In fact, unlike what Ye Ting had imagined, Orianna's appearance caused quite a stir.
After all, as a figurine, she was too exquisite and beautiful.
All three of Ye Ting's dormmates wanted to take a closer look at her, and Michael Corner even tried to hold her in his hands to play with her, but he was rejected without hesitation. Orianna shyly crawled under Ye Ting's cloak and into the pocket of his coat, only exposing her head to "observe secretly."
From then on, Ye Ting became the most popular student in Ravenclaw—among both boys and girls.
The boys lined up to catch a glimpse of Orianna, while the girls were captivated by his appearance and the adorable Himari (transnote: This is a character-specific name that doesn't have a direct English equivalent, so it's kept in pinyin with explanation context).
Whether in the Ravenclaw common room or at the dining table, he was always surrounded by people, chatting noisily and making him feel quite annoyed.
However, there were exceptions—Hermione often moved with him, euphemistically calling it studying together, and Cho Chang oscillated between her original friend circle and his side, but these two girls never annoyed him.
Another person, the beautiful prefect Penelope, did not join the crowd as onlookers around him.
Although she didn't hide her good impression of him, she never did anything that made him dislike her.
Due to constant harassment, Ye Ting had to put on a cold face most of the time to discourage strangers from approaching.
The result of this was that he was portrayed as a standoffish figure in most people's eyes. Both boys and girls finally stopped crowding around him, but ironically, Ye Ting's popularity among girls soared even higher.
These girls even called him a "god-like figure" and a "charmer."
Whether these people had Stockholm Syndrome or were masochists, he didn't know.
On the boys' side, so far, only his three dormmates had truly become his friends.
Especially after learning that he was a muggle-born orphan, the Slytherin boys began consciously excluding him.
"You're just a good-for-nothing mudblood," Draco Malfoy once evaluated him to his face. The consequence of his actions was being hung upside down from the corridor ceiling by the "Levicorpus" incantation for the entire recess, until Professor Snape, who had heard the news, rescued him after class.
As a result, Ravenclaw lost ten points, but no one blamed it on Ye Ting. The little wizards of Gryffindor, on the other hand, had an even greater fondness for him.
But for Ye Ting, all these welcomes or rejections were meaningless. His main goal, besides studying the "plot," was to learn magic.
In fact, to the professors, Ye Ting was definitely a good student. Whether it was Transfiguration, Charms, or Potions, he could perfectly complete the teachers' tasks, and no classroom question could stump him.
Of course, there was also the famous "Know-It-All" Miss Granger. This inseparable pair of overachievers were deeply loved by the teachers, and Ravenclaw's house points had never risen so fast.
They were also regulars at Madam Pince's. After class, the two of them would always come to the library together to continue studying, and Cho Chang would also study with them until they finished their homework.
For Ye Ting, this kind of studying reminded him of his high school days, which made him feel a little nostalgic.
He had always been a patient person when it came to studying, and when the learning content was not the slightly boring high school curriculum but interesting magic, he couldn't wait to spend all his time on it.
Even Hermione couldn't match his enthusiasm for learning, and coupled with his natural learning talent, Ye Ting's progress soon reached the level of higher grades.
Of course, his learning process was not without obstacles.
In his opinion, the writing of technical and academic books in the magical world was quite unreasonable.
All the authors wrote quite capriciously when writing books. They would spend large paragraphs of flowery and useless rhetoric for description, even mixing in long sections of psychological descriptions and records of their own actions, making it feel like it was not a magic book but the author's fictional autobiography.
In addition, the masters of the magical world were quite arbitrary in choosing professional vocabulary. In their academic circles, there was no such thing as a scientific name, and most academic terms were based on conventions.
For the same magic, different authors described it differently and quite arbitrarily, often confusing people.
They also didn't have terms like professional names or academic language. As a result, Ye Ting often spent quite a long time organizing knowledge after reading a book—because he needed to eliminate 80% of the useless rhetoric and diaries, and also compare other books that might mention overlapping content, because it often happened that two books mentioned the same spell but used different names and descriptions.
Then, he would record his findings in more "professional" and concise language.
Now, less than a week into the school year, he had already filled half a notebook.
He believed that his notes, recorded through his self-constructed professional vocabulary system using the methods of academic papers, were more concise and effective than these magic books.
He estimated that when he completed his goal of reading all the books in the Ravenclaw common room library and the Hogwarts library within his seven years at school, his notes would be enough to comprehensively cover most of the knowledge system of the magical world.
