The key is to master the skills and know how to please her. Only then can it be done easily.”
“Then can you demonstrate it to us live?” Michael suggested.
“This kind of thing…”
Ye Ting looked disdainful, then turned to look at Susan who was talking to Hannah at the Hufflepuff table next door: “Susan, do you want to go to the library together tonight? Hermione and I will go!”
“Okay!” Susan turned her head with a bright smile on her face.
Ye Ting raised his eyebrows at his three roommates, “Do you understand? This is the technique.”
The three shook their heads.
They were all stunned. It was obvious that Ye Ting had made an appointment with Hermione yesterday, so why did he change someone else today… and it was one for two.
“You have to be proactive and courageous in this kind of thing.”
Ye Ting said with the tone of an experienced person, “For things like this between men and women, someone has to speak first. As long as you bravely take the first step, you may get unexpected surprises.”
Terry looked embarrassed, “But what if I get rejected?”
Michael and Anthony nodded in agreement. It was embarrassing just to think about it.
“Rejected?”
Ye Ting looked at the three people as if they were maggots, “That’s because you’re not handsome enough. Anyway, I’ve never been rejected!”
Upon hearing this, the three of them made contemptuous gestures towards Ye Ting.
This morning, the little wizards from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff were all very excited because they were about to have the long-awaited Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
When Ye Ting stepped into the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, he almost suspected that he had walked into the wrong place.
It’s more like a haunted house than a classroom.
The windows were blocked by thick curtains, and the dim firelight flickered on the walls, as if a ghost or a monster would jump out from the darkness at any time.
What s even more unbearable is that as soon as you step into the room, a pungent smell of garlic hits you in the face.
Due to the lack of sunlight for a long time, the humidity here seems to corrode people’s bones. The humid air makes the strange smell even stronger, which is suffocating.
Susan was already sitting in the classroom before them.
She is different now than before.
It seemed that because of Ye Ting’s encouragement, Susan changed her original personality, became positive, and no longer acted badly with the other little badgers.
Now, she arrives early for every class and actively sits in the first row. Since Ravenclaw often attends classes with Hufflepuff, she never forgets to save a seat for Ye Ting.
Seeing Susan waving, Ye Ting and his roommates walked over and sat down next to her.
As soon as Michael sat down, he covered his nose and complained, “What the hell is this place? Why don’t you open the window to get some fresh air? It’s so stinking!”
Susan turned her head to look at the windows and explained helplessly: “These windows are nailed shut with wooden boards, and the curtains are sewn tightly, so they can’t be opened at all.”
Ye Ting, however, sat calmly in his seat as if nothing had happened. He took out a book called “Introduction to Spell Analysis” from his schoolbag and began to read it with great interest.
He knew Quirrell’s background well, and he would not learn anything useful in this year’s Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
In other words, if anyone can learn anything real from this course in the next seven years, that would be a miracle!
So, he would rather spend his time on things that interest him.
But the other little wizards were not as calm as him.
Justin from Hufflepuff was impatient. In a fit of rage, he picked up a stool and was about to smash the wooden board on the window.
“Don’t…don’t do it! Don’t open the window!”
Professor Quirrell rushed into the classroom in a hurry and stopped Justin who was about to have an attack in time.
With his appearance, the smell of garlic in the classroom became stronger and stronger, as if hundreds of people who had eaten garlic were breathing out at the same time, making it unbearable.
“Professor, what are you talking about?” Megan Jones asked loudly, “Can you speak English?”
Professor Quirrell blushed, and tried to pronounce more clearly: “…I…I speak…English, pure…pure…Cockney accent…”
Unfortunately, his speech was still halting, with a thick accent and the smell of curry, making people mistakenly think that he had just come from India.
Seeing that Justin still refused to give up, he waved his arms and gestured anxiously: “I…I…I was…hurt by a vampire. Now I can’t…see the wind, and I can’t see…the light…”
Hearing this, Justin was so scared that he dropped his stool and hid in the last row, fearing that Quirrell would suddenly turn into a vampire and pounce on him.
Professor Quirrell saw this and hurriedly waved his hands to explain: “…No…It’s okay, don’t panic. I…I have done…special treatment on the wound, I won’t…turn into a vampire, don’t worry. That female vampire didn’t bite me…”
He began to stammer about his thrilling encounter with vampires in Romania.
Chapter 33: The Trickster Chilo (Old Version)
It was September, and the weather was still suffocatingly hot.
In addition, being in a fully enclosed classroom was like being in a sauna, and everyone felt stuffy and uncomfortable.
Professor Quirrell was soon sweating profusely, but he still wrapped himself tightly in his thick scarf.
Roger Malone couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Professor, it’s so hot today, why are you still wearing a scarf? Aren’t you afraid of getting prickly heat?”
Professor Quirrell wiped the sweat from his forehead and said mysteriously:
“This scarf cannot be taken off. It is a precious gift given to me by an African prince. It helped me to get rid of the zombies.”
However, Susan noticed the printed words on the scarf: “Fabriqu _en_france (Made in France)”
Well, France is a big African country, so you can say it is from Africa if you insist.
Padma Patil couldn’t hide her curiosity and interrupted, “Professor, how did you defeat the resurrected zombies? Can you tell us about it?”
Professor Quirrell hesitated, trying to change the subject: “Uh, this… the weather in England… is just as… unbearable as always. I… prefer winter, when… at least it’s not so hot.”
“Professor Quirrell, are you lying?!” Lisa Dupin pointed out mercilessly.
Professor Quirrell’s cheeks flushed slightly, and he hastily defended himself, “I just… just can’t remember clearly. How can this be… considered a lie? Can the professor’s words… be false?”
Then he spoke a series of difficult-to-understand words in an Indian accent, such as “oblivion” and “inferi”, which made the whole class laugh: the classroom was filled with a happy atmosphere.
After finally dealing with these troublesome little wizards, Professor Quirrell finally started his course.
However, his teaching method was really shocking – he just mechanically read aloud from the Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook.
The young wizards were shocked to find that the so-called Defense Against the Dark Arts class had turned into a reading class.
I can take classes of this level!
When a brave young wizard asked Professor Quirrell to demonstrate the spell himself, he raised his right hand with a pitiful look, saying that he had injured his arm fighting the fire dragon and could not cast the spell.
This obvious excuse is an insult to everyone’s intelligence.
For a moment, the contemptuous eyes in the classroom shot at Quirrell like sharp swords. Everyone felt that if such a person could become a professor, there must be someone behind him.
Later, Quirrell simply stopped reading the book and asked the students to recite it themselves.
He also set boundaries and threatened to make us memorize the spell in the next class.
“Professor Quirrell is so stupid,” Susan complained indignantly after class. “I feel like I haven’t learned anything.”
Anthony revealed mysteriously, “I heard from my senior that Professor Snape has always wanted to apply to teach the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, but the headmaster wouldn’t let him.”
“Humph, the principal is such an old fool!”
Michael echoed indignantly, “Instead of letting a loser like Quirrell waste our youth, we might as well let Snape, that gloomy-looking old bat, teach us. At least he gives people the impression of being a shrewd and capable wizard!”
Hearing this, everyone expressed their agreement.
But Ye Ting believed that by Friday, they would not think so.
The second period today was Charms, and the Eaglets had to attend it with the Gryffindors.
But when they arrived at the Charms classroom, no Gryffindor was there.
Until five minutes before class started, the classroom door was suddenly pushed open and a large group of Gryffindor little wizards walked in one after another.
The wizard robes they wore were stained with dust, their faces were covered with dust stains, and they exuded an indescribable odor.
It looks like a big dung ball.
Ye Ting grabbed Hermione and asked curiously, “Did you… have a fight with Slytherin?”
The scene before him forced him to make such a guess.
All the young wizards in the Lion Court were in a state of disarray, obviously having experienced an unusual event.
“Oh, don’t mention it.”
Hermione waved her hands irritably. “We just finished a Herbology lesson, and we spent the entire lesson fertilizing the herbs. And Seamus blew up the bucket of fertilizer.”
Ye Ting: ?
He could understand the previous words, but Simo’s operation of blowing up the fertilizer barrel was really incomprehensible to him.
He had always thought that herbs in the wizarding world were fertilized with by-products of magical creatures such as dragon manure. Could it be that they also imported ammonium nitrate from Muggles?
He looked around and couldn’t help asking, “Where’s Neville? Why isn’t he here?”
“He’s in the infirmary,” Hermione explained.
Ye Ting was speechless.
A herbology class could actually cause such a big commotion, not only did the fertilizer barrel explode, but a little wizard was sent to the school infirmary, and everyone else was in a mess as well.
These little Gryffindor wizards are really…
What a talent!
“Hey, Hermione, the Herbology class at Hogwarts…are those herbs the same as the herbs we usually understand?” Ye Ting continued to ask tentatively.
Hermione sighed softly, “Although it’s not the same as what I’ve seen before, it should be the kind of herb you imagine.”
“Oh, then I feel relieved!” Ye Ting breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Hermione’s mood at this time was quite complicated.
She already felt a little regretful that she did not go to Ravenclaw with Ye Ting when they were sorted, but insisted on staying in Gryffindor, which he thought was the best. Otherwise, she would not have to suffer like this.
The bell for Charms class rang soon.
Professor Flitwick stood on a tall stool, making sure he could be seen by every young wizard in the classroom.
He looked around and showed a helpless expression.
“Originally, our Charms class should have started with the most basic spells, but seeing your current state…” Professor Flitwick shook his head, “I decided to teach you some more practical spells so that you can use them immediately.”
The state of the little wizards at this moment is indeed terrible.
It goes without saying that the Gryffindor wizards were all covered in dust and dirt, while the Ravenclaw wizards were filled with an indescribable smell of garlic.
If he didn’t take action, he would probably faint first.
“Okay,” Professor Flitwick cleared his throat, “Can anyone tell me what the spell for the Cleansing Charm is? And what does it do?”
Hermione raised her arms high and turned to look at Ye Ting provocatively.
Just now, she had made her decision.
Since I can’t transfer to another school, I’ll just change colleges.
She planned to turn her grief and anger into strength, starting with herself, to make Gryffindor what she wanted it to be.
And now, let s start by adding points to the college.
Ye Ting blinked and did not argue with her.
He did want to impress the professors, but he had a more sophisticated approach.
“Very good, Miss Granger.” Professor Flitwick called out Hermione’s name with a smile.
Hermione stood up quickly and said in a clear voice: “The spell of the [Cleaning Spell] is ‘clean and new’. Its function is to sweep away those things that we think are garbage according to our wishes.”
