Getting Nicknamed, Shocking Everyone

Hermione's eyes widened in astonishment as she watched Filch being held captive by the two suits of iron armor controlled by Lin Yue.

As she ran wildly behind Harry and the others, Hermione couldn't help but glance at Lin Yue repeatedly.

No matter how powerful Lin Yue's Magic was, she was still just a first-year student at Hogwarts.

Her Levitation Charm wouldn't last long once she lost control, so after struggling for a minute, Filch broke free from the two suits of iron armor that had restrained him.

At this moment, Hermione was pointing her Wand at the locked wooden door in front of them and chanting a spell. Once the door opened, she pulled Lin Yue inside and ran in. Harry, Ron, and Neville followed closely behind, shutting the door with a bang.

Filch, who had hurried after them, only glanced in their direction. Seeing no one, he went off in another direction to pursue them.

Perhaps it was due to Headmaster Dumbledore's warning at the start of the term that kept him from daring to come this way.

Looking at the three-headed dog in front of them, Lin Yue finally understood why Headmaster Dumbledore had said this was a restricted area.

Without the slightest trace of fear, Lin Yue calmly watched the dog's three heads drool at the five of them.

Hermione finally breathed a sigh of relief after realizing they had finally shaken off Filch. However, before she could fully relax, her breath caught again as she turned around.

"Merlin..." Hermione murmured softly, feeling as though she must be having a terrible nightmare.

Hearing her voice, Harry, Ron, and Neville also turned their heads simultaneously. As they looked at the three-headed dog before them, they were once again stunned into silence.

Screams of terror erupted. Everyone except Lin Yue let out a high-pitched shriek, making Lin Yue seem incredibly out of place.

Lin Yue stared expressionlessly at the three-headed dog, her hand gripping her Wand subconsciously tightening.

The next moment, the three-headed dog began to growl, and Hermione, grabbing Lin Yue, ran out quickly, with Harry and the others following close behind.

Clearly, compared to death, they would rather face Filch!

Lin Yue followed Hermione's footsteps, running swiftly. They reached the Gryffindor common room without any obstacles.

The ease of their journey would have surprised Hermione if she hadn't been in a state of extreme panic.

Once they finally ran into the Gryffindor common room, everyone present, except for Hermione, finally came to their senses and noticed an extra Ravenclaw in their group.

"You're... that Ravenclaw study maniac!" Ron pointed at Lin Yue and blurted out without thinking.

"Ron Weasley!" Lin Yue showed no reaction to his words, but Hermione couldn't help but explode.

"Where's your politeness?!" she reprimanded Ron unceremoniously.

Ron was taken aback and realized he had spoken without thinking and that it was indeed impolite.

However, he still muttered a little indignantly, "It's not like I said anything wrong."

Hermione rolled her eyes unceremoniously before turning to look at Lin Yue.

"So, you asked me about Harry and the others' dueling time and place at the library earlier because you were going too? Why?"

Lin Yue looked at Hermione with an unperturbed expression, her voice devoid of any fluctuation as she replied, "I don't know, I just went."

Hermione sighed helplessly. "Alright, regardless, thank you. Otherwise, we might have been caught by Filch."

"You're welcome." Lin Yue shook her head and turned towards the entrance of the Gryffindor common room.

"Where are you going?" Hermione asked instinctively as Lin Yue left.

Lin Yue turned back and replied matter-of-factly, "Back to Ravenclaw."

"Oh, right, you... you do need to go back to Ravenclaw." Hermione raised her hand to smooth her hair, her cheeks flushing slightly with embarrassment.

Lin Yue nodded and walked out of the Gryffindor common room.

On her way back to the Ravenclaw tower, Lin Yue replayed the events of the evening in her mind.

Sneaking out past curfew, using Magic in the corridor, attacking a school staff member, and entering a restricted area – that was a total of four rule violations.

Apart from the first one, for which she had already punished herself, she would have to pay the price for the other three.

