Green flames rose in the fireplace, and a figure in a flowing black robe stepped out. An elderly man wearing a starry night robe lifted his head, his bright eyes gazing insightfully at the visitor.

“Ravenclaw, Lin Yue,” Professor Snape simply stated these two words.

Principal Dumbledore was taken aback for a moment, "Miss Lin Yue? What happened to her? Both Minerva and Filius have spoken highly of her."

"She is using occlumency," Professor Snape said, dragging out his words and speaking decisively.

" Occlumency?" Principal Dumbledore leaned forward, his hands crossed on the table, "A child so young can master the occlumency?"

"There is only this possibility. Her eyes are hollow and lifeless, and there is not even a hint of emotion on her face. Her level of occlumency is quite good."

Headmaster Dumbledore stood up and slowly paced around the office.

"Well, Severus, keep an eye on this child."

Professor Snape's mouth twitched slightly. "I thought you would have me keep a closer watch on that one, Potter."

"I will pay attention to Harry's safety, but we should be more concerned about those who might be a bit dangerous, shouldn't we?"

Principal Dumbledore stopped and looked down at Professor Snape from above his glasses. "You know, Severus, this is to protect Harry, and also to honor Lily's sacrifice."

Professor Snape's eyes flickered for a moment, then returned to their vacant state. He nodded absently, sprinkled a handful of Floo Powder into the fireplace, and stepped in. "I'll keep an eye on her," he said at the last moment before his figure disappeared.

After Snape left, Professor Dumbledore sat down alone in the chair behind his desk.

" Occlumency..." he murmured to himself, his head lowered. She had excellent academic performance, exceptional talent, and almost all the professors she had encountered liked her. Now, there was also the occlumency

Could it be another Tom? A hint of sharpness mixed with fatigue flashed in Professor Dumbledore's eyes.

The person speculated to possibly be the next Tom, Lin Yue, was currently looking at the three books recommended to her by Professor McGonagall.

The difficulty of Transfiguration was indeed greater than that of Charms, Lin Yue calmly assessed in her mind.

Until her bedtime, Lin Yue barely finished reading the three books and memorized all the content. As for mastering it thoroughly, it would probably take some more time. After adding three more bruises to her left arm, Lin Yue lay down on the bed fully clothed.

In the following days, Lin Yue continued to perform excellently, earning extra points from professors in every class. The first-year courses at Hogwarts were not many, so she spent a lot of time in the Hogwarts library. This made Professor Snape, who was observing her during his free time, feel somewhat bored. This little troll, well, he had to admit that Lin Yue might not actually be a troll.

This little girl spends all her free time in the library, and she doesn't have any selectivity when it comes to reading there. She starts from the first shelf, the first row, the first book, and goes through them one by one. She carefully flips through every page of each book, and even so, her reading speed far exceeds that of an average person. This inevitably makes Professor Snape doubt whether she is truly reading seriously.

However, after a few days of observation, he finally decided to give up on continuing to watch the little girl. It was meaningless; with that time, he might as well return to his office and brew a couple more potions. With that thought in mind, he turned around and left without hesitation, leaving only the trace of his black robe swirling at the corner outside the library.

As the curfew approached, Lin Yue closed the book, completed the borrowing process for the unfinished book with Madam. Pince, and quickly returned to his dormitory.

In the dormitory, Cho Chang and Marietta are having a pleasant conversation while taking a break from their homework. When they see Lin Yue come back, they pause to greet her briefly before continuing their chat. During these past few days of interaction, they have figured out that when Lin Yue is reading or studying, no external noise can distract her.

Unless you tap her on the shoulder or call her by her full name, she will ignore whatever you say.

Therefore, now Cho Chang and Marietta can finally chat happily in the dormitory again.

Sitting at the desk and opening a book, Lin Yue continues to read the part she didn't finish earlier.

Until Cho Chang and Marietta finished their bath and went to bed, she had not gotten up from her seat.

