As night fell, the Hogwarts Express came to a stop at the platform. Lin Yue listened expressionlessly to the announcement on the train. According to the announcement, it was fine to place her luggage on the train, but she should take her books with her. The time on the journey shouldn't be wasted; she could read while walking.

Holding the book, Lin Yue quietly followed the crowd as they walked off the train. As soon as she stepped off the train, a loud voice reached her ears. "First-year students, first-year students, come over here!"

Lin Yue turned her head towards the source of the sound, pondering calmly.

I haven't encountered magic yet; this is my first time at this school, so I am a first-year student.

As she approached the source of the sound, Lin Yue saw the person who had just spoken through a group of children her own age.

It was a figure much taller than an average person, and based on his physique, Lin Yue suspected that he might have gigantism. Retracting her gaze, Lin Yue opened the textbook in her hands, preparing to continue reading, but the completely dark environment around her made it impossible to see even a single letter.

Closing the textbook, Lin Yue silently thought to herself that she was going to waste more study time and needed to make up for it. She decided to shorten her sleep time a bit tonight.

"Alright, first-year students, follow me," Hagrid waved his hand and walked ahead to lead the way.

The entire path was dark, with not a single light, only Hagrid holding a lantern in his hand, and all the students stumbled along behind him.

Lin Yue also walked with some difficulty. When she followed Haige to the edge of the Black Lake and saw the small boats with their bows lit up, all the new students let out a sigh of relief.

"Four people per boat, everyone get on board," Hagrid shouted loudly, and then he climbed into a small boat himself. Lin Yue looked around at the small boats in a daze, casually walked onto one of them, and after sitting at the front of the boat, she opened a book to read by the light.

The three little wizards who boarded the boat later saw this scene and looked at each other, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

"Do we have to read books while taking the boat to school?! That's way too studious, right? This must be a Ravenclaw for sure!"

"Are you all seated? We're setting off now~"

Accompanied by Haige's voice, the small boat slowly moved across the Black Lake. Lin Yue was focused on the book in her hands, while the other three young wizards exchanged their names and talked about their experiences before coming to Hogwarts.

As for Lin Yue, who was on the same boat with them, she had been reading the whole time. They weren't sure if they should disturb her, so no one spoke to her along the way.

It wasn't until the small boat docked on the opposite shore that Lin Yue closed her book, lifted her head, and got off the boat, following Hagrid along with the new students to the entrance of Hogwarts Castle.

Knock, knock, knock. Hagrid raised his hand and knocked heavily three times on the door, and then the door was opened, letting in a bit of light.

A professor who looked very serious came to the door to welcome the new students, but Lin Yue didn't have any particular feelings about her.

After calmly glancing at her, she lowered her head again to read under the light, leaving the new students beside her in a daze. Hermione naturally noticed this scene as well; she looked at the girl, Lin Yue, who had made her feel a bit scared on the Hogwarts Express.

Lin Yue's face still showed no expression, and she continued to hold the textbook on transformation that she had just been reading on the train. However, it was clear that she had already finished it. In this situation, was she really not going to put the book down? Hermione silently wondered if she wasn't studying hard enough...

Following the crowd into Hogwarts, others were curiously observing the surroundings, occasionally exclaiming in wonder and happily chatting with their classmates beside them.

Lin Yue simply lifted her head, her gaze blankly scanning the surroundings before she lowered it again to read her book.

"Alright, everyone, welcome to Hogwarts," Professor McGonagall turned around and spoke loudly to the group of young wizards.

Her gaze paused when she saw Lin Yue; everyone else was looking around, but she was the only one with her head down reading, which was quite conspicuous. Moreover, this child... had a typical East Asian appearance, but she didn't recall any Eastern wizarding families having a child starting school this year.

Could it be from a Muggle family? Then it might be Sprout or Flitwick who came to guide them.

Retracting her gaze, she didn't have time to think too much. Facing the many young wizards, she introduced the four houses of Hogwarts and informed them about the points system for the House Cup, including how points could be earned or deducted.

