Hogwarts doesn't need a savior

Giving the little girl an encouraging smile, he turned his head and looked at Lynn, who had naturally become the center of the table.

"…When Euphemia gave me this phone, I had a feeling that Muggle society was about to undergo another drastic change."

After answering Percy's confusion, Lynn took out a mobile phone that was exactly the same as the gift and said solemnly.

Mrs. Weasley had little trust in Muggle technology, as was the norm for pure-blood wizards.

But her husband was convinced.

"This internet you mentioned... Oh yes, the Internet, what is its significance?" Arthur looked at the phone carefully and regarded it as a treasure, full of desire to explore.

"Speed, the speed of information exchange." Lynn said firmly, "You know, I have quite a few Muggle friends who are doing similar work. Now it's just text and sound, but as technology develops, there will be images, videos and even larger-scale information. This will be faster and more detailed than owls and patronuses."

"Is it like the telephone, Professor Eric?" Harry found the opportunity to speak, and he suddenly realized that his experience in Muggle society was not useless to the wizarding world.

"That's right, Harry." Lynn nodded approvingly. "Wizards represent supernatural individuals, while Muggles represent a secular group. Although this is not absolute, if wizards stick to their old ways, one will gain while the other will lose. Arthur, I hope that if conditions permit, you can help me study Muggle information technology, especially its magical application. It will be very useful."

Harry looked at Mr. Weasley, who looked very excited, and thought about it.

There seemed to be something extra in his head, but it was vague.

Perhaps only Hermione could understand such profound things, he thought.

In the following time, he seldom had the opportunity to speak. He just listened attentively to Fred and George's occasional jokes and Mrs. Weasley's half-blaming, half-loving criticisms.

【Rune】

【Ancient Magic】

These two words, which had never appeared before, aroused his curiosity more and more strongly, and he didn't even notice Ron, who was dozing off beside him and leaning on his shoulder.

He is more looking forward to the new semester.

-----------------

Night fell over the courtyard. The goblins that had been chased away in the morning had slipped back into their burrows, making humming sounds.

"Molly, this is the best meal I've had recently. Thank you for the treat. Your cooking skills are still so good. You are more than qualified to be the head chef in any restaurant."

At the gate of the courtyard, looking at the Weasley family who were seeing them off, Lynn deliberately touched her belly to express her gratitude and praise to the enthusiastic hostess.

"You are always so good at talking." Molly smiled brightly, showing her enjoyment from the inside out. Arthur was also proud of it. "Next time, call Euphemia as well. Our family hasn't seen her for a long time."

"Okay, I'll definitely bring the invitation." Lynn said with a smile, "She's going to Beauxbatons now to take over my teaching position."

"This is really good news." Arthur patted Lynn's shoulder vigorously, "Congratulate her for us!"

“Don’t worry.” Lin En walked to the creaking wooden door and waved gently, “See you next time! Also, little ones, remember to preview before school starts. This is a new course.”

At the moment of parting, the dedicated Professor Eric pointed at the few little ones who suddenly looked heavy-faced and laughed happily.

Then, he turned into a shadow and disappeared into the night sky of Devonshire.

"Did you hear everything?" Molly put her hands on her hips, showing the power of the head of the family. "Everyone's textbooks are in the room. School will not start until a month later. You can't fall behind in your studies. Do you understand?"

With the order, the Weasleys' happy summer vacation came to an end ahead of schedule. Only Percy showed an expression of "it should be like this", which made Fred and George complain in their hearts, hiding from their mother and third brother's sight and secretly shocked.

"Fred! George! What are you mumbling about?!"

The mother's roar proved that it was difficult for a son to hide anything.

The twins shook their heads frantically, not daring to lose their temper in front of their angry mother. They just moved towards Harry calmly, trying to hide their tall bodies behind the still small Harry.

This is of course futile.

But for Harry's sake, Mrs. Weasley decided to show some mercy and just glared at the two of them, muttering something like "These textbooks are not cheap", then hurried back home to tidy up the bedroom she had vacated for Harry.

Managing such a large family is never easy.

Mr. Weasley understood his wife's hardships best. He hugged his two sons who were still a little unconvinced, and went home talking and laughing.

Harry followed silently, feeling "at home" for the first time.

Compared to the days at Privet Drive, this place is unimaginably happy.

It’s like a brand new warm world, and life suddenly becomes colorful.

-----------------

The space in the Burrow looks cramped, but if you squeeze in, you can always find a new room.

After seeing off Ron who wanted to play wizard chess, Harry sat alone in the small but cozy room, opening his textbook nervously and expectantly.

It was a gift from Professor Eric to himself and several Weasley children.

It was a thick stack of textbooks and reference books for the new course he had not yet encountered.

Thinking of the new words and concepts he had heard today, he carefully took out the top book and opened the title page.

【Magic is mysterious. 】

[Given to Harry Potter, may you always have the courage to explore the unknown. 】

Lynn Eric

The beautiful cursive handwriting came into his sight, as if carrying some kind of magic that made him unconsciously raise his head and look at the starry sky outside the window.

When the moonlight is bright, the starlight is dim.

With the help of the light, he continued to flip backwards.

It's like opening the door to a new world and tentatively sticking a toe inside.

He, Harry Potter, is a brave boy who explores the unknown.

The lights were turned off very late that night.

Chapter 10: Lynn’s Nemesis

After staying at the Burrow, Lynn had some free time.

