Yeah! Here's the new chapter!

________________________________________________________________________________________

The rest of my school days were spent with me training my martial arts, magic, and Quidditch, which now occupied a small part of my time where I also tried to get to know my teammates better. I also spend time with my friends from all years and houses, which continues to grow as I always talk to everyone.

In addition to training, playing and talking, I also study, and that's why I kept myself firmly as the smartest first year, pushing Granger into second place. Was she a little happy? But also very angry and jealous about it, but if even the teachers support who is she to disagree?

I'm not saying she's not smart, quite the contrary, Granger really is one of the smartest students of our year, but she's very limited and I think the teachers noticed that too.

While I study because I like magic and because I want to get to know it better, Granger studies out of obligation and because she wants to do well in class. She thinks notes are more important than truly understanding magic.

She writes essays as if she were dictating everything that was in the book... In fact, she writes the essays putting everything that was in the book... in minute detail.

The teachers read that and realize that she didn't really understand the lesson or the spell, but did what you're not supposed to do in magic, which is to follow everything without intention. Even McGonagall who has a little appreciation on her can't help but be disappointed to see how closed-minded she was.

But what really makes me sad and angry is that Granger uses magic as if it were a tool, something that is there to serve her.

And for me, who sees magic in its purest form and feels it throughout my body and around the world, seeing her using magic like that makes me understand why the purebloods don't like muggleborns. They are basically committing a heresy!

And if that wasn't enough, I even heard from Myrtle that Granger usually stops by the bathroom complaining about the barbaric and precarious customs of the wizarding world, and it makes me wonder if she's an idiot and the title of smartest witch is just a farce.

If I go to another country, I will obviously follow the rules and laws of that country. So why does she, a person who has so much "common sense", not understand that this is a different world, with different rules and laws?

And that would be acceptable if she were the only one, but the problem is that a lot of other muggleborns think so, it's just that Granger is the most vocal... Or should I say the one with the greatest "sense of honor" and "willingness to do right".

And that's because she hasn't started yet with SPEW or the Buckbeak case, which even though it's a good thing, was still done in a stupid way.

But let's leave that aside. I still have to talk about how I am in class.

Because I'm at the top of the rankings it's pretty obvious that I'm getting good grades. So far I haven't gotten anything below O, and I've even gotten an O+ in spells. And I didn't even know that note existed! Apparently, after O comes O+ and right after the O++, and it seems that there were very few people who got these grades, and those who did became masters of the subject. For example Professor McGonagall who got an O+ in Transfiguration and Professor Flitwick who has an O+ in spells.

Other well-known people who took this note were Headmaster Dumbledore and Tom Riddle, now known as Voldemort. The two got at least three O+ in different subjects and almost managed to get an O++.

And now you might be wondering, how did I get an O+ if I'm a first year. The answer is simple, getting an O+ in an essay or on a test in the first year is not the same as getting an O+ in OWL's or NEWT's, which is where the aforementioned did.

I'll definitely try to get more O+ than the Headmaster and Voldemort, and maybe I'll even get an O++...

But continuing...

I haven't found any lessons so far challenging, and the only one I'm not enjoying as much as the others is History of Magic, and that's not the subject's fault, but the teacher's.

Professor Binns is so tedious and boring that I've even slept in one of his classes, and for someone with a lot of stamina and energy to spare, sleeping in the middle of a class is a weird thing. It felt like I was being hypnotized into falling asleep.

Professor Binns' voice is a weapon in itself...

He possibly can kill someone with just one speech and his boredom...

I'm also having a bit of a complication with Potions, but that's because Professor Snape is actually a bit biased and cranky in class. And I also feel like I'm not learning much in potions, as I've limited myself to learning what's in the books.

I don't have much of a clue when it comes to making potions, even though I understand well about the ingredients and the methods and stages of making a potion. But the good thing is that I know a pair of twins who can teach me and they're really good at potions, even if they don't show it in class.

The twins may not look it, but they're very smart, and I'm pretty sure they're better than their other siblings when it comes to magic, and we can tell from their pranks.

Anyway. While we're talking about classes, I happened to find out why all wizards use quills to write. And it's a much more plausible reason than keeping traditions.

...Well, keeping the tradition is one of the reasons. But the other one makes a lot more sense...

~Flashback no Jutsu~

"Hmm, doing this Potions essay sucks," I grumbled, scribbling the sheet of parchment in front of me.

I was in the library doing the homework that the professors gave us, and having to write about the uses and functions of a unicorn's hull for cosmetic products isn't much fun.

As I was writing my essay, I decided that for some reason, probably boredom, that I was going to use my Magic Vision.

As soon as I activated Magic Vision, I noticed that my scroll and ink had magic flowing through them, and I started looking confused.

"Oh! So that's why!" I said to myself after thinking for a while.

It seems that the reason that quills and scrolls are still used is not only to maintain tradition, but also because they have remnants of magic that allow them to last longer, and with that a book can last decades and even centuries without wearing out.

"This brings up a lot of new possibilities…" I said, scratching my chin in thought.

I think the scrolls and inks have magic because the materials that were used to make them were magical. But with that, maybe in the future I'll try using magic trees to produce paper, and I can also think of a way to produce a pen using magical organic materials as well.

This can make me a lot of money...

~End of Flashback no Jutsu~

Well... those were all the subjects related to my academic that I found interesting to talk about. And now that it was all over, I just needed to prepare myself for one of the most important events in the franchise...

End.

(End AN: I was fiddling with my cell phone looking at Twitter when I saw an interesting discussion taking place on this social network that is not at all toxic.

In the discussion people were 'debating' whether or not Hermione is a highly overrated character. What do you think about it?

I particularly know that she, at least in the movies, was meant to be very perfect, overshadowing Ron, so I can partially agree with her being overrated. But I also know the reason she's overrated is because of the fans, who don't know how to like a character without deifying them.

As I've said many times to my friends: It's not the work that's bad, it's the fans that ruin it.

Hope you enjoyed the chapters!)
