Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Hermione couldn't help asking, "Mom, you and Dad have never asked anything of me. Are you too confident in me? Aren't you worried that I might learn bad things?"

Ms. Granger smiled and patted Hermione's head, "You have been full of curiosity for knowledge since you were a child. You can sit with a book for a whole day. You never caused us any trouble when you were little.

But when you grew up, your father and I began to reflect on whether you were too quiet, after all, other children were very lively and active.

During that time, your father and I were very worried, thinking that we were not doing our job well as parents, which led to your quiet personality. "

Ms. Granger was lost in her memories.

"But after we carefully observed you for a while, we found that you were very happy when you were studying. This happiness was much greater than when you ran out to play. So your father and I were relieved."

She came back to her senses and said, "Hermione, you have been very sensible since you were a child, and you hardly ever worry us. Even if you didn't choose a British school but went to a magic academy, we didn't worry that you would be unhappy.

Precisely because you set high standards for yourself, your father and I hope that you can relax a little, be a little more willful, and do whatever you want.

Other children need discipline, but what we ask of you is that you can be happier. "

Hermione's father is a dentist, so she has never had to worry about food and clothing since she was a child. Moreover, because of her parents' open-minded views on raising children, she has not been subject to many restrictions since she was a child.

Hermione was very grateful to her parents for their indulgence in her studies. Because they did not interfere with her studies, she was able to learn some advanced content at an early age.

If she encounters knowledge that she cannot understand and her parents don't understand it either, her parents will use their connections to find some professors to answer her questions.

For example, even if she chose a magic school, when she returned to the Muggle world during the winter and summer vacations, if she wanted to take middle school courses, her parents would try their best to hire a private teacher for her.

Under her mother's loving gaze, Hermione slowly expressed her worries.

“I have been stuck in a study for a long time, and I think working in isolation will delay my learning progress, but I really want to solve those problems quickly.

There are two methods before me. One is to study by myself, but relying solely on self-study will make me a little lazy and my learning efficiency will be very slow.

Second, I took the initiative to seek help from some professors, but the professors might refuse to answer and even kick me out.

And if I go to the professor, I might run into some trouble, and I don’t want to get into that trouble.”

Ms. Granger listened quietly to her daughter's chatter, smiling and not interrupting.

After Hermione finished speaking, she looked eagerly at her mother, and then Ms. Granger said gently:
"Hermione, when you asked these questions, you already had the answers in your heart, didn't you?"

Hermione was stunned. No one knows a daughter better than her mother, and her mother's words revealed what she was thinking.

After a while, Hermione lowered her eyes, clenched her fists slightly, and murmured: "But I'm really afraid of trouble..."

Ms. Granger held her in her arms lovingly, "I believe you will be brave enough to make the decision you want, Hermione. You are never afraid of difficulties. I will always be proud of you."

At this moment, Hermione had made a decision in her heart.

After her mother left, she locked herself in the room, took out a pen and paper, and wrote down where was the nearest place from her home to the magical world?
"Seeking help from the magic bus like Harry did? No, Harry can find the magic bus in his place, but I may not be able to find it here.

I have done many things over and over again on this day, but I have not seen the Magic Bus once. It will not come."

Hermione put an x ​​behind the thought.

She listed several more locations, including Hogwarts, Diagon Alley, and even Knockturn Alley, where dark wizards often hid, and Draco's manor.

She brainstormed a list of all the places she knew in the wizarding world.

Finally she decided to go to Diagon Alley first.

Ever since she returned home, she has been stuck in a time loop and has no idea how the Ministry of Magic will subsequently explain the Death Eaters' attack on Hogsmeade village.

But she believed that this was a premeditated terrorist attack and the Ministry of Magic would definitely take it seriously.

Hogwarts, which is very close to Hogsmeade village, will definitely be under martial law for a period of time.

If she chose to go to Hogwarts, she might not get what she wanted, and there was a high possibility that she wouldn't be able to get in at all.

She chose Diagon Alley because there were also many wizards there, some of whom had a good relationship with her. She could seek help from these mature wizards first.