“Excellent, one point for Gryffindor.”
Professor Flitwick seemed very interested and continued, “Miss Granger explained it very well. The Cleansing Charm can remove the debris from our eyes. As long as you can use it skillfully, the annoying stains and smells on your body will disappear without a trace.”
“Like this,”
The professor demonstrated while talking.
“Clean it up!”
A breeze suddenly blew around Parvati Patil, who was sitting in the front row, as if an invisible whirlwind was surrounding her. After the wind stopped, Parvati looked brand new, all the dirt on her body disappeared, her wizard robes also looked brand new, and even the indescribable smell disappeared.
Parvati’s face was full of surprise, while the other little Gryffindor wizards looked at Professor Flitwick with anticipation, hoping that Professor Flitwick could do the same to them.
Obviously, Professor Flitwick didn’t intend to do that.
He warned earnestly: “The [Cleaning Spell] is indeed magical, but it also contains considerable risks. If your definition of ‘garbage’ is not clear enough, this spell may not only fail to work, but may even bring unexpected trouble.”
He looked around to make sure every student was paying attention. “Especially when you are cleaning your own dirt, you must be very clear about what you want to remove. Remember, when you cast the spell, your target must be clear and unmistakable.”
Chapter 34: The Academic Master and the Academic Master (Old Version)
In order to deepen the students’ understanding, Professor Flitwick gave another example of a spell going out of control.
A witch tried to use a cleansing spell to remove the hair on her legs, but the spell was too powerful and wiped out all the hair on her body, including her hair.
After hearing this example, all the young wizards, both male and female, shuddered.
Some individuals also gave up some bold ideas.
There is no way around it. Not only witches love beauty, but British wizards are also often troubled by baldness.
After talking about the example of failed spell casting, Professor Flitwick patiently and carefully explained the key points of casting the [Cleansing Spell].
“Okay, that’s enough of the theory,” Professor Flitwick announced. “Next, we’ll move on to the practical part.”
“Oh! No, no, no! Mr. Weasley, put down your wand!” the professor suddenly shouted.
Ye Ting quickly turned his head to look.
Ron pointed his wand at Harry and kept urging Harry to take out his wand.
Clearly, he couldn’t wait to get rid of those annoying traces of fertilizer on his body.
“Listen carefully, everyone,” Professor Flitwick said with an extremely serious expression, “Until you are able to master the Cleansing Spell, you must not use this magic on anyone. Do you understand?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Professor Flitwick waved his wand.
A box flew out from the desk, flew between each of the little wizards, and then scattered a small pile of sand in front of each person’s desk.
“Now, your goal is to use the Cleansing Spell to remove the sand. Let’s start, children!” Professor Flitwick announced.
The sound of spells rang out one after another in the classroom.
Ye Ting looked around and found that no one had successfully cast the spell yet.
Hermione chanted a spell softly, and with a slight wave of her wand, the sand on the table disappeared instantly.
“Brilliant, Miss Granger!” said Professor Flitwick delightedly. “Two points for Gryffindor for that!”
Hermione’s little face turned slightly red. She glanced at Ye Ting secretly and raised her chin even higher.
Ye Ting smiled faintly and said nothing.
He looked at the sand in front of him, without chanting any spell or even taking out his wand, he just snapped his fingers lightly.
The next moment, the sand on the table disappeared without a trace.
“Goodness! What do I see?” exclaimed Professor Flitwick. “A marvel of silent and wandless magic!”
Professor Flitwick was so excited that he seemed about to faint. Ravenclaw really had found a treasure this year.
He looked at Ye Ting, his eyes filled with unprecedented admiration.
He had heard before that Ye Ting made a great splash in the Transfiguration class, but he didn’t expect that he was also so good at spells.
It can be said that Ye Ting’s outstanding performance and talent far surpass those of other little wizards.
He couldn’t help but think that Ravenclaw had always been suppressed by Slytherin and Gryffindor, and this year there was finally hope of a comeback.
“Five points to Ravenclaw!” Professor Flitwick announced loudly and excitedly.
At this moment, all the little wizards present stopped waving their wands.
What did they see?
A teenager of their age had actually mastered the technique of casting spells silently and without a wand.
This technique is difficult to master even for many experienced wizards.
Some young wizards who have just entered the magical world don t understand what is going on, but their classmates will immediately help them with magic.
“You… can you really cast any spell silently and without a wand?” Hermione looked at Ye Ting in shock.
“How can it be so magical?”
Ye Ting spread his hands: “I can only do this for the simplest magic.”
Of course, he would not tell others about the magical uses of the Eye of God.
“Even so, it’s still very impressive.” Hermione praised sincerely, “At least, you’re ahead of me.”
boom!!!
The two were whispering when suddenly a deafening explosion was heard in the classroom.
Ye Ting reacted quickly. With a wave of his hand, a transparent shield immediately appeared in front of them, blocking the splashing smoke and shock waves.
Hermione looked at Ye Ting in astonishment.
Didn t we agree that only the simplest magic can be performed silently and without a wand?
[Obstacle Spell] is not that simple.
“…Well, as a wizard, it’s normal for me to have practiced the [Barrier Spell] before.” Ye Ting touched his head awkwardly.
Hermione bit her lip and swore to herself, “I’d be a fool if I believed you again.”
The two turned around and saw a little Gryffindor wizard standing there awkwardly, his face covered in black and gray, the tip of his wand blooming.
Obviously, he was the culprit of the explosion just now.
The sudden explosion was so powerful that it was comparable to firecrackers.
Ye Ting recognized the little wizard at a glance. He was Seamus Finnigan, who accidentally exploded the fertilizer barrel in the Herbology class.
He felt that if Seamus focused on wizard duels, he might be able to shine.
Imagine that when you duel with him, no matter what spell he recites, it may end up having the effect of the [Explosion Spell]. Are you afraid?
One hour and twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
At twelve o’clock, the bell for the Charms class rang.
Through this class, Ye Ting had a direct understanding of the level of this class of young wizards.
By the end of the get out of class, only a few little wizards were able to reduce the sand on the table, while most of the little wizards’ spells were completely ineffective.
The herbal medicine class in the afternoon was relaxing and enjoyable.
At least they don’t have a Seamus who blows up a fertilizer barrel.
Although Lisa’s talent in herbology is not as good as her attainments in magic, the first-year knowledge is easy to understand after all, and Ye Ting is able to cope with it with ease with her intelligence.
In addition, Ye Ting became stronger after collecting the werewolf, and his physical fitness was much better than that of the generally weak little wizards. Therefore, he successfully left a deep impression on Professor Sprout in class.
The professor praised him highly and said he was “a natural born to study herbal medicine.”
However, Ye Ting felt that this compliment was not worth being happy about, as he always had a feeling of being “born with a holy body of civil engineering”.
After several days of performance, Ye Ting’s excellence has been unanimously recognized by the teachers and students of Hogwarts.
Now everyone knows that there are two top students among this year’s freshmen – Hermione Granger from Gryffindor and Ye Ting from Ravenclaw.
These two people are simply answering machines in the classroom. No matter what questions the teacher throws out, they can answer fluently. They can also complete classroom tasks easily and their homework is perfect.
With their support, the scores of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw soared like a rocket.
Hufflepuffs and Slytherins could only watch as they were left behind.
However, there are differences among the top students.
Hermione is very self-aware of this.
On the surface, the two seemed similar, but as the young wizard who spent the most time with Ye Ting, only Hermione knew that this man’s genius was not comparable to that of ordinary people.
When the two were in the library, Hermione never saw Ye Ting preview or review his homework. It never took him more than half an hour to complete his homework. The rest of the time he was either fiddling with a strange typewriter or flipping through various miscellaneous books.
By Thursday night, he even skipped the library and no one knew where he went to hang out.
She was amazed at his free-spirited attitude towards learning and his outstanding performance.
In the Transfiguration class, he demonstrated his skills in transforming large objects.
Ye Ting’s various silent and wandless spells made people even more despairing.
Hermione knew very well that her current good performance was all due to her hard work and good memory.
But facing a person as talented as Ye Ting, she still felt deeply frustrated.
If I want to catch up with Ye Ting, I have to study harder.
Chapter 35: In-depth Study of the Principles and Functional Limits of the Room of Requirement (Old Version)
In fact, Hermione still has some misunderstandings about Ye Ting.
In her opinion, Ye Ting only knew how to read miscellaneous books, but she had no idea that Ye Ting’s learning progress had long surpassed the step-by-step stage.
Lisa’s wisdom allowed Ye Ting to get to the core of the subject during the learning process.
For him, simply following the textbooks is not enough. He needs to learn a wide range of magic and broaden his knowledge so that he can apply what he has learned to other areas and make further progress on the road of magic.
By the way, Ye Ting didn’t go out to fool around on Thursday night, but went to look for the Room of Requirement.
The Room of Requests, also known as the “Coming and Going Room”, is said to appear and disappear only when someone really needs it.
When it appears, it can always arrange the appropriate space just right according to the needs of the person seeking help.
In addition, there is a special house in the Room of Requirement, which stores all the things that have been lost in the castle or hidden by young wizards in the thousand years since Hogwarts was founded.
At the same time, the Room of Requirement was cast under a powerful “unmappable” spell, making it impossible for the Room of Requirement itself and the people inside to appear on any map, not even the Marauder’s Map.
If he could find it, Ye Ting would not only have a relatively private room, but also be able to conduct certain research without worrying too much about the inquiring eyes of others.
At the same time, that treasure house can also provide Ye Ting with a large number of potential collections.
Ye Ting has always wanted to do this since he entered school.
There happened to be no classes on Thursday afternoon of the first week in Ravenclaw, so he left the dormitory early in the afternoon.
After leaving the dormitory, Ye Ting found a corner and let Linnit lie on his shoulder to activate his combat skill [Mysterious Hidden Barrier Body Technique].
In an instant, Ye Ting was taken into the shadows by Linnitt.
At this moment, they can no longer be seen from a normal person’s perspective.
At the same time, Ye Ting felt that his body was surrounded by wind elements. He seemed to become as light as a swallow, and his movement speed also increased significantly.
With Linnet’s help, he entered the [Mysterious Shadow Thief] form.
He did this to avoid unnecessary trouble.
After all, it was not yet 4 o’clock in the afternoon, and the castle was bustling with people. He didn’t want to run into Filch, ghosts, or any other troublemakers.
Although it is not yet curfew, if someone sees me, I will have to explain myself and it will easily attract unnecessary attention.
Just like that, after hiding his body, Ye Ting ran to the eighth floor of the castle in one breath, and after patiently searching for more than ten minutes, he finally found the tapestry depicting the troll beating the stupid Barnabas with a stick.
