My Hogwarts has a serious problem.

Chapter 259, Section 256: Professor Lockhart's True Colors

Because of the math questions Lynn had posed to the Doorknob Eagle, the Doorknob asked him to help purchase math textbooks from Muggles. Lynn was worried that if the Doorknob learned math, the little eagles would probably be in trouble for a while.

But to his surprise, before he could even buy his math textbook, Ravenclaw had already established a math club. At this rate, the young Ravenclaw wizards would definitely learn math much faster than the doorhook hawks, so Lynn's worries were unnecessary.

Thinking about it carefully, this might not be such a bad thing.

Because magic in this world is closely related to emotions, it is too idealistic, resulting in many wizards severely lacking in logical reasoning ability. Learning more mathematics can broaden their knowledge and improve their abilities in this area.

"Next time they have a math meeting, you should go with them. It won't hurt to learn more," Lynn said earnestly to Umaru.

Umaru looked miserable. She was already so stressed about math at home that she couldn't eat, and now that she was at magic school, she had to deal with these things again.

"Oh, right! The day before yesterday, those Gryffindor twins came to see you and asked if I had brought my things. I was afraid of giving myself away, so I didn't ask too many questions and just said I had. Then they seemed very excited and asked you to meet them on the lawn this weekend to discuss some plans."

Upon hearing Xiaomai's account, Lynn wore a strange smile.

He certainly remembered why the Weasley brothers had come to him; he hadn't forgotten the agreement he'd made with them at the Burrow.

"I understand. You're not wrong. I did bring the things. I'll meet with them on Friday."

When Xiaomai saw Lynn's smile, she couldn't help but get goosebumps. Usually, when Lynn smiled like that, it meant that someone was going to be in trouble.

"What naughty thing are you thinking about?"

Lynn glared at her: "What are you talking about? Would I want to do something bad? Go, go, go eat breakfast. I remember I have class in the first period today, and I need to get ready for class too. Let's leave the homework as is, but this is a one-time exception. Even if you don't know how to do it, you have to copy one from Ian's for me. Otherwise, if other students with a keen eye find out, they might suspect that there's something going on between us."

Xiaomai left with a pout, and Lynn finished tidying up and prepared to begin her daily teaching life.

Just as Dumbledore said, they have done all they can regarding the Basilisk problem. All that is left is to be on high alert and wait for the person hiding in the shadows to make the first move and reveal a weakness before they can continue their investigation.

After Lynn's severe injury yesterday, the basilisk had a third of its body broken off, which is much more serious than just a broken bone.

Even if the healing effects in the magical world are incredibly powerful, it's not something that can be recovered in ten days or half a month. So if the murderer still wants the basilisk to commit crimes, Hogwarts can at least remain peaceful for about a month.

Lynn cherished her peaceful time on campus.

On Friday afternoon that week, he took the film camera he had brought from home and went to the lawn behind the castle to keep his appointment.

The use of all electronic devices is prohibited in Hogwarts, but the camera Lynn is holding is an old-fashioned, purely mechanical camera, similar to a mechanical watch, which is why it can be used normally in the castle.

That's exactly what the Weasley brothers wanted.

When Lynn arrived at the lawn, George and Fried were already waiting for him, holding some random balls in their hands, seemingly engaged in a heated discussion.

They saw Lynn walking over and immediately waved to him excitedly.

"Come here quickly, Lynn."

Lynn walked over, and George patted the camera hanging around his neck, saying with satisfaction, "Great, this will become an indispensable part of our plan."

Fred pointed to the various strange-looking spheres scattered on the ground in front of them: "We're discussing specific prank plans. It's been three weeks since school started, it's time to teach Lockhart a lesson."

"Cough cough cough."

Lynn coughed twice. He felt that as a friend, he couldn't be too bad and had to give these two troublemakers a chance, so he advised against it.

"Professor Lockhart's Defense Against the Dark Arts class was quite interesting. He has a good reputation among the students and isn't the undeserving person we initially thought he was. So, what about your prank plans against him?"

"Are you thinking of giving up, Lynn?" George said, displeased.

"That's right, Professor Lockhart's classes are excellent. He makes both theoretical and practical lectures very interesting. But at the same time, he assigns way too much homework, almost twice as much as all the other professors combined."

If we didn't assign so much homework, what would you all be doing all the time?

He teases Filch, bullies Mrs. Lorris, plays pranks on the good-natured professor, and spends every day devising new ways to prank people. He doesn't act like a student at all.

Fred continued, "He seems to have some real talent, but that doesn't change the fact that he's a show-off. You know what I saw him doing when I went to his office to hand in my homework? He was actually praising his unparalleled good looks in the mirror!"

Get out!

I was admiring my own Transfiguration, admiring the exquisite patterns on the robe I had created with Transfiguration!

I never claimed my beauty was unparalleled! Lockhart is just a show-off and not even a tenth as handsome as me! I was just being narcissistic about my unparalleled Transfiguration abilities!

Lynn defended himself in his mind with a blank expression, but he couldn't bring himself to say it directly to George and Fred.

"And I also suspect that he is deliberately making things difficult for me and George. Last time, the assignments we handed in were just a little bit borrowed from each other, but he said that we plagiarized each other and we had to redo them all, which prevented us from having any time for night outings for several days."

Are you guys copying each other? Everything is exactly the same except for the names!

Lynn felt there was no need to give these two guys a chance; if they wanted to court death, then so be it.

Lynn took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Now that you mention it, I think Lockhart is almost as bad as Snape, so I've changed my mind. You guys should really teach him a lesson, and I'll be there taking pictures to document it. So what's your plan?"

Fred and George patted Lynn on the shoulder with beaming smiles, as if they were very happy that he had changed his mind.

"Our plan is actually very simple, and it goes like this."
