"I'm leaving now, see you tomorrow!"
After arriving in the foyer, Fleur waved to Lynn and left alone.
After watching Fleur leave, Lynn walked towards the Slytherin common room. Tomorrow night would be the day when the candidate chosen by the Goblet of Fire would be revealed, which meant that he only had one night to break the alchemical restriction on the Goblet of Fire.
Instead of waiting here foolishly for the other little wizards to leave, it would be better to go back to the dormitory to rest and recharge his energy, and then break the alchemical ban on the Goblet of Fire late at night.
However, just as Lynn raised his leg to leave, another snow-white figure blocked his way.
Irina crossed her arms over her chest and angrily looked at Lynn, who was half a head taller than her, and asked, "Tell me, when did you hook up with her?"
Irina was referring to Fleur, of course. Although she also understood that she wasn't blaming the other party, after seeing Lynn sitting with Fleur, she didn't know why she felt her heart sink for no reason, which made her want to confront Lynn and ask him directly.
"Irina, you misunderstood. During the summer vacation of my first year, my teacher took me to visit his alma mater, Beauxbatons School of Magic. At that time, Madame Maxime asked Fleur to receive us. I took the opportunity to discuss alchemy with her. She came to me to discuss alchemy issues. We only met once!"
Lynn explained helplessly to the petite girl in front of him. He didn't know why, but he always felt that the other party seemed to be afraid of something.
Is it just a chance encounter?
Irina secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She stared into Lynn's dark red eyes. She knew that she had misunderstood, but the breath she was holding in her heart made her involuntarily retort: "So, you were already in a relationship with her before you met me?!"
After saying this misleading statement, Irina wanted to slap herself, but she seemed to have thought of something, and she suddenly became nervous, waiting for the other party's answer.
Hearing Irina's words, Lynn's expression became more helpless.
He understood that what happened at the previous dinner seemed to have caused Irina to misunderstand something.
Lynn said as if coaxing a child: "Don't worry, I don't have any thoughts about her. I'm not someone who is tempted by beauty."
Hearing this, Irina felt much more comfortable, but on the surface she still curled her lips and whispered, "Who knows..."
But just as Irina was about to say something else, she found that her shoulders were suddenly grabbed by Lynn.
Her body trembled, and when she looked up, she saw the smile on Lynn's lips.
Lynn came closer, pressed his forehead against Irina's, and said softly, "If you think so, then you can treat me as you are...but...the object of my desire is you..."
A stream of hot air blew on Irina's face, making her feel itchy.
She felt as if she was under some kind of spell, and her whole body became a little soft. She looked at Lynn who was so close to her, but it was as if she saw a demon with bared fangs and claws, and she was the little kitten that was about to be devoured by the demon.
"Ah!"
Irina's pretty face turned red like an apple, and her face suddenly became hot. She screamed, broke free from Lynn's hands on her shoulders, turned around, and ran away.
Looking at Irina's departing back, Lynn felt inexplicably disappointed, but he was unforgiving in his words: "Hey, little girls just can't help being teased..."
However, Lynn's disappointment did not last too long. After all, his remarks were too sudden and did not give Irina any time to prepare herself mentally. It was normal for Irina not to respond directly to him.
Lynn adjusted his mindset and walked towards the Slytherin dormitory. He had a tough battle to fight tonight and could not afford to be careless.
…
Soon, it was late at night. The blue-white flames flickered in the dim hallway, as frightening as ghost lights. The silent hallway was empty. Even the most patient little wizard would have to go back to rest at this time.
But at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the Goblet of Fire.
The owner of this figure was Lynn. After a short rest and replenishing his energy, he quietly left the dormitory and came to the hallway.
Lynn gently waved the wand in his right hand, and with a flash of golden light, countless golden magic circles emerged from the surface of the Goblet of Fire.
Looking at the densely packed patterns that would give most alchemists pause, Lynn smiled and prepared to break the alchemical restrictions.
However, just as Lynn was about to start, a hint of vigilance suddenly appeared in his eyes. He turned around instantly, pointed his wand at the air several meters away, and shouted: "Who is it?!"
"It's me." A clear voice sounded, and Irina's figure appeared in the hallway.
After confirming Irina's identity, Lynn put down the wand in his hand and asked in confusion, "Why are you here too?"
Irina explained, "Don't forget, Barty Jr. is also going to do something to the Goblet of Fire. I'm afraid if you run into him by accident, he'll do you harm. Anyway, I can't sleep, so I might as well come and protect you."
Irina looked as if she was just discussing the matter, as if her shy departure had never happened.
Lynn felt warm in his heart. He naturally would not believe the other party's excuse that she came because she couldn't sleep. Looking at Irina's well-prepared appearance, she must have had a plan in advance.
"Okay, then my safety is in your hands."
Lynn said with a smile, his voice soft but full of trust.
Irina didn't say anything. As she waved her wand, rays of ice-blue light flew out from the tip of her wand and landed in various corners of the hallway, lurking there.
Seeing this, Lynn turned his attention back to the Goblet of Fire. He quickly analyzed the new alchemical circles added by Dumbledore and tried to crack them using the reverse analysis method.
As early as after the dinner, when Dumbledore took out the Goblet of Fire, Lynn had already seen these alchemical circles, and in the following period of time, Lynn also had some insights and analysis of these alchemical circles of his own.
Now that the time had come for actual practice, Lynn would naturally not be timid.
As the magic wand was waved, golden lights intertwined on the alchemical arrays on the surface of the Goblet of Fire. The light emitted by the alchemical arrays dimmed, and after Lynn seized control through reverse analysis, the alchemical arrays dissipated one after another under his control.
The process of breaking the ban is like defusing a bomb. It does not allow for any distraction or mistakes.
Looking at Lynn who was concentrating on breaking the alchemical restriction on the Goblet of Fire, Irina couldn't take her eyes away. Lynn's serious look made her sink into it.