Glancing at her left arm, Lin Yue estimated that she wouldn't be able to use it for a day or two.

Back in her dormitory, Qiuzhang and Marietta were still fast asleep, completely unaware that their fellow dormmate had been out.

Lin Yue glanced at her watch and then sat down at her desk to read intently.

Study time hadn't ended yet; she should seize the opportunity to continue her studies.

Only when study time was over did Lin Yue close the book in front of her.

She stood up, took off her shoes, and sat on her bed, slowly unbuttoning her wizard robe and the shirt underneath.

Her left arm was gradually exposed. It was supposed to be fair and delicate.

Now, her upper arm and forearm presented a stark contrast. Her forearm remained normal, but her upper arm was covered in bruises, finger marks, so dark in some places that they were almost black.

Assessing the impact of her immobilized left arm on her studies, Lin Yue decisively shifted her focus and began to work on her forearm.

Studying first; she couldn't let this delay her studies.

She gripped her left forearm with her right hand and twisted it forcefully. The piercing pain struck again. Without even frowning, Lin Yue began the second, then the third twist.

Only after completing the three missing twists did Lin Yue release her right hand, breathing heavily.

Sweat beaded on her forehead from the pain, yet her expression remained unchanged.

Looking at her left forearm, which also bore three bruises, Lin Yue reached for her shirt to put it on, but couldn't help but collapse onto her pillow.

Her previous study habits had already been overdrawing her body, and on top of that, her journey the previous night had left her exhausted. After forcing herself to study for a few more hours, her body finally shut down.

Unfortunately, Lin Yue's body had been shut down for less than an hour before her own consciousness forced it back online.

Opening her exceptionally heavy eyelids, Lin Yue instinctively checked her watch. After confirming she hadn't overslept, she sat up, grabbed a change of clothes, and headed into the washroom.

After a shower, her mind slowly cleared. She casually dried her wet hair and, letting it remain damp, sat down at her desk to continue reading.

By 7:30 AM, Lin Yue went to the Great Hall for breakfast before returning to the dormitory to continue studying.

In contrast, Hermione, Harry, Ron, and Neville were still sleeping in their respective dormitories. They had been quite busy last night and truly needed to catch up on sleep this morning.

While they were sleeping in, Qiuzhang and Marietta finally got up around 10 AM.

After getting out of bed, the first thing Qiuzhang saw when she pulled back her bed curtains was Lin Yue's back as she sat at her desk.

Covering her face with her hand, she was truly impressed with her junior schoolmate. She wasn't even resting on the weekend.

Shaking her head inwardly, Qiuzhang got up, stretched, and walked into the washroom to freshen up.

Marietta, who had woken up on her bed, was also stunned when she pulled back her curtains and saw Lin Yue sitting at her desk.

She looked at Qiuzhang with disbelief, even bordering on horror.

She frantically gestured with her eyes, No! She's not even resting on the weekend?! This is too much!

Qiuzhang silently shook her head, signaling that Marietta's movements or gaze were too obvious and might disturb Lin Yue.

Marietta silently withdrew her gaze and also went to the washroom to freshen up.

After freshening up, Qiuzhang and Marietta, who had originally planned to rest for the day, couldn't resist the internal guilt and each took out a book to start studying.

When someone is studying diligently right next to you, and you plan to relax and rest, most people can't help but feel guilty and self-condemning.

Qiuzhang and Marietta felt exactly this way, flipping through their books with a mixture of pain and satisfaction.

They comforted themselves, thinking that at least their final grades for this academic year would definitely be better than before!

At lunch in the Great Hall, while eating quickly, Lin Yue inadvertently glanced at the Gryffindor table.

Whether it was a coincidence or subconscious, Lin Yue's glance landed directly on Hermione.

Hermione, who was eating lunch, sat quite far from Harry and Ron, clearly not wanting to talk to them.

