Perhaps handing the diary directly to Dumbledore could solve the problem right away, but Lynn wasn't sure if Dumbledore would actually go ahead and kill the basilisk instead of continuing with the so-called "savior development plan."
Moreover, he had no reason to know about the Horcruxes. If he hastily uttered the word "Horcruxes," he feared that he would be added to Dumbledore's list of suspects, even if his father had been a member of the Order of the Phoenix. A sacrifice.
Of course, maybe this was just his imagination, and Dumbledore didn't suspect as much as he thought.
But, as he had told Irina before, this wasn't a game or a novel; it was reality, and he wouldn't risk his life.
"Should I keep it? But... I'm afraid the Horcrux might affect me. You know, it's always hard to protect yourself from such evil things."
Irina said hesitantly.
Lynn gently waved the wand he had in his hand, and countless golden lights intertwined in the air, forming a golden magical circle that glowed with a strange light.
When Lynn placed his wand over the diary, the golden circle slowly fell over the diary and merged with it.
After doing this, Lynn said, "I just sensed the vitality in this diary. The vitality it absorbed from Ginny isn't much, and it might not be enough to help Tom leave the diary to control others. Furthermore, I've refined a sealing circle so that all of its abilities cannot extend beyond the diary."
"However, this sealing circle has a flaw. The diary must not be opened artificially. If the diary is opened artificially, the alchemical circle I set up will be ineffective."
Lynn told Irina.
Irina nodded and said, "I understand, I won't open the diary. Since there is a sealing circle, I'll keep it with me."
After deciding where to take the diary, the two left the Room of Requirement.
In the following days, everything in Hogwarts Castle went on as usual, and the so-called attack didn't happen again.
Soon, February 14th arrived.
During the breakfast banquet, the little witches and wizards were surprised to see that the walls on all sides of the auditorium were covered with large dazzling pink flowers, and there was a shower of heart-shaped confetti falling from the light blue ceiling.
At the professor's desk, Lockhart, dressed in a bright pink robe to match the decorations, was greeting the little wizards.
Upon seeing this scene, Harry and the others felt a little disgusted. They hated Lockhart, an eccentric person with no skill who liked to find ways to create a sense of presence.
"Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!" Lockhart stood in front of the professor's desk and said loudly. "So far, forty-six people have sent me greeting cards, and I would like to express my gratitude! Yes, I'm the one organizing this little surprise for everyone, and that's not all!"
Lockhart clapped and walked toward twelve gloomy-faced dwarfs through the doors leading to the lobby.
They were different from ordinary dwarfs. Lockhart had made them all wear golden wings and harps on their backs.
"My little friendly cupids with cards!" Lockhart said with a radiant smile. "Today, they'll be wandering around the school delivering Valentine's Day cards to you! The fun doesn't stop there! I'm sure my colleagues are also interested. Why not ask Professor Snape to teach you how to make a love potion? Professor Flitwick is more proficient in enchantments than any wizard I've known! A real old, clever dog!"
When Lockhart finished speaking, Professor Flitwick buried his face in his hands.
Judging by the expression on Professor Snape's face, it seemed that if anyone asked him about how to make a love potion, he would be forced to pour poison instead.
Professor Snape seemed to be resisting the urge to shoot Lockhart in the head with a powerful spell.
Looking at Lockhart on stage, Lynn seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of his mouth slightly lifted, revealing a malicious smile.
Throughout the day, these dwarfs handed out Valentine's Day cards to the little wizards in various classrooms, which greatly annoyed the professors. In the afternoon, Harry was also caught by a dwarf and had to accept a card while it sang a song.
This made Harry want to die and turn into vapor on the spot.
Irina, on the other hand, was very happy, eating melon, especially when she heard the dwarf sing, "His eyes are as green as freshly pickled toads." Irina couldn't help but laugh.
However, things took a turn, and this kind of thing soon fell on Irina.
"I have a message for Irina Lowell to deliver personally, with music and dance!"
After the last class in the afternoon, as soon as Irina left the classroom, a dwarf shouted her name.
Seeing this dwarf, Irina's smile froze, but Harry on the side showed a smug grin.
"I let you laugh at me before, now it's your turn!" Harry chuckled.
Indeed, the smile didn't disappear; it just changed.
At that moment, Irina looked at the dwarf expressionlessly. She swore that if the dwarf said something weird, she would hang him up, punch him, and make him find out who sent the message. Messengers were to be hung and smoked... together!
Seeing this little dwarf with a stinky face, she couldn't help but think.
"You make me so excited just walking toward me. I've never felt this way before..."
"You're mine and I'm yours..."
"If you look at me again, I'll explode. If you come closer, I'll melt..."
"..."
Irina stared at the dwarf singing and dancing in front of her with black lines on her face and felt her fists clenching.
"!!!Lynn!!!"
Irina gritted her teeth and said, and the cold aura she exuded made Harry and the others instinctively shrink their necks.
Before the dwarf could finish singing, Irina turned and tried to walk away.
"Stop, don't move!"
However, the dwarf quickly rushed forward and grabbed Irina's wizard robe.
During the tug, several books fell out of Irina's pocket, including the Horcrux diary that Irina was carrying.
Not far away, Ginny Weasley showed a look of horror when she saw the diary at Irina's feet.
"Expelliarmus! Petrificus Totalus! Stupefy!"
Irina was a little angry. She waved her wand continuously and cast three spells in succession.
She saw the red light bombard the dwarf's chest, sending him flying back, hitting the wall, and then slowly sliding down.
Before he could fall, the Full Body-Bind Curse locked him in place, and the Stunning Spell knocked him out cold.
Irina packed the books on the floor and turned around. She planned to settle accounts with Lynn.
