A New Life... Seemed Like Nothing Had Changed?
The cozy day quickly came to an end.
That evening, Bell escorted Hermione back to the Gryffindor Common Room. After a tearful farewell, Hermione returned to her dormitory, turning back several times as she went.
The next morning, Bell arrived at the Gryffindor common room carrying his "Scamander's Suitcase".
He made an appointment with Hermione yesterday, and he would come to see Hermione every morning to help her with her basic training.
Because in the previous week, Hermione not only missed several classes for the first time ever, but also had no interest in listening to lectures or studying.
So, once she calmed down, Hermione couldn't be bothered with being affectionate with Bell anymore. She had to catch up on her missed lessons as quickly as possible!
This feeling intensified after witnessing Bell's performance in actual combat training.
Honestly, if Bell wasn't her boyfriend, Hermione would have called the police.
"There's a monster here! Officers, come and catch him!"
Bell, of course, had no idea how his girlfriend was mentally gossiping about him.
For Bell, although he now has a girlfriend, his life hasn't fundamentally changed.
His girlfriend was a top student, completely focused on her studies and training, and had no time to pay attention to him.
Bell doesn't actually mind being ignored at all.
On the contrary, Bell felt very gratified to see Hermione diligently practicing her magical control.
The path of exploring magic is extremely tedious and arduous. Naturally, Bell hopes that more people can join him on this path of Magic Path, constantly moving forward, exchanging ideas, and seeking answers.
Although Bell was already incredibly content with Shanna's company, he was still a human being—always wanting more, and the chasm of desire can never be filled. And Bell was, after all, just an ordinary human being.
Bell has always been mindful of controlling his desires. In particular, some things he realized when he returned home at the end of last summer vacation served as a wake-up call for him once again.
However, some things cannot be controlled simply by wanting to.
Moreover, Bell felt very satisfied to have met a lover with similar interests.
Therefore, he had no reason to stop Hermione.
Besides, wizards are different from Muggle. Dumbledore over 100 years old and strong enough to kill a bull with one punch. Our own Nicolas, has lived for over 600 years and is still in great health and has a good appetite.
Therefore, he and Hermione have a long time ahead of them, and there's no need to dwell on the short time they have now.
"Hermione, your mind is in turmoil again. Confused thoughts make it difficult for magic to clearly define what you want to do. Remember, at all times, you must remain calm and clear-headed."
Bell fiddled with the magical materials in his hands, familiarizing himself with their properties while instructing Hermione without looking up.
Today is Sunday, and there are no classes scheduled. So Bell plans to give Hermione a thorough coaching session, explaining all the problems she's encountered and the points she needs to pay attention to in detail.
That way, he wouldn't have to keep an eye on Hermione all the time and would have time to do his own things.
Time is really running out for him.
"Alright, let's take a break, it'll be lunchtime soon."
After casually tossing the processed magical materials onto the table beside him, Bell spoke to Hermione, who had been training continuously for the entire morning, and then casually dispelled the mental interference magic on her.
Hermione looked utterly disheveled. Her face was pale, strands of hair clung to her forehead, and her clothes were soaked with sweat.
After Bell dispelled the spell, Hermione suddenly lost the urgency that had been driving her, and she collapsed to the ground. A wave of exhaustion washed over her, causing her to tremble slightly, unable to stand up.
Bell stepped forward, ignoring Hermione's slight struggles, picked her up, and placed her on the recliner.
Bell took out a bottle of restorative Potions from his pocket, fed it to Hermione in small sips, and then gently massaged the muscles of her limbs.
Enjoying Bell's service, Hermione's face turned bright red with embarrassment, almost to the point of steaming.
For some reason, all she could think about was quickly gaining control of her magic, and before she knew it, Bell had seen her in such a disheveled state.
Hermione swore she would be more careful from now on!
"Alright, you should have regained some strength by now. Go take a shower, you're covered in sweat."
Bell fanned his nose in disgust.
Give me back the emotion I just felt!
(╬ ̄俣)
While it might be true, how could you just say it so bluntly? She's a girl! How could you tell a girl in front of her that she smells of sweat?!
"Snort!"
With a snort, Hermione walked towards the house not far away.
Amid Bell's banter, Hermione didn't even notice that in such a short time, she had gone from being trembling all over and unable to stand up to being able to walk and stomp her feet vigorously.
Because training often consumes a lot of physical strength, several years ago, Bell used his father's connections to spend a lot of money to have a Potion Master design a "Stamina Potion" that could quickly restore his physical strength.
This "Stamina Potion" not only relieves fatigue and restores physical strength, but it can also help the body absorb nutrients and promote physical development.
Because one of the required materials is a very precious magical plant, the production cost is high and the yield is scarce, so it cannot be bought on the market.
Of course, no wizard would buy any potions to restore stamina.
Even potions that restore magic power are not in demand by many wizards.
Bell was almost asleep by the time Hermione finally finished getting ready.
"Hermione, if you slow down any further, we could go straight to dinner."
Looking at Hermione, who had regained her youthful beauty, Bell sighed helplessly.
"Snort!"
Hermione snorted again, clearly very unhappy with Bell.
She hadn't even settled the score with Bell for calling her smelly yet. Now, after spending so much time and effort washing herself until she smelled wonderful and dressing up beautifully, Bell's first words upon meeting her were that she was too slow!?
This is absolutely outrageous!
If you don't comfort her for two or three hours, she will never talk to Bell again!
"By the way, let's take a short rest this afternoon."
"What!? No, I don't need to rest, I can keep going!"
Upon hearing Bell's words, Hermione quickly replied that she could still work hard.
As for her previous decision to 'ignore Bell,' it was instantly forgotten.