He stood opposite the tapestry and walked back and forth along the wall three times.
Then, a miracle happened a shiny door appeared out of nowhere on the wall!
Ye Ting suddenly opened the door, flashed in, and then quickly closed the door.
He peered out through the crack in the door and immediately determined that the interior space of the Room of Requirement was obviously not in the same dimension as Hogwarts.
It simply temporarily connects a suitable room to Hogwarts according to the needs of the user.
The spatial knowledge here is still very profound to Ye Ting. He can only simply judge that the principle here is completely different from the space created by the [Traceless Extension Spell] commonly used by modern wizards.
Then he looked around, and sure enough, the room he wanted appeared before him.
This place is like an office and a laboratory. The four walls are filled with bookshelves filled with all kinds of books and scrolls. The back of each book is engraved with spells in different languages. On the table are all kinds of strange bottles and jars, as well as crucibles, furnaces and other experimental equipment.
It can be said that all of Ye Ting s needs for spell and potion research were met by this room.
“It really is the House of Requests!” Ye Ting exclaimed sincerely.
He casually flipped through the books on the bookshelf and looked at the experimental equipment carefully. It was indeed very complete.
Suddenly, an almost crazy idea popped into his mind – he wanted to test the limits of this Room of Requirement.
“Perhaps, I should try to see how well this house can satisfy my needs?”
Ye Ting already had a plan in mind, so he stood up immediately.
“I want a strategic missile silo, and an intercontinental strategic missile with a nuclear warhead!” he muttered in his mind, “It doesn’t matter which country it is from, whether it’s Dongfeng, Baiyang or Minuteman!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole cabin suddenly shook violently.
The tables, chairs, books and equipment in front of me all disappeared, and the entire space was reshaped by an invisible force.
The vibration lasted for half a minute before gradually subsiding.
However, half a minute later, the shaking subsided, but the expected nuclear silo and nuclear missile did not appear, and the wish-granting house was empty, as if everything was just Ye Ting’s illusion.
Ye Ting couldn’t help but feel disappointed.
Judging from the dramatic reaction just now, although the Room of Requirement is magical, it also has its limits.
“Okay, let’s change to something simpler.” He coughed lightly, “Give me a fighter jet, an F-14 or a Su-27, whichever you like, any one will do!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the house shook again, and even more violently than before.
Ye Ting staggered and almost fell, but fortunately a pillar appeared in front of him in time, allowing him to hold on to maintain his balance.
But unfortunately, the “response” of the Room of Requirement was limited to this, and there was still no trace of the fighter jet he had been longing for.
Ye Ting frowned: “Can’t even this be done?”
He tried to lower his request: “Then…how about giving me a Type 59 main battle tank?”
The house shook again, but the familiar five pairs of wheels did not appear.
“Or, how about a mortar? I don’t mind an old antique from World War II.” He said almost pleadingly.
“How about… an AK?”
“A box gun is also fine!”
“If all else fails, you can at least give me a bayonet, right?”
But no matter how he compromised, the Room of Requirement never gave him the response he expected.
He originally thought that the Room of Requirement was stuck and didn’t respond, so he deliberately repeated “a bayonet” several times, but the result was still disappointing – no matter how violently the room shook, it was still empty.
Ye Ting finally couldn’t help it and yelled, “What the hell, you can’t even conjure up a bayonet? How dare you call this the Room of Requirement?”
However, there was no reaction from the house, except for Linette who lazily turned over at Ye Ting’s feet and glanced at him, not understanding who the owner was talking to.
Ye Ting thought for a moment and came up with a new guess.
Could it be that this Room of Requirement is only good at making items related to wizards?
His heart moved, and he spoke tentatively: “Then… give me a set of Ming Guang armor and a matchlock gun to see.”
This time, the Room of Requirement responded quickly – a European-style matchlock gun appeared out of thin air in front of him, but the Ming Guang armor was still nowhere to be seen.
“Okay, then how about giving me a full set of plate armor?” he continued to test.
Then, a bright full-body plate armor appeared, which was almost the same in shape as the walking armors in Hogwarts.
Next, Ye Ting’s interest was completely aroused, and he couldn’t wait to ask the Room of Requirement to produce three more books: “The Theory of Relativity”, “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” and “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”.
At the same time, he also asked for two flying brooms – a Seven-Star Sweeper and a Nimbus 2000.
In the blink of an eye, Sherlock Holmes, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and Transparent 7 all appeared before his eyes. However, Relativity and Nimbus 2000 did not appear.
Ye Ting threw the book and the flying broom aside, frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought.
Chapter 36 Treasure Hunt (Old Version)
Ye Ting had previously speculated that the Room of Requirement might not be able to create items that are too advanced.
However, the experiment just now overturned his idea.
Just think about it, compared to the Ming Guang Armor, the matchlock gun is definitely more advanced, but now, he does have a Renaissance matchlock gun in front of him, but the Ming Guang Armor has not appeared yet.
Obviously, the rules of the House of Requests creation have nothing to do with the age or technological content of the items.
Then he wondered if the Room of Requirement was unable to produce items from the Muggle world?
But the emergence of “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” overturned this speculation.
This novel was written by a Muggle, published by a Muggle publisher, and is a best-seller in the Muggle world. It can be said that it is a Muggle item that cannot be purer.
After eliminating so many irrelevant options, Ye Ting finally came to some conclusion:
After this series of tests, Ye Ting came to a conclusion:
The magic of the Room of Requirement is limited to recreating objects that have ever appeared in Hogwarts Castle.
This inference is not difficult to understand. Although the Room of Requirement, as a part of Hogwarts, contains a certain spirituality, it is not a living being after all, and cannot travel around and gain knowledge like humans.
Therefore, it naturally cannot create something that it has never “seen with its own eyes”.
In other words, the “knowledge” of the Room of Requirement depends entirely on what Hogwarts students have brought in.
This also reasonably explains why it can transform into European plate armor but knows nothing about the Eastern Ming Guang armor.
Likewise, it is not uncommon for students to bring a best-selling copy of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes into school, but they are unlikely to bring a profound academic treatise from the Muggle world, such as The Theory of Relativity, into Hogwarts.
It is not difficult to understand why you can find the old model of the Seven-Star Flying Broomstick here, but not the latest Nimbus 2000.
However, Ye Ting estimated that by the end of this semester, the Nimbus 2000 should appear in the “inventory” of the Room of Requirement.
After roughly exploring the changing range of the Room of Requirement, Ye Ting finally began the real purpose of his trip – treasure hunting.
He closed his eyes and said to himself, “I need a place to hide something.”
The next moment, the world was spinning.
When Ye Ting opened his eyes again, he was surprised to find himself in a magnificent hall.
The room was as spacious as a cathedral.
Several soft beams of light filtered through the towering windows. Between the light beams, a city made up of various objects came into view. Ye Ting could see that these were made up of objects hidden by successive generations of Hogwarts students.
On both sides of the streets, piles of old furniture are crumbling, as if they will collapse at any time.
These pieces of furniture may be “evidence” hidden by students to cover up their magical mistakes, or they may be waste secretly hidden by house-elves to maintain the cleanliness and decency of the castle.
Thousands of books were scattered all over the place, including banned secrets, graffitied classics, and even stolen copies.
Winged slingshots and fanged flying saucers hovered feebly in the air, and spoiled potions still flowed from some shabby bottles.
In addition, there are various hats, jewelry, cloaks, and an object shaped like a dragon eggshell;
Several tightly corked bottles flickered with strange lights, while several rusty spears and a bloodstained axe lay quietly in the corner.
This is the waste dump in the Room of Requirement. These abandoned items have been lying here quietly for centuries, with no one paying attention to them. It seems that no one will touch them in a hundred years.
However, to Ye Ting, they are priceless treasures.
Although his previous treasure hunting trip in Diagon Alley had failed, Ye Ting had also figured out some rules of the [Great Collector System].
To obtain advanced rewards, the collection must consider two aspects: the preciousness of the item and the special meaning behind it.
The first point is simple: the rarer and more valuable the item, the greater the reward for collecting it.
Just like that opal necklace, its rewards are far better than other miscellaneous magic amulets.
The special meaning is a bit more complicated, and it may come from many aspects.
For example, if an item once belonged to a great wizard, then it carries the extraordinary significance that belonged to that great man;
Or maybe it s the first wand or the first flying broom of a little wizard, which also contain important marks of growth;
Furthermore, even if it is a prop used by a minor character in the original plot, as long as it occupies a place in the story, it also has special significance.
The storage room in front of us stores all the lost or hidden items of Hogwarts over the past thousand years. It can be said that there are many antiques with a long history among them.
Considering that over the past thousand years, a large number of great wizards in Britain and even Europe have come from Hogwarts,
Perhaps we can find quite a few of their relics here.
In the following time, Ye Ting began his treasure hunt journey.
He picked up a wolf-fang flying saucer and threw it lightly. The flying saucer flew out with a beep and hit a pile of forbidden objects. In an instant, the pile of forbidden objects collapsed like a landslide, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Linnet curiously approached a rusty sword and tried to step on it to play.
However, the seemingly solid sword broke under her feet and almost hit her feet.
Linnet jumped away in fright, but soon her attention was drawn to a winged slingshot.
She jumped happily on the pile of debris and played “catching butterflies”.
The man and the cat just touched here and there, trying out the sundries in here and picking out things that looked valuable.
Unfortunately, almost everything here is considered garbage not worth collecting in the eyes of the system.
However, he had an unexpected discovery among a pile of old broomsticks.
When he chose to collect a broom that was almost broken, the system finally responded.
[Congratulations to the host for collecting the flying broom “Sweeping One Star”, and the reward is “Initial Wings”]For a long time, wizards’ broomsticks were made by individual wizards, but that changed in 1926 when three brothers, Bob, Bill, and Barnaby Allerton, changed all that.
The Sweep Broom Company they founded ushered in a new era of racing brooms.
Their first product, the Sweeper One, was the first product of this revolution. This broom was mass-produced for the first time and quickly became popular throughout the wizarding world.
As the earliest racing broom and a pioneer in mass production, the Sweep One Star is undoubtedly of great collection value.
As for the Wings of Origin, they are actually the Wings of Wind that Amber gave to the Traveler.
This is a rather sophisticated alchemical device, which is very small when folded and can be hidden under a cloak.
When unfolded, the Wind Wing acts like a hang glider, but is much more convenient and maneuverable than a hang glider.
For Ye Ting, this is not a treasure, but at least it can give him an extra layer of safety when riding his flying broom.
