Throughout the entire Christmas holiday, aside from completing her assignments and relaxing with Hermione and the others, Lin Yue was constantly reading the books in the Hogwarts library. Finally, halfway through the Christmas holiday, she returned the last book outside the restricted section to the shelf. Now, the only books she hadn't read in the entire Hogwarts library were those in the restricted section.

With a calm glance over the shelves in the restricted section, Lin Yue turned and walked out of the library with a light step. To read the books in the restricted section, she still needed to get a signature from Professor Flitwick first.

At the same time, Hermione, Cho Chang, Marietta, and Penelope were also busy. Under Penelope's guidance, the other three were learning the Patronus Charm together. This was something they had started doing from the very first day of the Christmas holiday.

In terms of learning the Patronus Charm, Hermione, Cho, and Marietta were making great progress, even exceptionally smooth progress. Their happy lives and favorable environments since childhood made it easy for them to select joyful memories. They could simply choose some ordinary happy memories, and all that was left was the determination to protect themselves and others, as well as to master the use of the Patronus Charm to conjure a corporeal Patronus.

"Expecto Patronum!"

Hermione waved her wand vigorously, tracing a specific trajectory in the air. A stream of white smoke emerged from her wand, forming something akin to a barrier in front of her.

Taking a deep breath, Hermione gripped her wand tightly, clearly feeling the drain of magic within her, yet she still tried her best to solidify the white mist.

"Ha..."

Exhaling heavily, Hermione helplessly lowered her wand. No matter how hard she persisted or increased the magical output from her wand, she couldn't make the white mist solidify even a little more. It floated thickly and hazily in front of her, but it just wouldn't take on a clear form.

"This is really frustrating..."

Hermione muttered softly, shaking her wrist. Penelope, who had just finished instructing Cho Chang, walked over and playfully tapped her on the head.

"Don't be so hard on yourself, Your learning speed is already quite fast."

As Penelope spoke, she turned to glance at Cho Chang and Marietta, who had also put down their wands, wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and looked over at them.

"How many adult wizards can't even perform the Patronus Charm? Just in the Ministry of Magic, I dare say at least half of them can't do this spell."

Penelope shrugged as she spoke, a hint of pride unconsciously showing on her face for her three junior sisters.

"So, you should understand how rare it is that you’ve reached this level after just a week of practice, right?"

"But," Hermione took a big bite of the chocolate from her pocket, "it seems like everyone in Ravenclaw knows the Patronus Charm?"

"Well," Penelope raised an eyebrow, "that's because most people in Ravenclaw are very interested in spells, so basically everyone starts learning the Patronus Charm in their fourth year."

"With a year of practice," Penelope held up a finger, "you can basically master the Patronus Charm."

"However, based on my judgment, I think you three won't need a whole year."

"Sigh... especially you," she said, reaching out to ruffle Hermione's hair, "you really have an enviable magical talent."

Cho Chang and Marietta nodded vigorously in agreement, Merlin knew how hard they worked to keep up with Hermione's pace.

Her talent was truly remarkable; she could conjure white mist on her first attempt, and each subsequent attempt made the mist thicker and more solid. Among the students they had seen, only Lin Yue's magical talent could rival Hermione's.

Facing the praise from her seniors, Hermione smiled shyly and raised her hand to scratch her cheek. The urgency she felt inside gradually dissipated. Yes, she couldn't just focus on Lin Yue; she also shouldn't push herself too hard.

Maybe it wasn't the best thing to say, but... in front of them, there was still Professor Dumbledore and the professors.

With them around, the sky above the little wizards wouldn't collapse.

"Professor Flitwick, I'm sorry to disturb you. May I come in?"

Lin Yue stood at the door of Professor Flitwick's office, raised her hand, and gently knocked on the door, then quietly waited at the entrance.

This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.

In just a few seconds, the door in front of her opened, and Professor Flitwick looked up at her with a gentle smile. "Welcome, Miss Lin Yue, please come in."