Exchanging a glance and sighing, Cho Chang and Marietta silently pulled up their bed curtains.

They had now realized that Lin Yue's so-called love for studying was not just a passion; it was as if studying was her life, even giving off the impression that studying was more important than her own life.

Tomorrow is Friday, and the weekend will soon be here. Perhaps by the weekend... Lin Yue will take a break, Cho Chang thought to herself as she adjusted her blanket. Of course, at that moment, he had no idea that Lin Yue would spend the entire weekend reading through an entire bookshelf's worth of books in the Hogwarts library.

After having breakfast, Lin Yue arrived at the greenhouse for her herbal medicine class with her backpack. She reached out and pulled the greenhouse door twice, but it didn't open.

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

With a blank expression, she withdrew her hand and stood quietly in place, as if frozen.

After a few seconds, she opened her backpack, took out her herbal medicine textbook, and began to review once again.

The little eagles and badgers that arrived later saw Lin Yue reading again, and they couldn't help but feel a flush on their faces. They thought to themselves, "She is so outstanding and works so hard, and we..." So, all the little wizards present quietly took out their herbology textbooks and began to read with their heads down.

All the students standing in front of the greenhouse were looking down at their books, which was quite a sight at Hogwarts. At least it was shocking enough for the Gryffindor lions and Slytherin snakes who were having their flying lesson on the nearby lawn.

"Merlin's library... it's one thing for Ravenclaw to love reading, but how come Hufflepuff does too?" Ron looked at the unusual scene of all the students in front of the greenhouse with disbelief.

Hermione next to him rolled her eyes without hesitation and retorted, "Maybe there are only a few people who don't like studying?"

Ron frowned in pain and shot back, "Well, at least I know you're not one of those few."

Harry, on the other hand, didn't have the time to join in on the conversation; he was busy curiously looking at the flying broomstick on the ground. He always felt that thing... gave him a familiar and comforting feeling.

After exchanging a few barbs, Hermione and Ron fell into silence. Hermione's gaze drifted past the other members of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, finally landing on Lin Yue at the front of the crowd.

Looking at the girl who was bowing her head and studying seriously like a stagnant pool, she always felt that the one who could inspire so many people to study at the same time must be Lin Yue.

Her thoughts didn't linger for long, as Madam. Hooch had already arrived on the lawn.

Since the little wizards generally had a great interest in flying lessons, everyone had already gathered even though the class hadn't started yet.

Madam. Hooch looked at the eager little wizards and blew her whistle sharply, deciding to start teaching them how to ride the flying broomstick ahead of schedule, to prevent any child from being unable to resist and fly up into the sky on their own.

"Everyone, stand next to the flying broomstick, place your hands on it, and then say, 'Up!'"

Following Madam. Hooch's instructions, Hermione stood next to a flying broomstick, placing her hand above it, and said clearly and distinctly, "Up." The broomstick remained motionless. Hermione took a deep breath and tried various tones. Finally, perhaps sensing her growing impatience, the broomstick obediently jumped up into her hand.

Looking at the flying broomstick in her hand, Hermione raised her eyebrows knowingly and said, "Well, it seems I have no talent for flying."

She didn't feel the least bit frustrated, after all, she didn't like flying anyway, a fact she had confirmed while reading related books.

Looking at the pictures in the books of wizards and witches flying on broomsticks, she was certain that she preferred to stay grounded.

"I'll count to three, and then take off when you hear my whistle."

Madam. Hooch finished speaking and began to count, but just as she finished counting and before she could blow the whistle, Neville wobbled and took off into the air, his entire face turning pale with fear.

He gripped his broomstick tightly, trembling nervously, as the broom carried him higher and higher. Despite Madam. Hooch's constant shouts for him to calm down and descend slowly, it was no use.

The young wizards present watched in terror, their ears ringing with Madam. Hooch's calls and Neville's terrified screams. The loud commotion attracted the little eagle and badger near the greenhouse door.

