My Hogwarts has a serious problem.

Chapter 30. A Gift for You

"Professor, I can stand by my words. Since the start of the semester, Lynn has been practicing spells with me by the Black Lake every morning, including today. He has never left my sight for a moment. Even when we found McLean, we went there together."

Cedric's testimony was highly credible in the eyes of the professors.

He consistently ranked first in his grade and was a typical Hufflepuff—honest and trustworthy.

At this point, the matter was basically no longer Lynn's concern, and Professor McGonagall allowed them to leave.

However, Lynn deliberately stayed until the very end. After Michelle and the others had left, he seemed a little hesitant, as if he had something to say to the two professors.

"Belok, is there anything else you want to say?" Professor McGonagall, seeing through his intentions, spoke up.

Lynn asked hesitantly, "Professor, can I move out of my current dormitory and live alone?"

Snape remained silent, but Professor McGonagall countered with, "Why?"

"I'm scared." Lynn's eyes were full of fear. "They didn't succeed this time, but who knows if they'll do it again? I'm too scared to live with them anymore."

Professor McGonagall didn't seem willing to agree to Lynn's request, and she patiently tried to persuade her.

"Don't worry, Belloc, this is Hogwarts. There are a group of professors protecting you. This was just an accident. I guarantee they will never dare to do such a thing again."

"But professor, no one can keep an eye on them every second."

Lynn's words silenced Professor McGonagall. He was right; even conflicts between ordinary children could lead to death, let alone a group of fearless little wizards.

However, Professor McGonagall still didn't want Lynn to live alone, because she felt that it wouldn't be good for Lynn's growth and would only make him withdrawn and unsociable.

"I agree. I'll inform Raphael, the prefect, in a bit, and have him take you to a new dormitory room where you'll be living alone from now on."

Snape, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up and agreed to Lynn's request.

This made Professor McGonagall frown.

"Severus, this is against the rules, and besides, a student was just attacked. It's not safe for him to live alone."

Snape gave Professor McGonagall no reason, simply stating coldly, "He is a student of my house, and I have the authority to make arrangements."

Lynn was overjoyed and bowed to Professor Snape, saying, "Thank you, Professor Snape."

Snape nodded, indicating that he could leave.

Lynn respectfully emerged from the vice-principal's office, closing the door behind him.

He walked down the corridor, heading back to the Slytherin common room. All the pretense on his face vanished, replaced by a final smile.

He had actually anticipated this outcome, including the fact that it wasn't Professor McGonagall who ultimately agreed to his request, but Professor Snape.

From the moment he started using the title, it was to lay the groundwork for his request to move out of his current dormitory and live alone.

All of Lynn's feigned pitifulness wasn't actually a performance for Professor McGonagall; the only audience Lynn truly needed was Professor Snape.

This can evoke his resonance and remind him of his own school days when he also suffered from school bullying.

Professor McGonagall, who values ​​rules, would certainly not agree to a request to live alone, but Professor Snape, who has had a similar "experience" with Lynn, might not.

Professor Snape could certainly understand Lynn's current "feelings," and he was also known at Hogwarts for his fierce protectiveness of his own.

Of course, this plan was not something Lynn had thought of at the beginning. He only came up with it on a whim after seeing Professor Snape's frightening expression when Michelle was explaining their plan.

Failure is just a performance, but success means he'll make a fortune.

A dormitory room for one person means he can have more privacy, a more convenient environment to practice dark magic, and a quieter study atmosphere.

Now, he has succeeded.

Lynn was in a very good mood and even thanked Hubert in his heart.

If Hubert hadn't wanted to frame him, he wouldn't have been able to find any excuse to live alone.

It's a pity that the great philanthropist was attacked by some other great philanthropist, which prevented Lynn from personally repaying his "kindness".

Back in the dorm, Lynn started packing her things in front of Mark and the others.

The atmosphere among the three was somewhat awkward. The plan to frame Lynn had been exposed before it could be carried out, leaving Mark and Michelle unsure of how to face Lynn.

"What are you doing?" Michelle finally couldn't help but ask.

Lynn seemed to hold no grudge against them at all, and answered cheerfully, "I'm planning to change dorm rooms. Professor Snape promised that I'd be able to live alone from now on. Um, I have to thank you for that."

Michelle and Mark exchanged a glance. They were clearly happy to see Lynn move out, since their conflicts had already come to the forefront.

Just as Lynn finished packing his things, the prefectural head, Raphael, found him and prepared to take him to his new dormitory.

Before leaving, Lynn warmly said goodbye to his two roommates.

"Goodbye, both of you. To thank you for taking care of me these past few days, and for the care you prepared for me, I would like to give you both a gift before I leave."

Hearing his words, Mark leaned forward and asked, somewhat bewildered, "What gift?"

Lynn didn't speak, but smiled and pointed his wand at him.

"Hot and spicy!" ×2 (A type of curse that can cause a person's body to grow uncomfortable bumps.)

……

Lynn's new dormitory room is the same size as a normal four-person dormitory room.

Everything, including the decor, is the same as before, except that he now lives alone.

After he finished packing, he picked up the things he needed for the afternoon class and went to the auditorium for lunch.

As soon as Lynn arrived at the Slytherin table, Lady Betty, the prefect, sat down beside him with a serious expression.

"Do you know what happened to Hubert this morning?"

"What?" Lynn was very interested in this; he also wanted to know what had happened to Hubert.

"The Crucifixion Curse! Someone tortured him with the Crucifixion Curse, and then erased his memory with the Oblivion Curse!"

Lynn was stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"Who said that?"

Betty's expression was serious; she didn't seem to be joking.

"That's what everyone's saying. Apparently, Professor Snape accidentally let it slip, and that's how the news got out."

Lynn's face immediately turned extremely gloomy, and his good mood from before vanished completely.

"Lynn, do you remember what I told you before?"

Betty looked at him, seemingly with a pointed remark.
