20: Neville

The sign on the train read: Hogwarts Express, 11 o'clock.

The two looked back and saw that the place where the ticket gate used to be had now become a wrought iron archway with the words: Platform 9 and 3/4 written on it.

The thick smoke from the steam locomotive lingered above the chattering crowd, and cats of various colors darted around under people's feet.

Amid the buzzing of the crowd and the noise of dragging heavy luggage, owls also hooted harshly, one calling the other.

"Ivan, I'm a little nervous."

Hermione kept looking around, her attention mainly focused on the little wizards who were similar to them.

The little witch was very worried that her magic level could not keep up with the teaching at Hogwarts, and she was also afraid that the little wizards from wizard families would look down on her.

"You have to believe in yourself, Hermione."

Ivan smiled and said, "You are very good, definitely not worse than them."

Ivan said this from the bottom of his heart. The half-month of getting along with each other allowed Ivan to see Hermione's talent.

In his estimation, if Hermione's talent is revealed in the form of attributes, except for the soul, mind, and physique, which cannot be judged.

Hermione's best attribute should be thinking attribute.

The little witch's memory and logical analysis ability are extremely amazing. Even Ivan, who has 3 points of thinking attribute, can't compare with her.

From this, it can be inferred that Hermione's thinking attribute is likely to have reached 4 points.

You know, reaching 3 points of attribute is outstanding, which means one in a million.

And like Hermione, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is rare to see someone like her in the magic world for decades.

'Except for thinking, Hermione's magic power should not be high, but only reached 2 points of excellence. '

However, Ivan thinks that Hermione's magic talent should also be in the forefront among the excellent ones, close to 3, but not reaching the level.

Then there is the attribute of will. Ivan thinks Hermione's self-discipline is amazing.

Think about it, a person who can spend all his time on studying and thinks that doing exercises, taking exams, and reciting are fun.

Ivan just wants to say that her perseverance is so terrifying.

Ivan can spend time learning magic, but Hermione is a super student who can memorize every book she has read.

Anyway, Ivan can never do Hermione's level.

Even if he has two lives, Ivan's willpower in his previous life is not that strong.

Therefore, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with not being as good as Hermione in terms of will.

In addition, the attribute is fixed, and it will not happen that the will of 12-year-old Hermione (Hermione's enrollment age is 12 years old) is 3, and the willpower increases after adulthood.

3 points of Will refers to growth, not the current value.

For example, suppose Hermione and Professor McGonagall both have a thinking attribute of 4, but the latter's thinking ability is obviously stronger than the former.

Similarly, Ivan's magic power is 5, but he can only say that he is stronger than the 11-year-old Dumbledore.

'Thinking 4, Magic 2, Will 3. '

Such attributes have surpassed most wizards, and Hermione in the original book finally became the Minister of Magic, which is a manifestation of her excellent talent.

"But I'm still a little worried."

Hermione began to recite the textbooks she had read before, so as to make herself forget the terrible future of being crushed by other little wizards.

This scene made Ivan chuckle a little.

"Let's go, let's find a seat."

Ivan and Hermione pushed the cart forward on the platform, ready to find an empty compartment.

The first few carriages were already crowded with students, some of them leaned out of the window to talk to their families, and some were playing in the seats.

Soon, the two found a compartment with only a round-faced boy sitting in it.

"Excuse me, can we sit here?"

Ivan used the levitation spell to make the trunks float behind him. Hermione poked her head out from behind him and looked at the boy in front of her carefully.

Well, he doesn't look very smart.

"Yes, you can."

The boy sat inside shyly, lowering his head and looking very shy.

"Ivan Ambrosius, this is my friend Hermione."

"Hermione Granger."

After the two sat down, they introduced themselves.

"My name is Neville."

Neville said timidly: "Neville Longbottom."

"Hello."

Ivan said to himself that the boy in front of him was the hidden savior in the original Harry Potter book, the Gryffindor Sword's chosen one.

Thinking so, Ivan manipulated the gift to let them float to a high place by themselves, and piled his own cage, Hermione's owl and Crookshanks' cage in the corner of the carriage.

"Amazing."

Neville was stunned by this scene: "How did you do it?"

"I mean..."

Neville: "You can do magic!"

"???"

Hermione was confused, she asked in confusion: "Are you from the Muggle world like us?"

"No, I, my family are all wizards."

Neville's voice was not loud, he looked at Ivan, his eyes full of envy and admiration: "But I, I can't do magic."

According to Neville's description, his talent was very poor, which made many members of his family think that he was not qualified to go to Hogwarts.

Once, Neville's uncle threw him out of the window thinking he was a squib, but he bounced up by himself without causing any harm, which made his family very happy.

"When they received the admission letter from Hogwarts, grandma and others were very happy."

Neville has a good personality.

Ivan and Hermione quickly became friends with him, and then began to share each other's experiences and family information.

Neville had no aversion to the fact that the two were born in Muggle world.

Although the Longbottom family is pure blood, they are not opposed to half-blood and Muggle wizards.

"Ivan, you are amazing."

This is the nth time Neville has said this. Hermione asked: "Ivan is of course amazing, but haven't you seen a young witch or wizard as smart as Ivan?"

In Hermione's opinion, children from wizard families must be very amazing.

They must have learned magic since childhood, and each of them is a knowledgeable genius.

Well, except Neville.

According to Neville, he doesn't know any magic.

Hermione thinks this should be an exception.

"I've never seen it."

The Longbottom family also has relatives and friends, but Neville has never seen a little wizard like Ivan who has mastered magic before entering school.

Especially when Ivan casts a spell, it seems that he doesn't even use a wand.

"How did you do it just now?"

Neville asked curiously: "I heard from my grandmother that you need a wand to cast magic, but even after getting a wand, I don't know how to cast magic."
