Principal Dumbledore looked at Lin Yue, who was being hugged by Hermione, and felt a shiver run down his spine.

He had once taught Tom, so he knew that he was Voldemort. However, even he knew almost nothing about the Gaunt family or the Chamber of Secrets.

Yet Lin Yue was able to deduce that Voldemort was once Hogwarts' model student, Tom Riddle, based solely on some book content. She could also infer that he was the heir of Slytherin and had opened the Chamber fifty years ago.

She even figured out that the monster in the Chamber was a basilisk, using information from the books along with some details from the scene.

With a complex expression, Dumbledore looked at Lin Yue and began to feel grateful that she had Hermione and a group of friends by her side. Otherwise, if this girl were to walk a path similar to Voldemort's, she would undoubtedly become an even more terrifying existence than Voldemort himself.

"You... you stupid monster! Mudblood, how dare you!"

Finally, some of the Slytherins reacted as if the sky had fallen.

A sixth-year wizard who believed in pure blood superiority drew his wand and pointed it directly at Lin Yue, spouting insults without even considering that the professors were still present.

Her arguments about Voldemort's heritage were well-founded, especially the way she transformed the letters, which left no room for rebuttal.

It was an established fact that Voldemort was half-blood.

But precisely because of this, the young wizards from pure-blood families were even angrier.

Did this not mean that their families had been deceived? Did this not mean that the pure-blood ideology they had pursued all along was fundamentally a joke?

This was something they absolutely could not accept!

"What’s the matter? Want to fight?"

Unfortunately, it wasn't just the Slytherin students present; the Ravenclaw students were also there. Before Lin Yue could draw her wand, a sixth-year Ravenclaw had already pulled out their wand and pointed it directly at the sixth-year Slytherin, with sparks flying from the tip of the wand.

It was clear that they were ready to attack. The Slytherin was momentarily stunned, gritting his teeth as he looked at the Ravenclaw beside him. If it came to a fight, he wouldn’t be able to beat Ravenclaw of the same year.

These bookworms read a lot and knew many spells. But it wasn't like these bookworms were usually immersed in their own world, ignoring everyone else. Why was there suddenly a senior stepping up for that damn Lin Yue?

"Put down your wand, Carlos."

Another seventh-year Slytherin raised his wand at Carlos, who was confronting his junior on this side.

"It’s you who should put down your wands."

Penelope's usually gentle voice had an unusual chill to it. As soon as she finished speaking, all the Eagles raised their wands at the Slytherins around them.

Even the normally mild-mannered Hufflepuffs raised their wands, joining the Ravenclaws to surround the Slytherins.

The Gryffindors also drew their wands without hesitation; no matter what, if it was a Slytherin they were dealing with, they had to get involved.

As for Lin Yue, she was firmly shielded behind Hermione, Harry, and Ron.

All three houses had their wands pointed at the Slytherins, and Professor Snape's face was ashen.

Principal Dumbledore looked somewhat uncertainly in the direction of Lin Yue. The Ravenclaws had always been reclusive, focusing solely on their own fields of research. How did Lin Yue manage to unite them all and have such a unified front? More importantly, why were the Hufflepuffs getting involved? Just as he was about to speak and ask everyone to lower their wands, Lin Yue stepped out of Hermione and the others' "protective circle" ahead of him.

"I’m just speaking the truth," Lin Yue's voice remained mechanical and devoid of emotion. "Based on the known information and reasonable analysis, I can ensure that the accuracy of the results I provide is over ninety percent."

"If you have doubts, you can present evidence or data to refute me, and I would appreciate someone correcting my mistakes."

Lin Yue's face was expressionless, but her words were polite. However, the next moment, what she said made people feel uneasy.

Looking at the Ravenclaw students being threatened by the Slytherin snakes with their wands pointed at them, and even at Hermione and the others, Lin Yue spoke words that Draco Malfoy found incredibly familiar.

"But now, can I understand that you are threatening Hermione, the Ravenclaw students, and the Hufflepuff students?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the air around them seemed to freeze, and everyone couldn't help but look in Lin Yue's direction. Yet, in the next moment, they couldn't bear to keep their eyes on her, feeling a piercing heat and intensity emanating from her. Only Professor Dumbledore was able to maintain his gaze on her.

Stolen story; please report.

