Upon seeing her, Ye Ting's first thought wasn't about the "strategies" or "cultivation" he had imagined for so long. Instead, it was why the story of the Harry Potter world had been written as a novel and turned into movies in his home world. Why did the movie's female lead resemble the real Hermione Granger to such a great extent, yet not look exactly the same?
He didn't believe that the Harry Potter world was created because of the Harry Potter series of novels and movies. On the contrary, he was more inclined to believe that the Harry Potter world had influenced his world, leading to the creation of these works.
However, he couldn't prove this at present, but he believed that with his study and research of magic, and his talent temporal-spatial ability, he would definitely find a way to traverse planes. He felt that the truth could always be found in his continuous journey of time travel.
Snapping back to reality, Ye Ting began to scrutinize the famous girl from his world who stood before him.
She was a proud girl, like a swan stretching its neck. Physically, she was adorable, with the makings of a beauty.
"Is this cat yours?" she asked, without greetings or introductions. "Can I pet it?"
"Meow~" Himari whimpered and retreated into Ye Ting's backpack, only exposing a pair of bright eyes to observe from the shadows.
"Of course not, you scared Himari." Ye Ting raised an eyebrow in exasperation. He couldn't fathom what the girl had done to frighten Himari so much.
"Himari? Why did you give your cat such a name? Is it some kind of magical language?" Hermione asked curiously, her attention completely diverted now.
"No, it's Japanese, meaning 'Hi Ma Ri'," Ye Ting explained.
"So you're of Japanese descent," Hermione nodded half-understandingly.
"No, I'm Chinese."
"Then why did you name your cat in Japanese?"
"Because I like it."
Hermione's continuous questioning left Ye Ting somewhat amused and frustrated. He hadn't expected Hermione to be so inquisitive. Fortunately, the young girl shifted to another topic in moderation.
"My name is Hermione Granger," she introduced herself. "I come from a muggle family. None of us understands magic, so when I received my letter of acceptance, I was extremely surprised but also very happy. Because, I mean, according to what I know, this is the best magic school—I've memorized all the textbooks, so I can catch up with you all—so, what's your name?"
She spoke rapidly, like a machine gun, finishing a long self-introduction in one breath and finding an opportunity to show off her learning ability.
"Such a child," Ye Ting sighed inwardly, then introduced himself, "My name is Ye Ting, from a muggle orphanage, so I'm not sure if I have wizard blood."
"By the way, would you like to sit inside?" Ye Ting invited.
This invitation was not only out of curiosity but also because he wanted to try whether the so-called "plot" could be changed. He intended to start experimenting with Hermione.
Ye Ting planned to influence Hermione to enter Ravenclaw with him instead of Gryffindor. This would undoubtedly cause a huge change to the "plot," and the future might become unrecognizable as a result. Besides, he genuinely believed that Hermione's intelligence and eagerness to learn suited Ravenclaw better—hoping to gain an advantage by proximity was also one of his hidden intentions.
Upon hearing that Ye Ting was from the muggle world, Hermione immediately felt that their relationship had drawn closer. She happily accepted the invitation and sat opposite Ye Ting, and the two began to chat about the magical world that had suddenly appeared in their lives.
Obviously, Ye Ting, who had read the Harry Potter books, had far more knowledge in this area than Hermione. With his extraordinary learning ability, the young girl soon found it difficult to maintain her pride in this regard.
"I've met my match." Hermione thought to herself, but at the same time, she acknowledged that Ye Ting was indeed an outstanding peer in his studies.
At this moment, the compartment door was knocked again.
Ye Ting opened the door to find two girls slightly older than Hermione standing outside. One was a freckled girl with brown hair, and the other was a black-haired Oriental beauty (still in the making), looking like she had been forcibly brought along. Both were carrying luggage.
"Hello, my name is Marietta," the brown-haired girl introduced herself. "She's my good friend, Cho Chang, a Chinese descent. We saw you outside and noticed you were also Oriental, so we wanted to meet you."
"Hello." the black-haired girl nodded shyly at Ye Ting.
Ye Ting introduced himself and Hermione to Marietta, then switched to Chinese to speak to Cho Chang, "Hello, Cho Chang, my name is Ye Ting."
Upon hearing this, Cho Chang's mouth opened in surprise.
"Y-you... hello, I didn't expect you to be Chinese too." she looked somewhat delighted, feeling like she had encountered an old friend in a foreign land. The two happily conversed in Chinese.
