Bell Became Famous

Bell Grylls became a sensation, a superstar.

It's safe to say that in Hogwarts today, Bell's name is known to everyone.

It's a pity they're all infamous...

Yes, after Bell achieved a godlike record of hundreds of kills in the Quidditch pitch that day, he was given the title of "Great Demon King" by the Little Wizard.

Whenever Bell passes by, people immediately make way, fearing that Bell might knock them down again if he gets annoyed.

Even the ghosts, after hearing so many rumors, would avoid Bell.

Before carrying out any pranks, Peeves always carefully scouts the area to make sure Bell isn't nearby before he executes his evil plan.

It's said that Bell's roommates even went to Professor Flitwick, crying and begging to change dorms. They were terrified that one day, while they were fast asleep, Bell would suddenly attack and devour them.

Bell was dismissive of this.

They're all misshapen and ugly, they look unappetizing, how could he possibly eat them!

Hermione was very unhappy about what happened to Bell.

In her opinion, if it weren't for Bell's Patronus devouring those terrifying Dementor, who knows how many more people would have met their demise.

Therefore, Bell's actions can be said to have saved the lives of hundreds of Little Wizard present at the time!

Although there was a minor, harmless mishap at the very end.

But none of that matters!

The important thing is that her boyfriend is clearly a great hero! Why is he being rejected by everyone?

This is absolutely baffling!

Bell was naturally very happy about his girlfriend's support.

However, it needs to be stated that Bell doesn't want to be a great hero. In fact, his initial intention wasn't to save those Little Wizard.

Unlike Hermione's anger, Shanna was actually quite happy about it.

The little girl now introduces herself to everyone she meets, saying she's the sister of "The Great Demon King" Bell. Seeing the panicked looks on everyone else's faces, the little girl is incredibly proud.

Now, when Shanna walks, she raises her chin by 8 degrees compared to before.

Overall, Bell's life remained unchanged. He didn't take the rejection from others to heart at all.

As long as the people he cares about aren't avoiding him, he doesn't care about the rest of the people he doesn't care about—let them die.

Incidentally, according to a member of his family who was lurking in the Ministry of Magic, Fudge nearly fainted after receiving reports of damage to the Dementor.

If it weren't for the heavy snow falling outside the window, Fudge would have thought someone had gotten the date wrong and was treating today as April Fools' Day.

Just as Fudge, still not fully conscious, stormed into Hogwarts, intending to confront them, he was met with Dumbledore's gloomy old face.

Then Fudge slunk away again...

"Hermione, do you have any plans for Christmas?"

Nestled in the warm and comfortable lounge, Bell held his girlfriend's soft body in his arms, playing with Hermione's hair with one hand.

"No, what's wrong?"

Hermione had initially intended to suggest that Bell stay at Hogwarts with her. But hearing Bell's question, she figured something must be wrong, so she decided to listen to what Bell had to say.

"My family will be hosting a big party on Christmas Eve this year. I would like to invite you and your parents to attend."

"Bell said lazily."

He only learned yesterday from the information compiled by Penelope that the initial technical integration had been completed, and that the Magical Satellite his family had built would be launched into space in the next few days.

"A banquet? An invitation for me and my parents?"

Hermione sat up in surprise from Bell's arms.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Bell looked at Hermione strangely, wondering why she was reacting so strongly.

"I..."

Hermione didn't know what to say. She herself didn't understand her own thoughts.

If asked whether she wanted to attend the Bell Family's party, the answer was undoubtedly yes. However, the thought of meeting Bell's parents made her less inclined to.

So, does she want to, or doesn't she?

Seeing Hermione suddenly become agitated for no apparent reason, Bell, completely bewildered, pointed to the Tranquility Incense beside him.

A small piece of Tranquility Incense quickly burned to ashes, releasing a faint sandalwood scent that brought a sense of tranquility.

"You can tell me if you have any problems. Trust me, I'll take care of it for you."

Bell's calm voice was filled with a convincing and domineering aura.

"I... I'm a little worried about my parents. They've never attended a wizard's party before."

Hermione said, her eyes darting away.

This is indeed something she was worried about, but it wasn't her biggest concern, so it doesn't count as lying.

"Don't worry, a wizard's party is really no different from Muggle's party. It's just eating, drinking, and bragging to each other."

Seeing Hermione hesitate to speak, Bell suddenly slapped his forehead.

"Don't worry, you are all my invited guests. No one will make things difficult for your parents. Otherwise, they would be making enemies of the Menethil Family!"

Upon hearing this, Hermione glanced at Bell with a hint of surprise, then hesitated before continuing to speak.

Bell rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

Seeing Hermione's little hands constantly fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, the clever Bell immediately understood!

"Oh, I see! School uniforms are fine. Maybe I could get you a dress? Actually, neither Shanna nor I plan to wear dresses. I hate uncomfortable clothes."

Bell looked on with amusement at his conflicted girlfriend. He'd thought it was something serious, but it was just this?

Hermione glanced speechlessly at Bell, who considered herself clever; she wasn't worried about the dress at all.

Although she really didn't have a dress...

"Who wears a school uniform to a banquet? People will laugh at them to death!"

Only Bell's unreliable brain could come up with such an idea.

"What's wrong with the school uniform? You're kidding, this is the official attire of Headmaster Dumbledore, the greatest White Wizard of this century. Anyone who dares to laugh at it, let him go have a cup of tea with Dumbledore, and let's see if he can still laugh then."

"Ugh! I don't want to wear a school uniform! And it's not because of the dress. Although I really don't have one..."

Hermione playfully interrupted her boyfriend's Train.

She's really annoyed right now, okay? Can't she be a little more serious?

"So what exactly is the reason?"

"Actually... it's because... you see, I'm not good-looking, my hair is always messy, and everyone says my front teeth are very big. Also..."

Bell's headache worsened as he listened to Hermione's incoherent explanation.

No, are people these days starting to have appearance anxiety at such a young age?

"Hermione!"

Bell sternly interrupted his girlfriend's incessant chatter.

If he let her continue, he was afraid Hermione would become so ashamed that she would jump off a building.

"Listen! You're beautiful! Your hair, your teeth, everything's perfect! Be confident, these are all gifts from your parents. How heartbroken they would be if they knew you felt inferior about the body they gave you!"

For wizards, changing their appearance is as simple as waving their Wand a few times; it couldn't be easier.

However, in reality, very few people would do that.

Because that's meaningless.

Different people have different aesthetic standards. Blindly pursuing beauty in the eyes of others will only lead to losing yourself in the end.

Imagining her parents' heartbroken state, Hermione felt ashamed of her earlier remarks.

Faced with Bell's serious gaze, Hermione gritted her teeth and finally decided to voice her true concerns.

"I... I'm not ready yet..."

"When will you be ready?"

Bell didn't even bother to ask Hermione what exactly was unprepared.

Anyway, he wouldn't understand even if I asked, so let's keep it simple.

"N-I don't know..."

"Then don't bother preparing anything!"

"Ah?"

"It's settled then! I'll come pick you and your parents up on the afternoon of the 24th!"

After saying that, Bell ran off in a flash, giving Hermione no chance to refuse.

Watching Bell's retreating figure, Hermione stomped her foot in dissatisfaction, but a happy smile appeared on her lips.
