The Ravenclaw Eagles watched Lynn with increasingly gentle and doting gazes, while the Gryffindor Little Lions nearby, knowing nothing of Lynn's past, were nearly driven mad by curiosity.
What was the deal with Lynn's Boggart? Why did she look so wretched, why did she look several years older? Why did everyone from Ravenclaw appear at the end, and why did Miss Granger from their own house show up too?
Thinking this, a few Little Lions who truly couldn't contain their curiosity asked the Little Eagles beside them.
"What exactly was the situation with Lynn's Boggart just now? Do you guys know?"
Looking at the curious Little Lion before him, the Little Eagle being questioned narrowed his eyes slightly and picked up his wand, slowly stroking it.
"I think, sometimes, it's better not to ask questions that shouldn't be asked. Don't you agree?"
The specifics of Lynn's situation were a Ravenclaw secret, kept to protect her and avoid triggering her.
Except for Lynn's friends, namely Harry and Ron, The Ravenclaws strictly adhered to their pact, not revealing a single detail about Lynn's past to anyone.
Not even their own parents were an exception.
So now, when the Gryffindor Little Lions asked about Lynn's Boggart, how could they possibly get an answer?
"Uh, yes..." The previously curious Little Lion looked at the wand being continuously stroked in the Little Eagle's hand and instantly felt his curiosity vanish.
"I'm not curious anymore. I don't want to know."
He shook his head vigorously. The Little Eagle nodded in satisfaction, put away his wand, and even reached out to pat the boy's shoulder.
"That's the spirit. Study hard, live well, and don't overthink other things."
"Right, right, right..." The Little Lion looked at the Little Eagle with an indescribable expression.
It felt like Ravenclaw's entire vibe had undergone a sudden transformation ever since Lynn arrived.
After Lynn's Boggart, the Young Wizards present either had pale faces and no motivation to continue, or were so immersed in talking to each other that they had no intention of continuing the lesson.
Seeing that it was almost time for the class to end, Professor Lupin simply stepped forward, intending to send the Boggart back into the wardrobe.
Lynn, who was sitting on a chair with Hermione's arm around her waist, looked up at him. She saw that when facing him, the Boggart turned into a sphere emitting a soft light.
A moon. Combining this with her previous deduction that Professor Lupin was a Werewolf, Lynn's brain instantly identified the object the Boggart had become.
Fear of becoming a Werewolf. Lynn blinked, a flicker of realization passing through her half-dead eyes.
No wonder Headmaster Dumbledore dared to let a Werewolf Wizard be a Professor; Professor Lupin likely belonged to the side of Werewolf Wizards who were unwilling to harm others.
This was evident from his fear of the full moon that would force his transformation.
Like Lynn, Hermione also saw the glowing orb the Boggart had turned into in front of Professor Lupin. However, she didn't possess as much information.
At this moment, she didn't know it was the moon. She felt a bit strange—was Professor Lupin... afraid of lamps?
The first Defense Against the Dark Arts class of the term ended with the ringing of the bell. Professor Lupin did not assign any homework to the Young Wizards.
He walked out of the classroom chatting and laughing with the Young Wizards, as gentle as a senior student, without any of the typical Professor's sternness.
Lynn was led into the Great Hall by Hermione, who kept an arm around her waist until they reached the Ravenclaw Table.
As they sat down to eat, the sound of Hermione talking to Senior Penelope reached Lynn's ears.
"Senior Penelope, I know you have the O.W.L.s Exam this year, but I still wanted to ask if you might have time to teach me the Patronus Charm?"
Hermione spoke with some hesitation and anxiety; she knew she shouldn't disturb someone preparing for exams.
But she couldn't help it. Among the students she knew who could cast the Patronus Charm, Senior Penelope was the one she was most familiar with and had the best relationship with.
"Of course, if you don't have time, forget it. I can ask someone else. I don't want to interfere with your exams."
Hearing Hermione's request, Penelope swallowed the piece of beef brisket she had been chewing for a while with a loud gulp.
She turned her head and nodded without hesitation. "Sure, no problem. Thanks to Lynn, my revision is going great right now, and I have plenty of free time."
Hearing Penelope say it was no problem, Hermione visibly relaxed and gave a bright smile.
"Then thank you, Senior Penelope."