Closing the book and turning to look, the little eagle and the little badgers all widened their eyes in unison, while Lin Yue remained calm, still focused on the book as if she hadn't heard anything.

"Merlin! He’s going to fall!"

" Madam. Hooch is nearby; she should be able to save him, right..."

"I'm afraid not. In flying lessons, Madam Hooch doesn't carry a wand. Didn't you see that Madam Hooch can only stand there and watch?"

The young eagle and badger present were anxiously discussing with pale faces, but none of them had a solution. As they watched Neville fly higher and higher, even crashing into the walls of Hogwarts Castle, their gasps of surprise grew louder.

Finally, amidst the chaos, someone bumped into Lin Yue hard, causing her Herbology textbook to fall to the ground.

Bending down to pick up the book, Lin Yue turned around and happened to see Neville falling off his broomstick. Without any hesitation, she drew her wand and aimed it at Neville, her arm moving in sync with his descent, perfectly accurate.

"Wingardium Leviosa."

As the mechanical sound echoed, the Levitation Charm spanned the distance from the greenhouse door to the lawn, precisely halting Neville's fall and allowing him to float in mid-air. The wand slowly pointed to the ground, and Neville was gently lowered to the ground by Lin Yue's Levitation Charm. The little eagles and badgers present turned their heads back, their faces filled with expressions of wonder as they looked at Lin Yue. That was not a feather from the spell class, but a person of considerable weight, not to mention the significant distance between him and the ground, as well as the fact that he had just been falling rapidly.

But even so, Lin Yue was able to successfully and accurately cast a levitation spell on Neville, allowing him to land safely. At least for a first-year wizard, that was quite impressive.

With a blank expression, she retracted her wand, opened her book, and continued reading.

She wasn't worried about whether Neville was scared, nor was she concerned about whether he was hurt from hitting the wall earlier.

She was just acting on her instinct to help whenever she could when others were in danger. As for why she didn't help those students who were dragged away to be destroyed in front of her, it's quite simple. They were being destroyed because of regulations, and when regulations conflict with instinct, she should strictly adhere to the rules. Just like her mother and father told her, when her study time was delayed and her various grades did not reach full marks, she should punish herself.

Even though this conflicted with her instinct to avoid hurting herself, she still chose to follow her parents' rules, punishing herself time and again.

The little eagle and the little badgers, who were initially excited because Lin Yue had saved someone, were just about to cheer when they saw her calmly lowering her head to continue reading.

In an instant, they felt as if something was blocking their throats, and they couldn't make a sound.

They exchanged glances, and everyone present unanimously flipped open the books in their hands again, continuing to read. What else could they do…

They have calmed down over here, but things are lively over at Gryffindor and Slytherin.

Madam Hooch immediately stepped forward to help Neville, who had been placed on the ground by Lin Yue, and after warning everyone present, she took the clearly frightened Neville to the hospital wing.

Hermione and many other little lions and snakes stared in shock at Lin Yue, who was still reading with her head down in the distance.

Her magical abilities... are they really that strong? Hermione bit her lip, feeling a wave of anxiety in her heart.

Compared to her, am I just too inadequate? When you have a sufficiently excellent reference standard, you inevitably start to compare yourself to them.

At this moment, Hermione was doing just that. She took a deep breath and tightened her grip on the broomstick in her hand. She secretly decided that she needed to study harder, and it would be best to figure out how Lin Yue studied so that she could imitate her. No, perhaps she should study even harder than Lin Yue!

While her thoughts were swirling, Harry and Malfoy had already taken to the air, and Lin Yue walked into the greenhouse after Professor Sprout arrived.

Hermione watched Lin Yue enter the greenhouse and then turned her gaze to Harry and Malfoy, who were floating in mid-air. Meanwhile, Lin Yue had already taken her place in the front row of the Herbology classroom, looking calmly at Professor Sprout on the podium.
