Chapter 71: He saved my life twice

An invisible wave of magic power spread out, and the terrifying Fiendfyre was extinguished in an instant after it touched the wave of magic power. 

Lynn and Irina turned their heads suddenly, and saw Professor McGonagall, Professor Sprout, Professor Flitwick and Professor Snape, the four Heads of House, appear behind them, looking at Voldemort who had possessed Quirrell in the distance with vigilant eyes.

"Children, get behind us!" Professor Sprout's soft voice came, and she pulled Lynn and Irina behind her.

The other three professors took action. Professor Flitwick raised his hand and cast a silent Disarming Charm, while Professor McGonagall waved her wand and transfigured the dead branches and leaves at her feet into dozens of tigers and lions, rushing towards Quirrell. 

Even Professor Snape did not hesitate to use his magic, and shot a series of sharp curses towards Quirrell.

Seeing that the four Heads of House had arrived, Voldemort also realized that he had lost the best opportunity.

"Bombarda Maxima!"

Voldemort controlled Quirrell and almost exhausted the magic power in Quirrell's body. The explosion spell with a terrifying aura broke through the air and suddenly hit the ground not far ahead.

The soil exploded, and the dust in the sky was swept by the shockwave and rushed towards the crowd. The smoke produced by the explosion enveloped the entire clearing. 

The explosion spell blew the Transfigured animals into pieces, and even the spells of Professor Flitwick and Professor Snape were blocked by the gravel and soil in the air.

Facing the area surrounded by thick fog, the four professors did not dare to pursue rashly. After all, their students were still here, and they could not ignore the safety of their students. 

The four professors stood back to back, surrounded Lynn and Irina in the middle, and looked at everything around them vigilantly.

After an unknown amount of time, the smoke dissipated, and Quirrell had disappeared. 

Irina looked at the professors who were protecting her and was touched. They were really responsible and good professors. Even Professor Snape made people feel safe!

"I'm so sorry, Miss Lowell, I didn't know there would be a Dark wizard here... I..." 

Professor McGonagall turned around and looked at Irina with some guilt.

She thought that there were only some dangerous magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest causing trouble, so she planned to let Irina and Harry come to the Forbidden Forest and follow Hagrid to learn more, but she never expected that the culprit for the death of the unicorn was an unforgivable Dark wizard!

Irina shook her head and said, "It's okay, Professor, we're fine! Thanks to Senior Rowle's curse fire, otherwise..."

Irina seemed to realize something and kept silent immediately. 

The Fiendfyre Counter-Curse used by Lynn just now was obviously not an ordinary fire spell. After all, how could an ordinary fire spell be as powerful as the Fiendfyre itself? It seems that the cursed flame must be Lynn's trump card. The other party has used this trump card, but she...

Thinking of this, Irina subconsciously looked at Lynn with an apologetic look in her eyes.

Feeling Irina's gaze, Lynn shook his head and said it was okay.

Although the Fiendfyre Counter-Curse is one of his trump cards, it is an alchemical method that Lynn obtained from Nicolas Flamel. If Dumbledore wants to know, then he will definitely know Lynn's details through Nicolas Flamel, so Lynn has no need to hide it from the professors of Hogwarts. 

As long as the trump card of the Fiendfyre Counter-Curse is not discovered by Voldemort or the Death Eaters before the battle with Voldemort at the end of the school year, then Lynn's goal will be achieved.

After all, one of the purposes of the Fiendfyre Counter-Curse is to suppress Voldemort's remnant soul after leaving Quirrell's body, and the trump card used is not a trump card, but an open card.

As for the battle just now, the Fiendfyre Counter-Curse only demonstrated its ability to compete with the Fiendfyre, and its power to seal magic was not noticed by Voldemort for the time being.

It was not until then that Professor McGonagall noticed Lynn, and she said sternly, "Mr. Rowle, I think it should be past curfew now?"

Lynn whispered, "Sorry, Professor, I know I violated the school rules."

Seeing that Professor McGonagall seemed to want to punish Lynn, Irina quickly pleaded for Lynn.

Irina looked at Professor McGonagall with tears in her eyes, and her voice became cute, "Professor... Don't blame Senior Rowle. If he hadn't helped, I would have been burned to ashes by that terrifying cursed fire... He saved my life twice!"

"Very well, because Mr. Rowle violated the school rules, Slytherin will be docked fifty points, but because Mr. Rowle saved his classmates, Slytherin will be awarded fifty points! As for the detention punishment, it will be waived!"

Professor McGonagall shook her head and decided to offset the merits and demerits.

"Wait, Miss Lowell," Professor McGonagall suddenly raised her head, as if she had noticed something, "You just said that Mr. Rowle saved your life twice?"

Before Irina could speak, Lynn stood up, nodded slightly, and said, "I also killed the troll on Halloween last time."

Hearing this, not only Professor McGonagall, but the other three professors looked over in shock. 

Especially Professor Snape, who had checked all the senior students of Slytherin at that time, but couldn't find a qualified one. He never expected that this Slytherin student who could single-handedly kill the troll was just a second-year!

"You mean to say, you killed the troll?" Professor Snape's face was close to Lynn's, and his low tone brought endless pressure.

Lynn nodded calmly. 

Although it was unbelievable that a second-year could kill a troll, with Irina's testimony, the four professors had to believe this fact.

"Very well, come back to the castle with us, children." 

Professor McGonagall felt that her head was about to explode. Today, she first met the Dark Lord, and then learned such explosive news, which made her CPU a little overloaded.

"Where are Harry and the others?" Irina asked.

"Mr. Potter was taken back to the castle by Hagrid after his dog Fang found them. After we discovered the situation here, we asked Hagrid to take them back first," said Professor McGonagall.

Irina breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

After returning to Hogwarts Castle, Lynn followed his Head of House, Professor Snape, and Irina returned to the Gryffindor common room and saw Harry and the other two who looked anxious.

"Irina, are you alright? I heard from Harry that you met a terrible Dark wizard!" Hermione threw herself into Irina's arms, her eyes full of tears. 

You know, she almost lost her best friend!

Irina was still shaken, "I'm still alive, but I almost died..."
