Ron was stunned when he heard Irina's words. He realized the implication of what he had said.
Yes, if it weren't for that Slytherin senior, he would have lost two friends forever, yet he was hostile towards him just because he was from Slytherin.
Smack!
Ron slapped himself in the face.
"Irina, I'm sorry, I..."
Ron has many shortcomings, but he is generally a kind person. He naturally doesn't want to repay kindness with enmity.
Irina carried Hermione to the hospital wing on the second floor of Hogwarts Castle, and Harry and Ron followed.
Madam Pomfrey carefully examined Hermione's injuries. The abominable troll was really powerful. Hermione had several broken ribs and her spine also showed signs of fracture.
If it weren't for the fact that this was the wizarding world, and magic could heal most physical injuries, Hermione's condition would have been life-threatening.
"Poor child, her injuries are very serious. If her injuries hadn't been stabilized by the effects of a potion, she probably wouldn't have made it here. Although I have used healing spells on her, she still needs to be hospitalized for a few days for observation."
Madam Pomfrey cast healing charms on Hermione, and then said to Irina and the others.
Irina was a little depressed. She nodded gently, did not disturb Hermione's rest, and left the hospital wing.
...
On the other side, Lynn returned to the Slytherin common room from another corridor. As early as after killing the troll, he had heard the movements of Harry and the others, so he did not stay at the scene for long, but used the Disillusionment Charm to leave the scene in advance.
The common room was crowded with people at this time. Even the self-righteous little Slytherins could not calm down now, which made the Slytherin common room very noisy.
Since the feast was interrupted by Quirrell just as it started, the Slytherins were eating the food served to them. Lynn did not join them, but returned to his dormitory and lifted the Disillusionment Charm. The Malfoy trio was still eating in the common room, and the dormitory was empty.
Lynn raised his hand and took off the dozens of metal cubes that were clinging to his clothes and put them into his canvas bag. These metal cubes were a parting gift from Nicolas Flamel, named Alchemical Blasting Clusters by Lynn, which could autonomously draw magic power from the air to charge, and launch highly lethal magic blasts at the enemy according to Lynn's thoughts.
The fighting principle of these Alchemical Blasting Clusters is similar to the alchemy array that Professor Green used when he fought against Casiraghi last Halloween.
However, the alchemy array on the Alchemical Blasting Clusters can use special alchemical creations as carriers. Although their power is not as strong as Professor Green's alchemy array, their magic power consumption for Lynn is close to zero.
After all, apart from spending a small amount of magic power to control them to fight, Lynn does not need to consume more magic power at all.
"Could it be...she is really a transmigrator?!"
Lynn frowned. Although he did not arrive at the first time, it was obvious that this giant monster incident was completely inconsistent with what he knew from the original story.
In the original books, Hermione was not injured, and Harry and Ron did not run to find a professor's help.
If all these changes are the butterfly effect brought about by the time traveler, then it makes sense, but Lynn cannot be sure whether this butterfly effect is caused by the silver-haired girl or by himself.
Although Lynn was sure that he had hardly interfered with the development of the plot, the possibility of his own existence causing these ripples made the meticulous Lynn unable to ignore it.
It seems that he still needs to investigate and test this further!
Lynn thought so and disarmed himself.
...
The next day.
Irina got up very early. She didn't even have breakfast and ran to the hospital wing to visit Hermione.
With the help of healing magic, Hermione had recovered very well. She smiled and told Irina that she would be able to fully recover and be discharged in two days.
This made Irina regain her original cheerfulness. She hummed a little song and came to the Great Hall to attend the breakfast feast.
Just as she sat at the Gryffindor table and picked up a piece of bread to start eating, she saw Lynn who was eating at the Slytherin table.
Seeing the familiar black-haired boy, her eyes suddenly lit up and she stood up and wanted to greet him.
But at this moment, the black-haired boy seemed to look at her. Irina saw the black-haired boy smile at her mysteriously, put his index finger up in front of his lips and made a "shush" gesture.
The black-haired boy shook his head gently and gestured again.
Irina seemed to understand what the other party meant. She suppressed her emotions and sat down again to enjoy her breakfast.
After the breakfast, Irina came to the lawn outside the castle, and the black-haired boy was already waiting there.
"Senior, thank you!"
Irina thanked him gratefully.
Lynn shook his head slightly and asked, "How is the injury of the girl with you?"
Lynn was referring to Hermione. Since he had not interacted with her this school year, he did not directly say Hermione's name.
Irina was stunned for a moment, then said in a clear voice: "Hermione has recovered very well, and thanks to the healing potion you gave us, Madam Pomfrey said that if it weren't for your healing potion stabilizing Hermione's injuries, she might not have made it to the hospital wing..."
The effect of that healing potion is particularly potent, even several times better than the healing potions that can be bought in Diagon Alley, which makes Irina feel that Lynn's life experience must be extraordinary.
"That's good, you should be careful this school year, after all, Hogwarts doesn't seem to be very peaceful this year..."
Lynn said meaningfully.
Irina nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, thank you, senior! By the way, my name is Irina Lowell, senior, just call me Irina!"
Lynn nodded slightly and said, "Lynn Rowle."
Is this senior actually from the Rowle family?!
Irina was a little surprised, but she was relieved when she thought that Lynn was from Slytherin.
Although he was from a pure-blood family, he was surprisingly good-natured!
Irina thought so.
Irina looked at Lynn's left hand and asked curiously: "By the way, Senior Lynn, when I saw you dealing with the troll yesterday, your left hand threw out flames... Was that wandless magic?!"
Irina's eyes sparkled. You know, the goal she is trying to conquer now is the wandless casting of the Freezing Charm. Maybe this senior can give her some advice!
Lynn nodded.
Irina said quickly: "Senior Lynn, to be honest, I am trying to cast the Freezing Charm without a wand, but I have been unable to find the key points. Although it is a bit presumptuous, please give me some advice!"
