In Ye Ting's eyes, besides Professor Quirrell from Defense Against the Dark Arts, the professors at Hogwarts were undoubtedly all highly accomplished.
Even the gloomy and awkward Snape was, in his view, worthy of being called a master of Potions.
The only two subjects he found hard to accept were History of Magic and Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Ye Ting felt that History of Magic was of little use to him. Memorizing the dates of goblin rebellions and the establishment of magical laws seemed meaningless.
As for Professor Quirrell, the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, he was not only stupid but also had ulterior motives, making it impossible for Ye Ting to learn anything from him.
So whenever these two classes came around, he would skip them and hide in the library.
Professor Binns, the History of Magic instructor, was oblivious to this—the nearly thousand-year-old ghost had a limited understanding of students and had never pronounced their names correctly.
Professor Quirrell, on the other hand, was seething but dared not speak up. He was a cowardly person, and with Voldemort residing in his head, he was constantly paranoid and afraid of causing trouble.
Besides studying, the other aspects of life at Hogwarts were quite amusing, such as the staircases.
There were a total of one hundred and forty-two staircases. Some were wide and spacious; some were narrow, small, and shaky; some led to different places every Friday; and some had steps that suddenly disappeared halfway up, requiring you to remember where to jump over.
In addition, there were many doors here. They wouldn't open for you unless you politely asked them or pushed the right spot. Some doors weren't real doors at all but solid walls that looked like doors.
It was difficult to remember where everything was because everything seemed to be constantly moving.
Portraits of people were constantly visiting each other, and even armor could walk.
For Ye Ting, seeing all this on film was completely different from experiencing it in real life. These moving staircases, which seemed so interesting in movies and novels, caused him many troubles in his daily activities.
He felt that anyone with a slight tendency to get lost would be utterly bewildered at Hogwarts.
The people in the portraits didn't affect him much, but as a polite person, constantly greeting the portraits was tiring.
However, the person who frightened the little wizards the most in the original story—caretaker Filch and his old cat, Mrs. Norris, didn't cause him any trouble.
On the one hand, he didn't cause any trouble; on the other hand, the presence of Himari made Mrs. Norris keep her distance from Ye Ting.
Himari, as a cat demon, was like the boss among all the cats at Hogwarts. All the cats, even those with Kneazle blood, listened to her.
When Ye Ting was attending classes or hanging out in the library, Himari sometimes wandered around the castle by herself. No one would harm her: the students loved her, even the mischievous twins, George and Fred, and even Peeves, the most troublesome poltergeist, would instinctively stay away from her, probably because she was a cat demon.
So, people often saw a small white cat leading a group of cats of different sizes and colors parading through the castle, becoming a new wonder at Hogwarts.
Sometimes, even Oliana would ride on her back and stroll with her.
Besides the above, there was one thing at Hogwarts that Ye Ting paid the most attention to.
It was something he both looked forward to and struggled with.
That was broomstick flying.
Actually, Ye Ting had high expectations for Madam Hooch's Flying lessons. After all, flying had been a long-held dream of mankind. He had always thought about flying freely in the sky one day.
Given his current magical abilities, flying was still an unrealistic dream—this was also because the world of Harry Potter didn't have direct flying-related magic.
But right now, there was a shortcut to achieve this goal: broomsticks.
To Ye Ting, flying was cool, but riding a broomstick was too silly.
How cool sword-riding was, how silly broomstick-riding was. That was his view.
But Hermione didn't think so. Perhaps due to cultural differences, even Cho Chang, a Chinese girl raised in England, didn't think riding a broomstick was a big deal.
Since the news of Neville breaking his leg in flying class spread to Ravenclaw, the "Know-It-All" Miss Granger had become even more nervous about the upcoming Flying lessons. She borrowed a book called "Quidditch Through the Ages" from the library and read it carefully several times.
In her spare time, she kept repeating some of the flying instructions from the book and pestered Cho, who excelled in flying skills, to repeatedly describe what it felt like to ride a broomstick. Even Cho, with her good temper, was getting annoyed.
The other little wizards were also uneasy. As the Flying lessons approached, more and more of them started talking about flying and Quidditch.
Among the first-years, those from wizard families would boast about how they played with broomsticks during the holidays, while those from muggle families could only envy them.
