“Achoo!”
The young girl, who had just celebrated her eleventh birthday, lay bored on her bed and sneezed.
Her slightly upturned nose was rubbed mercilessly, and two strands of silver hair on her head stood up defiantly.
Without even thinking, the only person who would be talking about her at this time was the little loli Hermione next door.
Who could have imagined that she had originally fled to the Muggle world to escape trouble, only to coincidentally live next door to Hermione, one of the original golden trio?
In order to live out this life as a peaceful salted fish, she had stayed cooped up at home for several years, relying entirely on home tutors for her education.
As it turned out, the only time she went out, she was spotted by the young female lead, and by a stroke of luck, she was forced to awaken a system…
She just wanted to slack off in the Muggle world for her whole life; she didn’t want to enter the dangerous wizarding world and trade spells with some noseless freak at all!
Aren’t pistols and cannons better?
When a missile flies over, no matter what kind of Wizard you are, you’re all gone!
Why must she be forced to hold a little wooden stick and learn how to poke people!
Looking at the information displayed on the light blue screen in front of her, she couldn’t help but feel a wave of worry again.
[The delicious girl system is continuing to serve you.]
[Host: Kate Shafik]
[Class: Wizard (Unawakened)]
[Charisma: 7]
[Strength: 4]
[Agility: 6]
[Spirit: 5]
[Vitality: 5]
[Luck: 1]
[magic Power: Unknown]
[Stacked Ability 1: Top Student Talent: Level 7]
[Stacked Ability 2: Magic Resistance: Level 6]
[System Main Quest: Refuse the invitation to enroll at Hogwarts.]
That is to say… there’s definitely something wrong with this system.
It’s bad enough the name is so strange, but even the system startup sound is… unique.
Kate would never forget that rainy day she met Hermione and her mother.
She had originally wanted to act profound to make a certain brown-haired little loli keep her distance.
But she was only halfway through her performance when Hermione took the initiative to pull her into the bathroom.
The moment the original female lead’s hand touched hers, the screen in front of her eyes immediately went into garbled code.
Then a cheerful system voice rang in her head.
[Ta-da!]
[Congratulations to the Host for choosing the delicious girl system! This system will help the Host work hard to become even more delicious!]
Listen to that, what kind of nonsense is this.
She thought she had transmigrated into the world of Hannibal again.
[This system aims to make the Host more wonderful and flavorful. Please strictly follow the system’s instructions to complete tasks.]
Listen to that, what kind of… whatever.
Mindful that there was a young female lead next to her at the time, Kate managed to refrain from cursing out loud.
However, she still shut Hermione outside the bathroom.
While turning on the shower, she listened to the system’s noisy chatter in her ear.
[The system is opening the Newbie Gift Pack. The Host can choose one of the following.]
[Charisma +1]
[Luck +1]
[Hermione Granger Limited Top Student Talent: Growth-type talent, can be upgraded as favorability with the limited character increases. Once closed, it will not be opened again.]
This introduction… is really biased, hey…
Although speechless, Kate patiently chose the last option.
Then, a stacked ability was added to her pitifully low personal attributes.
Oh, so even if she copied the abilities of that noseless man, she wouldn’t be able to trade spells with him.
What more needs to be said?
Isn’t it better to just continue being a Slacker?
So…
Kate ran away with the portkey the Old Butler gave her.
In the following years, she did try to distance herself from that enthusiastic little brunette girl, but it was just too tempting!
The Top Student Talent was just too tempting!
Although the initial level was only 3, it had already boosted her comprehension while reading by several levels, even for someone who was an academic failure in her previous life!
God knows how much effort her butler, old Rand, had to expend just to get her to read more books related to the magical world.
To repay the hardship of an old man taking care of a little brat like her, Kate could only reluctantly become close to Hermione.
And reluctantly level up the Top Student Talent to level 7.
She also copied the Old Butler’s Magic Resistance along the way.
Over the years, the system mostly functioned as a character stats panel, only occasionally popping up with level-up notifications when she was studying with little Hermione.
Just when even Kate thought she could live a peaceful, Slacker life in the Muggle world forever, an owl landed by her window.
“Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore (Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. of Wizards) Dear Miss Shafiq: We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins on 1 September. We await your owl by no later than 31 July. Yours sincerely, Minerva McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress”
Kate’s hands were trembling as she read the letter.
It’s here, it’s here.
The letter that millions of children and hundreds of millions of adults in the real world wanted to receive was now in her hands.
For someone who had also read the original novels several times in her previous life, not being excited was simply impossible.
But thinking about the things she might encounter after enrollment, Kate couldn’t really feel happy.
Lord Voldemort, the second Dark Lord.
Although netizens in her past life loved to mockingly call him the Noseless Freak or the British Countryside Raver…
But when truly living under the shadow of something more terrifying than a terrorist, no one could face it lightly.
In this life, her name was Kate Shafiq.
The Shafiq Family was also one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight pure-blood families, absolutely prestigious, with wealth piled mountain-high and sea-deep.
Yet, such a prominent family gradually dwindled during the years of resistance against Lord Voldemort, and now only she remained.
Because she transmigrated at a slightly later time node, she didn’t have deep impressions or feelings for those so-called family members.
But watching the number of people at the family dinner table grow smaller every day inevitably cast a shadow over her.
So when the butler suggested taking her away from the wizarding world to lay low for a while, she agreed without a second thought.
And now they wanted her to go back…
Kate took a deep breath, looked at the letter in her hand, and then glanced at the system’s main quest in the task bar.
Damn system, I’ll listen to you this time!
Barefoot, she stomped downstairs to the butler’s bedroom, knocked hard on the door, and blurted out the moment it opened: ‘I’m not going to Hogwarts!’
‘I am sorry, Miss Shafiq, that the first thing I hear from you upon our meeting is such a statement.’
Kate:???
