My Hogwarts has a serious problem.

When Pikachu saw Lynn, his body trembled involuntarily.

These past few days he has been avoiding Lynn almost every day, and even if he accidentally bumps into her, he will silently slip away.

Even though he had already made such a concession, Lynn actually came to grab him again.

It's something that even the uncle can tolerate, but the aunt can't!

Peeves' nature isn't so easily scare away. Although he still has an instinctive fear of Lynn, he now knows that Lynn has a spell that can imprison ghosts, so he won't give him another chance to hit him.

"You despicable little wizard! You think you can catch me? Bah! Don't even dream about it! Peeves won't fall into the same trap twice!"

The mischievous elf made faces and stuck out its tongue at Lynn, as if venting the fear he had been suppressing for some time.

Lynn blinked, drew his wand, and nodded approvingly.

"Yes, only a fool would fall in the same place twice. But why do you think I'd be prepared to trip you up in the same spot a second time?"

As Lynn drew his wand, Peeves was already hovering warily in the air.

He planned to leave Lynn no chance at all and escape by going straight through the wall!

"Sealing the spirit and imprisoning the soul."

The same incantation rang out, and Peeves' body was already halfway through the wall. He was confident that he could pass through the wall before Lynn's spell hit him!

However, no beams of magical energy shot out from Lynn's wand.

As if nothing had happened, Pikachu smoothly passed through the wall separating the corridor and a classroom.

He was extremely excited. He felt that he had overcome his fear and that he would never have to be afraid of that brat Lynn again!

Just as he was about to dance and sing his way back through the wall to get his revenge on Lynn, Pipi Ghost noticed a semi-transparent bubble appearing beside him.

He was trapped inside the bubble, and no matter how much it thrashed around him, he couldn't get out!

At this moment, Lynn pushed open the classroom door and went in. He waved to the bubble that was trapping Peeves in mid-air, and it flew into Lynn's hand as if it were being pulled.

Lynn held it in his hand and kneaded the bubble into a ball like he was kneading clay. The trapped Pippi the Ghost inside changed shape along with the bubble, eventually turning back into a small, squealing ball.

"How are you feeling, you little devil?"

Lynn is asking his test subject how they are experiencing.

Pipi Gui didn't feel anything else right now; he just felt very wronged.

He had never had any contact with Lynn before. At most, he might have accidentally been involved when playing pranks, but that was definitely unintentional!

They had no past grievances or present enemies, yet this demon kept harassing him.

Mischievous Ghost is suffering!

He wailed and cried, but because he was a spirit, he couldn't squeeze out any tears for a long time.

"I was wrong, okay! I'll never do it again! Tell me, what did I do to offend you? I'll apologize to you, I was really wrong! Waaaaaah..."

Lynn, with his mischievous sense of humor, molded Peeves into various shapes.

He didn't actually intend to target Peeves at all; it was just that Peeves was the only spirit in Hogwarts who was easy to deal with, and he was also quite special, which allowed him to bring out some problems that Lyn hadn't considered.

For example, the modified Soul-Sealing Curse used to capture Peeves has been improved after Professor Fox sent him the information. The way this curse is released is no longer directional, but has become fixed-point.

It locates the target through Lynn's eyes. As long as he successfully uses the spell when he sees the target, he can lock onto it directly and form a special membrane to seal the spirit.

This greatly enhances the speed and accuracy of spellcasting, but weakens the binding strength on the spirit.

After all, the spell no longer acts directly on the spirit itself, but indirectly binds the spirit by forming a restriction.

Lynn held Pee-Pee in his hand for a while longer, then stopped torturing him, released the spell, and let him go.

Mischievous Ghost looked utterly defeated, sobbing softly as it drifted away unsteadily.

At least the initial goal of the improvement has been achieved. The Soul Sealing Spell has now become like the Transfiguration Spell, which can be cast instantly and its accuracy can be guaranteed.

Even so, Lynn still felt uneasy.

After all, he was not dealing with an ordinary person, so he could not be too cautious.

He walked to the auditorium to eat, thinking to himself. Cedric and Ian were already sitting in their usual spot.

"The Quidditch tournament is about to start this year." Cedric is a loyal Quidditch fan and follows every Quidditch match at Hogwarts closely.

Ian and Lynn had never paid attention to this kind of wizarding sport before, nor were they particularly interested in it.

"I heard the first match is Slytherin versus Gryffindor?" Ian had heard about this match, after all, they were two notorious gangs at Hogwarts.

Cedric looked at Lynn excitedly.

"Yeah, I heard everyone in Gryffindor is itching for a fight. Captain Wood has claimed they've been hiding a secret weapon this year to teach Slytherin a lesson. Lynn, do you know anything inside information about Slytherin?"

Lynn was eating absentmindedly; he wasn't interested in Quidditch and was preoccupied with improving the Soul Seal.

"You know what the Slytherin team is like. They play dirty, and every time they play Quidditch against Gryffindor, it's like a brawl. What kind of inside story could there be? Besides, this sport relies too much on the Seeker. It's a multi-player sport, but teamwork isn't the main focus, so I'm not very interested."

Cedric was somewhat disappointed; he had assumed that all wizards would enjoy Quidditch.

He whispered a few words in defense of Quidditch.

"It's not that we don't value teamwork. While the Seeker is the key to winning the game, the Chaser and the Beater are equally important."

Hearing what he said, Lynn was suddenly stunned.

It took him a while to come to his senses.

"Wait, what did you just say?"

"I said the chaser and the hitter are equally important."

"No, it's the previous sentence."

"The seeker is the key to winning the game."

"yes!"

Lynn slapped Ian's thigh hard, making Ian wince in pain and gasp for breath.

Lynn excitedly put down the beef pie in his hand.

"Yeah! A key player! We can find someone to be the key player!"

Cedric looked at him, puzzled.

"Are you still talking about Quidditch?"

Lynn suddenly stood up from his chair, pulled Cedric up, and gave him a big hug.

"Once my research is successful, I'll tell you which team will win the next Quidditch World Cup!"

After saying that, Lynn left the auditorium in a hurry without even finishing her meal.

Cedric and Ian were left completely bewildered.

—This is a cute dividing line—

A reader sent me a comment from an expert...

It's so embarrassing to only be able to answer with voice, so I'll just say it here. That way you can save 100 book coins. I'm so considerate (winking).

There isn't a group yet. This book is still in its early stages. If we really want to create a group, we'll have to wait until it's officially released.

As for updates... I really can't update too many times during the new book period, and it's almost the end of the year, so I still have to deal with those damn corporate laws and company laws, and time is a bit tight.

I don't have a single chapter saved up right now. I just write and post as soon as I finish. I can't even save any for the big update on the day it goes on sale. I'm still worried about how to write over 10,000 words on that day.

So, updating twice a day is actually quite diligent of me!

Seriously! My hair! I haven't played LOL for two weeks, Hearthstone for a week, and I'm even thinking of selling my Genshin Impact account and quitting!

So, considering how hard I've worked, could you guys give me some recommendation votes? (winking)
