"Do you want to go watch the match with me?"
After finishing breakfast, Lynn put down her knife and fork and heard Hermione's voice beside her.
She turned to look at Hermione, facing her expectant gaze, Lynn had no expression on her face, but she did not hesitate at all.
"Okay."
Upon hearing this, Hermione beamed. Up until now, Lynn's life had become more and more relaxed, and she was finally starting to return to normal.
Lynn put down her knife and fork and stood up to follow behind Hermione. Maranhao, Marietta, and Penelope exchanged glances and tacitly decided not to follow.
Today wasn't a Ravenclaw match, so they didn't have to go watch, mainly because... none of them wanted to disturb Hermione and Lynn.
It was better to let the two of them spend some time together properly.
However, looking at the pouring rain outside, Penelope and Maranhao tacitly drew their wands and each cast a Waterproofing Charm on Lynn and Hermione.
Lynn and Hermione turned back at the same time to thank the senior girls.
Walking out of Hogwarts Castle, under the isolation of the Charms, the two girls were completely unaffected by the rain.
Glancing at Hermione's thin summer wizard robe beside her, Lynn also drew her wand and cast a Warming Charm on both herself and Hermione.
"Thank you, Lynn."
Feeling the warmth on her body, Hermione smiled and linked her arm with Lynn's beside her.
"The weather today is really not great."
She looked at the view blocked by the heavy rain and frowned heavily, "It's no wonder the Slytherin House Team tried every way to find an excuse to switch today's match to Hufflepuff versus Gryffindor."
Lynn nodded without any change in her expression, instinctively pondering in her mind.
Using any means to achieve one's goal was indeed the style of Slytherin House; at the very least, it was much wiser than their mindless following of the blood purity theory.
Following Hermione to sit on the stands, Lynn barely saw the two school teams shaking hands on the Quidditch Pitch through the rain.
The loud commentary sounded on the field, and the match officially began.
The players from both sides quickly shot into the high sky, Lynn's gaze locked onto Harry, keeping a close eye on him at all times.
Having experienced the Quidditch matches of the past two years, Lynn wasn't quite sure if something would go wrong with this school year's Quidditch match.
However, being a bit vigilant was always the right thing to do.
"No, the rain is too heavy," Hermione shook her hair, letting the rainwater slide off completely; however, because of the Charms, her hair was not soaked by the rain, "Harry obviously can't see things clearly."
"His glasses." Lynn said decisively.
"Yes." Hermione pursed her lips, her gaze anxiously following the players of the Gryffindor House Team.
As soon as she heard Wood call a timeout, she pulled Lynn and ran quickly down the stands.
"Waterproofing Charm."
Before Harry could react, Hermione directly drew her wand and cast a spell on his glasses.
"Oh!"
Harry was stunned for a moment before he reacted, "I was just saying that the rain was too heavy and I couldn't see clearly through my glasses, thank you, Hermione."
"You're welcome, good luck, Harry."
Hermione shook her head, braving the heavy rain, and pulled Lynn back to the stands of the Quidditch Pitch, preparing to take her back to their seats.
The players from both sides rose into the air again, Lynn listening to the cheers and shouts all around.
Her eyes scanned the surrounding stands rapidly, a faint feeling in her heart lingering.
She seemed to have overlooked something, she had overlooked something... she had overlooked something...
The Quidditch match, there were many people present, and everyone was very happy.
Sirius Black had broken out of prison, and there were Dementors guarding all around Hogwarts.
Two seemingly unrelated pieces of information quickly combined in Lynn's brain.
Her heart trembled violently, Lynn grabbed Hermione's hand and ran recklessly toward the stand where Headmaster Dumbledore and the Professors were located.
"Lynn, what's wrong? Where are you taking me?"
Hermione asked loudly, confused, making her volume cover the sound of the rain. Although confused, she still ran along in cooperation, following Lynn closely.
"There are too many happy people gathered at the Quidditch Pitch, and there are Dementors patrolling nearby. They cannot resist their instincts and are highly likely to come over and pose a threat."
Lynn ran quickly, holding Hermione, her voice still incredibly calm and emotionless, as if she weren't running at all.
"What?!"
Hermione was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what Lynn meant, her expression turned serious, and the speed of her running feet became faster.
Rushing onto the stand where the Professors were in one breath, the thumping footsteps made the crowd of Professors turn their heads to look at the two girls who had just run up.
"Are there no seats left in the other stands?" Professor Sprout asked gently.
Professor McGonagall also waved her hand with a kind smile, "The match won't end for a while, girls, no need to be in such a hurry."
"No... no, Professor..."
Hermione was running a bit out of breath, unable to speak fluently, so she patted Lynn, signaling for her to speak, and made up her mind to start balancing her own exercise.
Lynn's breathing was also incredibly rapid, but she forcibly controlled her breath, stating her analysis in an incredibly calm tone and voice.
"There are too many people at the Quidditch Pitch, everyone is very happy, which will attract the Dementors patrolling nearby."
As soon as she finished her sentence, the expressions of Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout changed abruptly, and they simultaneously turned to look at Headmaster Dumbledore, who was sitting in the middle.
Headmaster Dumbledore stood up abruptly, "Thank you for your reminder, Miss Lynn, this was our negligence."
After speaking, he raised his hand and pointed to the sky, "Expecto..."
However, before he could finish, a gasp of surprise rang out. Harry's body went limp under the encirclement of three Dementors, and he fell directly.
Under the cover of the rain, no one noticed the approach of those Dementors, not even Harry himself.
And by the time he realized it, it was already too late.
"Slow descent!" Headmaster Dumbledore forcibly changed the spell, pointing his right hand directly at Harry. Harry's originally rapid falling speed changed instantly, and he moved slowly toward the ground.
"Expecto Patronum!"
Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout simultaneously drew their wands and pointed them at the sky, and two Patronuses rushed out, running wildly through the rain.
Lynn's gaze lingered on the faces of the three Professors one by one; their expressions were all extremely angry.
The last time she saw this expression on a Professor's face was when Professor McGonagall learned about her past.
