Pretending that the Dementors were causing trouble, Draco, Goyle, Crabbe, and Marcus ultimately paid the price they deserved and received the punishment they warranted. Professor McGonagall sternly reprimanded them in front of everyone and deducted fifty points from their house. In addition, Professor Snape announced his decision to put them in detention until the end of the school year. Listening to the punishments handed down by the two professors, Harry was nearly laughing himself into a fit.

Although he couldn't be sure if he could now use his Patronus to escape the influence of the Dementors since they were only pretending to be them, he was already very satisfied just watching Malfoy get into trouble. He felt that nothing could ruin his wonderful mood at that moment. After politely congratulating Hermione and the surrounding Gryffindor classmates, Lin Yue walked down from the stands and gave a thumbs-up to the recently landed team members, including Cho Chang.

"Cho Chang, you were amazing."

Cho Chang smiled brightly and glanced back at where Harry was, where the Gryffindor lions were celebrating around them.

"Thank you for the compliment. Harry's talent in this area is truly frightening," she said, shaking her head. Perhaps it was similar to Lin Yue and Hermione's talent in magic; Harry's Quidditch talent was simply unreasonable. However, they really enjoyed this match and were completely satisfied with the outcome.

The Ravenclaws were clearly also very pleased with this exciting match; as for winning or losing, that was secondary. Led by Marietta and Penelope, the eagles surrounded their Quidditch players and celebrated them just like the victors.

Lin Yue stood on the Quidditch pitch, watching the scene unfold before her, a smile on her face that seemed impossible to fade.

She wanted to keep this moment forever in her mind, forever in her heart, forever at Hogwarts.

Turning to look at the majestic and magical Hogwarts Castle, Lin Yue's mind formed a clear definition of it.

This is her school, her home.

The victory in this match, along with the punishment of four Slytherins, brought the Gryffindors' joy to its peak.

They held an extravagant celebration in the common room, and Hermione temporarily left Lin Yue's dormitory to join the festivities.

The celebration continued until midnight, when Professor McGonagall had to intervene and put a stop to it.

She understood that the young wizards wanted to have fun, so she let them enjoy themselves for an entire afternoon and evening.

However, since they were still growing, staying up all night was something she, as a professor, absolutely could not allow.

"Everyone go to bed; you need to ensure your bodies get enough rest," Professor McGonagall said, watching all the little lions return to their dormitories before she left.

Without a doubt, Hermione went straight to bed in her dormitory in Gryffindor Tower.

At the same time, in Ravenclaw Tower, Lin Yue's bed curtains were drawn back, and she lay on her side, looking at Hermione's empty bed across from her, her bright eyes glinting in the darkness.

It wasn't until she remembered it was already midnight that she slowly closed her eyes and quickly fell into a dream.

"Ah! Help! Sirius Black! He's here!"

A boy's scream shattered the silence of the night, and the Gryffindor boys' dormitory instantly became lively.

Harry grabbed his wand and quickly jumped out of bed, pulling back the bed curtains and running two steps to Ron's bedside, where he saw the bed curtains slashed by a knife.

Ron himself was sitting on the bed with a look of terror on his face, staring ahead in shock.

Holding his wand tightly, Harry slowly backed up to the head of Ron's bed. At this point, the other young wizards had also woken up, getting out of their beds and looking at each other in confusion.

"Get your wands, everyone get your wands!"

Harry shouted anxiously, his eyes continuing to search the dormitory, carefully scanning all the possible hiding places.

"No, no, Harry!"

Ron seemed to snap back to reality from his panic, jumping off the bed and pulling Harry behind him, not even noticing that he hadn't grabbed his own wand.

"His target is you. Stay hidden behind me and don't move."

"Harry, Ron, what happened? What's going on?"

Neville, following Harry's instructions, held his wand and looked around cautiously, mimicking Harry's earlier stance.

"Black! Sirius Black! He was just here, right outside my bed, with a knife."

Ron said, his face pale, clearly still very frightened.

Despite this, his hand was still tightly gripping Harry's wrist, preventing him from moving out from behind him.

The grip was so strong that it made Harry's expression twist in discomfort. "Ron, Ron, calm down. Black is not in the dormitory anymore; he has left."

"Left?"

Ron looked around, and indeed, there was no sign of Sirius Black. The only figures around him were the little wizards who had been with them day and night, holding their wands and watching the surroundings vigilantly.

"He's really gone..."

The strength in Ron's body suddenly gave way, and he stumbled back two steps. Harry quickly supported him from behind and helped him onto his own bed.

"Just rest for a bit and take it easy."

Harry maintained absolute calm and turned back to Neville, "Neville, could you please go get Professor McGonagall?"

"Sure."

Neville nodded and turned to run out of the Gryffindor common room, while two other little wizards exchanged glances and silently followed him.

No matter what had just happened, it felt safer to have more people together.

So they couldn't let Neville go out alone.

Meanwhile, in the Ravenclaw tower, Lin Yue suddenly opened her eyes.

She turned over in bed, sat up, and pulled back the bed curtains. Without even putting on her shoes or socks, Lin Yue walked straight to the window and pushed it open.

A sharp cold wind rushed into the dormitory, waking up the soundly sleeping Cho Chang and Marietta.

"Is the window open?"

The two girls rubbed their eyes and sat up, pulling back their bed curtains just in time to see Lin Yue standing barefoot on the windowsill.

"Lin Yue! What are you doing?"

Without having time to think about anything else, Cho Chang jumped out of bed and ran to the window.

Lin Yue turned her head to look at her, her eyes displaying a mechanical calmness and precision, but deep down there were hints of human anxiety and concern.

“There’s been an incident in the Gryffindor dormitory. Stay here and wait for someone to call you.”

After saying this, she didn’t utter another word and leaped out of the window in front of Cho Chang and Marietta, who had just rushed to the window.

“Lin Yue!” ×2

Watching Lin Yue jump out of the window without even grabbing her wand, Cho Chang and Marietta instinctively exclaimed in surprise, but their trust in Lin Yue kept them from reaching out to pull her back.

What if pulling her back made things worse?

After a moment of free fall, Lin Yue suddenly stopped, floating steadily in mid-air. She had become quite adept at the non-verbal levitation charm.

The cold wind brushed against her cheeks, lifting her black hair, and the smooth surface of her feet reflected the moon's white light. Lin Yue slightly tilted her head and flew towards the nearby Gryffindor tower.
