Talented Woman Hermione

Li Mu looked at Hermione, momentarily lost in thought.

He definitely wasn't some perverted lolicon; he was just thinking: what's meant to happen will always happen, and the world doesn't seem to have changed because of his appearance. Not even a little bit.

As he was thinking this, Neville, the boy behind the girl, also chimed in, "Please, have any of you seen a toad? I can't find it... It doesn't like me!..."

By the end, the chubby boy was on the verge of tears, every inch of his round face trembling with sobs.

"No!" Ron said unpleasantly.

He was about to start his performance, putting on a show in front of the famous Harry Potter. But Hermione suddenly barged in, interrupting him.

But Hermione clearly didn't notice the disgruntled expression on the freckled face; her attention was drawn to the wand in Ron's hand, and she excitedly asked, "Are you using magic? Oh, that's wonderful, can we see?"

Ron hadn't even replied, and Hermione had no intention of letting him speak anyway. She sat down directly opposite Ron, next to Li Mu, her eyes fixed with interest on the tip of Ron's wand and the little rat Scabbers, sleeping peacefully beneath it.

Neville, seeing her sit down, also timidly sat next to Ron.

Under the gaze of many eyes, Ron Weasley's face turned red, a feeling of embarrassment and annoyance rising in his heart, but he had no way to deal with the situation.

"Uh... okay," Ron said, then began to wave the wand in his hand, "Sunshine daisies, moonlight crazies, turn this dumb, fat rat yellow, if you pleases."

The spell ended, the wand paused... but there was no reaction. Scabbers, still asleep, remained gray.

"That's not right, I saw George cast a spell on his pet, and it worked very well," Ron muttered, his face full of confusion. His cheeks were almost as red as his hair, like a fire burning.

He quickly waved his wand and repeated the spell in a low voice.

Still no effect.

"Are you sure that's a spell? It doesn't seem to be working," Hermione said, shaking her head in disappointment. "I've tried a few spells myself, but they've all been very effective. No one in my family has ever been a wizard, so I was really surprised when I received my acceptance letter. I've memorized all the textbook content, I hope it's enough... By the way, I'm Hermione Granger, and you are?"

At the end, she asked again, and nodded towards Li Mu and Harry, as if meeting old friends. Just like in the original story, she was actually a lively girl.

"Hello, I'm Li Mu, he's Harry Potter, and that's Ron Weasley." Li Mu could see that Ron was very upset, and Harry didn't really want to answer, so he simply answered for them.

"Li... Mu...?" Hermione struggled to pronounce the two words, but it was a genuine Mandarin pronunciation, "Such a strange name... Are you from the Celestial Dynasty?"

She looked at Li Mu, with his black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin, with a puzzled expression.

Li Mu nodded, and Hermione seemed very surprised, "Oh! You're amazing, Hogwarts has never recruited students from the Celestial Dynasty before! Not since it was founded."

"Oh... really?" Li Mu scratched his head. He remembered that there seemed to be two Indian sisters in the original book, and also Cho Chang—actually, it should be Chang Qiu, this important character was born and raised in Britain as a Chinese descendant.

He also thought that since India could send international students, and there were Chinese descendants studying there, it wouldn't be a big deal for Hogwarts to recruit students from the Celestial Dynasty... He didn't expect that he was the first Celestial Dynasty international student in history.

"Really! These situations are all recorded in the appendix of Hogwarts: A History, which records the enrollment of each session. For the thousand years since Hogwarts was founded, it has never recruited students from the Celestial Dynasty... Wait!" Hermione explained halfway, then suddenly exclaimed.

"What's wrong?"

The girl's scream was high-pitched and shrill, and the other boys in the room subconsciously covered their ears.

"You just said, he's Ha... Harry..." Hermione had already turned her head, and she looked at Harry, who also had black hair, "Harry Potter! Are you really Harry Potter? Oh, I know so much about you!"

Harry met Hermione's gaze, he was a little uneasy, and could only force a smile.

But Hermione Granger was still excitedly chattering, "Modern Wizard and The Rise and Fall of the Mysterious Arts in the Twentieth Century and the Chronicle of Magical Events, and The Rise and Fall of Dark Arts... a whole bunch of books have mentioned you."

"Oh, really? So those books have mentioned me too?" Harry said with a forced smile.

Harry had already learned from Li Mu that many books in the wizarding world mentioned him. However, he would bet that Li Mu definitely couldn't remember so many titles.

In fact, that was indeed the case. Li Mu looked at Hermione's excited appearance and felt a myriad of emotions. A top student is indeed a top student! At least he had also finished reading Hogwarts: A History, and after more than eight years of cultivation, Li Mu felt that his memory had far surpassed ordinary people, but he really couldn't remember the specific content of that appendix.

He was simply curious about how this girl's brain was structured.

Hermione then rattled off a few more of Harry's glorious histories, and as she spoke, she suddenly slapped her forehead, "Oh right... we still have to find Neville's toad!"

She seemed to have just remembered this matter, and immediately stood up again. Neville, with his round face, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and also stood up. Just as the two were about to go out, Hermione turned back to Li Mu and the others and asked, "Aren't you going to help look for it?"

The tone in which she said it was a matter of course.

Ron hadn't recovered from his anger just now, and the dissatisfaction in his eyes was even greater. Harry also felt a little annoyed.

However, Li Mu had already agreed first.

"Okay, helping others is a pleasure... I was just planning to wander around." Li Mu said as he stood up. Perhaps because of gender, age, and appearance, he didn't find Hermione's arrogance offensive, but rather felt it was a bit cute.

Besides, helping to find a toad wasn't a big deal. Friends are friends, you have to help each other and face difficulties together for friendship to blossom.

Harry and Ron saw that he had stated his position, and even though they weren't very willing, they still stood up.

Hermione's lips stretched into a bright smile, her bright eyes and white teeth shining: "Great, you are all good people. Thank you!"

Neville also nodded his chubby head, thanking them repeatedly. This finally made Ron and the others feel a little more comfortable.

Children, after all, don't have any grudges that can't be overcome.
