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

Lin Yu originally thought that he and Hermione's actions were already very secretive.

As it turned out, Dumbledore still found them, and was waiting for them outside when they got the Philosopher's Stone.

He knew about their actions but did not stop them; in fact, it seemed he even knew how they got there.

Clearly, Dumbledore had his ways of knowing everything about Hogwarts.

I wonder how much he knows about Lin Yu and Hermione's secret.

Lin Yu originally wanted to get away with it by pretending, but the system unexpectedly issued another task.

Especially the comment "you know what I mean".

Lin Yu understood, of course; it seemed the system was doing it on purpose.

This strange fire was a reward from the system, and it's probably unique in this world.

But Lin Yu also has a little wife, Hermione.

What to do? Only by gaining the ability to control the strange fire can one share its origin, which means Hermione can also obtain this Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

This was an open conspiracy, so Lin Yu had no choice but to face Dumbledore's question head-on and say, "I suspect Professor Quirrell."

"Oh?" Dumbledore was somewhat surprised. "Isn't it Snape? I thought you hated Severus."

Lin Yu shrugged and admitted, "There was indeed some conflict between us, but that was just my personal conflict with Professor Snape. That doesn't prevent me from believing in him as a professor. Besides, last night, on Halloween, Quirrell was the first to discover that a troll had been put into the basement. So I have reasonable grounds to suspect Professor Quirrell."

Lin Yu thought to himself, "I can't exactly say I've seen the movie, can I?"

Lin Yu wondered if it was just his imagination, but he thought he saw a fleeting look of relief in Dumbledore's eyes.

Dumbledore sighed and said, "Alright, Lin Yu, you're very smart, but don't let anyone else know about this. Besides, right now we only have suspicions."

It seems he also has some doubts about Quirrell.

However, before the real truth comes out, many things are still just doubts.

For example, has Quirrell already sided with Voldemort?

Is he secretly working for Voldemort?

Given the current relationship between Snape and Dumbledore, it's impossible that Dumbledore didn't know that Snape went out last night to prevent someone from stealing the Philosopher's Stone.

After all, Dumbledore believes in Snape now, doesn't he?

Therefore, Lin Yu's answer satisfied Dumbledore.

Dumbledore held the Philosopher's Stone in his hand, and he seemed to be muttering to himself, "What should I do with it? Should I stay here?"

Lin Yu rolled his eyes: "Don't worry, we're not that bored. We won't come back to take it. You can leave it here and lure the snake out."

The word "snake" is used very well.

After all, Voldemort speaks Parsley, doesn't he?

"You're quite the wicked lads, but I'm afraid you'll alert them by killing the trolls inside," Dumbledore said, glancing at Hermione. "It seems you have many secrets I don't know about."

Lin Yu wanted to say, "We're in the same boat."

Dumbledore added, "Alright, you should all go back to sleep now. Be careful not to get caught by Mr. Filch, the caretaker, or I won't be able to save you. As for what happened here, you must keep it a secret. I'll clean up the mess."

Dumbledore ultimately did not make things difficult for the two.

Perhaps in his eyes, Lin Yu and Hermione are still just children.

Lin Yu was naturally happy to get away with it easily, and quickly pulled Hermione away.

System: "Task completed. Reward has been sent to your system space and can be checked at any time."

Hermione turned to look at Dumbledore, and for some reason, she felt a pang of sympathy.

He was already a centenarian, but he seemed to still have heavy responsibilities on his shoulders.

He must have had a tough time too, right?

"Hermione?" Lin Yu seemed to sense something and reminded Hermione, "Let's fly up."

Hermione snapped out of her thoughts and nodded.

So the two of them took out the Cloud Mist Sword and the Heavenly Gang Sword again, and flew over the Demon Net by flying on their swords, returning to the room guarded by the three-headed dog above.

The three-headed dog was still fast asleep, completely unaware that Lin Yu and the others had gone in and come out again.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was watching, the two quietly flew directly to the corridor on the eighth floor, and then returned to the lounge with the fat lady's password.

It was already late, and Lin Yu hadn't claimed his rewards, which included the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, the Buddha's Wrath Lotus technique, and the ability to control the strange flames, among others.

The young couple lingered in the public rest area for a few moments before reluctantly parting ways.

Hermione reminded her, "Tomorrow is your first Quidditch match. Don't overthink it tonight. Get some rest and try to be in good shape tomorrow."

Lin Yu smiled and agreed, "Okay. But you have to give me some reward to appease me."

Hermione rolled her eyes. Didn't she understand what he meant?

Hermione glanced around furtively, then quickly kissed Lin Yu on the corner of his mouth.

Before she could pull away, Lin Yu reached out and pressed the back of Hermione's head, deepening the kiss.

He didn't let her go until several minutes had passed.

"What a disgrace!" Hermione scolded and turned to run away.

Even now, she's too shy to be affectionate with him in front of others; she's too reserved.

Such intimate contact can only be done secretly in private.

Lin Yu returned to his dormitory with a smile. As he quietly climbed into bed, a fluffy little creature crawled into his arms in the darkness.

It was snoring.

Although Huru now has Crook Mountain as its companion, it has not abandoned its owner and still waits for Lin Yu to come home every night.

Lin Yu hugged Hulu and slowly fell asleep.

The next morning, Lin Yu was woken up by Ron's loud shouting.

"Lin Yu, why are you still sleeping? What time is it?" Ron shouted, "Don't forget today is your first Quidditch match, why are you still sleeping in?"

Lin Yu was speechless. He sat up with sleepy eyes and looked at Ron, who was even more excited than him, as if he were the one who was Quidditch.

Besides, who was it that preferred to sleep in with Harry in the past? They even almost got late once.

Lin Yu didn't even bother to roll his eyes and said, "Dude, what time is it? Breakfast hasn't even started yet. Are you kidding me? Quidditch doesn't start until after breakfast, okay?"

"Lin Yu?"

Wood's voice came from the common lounge downstairs: "Are you up? Come down quickly, we need to be alert and ready."

Lin Yu fell back onto the bed; Wood was even more difficult to deal with.

That guy is the most troublesome.

Harry, Neville, Seamus, Dean, and a few others chuckled softly from their beds.

"Lin Yu, get up quickly," Ron urged from the side.

Meanwhile, Wood's voice occasionally drifted up from below: "Isn't he up yet? Ron? Help me wake him up."

"I understand, I'm coming right now," Lin Yu finally succumbed to their sonic attack.

You won, really.

At the same time, Lin Yu secretly cursed, "System, oh system, you've ruined me!"

System: "Task triggered: First sect trial, aim for a resounding victory. Rewards will be given based on completion. First: End the 'battle' within five minutes, reward: one random exotic fire (not currently available), the 'Free and Easy Movement' agility technique, and 10,000 mid-grade spirit stones. Second: End the 'battle' within thirty minutes, reward: the 'Free and Easy Movement' agility technique, and 10,000 mid-grade spirit stones. Third: End the 'battle' within one hour, reward: 10,000 mid-grade spirit stones."

Lin Yu's eyes lit up immediately, and he was no longer sleepy at all. He jumped up.

"Fight! I want to fight!"
