Fina the Clean Freak

Hermione was so surprised when she saw Fina's little mouth opening and closing, but the voice coming out was Bell's. Hermione's voice cracked.

If it weren't daytime, Hermione was absolutely certain she wasn't dreaming, she would have thought she'd encountered a ghost!

Because Little Fina had only ever interacted with Bell and Shanna, she naively thought that all humans could understand what she was saying.

Fina, who thought she had already greeted Hermione, and who was getting impatient with Hermione's incessant talking without responding directly and, most importantly, not giving her any treats, activated the magical Fina that Bell had placed on her.

Upon receiving the activation prompt of the magical imprint, Bell took the opportunity to activate the Curses he had previously placed on Fina. While keeping it out of the sight of outsiders, he attempted to communicate directly with Hermione.

After all, Bell wasn't like Fina, who knew nothing. He knew Hermione couldn't possibly understand what Fina was saying.

Hermione, are you alright?

Bell asked worriedly.

"Huh!? Okay! I, I'm fine!"

Hermione replied hastily.

"Bell!? It's Bell!? Why is your voice coming from Fina's mouth!?"

"Of course it's me. Don't be surprised, it's just a little magic trick."

"I don't believe you! Seriously, is there some kind of magic you're so proud of?!"

Upon hearing Bell's answer, Hermione instinctively cursed inwardly.

"Hermione, can you come out for a moment?"

Although Hermione sounded like she was alright?

However, even a fool would know that if there was really nothing wrong, Hermione wouldn't have been avoiding him for the past week.

So Bell decided to call Hermione out to see for himself what had happened to her.

As for whether Hermione will come out?

Hehe!

Bell never considered this question.

If Hermione doesn't come out, does he really think he won't go in?

As the saying goes, things have priorities and urgency, and concerns should be considered on a case-by-case basis.

"Go out? Where to?"

Hermione asked somewhat nervously.

Bell actually asked her to go out? What did he want with her? What was he planning to do?

If Bell knew what Hermione was thinking right now, he would definitely cry out in grievance.

He was clearly worried about Hermione's safety, so how did she perceive it as him having ulterior motives?

Does he really look like a bad person?

Penelope was like that before, and now Hermione is like that too. Where is the most basic trust between people?

"It's the common lounge outside your dorm room. I'm here right now. It's really inconvenient for me to go into the girls' dorm area, so I had to ask Fina to come in and pass on this message for me."

"You're in Gryffindor's common room!? Now!? How did you get in!?"

Hearing Bell's answer, Hermione became even more flustered.

Bell is in the Gryffindor common room?! That means Bell is only a dozen meters away from her?! She can see him the moment she steps out of her dorm room?!

What should she do? Should she go out to see Bell? If she does, how will she explain what's happened these past few days? If she doesn't go out, will Bell be angry? But if she does go out...

"I just walked in like that. The Gryffindor Common Room isn't some kind of den of monsters; it's perfectly normal for me to come in and wander around occasionally, isn't it?"

("Haven't you found that damn Ravenclaw yet?! Keep searching! Dig three feet into the ground and find him! No one can fool Gryffindor without paying a price!")

Regarding the "Hedor Lion's Roar" emanating from the boys' dormitory area, Bell stated that he was extremely unfamiliar with the Curses he was currently using, so he had to concentrate fully to ensure the connection wouldn't be interrupted. Therefore, his physical body was currently unable to hear any sound.

"And none of that matters. Hermione, hurry up and come out, or Fina will get impatient and it might bite. I can't control it if I'm not with it right now."

Fina rolled her eyes unhappily at her master's slander.

You should know that it is extremely clean!

It would never mention that when it was a child, it got covered in mud while playing in the garden and ran back to its room without taking a bath, soiling its owner Shanna's favorite little dress. As a result, its owner Shanna left it in the garden to be exposed to the cold wind all night.

It was December! Fina, who was still a baby at the time, almost froze to death!

Therefore, it won't bite people randomly.

How unhygienic!

If it encounters something it doesn't like, a single swipe of its paw is usually enough to take care of it. And even if it encounters something it can't handle, it still has its owner, right?

Fina refused to believe there was anything that "Release Master" couldn't solve. If there was, then adding it wouldn't make any difference.

So overall, it doesn't require the use of the mouth at all.

"Why!?"

Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Hermione glanced at Fina with a horrified look, then instinctively moved back a little, distancing herself from Fina.

She had once seen Fina eating a bone. At the time, she even wanted to blame Bell.

Fina is a cat, not a dog, so how can you feed her bones!

What happened next completely overturned Hermione's understanding.

That thigh bone, almost as thick as her wrist, was chewed into powder by Fina in just a few bites, and she even licked her lips with lingering satisfaction after finishing it...

If Fina were to actually bite her, at best she'd be left with a level two disability, right?

"Stop it, stop it. Fina and I are very close, it wouldn't bite me. Right, Little Fina?"

Hermione forced a smile.

She'd known Little Fina for several months now. Surely Fina wouldn't bite her, right? Probably not?

"Aww~!"

Fina did not disappoint Hermione; she made it clear that she would not bite her.

It raised one of its little paws, and with a "whoosh," the sharp claw hidden in its pawball popped out and lightly scratched the table.

A clearly visible scratch mark was deeply imprinted on the table.

Foolish humans!

Hermione couldn't understand what Fina was saying. But even though she couldn't understand the words, she could understand what she was reading!

Hermione almost burst into tears as Hermione watched Fina staring intently at her while licking her little paws.

You heartless bastard! You even fed it, held it, and brushed its fur!

"No! Bell! Tell Fina to stop!"

Left with no other option, Hermione had to grasp at the only straw and ask Bell for help.

"I can't help it. I can't exactly barge into the girls' dormitory area, can I? So you'd better come out quickly."

Bell continued to intimidate.

Just kidding, how could Fina attack someone without his permission? Do you still want some dried fish?

"Give me... one hour. I'll be out in one hour."

Hermione, who had intended to give her 10 minutes to change, caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror and promptly extended the time to an hour.

"One hour? That's way too long!"

"Just one hour!"

"Hey? Where's that cute little kitten?"

A Little Witch looked around curiously.

"I don't know! That's strange, I clearly saw it go into this dorm room just now, but there's nothing inside."

Another Little Witch, who was also looking around, answered.

"Let's look for it."

Someone suggested.

Following the boys' dormitory area, a massive sweep has also begun in the girls' dormitory area.
