Miss Granger Advises Me To Stop Study
Chapter 150: The Strange Driver, Student Minister.

Chapter 150: The Strange Driver, Student Minister.

"Wow!"

Hermione let out a small gasp, and Lin Yue suddenly turned and threw herself into her arms, which left her momentarily stunned and made her heart race a few beats.

Even the fearful expression she had just put on her face disappeared because of this.

Lin Yue's shoulders trembled slightly as she curled up in Hermione's embrace, her voice soft and shaky, as if she were genuinely terrified. "Hermione... something just grabbed my ankle, and I didn't even see what it was."

Hermione quickly regained her composure, realizing that Lin Yue was starting to act, and a sense of gratitude for the haunted house flashed through her mind.

Without hesitation, she wrapped her arms around Lin Yue, who had actively thrown herself into her embrace, and gently patted her back, once again displaying the same terrified expression.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just... just a bunch of NPCs, they're all fake, all fake."

Hermione, who took everything seriously, acted scared with equal intensity at that moment. Her way of speaking, tone, and inflection all conveyed unmistakable fear.

The self-soothing aspect of her words even made the fear she expressed seem more credible.

The haunted house manager watched the surveillance from backstage, and seeing that the newly redesigned and rebuilt haunted house was finally able to scare these two little girls, he finally showed a satisfied smile.

As they walked through, various traps and NPCs appeared one after another, leaving Lin Yue and Hermione looking pale with fright.

Of course, they didn't pretend to be scared at every turn; that would have been too fake.

On the surface, Lin Yue trembled in fear while nestled in Hermione's arms, but in reality, her eyes were constantly scanning ahead and to the sides, and with her sense of hearing, she could almost 100% determine the setup of each trap and NPC.

Based on these setups, she would evaluate a comprehensive scare index for each fright.

Only when they reached a place with a higher comprehensive scare index would she let out a scream, immediately followed by Hermione.

After all, there was only about half a second between their screams, so others wouldn't be able to tell.

One surprising thing during their walk was that two years later, the girl who pretended to be a witch brewing mung bean soup in the haunted house was still working there.

Perhaps the pay at this amusement park was quite good, so she couldn't bear to leave?

Regardless of the reason, Lin Yue and Hermione ultimately succeeded in exiting the haunted house.

As they felt the glaring sunlight shining down, Lin Yue squinted her eyes to adjust, then opened them again.

Straightening up, she looked at Hermione with a face that feigned relief.

"Finally, it's over."

"Yeah, it was so scary," Hermione nodded vigorously, a look of relief on her face as well.

"Our haunted house was pretty well redesigned this time, right?"

The haunted house manager approached, asking the two girls for their opinions with a hint of pride on his face.

Many of the creative ideas for this redesign were personally sourced by him from professional designers.

"Very good, really very, very scary!"

Hermione raised her hand and gave a thumbs up. To be honest, based on the design of this haunted house, if she weren't a young witch, and if she hadn't experienced the various events of the past two years, including this year, she could really have been scared.

"That's right," Lin Yue nodded, still feeling a bit uneasy. "If your haunted house were to be rated, the overall horror index would definitely be very high."

"Hahaha, thank you for the compliment. We will continue to improve it."

"With what you two just said, we feel much more confident about officially operating the haunted house tomorrow."

"You're welcome," Lin Yue's face gradually returned to calmness. "We're just speaking the truth."

The overall scare index of this haunted house should indeed be quite high, but unfortunately, both she and Hermione were young witches and simply couldn't be frightened by these fake and phony things.

It should be said that any young witch from Hogwarts would not be scared at all. Who in Defense Against the Dark Arts hasn't learned about werewolves? Who hasn't learned about vampires?

There are pictures in the textbooks, and the professors have also taught how to distinguish between them. At a glance, could anyone really not tell the difference between a real vampire and a fake one, or a real werewolf and a fake one?

As for witches... aren't they themselves witches? Would they really be afraid of themselves?

