Throughout the entire class, Lin Yue kept her eyes almost unblinkingly fixed on Professor Flitwick, memorizing every word he said. During the class, Professor Flitwick also openly praised Lin Yue, allowing everyone to observe her wand-waving movements and listen carefully to her pronunciation of the spells.

They even excitedly told everyone that Lin Yue had completed her charms learning for the academic year and could continue to study independently. The eager Ravenclaw eagles secretly geared up, rubbing their hands together, wanting to surpass Lin Yue.

At this age, it's completely normal for children to feel competitive when they hear the professor constantly praising Lin Yue and want to measure up to her. In contrast, the Hufflepuff badgers appeared much more laid-back. Their response to Professor Flitwick's praise for Lin Yue was simply to express some admiration, saying things like, "Wow, she's amazing," and "I really envy her brain; I wish I were that smart."

Then they continued to study at their own pace, unhurried. The badgers weren't in a rush, they believed that advanced learning was a Ravenclaw thing, while they preferred to enjoy good food! As long as they could pass their exams, that was enough for them.

Of course, while praising her, there were also those who noticed Lin Yue's precise, machine-like spell-casting gestures and her monotonous incantations. However, everyone thought this was just her habit, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

After the charms class ended, Lin Yue quickly packed her bag and was the first to rush out of the classroom, making her way to the auditorium as fast as she could, once again starting her eating method that resembled force-feeding.

By the time Professor Flitwick walked into the auditorium to have his meal, Lin Yue had already finished eating and left for the library.

As Professor Flitwick just sat down at his teacher's table, Professor McGonagall turned to look at him.

" Flitwick's, did you add the points for Ravenclaw this morning?"

"Yes," Professor Flitwick nodded happily, looking extremely pleased.

Professor McGonagall raised her eyebrows in surprise; she knew her colleague well. Despite his gentle temperament, he was usually quite calm, being a former duelling champion. To see Filius this happy...

"What’s going on? What could make you this happy?"

“Oh,” Professor Flitwick said with a smile, waving his hand, “If there’s a student that can successfully perform all the transformation spells you’re going to teach her this academic year before your first class, I think you would be just as happy.”

“She?” Professor McGonagall turned to look at the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff tables, as it was Filius's class for those two houses this morning, trying to figure out who the girl Filius was referring to.

“Oh, it’s Miss Lin Yue from our house,” Professor Flitwick said somewhat proudly, glancing at his own house table, “She is right…”

“Why isn’t she at the table?”

Hearing the name Lin Yue, Professor McGonagall was slightly taken aback. The reason was simple: the impression Lin Yue left on her during dinner yesterday was truly profound.

"Miss Lin Yue didn't come for lunch?" Professor Flitwick furrowed his brow and said with some concern.

Professor McGonagall looked towards the Ravenclaw long table, and some guesses began to form in her mind.

"I think you still remember the scene of Miss Lin Yue dining at the banquet yesterday, don't you, Filius?"

Professor Flitwick was reminded by Professor McGonagall and instantly recalled the matter he had pushed to the back of his mind.

It wasn't that he didn't care about his students; it was just that Lin Yue's excellence had made him forget about this matter concerning her as well.

"I think she must have finished her meal and left," Professor McGonagall speculated.

"Alright," Professor Flitwick nodded.

"This afternoon is the first Transfiguration class for Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, and I am really looking forward to Miss Lin Yue's performance."

"I hope she performs as well in Transfiguration as she did in Charms," Professor McGonagall said with a smile.

"You could try asking her to demonstrate for you," Professor Flitwick suggested to Professor McGonagall.

"I will," Professor McGonagall nodded.

Sitting in the center of the teacher's table, Professor Dumbledore quietly took a sip of pumpkin juice with double the sugar while listening to the conversation between his two colleagues.

Exceptional talent, the professor's praise... Well, he couldn't help but think of someone.

But it was still too early to think of him, after all, Miss Lin Yue had not yet reached the level he had back in his day, right?

However, what Dumbledore did not know was that it wouldn't be long before Lin Yue's performance would surpass that of the person he was thinking of from his own time.

At that moment, while being discussed by the two professors and "on Dumbledore's mind," what was Lin Yue doing in the library?

She was searching for the four books that Professor Flitwick had recommended she read. Her eyes quickly scanned the rows of books on the shelves, and before long, Lin Yue found the four books she needed.

Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

With a blank expression, Lin Yue completed the borrowing procedures for the books with Mrs. Pince. She stuffed three of the four books into her backpack.

The already bulging backpack became even more swollen in an instant, visibly heavy.

After putting on the backpack, Lin Yue walked briskly towards the Transfiguration classroom, seemingly unaware of its weight, while still glancing at the book she was holding.

Pushing open the door to the Transfiguration classroom, she found it empty; Hogwarts had a long break after lunch.

Of course, this break time didn't exist for Lin Yue. After finding a seat in the front row, she began to continue reading the book she had been looking at on the way.

Noon passed quickly, and Professor McGonagall arrived at the Transfiguration classroom before the class started.

Seeing Lin Yue already sitting in the front row reading, Professor McGonagall couldn't help but nod in appreciation. A child who loves to learn is liked by every teacher.

"Miss Lin Yue, good afternoon."

Hearing the sound, Lin Yue pulled herself out of her completely focused study state, stood up straight, and politely greeted Professor McGonagall.

"Good afternoon, Professor McGonagall."

Professor McGonagall gently nodded. Her attitude was always warm towards polite, sensible, and eager to learn good students.

"I heard Professor Flitwick mention your performance in the Charms class. Perhaps you wouldn't mind letting me know about your level of study in Transfiguration?"

"Of course, Professor McGonagall." Lin Yue spoke in a flat tone as she pulled her wand out of her pocket.