Before school started, he did not have many social engagements. Every day he either prepared for class with ease, slightly adjusted his experience at Beauxbatons to prepare for dealing with the students with distinct personalities at Hogwarts, or wandered around the city, observing the cultural traces of various regions.

Besides his diligent study of magic, this was one of his ways to cultivate his sentiments.

In terms of cultural diversity and openness, Birmingham is the best in the UK and even in Europe.

This is also the main reason why Lynn settled here.

He was undoubtedly an enlightened wizard, and his identity in his previous life made him never think that there was any qualitative difference between Muggles and wizards.

The two sides just have different abilities and live in two societies, that's all.

The days passed quickly, and the parchment volumes piled up even faster.

The magic passed down from the time of King Igor gradually gathered into an experience bar of [magic knowledge] in his mind, which pushed forward the progress that had been slow for a long time.

In a blink of an eye, August 8, an ordinary Wednesday, arrived as scheduled.

-----------------

Having stayed up most of the night before to conceive a new magical path for rune magic, Lin En, exhausted, slept soundly.

He didn't wake up until noon.

Around ten o'clock, the sunlight outside the window finally shone on the bed, slightly dazzling, and also pulled him out of his wonderful dream.

"Um……"

He opened his eyes reluctantly, intending to pull up the quilt and sleep for a while, but suddenly he found something in front of him.

The tip of my nose twitched slightly, and a familiar fragrance came in.

It was a faint scent of shampoo.

The blurry vision gradually became clear.

The first thing that caught my eye was the dazzling golden hair like a waterfall.

She also has a pair of beautiful, lazy brown eyes like a cat.

The upturned corners of the eyes are soft yet thorny, charming and alert.

【Euphemia Fox】

The most familiar name in the world appeared before my eyes.

“He must not be awake yet…” Lin En closed his eyes decisively and lifted his hands that were holding the corners of the quilt upwards.

But there is no use in escaping.

Before he could cover his ears and steal the bell, a slender and powerful hand had already grasped his wrist.

"Am I scary?"

Calm words are like a stone dropped into a lake, causing ripples.

Lin En's heart was filled with alarm bells.

"Of course not! It's a surprise!" He sat up suddenly, "Good morning, Fei, is there anything that brings you to my house so early?"

Thinking of what he had done, he felt a little insecure in front of his old friend. He called him by a nickname that only his closest friends used, and his smile was a little stiff.

"I don't see the surprise. And, are you sure you should say good morning now?"

Euphemia simply glanced at him calmly and sat back, lightly crossing her feet, her delicate high heels swinging gently and rhythmically.

"Hmm... is it already that late?"

I subconsciously glanced at the clock on the wall, and reason returned to my mind.

He quickly turned over and got out of bed, waved his wand, and there was a clinking sound in the kitchen.

After a while, two cups of warm milk flew into the bedroom and landed on the desk.

"Sorry, Fei, I suddenly had an inspiration last night and slept too late..." He explained hastily, and suddenly froze, "Huh? How come the draft paper is gone? I didn't clean it up yesterday."

"Because I cleaned it up - you left it everywhere, it was really disgusting." Euphemia took a sip of the milk. "It seems that someone has completely forgotten how to throw all the difficult things to me and pretend that nothing happened?"

Sure enough! This guy is here to settle accounts with me!

Lin En was shocked and his brain was working rapidly.

"Ding"

A small light bulb lit up above his head, and he quickly thought of a perfect reason.

"There are several candidate members of the Stargazers among these people. You must be more familiar with them than I am. You know, I have never been good at handling this kind of thing. I still have to leave it to the almighty Fei."

Amber eyes full of sincerity.

However, Miss Fox, with whom I have been friends for almost twenty years, is not so easily fooled.

"You just act on your own whim, and you're ridiculously lazy." Seeing through Lin En's little thoughts, Euphemia threw a booklet with disdain, "I won't give you the things you asked for next time."

When Lin En opened it, he saw that the name from that day had turned into detailed information.

From family background, personality traits to the types of magic one is good at, the analysis is extremely detailed.

"Now I know what's going on. Thank you, Fei! I know you're the most reliable one!"

Lin En happily put away the manual and praised her generously, but was only met with a cute roll of the eyes.

"Tell me, why did you suddenly decide to go back? You didn't discuss it with us. The plan needs to be adjusted."

The gentle Euphemia drank up the milk, lightly lifted her chin, and looked steadily at Lynn, her bright eyes reflecting his shadow.

Ever since he was in school, every time Lin En was stared at like this, he felt uneasy.

The reason is simple. He is not good at dealing with trivial matters and always throws all such things to his most reliable friend.

This has been the case for more than a decade.

This also caused him to always be short of breath when facing Euphemia.

Just like Dumbledore didn't dare to appear in front of McGonagall at the beginning of the school year.

"...Okay, it's Dumbledore, and Frank and Alice's son." Lynn raised his hands in surrender. "Rather than watching him push children into the fire pit one by one, I think maybe I can do something. Besides, I can't take the thing in Great Hangleton, and neither can you. We have to find the right person to go. This old man might be a good one. Anyway, he's over a hundred years old, so he can't be considered to have died young."

"An excuse." Euphemia pointed her white finger at Lin En's head, and said in a calm tone with a hint of lightness, "Just as I thought, you are still the same. You are meaner than anyone else, but you are unwilling to give up anything when doing things... You are a greedy guy."

"Don't be so blunt. It hurts our friendship." Lin En sighed helplessly, he had no way to deal with his old friend.

It was like this in school, and it seems to have not changed after graduation.
