Although it felt a bit strange, Cho Chang and Marietta thought that the younger student was just a bit introverted, which was why she wasn't very enthusiastic about talking and greeting them.
So after tidying up their beds, the two of them took turns going to the bathroom to shower and then went to bed.
At first, they even wanted to check on the younger student and ask Lin Yue if she wanted to shower first and get some rest early.
After all, the first day of school for first-year students is always the most exciting, and the mental exhaustion is also the greatest, so it's even more important to get a good rest.
However, when they finished packing their things and saw Lin Yue, who had taken her books out and placed them on the table, with her backpack beside her, sitting down to read, the two of them tacitly swallowed their questions and looked at Lin Yue's simple, even somewhat shabby, desk and bed.
Cho Chang and Marietta couldn't help but turn to look at the table where their photo frames, calendar, and alarm clock were placed, as well as the bed where their dolls were kept, falling into a subtle silence.
In contrast to the rich inner thoughts of Cho Chang and Marietta, Lin Yue showed no signs of emotional fluctuation.
Organizing things also takes time, so she never prepared extra items for herself. Although the suitcase given to her by the HP world consciousness quite a few desktop decorations and cute figurines, she looked at them with a singular thought in her mind.
They might affect my study time, so she naturally didn't take those things out, but instead stuffed the suitcase under the bed. Then she sat down at her desk with her History of Magic textbook and started reading, subconsciously ignoring the sound of water splashing in her ears.
After taking a shower and drying her hair, Cho Chang blinked at Lin Yue, who was still sitting at the desk reading, and then turned to her friend Marietta.
"Has she... been reading the whole time?"
Marietta, who had also dried her hair, nodded while hugging her teddy bear, "Yes, and she has already finished the History of Magic textbook and started on the Potions class."
"Oh Merlin..." Cho Chang sighed, turning back to look at Lin Yue.
This younger student really loves studying; she is definitely going to be the top of the grade this year.
Quietly pulling the bed curtains, the two beds of Cho Chang and Marietta were instantly shrouded in darkness. Closing their eyes, they soon fell into a deep sleep.
Lin Yue, who was still reading, did not notice that her two roommates had already gone to bed. It wasn't until she finished the Potions textbook and set it aside, preparing to switch to the Herbology textbook, that she realized her roommates were already in bed.
Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.
Lowering her gaze, Lin Yue raised her hand to check the watch on her wrist. To better manage her study time, she had specifically prepared a watch for herself. This was also the only "accessory" she owned.
At twelve-thirty in the morning, it was still far from her bedtime, so Lin Yue turned back and picked up the Herbology textbook to continue studying.
Whether others study or not has nothing to do with her, just like she can calmly watch armed personnel drag students needing to be destroyed out of those homes, and even calmly allow the armed personnel to drag her away. She only knows that she should study hard and cherish every moment of learning time.
Turning the page of her book, Lin Yue quickly memorized the content on it.
After a nap, Cho Chang was awakened by a sudden urge to urinate. Sitting up and rubbing her eyes, she froze the moment she pulled back the curtain of her bed.
The lights in the dormitory were still on, and Lin Yue was still sitting at her desk reading. Each person's bed curtain in the dormitory was enchanted, capable of blocking out external light and sound to ensure everyone could rest.
So before pulling back the bed curtain, Cho Chang had no idea and didn't think that Lin Yue was still reading; she assumed Lin Yue had already gone to sleep!
With a look of shock, she picked up the alarm clock next to her and glanced at the time, and her astonishment immediately intensified.
Three-thirty in the morning?! Lin Yue was still reading at three-thirty in the morning!
Cho Chang swallowed hard, got out of bed, slipped on her slippers, and walked over to Lin Yue.
Lin Yue sensed someone nearby, but since the other person didn't speak, she felt she couldn't stop studying. So, she continued to read as if she hadn't seen anything.
"Lin Yue... Are you too nervous? Why are you still not resting it’s so late?"
Hearing Cho Chang's question, Lin Yue put the book down on the table and turned around to look at her expressionlessly.
"This is my normal study time; it's not yet time for me to sleep."
Cho Chang's eyes widened in disbelief at Lin Yue's response. "Normal study time?! It's not time for you to sleep yet? Then what time do you go to bed?"
"Four o'clock," Lin Yue replied in a flat tone.
"Four o'clock?!" Cho Chang exclaimed, "So you only sleep for four hours?"
Hogwarts starts its first class at nine o'clock, so most students usually get up at eight to go to the Great Hall for breakfast.
Lin Yue calmly denied Cho Chang's guess about her sleep schedule.
"No, my sleep time is from four to five o'clock, just enough to meet my body's basic needs."
"That can't possibly be enough!" Cho Chang felt like she was going crazy listening to her talk about her sleep schedule.
Only one hour of sleep every day?! It's a miracle that Lin Yue has grown up this way!
"Don't... don't you feel tired during the day?"
"I'm not tired," Lin Yue shook her head and then stated a fact, "I won't get tired."
Cho Chang pursed her lips, "You..."
Although she wanted to persuade her about something, looking at Lin Yue's expressionless face and considering that they weren't too familiar with each other yet, Cho Chang ultimately gave up on her advice.
She could only worryingly remind her, "Don't push yourself too hard, get some rest early."
Turning around, she walked into the restroom to use the toilet. After finishing, Cho Chang returned to her bed, pulled the curtain closed, and went to sleep.
However, in the dream that followed, she seemed to dream of a person with an unclear face. This person was waving a magic wand behind her and shouting loudly, "Sleeping so long every day! Are you a pig?! Get up and study, hurry!"
The level of horror was so intense that even Cho Chang, a Ravenclaw who loved studying, couldn't help but shiver in his dreams.
It wasn't until four in the morning that Lin Yue finally closed her book, took off her shoes while still dressed, and lay down on her bed. Although she didn't feel sleepy after closing her eyes, her body, which had been in a state of extreme fatigue, immediately fell asleep as soon as she shut her eyes.
Just an hour later, her biological clock woke her up on time.
Quickly getting out of bed, Lin Yue grabbed a change of clothes from the foot of her bed and headed straight to the bathroom to take a refreshing shower before going out for her early study session.
