Flying to the outside of the Gryffindor tower, Lin Yue accurately found the window of Hermione's dormitory. At this moment, the girls in the dormitory had also been awakened by the sounds from outside and were sitting on their beds discussing something with each other.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

Three gentle knocks sounded. Even though it was an extremely soft sound, its sudden appearance in the quiet night made the other girls in the dormitory, except for Hermione, shiver collectively.

However, Hermione seemed to sense something and turned to look at the window where the sound had come from. There, she saw Lin Yue, wearing a thin nightgown and floating barefoot outside the window.

"Oh Merlin!"

Hermione, who had not been scared at all just moments ago, exclaimed and hurried over to pull the window open.

"Come in quickly."

As she spoke, she grabbed Lin Yue's hand. Following Hermione's pull, Lin Yue stepped barefoot onto the windowsill and jumped into the dormitory.

"Lin Yue?"

"Oh Merlin's lace stockings, how did you get here? Did you fly?"

The other girls in the dormitory looked at Lin Yue and couldn't help but show expressions of surprise. Meanwhile, Hermione quickly fetched her winter wizarding robe and draped it over Lin Yue, then took her hands and rubbed them in her palms continuously.

"Your hands are so cold; you should wear more clothes."

Hermione didn't care at all why Lin Yue had come or how she had gotten there; she only cared whether Lin Yue had gotten cold.

"I'm fine," Lin Yue replied in a flat tone.

Hermione acknowledged her response and tightened the winter wizard robe around her.

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

She pulled Lin Yue to sit on her bed and covered Lin Yue's bare feet with a blanket.

After doing all this and ensuring that Lin Yue wouldn't get cold, Hermione finally asked her why she had come and why she had come in this way.

"Feeling."

Lin Yue tilted her head slightly and answered in a somewhat dazed and mechanical manner.

"Feeling?" Hermione frowned in confusion. "What feeling?"

"I felt something was happening in the Gryffindor tower, and Hermione was here, and Harry and Ron were here too. I couldn't let anything happen to you."

"So you just came over?"

"Yes." Lin Yue nodded firmly.

"According to my analysis, flying directly in from the window is the fastest option; taking a route through the castle would take much longer."

"You," Hermione looked at Lin Yue with a mix of gratitude and concern, "when will you learn to put yourself first?"

"At least put on some clothes before coming; how much time would that save?"

In response to Hermione's statement, Lin Yue shook her head resolutely. "Every second I delay is another second of uncertainty and possibility."

"I can't gamble on possibilities; I need to ensure Hermione's safety and the safety of my friends."

"It's okay, we're all safe."

Hermione hugged Lin Yue tightly, gently patting her back.

"Just now, someone went out to ask, and it turns out that Sirius Black broke into the boys' dormitory next door. He used a knife to cut Ron's bed curtain, but Ron is fine, no one was hurt, and someone has already gone to find Professor McGonagall."

"Mm."

Lin Yue nodded in Hermione's embrace without surprise. When she saw through the window that Hermione and the others were sitting safely in the dormitory, she concluded that no one was injured and the situation was not urgent.

Otherwise, given Hermione's personality, she would definitely have rushed out to help, rather than staying calmly in the dormitory.

Feeling the warmth in Hermione's arms, Lin Yue nuzzled against her affectionately, but then straightened up the next moment.

"I need to find Harry."

"Find Harry? Why? He's fine."

Although Hermione was puzzled, she still handed Lin Yue a pair of her own socks and grabbed another wizard robe for herself, preparing to go to the boys' dormitory with her.

"Sirius Black just infiltrated and escaped; he probably hasn't gone far or is lingering around."

At this point, Lin Yue paused slightly, then leaned closer to Hermione's ear and whispered, "And Harry has the Marauder's Map. We can use it to check if Sirius Black is still nearby."

Only a few of them knew about the Marauder's Map, so Lin Yue would still take the initiative to keep it a secret for Harry.

"Right!"

Hermione's eyes instantly lit up; they could find Sirius Black's whereabouts through the Marauder's Map, as long as he hadn't gone too far and was still within the map's display range.

Thinking of this, the two girls immediately set off, quickly walking from the girls' dormitory to the boys' dormitory and knocking on the door.

“Harry, Harry, open the door quickly, it's me and Lin Yue.”

Hermione's voice rang out from outside the door, and Harry, who was calming Ron, immediately froze upon hearing it.

Hermione? How did she come from the girls' dormitory, and Lin Yue too? Wasn't she supposed to be in the Ravenclaw tower?

Getting up and walking to the door, Harry paused and cautiously asked, “Hermione, what did we protect in our first year?”

Hearing Harry's question, Hermione instantly understood his intention; he was afraid that she and Lin Yue were impersonating someone else.

“The Philosopher's Stone, from Professor Quirrell. He was a double agent, with Voldemort on the back of his head.”

“Alright, alright, no need to say more, come in.”

As soon as Harry heard Hermione mention Voldemort on Professor Quirrell's head, he immediately recalled that nauseating image and regretted asking Hermione that question; he should have asked something else.

The door opened, and Lin Yue and Hermione quickly walked in.

Before Harry could close the door, Lin Yue turned back to look at him, “Harry, where's the Marauder's Map?”