"We... didn't mean it like that." Draco Malfoy was the first to lower his wand. He looked completely deflated, like a frostbitten eggplant.

"Draco!" Pansy shouted in disbelief as she looked at him.

The honor of the pure-blood family had been tarnished, their pursuits shattered—how could they just let it go like this?

"Malfoy!"

"Draco!"

Shouts echoed through Slytherin; some were confused, some unwilling to lower their wands, but others, seeing that the situation was not right, wisely put down their wands.

After all, the incident involving Lin Yue and the Malfoy father and son in Diagon Alley had spread quite a bit.

"Put down your wands! Have you all forgotten to keep a Self-preservation?"

Draco gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Do they think I would be willing to back down?"

It was not a matter of backing down; that Lin Yue from Ravenclaw might seem calm and indifferent on the surface, but when she got into action, she was actually a madwoman! Completely reckless.

If they didn't get these people to put down their wands, he had no doubt that Lin Yue could directly use magic to throw them all off the second floor.

To protect himself, upon hearing this, the little snakes finally regained their senses and put away their wands. Seeing them put away their wands, the Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs followed suit, and the Gryffindors also put away their wands and returned to their positions.

"You, you really are," Professor McGonagall looked at the little wizards with some exasperation, clutching her chest and speaking angrily, "Slytherin insults a classmate, deduct fifty points. Drawing wands on a classmate, deduct fifty points. Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Gryffindor will also each lose fifty points for drawing wands on a classmate."

Principal Dumbledore listened quietly from the side, his eyes showing a hint of helplessness. The conflicts between the four houses of Hogwarts were ultimately growing larger.

Professor Flitwick slightly raised his head and gave a look of approval to the little eagles.

It's good to know that they can unite to protect their own.

Professor Sprout, on the other hand, was indifferent; in her view, the Hufflepuffs actions were not wrong.

It was just that this new generation of Hufflepuffs was a bit hot-tempered.

Ravenclaw lost fifty points, and while Lin Yue listened to Professor McGonagall's words without any change in her expression, her mind was quickly racing with thoughts.

Everyone drew their wands and confronted Slytherin because of her; it was because she had analyzed Voldemort's background, so... was the main reason for the point deduction because of her?

Reaching the "correct conclusion," Lin Yue lowered her head, walked down a few steps, and joined the group of Ravenclaws.

Seeing Lin Yue with her head down, the little eagles thought their precious one was scared. Just as they were about to comfort her, they heard her characteristic stiff tone.

"I'm sorry everyone, it's because of me that Ravenclaw lost points."

"What?" The Ravenclaws collectively froze for a moment, then immediately became lively, each speaking up.

"This has nothing to do with you, Lin Yue."

"It's not your fault; that Slytherin pointed their wand at you first."

Everyone chimed in to comfort Lin Yue, and it was only when Penelope signaled for everyone to stop that they finally quiet down.

"Lin Yue, we Ravenclaws are a whole," Penelope said, placing her hands on Lin Yue's shoulders. "You are especially precious to all of us."

The Ravenclaws around them nodded in agreement, even the first-year little eagles. They all really liked this senior who was serious about teaching and extremely patient when helping them with their homework.

"So, no matter who bullies you, we will stand together against them, understand? This is not your fault; this is our choice as Ravenclaws."

The eagle spreads its wings wide, firmly protecting those it wishes to shelter.

"I understand, thank you all."

Lin Yue lifted her head, her tone still stiff, but a few crystal tears slipped from the corners of her eyes.

For some reason, her heart felt like it was burning. Moreover, she felt so warm around her, and her body was so tired; she wanted to sleep...

But it wasn't time for her to sleep yet. She shook her head, and a warm embrace supported her from behind.

"Tired?" Cho Chang gently whispered in her ear.

Lin Yue hesitated for a moment and slowly nodded.

Hermione looked at Lin Yue, who was surrounded by the Ravenclaws and being supported by Senior Cho Chang and let out a sigh of relief; at least she was okay.

Thinking about what Lin Yue had just said, she took a deep breath and turned to Professor McGonagall.

"Professor McGonagall," Hermione said, swallowing nervously, "Lin Yue pointed out the secret of the Chamber of Secrets and even revealed the secret of the Heir. Shouldn't she be awarded points?"

