Bell: "He Burned a Book, Why Are You All Looking at Me?"

Fortunately, the distance from the castle to the edge of the Forbidden Forest wasn't too far, so the group of poor Little Wizard were able to reach their class alive before they were stuffed to death by the "dog food".

Hagrid was incredibly excited as it was his first class as a professor.

For this lesson, he not only started planning during the summer vacation to create a fun and exciting start, but also to make all the students fall in love with his course and those adorable Magical Animals.

Today, he arrived at the classroom early, checking again and again to make sure that his preparations were complete.

Finally, class time arrived, Hagrid's face flushed with excitement as he looked at the students standing before him, all of whom were present.

"Everyone, come over here. Follow me, I have something special to show you today!"

Hagrid gesturing for his students to follow him, and strode along the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

About five minutes later, the group arrived outside a small enclosure. The enclosure was completely empty.

"Stand around the fence! Yes! Very good. Next, we need to open our textbooks..."

How do I open it?

Malfoy's signature voice rang out, causing Hagrid to pause for a moment.

Hagrid looked at Malfoy blankly, not understanding what the other was talking about.

Just as Malfoy was about to give Hagrid a good laugh, a gasp suddenly came from the side.

"Bell! Your book! What happened to your book...?"

Everyone looked in the direction from which the exclamation came.

In that direction, Hermione was covering her mouth, staring wide-eyed at Bell beside her.

Bell slowly took out the textbook for this school year's Care of Magical Creatures— "The Monster Book of Monsters"—from his pocket.

The Little Wizard glanced at the textbook lying quietly in Bell's hands, then looked down at their own tattered books, which, even when bound hand and foot, were still struggling incessantly.

"Haha! That kid bought the wrong book!"

The Little Wizard, especially the Slytherin Little Wizard who had been terrified by Bell last night, watched Bell with schadenfreude. Let's see what he's going to do now!

Hagrid, on the other hand, glanced at the textbooks that were tightly bound in everyone's hands, and then stared at Harry's textbook for a while before looking at Bell with great delight.

"Excuse me, come to the front! Yes, it's you!"

At least someone knew the correct way to open the textbook. Although Hagrid was a little disappointed that it wasn't young Harry, something was better than nothing.

Bell walked through the crowd to Hagrid's side. Hermione followed.

"This student..."

"Bell Menethil, Professor. Just call me Bell."

Bell introduced himself.

Hagrid was quite pleased that Bell called him "Professor." He scratched his cheek sheepishly and then said to Bell:

"Bell, could you share your secret to opening textbooks with everyone?"

"Of course, Professor."

Bell took the textbook from Hermione and tore off the magical tape binding it.

As soon as the tape was torn off, the textbook, now free, opened its mouth wide and jumped up to bite Bell.

Malfoy was watching Bell intently.

Don't get me wrong, he wasn't worried about Bell's safety. On the contrary, he was praying that Bell would get bitten by that wretched book. The better, he'd like Bell to be badly injured!

However, Malfoy was destined to be disappointed.

With a loud boom, blazing flames erupted from Bell's hand, enveloping "The Monster Book of Monsters".

After a brief struggle, Hermione's textbook quickly stopped "jumping around" in the face of the ever-approaching flames.

It curled up tightly, trying its best to delay its fate of being burned to ashes.

Under Bell's precise magical control, the flames only scorched some parts of the cover and slightly yellowed the edges of the pages before stopping their inward contraction.

With a wave of his hand, he dispersed the flames, and the textbook fell from mid-air into Bell's hands.

The textbook, which had been so arrogant and domineering just moments before, now resembled a docile and obedient kitten, even gently rubbing against Bell's palm.

Under everyone's astonished gaze, Bell returned the textbook to Hermione.

"From now on, this book will behave itself while I'm around. If you want it to obey you too, just burn it with fire when you get back."

Hermione took her textbook in a daze. Bell's actions were so smooth that she was momentarily stunned.

"Well... Bell, why did you think of using this method?"

Hagrid managed to ask with difficulty. He was also taken aback by Bell's antics.

"Why?"

Looking at Hagrid with a puzzled expression, Bell wondered why the other would ask such an obvious question.

"That's because the law of the jungle is the fundamental law of nature. If it doesn't obey, just beat it until it obeys, right?"

Bell said matter-of-factly.

"Um... this..."

"Oh! No!"

Before Hagrid could figure out what to say to ease the awkwardness, another gasp came from the crowd.

Everyone turned to look again, curious. Who was this 'expert' who had appeared this time?

The exclamation came from Ron. He was currently jumping around a campfire with Harry and Neville, seemingly trying to extinguish it.

Huh? Wait a minute! A campfire?

The group stared at the campfire for a moment, then turned back and stared intently at Bell.

Why are you all looking at me? What does it have to do with me that he burned books?

Bell thought to himself.

Yes, the campfire itself is the textbook for the Care of Magical Creatures.

It has to be said that compared to others, Ron's execution ability is at least quite strong. And his new Wand seems to work very well?

There was no doubt that Ron's new Wand was very effective. He successfully cast the Flame Spell on his first try.

However, at this moment, Ron would rather the Wand not be so useful!

For the first time, Ron felt a pang of nostalgia for the old Wand his Gege had left behind. If he were still using that broken Wand, perhaps his textbooks would have been saved?

Ron suspected... no! There was no need to suspect anymore! Ron was certain that Bell was targeting him!

That so-called "Flame Taming Method" is utter nonsense! They're definitely using an illusion!

First, they tamed the textbook using other methods, and then they created some illusions of flames to lure him into their trap!

Ron had disliked Bell for a long time. Even though he was a Ravenclaw, he spent all his time hanging around their Gryffindor Common Room.

Even without evidence, Ron still firmly believes that Harry's diary was definitely stolen by Bell last semester.

Later, Bell even started dating Hermione from their house!?

Ugh! Those two nasty people together are even more annoying!

Ron really wanted to do what Harry did and stick his Wand up Bell's nostril!
