The first class was Transfiguration.
Due to the staffing issues with the school's professors, it was usual for two houses to take the same class together.
Today, Slytherin and Gryffindor are in class together!
When William Li arrived at the classroom, most of the students were already seated.
"It's William Li!!!"
Since William Li's name had spread throughout the school during breakfast, the Gryffindor students also knew of him, and after he entered, they focused all their attention on him.
Having experienced his reputation firsthand, the Slytherin students stood up and looked at William Li with fanatical and respectful gazes.
Feeling these looks, William Li nodded to those around him in a friendly manner, then gestured for the Slytherin students to sit down.
Finally, he politely saluted the cat sitting on the podium at the time.
Seeing this!
A glimmer of human-like intelligence flashed in the cat's eyes on the podium.
But this scene puzzled the students around him.
What does William Li mean by saluting the cat?
However, Li William didn't explain anything to his classmates but went straight to his seat, next to Hermione.
Hermione's expression changed when she saw Li William sit next to her!
Initially, she thought that after entering the magic school, she could completely escape Li William's shadow.
Unexpectedly, Li William had also entered the magic school.
Later!
She also felt that after being sorted into different houses, she would have very little to do with Li William, thus escaping the competitive shadow he cast.
But who would have thought that the two houses would actually take classes together!
The worst part was that Li William sat next to her again and became her deskmate!!!
"What's wrong, are you not happy to see me?" Li William looked at Hermione's expression and joked.
He could guess why Hermione looked troubled.
It was nothing more than them being deskmates again, and the shadow he cast before was too large, making her react this way.
To this!
"No, very happy!" Hermione replied with a complex expression.
This was also true.
Although she did not want to sit at the same table with Li William, she felt an inexplicable joy and peace of mind when she saw him next to her.
Perhaps
she had already gotten used to the days when Li William was around!
"That's good!"
After Li William said this, he smiled and added, "We will sit at the same table again in the future. I hope that your grades can surpass mine at Hogwarts!"
Here it comes, here it comes again!
Hearing Li William's words, she closed her eyes with a pained expression.
Before the age of six, comparing grades was her hobby.
But after the age of six, when she met Li William, it became her nightmare.
As soon as Li William said this, she knew that she would not be able to sleep well in the future.
Unless she was willing to give up surpassing Li William academically.
But!
If she gave up, would she still be herself?
After a while!
Hermione recovered.
Suddenly, she thought of something and asked, "By the way, I heard that you defeated more than a hundred Slytherins last night?"
"That's right!" Li William nodded.
"How could you do such a dangerous thing? What if you got hurt?" Hermione couldn't help but question him, a trace of concern flashing in her eyes.
"Isn't it okay?" Li William shrugged and replied with a smile.
"It's okay. If something happens, it will be too late to regret!"
After Hermione said this, she commanded, "Anyway, you are not allowed to do it again!"
"Okay, okay, okay, I promise you!"
After Li William agreed, he stretched out his hand and tousled Hermione's hair.
Although Hermione's tone was either questioning or commanding, which was unpleasant, he could still hear the concern in it.
"Don't do that, you messed up my hair!"
Hermione swatted Li William's hand away angrily.
And just when the two were chatting, the class time arrived!
The next second!
The cat that was still on the podium suddenly jumped down and transformed into Professor McGonagall.
The cat on the podium turned out to be Professor McGonagall?
The students present, especially those who were Muggle-born, were extremely surprised when they witnessed this transformation.
At the same time, they also thought back to the scene when Li William had saluted the cat at the beginning.
Suddenly!
They realized that Li William might have recognized Professor McGonagall right from the start.
"Are they all here?"
Professor McGonagall glanced at the students in front of her and asked lightly.
The students looked around subconsciously.
Finally!
"Professor, Ron and Harry haven't arrived yet!" Hermione raised her hand to report.
"Yes!"
Professor McGonagall looked at the empty seats and said faintly, "Everyone, take out the beginner's guide to Transfiguration and copy the first page. When they arrive, we will start the formal class!"
After that, she transformed into a cat again and returned to the podium.
The students began copying as instructed by Professor McGonagall.
Soon after!
"Whoop whoosh!"
Accompanied by two heavy gasps, two figures quickly rushed into the classroom.
It was Ron and Harry!
"Fortunately, the professor hasn't started yet, otherwise it would be terrible!" Ron said somewhat gratefully.
But just as he finished speaking!
The cat transformed by Professor McGonagall jumped down from the podium again, then reverted to her human form and appeared in front of Ron and Harry.
"Classmate Ron, classmate Harry, maybe I should turn you into clocks!" Professor McGonagall said with a stern face.
"Professor, we got lost!" Harry quickly explained.
"Then I should turn you into a map!" Professor McGonagall responded without hesitation.
Now!
Ron and Harry were speechless.
However, Professor McGonagall did not dwell on it. After giving them a lecture, she said, "Okay, I don't think you two are so lost that you can't find your seats? Sit down quickly!"
When they heard this, they quickly glanced around the classroom.
After finding the only two empty seats, the two quickly returned to their seats and sat down.
William Li, who had observed the whole process, wore a thoughtful expression.
Hermione noticed his expression and asked instinctively, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm wondering if Ron has been taking it too easy lately? He's even late for class!" William Li said.
The most important thing is that he had not contributed any farming value to him in the past two days.
How can this be done?
Hermione asked doubtfully, "What does it have to do with you whether he is late or not?"
"My mother and his mother are good friends. Before he entered school, his mother specially told me to take good care of Ron and make sure he studies hard, preferably studying until after ten o'clock every night!"
After William Li said this, he feigned sadness and added, "But now, on the first day of school, he's late. How can I fulfill my aunt's trust?"
Listening to these words, Hermione instinctively felt that something was wrong.
But she couldn't pinpoint exactly what.
Then!
She asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Of course, I have to encourage him to study properly!" Li William smiled, and it was very unnerving.
Seeing his expression, Hermione couldn't help but feel a chill.
Based on her knowledge of William Li, when he shows this expression, someone is in trouble.
And that unlucky person?
Who else but Ron?
For a moment, she couldn't help but feel sympathy for Ron.
