Chapter 0023 Heartthrob and Studying Hard

_____________________________________________________________

In fact, unlike what Ye Ting imagined, Orianna's appearance caused a certain sensation.

After all, as a figure doll, she is too exquisite.

Ye Ting's three roommates all wanted to take a closer look at her. Michael Corner even wanted to play with her in his hand, but was rejected without hesitation. Orianna shyly crawled under Ye Ting's cloak and went into it. She went into the pocket of his jacket and only exposed her head to "observe secretly".

Since then, Ye Ting has become Ravenclaw's most popular student - both boys and girls.

The boys pestered him, wanting to see Orianna with their own eyes, while the girls were attracted by his appearance and the cute Himari.

So, whether in the common room of Ravenclaw or at the dining table, he was always surrounded by people, and the chattering made him tireless.

But there are exceptions, Hermione will hang out with him in most cases, euphemistically calling it studying together, while Cho Chang always goes back and forth with him, but these two girls do not make him bored.

Another person, the beautiful prefect Penelope, did not bother him.

Although she made no secret of her affection for him, she never did anything that bothered him.

Due to the long-term harassment, Ye Ting had to keep a cold face in most cases, to make the others stop.

As a result of this, he was portrayed as a cold person in most people's eyes. Boys and girls finally began to stop annoying him, but contrary to expectations, Ye Ting's popularity among girls gradually rose even higher.

These girls even called him a "male god" and "heartthrob".

He doesn't know whether these people have Stockholm syndrome or tremors.

On the boy's side, so far, only his three roommates are friends with him.

Especially after learning that Ye Ting is a muggle who was born in an orphanage, Slytherin boys began to consciously reject him.

"You are just a vain mud blood," Draco Malfoy once said in front of him. As a result, he was hung upside down on the ceiling of the corridor by the "dangling" charm for an entire class period. It was not until after class that he was rescued by Professor Snape who arrived after hearing the news.

For this reason, Ravenclaw was deducted ten points, but no one blamed Ye Ting, the little wizards from Gryffindor had a much more favorable impression of him.

But for Ye Ting, these welcomes or points are meaningless. His biggest purpose is to learn magic in addition to studying the "plot".

In fact, to the professors, Ye Ting is a great student. Whether it is the transfiguration class, charms, or potions class, he can perfectly complete the teacher's task, and any questions in class will are not difficult for him.

Of course, there is also the famous miss "Know-it-all". This pair of inseparable academic students are deeply loved by all professors. Ravenclaw's house scores have never risen so fast.

They are also regular guests of Mrs. Pince. After class, the two of them will come to the library together to continue their studies, and Cho Chang would also study with them until she finished her homework.

For Ye Ting, this kind of study reminds him of his high school days, which made him feel a little nostalgic.

He has always been a person who can study with patience, and when the content of learning is not a boring high school course, but instead is magic, he can't wait to spend all his time learning it.

Even Hermione was ashamed of such enthusiasm for learning. Coupled with his learning talent, Ye Ting's learning progress soon reached the level of a higher year.

Of course, his learning process was not without obstacles.

In his opinion, the writing of technical and academic books in the wizarding world is quite unreasonable.

All authors are quite casual when writing books. They will write a lot of gorgeous and useless words to describe them, even mixed with a large amount of psychological descriptions and records of their behavior, which makes people feel that this is not a wizard book, but the author's autobiography.

In addition, the wizards of the magical world also choose professional vocabulary quite casually. In their academic circles, there is no such thing as scientific names. Most academic nouns rely on understanding.

For the same magic, the descriptions from different authors are different and quite casual, which often confuses the readers.

They don't have professional names and academic languages. As a result, Ye Ting often spends a long time sorting out knowledge after reading a book - because he needs to remove 80% of the useless rhetoric and running accounts and compare the points mentioned in other books, which may be repeated because two books often mention the same spell, but it uses different names and different descriptions.

Then, he will use more "professional" and concise words to record his results.

It's been less than a week before the start of school, and he has already filled up half of his notebook.

He believes that his notes recorded by using academic papers through their professional vocabulary system are more concise and effective than these magic books.

He reckons that by the time he's done reading all the books in the library of Ravenclaw's common room and Hogwarts's library within seven years of school - the notes he took were enough to fully contain most of the knowledge of the wizarding world.

