Being at Hogwarts, something's not right with this system.

The next day was the first day of November, and today was Halloween.

However, today was actually calmer than yesterday.

Because Hogwarts Castle is located in the Scottish Highlands, the temperature here is usually between zero and twenty degrees Celsius throughout the year.

So even in the warmest months, it can feel rather cold due to wind and rain.

Especially in November, the weather became even colder, and even the mountains surrounding the school were shrouded in a gray haze, covered with ice and snow.

And the surface of Black Lake is as cold and hard as quenched steel.

Every morning, the ground is covered in frost.

Sometimes, you can see Hagrid from the upstairs window, wrapped in a long mole fur coat, wearing rabbit fur gloves and huge beaver fur boots, frost-removing his flying broomsticks on the Quidditch pitch.

Speaking of Quidditch, tomorrow is Saturday, which will also be Lin Yu's first game since joining the team.

In the original story, Harry was supposed to join Quidditch, but for some reason, Lin Yu ended up joining instead.

Everything was for the mission; there was no other way but to apologize to Harry.

Perhaps this is why Lin Yu often "favors" Harry and Ron?

However, today is still Friday, and the match won't be until tomorrow.

In the morning, Lin Yu went to the downstairs public rest area and exchanged a smile with Hermione, who was waiting there.

"Meow."

Huru, unusually, came downstairs with Lin Yu today.

As the temperature gets colder, the little guy is getting lazier and lazier.

It hasn't gone to the restaurant with Lin Yu in a long time, let alone to the classroom, because some classrooms require crossing the castle's courtyard, which is outdoors.

Crookshanks emerged from behind Hermione, and the two kittens snuggled together.

Looking at the two little ones, Lin Yu said with a bitter expression, "My daughter is going to be kidnapped by Crookshan."

Lin Yu's purr is a female kitten, while Crookshanks is actually a male.

Lin Yu hadn't forgotten that he had once had the idea of ​​using magic to turn Huru into a cat-eared girl.

These days, I always feel like my little cabbage is about to be snatched away by some young punk.

Kluker Mountain looked up, and in a very human way, Chong Linyu rolled his eyes.

Crookshanks is intelligent; it has cat-like blood, and cat-like creatures are genuine magical beings.

This made Crookshan more humane and even gave him his own ideas.

However, this gave Hermes a headache, so she had to squat down and say seriously to Crookshan, "Crookshan, you have to behave. You can't go to the boys' dormitory, and you're absolutely not allowed to catch Ron's rat, Scabbers, understand? If you eat his rat, I'll have to pay a lot of money. More importantly, I don't want him talking about me behind my back anymore."

Crookshanks looked at Hermione with a complicated expression. It was hard to imagine that a cat, especially one with a round face, could have such a variety of expressions.

Crookshanks thought to himself, "How can I explain this to you? That wasn't a rat, that was a person, a wizard, an Animagus, and an adult at that. And a bad one, little wizards."

Crookshan was extremely worried.

As a creature with cat-raccoon blood, it can distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and know who is good and who is bad.

So Crookshank is kept in pet stores not because no one wants to buy it, but because it doesn't want to be bought by certain people.

It wanted to protect the young wizards, which is why it wanted to drive away the adult wizard's Animagus identity.

However, when faced with Hermione's pleading questions, Crookshanks could only silently obey his master's instructions.

What could it do? After all, it was just a cat.

After calming the two little ones down, Lin Yu and Hermione left first.

They weren't waiting for anyone else; the two of them walked hand in hand into the restaurant.

As a result, several people blocked their way.

It was Draco Malfoy, and his two henchmen.

No, besides Gore and Crabbe, Draco now has a female sidekick, Pansy Parkinson.

"Lin Yu, tomorrow is the Quidditch match. Just wait and you'll get utterly thrashed," Draco said arrogantly, chin held high.

Draco had grown much taller since the start of the school year, and his skin was whiter, but he didn't look sickly or pale.

Of course, the changes in Lin Yu and Hermione were the most significant.

Hermione is so much prettier now than when she first entered school. If she was an unknown little Cinderella at the beginning, now she not only has long, smooth brown hair that reaches her waist, but also exquisite and beautiful features, and she is already showing the makings of a beauty.

Lin Yu was much taller than his peers, standing out like a crane among chickens. He was probably over 1.65 meters tall now.

Moreover, Lin Yu has thick eyebrows and big eyes, commonly known as "sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes," giving him the perfect protagonist-like appearance.

Faced with Draco's provocation, Lin Yu laughed and praised, "You even know idioms? You've really gone to great lengths to understand your opponent. But it's a pity you can't play."

That was a game-winning shot; it was a devastating blow.

In any case, Lin Yu was the only first-year student to join the Quidditch team early as a special quota.

This is something Draco could only envy.

So what if we lose? At least I'm on the field, while you, Draco, can only watch from the sidelines.

Draco's features began to contort, and he shouted angrily, "Don't get cocky, Lin Yu. I'll definitely join our Slytherin team next year, I promise. I'll ask my dad for help."

"What a child who never grew up," Hermione chimed in sarcastically.

The couple worked together to finally get Draco to break down and leave.

There's no way around it; lies don't hurt, but the truth is the sharpest knife.

Regardless of whether Lin Yu can play Quidditch or Draco cannot.

Draco was speechless when Hermione mocked him for being a child who only knew how to run to his parents.

"We're so bad," Lin Yu said with a wicked grin as he leaned closer to Hermione.

Hermione rolled her eyes: "That's Malfoy, after all. Compared to them, we're the good guys."

The two immediately burst into laughter.

They're bullying Malfoy.

After all, it was Malfoy and his gang who were always causing trouble; just now, they were merely retaliating.

Lin Yu couldn't help but think of Harry's father, James.

In fact, James and Snape are like that, one attacks and the other counters.

Of course, it wasn't all Snape's fault. For example, in the Shrieking Shack incident, Sirius almost killed Snape, which is why, even though James saved Snape, their relationship didn't improve but instead escalated.

In Snape's view, "You, James's friend, almost killed me, and now you're trying to play the good guy?"

Are you trying to make a fool of me, treating me like a Japanese person?

Of course, their relationship has nothing to do with Lin Yu.

Today is Friday, and it's time to go to Snape's Potions class, which is also with Slytherin.

"Malfoy or Snape are probably going to cause trouble again."