Unfortunately, the other flying brooms also looked very old, but perhaps because they were too badly damaged, they were all regarded as garbage by the system.
However, the feedback they gave after being “swallowed” by the system was quite good.
What about [Comfortable cushion], [Swift balancing pedal], [Vigorous broom handle for opportunity acceleration], etc.
There are all kinds of broom accessories and affixes.
Isn’t this encouraging him to modify the broom?
Take them all, and then modify both the Nimbus 2000 and the One-Star Broom.
In addition, the “Winged Slingshot” that Linnitte pounced on also triggered the collection conditions, bringing Ye Ting a three-star weapon [Slingshot].
In the world of Teyvat, this bow can be considered a high-quality alchemical weapon, but in Ye Ting’s hands it is purely useless.
Bows and arrows are not as useful as magic.
However, Ye Ting still gladly accepted the reward.
He hid the Wings of Wind under his cloak, put away his slingshot, and continued walking forward.
Chapter 37 Teleport Anchor Drawing (Old Version)
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for collecting Celestina Warbeck’s banjo, and the reward is the tune of the big dream][Ding! Congratulations to the host for collecting the five-legged monster skeleton, and reward: dust-proof potion formula][Ding! Congratulations to the host for collecting the menu of the house elf, and you will be rewarded with a full set of menus from Wanmin Hall]Ye Ting spent five or six hours searching in this collection house, not even having time to eat dinner.
Although the harvest was quite rich, most of them were miscellaneous things. After being collected, they were swallowed by the system. In the end, they could only return some materials, such as stone amber, floating crystal core, and nectar.
The few valuable collections were all rewarded with alchemical formulas, recipes, and even musical scores.
For Ye Ting, these things are not of great benefit, but at least they are better than nothing.
In short, as the search deepened, Ye Ting’s face became more and more ugly.
Until he picked up a small box filled with glittering silver powder.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for collecting Floo powder for the first time, and reward teleportation anchor manufacturing drawings]Seeing this, Ye Ting was shocked.
“Is this anchor point the same as the teleportation anchor point on the continent of Teyvat?”
He couldn’t wait to open the drawing and quickly confirmed its authenticity.
The drawings not only detail the method of manufacturing the real anchor point, but also include a simplified version of the temporary anchor point manufacturing drawings.
“This is good stuff!” Ye Ting said excitedly.
With this gain, he felt that all his efforts tonight were worth it.
The function of the anchor point is exactly the same as in the game.
As long as he installs an anchor point at home, he can cast a spell to teleport back home at any time no matter where he is.
This is much more convenient than the traditional means of travel in the wizarding world – Floo powder and portkeys.
If you want to use Floo powder, you can only start from a fireplace connected to the Floo network and go to another fireplace connected to the Floo network;
As for the door key, you have to touch it to be teleported to the corresponding place.
It s nothing like a teleportation anchor point, which can be used anytime and anywhere!
The best part is that using the teleportation anchor point to transfer can break through Hogwarts’ blockade of [Apparition].
As long as Ye Ting can place an anchor point outside the school and one inside the school, wouldn’t he be able to sneak out of the school at any time?
What a pity, he got the blueprint too late!
As a daily necessity that every family in the wizarding world needs when traveling, Floo powder is not a very difficult magical item to obtain. If he had bought some in Diagon Alley, he would probably have an anchor point at home by now.
Looking at the time, curfew would be in half an hour. With regret in his heart, Ye Ting hugged Linnette and left the Room of Requirement.
On Friday morning, the first-year students from Gryffindor and Slytherin finally had their first Potions class.
Professor Snape showed no mercy to these freshmen. He taught them a good lesson and made them feel the cruelty of the adult world in advance.
By lunchtime, news of Harry’s experience had spread throughout Hogwarts.
Snape seemed to be “paying special attention” to him, asking questions one after another.
Harry was slightly careless when answering, and before he had time to look at Snape, he was considered to be sleeping in class, and Gryffindor was deducted five points;
When Harry looked at Snape, he was deducted another five points for “glaring at the professor with ill intentions”;
So Harry carefully maintained eye contact with Snape, but did not dare to look him in the eye. This was actually accused of “disrespecting teachers” and he was deducted an extra five points!
To make matters worse, Harry accidentally broke the glass bottle containing the potion, and was deducted another five points for “damaging public property”.
However, just one minute later, Malfoy followed Harry’s footsteps and was awarded five points.
This reason is also weird. It is because Malfoy assisted Professor Snape in destroying defective experimental equipment, thus preventing a potential teaching accident.
However, the same thing took on a different meaning when it came out of Hermione’s mouth.
“It’s me, it was me first, it was obviously me who started first… whether it was raising my hand or answering a question, why did Professor Snape only let Harry answer and ignored me!” Hermione complained to Ye Ting angrily at the dinner table.
“He only let Harry answer, which is blatant favoritism!
Because of Ye Ting’s appearance, Hermione hung out with him, Susan and others all day long. The person she was most familiar with in Gryffindor was Neville, and her relationship with Harry was average.
Therefore, she didn’t realize there was anything fishy about it.
After hearing this, Ting rolled his eyes helplessly. Harry might not agree with her conclusion.
“That’s the way Professor Snape is. You’d better not be so active in his class.”
“But how can I give extra points to Gryffindor if I don’t answer the questions?” Hermione muttered.
“You’ve added quite a few points, haven’t you?”
Ye Ting actually wanted to say that he should be happy if he didn’t get any points deducted in Snape’s class, so why was he thinking about getting extra points?
All in all, except Hermione, the other freshmen finally understood what a terrible man Snape was.
Upon hearing the news, countless young eagles trembled with fear. Ye Ting s roommates were even more frightened, and some even dared not to go to class.
Their concerns are not without reason:
You know, Ye Ting confronted Professor Snape on the first day of school.
If Professor Flitwick hadn’t arrived in time, who knows what would have happened next?
Now that Snape is taking such good care of Harry Potter, won t Ye Ting be unable to escape the disaster as well?
They are Ye Ting’s roommates.
Since Snape is targeting Ye Ting, don t they also become potential targets ?
This argument is well-reasoned and convincing.
In short, when Ye Ting left the dormitory to go to class, they were still lingering in the dormitory.
In the afternoon, it was Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff’s turn to have Potions class, which was in a basement.
This place is worthy of being the old bat’s territory. The decoration style of the whole room exudes a gloomy atmosphere.
Glass jars of various sizes are hung on the walls, containing all kinds of strange animal specimens. The air is filled with the smell of formaldehyde, making people feel as if they are in a morgue.
The human skeleton models hanging on the wall are even more creepy. Their empty eye sockets are particularly scary, and whenever a little wizard approaches, these skeletons will suddenly make a strange “hehe” laugh, which makes people shudder.
In a corner of the classroom, there was a mummy, wrapped tightly in cloth strips, revealing only a shrunken face. On the inscription plate on the mummy were three large characters: “daily necessities”.
“Professor, what about the mummy?” Padma raised her hand tremblingly before class and asked.
Professor Snape did not get angry this time. Instead, he was surprisingly patient and explained:
“This was a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts a few years ago. He borrowed my territory to brew a potion, but his skills were not good enough and he messed up the potion. After he drank the bottle of failed potion, he turned into this mummy.”
“Potions…are they really that scary?” Hannah asked with lingering fear.
“No, it’s not that dangerous…” Snape dragged out the tone and laughed sarcastically, “As long as you are not idiots like the ones I often meet. For smart people, brewing potions is still quite safe.”
After hearing this, many students were secretly worried. They were very aware of their own IQ.
“certainly,”
Snape continued to grin, revealing a strange smile, “I promise that even if you are stupid, you will not become mummies. However, whether you will lie in the school hospital or not is not up to me. It all depends on how much smarter you are than the troll.”
As soon as he said this, the whole classroom fell into silence.
Snape squinted his eyes and looked around, then picked up the roster and began to call the roll.
When he read the name “Ye Ting”, he deliberately dragged out his voice and glanced at Ye Ting coldly.
After the first night of school, he remembered the name.
In the following days, he heard this name again and again, and many professors praised him for his intelligence.
And he, Severus Snape, hated this kind of little wizard who wanted to attract attention the most.
Just then, the wooden door was pushed open with a bang.
Ye Ting’s roommates Michael, Anthony and others appeared at the door panting, and it was obvious that they were late.
Michael stammered, “I’m sorry, Professor, we are lost…”
Snape interrupted him coldly: “I thought that creatures with higher IQs than trolls could at least find their own classrooms. It seems that I overestimated you Ravenclaw students. Perhaps I should suggest to the headmaster to raise the admission standards.”
There was silence all around, no one dared to speak, only the crackling sound of burning torches echoed in the air.
Michael and the other two stood there awkwardly, not knowing whether to leave or stay.
This stupid look made Snape even angrier: “What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and find a seat! Don’t stand there like an idiot. You are lowering the grade of the entire classroom.”
Amid the whispers, Snape suddenly turned his gaze to Ye Ting: “Mr. Ye, why don’t you help your roommates find the way? Does their lateness show your excellence? Because of you, Ravenclaw will deduct one point!”
Ye Ting and Susan exchanged glances, both of them felt helpless.
Chapter 38 Snape’s Targeting (Old Version)
As soon as the class started, Snape showed strong aggressiveness.
He waved his robe and strode back to the podium, his voice hoarse and low:
“You are here to learn potion making – an ancient, precise and rigorous craft. I require you to pay full attention in every class and don’t let me down.”
As soon as the words fell, Lisa Dupin asked curiously: “Professor, what exactly is the potion?”
Snape raised a strange smile and said slowly:
It is the secret language of broken viscera, the chant of coagulated blood, the wild dance of entangled tentacles, the groan of twisted plants, the elegy of shriveled limbs, the cry of a broken brain, the temptation of scarlet fruit It interprets the ups and downs of life in the interweaving of red and white, and returns to the silent eternity in the fusion of yellow and brown. This is an extremely gorgeous and intoxicating art.
Listening to this dreamlike description, Ye Ting unconsciously licked his lips with the tip of his tongue.
Somehow, the aroma of malatang and hotpot suddenly emerged in his mind, and his stomach started to growl.
Snape had just finished his opening remarks when his eyes turned to Ye Ting.
“Mr. Ye!” He suddenly challenged, “Tell me, what kind of potion will be made by boiling scurvy, lovage and sneezeweed together?”
“Confusion potion!” Even though he was suddenly attacked, Ye Ting still stood up calmly and replied calmly: “This drug will make people impulsive and reckless.”
This answer is perfect. If it were a different professor, Ravenclaw house might have gained five extra points for it.