As he spoke, he stepped aside to let her in, and Lin Yue walked into his office.

"Please have a seat," Professor Flitwick gestured to the sofa nearby.

"Thank you, Professor Flitwick," Lin Yue politely nodded in gratitude and sat down on the sofa.

"Would you like some juice?"

Professor Flitwick waved his wand, and a glass of juice appeared on the table in front of Lin Yue.

After thanking him, Lin Yue took a big sip of the juice. After reading for so long without drinking any water, she was indeed a bit thirsty.

"You've come to see me because you've finished reading all the books in the Hogwarts Library except for the restricted section?"

"Yes, Professor Flitwick," Lin Yue put down the juice and nodded, "so I would like to ask you for a signature to access the restricted section."

"Well, of course, that's no problem."

Professor Flitwick smiled and nodded, walked to his desk, opened a drawer, and took out a note to hand to Lin Yue.

Seeing Professor Flitwick directly pull out the note, Lin Yue was slightly taken aback. Had he prepared this for her in advance? But shouldn't the books in the Restricted Section require her to ask the professor for permission to read a specific one? How could Professor Flitwick have known which book she wanted to read?

These thoughts flashed quickly through Lin Yue's mind as she regained her composure and took the note. She solemnly thanked Professor Flitwick and then looked down at the note.

The note did not indicate which book she was allowed to read; instead, it was signed by Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Professor Sprout, and even Professor Snape, along with several other Hogwarts professors. It detailed that all of her professors, including the headmaster, agreed to allow her to read the books in the Restricted Section, with no additional restrictions whatsoever.

"Professor Flitwick..."

Lin Yue raised her head in a daze, tilting it as she looked at Professor Flitwick. She wanted to say that this might not comply with Hogwarts' rules.

Flitwick shook his head, interrupting her. "Miss Lin Yue, your learning ability is unprecedented, and your character is evident to us."

"Of course, we professors trust you. Go ahead and read those books as you wish; you will be just fine, won't you?"

Looking at Professor Flitwick's encouraging smile, Lin Yue tucked the note away. "Yes, I will be just fine, Professor Flitwick."

Some dark magic books can subtly confuse a person's mind, but she was confident she would be careful not to be influenced, Lin Yue thought to herself.

"Very good," Professor Flitwick said, waving his arm in encouragement. "But you must also be careful; reading should not cut into your leisure and rest time. Otherwise, we professors might have to reconsider that note."

"I will remember, thank you, Professor Flitwick."

Lin Yue nodded expressionlessly, seriously agreeing to Professor Flitwick's words. Even if she couldn't keep up with her own studies, Hermione would pull her along. After getting the professors' signatures, Lin Yue went straight back to the Ravenclaw common room. Hermione and the older students should have completed today's practice plan, and according to their agreement, she needed to return and spend some relaxation time with them.

Upon returning to the dormitory, she indeed saw Hermione, Cho Chang, Marietta, and Penelope, who had just taken a shower, sitting together and chatting about something. Hearing the sound of the door opening, the four girls turned their heads simultaneously. When they saw Lin Yue had returned, Hermione cheerfully stood up and ran over to hug her waist.

"The white mist I conjured today has become a bit more solid, but unfortunately, I still haven't managed to produce a corporeal Patronus." Lin Yue instinctively mirrored Hermione's action and hugged her back, shaking her head. "Hermione, there's no need to rush. Your learning speed is already very fast."

"Yeah, I'm not in a hurry," Hermione nuzzled into Lin Yue's neck, enjoying the moment with her eyes squinted in delight. "Have you finished reading all the books outside the Restricted Section?"

As Hermione asked the question, the three older students' gazes on Lin Yue became noticeably brighter. They had long known that Lin Yue was about to finish reading all the books outside the Hogwarts Library's Restricted Section, and they had been looking forward to this day.

It's worth noting that in the past few decades, or even the past century, they had never heard of anyone finishing all the books in the Hogwarts Library. If Lin Yue succeeded, she would be the first person to do so in nearly a hundred years!