Lin Yue calmly withdrew her gaze, her mind completely blank. She finished her lunch quickly and rushed to the library. She had finished the books she had borrowed and needed to get new ones.

As the weeks passed, the students of Hogwarts gradually got used to Lin Yue's dining speed and her habit of reading at any time.

Besides being called a "study maniac" from the very beginning, she also earned the nickname "tireless monster" to represent her constant diligence, never putting down her books even on weekends.

Compared to students from other houses, the Ravenclaw Little Eagles, who frequented the Hogwarts Library, were even more shocked.

Anyone who had observed Lin Yue even slightly could tell that she was reading books in the order they were arranged on the shelves.

She read them one by one, regardless of the content, and didn't skip a single one. With such meticulousness, she had already finished books from over a dozen shelves in just two months.

Of course, the students weren't the only ones impacted over these two months.

The professors were also greatly impacted by Lin Yue. Most of them, led by Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick, couldn't help but give her more advanced and additional reading materials than others.

However, even with these extra books, a problem arose.

Lin Yue always arrived early for class, so Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick couldn't help but ask her questions about the supplementary reading materials they had assigned her.

And every time, she answered them all without any difficulty.

At first, the professors were delighted, believing her to be a genius and a promising student.

So, they recommended additional reading materials to Lin Yue once a week.

But one evening at dinner, during their casual conversation, they finally discovered a terrifying problem.

They had assumed that Lin Yue wasn't undertaking extra studies for other courses, or had reduced her efforts in those areas.

That's why she was so efficient, managing to study several extra books for their respective courses each week.

However, during their chat, they discovered that Lin Yue wasn't falling behind in any course.

She was proactively studying and doing extra reading for all of them.

Then, Madam Pince, standing nearby, quietly added, "Not only that, she's also reading other books in the library. Her borrowing and returning frequency is very high."

As the librarian in charge of book borrowing records at Hogwarts Library, she had long been astonished by Lin Yue's diligence and reading speed.

Seeing the other professors now displaying the same look of shock she had experienced earlier, she felt an instant sense of relief.

After hearing this news, Professor Flitwick, as Lin Yue's Head of House, almost let out a shriek.

With such an intense study schedule, he was beginning to suspect that Lin Yue had no rest time at all!

He glanced towards the Ravenclaw table, but Lin Yue had already finished dinner and left.

The professors exchanged glances, having decided not to recommend any more supplementary reading material to Lin Yue.

It wasn't just because they feared she wouldn't have enough rest time, but also because she had already studied so much extra material. Any further delving would likely be too much for her underdeveloped magic power to handle, potentially causing her harm.

Madam Pince opened her mouth slightly, though she felt their decision wouldn't be very effective.

Based on her observations of Lin Yue's study habits over the past two months, the girl truly studied with a life-or-death intensity.

Even if the professors stopped recommending extra reading, she would probably just fill the freed-up time with other study projects.

And as the librarian of Hogwarts Library, she... could only watch.

As long as the little wizard didn't break any rules, she certainly couldn't stop her from entering the library to read. It wasn't even something she could decide on her own.

Hogwarts itself would never allow such a thing to happen!

The conversation between the professors and Madam Pince naturally didn't escape the ears of Headmaster Dumbledore and Professor Snape, who were seated at the same long table.

Listening to what Lin Yue had been doing for the past two months, Professor Snape's mouth twitched.

While he was relieved that he hadn't continued to track and observe Lin Yue, he also began to wonder if he had been too sensitive.

With Lin Yue's approach to life... she probably didn't have time for anything else besides reading, attending classes, doing homework, and basic physiological activities.

He turned to look at Dumbledore, and indeed, Headmaster Dumbledore's face was filled with a daze.

It was clear that he had never expected to hear a student's extracurricular schedule like this one day.

It was truly... shocking to him, an old professor and old headmaster of many years.

His bright eyes drooped slightly beneath his glasses. Rather than suspicion, he was now more concerned about this Ravenclaw student.