Unfortunately, Severus Snape’s cold face still showed no expression, as if this answer was not worth mentioning to him.
“Okay, let me ask you another question.” He continued to press, “What is the use of salamander blood in potions? How do we usually use it?”
“It’s a precious ingredient used to enhance the effects of potions!” Ye Ting blurted out, “The blood of a salamander can greatly enhance the effects of other potions. It is an indispensable catalyst in potions.”
Snape nodded slightly, but there was still not much approval on his face: “If I need you to find distilled water, where would you look for it?”
“White fresh mullet is mainly produced in China, the United States and Mexico.” Ye Ting answered without thinking, “So, I might buy a ticket to East Asia or North America first.”
Isn’t this the same as someone asking you where to pick mulberries and you saying they can buy them in the supermarket?
After these words were spoken, several young Ravenclaw wizards could not help but laugh out loud.
But Snape glanced over and they immediately shut up.
Ye Ting shrugged and added, “Of course, if you have to look for it nearby, Dictamni generally grows on hills, in flat bushes, or under grasslands and sparse forests.”
“Reading from a script.” Snape snorted and finally came up with this comment.
Regardless of whether Ye Ting was just reading from a textbook or had real knowledge, Professor Snape had to abide by the rules of Hogwarts – if he answered the questions correctly, he would get extra points.
Snape still has some moral integrity.
Of course, this also has something to do with Ye Ting being a Ravenclaw student. If it was Harry…
“One point for Ravenclaw!” Snape said reluctantly, and the tone of his voice sounded like he was cutting his flesh.
The eyes of the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students around him changed when they looked at Ye Ting. There was surprise and reverence, as if they were looking at a god.
These questions and their answers were beyond their knowledge. If they were called out by Snape, they would be lucky not to be scolded.
It is unimaginable that Ye Ting could make Snape speechless like this.
But Ye Ting was able to do it so easily, which is really admirable and worthy of respect.
However, Ye Ting and the young wizards were not happy for long, as Snape added slowly, “When you answer questions next time, don’t forget to add ‘Professor’! Mr. Ye, you are disrespectful to the teacher, and I will deduct two points.”
Ye Ting shrugged helplessly and sat down.
“Why don’t you write down all these key points?” Snape’s voice suddenly rose. “Do you think you have mastered them?”
“You are the worst class I have ever taught!”
The sound of taking notes immediately rang out in the classroom, and the students all buried their heads in taking notes, afraid of missing a single word.
Then, Snape walked to the podium and said in a low voice: “Today, I will teach you how to mix a potion that can treat scabies.”
“I really can’t think of a simpler potion than this. If any of you still fail, I really have to suggest that the headmaster think carefully about whether he has invited some trolls in!”
These words made everyone hold their breath and prick up their ears, for fear that they would miss any details that would cause the potion to fail and be identified as a “troll”.
Snape waved his wand lightly, and a large amount of text immediately appeared on the blackboard, recording in detail the steps of making the potion.
“Oh, by the way,” he deliberately dragged out the tone, with a hint of mocking smile on his face, “the book “Magic Pharmacy and Potions” in your hand “
He paused deliberately before continuing, “It was written by the famous wizard Arsene Gigg, and is also a textbook designated by the Ministry of Magic. But I have to say that some of the content in that book, although I don’t want to offend you, is indeed outdated from fifty years ago.”
“So,” he said, raising his voice, “if my experimental procedures are different from what is written in the book, don’t be surprised. Just do it according to my instructions!”
A Hufflepuff badger muttered, “What’s the point of buying all these textbooks?”
Ye Ting recognized him as Wayne Hopkins.
Professor Snape turned his sharp eyes to Wayne, and he was not angry. Instead, he explained calmly: “The knowledge in the textbook is accurate, but the subject of Potions is constantly improving. Many operating procedures have been updated, and we must keep pace with the times.”
When it comes to Potions, Snape’s temperament instantly changes. He walks to the podium and emphasizes seriously:
“I repeat, Potions is not only a precise science, but also a rigorous craft. Here, there are no so-called ‘textbooks’, only ‘reference books’!”
He paused, and continued, “Don’t think that potions are some old-fashioned thing that never changes. In addition to those principles that have stood the test of time, the brewing methods are changing with each passing day.”
“I won’t teach you a bunch of theories by rote in class. You have to work hard on the basics after class. My mission is to…”
He pointed to the blackboard next to him that was filled with various materials.
“It is to guide you in practice and teach you what I think is the best brewing technique!”
On the blackboard, white chalk writing is clearly visible: dry nettle, poisonous snake tooth, horned slug, porcupine quill…
“The materials and steps to use are written on this blackboard. The storage cabinet has everything you need.”
As soon as Snape finished speaking, the door of the cupboard popped open with a bang, as if it had heard a call.
He reminded again: “Be careful when brewing potions. If you make a mistake, these potions will not only fail to cure the disease, but will make you full of boils.”
At this point, Snape’s thin lips curled up into a weird smile: “So, be sure to follow the steps strictly. I don’t want to see you in the hospital this weekend.”
“Okay, don’t just stand there, form groups of two and get started!”
Chapter 39 Electromagnetic Heating Graphite Crucible (Old Version)
At Snape’s command, the whole classroom immediately became busy.
The students rushed to the storage cabinet to get the ingredients, and then started to make soup in pairs.
Ye Ting and Susan were in the same group.
Susan was very talented in Transfiguration, but seemed a little flustered in Potions class.
After a burst of smoke and fire, she accidentally turned into a clown, and her efforts were only rewarded with a crucible of green waste.
“Potions is much more difficult than Transfiguration.” Susan stared at the green liquid in the crucible with a bitter face, her brows twisted into the shape of a “?” character.
What about Ye Ting?
He had already begun to study potions in depth during the holidays. With Lisa’s talent in this area, a mere scabies potion was not a problem for him at all.
However, it seemed that because he lost face by failing to defeat Ye Ting in the test just now, Snape targeted him again.
“Mr. Ye, why did you use this substandard crucible? Are you trying to attract attention?”
When Ye Ting’s potion was halfway through, Snape walked up to him and started mocking him as if he had found something to hold against him.
Ye Ting’s equipment was indeed different: a black crucible of unknown material, beakers and flasks that were not made of crystal but were engraved with precise scales, and a scale that was also engraved with scales…
These equipments are quite different from the retro equipments of other little wizards present.
Facing Snape’s provocation, Ye Ting stood up and met those cold eyes without fear.
“Professor Snape, I think we need to have a good discussion about the purpose of these experimental instruments of mine.”
The other party was obviously looking for trouble, but Ye Ting had no intention of indulging him.
With Lisa’s talent as his backing, he had enough confidence to face Snape’s challenge.
“All my experimental equipment is unique because they are all Muggle products.”
He picked up a beaker and said seriously, “I personally think that in this kind of standardized device that does not require alchemical enchantment, Muggle products have gone further than us.”
He gently shook the beaker in his hand and continued, “As you said, potions is a discipline that requires precision and rigor. In this regard, Muggles do much better than wizards. Each one is marked with precise scales, which is much better than our crystal bottles of varying sizes and without any measurement. Muggle test tubes and beakers are all made exactly the same, accurate to milliliters, which can greatly improve the accuracy of preparing potions.”
As he spoke, he pointed to the scale next to him.
“Look at this. We wizards are still using those outdated brass balances. It’s good enough if we can achieve an accuracy of 1 gram. But what about the pan balance used by Muggles in experiments? The accuracy can reach 0.1 gram! Just for weighing medicinal materials, I am already ten times more accurate than others. If I switch to a more advanced mechanical analytical balance, the accuracy can reach 1 milligram, which is a direct increase of 100 times!”
“Finally, let’s talk about the crucible issue that you are most concerned about.”
Ye Ting paused, giving Snape some time to digest his previous words, before continuing.
“The pewter crucibles that freshmen are required to use, to be honest, have a low melting point and are not corrosion-resistant. They are useless except for being cheap. Even Muggles have eliminated this kind of thing. The problem of low melting point can be solved by lowering the temperature and sacrificing the boiling speed, but poor corrosion resistance is a big problem. This is why you have always emphasized that the last medicinal ingredient – porcupine quills – must be added after the crucible is off the fire!”
“Because the porcupine quills and the medicine being boiled are both acidic, once dissolved, they will mix into a highly corrosive mixed acid. This mixed acid reacts actively at high temperatures and can easily melt through the bottom of the pewter crucible!”
Crash!
As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening roar suddenly rang out, and the whole classroom was shaking.
Ye Ting reacted quickly, grabbed Susan’s arm, pulled her behind him, and hid beside the crucible.
The girl only felt her wrist being tightly grasped, then her chest sank, the two water balls were compressed into round pancakes, and the whole person was pressed to the ground by Ye Ting.
She was originally panicking, but at this moment she felt an inexplicable sense of security in her heart.
After a while, the two of them stood up.
It turned out that Justin and Ernie’s cauldron next door had exploded violently, the potion in the pot splashed everywhere, and large charred holes were instantly burned on the ground and walls. The classroom was filled with a pungent smell that made people sick.
Justin’s left half body was splashed with potion, and half of his face quickly broke out with dense scabies, making him look extremely painful.
Ernie suffered on the right side, and the two of them, one on the left and one on the right, were a perfect match.
“It seems that there has been an unlucky guy who failed because of trying to take things easy.” Ye Ting watched the scene with a gloating look.
“A bunch of idiots!” Snape walked over with a gloomy face, waved his wand, and the potion spilled on the ground was cleaned up instantly.
At this moment, Snape was almost furious as he watched the precious potions flow into his storage cabinet and his beloved collection was emitting white smoke.
Snape was so heartbroken that he almost bled. These precious medicinal herbs were his dearest ones!
“Professor Snape, although the accident just now was caused by Finch-Fletchley and MacMillan’s improper operation, the real reason is actually the material limitations of the pewter crucible itself.” Ye Ting took the opportunity to interrupt.
As he spoke, he opened the lid of his crucible and threw all the porcupine quills that had been processed long ago into it!
“But my graphite crucible is different.” Ye Ting smiled proudly, “This crucible is a masterpiece of modern Muggle materials science. It is made of natural flake graphite. The price is similar to that of a pewter crucible, but its performance surpasses that of a pewter crucible in all aspects!”
“This graphite crucible is not only extremely corrosion-resistant and can withstand temperatures exceeding three thousand degrees, but its thermal conductivity is also far superior to that of a metal pewter crucible! When using it to brew potions, you can completely skip the step of removing the potion from the fire, without having to worry about any danger.”
