Since the conversation with Professor McGonagall, Hermione has clearly changed her attitude and approach when dealing with Lin Yue. For example, now that Lin Yue has completed all her assignments, Hermione has shifted her gaze from her own unfinished work to look at her.

"Lin Yue, have you finished your homework?"

"Yeah, I finished it." Lin Yue nodded calmly.

"Then let's go for a walk by the lake and play with the giant squid that came ashore?"

Hermione looked at Lin Yue with bright, sparkling eyes, filled with anticipation.

Just as Lin Yue was about to say that her study time wasn't over yet, Ron spoke up first from across the table.

He stared at Hermione with disbelief, "Merlin's beard... did the sun rise in the west today? Hermione, you actually said you want to go for a walk? Instead of studying in the library?"

Hermione's brow twitched violently, and she shot Ron a fierce glare, "Shut up, Ron!"

"If you, Harry, had studied as much extra material as Lin Yue has by now, I would suggest you all go for a walk to take a break too!"

After saying that, she quickly turned her gaze back to Lin Yue, but it was already too late.

Lin Yue has already entered a state of study, and as someone who also loves learning, Hermione really couldn't bring herself to disturb her in this situation. She felt too guilty, so she could only shoot Ron a fierce glare once again, and even Harry sitting next to him didn't escape her wrath.

Innocently caught in the crossfire, Harry sat in his chair with his head down, feeling Hermione's gaze, and he instinctively didn't lift his head. He was really wronged... he hadn't said a word!

And so, the entire afternoon passed like this. On the way to the Great Hall for dinner, Hermione specifically told Lin Yue to go ahead and not wait for them.

Lin Yue nodded expressionlessly and quickly left for the Great Hall. As soon as she was gone, Hermione instantly changed her expression; the bright smile on her face turned into a grimace filled with anger.

She raised the heavy book in her hand and lightly tapped Ron on the head. There was no helping it; Ron was already... not very bright, and she was afraid of knocking him silly. But while she went easy on him physically, don’t expect her to go easy with her words.

"You really are... if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute, Ron!"

"Can't you see how hard Lin Yue is pushing herself to study? I finally found a moment to let her take a break, and you just had to mess it up!"

Seeing the anger on Hermione's face and thinking about how they had seen Lin Yue studying in the library every day for the past few days, Ron lowered his head in guilt.

"I'm sorry... I was just so surprised; I didn't expect it."

Hermione closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Forget it, let's find another opportunity."

Hearing Hermione say this, Ron quickly tried to make a good impression and raised his hand. "November, it's almost November, and then there will be Harry's first Quidditch match. We can invite Lin Yue to go watch it together."

Hermione slightly lowered her gaze, contemplating Ron's suggestion.

Quidditch matches... This is indeed a very popular sport in the wizarding world. The Quidditch matches held between the various houses at Hogwarts would be quite lively. Perhaps it could help Lin Yue feel some joy amidst all this excitement. According to Professor McGonagall, Lin Yue might not be emotionally sensitive because she has been studying without the opportunity to engage with the outside world, so I will take her to experience the outside world, and it will be a lively one that can help her feel emotions!

Yes! That's settled! Hermione secretly nodded to herself, and her lips couldn't help but curl up slightly. She nodded at Ron and praised him with satisfaction, "You finally came up with a good idea, Ron. This idea is great! We should take Lin Yue to watch the Quidditch match together."

After saying that, she turned around in a good mood and walked towards the dining hall for dinner. Ron, left behind, slowly turned his head to look at his good friend Harry.

"I don't feel like she was complimenting me...?"

Harry suppressed a laugh and cleared his throat, "Ahem, it's just a misunderstanding; she was complimenting you."

Ron squinted at Hermione's back, "Alright... I'll just take it as a compliment."

After saying that, he didn't dwell on it any longer and directly pulled Harry towards the dining hall, thinking that nothing was more important than eating. Why overthink when you could enjoy a couple of drumsticks instead!

