The next morning, as all the teachers and students of Hogwarts gathered in the Great Hall for breakfast, the same time the email arrived.

So, under the ceiling of the auditorium, owls flew back and forth, carrying all sorts of packages in their beaks, whether it was a letter or something else, searching for their targets.

At the long table in Gryffindor, Lin Yu yawned as he ate his breakfast.

Hermione, who was standing next to him, noticed that Lin Yu was adding a handful of sugar to his oatmeal and couldn't help but purse her lips in disgust, but then asked, "You seem really sleepy?"

Hermione's family owns a dental clinic, and her father, Mr. Granger, is a dentist, so naturally he doesn't approve of this way of eating sweets.

Lin Yu replied listlessly, "It's alright."

Hermione picked up her bowl of oatmeal, which she had unsweetened, and muttered, "Boys are such a hassle. Is he too excited to sleep because he heard about the flying lesson this afternoon? Is he a primary school student?"

Lin Yu was speechless. Eleven years old is the age of a primary school student, isn't it? Could it be that the British education system is different?

Actually, they are quite different.

In short, it's very complicated to explain.

Generally, primary school students in the UK are between five and eleven years old. After passing some assessments, they can transfer to secondary school after the age of eleven.

For example, Harry and Dudley; Dudley transferred to the upper grades this year.

If Harry doesn't receive an acceptance letter from Hogwarts, he will have to transfer to a less desirable public school.

That's why Hermione made that comment.

Seeing that Lin Yu didn't speak, Hermione snorted and turned her head to chat with Lavender and Parvati on the other side.

At this moment, the twin brothers Fred and George came over and sat on the other side of Lin Yu.

Fred moved closer to Lin Yu, his face beaming with excitement, and said, "Hey, Lin Yu, we've heard about what you did. We heard you taught Filch a lesson? And he even apologized to you?"

George also spoke loudly and exaggeratedly, "Everyone hates that guy. I mean, even the Slytherins can't do anything with him. Our pranks only manage to make him look bad. You know, those damn school rules are really bad for us."

Lin Yu rolled his eyes. "Guess why school rules exist?"

However, there was one thing Lin Yu agreed with: although the twins openly disliked Filch, they would never humiliate him, much less insult him by using his status as a Squirrel.

This is why Lin Yu lashed out at Filch.

Why would someone who got soaked in the rain want to tear someone else's umbrella apart?

You yourself are a dud, yet you want to humiliate others?

So Lin Yu let the twins celebrate Filch's embarrassment to their hearts' content around him.

"Lin Yu," Fred suddenly said to Lin Yu with a mysterious look, "perhaps we can go on an adventure in the Forbidden Forest together tonight."

"Thank you," Lin Yu replied with a smile, "but please allow me to decline."

That's the Forbidden Forest, which is inherently dangerous and harbors all sorts of magical creatures.

For example, there was that terrifying giant spider that Hagrid released many years ago.

Once that thing reaches adulthood, it can almost rival a basilisk.

However, the basilisk is definitely more terrifying, and it's something that even the eight-eyed spider monster would avoid.

In addition, even Voldemort is going to become a permanent monster in the Forbidden Forest.

You guys actually dared to go.

The twins walked away disappointed because of Lin Yu's rejection.

No wonder Dumbledore knew of the twins' reputation; they were just too much trouble.

Lin Yu had heard Haig's complaints last night. He said that last year he spent most of his life's effort and energy to finally prevent the twins from running in and causing trouble.

I didn't expect them to want to go in again this year.

Let us observe a few minutes of silence in memory of Hagrid.

Suddenly, Harry's exclamation came from the other end: "Hedwig? Who sent you to deliver this to me?"

It turned out that Harry's Hedwig had finally brought him a letter.

Lin Yu glanced at it thoughtfully and noticed the distorted writing on it, guessing that it might have been sent by Hagrid.

As expected, Hagrid followed Lin Yu's advice yesterday and sent Harry an invitation this morning, inviting Harry to visit Hagrid's Cottage on Friday afternoon when he had no classes.

He will host them there.

Lin Yu couldn't help but think of rock-skin cakes, and suddenly his teeth felt sore.

Is that really something for humans to eat?

And there's Tooth, hopefully Harry won't be scared.

"Navie, what's that?" someone asked.

It turned out that Neville had also received the email, and when he opened it, he found a glass ball inside.

Neville picked up the letter inside and said, "This is a memory orb. If you forget anything, just hold the memory orb and it will turn red."

Suddenly, the layer of white mist inside the glass sphere turned red.

Neville's face immediately darkened, and he muttered to himself, "But I often can't remember what I've forgotten."

Just then, three people walked by, and as they passed Neville, one of them snatched the Memory Orb from Neville's hand.

Lin Yu looked up and saw that it was Draco leading a trio, with Crabbe and Goyle following behind him.

Harry and Ron had already stood up and blocked Draco's path.

Ever since their falling out on the train, they've disliked each other.

Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he slowly said, "Is this the way Slytherins operate? So what you're so proud of is just your banditry? Stealing other students' belongings makes you so smug?"

"What did you say?" Draco glared angrily at Lin Yu, not forgetting Lin Yu's provocation of Slytherin in front of the entire Hogwarts two days ago.

Lin Yu laughed: "Are you deaf at such a young age? How about I give you a chance? Don't you have a flight lesson this afternoon? Want to make a bet?"

"What are we betting on?" Draco's attention had already been drawn to Lin Yu, so he immediately handed the memory ball back to Neville and stared intently at Lin Yu.

Lin Yu stood up unhurriedly and said, "Let's bet on flying. I've never learned to fly, but I bet you have. How about we see who masters flying faster and who flies the fastest?"

Draco threw his head back and burst into laughter. "Hahaha, you want to bet with me? That's hilarious. I've been able to fly on a broomstick since I was a kid. I even encountered a Muggle plane once, but I managed to dodge it. If first-year students weren't barred from joining Quidditch teams, I would definitely be Slytherin's Seeker."

Quidditch is a sport played by wizards, much like basketball or football for ordinary people, and it is very popular among wizards.

Seeing Draco's smug expression, Lin Yu's lips curled into a meaningful smile.

He just had never touched a magic broom before, but he could fly on a sword.

Lin Yu then said, "It's settled then. Whoever loses this afternoon will apologize to the other in public. If I lose, I'll apologize to you and to Slytherin. If you lose, you'll have to sincerely apologize to Neville. Don't be a sore loser. That would be embarrassing."