As Lin Yue demonstrated spells from the most basic Transfiguration spells to the highest difficulty ones for first years, Professor McGonagall's eyes sparkled more and more.

By the end, Professor McGonagall couldn't help but smile; just as Filius had said, this child could indeed be considered a genius.

Glancing at the book Lin Yue had placed on the table, Professor McGonagall immediately recognized it as a book Filius had set aside for Lin Yue to read.

Sticking to her principle of not falling behind in her own curriculum, Professor McGonagall smiled and said to Lin Yue, "Miss Lin Yue, would you like to learn Transfiguration in advance as well?"

Lin Yue did not hesitate at all and immediately nodded, "I’m willing, Professor McGonagall."

Professor McGonagall felt even greater joy in her heart. With a beaming smile, she wrote down the titles of three books on parchment and handed them to Lin Yue.

"You can take a look at these books in advance, but the Transfiguration spell can be quite dangerous. If you want to try it, it's best to have me nearby. You can come to my office anytime."

"My office is right next to the Gryffindor common room."

"Okay, thank you, Professor McGonagall." Lin Yue mechanically nodded, then turned and returned to her seat in the front row. Professor McGonagall nodded in satisfaction, not forgetting to award Ravenclaw an additional forty points. Since Filius had given this child forty points, she couldn't give any less. Thus, on the very first day of school, Ravenclaw received a total of eighty points, all from the same person. Similarly, in Transfiguration class, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students also received praise from Professor McGonagall for Lin Yue.

The students of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff expressed their envy unanimously... and after class, they spread the news of Lin Yue earning eighty points for Ravenclaw in just one day.

The other young wizards, who were already surprised at how quickly Ravenclaw's points had increased, were left dumbfounded after hearing this. They had also received points from the professors, but the professors had never been so generous!

In response, the professors stated that if they could master such a level as Lin Yue did in advance, they would definitely be just as generous when adding points.

Of course, such a request is clearly unlikely. Not to mention the young wizards from Muggle families, even those from pure-blood families only get their wands at the age of eleven.

Before that, they generally wouldn't learn any magic because they are still too young, and their magical abilities are not fully developed. Learning magic at that age would be akin to forcing growth.

Moreover, the eleven-year-old little wizard's magical power is still not fully developed; their magic is still weak and basically insufficient to support them in learning all the spells in the textbook in a short period of time. Only a few exceptionally talented wizards can, like Lin Yue, who seems to have a magical advantage, learn the entire first-year magic curriculum just by reading books, and even go further.

The eighty points that Lin Yue contributed to Ravenclaw made the little eagles extremely happy. So, during and after dinner, they wanted to chat with her and congratulate her. However, they sadly discovered that they could not find any opportunity to talk to Lin Yue at all.

During dinner, Lin Yue finished her meal in three and a half minutes, and in that time, the little eagles were too timid to approach her. After three and a half minutes, she got up and left, heading straight back to her dormitory to read, making it impossible to catch her.

Of course, Hermione also heard about Lin Yue being awarded eighty points in one day. After hearing about it, she looked at her plate and muttered to herself, "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh... eighty points, it seems I need to study a bit harder."

Sitting next to her, Neville silently shifted himself to the side upon hearing this.

When Cho Chang and Marietta returned to the dormitory, they saw Lin Yue sitting at the desk, reading.

Exchanging glances, both of them instinctively quieted their footsteps, trying not to disturb Lin Yue's studying.

Marietta cautiously glanced at Lin Yue, then walked over and sat on her friend Cho Chang's bed.

"Lin Yue's study state... is just too intense."

She hasn't come back to rest even at noon, and now after class in the evening, she continues to study without a break.

Cho Chang also lowered his voice and shook his head at Marietta.

"Not to mention, I got up to use the bathroom at three-thirty in the morning yesterday, and she was still studying at that time, can you believe it? Three-thirty in the morning!"

"Three-thirty in the morning?!" Marietta covered her mouth, stifling her surprise.

Cho Chang nodded vigorously.

"Oh Merlin, doesn't she sleep?"

"I asked her..." Cho Chang paused for a moment, "She said she goes to bed at four and gets up at five to study."

"Wow..." Marietta gasped, turning to look at Lin Yue with eyes that held not only admiration but also a hint of fear.

It's terrifying, this kind of relentless drive.

After chatting a bit more and exchanging their astonishment, Cho Changand Marietta returned to their desks to start studying.

There’s a reason why the little eagles of Ravenclaw excel academically; they truly spend most of their free time studying.

Of course, they can't be compared to Lin Yue...

After studying until eleven o'clock, Cho Changand Marietta finished their showers one after another, dried their hair, and lay down in bed to sleep.

Lin Yue still had the light on, reading, and she hadn't even changed her position.

She had already finished reading two of the four books that Professor Flitwick had given her.

The reason her pace had slowed down was that the content of these four books was indeed noticeably more difficult than the first-grade textbooks.

Lin Yue needed a certain amount of time to fully understand and master the material, but the length of time it took still left her feeling dissatisfied.

Or rather... she subconsciously felt that she should be dissatisfied. As for why she felt this way instinctively, that would be a question for those who instilled such thoughts in her...

After pinching her arm hard twice, leaving two bruises, Lin Yue expressionlessly opened the third book.

At four in the morning, Lin Yue closed her book on time. Before her designated sleep time, she finally finished reading the third book.

But still... it was too late. She raised her hand and pinched her arm hard again. Lin Yue took off her shoes and socks and lay down on the bed.

After falling asleep in a race against time, she, who had long lost her emotions and was extremely exhausted, couldn't even dream a single dream.

When an hour had passed, she opened her eyes.

After preparing everything, including showering and washing up, Lin Yue turned the light back on and continued reading the fourth book recommended to her by Professor Flitwick.