Determined to drag Lin Yue along to watch the Quidditch match in November, which is just a couple of days away on Saturday, Hermione quickly finished her dinner and stood behind Harry and Ron, urging them to eat faster.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

Harry and Ron, pressured by her, had to speed up their eating once again, especially Ron, who was struggling to keep up with a drumsticks in each hand.

"What's with you, Hermione?" Ron swallowed the meat from his drumsticks, quickly took another bite, and said while chewing, "Why are you rushing us so much?"

Harry, with his mouth full of vegetable salad, finally found a moment to lift his head and, while chewing and covering his mouth, asked, "Yeah, why are you hurrying us even during dinner?"

Hermione turned to glance at Lin Yue, who had already finished dinner and left the hall, then turned back to Harry and Ron, speaking anxiously. "Didn't we just say we should invite Lin Yue to go watch the Quidditch match together? That's why I told you to eat quickly. Once you're done, before she starts studying, hurry up and let her know."

Harry and Ron exchanged a look and resignedly sped up their eating. After a few bites, they finished their meal, and Hermione pulled them up and ran out of the hall.

By the time they caught up with Lin Yue, she had already reached the entrance of the library. They only needed to take a few more steps, and she would sit down to start reading.

Hearing the heavy breathing behind her, Lin Yue's expression showed no change at all; she didn't even seem to have the intention of turning her head. She sat down and prepared to take a book out of her bag.

Seeing this, Hermione, unable to catch her breath, quickly spoke up, "Lin Yue..."

Hearing Hermione call her name, Lin Yue placed the book on the table and turned to look at Hermione, "What’s up?"

"In a couple of days... on Saturday, it's Harry's first Quidditch match. Come watch it with us."

As Hermione spoke, she also gave Harry two taps, signaling him to speak.

Prompted by her gesture, Harry quickly responded, "Ah, yes, yes, my first Quidditch match. I would be very happy if you, Lin Yue, could come to watch."

As he spoke, Harry displayed a sincere and radiant smile.

Lin Yue looked at Harry's smile, feeling completely indifferent inside. "Sorry, Saturday is still my study time..."

"Oh... Lin Yue," Hermione pouted, showing a pitiful expression, "Why don't you take some time to accompany me to watch Harry's match? It will definitely be more fun with you there, and Harry might perform even better!"

Interrupted by Hermione, Lin Yue closed her mouth. When Harry mentioned it, her brain had no reaction; she instinctively wanted to say that it was her study time.

However, when Hermione said she wanted someone to accompany her to that Quidditch match, Lin Yue's mind unexpectedly came up with a peculiar idea, just like when she found out that Hermione wanted to stop Harry from dueling and when she knew Hermione was in the girls' bathroom on the lower floor: to agree to her and go with her.

Even though doing this would reduce her study time, require her to compress her sleep later to make up for it, and punish herself for unnecessary entertainment activities, Lin Yue still had the idea of accompanying Hermione to the Quidditch match.

So, she didn't hesitate too much and nodded calmly, without any change in her expression, "Okay, I'll go with you on Saturday."

Hearing this, Hermione felt a wave of relief; great! Lin Yue finally agreed, and she would finally get a break from studying! Lin Yue withdrew her gaze, calmly sat down at her seat, and opened her book to read. After her excitement, Hermione tidied up her backpack and prepared to sit down and read as well, while Harry and Ron looked on with pained expressions. These past few days, they had been following Hermione around, and whenever they had free time, they would come to the library to find Lin Yue. When they arrived, it was all about doing homework, reading, previewing, and reviewing... they were almost on the verge of tears from studying so much.

She really couldn't focus on her studies anymore, as if she could feel the pained gazes of Harry and Ron. In a cheerful mood, Hermione looked up at the two of them, waved her hand, signaling that they could leave. Harry widened his eyes in surprise, pointing outside the library with his hand, asking if it meant he and Ron were allowed to go first. Hermione nodded affirmatively and waved her hand towards the library exit. Harry instantly felt as if a great weight had been lifted off his shoulders, and he grabbed Ron and hurried out of the library. The two of them needed to rush back to find Fred and George to get some fun things to play with for a while. After letting Harry and Ron go, Hermione turned her gaze back to her book. However, after a short while, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Lin Yue. Lin Yue, who was studying earnestly, exuded a serious aura that was very captivating, but for some reason, it also made Hermione feel...

