Marvel: I'm Hermione, from Hogwarts!

"Huh?"

Neville was taken aback by Hermione's request. After a moment's pause, he nodded repeatedly, "Oh, okay, sure."

Hermione stood up and moved to Neville's previous seat.

With a flick of her wand, she used a levitation spell to switch the positions of their dinner plates.

Harry, Ron, and the others didn't quite understand, but it wasn't the first time Hermione had done something peculiar, so they were used to it.

Don't ask; if you ask, it means she has her reasons.

"The rabbit's eyes are slippery, and the harp is silent, turning this clear water into fine wine!"

Seamus Finnigan, unaware of the change beside him, continued his incantation.

Across the table, Harry observed for a while, then turned to Ron and whispered:

"What is Seamus trying to do with that glass of water?"

By noon, Harry had watched for some time, unable to decipher Seamus's intentions, leaving him perplexed.

Did I choose the wrong house? Gryffindor is full of oddballs... Harry mused internally.

Ron covered his mouth to suppress a laugh, whispering, "He's trying to turn that glass of water into wine, but yesterday it turned into tea, and then..."

Boom!

Before Ron could finish, a loud explosion echoed.

Instantly, the Great Hall fell silent.

Everyone was startled, turning toward the source of the noise.

Seamus stood in a daze, his face blackened, with smoke rising from the cup before him.

Everyone: "..."

The next moment, laughter erupted throughout the hall.

Hermione couldn't contain her amusement, subtly covering her mouth, a smile playing at the corners of her eyes.

Though she'd known Seamus was one of Gryffindor's quirky members in her past life, seeing it firsthand was still surprising.

He truly seemed born for explosions.

He definitely had a talent for using the Exploding Charm beyond his magic level.

Fortunately, Hermione sensed the impending danger and moved away early.

Neville wasn't as lucky. Sitting closest to Seamus, he bore the brunt of the explosion, leaving half his face blackened and hair singed.

When Neville cast a look of resentment her way, Hermione averted her gaze, feigning ignorance.

Harry and the other nearby students who noticed the seat swap burst into laughter.

Classic Hermione.

Amid the laughter, the doors opened, and numerous owls flew in.

Owls darted through the hall, dropping packages onto the students below, creating a moment of chaos mixed with cheers.

It was the biweekly mail delivery.

During this time, parents sent various items to their children at Hogwarts.

From clothing and daily necessities to magical items.

Hermione and Harry, in particular, received the largest packages, clearly containing something special.

All eyes turned toward them.

As they hurried to open their packages, everyone was eager to see what they had received.

Soon, two brand-new brooms emerged.

"This, this is..." Harry was stunned.

Hermione was surprised as well. Wasn't this supposed to be Harry's new broom from Professor McGonagall? Why did she receive one too?

Oh, right, she joined the Quidditch team as well.

That explains it.

"Wow..." Ron exclaimed, "These aren't ordinary brooms; they're the latest Nimbus 2000!"

Emblazoned on the broom was "Nimbus 2000."

"Wow!!!" The young wizards marveled, their eyes brimming with envy.

These brooms were incredibly expensive, akin to supercars in the wizarding world.

Ron leaned down, caressing the broom with awe, unable to tear himself away.

Hermione knew one of Ron's dreams was to join the Quidditch team and win the championship. Even the vision he saw in the Mirror of Erised was of becoming captain and lifting the Quidditch Cup on the podium.

Unfortunately, he didn't have much Quidditch talent, so he could only watch Hermione and Harry play.

Though Harry was surprised by the gift, he remained grounded, furrowing his brow, "Who sent this?"

At the staff table, Professor McGonagall petted an owl, giving them a "you know" look.

Harry understood, smiling and nodding in acknowledgment, feeling a warmth spread through him.

Hermione stood gracefully and bowed toward the staff table, drawing admiring glances.

"What an elegant gesture!"

"The perfect wizarding bow—flawless. Is she really from a Muggle background?"

"Perhaps this is the difference between ordinary people and geniuses!"

Whispers of admiration filled the air.

...

The excitement over the Nimbus 2000s gradually subsided, and everyone resumed opening their packages.

Ron continued to admire Harry's broom, unable to let go, so Harry helped him open his package.

It turned out Ron received the latest volume of a newspaper.

Wizarding newspapers were similar to regular ones, but the photographs moved, offering a dynamic glimpse of events.

Harry opened the newspaper and began reading.

After a moment, he let out a soft "Hey."

Patting Ron, Harry pointed to an article, "Someone broke into Gringotts!"

Ron's attention snapped back, eyes wide with concern.

Gringotts, the only wizard bank, run by goblins, specialized in safeguarding wizards' wealth.

The Weasleys, with their limited resources, were naturally anxious about their modest savings being stolen.

"Don't worry, it wasn't your vault," Harry reassured quickly. "It was vault 713, but the contents were removed before the break-in, so nothing was lost."

"Eh?" Ron finally realized, "Isn't that where you and Hagrid went?"

Harry murmured, "Before coming to Hogwarts, Hagrid took me to get my parents' money, and he visited vault 713 to retrieve something, but told me not to mention it to anyone... Oh no!"

Harry quickly covered his mouth, looking around to ensure no one heard.

Hermione: "..."

Maybe keep your mouth shut next time?

But... After two months at Hogwarts, the main storyline was finally beginning.

Hermione knew what Hagrid retrieved.

The Philosopher's Stone.

An alchemical masterpiece created by Nicolas Flamel centuries ago, its primary purpose was to brew an elixir granting immortality!

Typically stored in Gringotts by Flamel's friend Dumbledore, it had been moved after receiving word of a planned theft.

As for its current location...