So this haunted house could only be very effective for Muggles; for the wizarding community, it was completely useless.

After chatting for a while longer, Lin Yue and Hermione finally left the amusement park. They had already been to this amusement park before and had no desire to go through those attractions again.

Moreover, they needed to hurry back home to do their homework, as they were going to watch the Quidditch World Cup finals during the upcoming holiday, and they didn't want to delay their homework until then.

With the full efforts of Lin Yue and Hermione, all the assignments from every subject at Hogwarts were completed in less than a week. This was still the result of the third-year assignments being significantly more than those of the first and second years.

Otherwise, based on the workload of the first and second years at Hogwarts, Lin Yue and Hermione could probably finish everything in just a few days with their full effort.

Of course, the third-year workload was more, but it was only relatively more. If it were truly to the extent that the assignments would trouble young witches, that would be absolutely impossible.

Learning is about progress, not torment; the professors at Hogwarts would never make such a mistake.

After finishing their homework, Lin Yue and Hermione completely relaxed. Just like during the previous holiday, Lin Yue was "under a ban" from Hermione.

She could only start thinking about studying once the new school year's book list was sent over. Until the new school year's book list arrived, she wasn't allowed to think about anything related to studying.

Lin Yue obediently nodded in agreement with Hermione's request. In the following weeks, they worked together to weed the garden, went fishing by the river, and sketched in the park—basically, they did whatever leisurely activities they could.

The carefree girls leisurely went through almost all the slow-paced relaxation activities.

The Granger couple was very satisfied with the two girls' lifestyle arrangements. Their daughter had put down her books, and Lin Yue wasn't focused on studying either; both kids were out and about, playing and having fun, which made them very pleased.

A slow-paced life actually passed quite quickly. It wasn't until Harry's letter arrived at the Granger home that they realized the Quidditch World Cup finals were approaching so soon.

Opening Harry's letter, he mentioned that Sirius had already bought tickets for Lin Yue and Hermione, and if it was convenient for them, they could arrive at the Burrow (Ron’s home) at any time tomorrow, and then the three of them could go together to the Quidditch World Cup finals.

"When does Hermione plan to go?"

Lin Yue quickly read through the letter at a glance and then turned to Hermione, her voice mechanical and emotionless.

"Well... if it's any time tomorrow, how about the morning? Let's try to visit early, but not too early, so we won't disturb their rest."

"Okay, that sounds reasonable," Lin Yue nodded in agreement.

"Mom, Lin Yue and I plan to go to Ron's house tomorrow morning. I mentioned it to you before; Sirius wants to invite Lin Yue and me to watch the Quidditch World Cup final, so everyone will gather at Ron's house and then go together."

Hermione informed her mother about her and Lin Yue's upcoming plans during dinner.

Although her parents were indeed very trusting and gave her a lot of freedom, both she and Lin Yue were still underage, and since they were going out for more than just a day, it was necessary to inform them.

"Sounds good," Mrs. Granger nodded. "I'll prepare some cookies for you two tonight to take as a gift."

Mr. Granger also smiled and reminded Hermione, "Remember to stay safe while watching the match."

"Mm-hmm, don't worry, Dad."

Lin Yue, expressionless, added, "Uncle, rest assured, I won't let anything happen to Hermione."

Moreover, the main organizer of this Quidditch World Cup final, besides the Ministry of Magic, was the merchants under her management.

So, in addition to the Aurors from the Ministry, she had arranged for dozens of qualified wizards to serve as security.

Safety shouldn't be too much of an issue; if something happened that even the Aurors and her arranged security couldn't handle, she would still be there.

No matter what they encountered, she could always keep bad people and bad things away from Hermione.

No matter what needed to be done, no matter how it needed to be done.

After communicating with the Grangers in advance, Lin Yue and Hermione headed to the Burrow together the next morning.

Just when Hermione thought they would need to take the Knight Bus, Lin Yue pulled her towards a black car parked by the roadside.

