Chapter 324 - Barty Jr is leaving school

Hearing Professor McGonagall's words, Lynn was stunned at first, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, Professor, I will find my own partner."

Professor McGonagall nodded with satisfaction and signaled that Lynn could leave. She naturally believed that Lynn could find a dance partner. The reason why she wanted to talk to Lynn alone after class about this matter was just to go through the process.

After all, they had seen how inseparable Lynn and Irina were on a daily basis, so they naturally had nothing to worry about Lynn.

Professor McGonagall did not leave the classroom, because her next class was Transfiguration for fourth-year Gryffindor and Slytherin students, and she also needed to talk to Harry, who was also a warrior, about this matter after the next class.

Thinking of this, Professor McGonagall couldn't help but rub her brows. In her opinion, it would be much more difficult to get Harry to find a dance partner than Lynn.

Hermione is such a nice girl, but Harry treats her like a brother, which shows how emotionally dull Harry is.

...

The day after Professor McGonagall announced that the Christmas ball would be held, almost all the little wizards in the fourth grade and above signed the application to stay in school for Christmas. They were very much looking forward to the upcoming Christmas ball, especially the little witches.

They dress themselves up beautifully every day, as if every day is Christmas. They laugh and play in the corridors of Hogwarts Castle. If a boy walks past them, they will burst into discussion.

Although Christmas is still a few weeks away, the entire Hogwarts Castle is already filled with a festive atmosphere. People are looking forward to and anticipating the upcoming Christmas ball.

If you look carefully, you can even see some boys or girls practicing dancing awkwardly in many abandoned classrooms in the castle.

They are all preparing for the upcoming Christmas ball.

During this time, the professors and students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry have shown a desire to impress the guests from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang Schools of Wizardry, and they seem determined to put Hogwarts Castle in its best possible form this Christmas.

The castle was decorated with lights and the entire castle was filled with beautiful decorations that had never been seen before.

The banisters of the marble staircase were hung with everlasting icicles, and the twelve Christmas trees that usually stood in the hall were decorated with all kinds of baubles, including sparkling holly berries and live golden owls that kept hooting.

The armors in the castle were all cast under a spell. Whenever someone passed by, they would sing Christmas carols. However, the way these cold armors sang Christmas carols looked very funny because they only knew half of the lyrics.

Filch, the castle manager, had to pull Peeves out of his armor several times because Peeves always liked to hide inside the armor. When the armor couldn't sing, he would make up some lyrics to fill in, but they were all very rude and ugly.

One morning a week before Christmas, Dumbledore suddenly asked the Phoenix Fawkes to send a message to Lynn and Irina, hoping that they could come to the principal's office.

So, the two people who were sleeping soundly in bed were forced to get out of bed. After putting on their clothes, they came to the principal's office one after another.

"Lynn, do you know what Professor Dumbledore wants to see us about?"

Looking at Lynn who was walking towards her, Irina asked with some confusion.

Lynn also shook his head in confusion and said, "I don't know. Let's just go in and ask."

After saying that, Lynn walked towards the stone statue outside the principal's office. However, before Lynn could take out the long list, the stone statue took the initiative to move aside, revealing the way to the principal's office.

Seeing this scene, Lynn and Irina were both stunned. It turned out that as long as Dumbledore knew about it in advance, they could enter even without saying the password.

Without giving it much thought, the two of them walked up the spiral staircase and arrived at the principal's office.

Irina took a step forward and knocked gently on the door, which opened automatically.

"Come on in, Lynn and Irina."

Dumbledore greeted Lynn and Irina with a smile, and as he waved his wand, two cups of steaming hot tea appeared in front of them.

Lynn and Irina sat down opposite Dumbledore. Lynn asked straight to the point, "Professor Dumbledore, why did you come to us so early in the morning? Is there something you want to talk to us about?"

Dumbledore nodded and said, "Yes, since we have worked together to make a plan, I am obliged to inform you of any unexpected changes in the plan."

After hearing what Dumbledore said, the expressions of Lynn and Irina changed, and a serious look appeared in their eyes.

Irina said, "Professor Dumbledore, please go ahead."

Dumbledore did not mean to keep them in suspense. He said in a deep voice, "Just now, Barty Jr. came to me and said that he wanted to go home for Christmas. It is perfectly normal to want to go home for Christmas, but the one who made this request was Barty Jr...."

At this point, Dumbledore seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Irina said what Dumbledore wanted to say: "So, what you mean is that Barty Jr. wants to leave Hogwarts Castle, maybe it was Voldemort's instruction?"

Lynn followed up on Irina's words and asked, "Are you worried that Voldemort intends to abandon this plan and let Barty Jr. use the excuse of going home for Christmas as an opportunity to escape, causing our plan to fail?"

Lynn and Irina both frowned at this time. You know, in the original book, there was no such thing as Professor Moody going home on Christmas, but this thing actually happened right in front of them.

Is it because of the butterfly effect they brought about? Then what is Barty Jr.'s purpose?

Lynn and Irina were both thinking hard. If Barty Jr. wanted to use this opportunity to get away and give up the plan, they would never believe it. After all, Barty Jr. was even willing to sacrifice himself for Voldemort's cause. He would not give up the plan because of fear.

What's more, Lynn and Irina never revealed to Barty Jr. that they knew each other's identities, so the other party had no reason to give up the plan.

"Professor Dumbledore, since you are worried that Barty Jr. has some special purpose, why don't you just not allow him to leave the school?"

Irina said so.

Hearing this, before Dumbledore could speak, Lynn shook his head and said, "No, don't forget that Barty Jr. is still Professor Moody at the moment. Professor Dumbledore has no reason to stop Professor Moody from going home for Christmas."

"If Professor Dumbledore really did this, then not only would we not be able to stop Barty Jr. from leaving school, but we would also likely make him realize that his identity had been exposed! This would make things even worse!"

Lynn said solemnly.