In fact, Ye Ting didn’t say one more thing, that is, the graphite crucible also has special conductivity.
This crucible does not require traditional flame heating, but can be heated by electromagnetic induction like an induction cooker.
Compared with traditional flame heating, electromagnetic induction heating is not only more uniform, but also faster. Most importantly, it is more convenient for Ye Ting.
He only needs to use [Fingertip Thunderstorm] to easily complete the heating process of the crucible.
It can be said that the Graphite Crucible is perfectly suitable for the Rose Witch and can be regarded as Lisa’s selected product.
Snape looked down at the black crucible in front of him and found that everything was just as Ye Ting said. The light green liquid was boiling violently in the graphite crucible, but the inner wall of the crucible was still as good as new, without any change!
Moreover, since the heating was never interrupted during the brewing process, the temperature of this medicine was almost just right.
At this moment, in Ye Ting’s crucible, the light blue potion was taking shape at an astonishing speed. The entire brewing process took less than a quarter of the time that other young wizards theoretically took.
When the materials in the crucible were finally boiled into a transparent amber liquid, Snape finally nodded slightly.
He knew that Ye Ting had successfully brewed the potion, and its degree of completion even surpassed that of many professional potion makers.
This shows that his new experimental equipment is feasible.
Chapter 40 The Twins’ Request (Old Version)
“Those two idiots just now,” Snape turned around and shouted coldly, “You should be thankful that Mr. Ye successfully brewed the potion!”
“Give that idiot the potion Ye Ting brewed,” he continued to order, “With injuries like his, there’s no need to go to the school infirmary!”
Hearing Snape’s order, Justin and Ernie’s two roommates came forward immediately. After obtaining Ye Ting’s consent, they carefully took some potion from a glass bottle.
The effect was immediate. Almost as soon as the two drank the bottle of boil medicine, the redness and swelling on their bodies gradually subsided.
“Due to Mr. Ye’s outstanding performance, Ravenclaw will be awarded five extra points!” Snape announced the award to Ye Ting gloomily, and then left in a hurry.
Next, Snape seemed to vent all the anger he had suffered from Ye Ting on the other young wizards.
He paced slowly between the tables, commenting on each student’s work mercilessly.
Several pots of medicine have been scrapped due to such low pressure.
When his eyes fell on Lisa Dupin and Mandy Blohe’s pot of strange blue mixture, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
“Do you two think this potion is drinkable? Do you want to try a new flavor?”
Then, he turned to Oliver and Roger’s work and commented coldly: “If you drink this pot of potion, let alone cure hemorrhoids, I’m afraid it will make people grow more hemorrhoids!”
Snape found fault with almost every student’s work and then subjected them to his ridicule.
Until he walked to the first row and his eyes were fixed on the pot of crystal clear yellowish liquid in front of Susan.
His brows furrowed slightly, as if he was trying to find a flaw in this perfect work, but couldn’t find any.
“Not bad…” he admitted reluctantly, “Miss Bones, for your sake, give Hufflepuff two points!”
“That’s great!” Susan cheered softly and gave Ye Ting a hug with the ball.
“Thanks so much for your guidance!”
“That’s the result of your willingness to learn.”
Ye Ting appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually a little happy inside.
It would be better if there were more benefits like this.
Potions class finally ended.
But the news that Snape was speechless after being confronted by the little wizard in class spread quickly in Hogwarts like the Golden Snidget.
By dinner time, almost everyone knew about it.
Walking in the corridors of the campus, you can hear students’ excited discussions everywhere.
“Have you heard about the fairy I mean, about Snape?”
“What did you hear?”
“Professor Snape was speechless when he was in class by a Ravenclaw student!”
“Did you know?”
“Professor Snape was scolded by a little Ravenclaw wizard today, and he didn’t dare to say a word back!”
“Have you heard?”
“I heard it! Professor Snape was called autistic!”
The little wizard from Ravenclaw scolded Snape so much that he became autistic. The news spread quickly in Hogwarts like wildfire. As the core figure of this turmoil, Ye Ting naturally became the focus of everyone’s attention.
He is known as Professor Snape’s biggest nemesis!
On the first day of school, Ye Ting almost fell into the hands of Professor Snape. Many people were secretly watching the show, waiting for him to fall.
But who would have thought that not only did he not fall, but he also made Professor Snape lose face. He is truly the most ruthless person in Hogwarts!
That night, he received special treatment when he entered the auditorium.
The short walk from the door to the Ravenclaw table was as if he had walked on a star-studded avenue. His classmates stood up one after another, vying to shake his hand and greet him. It was as if they were welcoming a triumphant hero.
As he passed the Gryffindor table, Lee Jordan’s eyes lit up and he pulled him to his side.
The Weasley twins also came over. They enthusiastically handed Ye Ting a glass of pumpkin juice and raised their glasses, shouting, “Cheers to the hero of Hogwarts – Ye Ting! He taught a lesson to Professor Snape, the leader of the three evils of Hogwarts!”
The twins’ cheers rose one after another, attracting the attention of the surrounding young wizards. People who didn’t know the situation thought they had broken into the Death Eaters’ lair!
At the Gryffindor table, every face was filled with a long-lost smile.
Over the years, they have been bullied by Professor Snape.
Seven years. Do you know how they spent these seven years?
Watching Slytherin step on their heads and win the House Cup for seven consecutive years, all thanks to Snape’s unconditional favoritism.
Everyone forced Ye Ting to drink several gulps of pumpkin juice, and he finally recovered.
He smiled bitterly and said, “These are all rumors you spread, right?”
George patted Ye Ting on the shoulder and laughed, “Hey, brother, don’t worry about those rumors. The important thing is that everyone is happy now!”
Fred also said: “That’s right, finally someone can dampen the old bat’s arrogance, this is a good thing that makes people happy!”
Next, the two of them said a few nice words to Ye Ting, which made him feel something was wrong.
In the original book, the twins did not have this kind of personality.
He was secretly alert, wondering if they were planning to play some kind of prank on him.
But soon, the other party revealed his purpose.
“Um… Ye Ting, I heard that you used several Muggle-made potion equipment in the Potions class.”
George hesitated and said, “It’s about the same price as the crucible we use, but it’s much better and can reduce the time it takes to brew potions.”
“That’s true.” Ye Ting nodded, “But it’s called a graphite crucible. Not only does it have better thermal conductivity than a pewter crucible, but it can also withstand higher temperatures. In other words, the potion that was originally only simmered over low heat can now be boiled over high heat in a graphite crucible, and the time can be shortened several times.”
“Yes, yes, that’s it.” Fred looked at him expectantly, “Can we borrow it?”
“Well… I need to think about it.” Ye Ting thought for a moment and asked, “What do you need this for?”
He frowned. “As far as I know, all potions taught by Snape can be made with pewter crucibles. There is no need to change to graphite crucibles.”
“This is because…” Fred glanced at George.
The twins nodded simultaneously.
“This is because we need to do some research in private,” said Fred. “You may have heard that the two of us often play pranks in Hogwarts.”
Recently, we ve become interested in prank products, George continued. You should know Zonko s Joke Shop.
“Of course,” Ye Ting nodded, “I heard that it was a small shop selling toys and prank props – the Muggle world actually has similar prank props.”
“I’m glad you understand.” At this point, Fred lowered his voice, “We now want to study how these joke props are made.”
“Imagine if we can make these props ourselves, hehe,” George said with a twinkle in his eyes, “maybe we can even sell them to other students.”
Fred also looked expectant: “Yeah, maybe we can develop our own joke props in the future.”
Ye Ting knew that their dream had finally come true. In the original book, they did open a joke shop of their own, and it was much more popular than Zonko’s joke shop.
Chapter 41 PY Transaction (Old Version)
“Then… I guess you are in trouble.” Ye Ting thought for a moment and suddenly smiled, “and it is related to brewing magic potions.”
“That’s right.” George slapped his thigh, “We wanted to try to make the burping candy from Zonko’s Joke Shop. We guessed that the burping effect came from a ‘burping potion’, but we tried many times but failed.”
As he spoke, he took out a candy from his pocket and threw it into his mouth, and his face immediately wrinkled.
“It’s really… too bitter… hiccup…”
As soon as he finished speaking, he began to burp continuously, and each burp was crisp and loud.
Fred ate a candy as well, but after trying for a long time, he could only hold back a very small burp.
“That’s it,” he nodded to Ye Ting, “The candy we made either tasted too strong of medicine or had poor effects.”
Ye Ting expressed his understanding after hearing this: “Developing new products does require constant experimentation and adjustments. You have made great progress, so don’t lose heart.”
“You’re right…hiccup…brother!” George patted Ye Ting on the shoulder, happy that he understood. “But the only…hiccup…problem is…hiccup…the boiling time of the potion is…hiccup…too long. Every new…hiccup…formula…”
Seeing that George was hiccuping and couldn’t speak clearly, Ye Ting didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He took out his magic wand and pointed it at George.
“Stop the hiccups now!”
The spell worked immediately, and George’s hiccups stopped abruptly.
“…Phew, I feel much better. Thank you!” George breathed a sigh of relief.
“You actually know this spell,” Fred was shocked. “I remember that this spell is not learned until the fourth grade.”
“I have already learned the fourth-grade textbook.” Ye Ting shrugged.
“Awesome, you’re worthy of being a Ravenclaw student!” the twins praised in unison.
“Let’s get back to the point,” George continued. “Anyway, it takes a whole day to make the burp potion in a pewter cauldron, which is too slow for our research on burp candy.”
Fred took over the conversation: “So when we heard that your crucible could save several times the time, we thought of borrowing it from you.”
“If you agree, we will owe you a favor. If you need help in the future, we will never be stingy.” George vowed.
“It seems that you want to borrow it for a long time.” Ye Ting shook his head in embarrassment. “Sorry, if that’s the reason, I may not be able to lend you the crucible. I need it myself.”
Ye Ting also has many potion research projects of his own, so how could he lend the crucible to others?
I see.
“Sorry to bother you.”
Seeing the twins’ disappointed looks, Ye Ting’s heart moved, and he suddenly remembered the teleportation anchor point blueprint he obtained last night.
He looked at the twins again and had a plan in mind.
He smiled slightly and said, “…Actually, I bought this crucible in the Muggle world. If you need it, I can buy it for you this weekend.”
He glanced at the twins, “As long as you have a way to leave Hogwarts.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Fred and George’s eyes immediately lit up again.
“Of course, we certainly have a way to get you out of Hogwarts!” Fred said eagerly, “I know there are several secret passages in Hogwarts that lead directly to Hogsmeade.”
