Chapter 1 Hermione Granger
Chapter 1 Hermione Granger
Qin Yu always thought of himself as just an ordinary person and never imagined that one day he would do something earth-shattering.
Until he saw an out-of-control truck crash into the roadside, where a terrified child was standing.
Without thinking twice, Qin Yu pushed the child away with all his might, and then the out-of-control truck crashed into him like a cannonball.
Then, he felt himself fly up, and then his consciousness fell into boundless darkness.
……
When Qin Yu woke up again, he found himself lying in a room with large glass windows and plenty of sunlight.
Looking at the room's furnishings, Qin Yu felt that it had a European or British style, and a very retro feel.
Clearly, this is not a hospital.
He opened his somewhat bewildered eyes, blinked, and tried hard to recall what had just happened.
Just then, a little girl shouted in English, "Daddy, Mommy! He's awake! He's awake!"
The voice was tense yet tinged with joy.
Oh my god, am I in someone else's house? I was clearly hit and thrown into the air! Why didn't anyone take me to the hospital?
Before Qin Yu could speak, the little girl next to him asked a series of questions: "Hello, what's your name? Do you remember what happened to you? Where do you live?"
Since Qin Yu was already severely nearsighted, he subconsciously reached for his glasses, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find them. He rubbed his eyes, glanced at the little girl next to him, and found that he could see very clearly.
Qin Yu could see the little girl's delicate skin, long eyelashes, and bright eyes very clearly.
The world can be so clear; this experience is simply amazing.
Qin Yu wondered if being hit by a car had unexpectedly cured his nearsightedness? He'd heard that a femtosecond LASIK procedure cost tens of thousands of yuan.
Wow, that's a steal!
He snapped out of his daze and looked at the little girl in front of him. Only then did he realize that the little girl looked familiar, as if he had seen her in some movie.
Qin Yu shook his head again to make sure he was awake, then asked with some doubt, "Aren't you that person?"
Perhaps because he had just woken up and his mind was a little confused, he couldn't remember the name for a moment. He kept mumbling the name, which was right on the tip of his tongue, but he just couldn't remember what it was!
The little girl frowned and looked at Qin Yu, saying, "Do you know me?"
The little girl in front of me, who seemed a bit dazed, had brown hair, beautiful eyes, and a faint smile on her lips…
Qin Yu's mind raced, and he finally remembered—wasn't this the brilliant little girl from the Harry Potter movie series?
Qin Yu had watched Harry Potter many times with a female friend before. At first, he was puzzled. Wasn't Harry Potter just a fairy tale with a magical overlay? The main storyline was about the main characters going on an adventure and fighting monsters together!
However, as he delved deeper into the story, he discovered that it was actually a very heartwarming coming-of-age story—a story of cruelty tempered with warmth.
"Hermione Granger?!" Qin Yu finally remembered the name of the girl with curly hair.
When Qin Yu said Hermione's name, the other person shrank back, her eyes widening in surprise!
Of course, Qin Yu thought she looked very cute.
Qin Yu realized that what he said was inappropriate, so he quickly changed the subject and asked, "Why am I here?"
After saying this, Qin Yu stopped again. He realized that he had been speaking English from the beginning, but he had been a little confused and hadn't realized it yet.
This car accident had so many unexpected benefits? It even gave my mouth a built-in translation function.
In that case, the two of them should not have any language barriers when communicating.
……
Hermione looked to be about ten years old at this time. Qin Yu was actually more familiar with what she looked like when she grew up, so he didn't recognize her at first.
Hermione blinked her big eyes after hearing Qin Yu's question, thought for a moment about how to phrase it, and then slowly and earnestly said:
“Here’s what happened. A few days ago, you suddenly appeared on the street ahead and were accidentally hit by my dad’s car (Hermione emphasized the word ‘accidentally’). Dad took you to the hospital for a checkup, and there were no problems with your head or body, but you had been sleeping and hadn’t woken up. We couldn’t find your family either, and Dad felt responsible, so he brought you back. Thankfully, you’ve finally woken up!”
After saying this, the little girl breathed a sigh of relief.
Hearing her words, Qin Yu frowned. Things seemed to be beyond his comprehension, because he did not think that he would be unharmed after being hit by a truck traveling at such a high speed.
But the truth is, he didn't feel like he was injured at all.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Hermione asked with concern when he remained silent for a long time.
As she said this, she reached out and touched Qin Yu's head, trying to see if he had a fever.
Then, seeing that Qin Yu didn't react, she waved her hands in front of his eyes.
Qin Yu helplessly reached out and pried Hermione's small hand away. He really wanted to say, "I'm perfectly normal, I'm not blind!"
He was shocked when he made his move, wondering why his hand was so small.
"How did my hand become like this?" Qin Yu exclaimed in surprise.
After saying this, he hurriedly jumped out of bed, and then saw a mirror on the table. He quickly picked it up and looked at himself.
Looking at the youthful face in the mirror that resembled his own childhood self, Qin Yu was speechless with shock.
He felt as if a million mythical beasts were roaring through his mind.
My age and voice have changed! Is this what they call time travel? Did my soul travel, or did my body shrink and then travel? Can anyone tell me what's going on?
Unable to come up with a solution, Qin Yu listlessly placed the mirror back on the table.
Seeing that he seemed to have suddenly gone mad, Hermione, who was standing next to him, was terrified. She felt that she really couldn't handle it, so she hurriedly ran downstairs, calling out, "Dad, Mom, why haven't you come up yet?!"
Qin Yu ignored Hermione's departure and instead plopped down on the bed in a daze.
If Hermione exists in this world, does that mean there's magic here too? Is this world the same as my original one?
Just then, a pleasant voice rang in his mind:
"Ding! Host's emotions are stable and in good condition detected. System automatically activated!"
Stable? Stable my ass! Qin Yu retorted instinctively.
However, he was immediately stunned, and his heart skipped a beat: System? Was that voice just now the legendary system?
However, the voice ignored him and continued:
"Ding! Welcome to the magical world, host. This is the God-level Choice System. You have two initial options to choose from. Please make your choice as soon as possible to complete the formal binding with the system!"
"【One】Become a Muggle (ordinary person) and you will be rewarded with ten million pounds."
"【Two】Possess Obscurus power and become a wizard. Note: If you choose this option, the system will guide you to eliminate the negative effects of Obscurus."
Upon hearing the system's voice, Qin Yu was somewhat excited. After all, the god of fate had not abandoned him and had given him a system to rely on.
So, which of these two options should he choose? He was a little conflicted for a moment.

Note 1: Muggles are ordinary people who do not use magic. There are also "squibs," which are descendants of wizards who do not use magic.
Note 2: The Obscurial Force is an uncontrollable and powerful dark force, originating from J.K. Rowling's "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," and is also part of the same universe as Harry Potter.
