"Oh, who did this?" Professor Flitwick asked loudly, but it was evident he wasn't angry.
"It was me, Professor," Ye Ting raised his hand from the crowd. "I thought it was just a joke. Apparently, it's a genius charm, at least much more complex than the Levitation Charm."
He muttered a Vanishing Spell, and the buffalo, which was ready to attack the podium, instantly disappeared from the classroom. Then, he cast a Reparo, and the desks and chairs, which had been knocked into disarray by the buffalo, were restored to their original state in a flash.
"Nice charm," Professor Flitwick nodded at him with admiration. "Although it sounds like a joke, the Buffalo Charm is indeed a remarkable spell. But let's not talk about that now."
He clapped his hands and announced the start of the practice.
The scene was chaotic for a moment. Harry Potter and Seamus Finnigan were in a group, waving and twitching their wands repeatedly, but the feather they should have sent into the air remained motionless on the floor.
In frustration, Seamus poked the feather with his wand, and it caught fire—Harry had to use his hat to put it out.
At another table, Ron's luck seemed no better.
"Wingardium Leviosa!" he shouted loudly, waving his two long arms like a windmill.
"You're saying it wrong." Hermione said bluntly from the side.
Under Ye Ting's guidance, she succeeded after just two attempts. When she saw Ron's clumsy attempts nearby, she couldn't resist giving him some well-meaning advice again.
"It's Wing-gar-dium Levi-o-sa. You need to pronounce that 'gar' part long and clearly." she instructed.
"If you're so clever, why don't you try it yourself?" Ron growled.
Hermione rolled up her sleeves, waved her wand, and said, "Wingardium Leviosa!"
The feather rose from the table and hovered four feet above Hermione's head.
However, Ron's reaction to Hermione's advice was sarcastic.
"Oh, dear 'Know-It-All' Miss, why don't you stay with your equally genius boyfriend?"
Hermione's face darkened immediately.
After class, Ye Ting walked to the library with his books, but Hermione didn't follow him.
He assumed Hermione had left for her own reasons—it wasn't the first time—so Ye Ting didn't probe further.
...
On the eve of Halloween, Hogwarts' Great Hall was redecorated.
When Ye Ting entered the dining hall in the evening, he was greeted by a dazzling array of Halloween decorations.
A thousand bats flew around the walls and ceilings, and another thousand, like low-hanging clouds, circled above the tables, causing the candle flames inside the pumpkins to flicker.
Delicious food suddenly appeared on the golden plates, just like at the feast at the beginning of the school year.
Unlike the other young wizards who couldn't wait to enjoy the feast, Ye Ting walked around the long table, asking people if they had seen Hermione Granger. A hungry Himari followed him.
However, everyone said they hadn't seen her, except for Ravenclaw's Lisa Turpin, who mentioned seeing Hermione in the hallway near the bathroom.
Upon hearing this news, Ye Ting immediately thought of the plot in the original story—Hermione had encountered a troll in that hallway.
Even though Hermione was now much stronger under his guidance than in the original story, she was still no match for a troll—at least with her current magical power and spells, she couldn't do anything to resist the troll's magical resistance.
Ye Ting immediately ran out of the dining hall, but halfway there, he suddenly saw Professor Quirrell rushing into the dining hall. His large scarf was askance on his head, and his face was full of terror.
Everyone stared at him as he walked to Professor Dumbledore's chair, leaned on the table, and panted, "Troll—in the dungeon—thought you should know."
After saying that, he collapsed onto the floor and fainted.
The dining hall immediately turned into a chaos. Professor Dumbledore had to make his wand produce several piercing fireworks to silence everyone.
"Prefects," he said in a low voice, "take your house students to their dormitories immediately!"
On the Ravenclaw side, Penelope calmly gathered the young eagles and lined them up towards the tower. Only Ye Ting left silently, unnoticed by anyone except Cho Chang and Penelope herself.
When he confirmed that there was no one around, Ye Ting took out his figurine-sized Orianna from his pocket and placed her on the ground.
"Now take me to the third-floor bathroom," he said anxiously to Orianna. "It's urgent. Please, hurry!"
"Understood, Father." Orianna cheerfully muttered a spell—of course, it was a spell from the magic of Valoran, used to "dispel" magic. Her golem instantly glowed, and a purple magical wave was emitted towards Orianna herself.
After being hit by the magical wave, the shrinking charm on Orianna was immediately lifted, and she returned to her normal size.
She picked up Ye Ting, who was taller than her, in her arms and moved at high speed in a levitating state.