“That’s fine.”
Ye Ting nodded, “Then I’ll help you make the trip this weekend.”
“Great! You’re our savior!”
“Thank you, buddy!”
The two of them happily high-fived each other and thanked each other repeatedly.
“Nothing, we just traded with each other.” Ye Ting waved his hand, smiled calmly, and then said, “You guys said that you owe me a favor for this matter, does that still count?”
“Of course it counts!” Fred assured, patting his chest.
“Everyone knows that we two brothers are the most loyal.” George also said solemnly.
Ye Ting smiled slightly and took the opportunity to put forward his request: “That’s just right, I also need your help.”
“I need some rather precious magical materials, which are currently only found in Professor Snape’s medicine cabinet.”
It was only then that Ye Ting revealed his true purpose, “I plan to sneak into the Potions classroom tonight to get some, but I’m not sure I can avoid Snape.”
Then he looked at the twins and said, “I heard that you know everything about Hogwarts, even better than Professor Dumbledore! So, can you do me a favor?”
Fred burst into laughter and almost choked when he heard this.
George smiled and said, “Haha, Ye Ting, you are exaggerating. If we stay in Hogwarts for a few more years, we may reach this level, but we don’t dare to do that now.”
Fred blinked and said, “We are still learning humbly.”
“However, helping you sneak into the Potions classroom is more than enough for us.” George changed the subject, full of confidence.
“Then, what should I do?” Ye Ting looked at the two of them expectantly.
Fred pointed upstairs and said, “Tonight at twelve o’clock, go to the statue at the end of the corridor on the eighth floor.”
“All you have to do is move the statue and you’ll find a hidden entrance,” George explained.
“A secret passage?” Ye Ting was stunned. He did have a lot of information about the secret passages in Hogwarts in his memory, but he had no impression of this one.
“Maybe it was developed by Ravenclaw for the convenience of having midnight snacks.” Fred guessed.
“Anyway, you just need to get in and we’ll meet up down there!” George said finally.
The PY transaction between the two parties was thus reached.
Then, they separated.
“I didn’t expect that you’ve made so many friends in just one week at Hogwarts.” When Ye Ting returned to the Ravenclaw table, Zhang Qiu said with some envy.
As a Chinese, although she had many suitors, she did not make many friends – although racial discrimination was not serious in the wizarding world, subtle barriers still existed.
By the way, the reason why racial discrimination is not serious in the wizarding world is because everyone discriminates based on bloodline.
In the face of the conflict between purebloods and hempbloods, race is nothing more than that.
“If I say that we just met, would you believe me?”
“Then they are really interesting people.” Zhang Qiu laughed dryly twice.
This might be the unique enthusiasm of the Weasley family. As long as they have similar interests, they can quickly build close relationships.
For the rest of the night, Ye Ting behaved as usual:
I enjoyed dinner as usual, went to the library to read until closing time as usual, and returned to the dormitory to sleep as usual, as if the conversation with the Weasley brothers had never happened.
Until… at 11:50 pm, he opened his eyes in bed.
Chapter 42 Marauder’s Map (Old Version)
At this moment, Ye Ting’s roommates had fallen asleep, and the entire dormitory was immersed in the tranquility of the night. Only Linnet’s eyes were shining.
Ye Ting climbed out of bed, quickly put on his cloak, adjusted his nightcap, and walked towards the door with the cat.
Just as he was about to open the door, he thought for a moment, went back to his roommates, pulled out a bottle of water of life and death from his hat – it was a creation he made when practicing potions before school started – applied some, and gently put a few drops in front of each roommate’s nose.
Next, the evaporated water of life and death will be absorbed into their bodies. This amount is enough to ensure that they will sleep soundly for the entire night without waking up.
In this way, Ye Ting doesn’t have to worry about his roommates waking up and looking for him after he leaves, thus exposing his whereabouts.
Some things are better done more thoroughly.
“The statue on the eighth floor?”
With the help of the light from the rose lantern, Ye Ting soon appeared at the end of the corridor on time.
He looked at the stone guard in front of him who was twice as tall as him and fell silent.
It seems that Fred and George are really strong, otherwise how could they move such a large stone sculpture.
He tried to push the statue, but it only moved slightly.
Ye Ting gave up this non-magical behavior with a wry smile.
Get out of the way!
He raised his wand and pointed it at the stone guard.
In an instant, the statue seemed to come to life and slowly moved to the left, revealing a wall behind it that looked extremely solid.
However, Ye Ting could sense that this wall did not exist in reality, but was a specific illusion, exactly the same principle as King’s Station.
So Ye Ting went in.
Normally, if you walk step by step from the first floor to the eighth floor, it will take more than ten minutes even if everything goes smoothly.
But the secret passage saved Ye Ting a lot of time, and he reached his destination in just five minutes.
At the end of the secret passage, a wooden picture frame was blocking the place firmly.
Ye Ting stretched out his hand and pushed, then jumped out of the secret passage. Looking up, he saw an oil painting depicting sumptuous food hanging on the wall not far away… Ye Ting remembered that behind the painting was the kitchen of Hogwarts.
“Hey, kid, don’t forget to move me back!” A slightly displeased voice sounded behind Ye Ting.
It was the man in the frame, and he was obviously used to it.
“And dim the damn lights!”
“Oh, sorry.” Ye Ting hurriedly adjusted the output of magic power. The light of the rose lantern gradually converged, illuminating only the one-meter range around him.
Less than two minutes after restoring the oil painting to its original position, Ye Ting saw two mosaic figures running from a distance.
Then the mosaic disappeared and the Weasley twins appeared in his sight, one with empty hands and the other holding a jar.
“You just used the [Illusion Spell], right?” Ye Ting recognized their magic at a glance.
This kind of magic is not true invisibility, but it uses magic to simulate the surrounding environment, allowing people to blend into the background, like a chameleon, thus presenting a mosaic outline.
“That’s right!” the twins answered in unison.
“We’ve been training hard for the entire holiday,” said Fred proudly.
“So, how is the experience of this secret passage?” George asked.
“You haven’t even left yet?” Ye Ting looked at the Weasley brothers in astonishment. It seemed like he was being treated as a guinea pig?
“Hey, we don’t need this. After all, only you Ravenclaws live in the tower.” Fred explained quickly, “If you are hungry in the future, you can go down through this secret passage for a midnight snack.”
“This is our exclusive secret.” George laughed, looking quite proud. “Look at the dust in front of the statue. I bet this secret passage has been sealed for a long time and no one has used it.”
“Okay, what should we do next?” Ye Ting asked, “Just walk to the door of the Potions classroom?”
“No hurry.” Fred suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously, “Come on, let me show you something exciting!”
For some reason, Ye Ting felt that Fred was inexplicably disgusting at this moment.
The three of them gathered together, and Fred carefully took out his “big treasure” from his black robe.
It was an old, square piece of parchment, yellowed in appearance, and looked very old, with nothing on it.
George deliberately kept the secret: “This is not an ordinary parchment, but a magical item that can lead us to open the door to a new world.”
After hearing this, Ye Ting had roughly guessed what this parchment was.
Fred cleared his throat and raised his wand to point at the parchment.
“I solemnly swear that I am up to no good!”
As soon as he finished speaking, ink quickly spread out on the blank parchment like a silk thread, and a map composed of text appeared before everyone.
The map not only covers the entirety of Hogwarts Castle, but also takes in the lawns outside, the Quidditch pitch, and even touches on a small part of the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
The most amazing thing is that the map is densely covered with various names, some of which are clustered together, and some are still moving. Each name represents a living person in the castle.
It can be said that this is almost comparable to the small map in the game.
It is worthy of being called a live map.
The twins were very satisfied with Ye Ting’s eyes.
“Where did you get such a magical map?” Ye Ting asked.
Talking about this, George seemed to be lost in memory:
“I still remember when we were in the first grade, we were young, carefree, and a little naive…”
Ye Ting narrowed his eyes and looked Fred and George up and down, secretly wondering if they were naive.
“Hehe, don’t look at us like that. At least we are much more naive than you.” George defended, “When we were in the first year, we didn’t shock the Slytherins on the train, nor did we scold Snape in person until he became autistic…”
“Isn’t that your rumor?” Ye Ting reminded George.
“Well, it’s all the same anyway.” George waved his hand and continued to recall, “At that time, there was a little friction between us and Filch. We put a big dung ball in the corridor, and the old guy was very angry about it.”
“What happened next?” Ye Ting asked.
“Afterwards, he took us to his office and prepared to teach us a lesson.”
Fred said, “You know, the usual punishments – detention, trophies, that kind of thing.”
George added, “However, in his office, we noticed a drawer of a filing cabinet with the words ‘confiscated materials, highly dangerous’ written on it.”
“So…” Ye Ting also laughed.
“So, what would you do?” Fred said with a sly grin. “George used the same old trick and threw a dung bomb to attract Filch’s attention. And I took the opportunity to open the drawer and saw the treasure at a glance.”
Chapter 43: Night Visit to the Potions Classroom (Old Version)
“To be honest, it’s not that bad,”
George chuckled and continued, “We guess that old man Filch never used this parchment. Maybe he didn’t even know how to use it. However, he must have realized the value of this thing, otherwise he wouldn’t have confiscated it.”
“So, this map is a relic of a student.” Ye Ting asked knowingly.
That s about it. Fred nodded. The important thing is that this map not only marks all the secret passages in the castle, but also shows the location of everyone in the castle in real time.
“Look, for example right now,” George said, pointing to a name on the map, “Filch is hanging around on the fifth floor with his stupid cat following him around…”
“Meow ” Hearing this word, Linnet meowed in dissatisfaction.
Mrs. Norris is her younger sister.
Fred then noticed Linette beside Ye Ting and asked curiously, “You brought your cat with you on your night outing?”
“Linnet’s senses are much sharper than ours. Taking her with us on night trips can help us avoid a lot of trouble.” Ye Ting touched the cat’s head, “Besides, she is also particularly helpful for night trips.”
Then he pointed to the jar in George’s hand and said, “By the way, what else did you bring besides this map?”
George smiled mysteriously, “This is a gift we prepared ourselves.”
Gift?”
Ye Ting looked at the jar again. He could vaguely smell a strange smell from it, but it was not the smell of dung.
“You made this yourself? Who are you planning to give it to?”
Fred patted Ye Ting on the shoulder and said, “We just feel that we can’t lose to the first-year juniors in teasing the old bat.”
“So as the teachers’ most beloved students,” George declared proudly, “it is our responsibility to give our professors some special encouragement when they are in trouble. This is to express our deep gratitude, appreciation and feelings to the professors!”