"Thank you, Lin Yue, is this the car you arranged?"

Hermione watched as the young lady driver opened the car door for her. She first thanked her and then turned to Lin Yue with curiosity.

"Yes," Lin Yue nodded affirmatively, her expression unchanged. "The experience on the Knight Bus is really poor and would make Hermione uncomfortable, so I bought a magical car in advance and hired this driver."

"Oh, oh."

Hermione replied hesitantly, but she still felt that there was something a bit off about this driver lady... It just seemed to her that she didn't feel like a simple driver. But since Lin Yue said she was a driver and she was indeed doing the job of a driver, then what else could she be if not a driver?

Shaking her head with a smile, Hermione sighed to herself, realizing that she was being a bit too sensitive, and then she got into the car.

Lin Yue followed her in, and after the driver closed the door, she scanned the surroundings and the nearby heights with a conscious gaze before returning to the driver's seat, slowly starting the car and driving away.

On the other side, the Granger couple, who were driving to the dentist's office for work, completely failed to notice that a car was following them in a protective manner from a diagonal behind, and it had been doing so for nearly two months.

The magical car actually has functions similar to the Knight Bus; it can slip through small gaps that ordinary Muggle vehicles cannot, and it has a speed that ordinary Muggle vehicles cannot match, all while remaining completely unnoticed by Muggles.

However, it is significantly more comfortable than the Knight Bus.

Whether it was due to Lin Yue's special magical treatment of the car, sitting inside it felt completely smooth, without any bumps or the sensation of acceleration.

Moreover, the interior space was unusually large, equipped with a TV, a refrigerator, and even a writing desk, despite the fact that it looked like an ordinary small car on the outside, not a stretched luxury vehicle at all.

"Tsk tsk tsk, not to mention anything else, just this car alone, if it were to enter the Muggle market... I think none of the existing models could compare."

"Does Hermione think so too?" Lin Yue turned her head and handed Hermione a bottle of chilled juice.

"Yeah." Hermione opened the juice and took a sip, then as if realizing something, she raised an eyebrow and looked at Lin Yue.

"From the tone of your voice, are you actually thinking of getting this car into the Muggle market? That doesn't comply with the Statute of Secrecy, does it?"

Lin Yue took a sip of the cola in her hand; she still liked this drink the most, the one she first had with Hermione.

"That's just not in line with the current Wizarding Confidentiality Act," she corrected Hermione's wording with a blank expression.

"Current Wizarding Confidentiality Act?" Hermione frowned, not quite understanding what Lin Yue meant.

Lin Yue turned to look at Hermione, her eyes filled with calmness and calculation.

"Peter Pettigrew has escaped from prison, and there is a 95% chance he will go looking for Voldemort."

"This will greatly accelerate Voldemort's resurrection and return."

"Mm..." Hermione nodded thoughtfully; she had already considered this point.

Compared to having no one capable by her side, even though Peter Pettigrew was not very competent, having him around Voldemort would definitely speed up the process of his resurrection and return.

"According to Fudge's personality analysis, he will definitely not admit to the fact that Voldemort has returned; he just needs to deceive everyone in the British magical community first."

"And then, when the truth is revealed to everyone in the British magical community, Fudge will inevitably step down. At that time..."

Lin Yue slowly pointed at Hermione, her voice still as calm as water, "Hermione can then draft a new confidentiality act, and as for the International Confederation of Wizards, it doesn't matter at all."

"Am I going to be the Minister of Magic directly?" Hermione couldn't help but laugh, "If what you say is true, by the time Fudge steps down, I might not even have graduated from Hogwarts yet."

"Mm," Lin Yue took a indifferent sip of her cola, a brilliant smile curving her lips, "The first student Minister in history, great, right?"

Hermione looked closely at Lin Yue, and after confirming she was serious, she nodded solemnly, "Great, but that means I need to prepare even more seriously."

"I have to do well enough to secure my position as the student Minister of Magic."
