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

Chapter 183 182 The sudden contact with the soft body made Maranhao stiffen

The sudden contact with the soft body made Maranhao stiffen, forcing down the heat that was about to spread to her face.

Maranhao turned her head to look at Marietta, trying to keep her voice steady.

"What... what are you doing?"

Marietta raised an eyebrow. "What? Can't I give my best friend a hug?"

Maranhao gave a gentle smile, her right hand, which wasn't being held by Marietta, twitching slightly.

"Sure, you can hold on."

"Hmph, that's more like it."

Marietta nodded with satisfaction and, holding Maranhao's arm, walked toward the Ravenclaw Table.

Maranhao smiled warmly and let her hold on. Fine, you're holding on so firmly and happily now.

I hope in the future... you can still hold onto me just as firmly.

Walking up to Mr. and Mrs. Granger, Lynn lowered her head and spoke politely.

"Good morning, Mrs. Granger, Mr. Granger. Thank you for the gift. I like it very much."

The Grangers turned around. Mrs. Granger smiled and took her hand, letting her sit beside her.

Lynn glanced at the students nearby. After all, this was the Gryffindor Table. If she sat down without permission... would it be impolite?

How could the Little Lions nearby not know this "celebrity" of the school? Not to mention, she was clearly someone Granger cherished.

For these two reasons alone, no one would stop her from sitting down.

Not only did they not stop her, but a string of Little Lions squeezed together, managing to clear a fairly large space for Lynn.

"Thank you, everyone."

After thanking them formally, Lynn sat down next to the Grangers.

"Good morning, Lynn," Mrs. Granger said, holding Lynn's hand affectionately. "The gift you sent us is also very exquisite. Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Lynn shook her head with an indifferent tone. The gifts she had prepared for the Grangers were also different from the others.

Because she clearly remembered that the Grangers were dentists, so obviously, sending them Honeydukes candies wasn't appropriate.

And another very important point... they were Hermione's parents. A voice deep in her mind told her she should send something different.

So she gave Mrs. Granger a silk scarf and Mr. Granger a suit.

They weren't very expensive, but they were elegant and practical.

Mr. Granger reached across his wife and handed a small box to Lynn.

"The gift we sent this morning was on Hermione's behalf. This is a gift from us. Open it and see."

Lynn blinked and took the gift box. "Thank you, Mrs. Granger, Mr. Granger."

As she spoke, she opened the gift box, and inside was another photo album.

Taking out the album, Lynn opened it. The first page was actually a photo taken during her first dinner at the Granger Residence.

In the picture, she and Hermione were both looking down at their dinner. Hermione was leaning her head over from the side, looking as if she were telling her to eat slower.

But... when was this taken? Lynn had no memory of this moment.

She was usually quite focused when eating, so it was normal that she hadn't noticed.

Flipping through page by page, the photos all recorded the moments she spent with Hermione at the Granger Residence.

As she looked through the album, Lynn's originally expressionless face softened, and she actually smiled again.

This time, it wasn't just Maranhao and Marietta who saw it.

The Ravenclaw Little Eagles, who had been watching her since she entered the Great Hall, all saw it.

Screech... Clatter... A sound of chairs moving rang out. The Little Eagles at the Ravenclaw Table all stood up excitedly, their eyes fixed on Lynn, who was smiling at the album in her hands.

Not going home for Christmas, and yet they got to see such a wonderful thing!

The Little Eagles clenched their fists excitedly, cheering silently where they stood. This was the first time, the very first time, Lynn had shown an expression other than indifference in front of them.

And it was a smile! They were going to write to others later; they would surely be envious that they got to see this smile.

The Professors at the Staff Table were also startled by the sight of the entire Ravenclaw house standing up.

Following their gaze to the Gryffindor Table, they saw Lynn smiling at the photo album. Professor Flitwick's knife and fork slipped from his hands, and Professor McGonagall clutched her collar, unable to contain her excitement.

"Merlin bless us, finally... Oh Merlin, the child's smile is so beautiful."

"Undoubtedly, a smile full of youth. How wonderful."