Even if they can't help her, they can seek help from others through their connections.

Hermione listed several ways to get to Diagon Alley, one of which was the way the professor had taken her before, which required going to the Leaky Cauldron first.

But Hermione still felt that the journey was too far. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind and she thought of the Floo Network!

Hermione quickly went to look in a cabinet in the room.

She remembered using the Floo Network once and being very interested in Floo powder, so she secretly kept some.

I’m thinking of using it for research in the future to see if I can invent a more convenient and quicker way of using it.

But because she was too busy with studies at school, she spent all her free time helping Lin Xia with experiments, and she had not finished the research project she was currently on, so she had no energy to start a new one.

So she took the Floo powder back home, planning to study it during the holidays.

After a while, Hermione took out a bag of white powder wrapped in paper, and a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes.

"Found it, it's just the right amount to use once!"

Using Floo powder, she could head to the nearest fireplace and use the Floo Network to get to Diagon Alley.

Hermione listed all the wizards she knew in Diagon Alley and wondered which wizard to seek help from.

Finally, her eyes fell on Ollivander.

This wand-making family, which has been passed down for many years, has extensive connections and often customizes wands for the nobles in the wizarding world.

If she could get his help, she should be able to quickly advance in learning those spells.

Mikel played a catfish effect in the test group. After a few days of involution, all the professors were extremely satisfied with him.

Because of the professor's favor, he was praised every time and stimulated other evaluators. Mikel felt the aura of the protagonist for the first time in a long time.

Moreover, because he had gained the favor of these professors, he found that the tasks issued by the system became more frequent and it became easier to gain experience points.

Mikkel thought, "Could it be that I have been on the wrong path before, and gaining the favor of those professors in the school has made it easier to trigger events, as the saying goes, more friends, more paths?"

Although he had never seen these professors in school, he believed that anyone who could be a professor at Hogwarts was not simple, whether in public or in secret.

Since involution can gain so much favorability, we should definitely work hard to do so.

Mikel, who came from the Celestial Empire in his previous life, might be afraid of everything in this magical world, but the thing he fears least is curling.

After all, the Chinese people have been curled up since they were young.

Also because of his internal circulation, his reputation was spread unknowingly.

Some assessors knew that Mikel was in the same grade as Ron and Harry, and asked them privately during their free time. "I know there is a Miss Know-It-All in your grade, but I've never heard of such a person. Is she too low-key?"

Ron and Harry looked at each other and were equally surprised at Mikel's recent performance.

They lived in the same dormitory and knew that Mikel would occasionally study late.

But during that period, it was close to the final exams, and everyone studied late and was cramming.

So it is natural for Mikel to work hard in everyone's eyes.

This time Mikel was so introverted, and they also saw another side of him.

Ron said, "He is quite famous in our class. He has been praised by teachers frequently this semester and was even named an outstanding student. However, his reputation has not spread to other colleges."

The student who came to inquire about him said, “If I had known that he was so hardworking, I would have recommended him to the professor earlier.

By the way, didn’t you ever think of recommending Miss Know-It-All before? "

This student’s idea is that if there are such competitive and smart students around, the efficiency can be improved sooner, and they, the ordinary students, won’t have to work so hard to catch up with the efficiency.

Harry wondered why he hadn't thought of asking Hermione. Ever since Ron joined the project, he had been bothering Hermione every day for a while, hoping that Hermione could join in.

Because Ron felt that Hermione was smart and could come up with more imaginative and constructive suggestions than he did.

But Hermione lost interest when she heard Ron say that they were only doing knowledge level test games for lower grades.

Hermione said to Ron, "I have a good foundation and don't need to go over it again. What I need more is to acquire advanced knowledge.

If I were asked to evaluate a knowledge game for senior grades, I might be a little interested.”

Ron gave up after being ruthlessly rejected by Hermione.

But it was impossible to tell other students these words, so Harry said: "We also want to recommend her, but she is not a retention student."

"Well, that's a shame!"