Professor McGonagall was taken aback for a moment, looking at Lin Yue, who was surrounded in the middle of the Ravenclaw group.

This... why does it feel like she has become the villain? Amused, she shook her head and shifted her gaze to Hermione.

Not even aware of her own feelings yet, and she’s already protecting her. It seems that Miss Granger from their house is indeed someone who feels deeply.

Professor McGonagall looked at Hermione with approval, slightly raising her chin and saying seriously,

"Of course it's worth it, but let's have Professor Flitwick award the points to Miss Lin Yue."

Saying this, she turned to Professor Flitwick, who nodded in agreement.

"Miss Lin Yue, your reading comprehension and analytical skills are undoubtedly the strongest among the students I have taught. For revealing the truth to us,"

"And for preventing everyone from wrongly accusing a classmate," he added, glancing at Harry, "Ravenclaw gets one hundred and fifty points."

Not only did they make up for the fifty points lost earlier, but they also gained an additional one hundred points.

The members of Ravenclaw couldn't help but cheer upon hearing this, and Lin Yue was silently pondering in her mind.

Perhaps just now... she really didn't do anything wrong?

It wasn't until the Ravenclaws calmed down that Professor Dumbledore slowly began to speak.

"Miss Lin Yue's statement is not incorrect; Voldemort is indeed Tom Riddle, and some of our professors are aware of this matter."

Behind him, Professors McGonagall and Snape nodded reluctantly, with the corner of Professor Snape's mouth twitching slightly.

"As for the Chamber of Secrets and the possible monster within, I and the other professors will handle it. Now, everyone, please return and rest."

As soon as Professor Dumbledore's voice fell, Cho Chang and Marietta each supported Lin Yue from behind and helped her back up to the second floor.

Hermione looked at the obvious tear stains on Lin Yue's face, feeling a mix of pain and joy in her heart. She felt pain seeing Lin Yue cry, but joy that Lin Yue finally had emotions that allowed her to cry.

"Lin Yue, how are you?" Hermione stepped forward, cupping her face in her hands and gently stroking the tear marks on her cheeks.

Lin Yue blankly allowed Hermione to hold her face, shaking her head. "I'm fine, it's just that earlier, my heart felt so warm, and suddenly I felt so tired, and then the tears just came out."

After a two-second silence, Lin Yue continued, "Did I make a mistake... It's clearly not sleep time, but I'm so tired."

"No, no, no, how could you think that?" Hermione wrapped her arms around Lin Yue's neck, while Cho Chang and Marietta tacitly took a step back, giving them enough personal space.

Gently kissing Lin Yue's forehead, Hermione pressed her forehead against hers, her right hand soothing her back. "You feel tired because you have a sense of security in your heart, so you relax."

The members of Ravenclaw genuinely care for Lin Yue and wholeheartedly protect her, which finally gives her a sense of security.

With this sense of security, Lin Yue naturally dares to let herself relax.

Holding the soft person tightly in her arms, Hermione comfortingly patted her back.

"If you're tired, just rest. Don't push yourself anymore. Sleep, okay? Just sleep."

Being held by Hermione, the warmth in Lin Yue's heart grew stronger, her eyelids becoming heavier and the fatigue in her body increasing.

Finally, Lin Yue slowly closed her eyes, and Hermione smiled with relief, carefully squatting down to pick her up in a horizontal embrace.

So fragile... Hermione pursued her lips as she looked at Lin Yue in her arms; her weight was so light that Hermione didn't feel much effort in carrying her.

From now on, I need to supervise Lin Yue to make sure she eats well, Hermione silently resolved, carrying Lin Yue as she followed the Ravenclaws toward the Ravenclaw tower.

Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick watched this scene without saying anything, tacitly accepting the fact that a little lion was carrying a little eagle back to the nest.

"Miss Marietta," Principal Dumbledore quietly called out to Marietta, who was following behind Hermione.

Lin Yue had finally managed to rest a bit when he saw her, and he didn't want to wake the child.

"Once Miss Lin Yue has rested, could you bring her to my office? Of course, you, Miss Chang, Miss Granger, and Miss Penelope can come along too."

Worried that they might let Lin Yue go alone and not feel at ease, Principal Dumbledore specifically added, "The password is 'Cockroach Cluster.'"

"Okay," Marietta politely nodded, and after bidding farewell to him, she quickly followed them.
