A Sunlit Smile

"Watching the live stream doesn't give you the same sense of tension as being there in person. And everyone else is going to the event in the rain, so why won't you go, since you're not afraid of getting wet?"

Hermione put her hands on her hips and started scolding Bell.

"Yeah, Gege! I've never seen Quidditch Match live before! Come on, come on, come on!"

"Okay, okay, I'll go, alright?"

If he didn't agree, Bell's arm would be pulled off by his own sister.

The torrential rain couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of the Little Wizard. Even though they couldn't see the situation clearly in such heavy rain, it was truly baffling where they got such an intense passion.

They found a small area at the very back of the stadium Shanna Bell, Hermione Shanna's two best friends.

Shanna took out her Wand and waved it a few times, keeping the rain out and drying the ground.

At the same time, under the effect of the Constant Temperature Barrier, the air, which was becoming increasingly cold due to the rain, also became warm.

"Shanna, add another Repelling Jinx, otherwise it will be troublesome if others notice the anomaly here."

Bell Identify and Fill Gaps in her sister's knowledge, as she lacked experience.

Nodding, Shanna readily agreed and continued setting up the barrier to make the game more comfortable for everyone to watch.

Bell felt very gratified as she watched her younger sister skillfully set up the barrier.

The strength of the barrier that Shanna has set up now is in no way weaker than when he first entered the school.

As expected of my own sister!

"Shanna! You're amazing!"

Phyllis looked at her friend in surprise.

Phyllis had thought Shanna was very impressive during class. Shanna could learn all the Curses and Transfiguration taught by the professors with ease.

But what happened now was still somewhat beyond Phyllis's imagination.

Unlike what was in the textbook, she simply couldn't understand how Shanna had managed to do all that.

Lena shared the same feelings as Phyllis.

However, with Bell and Hermione, these two "outsiders," in the presence, Lena was a little shy and didn't dare to speak much. She just hid behind Phyllis, nodding vigorously.

"Can you teach us?"

Phyllis looked at Shanna with anticipation in her eyes.

If she could learn these spells, she would never be afraid of getting wet in the rain again.

"Certainly."

Shanna agreed without hesitation.

Like Bell, Shanna is also very generous to her good friends.

"However, whether you can learn it or not depends on yourselves."

To be honest, Shanna didn't think her two best friends could learn it at all. At least not in the short term.

It's worth noting that even Hermione, who has been with her Gege for almost a year, still can't cast barrier magic.

"Very good!"

Having received Shanna's affirmative answer, Phyllis and Lena happily embraced each other.

As for whether or not one can learn it?

The two girls never considered it.

Just kidding! Their intelligence is universally acknowledged, okay? Even if they're not as smart as Shanna, they're certainly not far off.

Therefore, the idea that you can't learn something is simply not true.

These two confident young girls, I just hope they won't be so discouraged that they start to doubt their existence.

Amidst the eating, drinking, and pleasant chatting, the time quickly came to 10 o'clock.

At Madam Hooch's whistle, the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff crews quickly took to the air.

The Quidditch Match has begun!

The conversation then shifted to the competition.

However, as he watched, Bell began to get a little bored.

Although the heavy rain couldn't obstruct Bell's vision, it could obstruct the athletes' vision!

The Little Wizard flying in the air, braving the raging wind and rain, were practically blind.

Just now, Gryffindor Beater Fred, while trying to hit a Bludger, missed his swing due to blurred vision. The Bludger grazed Fred's head, nearly disfiguring Fred.

One of Hufflepuff's Chaser even passed the ball directly to Gryffindor's Chaser, leaving both players completely bewildered.

"We have a traitor among us!"

These are angry Little Badgers.

"We didn't plant a mole, did we?"

These are confused Little Lions.

Not only Bell was bored, but even Shanna, who had been enthusiastic before, was starting to feel dissatisfied.

"Gege, how come they're so bad at this?"

Seeing their pathetic skills, Shanna felt ashamed for them.

With a skill level like that, she could take on 10!

Bell chuckled and patted his younger sister's head, saying with a smile:

"This is just an academy competition, after all. Of course, it can't be compared to the professional-level competitions you usually watch. Not to mention, the weather is so bad today."

Shanna pouted, clearly dissatisfied with this unexpected situation.

"By the way! The Quidditch World Cup is next summer, how about we go watch it together?"

"Really!?"

Shanna asked in surprise.

"But wasn't my Gege always very busy during summer vacation?"

During the previous two summer vacations, her older Gege was so busy that Shanna had no expectations for summer vacation.

"It won't happen again. From now on, my Gege will play with Shanna every holiday."

Bell looked at her younger sister with some guilt.

In the previous two years, he had indeed spent far too little time with Shanna.

Fortunately, this kind of thing won't happen again. The urgent matters have been mostly handled, and now we just need to proceed step by step without having to work as hard as before.

What? You're asking why I should spend my time with my sister instead of my girlfriend?

Just kidding! My girlfriend is nowhere near as important as my sister!

Ahem, of course, Bell would never let Hermione know about this idea.

(Although Hermione had already realized it.)

Having received her Gege's promise, the negative emotions that had been building up in Shanna's heart for months instantly vanished. A long-lost, sunny smile appeared on her face.

This little girl is so easily satisfied.

Seeing the smile on his younger sister's face, Bell felt incredibly at ease.

He's willing to give anything to protect that smile!

Unlike the Bell siblings, who were engrossed in chatting and not paying attention to the match, the other three girls were completely focused on the "intense" competition in mid-air. They hadn't even heard the conversation between Bell and Shanna.

Bell glanced at the three women beside him, who were tense and occasionally yelling, and felt speechless.

"Can you see clearly?"

So, things can be quite interesting these days. The Bell siblings, who could easily see the situation on the field, showed absolutely no interest in the match. Meanwhile, Hermione and her two friends, obscured by the downpour and unable to see what was happening, were completely engrossed in the game.
