Shanna Goes to School, and Bell Worries

"Gege! Wake up! Mom said we'll be too late if we don't leave now!"

Little Shanna shook her Gege vigorously.

The little girl was extremely excited today. Because today, she was finally going to go to the fun-filled Hogwarts with her Gege!

Excited Shanna had been eager to share her joy with her Gege. However, she knew Gege had been very tired lately. So the well-behaved girl waited until her mother asked her to wake her Gege before entering Gege bedroom.

Bell opened his eyes groggily, looking completely bewildered.

Yesterday morning, after ending his video call with Hermione, Bell went to sleep. He slept the entire time, except for eating and using the restroom.

Looking at her sister standing by the bed with an excited expression, Bell didn't realize where she was for a while.

"What time is it?"

Bell muttered as he asked.

It's 10 o'clock.

"Shanna said."

"Mom said the Hogwarts Express departs at 11 o'clock, and if we don't get up now, we'll miss it."

With difficulty, Bell sat up and rubbed his head, which was throbbing from sleeping too long.

"Shanna, get me a bottle of Focus Potion."

"No!"

Unexpectedly, the little girl seriously refused her Gege's request.

"Lim said that my Gege has been drinking too many Focus Potion lately and can't drink any more for a while!"

"Well..."

Has he been drinking a lot lately? Bell doesn't remember.

To meet the deadline, Bell has been working non-stop for the past month, especially in the last few days. It's only thanks to the magic that he didn't collapse from exhaustion.

"We really can't do this again."

After making up his mind, Bell got up, washed up, and ate something simple, then the family used Floo Powder to get to Platform 9 3/4.

Shanna is already 11 years old. No matter how worried Bell is, he can't keep his little sister from using Floo Powder forever.

Furthermore, Shanna now possesses a certain level of self-defense capability. Therefore, Bell can be somewhat at ease.

There was very little time left before the train's departure. After listening to a few brief instructions from his parents, Bell took Shanna onto the train.

Looking at his sister cheering and jumping for joy in front of him, Bell was very worried!

He wasn't worried about Shanna's safety. On the contrary, he was concerned about the safety of everyone else at Hogwarts.

It wasn't that Bell thought Shanna would do anything to others. After all, her own little sister was so well-behaved, how could she possibly do anything bad?

Even if there is a conflict, it must be someone else's fault!

Cough cough...

Actually, when he was packing his luggage, Bell originally planned to prepare a suitcase for his sister that was similar to his "Scamander's Suitcase".

However, the little girl insisted on putting her luggage in the small handbag that her Gege had given her before.

Heaven knows how many dangerous magical items this little girl has stuffed into her handbag!

Yes, only heaven knows. Although all those magical items were gifts from Bell to his younger sister, there were just so many that Bell couldn't even remember exactly how many he had given away or what kinds of items they contained.

What if Shanna accidentally took out a weapon of mass destruction while taking out her luggage, and then accidentally detonated it?

The scene was too beautiful for Bell to even imagine.

All he knew was that if that really happened, his younger sister would definitely go down in history.

"Gege, there aren't any empty carriages left!"

Shanna pouted and said with dissatisfaction.

She didn't want to sit in the same carriage as anyone other than her Gege.

"Shanna, if I remember correctly, your good friends Phyllis and Lena are also starting school this year, right? Aren't you planning to go see them?"

Phyllis Macmillan and Leina Cartelana were Shanna's best friends from a party when they were little. Over the years, the three girls have often chatted together, and they seem to have a very good relationship.

"No, I've arranged to meet Lis and Lei Lei at school."

No matter how many girlfriends you have, none of them are as important as your own Gege!

Shrugging, Bell didn't seem to care. He expanded his Perception Domain, and after a while, he turned to look at Shanna.

"Come with me, I've found the place."

Following behind her older Gege, Shanna looked around curiously.

The little girl was a bit confused because she saw many people struggling to carry their large suitcases onto the luggage rack.

"Gege, why are their suitcases so big?"

"Shanna asked, puzzled. The little girl hadn't really noticed this before," she said.

"Because they... no, their parents, are not skilled in using the Undetectable Extension Charm."

Bell explained without turning his head.

"Huh!? Why!?"

While the Undetectable Extension Charm is indeed quite difficult— Shanna herself only recently mastered the ability to create a stable space—it's not so difficult that even 30 or 40 years of study wouldn't be enough to master Curses.

"There's nothing strange about it. Even Dad's Undetectable Extension Charm isn't as good as Shanna's."

Bell proudly patted his little sister's head.

Because William, the father, was always busy with family affairs, he didn't practice magic much. In recent years, his spellcasting ability had even declined.

Bell had specifically reminded his father about this. However, judging from his father's dismissive attitude at the time, William clearly didn't take it to heart.

Hehe~!

Little Shanna was very happy to be praised by her Gege again today.

"But Gege, why didn't they use Levitation Charm to move the luggage?"

Shanna raised her second question.

"This..."

Bell was in a bit of a predicament.

The answer is quite simple: those Little Wizard cannot use the Levitation Charm to levitate such heavy objects.

But Bell hesitated. He didn't know if he should tell Shanna the truth as it was.

If Shanna discovers that her spellcasting abilities far surpass those of her peers, will the little girl become arrogant and complacent?

Ultimately, considering that Shanna would soon be attending Hogwarts, and that the clever girl would quickly realize this even without Bell saying anything, Bell decided to tell Shanna the truth.

"Because their spellcasting abilities are not enough to levitate such heavy luggage."

To Bell's surprise, Shanna did not show any surprise after hearing his answer. Instead, she nodded thoughtfully.

Actually, although Shanna didn't really understand the spellcasting abilities of the other Little Wizard, through conversations with her two best friends and her parents' daily chatter, the girl still had some doubts.

"Are my Gege and I different from other people?"

This is a question that Shanna has had for many years.

However, this doubt did not worry Shanna. On the contrary, the little girl was secretly pleased.

Because only she and her Gege are special, isn't that wonderful!

Based on this idea, Shanna did not delve deeper into the matter.

Only today, after hearing her Gege's answer, did the little girl confirm her guess from back then.

"As expected, my Gege is the best!"
