Chapter 71 - Chapter 70 Just standing so rigidly, wouldn't she get tired?

"No problem." Harry Potter and Ron Weasley answered simultaneously.

Even after Hermione Granger had finished listing everyone's "schedule," Lynn remained motionless by the window, staring intently outside.

Because Hermione Granger had said in advance that after arriving at the villa, they could only think about studying after the Owls delivered their book lists and they had bought their books.

So, Lynn's mind wasn't on studying right now; instead, she was simulating all possible intrusion routes for the Enforcement Agents over and over again, constantly thinking about how to effectively counterattack and block them.

"Lynn, go sit down for a bit. You've been standing for over half an hour."

Hermione Granger walked over and patted Lynn's shoulder worriedly. She had been standing for over half an hour without moving at all.

Just standing so rigidly, wouldn't she get tired?

Lynn turned her head, her face devoid of expression, "Okay."

After speaking, she stiffly turned around and walked to the sofa without stumbling, though her gaze remained fixed on the window.

Maranhao, who was sitting on the sofa studying the TV remote, moved to sit beside her.

"Do you want to go out and play?"

Lynn shook her head indifferently, "I'm on alert for intruders."

Maranhao paused, looking out at the courtyard. She had specifically checked when she arrived on her flying broomstick.

The villa was surrounded by a forest, with only one not-very-wide road leading to it; the rest were small paths.

Who would go to such great lengths to launch an attack or something similar here? Wouldn't that be a thankless task?

However, despite her confusion, it was still good that her junior had a sense of vigilance.

Just like Senior Penelope, Maranhao reached out and ruffled Lynn's hair. "It's good to be vigilant, but you might not need to be so tense."

Hermione Granger sat next to Lynn and nodded in agreement, "Exactly, this villa has an alarm system. As long as it's not a Wizard, if someone sneaks in, the alarm will definitely go off."

"But I don't think any Wizard would secretly infiltrate such a remote villa, would they?"

Hermione Granger shrugged as she spoke, gently putting an arm around Lynn. "Want to watch cartoons? How about tom and jerry? Or Thomas?"

Lynn finally retracted her gaze from the window after hearing Hermione Granger's words, and shook her head with a plain expression, "Anything is fine."

This time should have been for studying, but Hermione Granger said she should rest during this period. Cartoons, which had no educational value, should have been strictly forbidden, but Hermione Granger told her to watch them.

Lynn's brain thought numbly, watching Hermione Granger turn on the TV and tune to the tom and jerry channel.

This humorous cartoon was truly suitable for all ages; even adults could watch it with great relish, let alone the children present.

Even Senior Penelope, the oldest, was deeply drawn to the cartoon's comedic content, and the six children watched it together, breaking into bright smiles.

Laughter filled the living room. Lynn sat calmly between Hermione Granger and Maranhao, listening to their laughter from beside her.

Looking at Marietta Edgecombe, Senior Penelope, Harry Potter, and Ron Weasley, who were laughing heartily, she felt a warmth in her chest and a throbbing pain in her head.

However, amidst this throbbing pain, her brain felt a never-before-experienced sense of ease and comfort. Unfortunately, before she could savor it, a violent pain erupted in her mind, shattering Lynn's faint and hazy feeling.

After watching tom and jerry for nearly an hour, the corners of the mouths of the six children, except Lynn, had not dropped.

After watching, Marietta Edgecombe reached out to rub her face, which was stiff from laughing, and said, "Muggles' ideas are truly admirable. This television is so amazing, and the shows on it are very interesting."

Senior Penelope beside her was also rubbing her stomach, a smile still on her lips. "Indeed, it's laughable that many in the Wizarding World still consider them foolish."

"Those people are truly narrow-minded." Maranhao shook her head, only thinking of magic, but not realizing that Muggles had forged a path different from magic, yet in no way inferior to it.

"I'm thinking of taking Muggle Studies Class later." Ron Weasley looked at Harry Potter. After truly encountering these Muggle products, he developed a strong interest in them.

Senior Penelope, who had already completed her third year and taken Muggle Studies Class for one semester, opened her mouth, her expression complex.

"I think... it might be better if you let Harry Potter teach you."

Everyone present uniformly looked at her. Senior Penelope spread her hands, "I don't mean to say the Professor is bad, but Hogwarts' Muggle Studies Class is too outdated. They probably haven't updated their textbooks in nearly a century. In their textbooks, Muggles are still wearing armor and hacking at each other."

"Merlin's armor hacking!" Hermione Granger was utterly incredulous, and Harry Potter's eyes widened beside her.

"Hacking at each other in armor," Lynn heard the keywords and quickly made a judgment in her mind, "The Wizarding World's understanding of Muggles is still stuck in the Middle Ages."

"Then Ron Weasley, taking this class really isn't as good as asking me or Hermione Granger." Harry Potter looked at Ron Weasley sincerely. The Wizarding World's understanding of Muggles being stuck in the Middle Ages was quite something.

"Alright." Ron Weasley nodded, abandoning his plan to take Muggle Studies Class.

Not just him, almost everyone present gave up the idea of taking this elective course.

Only Lynn's thoughts remained firm in her mind: Hogwarts, as a school, must have a reason and significance for arranging Muggle Studies Class this way.

There are no meaningless or useless classes in school. If such a thought arises, it only proves that one's learning is inadequate, or simply that one has not studied seriously.

Therefore, she should still take this class later, or rather, she should take all classes seriously, not underestimate any class, and not give up on any class. This is the most basic requirement for a student.

Lynn's brain thought with such certainty. After watching cartoons for nearly an hour, it was almost lunchtime.

Standing up, Lynn instinctively walked towards the kitchen. Hermione Granger also quickly stood up and followed her. The others looked at each other but did not get up.

According to the "schedule," Lynn and Hermione Granger were responsible for cooking and cleaning today. Besides, they were guests, and it was their first day, so it wouldn't be good to rush to do chores.

However, after this... Maranhao, Marietta Edgecombe, and Senior Penelope, the three more meticulous girls, exchanged glances.

Hermione Granger was an exception, but they would definitely compete to do Lynn's chores. That child needed to relax, and the more relaxation, the better.
