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

Draco and his gang originally intended to cause trouble, but instead, they were teased by Lin Yu and Hermione in a back-and-forth banter.

There was nothing they could do; both Gore and Crabbe, those two henchmen, were quite big, but unfortunately, they were terrible with words.

It would be difficult for Draco to gain the upper hand against Lin Yu and Hermione on his own.

In the end, he could only angrily fling his sleeves and leave.

"How annoying," Hermione said with a look of disgust as she watched the group leave. "I was having a great day."

I went to the library to read a book this morning, and Lin Yu accompanied me.

Hermione was in a good mood.

Now, however, I've been disturbed.

Lin Yu chuckled and patted Hermione on the back, reassuring her, "It's alright, just a little incident. Just ignore him. Ignoring a bratty kid like that is the worst thing you can do."

Hermione tilted her head and rolled her eyes at Lin Yu: "You really think I want to argue with him?"

Lin Yu asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Hermione sighed and said, "I wanted to try and see if I could create some conflict or tension. I've noticed that voice in your head always seems to appear at certain times and give you tasks."

Lin Yu was taken aback.

The system was equally surprised. What did this girl mean?

But Hermione continued, "So I've been wondering, what exactly is that voice you call the system? Everything has a pattern, doesn't it? Magic is no exception; everything has logic. And you even get benefits. For example, before, I gave you something, and you fulfilled the system's requirements, so you received a benefit. I'm wondering, if you had just had a conflict with Malfoy, would you have received another benefit?"

Lin Yu blinked, and couldn't help but think to himself, "I knew they were all smarter than me, Harry and Hermione too."

Back at King's Cross Station, Lin Yu hadn't thought to ask how many trains ran at 11 o'clock.

Lin Yu was wondering if Platform 9¾ was like in the movies, where you had to go through a wall to get to it.

Fortunately, he didn't do that, because the Platform 9¾ in the novel and the entrance in the movie are completely different things.

And then there's Hermione. She's really smart. As long as it's not related to practical skills, like flying or dueling, she's a true know-it-all.

Even though Lin Yu has an adult mindset, he often appears clever only because of the advantages of the plot.

In fact, Lin Yu admitted that his reasoning ability was actually quite average.

In contrast, Hermione seemed to be able to hear Lin Yu's conversation with the system, and then she was able to apply that knowledge to other situations and start testing the system.

Lin Yu couldn't help but exclaim, "If Hermione had gotten the system, she probably would have taken even the system's underwear!"

System: "I'm ashamed to say I don't have that."

However, the system didn't deny this; instead, it took the opportunity to mock Lin Yu: "Look at him, he knows how to advance the plot and find ways to trigger missions. Is the host just going to be pushed along by the plot?"

"What?" Lin Yu retorted, "Am I supposed to steal the magic stone?"

Then the first season could end early.

"The Philosopher's Stone?" Hermione continued to tilt her head, looking at Lin Yu curiously. "What's that? And what are those underwear?"

There are of course many words in English to describe underwear, but Hermione doesn't quite understand words with a distinctive flavor like "panties".

Is it some kind of pants?

Hermione thought that Chinese was actually quite interesting.

(Lin Yu's conversations with the system in his mind were almost entirely in Chinese, which was unusual for him.)

"In short," the system couldn't help but say, "to reward Miss Hermione's intelligence, a whole bunch of various spiritual fruits have been bestowed upon her. The rewards have been sent to the system space, and the host can check them at any time."

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow: "No mission this time? And you admit she's Hermione?"

System: "What, you want to take on a mission that's already expired after three years? Don't be so ungrateful. Being more obedient will do you good."

Then the system fell silent again.

Hermione's actions, which shocked the entire system, caused it to become unusually active and say a lot.

It seems the system also likes Hermione, just like Lin Yu?

Hermione looked at Lin Yu, and when he took out a spiritual fruit, she finally realized, "So these fruits were given to you by that system. No wonder I couldn't find them anywhere else except with you."

When Lin Yu handed the spirit fruit to Hermione, she didn't stand on ceremony at all, opened her mouth and ate it, saying indistinctly, "So sweet. And Lin Yu, I've noticed that after eating these fruits you gave me, my stomach always feels warm and cozy, like there's some kind of energy inside? Is this what you call Qigong in the East?"

Lin Yu was taken aback and subconsciously reached out and pressed on Hermione's lower abdomen.

Hermione was also stunned, completely frozen in place.

Actually, Lin Yu was touching the dantian, but as everyone knows, the dantian is located three inches below the navel.

Hermione looked down, staring blankly at Lin Yu's hand, almost screaming.

"Is this the place?" Lin Yu, seemingly unaware that his actions were quite inappropriate, asked Hermione with concern, "This is the dantian, is there qi inside?"

He knew, of course, what benefits the spiritual fruit he gave him would bring.

He had previously used spiritual fruits to replenish the lack of spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy contained in spiritual fruits may not be as much as that in spiritual stones, but it is purer and, being a fruit, can be directly absorbed into the body.

It doesn't even require circulating cultivation techniques to absorb it.

Moreover, Hermione had already used the Marrow Cleansing Pill, so she actually already had the aptitude for cultivation. Furthermore, Lin Yu had fed her so many spiritual fruits, so it wouldn't be surprising if her body contained spiritual energy.

Hermione finally came to her senses and whispered, "Lin Yu, we're still outside, don't do this."

Lin Yu trembled upon hearing Hermione's voice, realizing something was wrong, and quickly released his grip.

Hermione turned around and glared at him reproachfully. Already in mid-air, she suddenly lifted the broom, and the two of them soared into the sky.

Lin Yu was startled and hugged Hermione's waist again, afraid of being thrown off, since he wasn't flying on his sword now.

And so, the two young people, clinging tightly to each other, flew up into the sky above the castle once more. Compared to the others, they were getting way too close.

Lin Yu may not have any ideas yet, after all, Hermione is too young.

But he has a mature mind, so unlike other little boys, he is not at the age where he still likes to play with boys.

He's already started to get ahead of the game.

During this time together, Hermione also developed a great deal of trust and affection for Lin Yu.

After all, Lin Yu had defended her more than once, even going head-to-head with Professor Snape in Potions class.

Meanwhile, Ron was right before, because of Hermione's personality, she is not actually very likable.

This made the two of them even more inseparable.

Inside the castle, Dumbledore stood by the window, watching the two children tumbling and playing in the air, their cheerful laughter occasionally breaking the silence. He couldn't help but stroke his beard and smile.

But he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "What a troublesome kid, no wonder he's a Gryffindor."

On his desk were piles of letters, and almost all of them inquired about the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

"What should we do?"
