lunch time.
In the auditorium.
Fred and George walked back and forth across the long table in Gryffindor.
"Let me tell you a secret, our first class after the start of the semester was taught by Professor Lin Bei." They mysteriously described the scene of their first class to the students from other grades.
“Wood, let me tell you, Professor Lin Bei withstood all of our attacks without even blinking, without even swaying!” George said, putting his arm around the shoulder of a burly Gryffindor student.
"That's all old news. Can't you say something new?" Wood looked at the two of them with disdain and pointed to the Slytherin table.
Meanwhile, a young Slytherin wizard was vividly describing to his companions the scene of Professor Lin Bei flying into the sky, the scene so realistic that it seemed as if it had actually happened.
"What are you saying!" Fred snapped, jumping up from the bench. "We'll produce the firsthand information we just got right away, so prepare to be shocked!"
“We just went to Professor Kettleburn with two jugs of wine to try and get some information out of him,” George said smugly. “We got even more exciting news from him. Want to hear it?”
The Gryffindor cubs nearby crowded around, excitedly watching the twins, trying to get a piece of the even more exciting news.
"According to information from Professor Kettleburn, Professor Lin Bei had a brief encounter with Snape!" Fred successfully piqued everyone's interest. "According to him, the two professors had a small contest at the entrance of the Great Hall."
"The betting is open! Everyone, let's bet on who's stronger, Professor Lin Bei or Snape! The odds are 1 to 2!"
Before Fred could finish speaking, George pulled out a pieced-together gambling table from somewhere, divided into left and right sides by a line down the middle.
"I knew it, Weasley, it was another one of your money-grabbing schemes!" Wood rolled his eyes, but still placed a silver sieve on the gambling table in order to hear the latest news.
The twins glanced at the betting board and noticed that most Gryffindor students had bet on Professor Lin Bei being more skilled. They exchanged a look, quite dissatisfied.
So they set their sights on Slytherin. "Well, aren't the rich kids from Slytherin going to try and put pressure on your Headmaster? Or are you afraid of Professor Lin Bei?"
Upon hearing Fred and George's provocative words, some people at the Slytherin table became restless.
A proud-looking first-grade boy stepped out first. He had neat, platinum blonde hair, a pointed chin, silver-gray eyes, and a tall, thin build. Two chubby followers followed closely behind him.
"Why are Professor Lin Bei's odds so much lower than Professor Snape's?" he asked, raising his head with a look of dissatisfaction.
"Because Professor Lin Bei's approval rating is significantly higher than Snape's," Fred said with a grin.
“You two ignorant Weasleys, I’ll show you what the Malfoy family’s wealth is like!” With that, he pulled several gold coins from his pocket and tossed them into the pile of copper and silver coins.
Seeing that the eldest son of the Malfoy family had placed his bet, the other purebloods were not to be outdone, and each of them placed their Galleons on their own headmaster.
In the blink of an eye, under the financial offensive of the Slytherin pure-blood wizard, the odds between Lin Bei and Snape became 1:1, almost even.
Once everyone had placed their bets, the twins huddled together mysteriously.
Fred secretly mouthed to George, "You've made a fortune."
George smiled knowingly and collected the coins of various colors.
"Listen up, everyone! The final result is—Professor Lin Bei has won! His feat was to force Snape to back down with just a glance!"
A burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from Gryffindor's area, while Slytherin remained silent.
“No, you have no evidence!” Draco Malfoy retorted. “Why should I believe your nonsense? You can’t even guarantee that this information is accurate!”
The twins exchanged a glance, as if they had expected it, and suddenly pulled a large ear out of their pockets.
They pressed a button on their ear, and Professor Kettleburn's voice came through that ear.
“Oh, you mean Lin Bei? He chased Snape away with just a look!” Professor Kettleburn said with great pride. “I never imagined that Dumbledore could still recruit such a reliable Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, given the current infamous reputation of Defense Against the Dark Arts.”
Chapter 202
Harry's life at Hogwarts began to descend into a noisy routine.
Aside from the fact that he had to do an extra ten inches of homework every day under Professor McGonagall's supervision after being caught skipping class by Lin Bei during the school opening incident and being reported to Professor McGonagall for skipping class.
The advantage is that even Ron can add a few points to Gryffindor's score.
However, it was taken away by Professor Snape in the blink of an eye.
And the deductions were even harsher than last semester.
Even Lin Bei heard about it; if the headmaster hadn't been Dumbledore...
Harry might even owe Snape several tens of points after a year of school.
The original Chamber of Secrets incident was over, but Harry was still very troubled.
