After returning from Diagon Alley, Ye Ting locked himself in his room and delved into studying the magic of this world.
Through experimentation and research, he roughly understood the principles of magic in the world of "Harry Potter" – a form of art where magic influences rules. Magic originated from living beings, so only wizards and magical creatures possessing magic could cast spells.
Casting spells in this world required a strong will, precise pronunciation, and gestures. A firm will determined the target and effect of the magic, while pronunciation and gestures were essential catalysts. Through these, magic directly achieved results by influencing rules.
Compared to directly and crudely impacting reality with magic, spells resembled completing tasks directly through a console in an RPG game. They were not only more effective but also yield spells like the Reparo, Accio, and others that defy fundamental rules like energy conservation and the principle of increasing entropy.
As for wands, it's well-known that magical creatures in the "Harry Potter" world possessed stronger magic than wizards. Wands were crafted from materials derived from these magical creatures and special woods, serving as organizers and converters of magic.
When a wizard had sufficient knowledge and proficiency in a spell, they could omit the incantation and wand, casting spells through silent thought and bare hands. This is silent and wandless magic, allowing faster and more unexpected spell-casting. However, since silent thought was less effective as a catalyst than spoken incantations, and bare hands were less efficient at processing and converting magic than wands, the spell effects were much inferior and less efficient.
With Ye Ting's talent, he quickly learned relatively simple and commonly used spells like Lumos, Wingardium Leviosa, and Reparo, but he couldn't learn more in his room. On the one hand, knowledge like the Fire-Making Spell and Potions requires suitable venues and materials. On the other hand, overly complex spells not only risk unrecoverable accidents but might also alert Mrs. Garry and the other orphans at the orphanage.
With no other choice, Ye Ting had to suppress his curiosity about magic and eagerly await the first day of school.
Waiting was always endless, but finally, the day arrived on September 1st.
Ye Ting arrived at King's Cross Station at nine o'clock, hoping to board the train early so he could freely choose a compartment and avoid people he wasn't interested in. At Hogwarts, besides the main characters, only George and Fred Weasley, Cedric Diggory, and pretty girls could catch his attention.
The station was bustling with people at this time. Standing between platforms nine and ten, Ye Ting cautiously looked around, hoping to find an opportunity to enter platform nine and three-quarters unnoticed.
Soon, several wizards in strange robes approached him and foolishly walked into the wall right in front of him, disappearing one after another.
Ye Ting gritted his teeth, suppressing his urge to complain, and followed them to run into the wall of platform nine and three-quarters. In the blink of an eye, he felt like he had passed through a "door," and suddenly, everything brightened up.
Before him was a red, old-fashioned steam train with a sign hanging from it that read "Hogwarts Express."
With Ye Ting's talent, he could clearly sense that he was in a special space, a phase overlapping with the original space of King's Cross Station.
"This is truly unscientific, what magic can achieve." he marveled, following the crowd onto the train.
At this point, there weren't many people in the train carriages, but Ye Ting still sat in an empty compartment further back. He noticed that older wizards tended to sit upfront, while new students gathered in the last few carriages.
After securing his luggage, Ye Ting opened his backpack, releasing Himari, who had been confined for too long, and then pulled out a book titled "Hogwarts, A History" to read. Perhaps fellow young wizards would find such readings tedious, but for him, it was a decent pastime.
Himari meowed and rubbed against his legs, purring affectionately. Ye Ting knew she wanted to play with him, but he was enjoying his reading. He casually pulled out a delicious grilled fish fillet from his bag and gave it to Himari, then roughly patted her head, considering that sufficient attention.
Himari reluctantly took the fish fillet and wandered out of the compartment.
Ye Ting was at ease about this since Himari was a cat demon. Although still young, her intelligence was enough for her to take care of herself.
After a while, she hurried back into the compartment and leapt into Ye Ting's arms, as if someone was chasing her.
No, someone was indeed chasing her.
It was a girl, seemingly of the same age as Ye Ting, with thick brown hair and a pair of prominent front teeth. She had already put on her Hogwarts uniform, and Ye Ting recognized her at once – she resembled a younger Emma Watson by seven-tenths.
Hermione Granger, the female protagonist of the "Harry Potter" series, the clever "know-it-all" who consistently ranked first in her year. However, J.K. Rowling arranged for her to end up with Ron, much to everyone's disappointment.
