At that moment, Lockhart found himself in a dilemma. As Lynn had pointed out, his supposed method of integrating textbooks into the classroom involved having the students perform scenes from the book and act out comedies for their peers.
After the Dark Arts Defense class yesterday, Lockhart fully realized he lacked the ability to handle dark creatures, so he decided to stick to what he knew best—his own books—in order to avoid using magic in the classroom.
Lockhart, his thoughts exposed, had no intention of continuing to engage with Lynn. He hastily responded, "The professor, naturally, has his own reasons, Mr. Rolle! Don't worry! It doesn't matter if you don't have my book. It's just a pity that Mr. Rolle won't fully experience the beauty of Defense Against the Dark Arts like the other students!"
Seeing Lockhart shudder, Lynn smiled and didn't press further, giving Lockhart an easy out.
Soon, the bell rang, and Lockhart hurried out of the classroom, as if fleeing.
Lynn shook his head, put his alchemy books back into his bag, and stood up to leave.
Unlike Irina, who excelled only in magic, Lynn now had extremely high achievements in both magic and alchemy. He no longer needed to hold back and develop at a slow pace like he did in first and second year.
After all, in terms of magical power, he could easily defeat an elite Auror. In terms of alchemy, no one in the British magical world could surpass Professor Dumbledore, and even in the French magical world, rich in alchemists, Lynn was good enough to rank among the top!
Therefore, when facing a fraud like Lockhart who deceived the world and stole his reputation, Lynn didn't need to pretend to be an average student and waste time on such useless classes as he had when dealing with Quirrell.
If he had the time, he might as well read one or two more alchemy books!
Soon, Lynn returned to the Slytherin dormitory.
The Malfoy trio wasn't in the dorm at the moment because they weren't in the same year as Lynn, and therefore had different class schedules. For example, Lynn didn't have class at that moment, but the Malfoy trio had to go to the dungeon classroom for Potions class.
However, this also had certain advantages. Lynn could learn the whereabouts of Irina and others through Malfoy's class schedule.
After all, the Gryffindors in the same year usually attended classes with the Slytherins.
"It's time."
Lynn took an exquisite alchemy box from his desk drawer. This alchemy box was exactly what he had specially refined before the start of the term. It had two locks, one hot and one cold, hanging at the opening of the box.
After a year, both Lynn and Irina had come to believe in their hearts that the other was also a reincarnator.
However, both had tacitly understood each other and never spoken to reveal the other's identity as a reincarnator. This unspoken understanding had been maintained for an entire year.
Now, Lynn decided to take the initiative and break this invisible barrier.
As for the alchemy box in Lynn's hands, it was the final test he had prepared for Irina.
Lynn left the dorm with the box and headed toward the Gryffindor common room in Gryffindor Tower.
Upon reaching the Fat Lady's portrait, Lynn stopped a fourth or fifth-year Gryffindor girl and said, "Excuse me, could you please deliver this box to Irina of Gryffindor?"
When the Gryffindor girl saw Lynn, she was taken aback and asked, "I remember you. You're Lynn Rohr, right?"
At last year's end-of-year feast, Professor Dumbledore awarded points to both Lynn and Irina, and the story of the two fighting against the remnant soul of Voldemort spread widely among second-year students and above. That's why this Gryffindor girl recognized Lynn.
After Lynn confirmed, the Gryffindor girl took the alchemy box from his hand, nodded, and said, "Don't worry, I'll pass it on to Irina."
After handing over the alchemy box, Lynn returned to the Slytherin dormitory to practice alchemy, intending to review the alchemy skills he had learned from Mr. Green during the summer holidays.
For Lynn today, he had plenty of time.
Lynn was already a third-year student at Hogwarts this year and needed to take elective courses to continue his studies.
Lynn didn't plan to take all twelve electives like Hermione. In his opinion, it was better to spend more time specializing in a few skills rather than studying widely but not mastering anything.
Therefore, in addition to the seven required courses of Transfiguration, Herbology, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Potions, Charms, Astronomy, and History of Magic, Lynn only took the Ancient Runes course.
For Lynn, an alchemist, the Ancient Runes course at Hogwarts was no different from a self-study course.
After all, the knowledge covered in the Ancient Runes course was essential for Lynn's alchemy studies two years ago, and it was already deeply ingrained in his mind.
Even Professor Bathsheda Babbling, who was responsible for teaching Ancient Runes, might not know as much about ancient runes as Lynn did!
Compared to other young wizards who had taken many electives, Lynn didn't need to run around the various classrooms of the castle every day. Since the existence of elective courses affected the professors' schedules, the number of hours for the seven mandatory courses had been significantly reduced.
The reduction in classes gave Lynn plenty of time each week to study alchemy.
As time passed, it was soon lunchtime.
The students went to the Great Hall to eat, and after lunch, they returned to their respective common rooms.
Irina gave the Fat Lady's portrait the Gryffindor password and then took Hermione's hand as they entered the Gryffindor common room.
Just as Irina was about to return to her dormitory, an older Gryffindor girl stopped her: "Lowell, this is something Lynn asked me to give to you."
With that, the older Gryffindor student handed Irina the alchemy box.
"Lynn gave me something? Alright, thank you, older sister!"
Irina quickly thanked her and then looked at the alchemy box in her hand.
At first, she was still smiling, but after seeing the five strange but familiar sources on the box, she completely trembled and then turned pale with fear.
On the front of the alchemy box, golden lines outlined five beautiful sources. These were words that Hermione, Harry, and Ron couldn't understand, but Irina was very familiar with them.