"I've finished reading them."

Lin Yue stated the facts in a completely emotionless voice.

"That's amazing!"

Hermione exclaimed, realizing that she no longer had the desire to compete with Lin Yue academically like she did in her first year.

There was simply no comparison; Hermione was absolutely willing to admit that Lin Yue was stronger in her studies.

Moreover, she believed that they would have plenty of opportunities to compare themselves in other areas in the future.

"I think maybe we should hold a celebration within Ravenclaw for this?"

Cho Chang turned to Penelope, the female prefect, to seek her opinion.

Penelope nodded without hesitation, "Of course, you make a great point. I'll start preparing for it right away. Once the Christmas holiday is over and everyone is back, we'll hold this celebration."

Lin Yue blinked and spoke expressionlessly, "I'm just reading books. Is it really necessary to hold a celebration for this...?"

She wasn't quite sure; studying was something she was supposed to do as a student. Should they really celebrate it?

"What are you talking about?" Marietta got up and poked Lin Yue's forehead. "You finished all the books in the Hogwarts library! You're the first person to do that in a hundred years, do you understand what 'first' means?"

"I understand."

Lin Yue nodded with a bland expression, and Marietta sighed helplessly, muttering under her breath, "I don't think you really get it..."

Sure enough, the next moment Lin Yue suddenly added, "But I haven't finished yet; I still have the restricted section books to read."

"Pfft," Hermione was both amused and exasperated, gently pulling Lin Yue's cheeks to the sides. "Don't worry about those details. Just enjoy the celebration when the Christmas holiday is over."

"Oh."

Lin Yue nodded obediently, indicating that she understood.

So during dinner that evening, the Ravenclaws who chose to stay at Hogwarts all listened to Penelope talk about this matter.

The Ravenclaws were all brightened by the news; being book lovers and learners, they were filled with enthusiasm about it, congratulating Lin Yue one after another at the long table.

This left Lin Yue a bit puzzled; she had merely done what she was supposed to do, so why were they congratulating her so warmly? Even when she had previously mastered the entire industrial chain of the British magical world, no one had congratulated her.

By the time the Christmas holiday ended and all the Ravenclaws knew about the news, the atmosphere at Ravenclaw reached a climax. Everyone was very excited, and a grand celebration was clearly a must.

However, before that, the members of the Ravenclaw quidditch team still needed to prepare well for the match against the Gryffindor quidditch team.

Swallowing the sausage in her mouth, Cho Chang watched as Harry took back his Firebolt from Professor McGonagall.

"It seems that I will soon be facing Harry on his Firebolt," Cho Chang said, wiping her mouth, her movements still elegant and calm, showing no signs of nervousness.

"Are you confident?" Marietta kindly handed her a tissue.

Cho Chang smiled as she took the tissue and wiped her hands. "Harry is excellent, but I'm not bad either. I will do my best."

Lin Yue picked up her cup and took a sip of pumpkin juice, her eyes slowly moving towards the area above the Great Hall where owls came and went.

The things she ordered should have arrived today, right?

A few minutes later, flocks of owls flapped their wings as they approached the Hogwarts Great Hall.

The sound of flapping wings made all the little wizards look up. What was going on this morning? Why were there so many owls?

Before they could think more about it, the flocks of owls coordinated with each other to drag several long packages into the hall, quickly reaching the Ravenclaw table, and then they all released their claws in unison.

Bang! Bang! Bang! ... With each sound, a tightly wrapped long package was thrown in front of each member of the Ravenclaw quidditch team.

"What is this? Cho Chang, did you order this?"

Marietta curiously leaned over, examining the long rectangular package in front of Cho Chang.

"It’s not something I ordered... but I feel like I should know what it is, or rather, what they are."

Cho Chang swallowed hard, looked at the long rectangular package in front of him, then glanced at the same type of package in front of the other team members, and finally shifted his gaze to Lin Yue, who was feeding a large group of owls.