After the wizard left, Harry spoke quietly to Ron.

"Why did you just say something nice about Mikel? I thought you always hated him."

Ron shrugged, "I really dislike him, but he has changed a lot recently, and the way he looks at us is much more sincere.

Moreover, we brought him in to relieve some pressure on the evaluation team, so it is only right for me to say a few good words for him. "

Harry nodded and agreed: "Mikel has changed a lot recently. It seems that under the stimulation of the life-and-death crisis, his personality has changed a lot."

Mikel didn't know that the protagonists had quietly changed their opinion of him.

He was immersed in the assessment of the knowledge-breaking game and had to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in one day. This did not make him feel bored, but happy.

He wanted to lay the basics again and had the intention of learning everything again. With the help of the knowledge level-breaking game, his review was accelerated.

He feels extremely satisfied swimming in the ocean of knowledge every day.

Mikel's schedule was packed. He was the first one to arrive at the laboratory, but also the last one to leave.

I don't know how many days passed, but he didn't even care about the passage of time.

One day, he was suddenly called by other professors during an experiment. Mikel thought that the professor wanted to discuss with him some ways to improve the game.

Unfortunately, he could do nothing to help.

He has already used up all the ink in his brain from his previous life, and now this version of the knowledge-based game is not much different from the learning-aiding games from his previous life, and it is even more exquisite and cooler.

But when he arrived at the office, he saw Professor McGonagall.

Mikkel was slightly startled and asked, "Professor McGonagall, do you want me to test the Transfiguration game?"

He pondered, "The mini-games I'm currently testing include Ancient Magic Rune and Defense Against the Dark Arts. I don't have time to test Transfiguration, but I've almost finished testing the lower-level Ancient Magic Rune, so I can switch to Transfiguration..."

McGonagall looked at him with satisfaction and interrupted his mumbling. "I'm not looking for you about the test, but about another matter. The compensation from the Ministry of Magic has come down."

She believed that it was because Mikel was so focused on his studies that he revealed his true character, was not afraid in front of her, and dared to express his ideas.

Professor McGonagall likes such a studious student, no matter whether he is smart or not.

Whether you can learn it is a question of talent, but whether you are willing to learn is a question of attitude. No professor will dislike students with a good attitude.

Mikel's expression changed slightly, and looking at the faint smile on Professor McGonagall's lips, he couldn't help but look forward to it.

"Professor, what compensation did the Ministry of Magic give?"

"The Ministry of Magic has decided to compensate you with an intermediate-level rare item and give you three more chances to read the forbidden book. At the same time, they will also compensate you with a generous amount of materials to resist the evil god's whispers, ensuring that you will not be affected in any way when reading the forbidden book."

"Reading banned books?"

A hint of doubt flashed across Mick's eyes. "Can't we study this banned book once we get the approval slip? Why do we need to pay a special quota?"

He had just become an excellent student and did not know that this banned book was not that banned book. He also had only a vague understanding of the confrontation between the evil god world and the magic world, and a lot of information was obtained from the system.

However, he lacked experience and had low authority in the system, so all he could get was superficial information.

Professor Mike said: "This banned book is not what you think it is. It can help you obtain advanced knowledge that is more suitable for you, and it can also allow you to learn very quickly, but it will be disturbed by the evil god's whispers, increasing the risk of corruption.

This time I came to see you, I also brought you the badge of outstanding students. When the new semester starts, the school will hold a ceremony to commend outstanding students, but I think you should want to get this badge in advance. "

Mikel nodded repeatedly.

He felt a little excited, as if the veil of the magical world had finally been lifted for him.

"The exploration of the badge of outstanding students, as well as more specific information about the banned books, will become clear after you use the badge."

Mag didn't plan to say more, so as not to waste Mikel's evaluation time.

"I heard from other professors about your learning attitude. You're doing well. Keep it up."

[Professor McGonagall's impression +10]

This sentence suddenly floated over the system panel, and Mikel's spirits were greatly boosted. He said in a loud voice: "I will continue to work hard, Professor!"
