Following Hermione and the others out of the Hogwarts library, Lin Yue calmly looked at Neville and the Malfoy group in front of her. Malfoy was flanked by his usual two lackeys, Crabbe and Goyle. At that moment, they were gathered together, pointing at Neville and laughing heartily, while Neville's legs were bound by a spell, forcing him to jump in place continuously.

Hermione furrowed her brows fiercely, pulled out her wand without hesitation, and pointed it at Neville. " Finite!"

Neville's legs were suddenly released, and he lost his balance, uncontrollably falling forward. Harry and Ron quickly reached out to catch him, while glaring angrily at Draco and his two companions.

"Malfoy! You're up to no good again!" Ron glared at Draco Malfoy, wishing he could kill him with just a look.Draco smirked disdainfully, slightly raising his chin towards Ron.

"I just learned a new spell; I need someone to test it on, don’t I?"

"You!" Harry drew his wand, pointing it directly at Malfoy.

"Harry! No!" Hermione reached out and tightly grasped Harry's wrist, shaking her head.

They couldn't use magic on Malfoy in the corridor; it would cause trouble for themselves and Gryffindor.

Harry gritted his teeth and reluctantly put away his wand.

"Tch..." Draco scoffed dismissively, turning around and leaving with his two "lackeys."

Ron closed his eyes for a moment, then turned to Neville, "Neville, you need to learn to stand up for yourself. Even if you don't use magic, you should still hit him!"

"I... I can't," Neville shook his head timidly, "I'm too scared."

"Maybe Malfoy is right. I... I really shouldn't be a Gryffindor; I'm not brave at all."

"Neville!" Ron looked at Neville with wide eyes, gripping his shoulders tightly, "Listen, in our eyes, you're stronger than twelve Malfoys put together, got it?"

Neville pressed his lips together and nodded slightly with minimal movement.

Lin Yue looked at Neville with a deadpan expression and said emotionlessly, "Endless tolerance will only encourage those who bully you to become more aggressive."

"According to the school's regulations, I suggest you seek help from a professor."

"Of course, it would be even better to just punch him!" Ron chimed in from the side, mimicking a punch in front of himself.

"I... I will try my best," Neville said, shrinking his neck and nodding in agreement.

Lin Yue glanced calmly at Ron; there was no doubt that his method had violated the rules. Retracting her gaze, Lin Yue politely greeted the four of them before heading back to the library to study. Hermione and the others returned to the Gryffindor common room with Neville to prevent Malfoy and his gang from causing trouble for Neville again. After agreeing with Hermione to get at least six hours of sleep every night, Cho Chang. and Marietta could see the "early sleeper" Lin Yue every day. Gradually, they became comforted by Lin Yue's current routine; at least it was much healthier than her previous one, wasn't it? However, no one knew that during those six hours of sleep at night, due to her incredibly accurate biological clock, Lin Yue would wake up once every hour, repeating this cycle over and over again.

A few days later, the Gryffindor Quidditch team's second match finally arrived. This time, the match was between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. Surprisingly, the referee for this match was Professor Snape.

"Professor Snape..." Ron exclaimed, dropping his fork in shock as he listened to Harry talk about the referee.

"Yeah," Harry nodded gravely, "he's the one officiating the match this time."

"Merlin's Bludger..." Ron picked up his fork again and fed himself a piece of sausage, "Is he trying to protect Harry?"

"I mean, if Professor Quirrell was indeed the one trying to harm Harry in the first Quidditch match..."

"That should be the case," Hermione nodded seriously, "but we can't rule out the possibility that he might cause some trouble for the Gryffindor team."

After all, it was a well-known fact within Hogwarts that Professor Snape particularly disliked Gryffindor.

Harry took a deep breath, his face full of determination. "I will catch the Golden Snitch as quickly as possible!"

"Go for it, mate! I believe in you," Ron said, giving Harry a hearty slap on the back, nearly knocking the mashed potatoes out of his mouth.

Harry turned back to Ron with a speechless look, thinking that his friend was the most dangerous when there was no danger around.

