But My Girlfriend Was Hermione

Bell, who had just gotten a girlfriend for the first time, was excited but really didn't know what to do next.

Hermione, who was also dating for the first time, was not as good as Bell.

After a period of silence, Bell felt that such a significant day should not be spent in the Gryffindor common room.

After thinking for a moment, Bell came up with a good idea.

Hermione, come with me.

Bell suddenly stood up and pulled Hermione out of the lounge.

Hermione, who was immersed in the warmth of the moment, was caught off guard by Bell's actions.

As Bell led her along, she asked in confusion, "Where are we going?"

"You'll see when we get there."

The two walked out of Gryffindor's common room hand in hand, leaving behind a trail of noise and chaos.

("Find it! We must find that darn (cute) Ravenclaw (kitten)!")

Walking through the castle, the scenery, which she had seen for over a year, seemed so fresh and beautiful to Hermione now, as if she were seeing it for the first time.

"Bell, are we going to Ravenclaw's lounge?"

After entering the tower on the west side of the castle and looking at the stairs in front of her, Hermione felt that she already knew where she was going.

"It can be said that way, but it also can't be."

So, is it yes or no?

Hermione felt a little itchy in her teeth.

She found that Bell was still the same Bell, whether in his speech or his actions, he was still just as infuriating.

Thinking back, she never thought Bell super handsome?

That must be because she hasn't been sleeping well these past few days, which has made her a little dazed!

Soon, Bell led Hermione into the Ravenclaw common room, and then headed straight for his bedroom.

"Bell? That's the boys' dormitory area!"

Hermione gasped and tried to stop.

Although Hermione had overheard her roommates talking and heard that they had entered the boys' dormitory area, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it at the time.

But right now, I'm with Bell.

Hermione felt she needed to act a little more reserved.

"Of course I know that's the boys' dormitory area. Don't worry, girls won't be hindered from entering the boys' dormitory area."

Bell said casually, pulling Hermione forward without stopping.

"But..."

"No buts, don't worry, our destination isn't the boys' dormitory."

Hermione, still full of doubt, followed Bell into his bedroom. Along the way, everyone acted as if they couldn't see the two of them, and even took the initiative to avoid them and make way for them.

Hermione knew that this must be the effect of another Curses cast by Bell.

I wonder when she'll be able to catch up with Bell even a little bit?

Under Hermione's watchful eye, Bell took a briefcase from the wardrobe.

Bell placed the suitcase on the bed, activated the protective Curses on it, and then jumped into the open suitcase.

Hermione watched in astonishment as Bell disappeared into the box.

Although she already knew that Bell's suitcase was enchanted and that its interior space was far greater than its exterior appeared.

But she never imagined that living people could actually enter.

Just as Hermione was in a daze, a hand suddenly reached out from the box and beckoned to her.

"Come down here, Hermione. I'll show you something good."

Bell's voice broke Hermione's reverie. She stepped forward and peered into the suitcase. Before her was a ladder, leading to what appeared to be a room?

As she climbed down the ladder, Bell was waiting for her below.

The two were currently in a small, enclosed room, with many beautiful patterns on the walls.

"Be careful not to touch the walls carelessly. The patterns on them are concealed Ancient Runes. Touching them will trigger the magical traps on them."

Bell casually uttered dangerous remarks.

Hermione, who was about to take a closer look at the beautiful patterns on the wall, was so startled by what she heard that she quickly took two steps back.

She almost touched it with her hand just now.

"Wait a mininute."

After saying that, Bell stood in the center of the room. He drew his Wand and pointed it at the Ancient Runes on the wall, chanting incantations continuously.

As Bell's Wand slowly moves, the Ancient Runes in the direction his wand tip points light up and detach from the wall.

After Bell's Wand spun around once, all the Ancient Runes on the wall fell off and gathered above Bell's head, forming a sphere.

"Hermione, come here. channel your magic into this area. Not too much, just a little."

Bell controlled the sphere made of Ancient Runes, which floated in his palm, and pointed to the top of the sphere, speaking to Hermione.

Hermione saw a circular symbol at the top of the sphere. Looking through the circle, she could see that the inside of the sphere was filled with blue light.

She did as instructed, pointing her Wand at the top of the sphere and infusing it with her magic.

After a flash of light, the sphere returned to calm.

Then, Bell raised the sphere above his head once more. Tiny Ancient Runes were peeled off the sphere one by one, flying around Bell back to the wall.

In the end, everything returned to how it was when the two first entered, as if nothing had ever happened.

"Alright, now you can open the door here too."

Bell pointed to a door not far away and said.

"Bell, what was that spell you just chanted? Why couldn't I understand a word of it?"

Hermione asked, puzzled.

"Those are Ancient Runes, the Ancient Runes inscribed on the walls. Hogwarts students don't encounter Ancient Runes in their third year as Elective Course, and you'll learn about them then."

"Can you teach me, Bell?"

Impatient Hermione clearly didn't want to wait a year before starting to learn Ancient Runes. She felt she had to speed things up. Otherwise, who knew when she'd even see Bell's back?

"Of course you can. But Hermione, you're not ready to study right now. You need more time to solidify your foundation."

Although Hermione was extremely diligent and eager to learn, even surpassing Bell in her abilities, her time spent practicing magic was still too short.

It took Bell nearly three years of study before he began to learn the basics of Ancient Runes.

"All right..."

Hermione was a little disappointed. But she trusted Bell; if Bell thought her foundation wasn't solid enough, then he must have his reasons.

"Alright, this isn't a good place to chat. Come in, let me show you my ' Scamander's Suitcase.' It's quite spacious inside, don't be scared!"

With that, Bell pushed open the door and went out first.