Her studying was not enjoyable, even less so than when Harry and Ron were studying; it was as if her current studies were not something she was doing voluntarily. Instead, it felt like something was forcing her to study, keeping her in a constant state of seriousness. Shaking her head, Hermione dismissed her strange thoughts and focused seriously on her book again.

Two days later, on Saturday, Lin Yue quickly finished her breakfast at the Ravenclaw long table. Just when the Ravenclaws thought they would see the usual routine—Lin Yue finishing her breakfast and heading to the library to study, they were surprised to see Miss Granger from Gryffindor come over to their long table.

She was taken away directly, saying that she wanted to secure a good spot in the Quidditch stands. Moreover, Lin Yue allowed herself to be pulled away without any objections or resistance. The Ravenclaws immediately began to discuss; Lin Yue, who absolutely does not participate in anything other than studying, had already broken her own rules twice just for Miss Granger, based on what they knew.

Sitting at the dining table, Cho Chang and Marietta exchanged a glance. They understood better than anyone else, being dorm mates with Lin Yue, just how passionate she was about studying.

Her daily study hours were incredibly long, and she had maintained this routine for two months since the start of the school year. Now, she was actually being dragged by Miss Granger to watch a Quidditch match?!

Marietta, who wasn't particularly enthusiastic about Quidditch and had no intention of watching a match that wasn't for her own house, instantly changed her mind. After taking a couple of bites, she followed Cho Chang out of the hall towards the Quidditch pitch.

Meanwhile, the vast majority of the Ravenclaws also stood up to watch the match between Gryffindor and Slytherin. Not for any other reason, but to see how Lin Yue was watching the game on-site, and to see if she would be reading a book in the stands. At that moment, Lin Yue had already been pulled to the stands by Hermione. Sitting there, Lin Yue gazed calmly at the several high "hoops" in the distance.

According to what the book says, soon the chasers from both teams will need to throw the Quaffle into the opponent's "hoop" to score points. With no change in expression, she withdrew her gaze the stands were already completely filled. Besides the red of Gryffindor and the green of Slytherin, there was also a considerable amount of blue from Ravenclaw.

However, these little blue Ravenclaws were not focused on the players from the two competing houses about to take off, but rather on Lin Yue, who was sitting next to Hermione. When they saw that Lin Yue did not take out a book to read, the discussion among the Ravenclaws intensified instantly. Lin Yue, in such a situation, actually didn’t take out a book to read? It’s known that she can read while walking down the street!

Of course, the Ravenclaws surprise went unnoticed by Lin Yue; she was completely oblivious to what was happening around her. She simply stared blankly at the Quidditch players on the ground. As Madam Hooch's whistle blew, both teams of Quidditch players rose into the air, and the match began. Lin Yue's eyes closely followed the players from both sides, like a precise electronic eye, missing no details and showing no emotion.

After watching for a short while, she quickly noticed various fouls committed by the Slytherin team. Some were pointed out by Madam Hooch, while others went unnoticed even by her. Looking at the scene before her, Lin Yue felt that the Slytherin team was somewhat disregarding the rules, but she had no feelings of resentment; her heart remained completely calm. The shouts of anger from the Gryffindor students and the taunts from the Slytherin students did not shake her inner peace in any meaningful way.

While Hermione watched Harry's figure high in the air, she occasionally turned to look at Lin Yue. Seeing her still expressionless, with no emotion in her eyes, the pain in Hermione's heart began to spread again, and the little excitement she had felt from the Quidditch match quickly vanished. She bit her lip, looking at Lin Yue with a complex expression, but soon her attention had to be diverted. Hagrid, who was watching Harry's performance with binoculars, suddenly let out a gasp.
