Neither of them objected.

Next, Harry naturally showed his scar.

Ron was amazed.

Then they chatted about some matters in the wizarding world.

Harry's worries about his own magical level.

Ron's comfort was clearly much more useful than that of the academic star Devero.

Harry was thus able to relax a little.

By this time, Devero had already examined Ron's entry.

Huh.

It was indeed the same as in the original work.

Apart from a basic entry for Magic Ability (Blue), Ron had no other valuable entries.

As the male lead of the original work, coupled with Harry's high-level entries, the contrast made Ron seem rather shabby.

Just then, the snack trolley was pushed in.

The rich Harry waved his hand grandly.

Devero and Ron, two children from poor families, followed suit and ate heartily.

Ron was usually poor at home and really didn't know how to eat these snacks.

Devero, on the other hand, was often harshly treated by Snape. He wouldn't dare to show the slightest desire to eat snacks! If he were to do so, he would have to be prepared for double the potion homework.

When Harry accidentally ate a Pepper-Flavored Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Bean and choked terribly, the door suddenly opened.

A girl with fluffy hair walked in, followed by a crying, round-faced boy.

"I'm so sorry to bother you. My name is Hermione Granger, and this is Neville Longbottom. We're looking for his lost toad. Has anyone seen Neville's toad?"

As soon as she spoke, Harry and Ron turned their gaze to Eld, who was sleeping soundly on Devero's shoulder at that moment. Neville also looked over. But it was clear that Devero's Eld and Neville's toad looked very different. Eld was much larger.

Devero spread his hands, indicating that this toad was definitely not Neville's. In his heart, he wondered why Hermione had come with Neville. Had he changed some events? He immediately checked Hermione's entry.

[Name: Hermione Granger] [Age: 11 years old] ... [Entries: Exam Expert (Purple), Magical Talent (Purple), Potion Perception (Blue)] ... [Exam Expert (Purple): Extremely adept at reading textbooks, possesses extraordinary memory, and can handle all sorts of exams with ease!]

Goodness gracious.

Must say.

Hermione's talent is truly impressive.

At the very least, since arriving on the platform.

Among those Devero has seen.

Aside from Harry, the protagonist.

She has the best trait configuration.

And what Devero didn't expect was that Hermione even had a trait related to Potions.

But thinking back on it.

Being able to independently brew Polyjuice Potion in her second year certainly wouldn't be possible without some talent.

And the trait Devero craved most was naturally [Exam Prodigy].

Although Devero is a Magic Prodigy.

He is merely a Magic Prodigy, after all.

For subjects like History of Magic, which emphasize knowledge accumulation over practical application.

Devero reckoned he would suffer just as much as Harry and the others.

With this trait.

His future life at Hogwarts would likely be much more comfortable.

Thus, Devero added this trait to his shopping cart.

"I'm sorry, I don't think we saw it, but..."

Devero snapped back to reality and rubbed his chin.

Suddenly thinking of something.

He asked Hermione.

"What is the name of that toad? I might have a way to find it."

"Really? His name is Trevor!"

Hermione's spirits lifted instantly upon hearing this.

She looked at Devero with sparkling eyes.

Eager to see what method he would use.

Devero nodded upon hearing the name.

He drew his wand and whispered.

"Accio Trevor!"

Whoosh!

A heavy object cut through the air with a whistling sound.

In less than a second.

A toad flew from a distant compartment and landed right in Devero's hand.

Devero caught it with ease.

And handed it to Neville.

Neville took it, overjoyed.

His sorrow instantly turned to delight.

"Wow! What spell is that? How come I haven't seen it in any of the books?!"

Hermione immediately leaned in.

Staring at Devero's wand in amazement.

"That was the Summoning Charm. It should be part of the Standard Book of Spells, Grade 4 curriculum, but it's quite practical, so I learned it in advance."

Devero smiled nonchalantly.

"Ah! I've only just finished memorizing the Standard Book of Spells, Grade 1. I'm so far behind; what am I going to do when school starts!"

Upon hearing Devero's words, Hermione's face fell.

She muttered to herself, looking a bit sad and anxious.

The others were also stunned that Devero had already begun studying fourth-year material.

Neville nearly dropped his toad.

It almost got away again.

Harry's expression, which had just been soothed by Ron, grew tense once more.

Devero watched their reactions.

While marveling at how Hermione truly lived up to her reputation as an Exam Prodigy, having already memorized the entire first-year curriculum, he couldn't help but offer a wry smile.

He thought about how Hermione memorizing the first-year textbooks already put her far ahead of most of her classmates.

Yet, such reassurance clearly didn't make Hermione feel any better; she was still visibly anxious.

However, when she looked up and saw Harry, her eyes lit up.

She immediately ran over to sit across from Harry and pulled out her wand.

"Heh heh, although I don't know many, I have mastered a few basic spells, like this one."

As she spoke, she pointed her wand at the bridge of Harry's glasses and gave it a flick!

"Avada Kedavra!"

A flash of green light streaked across the room.

The world-famous Boy Who Lived failed to escape the Killing Curse a second time.

On September 1, 1991, he was killed by the Death Eater Hermione Granger.

Beep—

(The above is purely a figment of Devero's imagination!)

"Oculus Reparo!"

Hermione's voice was firm and clear.

A soft glow emanated from the tip of her wand.

In an instant, the broken bridge of Harry's glasses was perfectly repaired.

The first-year students immediately wore expressions of amazement.

Neville even cheered for it.

He excitedly hoisted his newly found toad, Trevor, above his head, his face beaming with unconcealable joy.

It was hard to tell if he was impressed by Hermione's magical skill or simply happy about finding his toad.

Harry was also delighted.

He thanked Hermione gratefully, "Thank you, Hermione! That was truly amazing!"

Ron, on the other hand, seemed eager to try.

He gripped his own wand tightly, seemingly wanting to show off a spell of his own.

"Hey, I actually know one too, though it's a bit unreliable...!"

He said confidently, though there was a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

Hermione looked at Devero with a face full of smiles, her eyes sparkling with pride, as if to say, "See? I'm not half bad, am I?"

Devero smiled and applauded her, nodding in appreciation.

Just then, a pale boy with platinum-blonde hair walked in, accompanied by two burly boys.

There was a hint of arrogance and disdain in the boy's eyes, as if he took great issue with the noise they had just been making.

He scanned the students in the compartment, his gaze finally settling on Harry.
