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

Chapter 136 135: A Fierce Fight, Resolute Protection

Whipping out her wand with agile movements, Lynn lightly tapped the tip against herself.

A cool sensation washed over her body, and a silent Disillusionment Charm immediately concealed her.

After a full year of progress, Lynn's Disillusionment Charm no longer had the drawbacks it did last year.

Even when moving, there was no longer a faint outline at the edges of her body that others could see.

Thus, after casting the Disillusionment Charm, Lynn held her wand before her chest, her gaze indifferent as she watched the corridor outside, listening to the footsteps drawing closer.

Outside the corridor, the figure of the mysterious person who had been following Lynn finally appeared.

Lynn's brain responded quickly, identifying her immediately: the youngest daughter of the Weasley family, Ginny Weasley.

She had met Ginny once before when going to Diagon Alley; at that time, Ginny had looked at her with eyes full of admiration.

Although Lynn didn't understand what she was being admired for, she remembered Ginny's state and expression from that time perfectly.

Instinctively comparing the Ginny in her memory with the Ginny before her eyes, Lynn instantly spotted a problem.

The Ginny in her memory was on the left, and the current Ginny was on the right; the walking postures of the two were completely different.

The expressions on their faces were also worlds apart; the original Ginny had a somewhat sunny and gentle face.

The current Ginny's face was filled with gloom and arrogance—an expression that looked somewhat familiar.

Her brain provided a conclusion, and Lynn automatically began searching through the images in her memory.

Matching the expression with the micro-expressions, Ginny's face at this moment—aside from her physical features—bore a high degree of resemblance to Lord Voldemort's on Quirrell's face at the end of last year.

Synthesizing the various conditions, Lynn deduced a result: this Ginny might be 'impersonated' by Lord Voldemort.

A Transfiguration Spell? An Animagus? Or Polyjuice Potion?

The three most likely results appeared in Lynn's mind.

The image of Lord Voldemort finally turning into black mist and escaping last year suddenly surfaced.

There was a high probability that Lord Voldemort had no physical form, which was why he had possessed Quirrell and was ultimately able to turn into black mist to escape.

Lynn made a judgment; however, if he had no physical form, then the three aforementioned scenarios would have to be ruled out.

With those three scenarios ruled out, only one remained: Lord Voldemort had possessed Ginny, just as he had possessed Quirrell last year.

That was why expressions and micro-expressions that should have belonged to Lord Voldemort appeared on Ginny's face.

However, with a heavy expression, Lynn moved her gaze to the back of Ginny's head.

The girl's red hair looked bright and beautiful; there was clearly no pale face of Lord Voldemort there.

Withdrawing her gaze, Lynn quickly summarized the current situation: Ginny did not exhibit the same state as Quirrell.

Therefore, the method Lord Voldemort used to possess Ginny should be different from the one used for Quirrell. As for what that different method was... Lynn tried to search her memory for methods of possession, but she couldn't find a single piece of relevant information.

Neither the Hogwarts Library nor the Ravenclaw small Library she had read through contained any books related to this.
