Being at Hogwarts, something's not right with this system.

Although the food at Hogwarts' grand freshman dinner was nothing special to Lin Yu.

Even if he had never eaten a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, he had at least heard of it.

Besides, in his previous life, even if his family wasn't extremely wealthy, they were still considered well-off.

During holidays and festivals, you have to prepare a few hearty dishes.

While it may not be a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate, it's certainly a dish with plenty of meat and vegetables.

These dishes are only good enough to fool those unsophisticated British folks.

Fortunately, the portions were plentiful and filling. Lin Yu even held his and Hermione's wands in his hands and used them as chopsticks.

Hermione, standing nearby, felt sorry for her and was already thinking about getting a new wand.

But Hermione, being kind-hearted, looked at Lin Yu hesitantly and reminded him, "Don't forget to return it to me when you're done. It would be best to use a cleaning charm to clean it up properly."

"No problem," Lin Yu readily agreed, but wasn't this what he should do anyway?

Now that we've arrived at Hogwarts, the so-called protection law that prevents underage wizards from using magic outside of Hogwarts is no longer valid.

However, Hermione had actually explained to Lin Yu on the train that the law did not actually prohibit underage wizards from using magic outside of Hogwarts; rather, it should have prohibited the use of magic from being discovered by Muggles (Hermione corrected herself at the time: that is, ordinary people).

This means that even underage wizards can use magic outside.

It's just that ordinary people can't discover or know about magic.

Of course, this certainly doesn't include the young wizard's family.

After all, Hogwarts even had to send school staff to visit and persuade young wizards from ordinary families to attend, so it was natural to explain that Hogwarts was a magic school.

For example, Hermione secretly used magic during the time before school started.

Lin Yu thought to himself, "That damn mirror dared to lie to me. When I go back home for vacation, I'll definitely tear it down."

During meals, the children would chat with their classmates.

A boy named Seamus told those around him about his family: "I'm half-blood. My mother is a witch, and my father is a Muggle. My mother only told him on their wedding night, and I heard it shocked him."

Everyone else immediately burst into laughter.

Compared to Slytherin, the other three houses are generally more friendly to ordinary people.

Moreover, they find mixed-race individuals quite common.

In other words, it is true that there are indeed cases of male and female wizards marrying ordinary people, and it is not uncommon, but rather quite common.

After all, wizards are still a minority. Just like this year's new students, there are only twenty or thirty young wizards in the entire country of Britain.

If wizards do not intermarry with ordinary people, their descendants will only decrease until the so-called pure-blood families are completely wiped out and they themselves face extinction.

Perhaps this is why Lin Yu's verbal sparring with Snape and Slytherin didn't provoke widespread resentment from the entire school?

Even in Gryffindor, Lin Yu is seen as a hero?

Some people also asked Lin Yu, "Lin Yu, what about you? What's your family situation?"

Lin Yu paused, his chopsticks (magic wand) in his hand. He thought of his family from his previous life. He had suddenly died without saying goodbye to his family, and he didn't know how heartbroken his parents were. At this moment, he couldn't help but show a sad expression and said, "They are no longer in this world. I am actually homeless."

He was telling the truth because his family was in another world, while they were in the real world.

However, everyone mistakenly believed that his family members had all passed away, and the atmosphere immediately became somber.

Only Harry's eyes lit up as he looked at Lin Yu, seemingly pleased.

Lin Yu rolled his eyes, thinking that Harry was not only a bit sarcastic, but also seemed a bit cunning.

This kid is completely different from the goofy character in the movie.

After spending a day together, Lin Yu's opinion of Harry did change somewhat.

For example, at the train station, it was Harry who led him to Platform Nine and Three-Quarters.

Harry cleverly asked the guards what trains were running at 11 o'clock.

Perhaps this is how Harry should normally behave?

The lively dinner continued until all the students had eaten their fill, leaving only a mess of leftovers on the table.

Suddenly, the tables changed. The leftover food disappeared, replaced by tables laden with desserts.

They offer a wide variety of ice cream flavors, as well as apple pie, syrup pie, chocolate muffin, fried fruit jam donuts, wine-soaked fruit jam pudding, strawberry, jelly, and pudding.

Even Lin Yu stopped complaining about British food after that; at least the desserts were decent.

The children cheered and reached out for their favorite desserts.

Lin Yu put away his chopsticks and muttered to himself, "Scourgify."

Now he can speak fluent English with a British accent, after all, he now lives in the UK.

This is a cleansing spell; as the name suggests, its purpose is to clean.

In an instant, the two magic wands that Lin Yu had been using as chopsticks in his hands became clean and as good as new.

When Lin Yu returned Hermione's wand to her, exclamations of "Wow!" rang out from the crowd.

Although it was just a small magic spell, the new semester had just begun, and the freshmen hadn't even had their first class yet, but Lin Yu was already able to use magic smoothly.

This still amazed many young wizards.

Even from the teachers' seats, several eyes were drawn to this.

Another person even ran right over from the dining table. He was the clerk Filch that Dumbledore had mentioned earlier. His full name was Argus Filch. In English, Filch means thief, and Argus is a giant in Greek mythology with a hundred eyes.

So Filch was ugly, especially when he yelled at Lin Yu, "How dare you use magic here?"

Lin Yu found him even more repulsive and retorted bluntly, "The principal said before that magic is not allowed in the corridor, so please tell me which rule I violated?"

Filch was speechless.

Lin Yu heard the twins applauding for him.

Filch is actually a Squib, meaning that although he is from the wizarding world and knows some things about it.

However, he himself cannot use magic, and even though he knows the incantations, he cannot make any spells work.

This made Filch both envious and jealous of these young wizards who could freely use magic.

This jealousy twisted him, making him hate children.

Lin Yu found it strange that such a bad seed, who harbored hatred and even abused his position to physically punish students, could continue to work at Hogwarts.

"As expected, Dumbledore is completely incompetent. If I were the headmaster, I would be the first to expel you. Don't wait until that day," Lin Yu said, looking Filch up and down without a care in the world, revealing his ambition.

Since he already boasted so arrogantly before, there's nothing to care about anymore.

I'm not pretending anymore, I'm laying my cards on the table.

My buddy has big ambitions.

He even acted as if he didn't respect Dumbledore at all.

The old man? System, you have no idea how wicked that guy is.
