Chapter 174 173 Now she had also learned to thoroughly dry her hair after a bath
Now she had also learned to thoroughly dry her hair after a bath; she could mentally recite the knowledge she had learned while drying it.
But she couldn't leave it wet, because if she didn't dry it, it would trouble Senior Maranhao and Senior Marietta.
After Lynn finished her bath, Maranhao went in with a change of clothes, while Marietta only sat back on her bed in relief after making sure Lynn had dried her hair.
Sitting at her desk, Lynn looked at the vast white sky outside, then suddenly stood up, walked to the window, and opened it.
From their Dormitory window, she could just see the snowman Hermione she had built earlier.
"Wingardium Leviosa."
She took out her wand and gave it a light flick; the snowman outside Hogwarts Castle floated up steadily and then slowly drifted to the window.
Manipulating her wand to make it "lie down," Lynn easily moved it inside and placed it by her bed.
Snowman Hermione stood by Lynn's bed like a piece of art; its eyes made of snow stared unblinkingly at Lynn's bed.
Marietta wasn't very surprised to see Lynn summoning the snowman from below.
After all, they had also brought back the snowmen Lynn had made for them.
To be honest, just a moment ago, she and Maranhao had wondered why Lynn would leave her own snowman of Hermione outside.
But now she had brought it up, so Lynn was just a bit slow to react.
Looking at Snowman Hermione standing quietly by her bed, Lynn felt her heart, which had felt tightened just moments ago, suddenly relax.
The voice that had been ringing deep in her mind just now also stopped; sitting back at her desk, Lynn opened her book and began to read carefully.
After a while, Maranhao came out of the bathroom and was slightly stunned to see the snowman by Lynn's bed, but she quickly realized what had happened.
She walked back to her bed and sat down as if she hadn't seen anything, slowly drying her hair.
For the rest of the day, Lynn remained immersed in her books until a letter from Professor McGonagall interrupted her studies after dinner.
Snapped out of her studies by Maranhao calling her full name, Lynn opened the window; an Owl dropped a letter and flew away.
Opening the letter, she found it was indeed in Professor McGonagall's handwriting.
Miss Lynn, Mr. and Mrs. Granger will arrive at Hogwarts tomorrow at twelve noon; you may go to the entrance of Hogwarts Castle to meet them then.
Her aunt and uncle were coming tomorrow; Lynn put the letter away. Maranhao and Marietta looked at each other, but neither of them presumed to ask what was in the letter.
What if it involved Lynn's privacy?
Arriving at Hogwarts the day before Christmas were not only Mr. and Mrs. Granger, who would arrive at noon.
But also Lucius Malfoy, who had already delivered Dobby to the Headmaster's Office in the morning.
Having lost his house-servant, learned that his plan had failed, and been subtly warned by Headmaster Dumbledore.
Lucius Malfoy felt the anger in his heart growing heavier and heavier.
Stomping out of the Headmaster's Office, he happened to run right into Harry, who had rushed over to check on Dobby.
Seeing Harry rushing toward the Headmaster's Office at this time, what was there that Lucius didn't understand?
The person who had caused him to lose Dobby and his plan to fail, even if it wasn't this Potter, was certainly related to him.
Glaring at him fiercely, Lucius spoke slowly, maintaining his haughty air.
"Mr. Potter, I believe running in school is quite uncouth."
Having heard Lynn's analysis and knowing that Ginny getting Lord Voldemort's diary was likely his doing, Harry was in no mood to humor him.
"That's still more civil than plotting against an eleven-year-old girl, Mr. Malfoy."
Lucius's eyes narrowed instantly, and he gripped his cane tightly.
"It really was you, Potter."
"You're just like your parents—reckless and courting death."
Harry's expression turned even colder, and he let out a cold laugh. "That's still better than you, Mr. Malfoy. You preach blood purity, yet you kiss the hem of a half-blood like Voldemort's robes. Is that the way of the House of Malfoy?"
Hearing Harry speak the truth of Lord Voldemort's lineage and insult the House of Malfoy, Lucius unhesitatingly drew the wand from the head of his cane.
"You need to learn how to keep a low profile, Potter. Av—"
"Protego."
Before his spell could be uttered, a flat voice devoid of any emotional fluctuation rang out.
A powerful Shield Charm stood directly between Lucius and Harry, shaking the ground with its impact.
Lynn stepped forward, her eyes devoid of any luster. She had been on her way to the Castle entrance to meet Mr. and Mrs. Granger.
But she had seen Harry and Lucius Malfoy halfway there, and more importantly, Lucius actually intended to cast a spell on Harry.
"Do you intend to harm Harry's safety, Mr. Malfoy?"
Lynn's voice was flat, yet it inexplicably made Lucius feel uneasy.
The scene of his previous conflict with this young girl was still fresh in his mind, and facing her again... Lucius gripped his wand and gave Lynn and Harry a deep look.
"Remember this—Hogwarts and Dumbledore cannot protect you forever."
With that, he turned and left. Lynn watched his back, silently dismissing the thought that had popped into her mind to kill him directly to eliminate the threat.
Hermione had said that unless absolutely necessary, one must not kill.
The Shield Charm dissipated with a boom. Lynn turned around, and Harry looked at her, thanking her sincerely.
"Thank you, Lynn. You've saved me once again."
"Without me, you could have managed."
Lynn's expression didn't change; her eyes turned to Harry's right hand, which was already subtly gripping his wand.
"No," Harry shook his head with a bitter smile, "without you, I definitely wouldn't have managed. I don't know many spells yet."
"Your Expelliarmus would have been enough to knock Lucius Malfoy's wand away."
Quickly calculating in her mind, Lynn spoke the result she had reached.
"Maybe," Harry scratched his head, "I'm going to Headmaster Dumbledore's office now."
"Alright."
Lynn nodded and continued walking down; it was almost twelve o'clock, and her aunt and uncle should be arriving soon.
