Harry doesn't want to be a wizard, he just wants to be a superhero
#17 - Dumbledore
A chubby, grey rat suddenly crawled out of Ron's sleeve and stood on the table, squeaking at him.
Suddenly, a large rat darted out, and Hermione gasped, quickly moving away from Ron:
"Why do you have a rat with you?"
Being disliked by a witch his age, Ron's ears turned red, and he explained:
"It's called Scabbers. It used to be Percy's rat, but when he became a prefect, my dad gave him an owl. They couldn't afford… I mean, they just gave me the rat."
Perhaps sensing Ron's embarrassment, Hermione, though still far away from him and the rat, comforted him:
"It's okay, maybe you'll become a prefect someday and get a new pet."
Ron took out some breadcrumbs and fed them to the grey rat. The rat immediately quieted down, but after hearing Hermione's comforting words, he didn't cheer up at all, but became even more upset:
"I have five brothers. I'm the sixth in my family to go to Hogwarts.
They're all very outstanding. Bill and Charlie have graduated. One of them was Head Boy, and the other was captain of the Quidditch team.
Now Percy has also become a prefect. Fred and George may be mischievous, but their grades are excellent.
So, whether it's Mum and Dad or anyone else, they all expect me to be just as good.
If I do, it's no big deal, but if I don't…"
Hermione was silent. She was the only daughter of the Granger family and was showered with love, but she didn't know how to comfort someone from a family like Ron's.
She asked Harry:
"Harry, what about you? I heard you grew up in a Muggle family like me."
Harry was awakened by Hermione's words and subconsciously replied:
"Um, me? They're all pretty good, at least they are now."
Hermione and Ron were clearly puzzled. Why 'at least they are now'? Were they terrible before?
But Harry had no intention of enlightening them. He was currently staring at the chubby grey rat.
He sensed magical fluctuations from Scabbers, which were exactly the same as the magic within wizards, a chaotic magic of lower quality than his own.
A magical creature?
Harry secretly wondered.
At this moment, Ron took out his wand, pointed it at Scabbers, and said to Harry and Hermione:
"Fred taught me a spell to turn it yellow. Do you want to see?"
"Of course," Hermione was very curious about everything in the wizarding world.
"Ahem, ahem," Ron coughed, wanting to make the pronunciation of the following spell more accurate:
"Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow, turn this stupid fat rat yellow!"
A layer of shimmering yellow light bloomed on Scabbers' body, but it still didn't turn yellow, remaining its original grey color.
In the realm of learning, Hermione always seemed to be very assertive. She questioned, "Are you sure that's a spell?"
Ron's ears turned red again. "I knew Fred was tricking me. He always likes to play pranks."
At this time, Harry shook his head. "No, Ron's spell was successful just now, but Scabbers is a magical creature, and the magic within it made it immune to the spell."
"Scabbers is a magical creature?" Neither Ron nor Hermione believed it. The grey rat looked ugly and dirty, how could it be a magical creature?
Ron didn't believe it even more. Scabbers had been in his family for many years, but there was nothing different about it. He questioned:
"How could it be? Scabbers is just an ordinary rat, it always has been."
Harry smiled and didn't refute. Perhaps Scabbers' magical power was gluttony. Look how deliciously it was eating; the breadcrumbs, half its body size, were quickly gone.
Hermione stood up and took out her wand.
At this moment, her expression was haughty, looking completely different from the cute little witch from before.
Harry thought of those academic overachievers. This was the unique arrogance of a bookworm!
Hermione raised her little head and proudly said:
"I've also learned a few simple spells. Um, they're all quite effective.
One of them, a spell that can only be learned in the third year, was very difficult to learn, but because it's so convenient, I still learned it!"
She pointed her wand at Ron, and seeing that Ron was a little afraid, she smiled and said:
"Don't be afraid, it'll be over soon… Scourgify!"
Only then did Harry notice that there was a black smudge on Ron's nose. Now the smudge quickly disappeared, and even Ron's hair became much smoother.
Harry didn't hold back his praise:
"Hermione, you're so amazing, you actually learned a third-year spell!"
Ron's mood wasn't so good. He looked at Harry and then at Hermione.
Okay, it turned out that he was the worst one there.
He suddenly felt that Hermione's appearance was much more annoying.
Hermione's mood was completely the opposite of Ron's. At first, after seeing Harry, she thought that all young wizards were like Harry, very outstanding.
This made Hermione, who had always excelled in her studies, a little worried that she would fall behind.
But after seeing Ron, she relaxed. It turned out that Ron was the normal level of a young wizard.

As for why Harry was so outstanding, it was because he was the Boy Who Lived!
The Boy Who Lived was always different!
At this time, a smiling woman with dimples pushed open the compartment door:
"Dear, would you like to buy some snacks?"
Ron and Hermione both grimaced. One of them was from a wizarding family, but his family was poor and couldn't even afford a pet.
The other's parents were both dentists, but the exchange of Galleons was limited. Those Galleons were just enough to maintain her studies, and there really couldn't be any extra expenses.
Noticing the plight of his two little friends, Harry secretly took out some Galleons from his pocket dimension, pretending to take them out of his pocket:
"I'll take some of everything, thank you."
Hermione and Ron's eyes lit up.
From the ice cream and cakes he bought from Hagrid, Harry could tell that the food in the wizarding world was indeed good.
Harry bought many kinds of snacks: Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, Chocolate Frogs, Licorice Wands, Pink Peppermint Toads…
Of course, he wouldn't be stingy with this little bit of money and shared the snacks with his friends.
Faced with these delicious snacks, even Hermione ate heartily.
Harry tried a few, and they were all very good, but some flavors of the Every Flavor Beans made him very uncomfortable, and after trying two, he put them aside.
He opened a Chocolate Frog, grabbed the moving chocolate frog, crushed it in his mouth, and savored the chocolate's mellow sweetness while noticing a card.
The card showed a man's face, wearing a pair of half-moon spectacles, a long nose that was somewhat crooked, and long silver hair and beard that covered part of his face.
The card below read his name: Albus Dumbledore.
Harry flipped the card over, and there were some words on the back:
Albus Dumbledore, current Headmaster of Hogwarts.
Recognized as the greatest wizard of the modern era.
Dumbledore's widely known contributions include:
Defeating the dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945,
Discovering twelve uses for dragon's blood,
And achieving remarkable success in alchemy with partner Nicolas Flamel.
Professor Dumbledore enjoys chamber music and ten-pin bowling.
The greatest wizard of the modern era?
Harry was a little curious. Compared to the Sorcerer Supreme, who was stronger?