Because this semester I gained a new female fan and a male fan.
Ginny is naturally the biggest fan. She fell asleep listening to the Savior stories since she was a child. In addition, her older brother Ron was Harry's roommate and best friend last year, so she naturally developed a fondness for Harry.
Upon seeing the real person, she immediately went into "girlish infatuation mode".
It seems to be replicating the outrageous actions of American students.
For Ginny, it was alright. Although being bothered by girls was a bit of a nuisance, Harry secretly felt a bit of satisfaction.
Having never received this kind of treatment since childhood, Harry was still very reluctant to refuse this entanglement.
However, another little fanboy is giving Harry quite a headache.
Colin Crevey, a huge Harry Potter fan, wanted nothing more than to follow his idol around all the time and take all sorts of beautiful photos of him.
He's totally a "fanboy" in the magic world.
Lin Bei heard from Fred and George that Colin had indeed put in a lot of effort.
Colin's obsessive pursuit of his idol has led Harry to try every means to avoid this little fan these days.
For example, while eating, I was chatting with Ron and Hermione when suddenly I heard the sound and light of an old-fashioned camera.
What's even more terrifying is that this little fanboy is actually a Gryffindor student.
They have the right to freely enter and exit the public lounge.
And as a member of Gryffindor.
The magic of sneaking in and picking locks is a must-learn skill; it can be considered a basic skill of the sect.
This led to Colin sometimes suddenly appearing at Harry's bedside.
After a flash of light.
Harry was horrified to discover that Colin was grinning at him with a fanatical smile.
Even a tough guy would be shocked to see this as the first thing he saw after being forcibly woken up.
What's even worse is that Colin seems to have activated a radar cheat code; even if Harry hides in the abandoned toilet on the second floor, he will still be found by the smell.
If Harry hadn't spoken to Ron and taken one of his few correct suggestions, and had a proper talk with Colin, he probably would have worried that his toilet photos would end up in Colin's bedroom.
Rumors suggest that Colin also plans to start a "Harry Potter Fan Club" with Ginny.
However, Lin Bei, being the gossip he is, asked Ginny privately, and Ginny said she didn't plan to establish it with Colin.
Furthermore, Ginny also dislikes Colin.
However, according to Ginny, Colin has already started to build up his gang and there is a very high chance that he will actually establish a club.
After all, those first-year wizards all fall asleep listening to Harry's stories.
Even some older students found it quite interesting.
······
In the principal's office.
Lin Bei sat silently in the chair, watching Dumbledore sipping his milkshake, wondering what the old man wanted from him this time.
"Coo coo coo~"
"Ha~"
"Thank you for recommending this drink, it's delicious!"
Lin Bei didn't know what to say. He didn't need polite words; with his abilities, he was only qualified to be talked about by others.
Eh?
It seems like this very moment.
Lin Bei raised his hand and said, "Alright, let's get straight to the point!"
I still have some research to do later!
A glint appeared on Dumbledore's glasses. "It's related to Squibs, isn't it?"
Lin Bei didn't hide anything and said, "What's wrong? There are quite a few Squibs in the wizarding world. It's a huge group."
Dumbledore nodded. "I didn't say you were forbidden from your research."
"Heh~ I didn't prepare anything for you, did I?"
"I'm just a little worried about Filch's health lately."
"You don't need to worry about that. I've already sent him to find Snape."
Just drink two vials of tonic.
"So, what brings you here? If it's nothing, I don't like chatting with a lousy old man."
Dumbledore reluctantly opened the drawer and carefully took out a ring-shaped object wrapped in cloth.
"Oh~ you actually found it?"
Dumbledore did not reply, but carefully turned the cloth over to reveal the full contents of the wrapped item.
The Ravenclaw crown.
A crown shaped like a soaring eagle, with a large blue gemstone replacing the eagle's body and two smaller blue gemstones strung together for the tail. The base is engraved with Ravenclaw's famous motto: "The greatest treasure of mankind is wisdom."
However, Ravenclaw's crown, which originally symbolized wisdom, now exuded a seductive aura. Although it still looked beautiful, it did not appear dull or gray due to the dark magic.
Dumbledore's expression was serious. He had extensive experience with the allure of Ravenclaw's crown, and this small temptation was not enough to sway him.
"Ravenclaw's crown!"
I truly never imagined that Tom would do something so disrespectful to the relics of the four founders!
Lin Bei's expression remained calm. Having watched the movie and read so many fan fictions, it would be strange if he were surprised by something like this.
Unless Tom suddenly appears in front of Lin Bei wearing a lace miniskirt and dances Swan Lake.