Fred and George looked very proud.
If Ye Ting hadn’t known that Professor Snape had deducted ten points from them yesterday, he would have almost believed their lies.
After carefully confirming on the Marauder’s Map that there was no one around the Potions classroom, the three of them moved forward cautiously.
As they walked, they did not forget to entertain each other.
“Be careful, George, and don’t forget to cover your face.”
“Got it, Fred. Besides, don’t we know the Disillusionment Charm?”
“That thing is useless. Do you really think the old bat can’t notice it? Also, don’t call my name when you are wandering at night!”
Seeing the twins almost performing a “brotherly love” drama in the dungeon, Ye Ting raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and silently opened the jar that was to be given to Snape.
It was a large can of red paint.
“Haha, this is a special paint we made by ourselves. How’s our craftsmanship?” Fred proudly showed off their “masterpiece”. “It’s mixed with half a can of red ink and the Flobberworm slime donated by Hagrid.”
“I guarantee that Professor Snape will not be able to clear it out within a week.” George patted his chest confidently.
So, did they just throw paint, or were they planning to do some graffiti?
Ye Ting thought secretly.
“Oh, we have to hurry.” Fred stared at the Marauder’s Map in his hand, looking a little nervous. “Professor Snape is almost on the third floor!”
The three of them moved quickly and soon arrived at the door of the Potions classroom.
“Open the door!” Ye Ting waved his magic wand lightly, and the door of the classroom opened.
A cold breath blew towards me.
The Potions classroom is eerie even in broad daylight, and in the dead of night, the atmosphere is even more like a haunted house.
“Old Bat is now on the second floor,” Fred continued to provide real-time intelligence, “We have to complete the mission within two minutes!”
George sighed regretfully: “It seems that I don’t have time to draw. Fortunately, I brought a pen with me.”
“Ye Ting, how are you?” Fred turned to Ye Ting who had already walked to the locker, “Can you fix the lock on the locker door?”
“no problem.”
Ye Ting nodded, full of confidence.
“During class today, a pot of failed potion was accidentally poured onto the locker, contaminating a lot of the ingredients. Before Snape repaired this locker, he would definitely transfer those precious ingredients to a temporary locker. And the magic lock of that temporary locker -“
He paused, then pointed his wand gently at the cupboard.
” It’s much worse than the original one.”
As Ye Ting fiddled with the cabinet door twice, the cabinet opened with a creaky sound.
Ye Ting couldn’t wait to start searching.
“Let me see…hairy crab shells, fairy wings, two-horned beast bone meal, and moonstone…”
He took off his nightcap and carefully put these rare materials into the cap one by one.
These are the key materials for making teleportation anchors, and are some of the hardest to obtain.
As a system reward, the drawings Ye Ting obtained were modified according to the rules of the Harry Potter world, which means that all the required materials can be obtained in the Harry Potter world.
However, the manufacturing process of the teleportation anchor is extremely complicated and the materials required are quite rare.
When he first got the blueprint, Ye Ting was worried about how to collect all the materials.
Until he got the twins’ promise, he naturally thought of Snape.
Since the old bat enjoyed going against him so much, it only made sense for him to take a little revenge.
After an unknown amount of time, Fred’s alarm finally came: “Old Bat has reached the first floor and is about to enter the basement! We have to evacuate quickly!”
George quickly splashed the last bit of red paint on the blackboard, then looked at Ye Ting: “Let’s go! It will be too late if we don’t leave now!”
However, Ye Ting still maintained a leisurely attitude:
” I’m just a little bit away from finishing. I’ll be there soon.”
He was still filling his hat with feldspar – one of the most important materials needed for a teleportation anchor, used to store magic power, not only was it in high demand but was also extremely difficult to obtain.
He planned to take this opportunity to get more from Snape.
“Then hurry up! When you’re done, meet us at the portrait of the red-nosed witch in the corridor. There’s a secret passage there, too.”
After leaving a word, Fred and George cast the [Disillusionment Spell] on themselves, then left the classroom in a flash, not daring to stay.
As Snape’s footsteps got closer, Fred and George quickly hid in the corner of the corridor, not daring to breathe.
Just like they said, the inferior [Disillusionment Charm] he cast could only fool characters like Filch, and was not good enough in front of Snape.
The reason why he used the [Illusion Spell] was not to hide himself, but to make them believe that he was indeed hiding.
Now, they could only stare at the Marauder’s Map in their hands and closely follow the movements of Snape and Ye Ting.
Chapter 44 Secret Passage (Old Version)
George and Fred could see Snape’s name on the map slowly moving down, passing the stairs, moving along the corridor, and then turning… getting closer and closer to the Potions classroom.
But Ye Ting’s name remained in the classroom, motionless.
“Damn, what treasure is he looking for? Why is it taking so long?” Fred couldn’t help but complain in a low voice.
“We can’t go on like this. Sooner or later he’s going to be discovered, and then he’ll have to be put in solitary confinement for the entire weekend.” George saw this and was extremely anxious.
They don’t want to see the new friends they brought in get punished because of a momentary greed.
Finally, after their anxious wait, Ye Ting’s name finally began to move on the map.
However, Snape’s name was about to appear in the corridor where the Potions classroom was located.
“Damn it! If he goes out now, he will definitely be blocked by the old bat in the corridor.” Fred was completely panicked. “We have to help him.”
George immediately had an idea. “I can go to the next corridor and make some noise to attract Snape’s attention!”
He was about to take action when Fred suddenly said:
“No, wait, George, he moved. Maybe he can escape from the classroom before being discovered by Snape… Wait, why did he run to another corner of the Potions classroom? How many treasures are there in this damn classroom…”
Due to this delay, George completely lost the opportunity to make a move.
Before Ye Ting left the classroom, Snape had already appeared in the corridor.
It was not until this time that Ye Ting on the map seemed to come to his senses and finally decided to leave the Potions classroom.
However, he then walked out of the Potions classroom in a dignified manner, not taking Snape seriously at all.
Then, as expected, the two names bumped into each other in the corridor.
“Oh no! I’m afraid my junior won’t be able to escape this time.” The twins lamented in unison.
However, something shocking happened.
On the Marauder’s Map, the two names just passed each other by.
Meanwhile, down the corridor, they heard no more sound except Snape’s receding footsteps.
It was as if the two of them passing each other never happened.
This how is this possible?
“Did Snape not see him, or did he turn a blind eye and let him go?”
This scene was simply incomprehensible to the twins.
They had never seen anything like it.
“Could it be…” Fred glanced at George, “There is some unspeakable secret between this freshman and Snape?”
“No wonder Snape let him go so easily on the first day of school.” George seemed to have discovered something. “No wonder he dared to openly challenge Snape in the Potions class.”
“But that’s not right,” George discovered a new problem. “If they really have some special relationship, then why would he go to so much trouble to ask us to help him sneak into Snape’s classroom and steal materials? Can’t he just go to Snape directly?”
“I also remember that Junior Brother Ye Ting seemed to be an orphan.” Fred also thought of it.
Just when the two of them were daydreaming.
On the Marauder’s Map, Snape’s name passed by the Potions classroom and left.
And Ye Ting’s name was quickly approaching their location.
The two of them subconsciously looked up, but the corridor was empty and there was no sign of Ye Ting.
But on the map, Ye Ting’s name was almost in sight.
“What’s going on?”
This strange phenomenon made the two even more confused.
Until Ye Ting emerged from the void holding Linnite.
“No wonder you were able to pass by Snape without being noticed.” George whispered, “Your Disillusionment Charm is so powerful.”
“Tell us quickly, how did you do it?” Fred asked eagerly.
“Isn’t that the [Disillusionment Spell]?” Ye Ting shook his head, “That’s Linnet’s ability.”
He patted the cat in his arms, and Linnet snorted in dissatisfaction, then disappeared into thin air as the twins watched, and reappeared after a while.
“Merlin’s fattest big pants.” George couldn’t help but sigh, “Your cat turns out to be a magical creature!”
“I’ve said before that Linnitt is of great help for night travel.” Ye Ting scratched Linnitt’s belly.
The cat rolled over happily.
“That’s amazing.” Fred looked at the cat with burning eyes, as if he was looking at some rare treasure. “Next time we go on a night tour, can I borrow your cat?”
“You have to ask her about this kind of thing.” Ye Ting said indifferently, “She can make the decision on her own.”
So, the brothers looked at Linnet expectantly.
Linnet didn’t even look at them and rubbed Ye Ting’s chest coquettishly.
“I can’t help it.”
Ye Ting shrugged, “Let’s go, let’s leave here quickly before Professor Snape comes back.”
The twins nodded, then took Ye Ting to open the door of the secret passage and walked in.
Tonight’s night tour is thus declared over.
After breakfast the next day, Ye Ting, dressed neatly, brought Linette to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom to wait for the Weasley twins as agreed last night.
Then he saw that not far away, the twin brothers of the Weasley family were standing at the corner of the stairs, waving their arms at him and calling out loudly: “Hey, Ye Ting, come here!”
Ye Ting walked over and was pulled down the stairs by them.
“You came early today.” Fred smiled.
“After all, I have to go back to the Muggle world today,” Ye Ting shrugged, “It may take me a day or two.”
George noticed the change in Ye Ting’s attire and pointed at his collar curiously, “Did you change one of your buttons?”
The button on Ye Ting’s collar was replaced with a green gem.
The style of this gem is exactly the same as the one with the bow pendant on Linnet’s neck, except that the outer metal frame has changed from a centrally symmetrical wave pattern to three pairs of small wings.
“Hmm…I got it recently and just remembered to put it on today…Is this it?”
As they were talking, the three of them had arrived at the stairs to the third floor, where an ugly one-eyed witch statue came into view.
George pointed at the statue and said mysteriously, “This is it. The entrance is hidden behind the statue.”
“The spell is ‘Open quickly'” Fred whispered to Ye Ting, teaching him the trick.
“Open quickly!”
Ye Ting looked around and after making sure that no one was paying attention, he whispered the secret words and tapped the statue lightly with his wand.
The one-eyed witch’s hunchback slowly split open, revealing a narrow passage that was only wide enough for one person to pass through.
“Yes, that’s right.” George nodded. “The other end of the secret passage is connected to the Honeydukes warehouse in Hogsmeade. Be careful when you come out and don’t get discovered.”
“Well, buddy, I wish you a safe journey.” Fred patted Ye Ting on the shoulder.
“I’ll give it to you when Garlon comes back.” George also said.
“See you later.” Ye Ting waved his hand, then leaned over and crawled into the cave, then moved forward in the cave.