Hermione responded to this with a smile, lowering her head. Boys are always so full of energy.

That said, when it came to her own turn, she was not lacking in "energy" at all.

As she saw Lin Yue finish her breakfast and prepare to leave the hall, Hermione quickly put down her knife and fork and walked over.

"Lin Yue, good morning!" Hermione said cheerfully as she approached Lin Yue.

Lin Yue nodded expressionlessly. "Good morning, Hermione."

"Um..." Hermione hesitated as she looked at Lin Yue's unchanging expression. She wanted to invite Lin Yue to watch the Quidditch match with her, but remembering that Lin Yue had been punished for accompanying her to the last match, Hermione couldn't help but hesitate about whether she should extend the invitation.

Lin Yue quietly looked at Hermione, her voice showing no fluctuation. "Hermione, what's wrong?"

Hermione took a deep breath and smiled at Lin Yue again, "Um... I was thinking, would you like to join me for another Quidditch match? I wonder if that's possible..."

Lin Yue nodded calmly and answered without hesitation, "No problem."

Hermione pressed her lips together, her gaze fixed intently on Lin Yue, "You promise me, you won't punish yourself for this. You agreed before that you wouldn't punish yourself over studying anymore."

Lin Yue slowly nodded, his voice as calm as a still pond, "Okay, I won't punish myself."

"That's good," Hermione sighed in relief, "Then tomorrow morning, shall we go to the Quidditch pitch together?"

"Sure." Lin Yue nodded in agreement.

Hermione smiled happily, turned around, and returned to sit with Harry and Ron, continuing to enjoy her lunch. Lin Yue, on the other hand, calmly stepped out of the hall and quickly walked towards the History of Magic classroom. Upon entering the History of Magic classroom, Lin Yue was not surprised to see the ghostly professor; Professor Binns was already floating at the podium. This ghostly professor didn't need to eat or rest, and he always arrived early for class. He was the only professor in all of Hogwarts who could arrive at the classroom even earlier than Lin Yue.

Lin Yue sat in the classroom, casually pulling out books from her backpack and starting to read. She had already memorized the textbook for the History of Magic completely, so she didn't need to review before class and instead used the time to read some new books.

Just as Lin Yue finished reading a dozen pages, other Ravenclaw eagles and Hufflepuff badgers began to enter the History of Magic classroom one after another. Once everyone had arrived, class time started, and Professor Binns, without even looking at how many students were present, immediately began his lecture.

The ghost's voice, devoid of tone and inflection, had a certain hypnotic effect as it echoed in the students' ears. Soon, the Hufflepuff badgers couldn't help but yawn one after another, and within just five minutes of class, a large number of them had fallen asleep.

Professor Binns was completely indifferent to this, as if he couldn't see it, and continued with his lecture. Before long, even the diligent Ravenclaw eagles began to struggle. If the course content were merely difficult, they wouldn't be too afraid; in fact, they were somewhat curious about just how challenging the class would be.

However, this class was not difficult; it was hypnotic. Professor Binns's voice drilled into their heads like a small drill, saying, "You are very sleepy... go to sleep... you are very sleepy... go to sleep."

In the blink of an eye, almost all the eagles were yawning. They instinctively glanced at Lin Yue, only to see that she was in the same state as usual, showing no signs of sleepiness even while listening to Professor Binns's lecture. The Ravenclaw eagles admired her in their hearts, and after confirming that Lin Yue was diligently taking notes, they immediately surrendered to their drowsiness and laid their heads down on their desks to sleep.

After all, Lin Yue was taking notes seriously, so they could borrow her notes later to copy the key points. As for now, of course, it was time to rest well!

Lin Yue had no particular opinion about her classmates falling asleep in class. She only glanced at the sleeping students for a few seconds before quickly looking back at Professor Binns, her note-taking actions not pausing for a moment. At the same time, thoughts flashed through her mind: sleeping in class means not taking learning seriously, not taking learning seriously is wrong, not taking learning seriously can lead to declining grades, and declining grades can lead to being expelled...