As Lin Yue listened attentively to the four options and the introduction of the House Cup system, she raised her head seriously. It is important to listen carefully to what the teacher says, especially regarding school regulations. After Professor McGonagall's speech, Lin Yue lowered her head again and focused all her attention on her book. After giving a few instructions, Professor McGonagall left the room to prepare for the sorting of the new students. During this time, even the entrance of the ghosts and the argument between Harry and Malfoy couldn't distract Lin Yue from her book, as if they were not in the same world.

When Professor McGonagall returned, the students in the room instantly fell silent. Lin Yue followed her into the Hogwarts Great Hall without raising her head; their sorting ceremony was about to take place here. Occasionally, she could hear the exclamations of young wizards around her, but Lin Yue remained oblivious, her mind focused solely on the book in her hands, frantically trying to memorize the content. Among a group of curious little wizards looking around, there was one who was engrossed in reading, causing students from other years in the hall to exchange surprised whispers.

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

"Merlin above, she must be a Ravenclaw!"

"No way, it's almost time for the sorting and she's still reading. Even if I am a Ravenclaw, I never did that. This is making me doubt if I'm a real Ravenclaw."

One name after another passed by, and finally, Lin Yue heard Professor McGonagall's voice.

"Yue Lin."

Lin Yue slowly raised her head, closed the book in her hands, and walked stiffly and mechanically to the High Table, sitting down in the stool next to Professor McGonagall.

The Sorting Hat was placed on her head, covering her eyes and plunging her into darkness.

As she recalled the content from the book just moments ago, Lin Yue hurriedly etched the knowledge into her mind.

The Sorting Hat had never seen such a young wizard before. She put it on herself and showed no signs of nervousness or excitement at all.

She was even crazily memorizing knowledge in her mind? The Sorting Hat was puzzled, confused, and greatly shocked.

It didn't need to be thought any further; at this point, if she was still studying, where else could this child go?

She clearly could only go to "Ravenclaw!"

The Sorting Hat was lifted off Lin Yue's head by Professor McGonagall. Lin Yue stood up and, amidst the applause of the Ravenclaws, took her stiff steps to sit at the Ravenclaw table. She then seamlessly opened her textbook. This made Cho Chang, who was about to greet her and get to know this fellow Chinese student, quietly withdraw.

Well... it seems this junior, hmm, really loves studying...

After the Sorting Ceremony ended, Professor Dumbledore stood up and said something ambiguous. Lin Yue reflexively memorized this sentence, and then the feast began.

Looking at the abundant food on the table, Lin Yue showed no hesitation, quickly reached for the food with a knife and fork, and then ate it as fast as possible, swallowing it without much chewing.

The frantic actions scared the little eagles on the Ravenclaw long table quite a bit. Cho nervously swallowed and stared wide-eyed at Lin Yue. Marietta, with a dazed expression, nudged her friend, "Cho... is she really that hungry?"

"I think... maybe," Cho replied, nodding in confusion.

If the mealtime exceeds five minutes, it is squeezing into her study time. Lin Yue is very clear about this, but in fact, even during those five minutes, she is eating while reading.

While eating quickly, she also looked down at her book, resulting in her not even knowing what she had eaten. It didn't matter what she ate as long as she ate quickly, felt full, and it didn't affect her subsequent studying, that was enough.

In three minutes and fifty seconds, Lin Yue put down her knife and fork, finishing her whirlwind dinner. She picked up her book again, glanced through it a couple of times, then closed it and began to recite the content from memory.

Watching her stuff food into her stomach, many of the Ravenclaws had painful expressions as they clutched their own stomachs. Only Merlin knew that just watching her eat like that made them feel stomach aches; would she really not get sick or anything from it?

Watching her mumble to herself, Marietta couldn't help but be curious and leaned over Cho Chang to listen in on.

Immediately, she pulled her head back in shock, as Cho Chang, sitting next to Lin Yue, wore an expression of astonishment that mirrored her own.

"I think the top student in our grade this year... is pretty much guaranteed."

Marietta struggled to speak; she had just heard what Lin Yue was saying.