Chapter 0024 Fun Facts and Flying Lessons

In Ye Ting's eyes, except for the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor, Professor Quirrell, the professors of Hogwarts were undoubtedly all highly accomplished.

Even the gloomy and awkward Snape deserved to be a master of potions in his eyes.

The only classes he struggled with were two classes: History of Magic and Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Ye Ting felt that the History of Magic class was useless, and it was meaningless to memorize the time of the Goblin Uprising and the establishment of the Statute of Secrecy.

The professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Quirrell, is not only stupid, but also has ghost in his head, and Ye Ting can't learn anything from him at all.

So in these two classes, he always skipped them and studied in the library.

Professor Binns of history of magic class did not even notice this - the ghost who had lived for almost a thousand years knew very limited knowledge of his students and doesn't even know their names.

Professor Quirrell, on the other hand, dared not speak out. He himself is a cowardly person and has Voldemort living in his head, which causes suspicion every day and he would not dare not make trouble at all.

In addition to studying, the other parts of life at Hogwarts are quite interesting, such as the Hogwarts stairs.

There are 142 of these staircases. Some of them are wide and big; some are narrow, small, and rickety; some lead to different places every Friday; some go up halfway up, and a step will cause you to fall.

Plus, there are lots doors of here that won't open if you ask rudely or poke in the right place, and some doors are not even real, they are just solid doors that won't open.

It's not easy to remember what is where, because everything seems to keep moving all the time.

The people in the portrait also constantly visit each other, and even the armor of knights can walk.

For Ye Ting, seeing all this in the movie is completely different from actually experiencing them. These moving stairs, which are very interesting in the movies and novels, have brought a lot of trouble to his daily activities.

He felt that anyone a little bit stupid would get lost in Hogwarts.

The characters in the portrait will not affect him, but as a polite person, it is also tiring to say hello to the portraits frequently.

However, the caretaker Filch, who made the little wizards the most timid in the original work, and his old cat, Mrs. Norris, did not cause him any trouble.

On the one hand, it's because he doesn't cause much trouble, and on the other hand, Himari's existence keeps Mrs. Norris away from Ye Ting.

As a cat demon, Himari is like a big sister among all Hogwarts cats, and all cats - even if they are of cat civets - listen to her.

When Ye Ting was in class or in the library, Himari sometimes wandered around the castle by herself, and no one would bother her: the students liked her, even the mischievous twins George and Fred, and the most ghost Peeves would subconsciously stay away from her, probably because she was a cat demon.

Therefore, a white kitten with a group of cats of different sizes and colors can often be seen swaggering across the castle, which has become a new wonder of Hogwarts.

Sometimes, even Orianna would ride on her and hang out with her.

In addition to the above, in Hogwarts, there is one more thing that caught Ye Ting's attention the most.

This made him both anticipated and entangled.

That is broom flying.

In fact, Ye Ting is looking forward to Mrs. Hooch's flying class. After all, flying has long been a long-standing dream of mankind. He himself always thought that one day he could fly freely in the sky.

At his current level of magic, flying is still an unrealistic dream - also because the Harry Potter world itself has no magic associated with direct flight.

But right now, there is a shortcut to this goal: a broomstick.

For Ye Ting, flying is cool, but riding a broom is too stupid.

He thinks flying on a sword is much cooler, and that flying on a broom is stupid. This is his opinion.

But Hermione didn't think so. Perhaps it was because of the cultural differences between the East and the West, even Cho Chang, a Chinese who grew up in the UK, felt that riding a broom was not a big deal.

Since the news of Neville breaking his leg in a flying class spread to Ravenclaw, Miss know-it-all became even more nervous about the flying class that has not even started. She borrowed a copy of "Quidditch Through the Ages" from the library and read it carefully several times.

In her spare time, she kept talking about some flight instructions in this book and was pestering Cho Chang, who had excellent flying skills, repeatedly asking her to describe the feeling of flying on a broom. Even Cho Chang, who had a good temper, was confused.

The rest of the little wizards were also a little uneasy. As the flying lessons approached, more and more of them began to talk about flying and Quidditch.

Among the freshmen, students from wizarding families would talk loudly about how they used their broomsticks to play games during the holidays, and the muggle-born first years could only envy them.
