Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 25 You're such a little genius!

"Jerry?"

Just a dozen minutes after Jerry closed his eyes to rest, a somewhat surprised voice suddenly came from not far away.

He slowly opened his eyes and turned his head to look outside the private room.

A little girl with fluffy hair, dressed in a simple knit sweater and jeans, was struggling to drag a large suitcase, standing in the aisle with a slightly surprised expression.

It was Hermione Granger, the little witch I'd met briefly in Diagon Alley before.

"Ms. Granger, we meet again!"

Jerry greeted Hermione with a smile, then his eyes lit up, and he stood up to take the box from her.

"There are still seats available, please sit here!"

"Thanks!"

Seeing Jerry casually place the heavy suitcase on the shelf above the private room, Hermione quickly thanked him.

As a young wizard born into a Muggle family, Hermione left her parents and embarked on her studies at the mysterious Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry alone. On the surface, she appeared very strong, and even often used a slightly arrogant tone to disguise herself, but deep down, she was also filled with trepidation and fear.

After all, she was only eleven years old.

Although she will be twelve years old in eighteen days, at twelve she is still just a little girl who is going on a long trip alone for the first time.

At that moment, on the train to Hogwarts, she met the only wizard of her age whom she knew, which suddenly calmed her anxious heart.

Hermione's strong-willed and proud personality, along with her outstanding academic performance, not only resulted in her having very few friends at Hogwarts, but also almost no friends at Muggle primary school.

Jerry is currently the only person she feels comfortable chatting with and who is suitable to be a friend.

"Wow, what a beautiful cat! Is it your pet?"

When Hermione sat down and saw Crookshank lying in the seat snoring, her eyes instantly turned into hearts.

That expression seemed to say:

"This...this is exactly the cat of my dreams!"

"pretty?"

Jerry glanced at Crookshan's face, which looked as if it had hit a wall, and his lips twitched slightly.

It must be admitted that Crookshank is a very good cat. It is extremely self-reliant and hardly needs Jerry to worry about anything. It can even solve its own eating problems most of the time, and sometimes it will even bring Jerry a little something.

Moreover, it is very smart and never poops in the room.

But if you say it's beautiful, Jerry really can't agree.

It can only be said that people's aesthetic sense is not the same, just like the Bull Terrier (which looks like Sun Xilei), the Chihuahua (which looks like an alien), and the Cornish Rex cat (which looks like Lord Beerus).

These pets are considered quite ugly by the general public, but many people still think they look very cool.

So, everyone has their own preferences, and Hermione is just really into Crookshanks' looks, there's nothing that can be done about it.

"Here you go, Miss Granger, didn't you buy a pet?"

Jerry picked up Crookshank, who was sleeping soundly, and handed him to Hermione.

Hermione quickly and gently took it and hugged it in her arms.

Disturbed, Crookshanks shook his beard in annoyance, but feeling the kindness in Hermione's heart, he peacefully drifted back to sleep.

"Just call me Hermione. When I went to the bookstore, besides the necessary textbooks, I also bought a lot of extra magic books, so I didn't have any extra money to buy a pet!"

Hermione replied with a hint of regret as she gently stroked Crook Mountain.

"That's so Hermioney's answer!"

To become a top student, Hermione not only possesses a talent that is difficult for ordinary wizards to match, but also a level of diligence and effort that most wizards her age do not have.

"So, Hermione, you must have already learned quite a bit about magic beforehand?"

Jerry's tone carried a hint of praise.

Hermione immediately raised her chin proudly:

"Of course! I not only memorized all the first-grade textbooks, but I also tried several spells at home, and they all worked. I also read 'A History of Modern Magic,' 'The Rise and Fall of Dark Magic,' and 'Important Magical Events of the 20th Century.'"

"Wow, you're such a little genius!"

Upon hearing this, Jerry couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.

His words were not sarcastic, but a genuine compliment from the bottom of his heart.

Putting everything else aside, just the fact that he could memorize all the textbooks in a month shows a memory that is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Jerry did memorize the textbooks for four courses, but that was entirely due to the "energizing" function on the control panel.

You should know that when I was in school in my previous life, let alone previewing and memorizing the textbooks for the next semester, even reviewing and memorizing the ancient poems and classical Chinese texts I had already learned in the previous semester during the two months of summer vacation was not an easy task.

Although Hermione was very happy to be praised by Jerry twice, her face turned slightly red.

After all, they're young, and it's easy to feel a little embarrassed when they're constantly being praised!

With Hermione's arrival, Jerry stopped keeping his eyes closed and started chatting happily with her.

Of course, the main topic of conversation was mostly about various magical knowledge from the textbooks.

Although Jerry used the "enhanced mind" ability to memorize several books, including "Magic Theory" and "Standard Spells, Beginner," and even learned all the first-year spells, he was definitely much more proficient in using them than Hermione.

However, that doesn't mean he has completely mastered all the content in the textbook.

It's like a modern person suddenly getting hold of an ancient book written entirely in classical Chinese. Even if they memorize all the contents and can roughly understand what story it tells through their own comprehension, it's still a great story.

In reality, I only understood the general idea. Without professional guidance and explanation, I simply couldn't understand many of the details.

Moreover, even with the same book and the same content, different people may not necessarily understand the same things after reading it.

Some people read "Journey to the West" for its story of Tang Sanzang and his four disciples' perilous journey to the Western Paradise to obtain Buddhist scriptures, while others see it for its spirit of daring to challenge the shackles of feudal hierarchy.

Others see the power struggles and intrigues hidden behind various events, the sage's calculations using heaven and earth as a chessboard and all things as chess pieces.

And the human relationships and worldly wisdom contained within, where "every sentence is about the affairs of gods and immortals, yet everywhere one can see the utilitarian and worldly heart."

However, some people simply saw monkeys and various beautiful female demons and queens.

Therefore, people need to communicate and learn from each other in order to be inclusive and make progress together.

With Hermione's talent, she taught herself most of the spells and read a lot of magic books in just one month before school started. She must have her own unique insights into magic. How could you not gain anything from exchanging ideas with her?

That's why Jerry offered Hermione his private box earlier.