It was content from the Transfiguration textbook, and it was absolutely word-for-word identical to the book, because this girl had even memorized the page numbers!

Cho Chang nodded, gathered his courage, and reached out to poke the girl next to him on the shoulder.

"Can I still call you Lin Yue?"

Lin Yue stopped reciting and turned to look at Cho Chang, her eyes as still as dead water. "Sure, hello."

Her beautiful voice carried a mechanical emotion, and Cho Chang couldn't help but shrink back slightly, yet he still couldn't resist the tenderness deep within him and asked with concern.

"Don't you take a break? I mean, it's dinner time after all. You could eat a bit more, or enjoy some dessert later?" Lin Yue turned to glance at the food on the Ravenclaw long table before turning back.

"I've already finished dinner; the rest of the time is for studying."

"Do you always eat dinner this quickly?" Penelope, the Ravenclaw prefect, couldn't help but ask from a short distance away. Lin Yue shifted her gaze to the girl who spoke and replied in a calm tone.

"Dinner time is five minutes, and the rest of the time is for studying."

"Okay, fine..." Penelope nodded with a complicated expression, but didn't say much more.

The little eagles of Ravenclaw all love learning; perhaps this child just loves studying even more than the average little eagle.

Seeing that no one was talking to her anymore, Lin Yue continued to recite the content from the book from where she had just left off, word for word.

Cho Chang and Marietta exchanged glances and lowered their heads to continue eating their dinner.

At the teacher's table, Professor Flitwick, who was concerned about the students in his House while having dinner, was taken aback by Lin Yue, who was sitting up straight and murmuring to herself.

"Why isn't this child eating?"

Professor McGonagall, sitting next to him, had just witnessed Lin Yue's "crazy three minutes" and spoke with a slightly dazed tone.

"She has already finished eating."

"So fast!" Professor Flitwick exclaimed; his face was filled with shock. "That's not good for her stomach." He immediately began to worry about the student's health.

"I need to find time to talk to her," Professor Flitwick said, looking at Lin Yue's figure.

After Lin Yue completely recited the textbook on transformation magic, the dinner time finally came to an end.

Principal Dumbledore stood up to begin explaining some rules to the new students. Most of the new students listened attentively, but they didn't take it too seriously. After all, they were all kids in that age group, who didn't have a bit of a spirit of adventure?

However, Lin Yue strictly memorized these rules: the forbidden forest cannot be entered, going to the right side of the fourth-floor corridor could lead to death, and magic cannot be used in the corridor.

After memorizing these three pitifully rules, Lin Yue stood up and sang the school song along with everyone in a flat tone.

When Principal Dumbledore announced that the prefects would take everyone back to the dormitory to rest, Lin Yue froze in place.

Her study habits told her that it was not yet time to rest; she should be attending class or studying in the evening.

However, what Principal Dumbledore said as the headmaster should be obeyed.

So, she decided in her mind: to return to the dormitory and study by herself.

Following the Ravenclaw students back to the dormitory, Penelope, as the female prefect, began to lead the new female students to their respective rooms.

Bringing Lin Yue to the outside of a dormitory, Penelope looked at the expressionless, stiff-moving girl and bent down to make eye contact with her.

"This is your dormitory. I'm sorry, you are the only one who is alone among the new students, so you will have to share a room with Cho Chang and Marietta. Don't worry, they are both very easy to get along with."

Obeying the school's arrangements, Lin Yue had no other thoughts, so she nodded at Penelope and said, "Okay."

"Get some good rest," Penelope smiled at Lin Yue and turned head towards her dorm.

Lin Yue also turned and opened the door to go inside, where Cho Chang and Marietta were tidying up their things.

Seeing Lin Yue Walk in, Cho Chang gently waved at her.

"I’m still wondering who the new student assigned to our dorm will be. It's you, Lin Yue."

Lin Yue imitated her gesture, raised her hand, and waved, "Hello, everyone."

After saying that, she showed no other reaction and walked towards the only empty bed in the room to start organizing her things.

Cho Chang and Marietta exchanged glances, both starting to feel that this girl, Lin Yue... was a bit strange.
