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

In Professor Huo Qi's office.

Professor Hodge sat in the chair behind his desk, his eyes fixed intently on Hermione and Lin Yu.

Lin Yu stood there, looking completely unaffected.

Hermione kept her head down, completely avoiding Professor Hooch's gaze.

"You have seriously violated school rules. In the past, expulsion would not have been an exaggeration," Professor Huo Qi said loudly.

But actually, she was mostly just trying to scare the two first-year students, hoping they would learn from this experience.

Hermione shuddered in fright, her face turning pale.

This wasn't the kind of white that comes from fair skin, but rather a deathly pale color from panic.

Lin Yu frowned, but stood in front of Hermione without hesitation, taking all the pressure upon himself.

Although Professor Huo Qi still looked serious, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes. This brat, at only eleven years old, already knows how to cherish women and how to show off.

He actually flirted with girls right in front of me?

Professor Huo Qi was both amused and annoyed, and asked, "Lin Yu, do you intend to bear all the consequences alone?"

Hermione looked up, as if she wanted to say something.

Lin Yu spoke up first, "Alright, Professor, you don't want to ruin a future Quidditch superstar yourself, do you?"

"Quidditch superstar? Who?" Professor Hodge looked at Lin Yu with a blank expression.

Lin Yu raised his head: "That's me, isn't it?"

Professor Huo Qi was almost amused by his shamelessness. In fact, she did laugh, and her usually serious demeanor was instantly shattered.

Professor Huo Qi had to cough a few times deliberately to avoid looking too embarrassed.

Lin Yu felt a few pokes in his lower back; it was Hermione poking him.

Although Hermione didn't speak and he couldn't see her current appearance, Lin Yu could sense that Hermione seemed to be suppressing a laugh.

In the wizarding world, Quidditch is clearly a grander event than the World Cup, and Quidditch even has its own World Cup.

This is practically like saying that you will definitely become the world's best footballer in the future.

That's shameless.

Lin Yu scoffed, "It's just Quidditch. Professor Hodge, I bet you that Gryffindor will sweep all the Quidditch matches this year and ultimately win the Quidditch Cup."

Hogwarts has the House Cup and the Quidditch Cup. The House Cup is awarded to the house with the highest House Points throughout the school year.

This is a collective honor for the entire college, and at the end-of-semester banquet, the flag and style of the college that won the college cup will be displayed.

As for the Quidditch Cup, Wood had already told Lin Yu about it before, so I won't go into details here.

Seeing Lin Yu's serious expression, Professor Huo Qi couldn't help but become curious and asked, "Oh? What do you want to bet with me on?"

Since it's a bet, there must be a stake.

Lin Yu turned to look at Hermione and said without hesitation, "I need you to promise me that, starting today, you'll allow me to help Hermione practice flying skills, provided it doesn't interfere with our studies or inconvenience others. You wouldn't want anyone to say that you had a student who wasn't good at flying, would you?"

Lin Yu felt that he was trending towards developing his own style in adult content.

His words were practically saying, "Professor Huo Qi, you didn't want to... either, did you?"

It was as if they were threatening Professor Hodge.

However, after careful consideration, Professor Huo Qi nodded and agreed with Lin Yu's statement.

He is a flight educator in the magical world and a professor of flight at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

She simply couldn't stand the thought that any of her junior wizards would be genuinely bad at flying.

Hermione hid behind Lin Yu, pouting.

This isn't a required course; in fact, after advancing to the second year, you almost never need to take it anymore.

In other words, being a qualified wizard doesn't mean you can't fly on a broomstick.

But Lin Yu and Professor Huo Qi seem to care a lot about this?

"And what if you lose?" Professor Hodge didn't forget that the bet was between two parties.

Without thinking, Lin Yu said, "I can apologize to you, even in front of the entire school."

Professor Huo Qi laughed in exasperation again: "Don't try to play these little tricks on me."

There is absolutely no loss or cost involved, is there?

"If you don't win all the games and get the Quidditch Cup, I'll make you quit the team," Professor Hodge suddenly said, surprising everyone.

For most people, this would be a severe punishment.

But Lin Yu agreed without hesitation: "Then it's settled."

He actually found Quidditch boring, and if he could have an excuse to quit, it wouldn't be bad.

Of course, he won't think that way anymore, since the system has a lot of room for maneuver when it comes to Quidditch.

Let's leave that aside for now.

Because of an agreement with Professor Hodge, Lin Yu was able to get away with the matter of her and Hermione.

As the two left Professor Hodge's office, they unexpectedly ran into Draco and his group again.

They were clearly waiting there on purpose.

Draco chuckled and asked Lin Yu, "So? You guys are going home? I can buy you each a ticket back, no need to thank me."

Seeing his arrogant attitude, Lin Yu was furious. No wonder Harry and the others hated him so much in the original story.

But now Draco is no longer targeting Harry and Ron, but has instead become entangled with Lin Yu.

After all, Lin Yu had said those things about Draco's father on the train in order to complete his mission.

The two have become enemies.

Lin Yu was about to retaliate.

Hermione grabbed Lin Yu's hand and said, "Don't pay him any mind for now, there are too many of them. We'll teach him a lesson later when we find a chance."

As Hermione spoke, she pulled Lin Yu along and quickly walked past the group of Slytherin students, leaving without looking back.

Behind him came the laughter of Draco and his group, mixed with someone saying that Lin Yu was a coward.

If Lin Yu were truly a child, he naturally wouldn't tolerate it.

But things were different now. He couldn't be bothered to argue with a group of kids. Hadn't he heard that a dog that bites doesn't bark?

Uh... that doesn't sound like a nice thing to say?

In any case, in Lin Yu's mind, Draco had already found a way to die, and if given the chance in the future, he would kill him.

but not now.

So Lin Yu obediently let Hermione lead him away from there.

After the two of them shook off the annoying Slytherin gang, Hermione released Lin Yu's hand and said without turning her head, "Actually, you didn't have to help me like that."

She was referring to the bet between Lin Yu and Professor Huo Qi.

If Lin Yu loses the bet, will he even quit Quidditch?

For many people, this is an honor.

Lin Yu noticed Hermione's downcast tone and chuckled as he stepped forward to take her hand again. He didn't reveal his own intention to quit Quidditch, but instead said, "Hermione, haven't you realized yet? The so-called school rules are just for us, but for the professors, they're more like the rules they set for the game."

"They can make demands of us at will, even find reasons and excuses to deduct points or fire us. Is that fair? It's not fair."

Hermione looked thoughtful.

If before this, Hermione cared a lot about the school rules and regulations, and didn't want Gryffindor to lose points because of her,

Lin Yu's words were like opening the door to a new world for her.

Perhaps from then on, she wouldn't care so much about school rules?
