"..."

Hermione stared at Bell for a long while before she realized what Bell had said.

Bang!

A mushroom cloud rose above Hermione's head.

"I want to die!"

Hermione covered her bright red face tightly.

Trying to find a crack in the ground to crawl into—those low-level tactics are no longer enough to soothe her heart.

Of course, killing someone to silence them before dying is standard practice.

Hermione glanced furtively at Bell and Shanna sitting opposite her.

She really wanted to strangle Bell!

But even someone as 'cruel' as Hermione couldn't bring herself to kill a cute little girl who was even younger than her.

Similarly, even someone as 'cruel' as Hermione wouldn't kill a younger sister's Gege in front of her.

So, unfortunately, Hermione had to temporarily suppress her idea of strangling Bell.

"Hmph! You're lucky!"

Thanks to his younger sister, Bell was able to escape with his life, completely unaware that he had just been on the verge of death.

"Um... the weather is really nice today."

Bell tried to ease his girlfriend's embarrassment.

However, looking at the gloomy sky outside the window, the thought that Hermione had just suppressed resurfaced in her mind like a devil's temptation.

Soon, the train started moving again.

Because of the fright they had experienced earlier, the Little Wizard on the train spoke in two octaves lower than usual.

The rest of the journey went smoothly, and Hermione gradually overcame her earlier embarrassment, discussing Dementor, Harry, and her holiday experiences with Bell and Shanna.

"The train will arrive at Hogwarts Platform in 5 minutes..."

As the train attendant's voice echoed through the train, the Little Wizard made their final preparations. After the train came to a complete stop, a group of people, some nervous, some expectant, and some excited, disembarked one after another.

To the students' surprise, they didn't hear Hagrid's familiar loud voice after getting off the train.

In the past, every time school started, Hagrid would wait here, shouting for the new students to gather around him.

Is Hagrid sick?

Recalling Hagrid's size, the Little Wizard, who thought Hagrid would probably never get sick in his life, looked around curiously in the dim light.

Thanks to Hagrid's height, the Little Wizard easily spotted Hagrid from a short distance away.

Hagrid stood nervously and awkwardly beside several adult wizards. On the other side of those wizards, several terrifying Dementor hovered in the air.

The Little Wizard, who had been looking puzzled, immediately understood Hagrid's frightened deer-like demeanor.

Even Neville, whom Snape described as "stupider than Troll," wouldn't forget his terrible experience on the train so quickly.

Even the most arrogant and cocky Little Wizard had to admit that these monsters called Dementor were indeed terrifying. Even more terrifying than the adults had described!

Suddenly, the Dementor stirred into a commotion. One of the Dementor approached the group of wizards and seemed to say something to the leader.

The wizard in charge glanced in the direction of the train for a while, then turned back and gave a few instructions to the others before walking towards the train alone.

Like waves crashing against rocks, the previously noisy crowd immediately quieted down and parted to the sides, allowing the obviously unapproachable wizard to pass through without any obstruction.

At the end of the path that the crowd had parted, stood three Little Wizard who had just stepped off the train.

"Bell".

Hermione nervously tugged at Bell's sleeve.

"Let's move aside."

Hermione was a little scared. The other person's aura put a lot of pressure on her, making her feel somewhat panicked.

Although from the other person's gaze, Hermione was basically certain that they were there to see them. More precisely, they were there to see Bell.

However, Hermione still held onto a sliver of hope.

What if she misjudged the situation? What if the other party actually wanted to enter the train for inspection?

Bell patted Hermione's hand, signaling her not to worry.

Bell stood silently in place, watching the other person approach, without saying a word or moving an inch.

Finally, under everyone's watchful eyes, the wizard walked up to Bell.

Just as everyone was nervously speculating whether Bell would be killed or captured, an unexpected scene unfolded: the wizard actually bowed respectfully to Bell!

"Hello, Young Master. I am very sorry for the inconvenience caused, and I hope you can understand."

Snailey said respectfully.

At that moment, he felt an urge to strangle Fudge and those damned Dementor. Before coming here, no one had told him that the target of this mission would be his own Young Master — Bell Menethil!

Snailey's full name is Snelli Vastod. He was one of the first wizards to join the Menethil Family.

Snailey's childhood dream was to become an Auror. It should be said that in his youth, in that era of the Dark Lord's rampage, the dreams of Little Wizard, besides becoming Death Eater, were basically limited to becoming Auror.

Unfortunately, his Muggle family background ultimately prevented him from realizing his dream.

After years of living in a daze, the olive branch extended to him by the Menethil Family gave him hope once again, and hope of becoming stronger!

Snailey never wanted to experience that fear again, that he would be constantly worried that a Death Eater would suddenly appear next to him and kill him!

Having rallied, Snailey, through his talent and relentless training, ultimately distinguished himself from the many wizards who were dependent on the Menethil Family, becoming the most outstanding one.

Not long ago, Lord William found him, made him an Auror, and through the Menethil Family's connections, quickly promoted him to the position of Auror Squad Leader.

Based on his conversation with Lord William, Snailey deduced that the family's aim might be to make him the head of the Auror Office, in charge of the entire Auror force, thereby providing convenience for the family.

Therefore, Snailey has been actively taking on tasks and demonstrating his abilities in order to live up to Lord William expectations.

And then, it turned out like this...

"I need an explanation!"

Bell glanced at the group of Dementor not far away with disgust and asked in a voice devoid of any emotion.

"Especially, why have those disgusting monsters appeared in front of me again!"

Fortunately, because of the distance, Shanna wasn't affected by the Dementor. Otherwise, Bell would have torn those bastards to shreds long ago!

"It's like this, Young Master. Minister Fudge received a report from the Dementor that they were attacked on the train and one of their companions was killed. Therefore, Minister Fudge sent us to investigate the situation, and... and incidentally, to apprehend the murderer..."

Snailey braced himself and gave a brief explanation of the cause and effect.

Now he only hopes that his Young Master can be as steady and mature as rumored, and won't vent all his temper on him.
