Harry Potter: The Genius Who Never Rested Fell for Hermione Granger

Chapter 186 185 So, without a doubt, the top spot belonged to Lynn.

So, without a doubt, the top spot belonged to Lynn.

As it turned out, Lynn did not betray their "trust," securing first place in the Second Year with full marks in every subject.

Of course, the Professors only announced this one ranking; they only revealed who was first and didn't publish the rest.

This was a tradition at Hogwarts.

On the day before the students were to head home for Summer Break, the Mandrakes were fully mature.

This meant that Hermione would soon be able to recover from her petrified state.

Upon hearing the news, Lynn waited in the Hospital Wing, reading a book while waiting for Professor Snape to deliver the Potion.

Harry, Ron, and their mutual friends "sensibly" waited at the entrance of the Hospital Wing to ensure that the first person Hermione saw upon waking was Lynn.

"When Hermione wakes up... will she give Lynn a hard time? After all, that was... the Cruciatus Curse."

Marietta lightly elbowed Maranhao beside her; Maranhao gave her a helpless yet indulgent look.

"Would you have the heart to give Lynn a hard time?"

"No," Marietta shook her head without hesitation; she was her dear junior, after all.

In fact, as long as Lynn wasn't hurting herself, Marietta would say she did well no matter what she did.

Even if she were to storm the Ministry of Magic right now, overthrow Fudge, and become the Minister for Magic herself, Marietta would cheer her on.

To prove that she was more suited for the position of Minister for Magic than Fudge.

"There you go then," Maranhao shrugged. "If even you can't bear to, do you think Hermione would?"

"She'll probably just say a few words to scare her—all bark and no bite."

"True."

Marietta nodded and continued to peer through the crack in the door into the Hospital Wing with Maranhao and Penelope.

As for Harry and Ron, they conscientiously decided that as boys, they shouldn't be peeping at Hermione and Lynn like that.

Hermione was still petrified, so Lynn simply sat by her side reading her book carefully, without making any other moves.

Or rather... she hadn't even known herself that she would come to the Hospital Wing today.

She was supposed to go to the Library to study as usual, but upon hearing that the Mandrakes were mature and Hermione would recover today...

...her feet had automatically carried her toward the Hospital Wing, and she hadn't even eaten breakfast.

It wasn't until eleven in the morning that Professor Snape strode into the Hospital Wing with a bottle of Potion.

"I assume you realize that I cannot deliver the Potion if you are blocking the doorway."

The low, slow voice sounded; Maranhao and the others stiffened and immediately turned around to move out of the way.

"Sorry, Professor. Please come in."

Penelope gave a forced smile and opened the Hospital Wing door for Professor Snape.

Professor Snape glanced at her, Maranhao, and Marietta, but ultimately said nothing.

However, when he finally saw Harry and Ron, he let out a cold snort.

Harry and Ron had no reaction; it was Professor Snape and they were Gryffindors—they understood and were used to it.

Striding into the Hospital Wing, Lynn—who usually became immersed in study whenever she read—quickly turned her head to look at Professor Snape.

Professor Snape stopped and held out the Potion. "I assume you know how to use it, Miss Lynn?"

"I do, Professor. Thank you, Professor. Thank you for your hard work."

Lynn stood up, took the Potion with both hands, and bowed her head to thank Professor Snape.

"Instead of wasting time thanking me, you'd better hurry up and give the Potion to Miss Granger."

Professor Snape couldn't help but remark before turning to leave.

But before he completely exited the Hospital Wing, he added, "If there are any problems, find me in my office."

Lynn looked up at his retreating back, her voice devoid of emotion. "Alright. Thank you, Professor Snape."

Turning back, Lynn looked at the petrified Hermione, uncapped the Potion, and slowly poured it into Hermione's petrified mouth.

Fortunately, Hermione's mouth had been open when she was petrified; otherwise, she would have had to use magic to slowly force the Potion in, which would have taken a long time.

The thought flashed through Lynn's mind; if it took a long time, it meant Hermione's time in a petrified state would be extended.

That was not good; her brain made that judgment.

The Potion entered her mouth and slowly merged into Hermione's body without needing to be swallowed.

Lynn watched with her own eyes as the petrified parts of her body slowly diminished.
