Irina's movements attracted the attention of the surrounding little wizards. They all looked at her in horror, fearing that she would swing a knife at them.
Lynn and Fleur, who were discussing at the Slytherin table not far away, were naturally attracted by the commotion here. However, when Lynn turned around and saw Irina's beautiful ice-blue eyes glaring at him fiercely, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Lynn quickly raised his hands to show that he was innocent.
"What's wrong with her? But her appearance... Could it be that she is like me, also..."
Seeing Irina's unusual behavior, Fleur asked curiously, and after seeing Irina's appearance clearly, she couldn't help but ask out loud, but when she was about to say the four words "half-blood veela," she quickly restrained her voice.
After all, there are many people here, and she doesn't want the little wizards here to know her identity.
Hearing Fleur's words, Lynn smiled bitterly and said, "She is my best friend. She may be upset because she saw that we were too intimate... She is different from you. Her appearance comes from the power of magic, just like my dark red eyes and hair."
Hearing this, Fleur awkwardly moved aside a little and whispered, "Sorry, I didn't know she was your girlfriend..."
Lynn was stunned for a moment and said, "Don't get me wrong, Irina and I haven't... Anyway, don't talk nonsense..."
Although Lynn had many good feelings towards Irina, before the two sides really confirmed their relationship, if Fleur spread the news that Irina was his girlfriend, it would cause a lot of damage to Irina's reputation.
Moreover, this would make people believe that he and Irina were a couple. Regardless of whether Irina was interested in him or not, he hoped that the final decision would be made by her herself, rather than being forced by others.
Lynn didn't want this to happen to Irina.
However, when Fleur saw Lynn's words, they took on a different meaning.
In Fleur's eyes, Lynn, who is not affected by her charm, is her best mate. It would be fine if Irina was Lynn's girlfriend, but if Lynn doesn't have a partner, she doesn't mind fighting for herself and becoming his partner.
The social atmosphere in France is very open, and so is the French magical world. Given the pride of the Delacour family, Fleur naturally would not be willing to look for a man who has a partner.
But before Lynn and Irina really confirmed their relationship, she believed that their opportunities were equal and she had the right to fight for her own happiness.
Thinking of this, Fleur moved back a little towards Lynn. She ignored Irina's angry gaze and raised her head higher.
"Don't stop me, let me kill them!"
Seeing this scene, Irina screamed in anger. Fortunately, Hermione hugged her tightly from behind, making her unable to move.
Of course, this was also because Irina was not serious. She was just angry for the moment. Otherwise, under the power of the Ice God, Hermione would not have been able to hold her back.
"Fleur, how about we sit separately..."
Lynn wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and said to Fleur beside him.
Fleur said unconvincedly: "Why?! Am I not as pretty as her or what? Why do you let me sit separately? I am a guest now!"
Hearing this, Lynn fell silent.
If we compare the looks of both, according to Western aesthetics, Fleur is actually better.
Both Fleur and Irina had beautiful silver hair, Irina had ice blue eyes, and Fleur had a pair of deep blue eyes, which was harmless.
Perhaps the biggest difference between Fleur and Irina's appearance is their skin color. Irina's skin is very white, but it is the healthy whiteness with a hint of wheat color, while Fleur's skin is as white as moonlight, completely white, and also frighteningly white.
Fleur's skin color is what Westerners yearn for, but for Lynn, who was an Oriental in his previous life, Irina's skin color is more in line with his aesthetic taste.
Bah bah bah…
Lynn quickly shook off the distracting thoughts in his head. He had never been attracted to Irina out of sheer beauty, but rather his affection for her had gradually developed over the years of fighting side by side.
Seeing that Lynn didn't say anything, Fleur couldn't help feeling a little aggrieved.
Judging from Irina's age, unless Irina already knew Lynn before entering school, she must be after herself.
Damn it, she was here first!
Fleur thought sadly.
But seeing that Lynn stopped talking, Fleur didn't want to make him angry because of her arrogance, so she had to move to the side silently, cast her eyes towards the teachers' seats, waiting for the dinner to begin.
What happened here was just a small episode before the dinner. After seeing Lynn and Fleur finally sit separately, Irina also dispersed the ice blade in her hand and sat back in her seat.
However, Irina's resentful gaze on Lynn's back always made Lynn's back feel numb.
I'm sweating all over!
Lynn, who was innocently caught in the crossfire, thought uncomfortably that he never expected that the scene of Irina and Fleur's first meeting would be like this.
As time passed, the noisy dinner came to an end.
In the teacher's seat, Dumbledore stood up and said with a smile: "The moment has finally arrived. The Triwizard Tournament is about to begin. I would like to explain a few words before bringing the box in... I want to explain the program of our activities for this school year. However, first, please allow me to introduce two guests. This is Mr. Barty Crouch, Director of the Department of International Cooperation of the Ministry of Magic!"
As Dumbledore finished speaking, old Barty Crouch came to the middle of the hall, and sparse applause broke out in the hall.
After seeing old Barty coming, Lynn, who was sitting at the Slytherin table, nodded to him calmly.
Old Barty noticed Lynn sitting at the Slytherin table. He nodded slightly as a response to Lynn.
"This is Mr. Ludo Bagman, Head of the Department of Magical Sports and Sport at the Ministry!"
Dumbledore continued.
Perhaps because Ludo used to be a batsman and had a more famous reputation among the young wizards, the applause they gave him was obviously much warmer than that they gave to old Barty.
Ludo waved warmly to the young wizards to express his gratitude, while old Barty stood there expressionlessly without any expression.
Among the young wizards in this hall, apart from Lynn and Irina, there is probably no third person who can surprise old Barty, not even Harry, who is hailed as the savior.
