The employee smiled gently, turned back, and continued his struggle with the books.
Seeing that the employee had declined, Lynn nodded and stepped back to her original spot. It wasn't until five minutes later that the employee laboriously slammed the cage door shut with the arm clamping two books.
Even clamped under the employee's arm, *the monster book of monsters* was not hindered in its performance.
They were shaking violently, and the employee's arm even began to tremble.
He struggled to press the two books onto the table, and immediately another employee stepped forward to bind them.
As if sensing their fate, the two Monster Books simultaneously began to struggle violently.
The employee pressing them down widened his eyes in horror; his strength was nearly depleted from the previous struggle.
He couldn't hold them down anymore. "Get back!"
He shouted at Lynn and the other two, but unfortunately, he spoke too late. The two Monster Books had already broken free from his grasp and lunged out.
Shrieking and flapping their pages, their sharp teeth headed straight for Hermione and Harry.
Neither of the two children had time to react, both freezing in place simultaneously.
Fortunately, someone was moving just as fast as the Monster Books: Lynn, standing next to Hermione.
"Roar!"
A low roar sounded, and Hermione, Harry, and the employees behind the counter didn't even have time to see clearly.
The two Monster Books were already firmly pinned under the foot of a two-meter-tall Deinonychus.
Firmly pinning the two Monster Books, the longest claw on Lynn's foot quickly extended downward, but abruptly checked its force just as it reached the book covers, merely resting on them without actually destroying the books.
Even though they weren't truly damaged, the force pressing down on them and the claw resting on top made the two Monster Books understand their current predicament.
They immediately stopped struggling and fell completely silent.
Snorting a breath, Lynn slowly turned her head to look at the Monster Books still shrieking in the cage.
"ROAR!!!"
A fierce roar up close caused everyone in Flourish and Blotts to instinctively raise their hands and cover their ears.
The hundreds of Monster Books in the cage seemed to instantly lose their magic, falling down one by one, completely motionless.
"Merlin's beard... that's an Animagus..."
One of the employees behind the counter murmured as he looked at Lynn's Deinonychus form.
"It is, isn't it?" Another employee swallowed hard. As soon as he spoke, Lynn transformed back into her original form right in front of them, bent down, picked up the two Monster Books, and handed one to Hermione.
Looking at Lynn's childlike appearance and recalling that she had asked for third-year books.
The employee couldn't help but pull a long face. "She mastered Animagus before even reaching third year?"
"Merlin is so unfair. Geniuses are this amazing, and I only deserve the 'P' grades I got in Transfiguration every year?"
The employee standing behind him twitched his mouth severely. Good heavens, getting 'P' (Poor) every year—how terrible must his Transfiguration be?
"Professor McGonagall must value you greatly."
He stepped forward and patted the employee's shoulder. Valuing students who struggle and helping them study—how is that not valuing them?
Facing Lynn and the other two, the two employees offered sincere apologies together.
"We are so sorry. It was our mistake that nearly caused you to be bitten by the Monster Books."
After that, they continued thanking Lynn, "Thank you for intervening in time to stop all this. Otherwise, we would have been in trouble. You are truly amazing!"
Lynn shook her head expressionlessly. "You're welcome. I just did what needed to be done."
Hermione and Harry also recovered, smiling and saying it was fine.
After paying for all the books, Lynn and Hermione carried their books and followed Harry out of Flourish and Blotts.
"Your Animagus form just now was so cool!"
As soon as they stepped out of Flourish and Blotts, Hermione turned and told Lynn admiringly.
Lynn nodded calmly. "Thank you."
"That's incredible," Harry remarked to Lynn. "You've mastered Animagus, and there are fewer than ten registered ones in the whole UK."
Lynn blinked, her tone flat. "Based on probability assessment, there is a high chance of illegal Animagi, meaning unregistered Animagi."
"Therefore, there should be more than ten Animagi in the whole UK."
"Well, you're still amazing," Hermione said cheerfully, wrapping her free arm around Lynn's shoulder. "You should be proud of yourself."