Lin Yue looked up at Professor Bins with a calm expression, her hand continuously taking notes. Perhaps the two most similar people in the entire classroom were Lin Yue and Professor Bins; they were like two precision instruments constantly in operation. They made no mistakes, showed no fatigue, and had no extra thoughts or feelings.

After the History of Magic class ended, Lin Yue, as usual, lent her notes to her fellow Ravenclaw students. After they finished copying, the notes would circulate among the Hufflepuff students before finally returning to Lin Yue's hands. All these steps would be completed in two days, with everyone doing their best not to delay Lin Yue's time for reviewing her notes.

The next morning, during breakfast, Lin Yue received her History of Magic notebook back from Hannah. With a blank expression, she nodded at Hannah and replied in a flat tone, "Thank you for your hard work."

"No, no," Hannah quickly waved her hand, "We should thank you for letting us copy your History of Magic notes."

Lin Yue gave no response, simply turning to put the notebook into her backpack. Hannah looked at Lin Yue, who exuded an air of calmness and always had a blank expression. The initial fear she had felt towards Lin Yue had gradually faded over time spent with her.

Hannah could see that Lin Yue was a good person; although she could be a bit "strange" at times, that did not overshadow her charm. After putting away her notebook, Lin Yue sat down and quickly began eating her breakfast. Once she finished, she quietly sat on the Ravenclaw bench, waiting for Hermione to arrive. Fortunately, Hermione did not keep Lin Yue waiting for long; before long, she hurriedly finished her breakfast and ran from the Gryffindor table to the Ravenclaw table.

"Lin Yue! Let's go!" Hermione said excitedly as she looked at Lin Yue, as the Quidditch match didn't hold any special attraction for her.

Because she wasn't really interested in Quidditch, her excitement was entirely about being able to watch the match with Lin Yue again.

Hermione led Lin Yue out of the Great Hall, while Harry and Ron followed behind, eating their breakfast. The little eagles from Ravenclaw watched helplessly as the pride of Ravenclaw, was taken away by a Gryffindor.

"That's the second time..." Cho Chang said, watching Hermione and Lin Yue walk out of the Great Hall, unable to help but click her tongue.

"Yeah, the second time," Marietta nodded in agreement, though a glint of something flashed in her eyes.

"Speaking of which, Lin Yue really can take Hermione's advice. When I first told her about her schedule, she didn't listen at all," Cho Chang pouted, pretending to complain.

Marietta looked at her friend, who had suddenly turned into a drama queen, and shook her head with amusement.

"Of course, you can't compare yourself to Miss Granger."

"What do you mean?" Cho Chang turned sharply to look at Marietta, her eyes narrowing dangerously.

Are you saying I can't compare to Granger? Isn't that indirectly insulting myself?

Seeing the dangerous look in her friend's eyes, Marietta quickly raised her hands in surrender, "You misunderstood!"

"I didn't mean to say you were inferior to Granger in any way."

"Then what do you mean?" Cho Chang asked, furrowing her brows in confusion.

Marietta widened her eyes slightly, looking at Cho Chang in disbelief.

"Don't you realize?"

"Realize what?" Cho Chang felt even more confused.

Marietta looked around and leaned closer to Cho Chang's ear, "The way Lin Yue treats Granger, and the way Granger treats Lin Yue, is completely different from how they treat others."

"And it's obvious... Lin Yue listens to Granger's advice but doesn't listen to ours."

"Uh-huh," Cho Chang nodded, "And then?"

"Then, of course," Marietta said with a look that said, 'how can you be so slow', extending her hands, one finger pointing out, then bringing her hands closer and closer until the two fingers touched, "Do you understand?"

Cho Chang watched Marietta's actions and, after a few seconds of contemplation, finally realized what she was saying.

"This... how is that possible? I mean... they're both girls, right?"

Marietta looked at the stunned Cho Chang and waved her hand dismissively, "What's the big deal? When it comes to real feelings, gender doesn't matter."
