As Lynn entered the abandoned classroom, he saw Irina sitting on one of the desks towards the back.

Irina looked into Lynn's dark red eyes, unsure of what to say at first, but then unexpectedly said in a singsong voice, "Why was the math book sad?"

Hearing this, Lynn was initially startled but then played along, responding, "I don't know, why?"

Irina replied with a grin, "Because it had too many problems!"

The two burst out laughing at the silly joke, finding amusement in the shared humor from their previous lives. They stood up, clutching their bellies as they laughed heartily.

Irina clutched her belly, nearly in tears from laughing so hard. She never expected that in this unfamiliar world, she would hear such familiar phrases, reminiscent of the silly comments from online friends that used to make her laugh uncontrollably.

Lynn felt the same way. Since arriving in this strange world, he had suppressed his emotions as much as possible, allowing him to remain calm like a professional assassin when facing danger. Yet, deep down, he was still a passionate youth – otherwise, he would not have sacrificed himself in the fire to save others!

Facing Irina, a fellow traveler from another world, Lynn unexpectedly rediscovered a sense of familiarity from his previous life.

Perhaps only those from the same world could provide solace to one another while wandering in the unknown.

Whether Lynn or Irina, they cherished each other dearly, valuing their sole compatriot. Otherwise, Lynn would not have risked altering the story's course last Halloween by personally killing the troll out of concern for Irina's safety. Likewise, Irina would not have taken the risk of revealing her identity by opening the alchemical wooden box, grasping the only hope available, even if Lynn might have seen her as an enemy.

"Let me reintroduce myself," Lynn said, extending his hand. "My name is Lynn, the same as in my previous life. I'm from Rongcheng. I ended up here after sacrificing myself in a fire while trying to save someone, dying in the flames."

Suppressing his laughter, Irina firmly grasped Lynn's hand as if holding onto her last straw of hope. She said softly, "Let me also reintroduce myself. My name is Irina, Ina in my previous life. I'm from Lancheng. I ended up here after rescuing a protected animal from poachers but accidentally got locked in a cold room, freezing to death."

They shook their joined hands, simultaneously exclaiming, "It's great to meet you here!"

After this, Lynn and Irina seemed to have shed some heavy burden. They casually sat on the abandoned classroom's desks and chairs, chatting like old friends.

"Just like they said online in my previous life, I'm all about those little rascals!" Irina played with the crystal pendant on her chest, teasing lightheartedly.

Lynn shrugged, a smirk on his lips. "Who says otherwise? We're all rascals!"

"Our folks just don't get it, it's so frustrating! Here's a guy imitating how I speak!" 

"Hahaha..."

...

No one knew what Lynn and Irina discussed in that abandoned classroom, but those who knew them noticed that both became much livelier after returning.

"Say, Rowle, weren't you usually all gloomy with that Snape-like face? What's with this sudden change?" Malfoy asked, surprised to see the smiling Lynn entering their dormitory.

Hearing Malfoy's words, Lynn's expression immediately shifted.

You're the one with the Snape face!

"Draco, I think you need to experience some brotherly affection from your senior!" Lynn drew his wand.

For some reason, Malfoy felt that Lynn's smile had taken on a sinister edge.

As for the lackeys Crabbe and Goyle, they were usually dull except when it came to eating. However, upon seeing Lynn draw his wand, the two displayed a rare moment of wit by swiftly exiting the dormitory.

Soon after, Crabbe and Goyle heard incessant screams coming from inside.

Meanwhile, Irina hummed a tune as she returned to the Gryffindor common room.

"You're back, Irina? You seem quite happy," Hermione greeted her.

Hearing Hermione's words, Irina nodded happily. "Yep, made a new friend!"

Recalling the incident from noon, Hermione smiled and asked, "Senior Rowle?"

"That's right! I just found out that we used to play together at an amusement park when we were kids. No wonder he was so nice to me last year!" Irina concealed the truth, making up a story.

Hermione nodded without probing further.

Time flew by, and October soon arrived.

During this period, Draco Malfoy, through his father Lucius Malfoy, donated a set of Nimbus 2001 broomsticks to the Slytherin Quidditch team, securing a spot as their new Seeker through nepotism.

Of course, eager to confront Harry, Malfoy immediately led his team to harass Harry upon joining the Quidditch team, ultimately getting mocked by Hermione for buying his way onto the team.

With Irina present, Malfoy didn't dare use the slur "Mudblood" to insult Hermione, no matter how bold he felt. He merely exchanged a few taunts with Harry before arrogantly occupying the Quidditch pitch with his team.

Armed with a note from Professor Snape, the Gryffindor Quidditch team members, though infuriated, had no other choice.

Ron did complain about his broken wand, unable to help the team, while Irina secretly advised him to sell Lockhart's books and buy a new wand when Hermione wasn't around.

October arrived.

The damp chill permeated the grounds, seeping into the castle, causing colds to spread among the staff and students. This overwhelmed Madam Pomfrey in the hospital wing, forcing her to seek assistance from Professor Snape.

Of course, Snape wasn't a medical expert, but the Pepperup Potion he brewed had excellent effects, although it tasted a hundred times bitterer than Madam Pomfrey's version.

Additionally, students who drank Snape's Pepperup Potion would have steam continuously billowing from their ears for a few hours, like a steam train. Lockhart, who was frozen like an ice sculpture at the start of the term, resulting in a cold, had consumed this potion.

In this damp environment, the warmest place in Hogwarts was likely each House's common room. Even Lynn, previously a bookworm, abandoned his studious demeanor during these consecutive rainy days, lounging by the fireplace in the Slytherin common room.

Possessing a strong affinity for flames, the gloomy and humid conditions outside Hogwarts made him uncomfortable, while the cozy fire in the Slytherin common room provided a soothing warmth.
