Only Magic Can Fight Magic

Walking on the grass outside the castle, Bell was in a very good mood.

Last night, after he persuaded Blake with both emotion and reason, Black finally agreed to the deal with Bell.

Early this morning, Bell sent someone from his household to meet with Black and collect "protection money".

Although he slept almost an hour less than usual last night due to negotiations with Black, Bell, having successfully gotten something for free, generously said he wouldn't hold it against Black.

What? You're asking what "freebies" means?

Hehe~!

Just kidding, how could anything possibly happen to Harry at Hogwarts?

Hogwarts is indeed dangerous, but that's from the perspective of the other Little Wizard.

For Harry, this was just a beginner's dungeon.

And most importantly, he also has Dumbledore, a max-level character, to train him, Snape, a max-level sycophant, to protect him.

So, is there any danger? Not at all!

As the saying goes, the person who knows you best is often your enemy.

Although Dumbledore did not consider Bell an enemy, Bell always regarded Dumbledore as his number one imaginary enemy.

By the way, even someone like Voldemort wouldn't rank among Bell's.

Therefore, Bell had absolute confidence in Dumbledore. As long as Dumbledore was alive, Harry would be safe.

But Black knew nothing of this.

In his view, Dumbledore untrustworthy, and Snape was someone he desperately wanted to kill. From this perspective, Harry was practically living in dire straits, on the verge of sudden death at any moment!

"Bell, what good news happened? You seem to be in a great mood?"

Hermione was puzzled as she looked at her boyfriend, who was all smiles and practically humming a tune.

You see, ever since she learned yesterday that Lupin was in cahoots with that Wanted Criminal Black, she hadn't been able to sleep well last night.

Most importantly, Bell wouldn't let her report Lupin, which made her even more worried.

Knowing her boyfriend as well as she does, Hermione wouldn't be surprised at all if Bell had also turned to crime.

"Nothing."

Unaware that his image in his girlfriend's eyes had almost plummeted to rock bottom, Bell casually brushed it off.

He didn't intend to tell Hermione about his deal with Black. Bell felt it was too early for Hermione to be aware of such a slightly dark arrangement.

Hermione glanced at her boyfriend suspiciously, knowing that Bell was hiding something from her again. But since Bell didn't want to talk about it, she wouldn't force him.

Of course, cheating is an exception!

"Bell, what do you think we'll be doing in our ' Care of Magical Creatures later?"

As a mature and considerate girlfriend, Hermione has now learned to proactively change the subject.

"Ha! What else can we do? Keep observing the Flobberworm, of course. I just don't understand, the Flobberworm have already pupated, and they're still several months away from emerging in April. What's so interesting about that?"

Bell gets furious when the Care of Magical Creatures comes up.

Ever since the accident in the first lesson, Hagrid has become very cautious every time he attends class again.

The course content not only dropped many levels from the handsome Hippogriff to the disgusting Flobberworm, but what's most infuriating is that the level is stuck there!

Last semester, they spent the entire semester studying the Flobberworm, and it's estimated that the content won't change much this semester.

The only good news was that the Flobberworm, under the careful care of the Little Wizard, were all plump and healthy, and their slime production had increased dramatically, which pleased Snape greatly.

"Hermione, can we skip this Care of Magical Creatures? Instead of taking care of those 'caterpillars,' can't we do something else?"

Bell had lost count of how many times he had tried to persuade Hermione to give up the Care of Magical Creatures.

Therefore, he had anticipated Hermione's answer.

"No! Professor Hagrid would be heartbroken!"

As expected, Hermione rejected Bell's offer once again, for the exact same reason.

Bell looked up at the sky speechlessly.

Bell didn't know if Hagrid would be sad if they gave up on Care of Magical Creatures.

But he knew that if he continued, he would be very sad!

As expected, my younger sister is the most considerate. I'll go find Shanna and comfort myself after class.

"By the way, Bell. I heard from Harry and the others yesterday that Buckbeak's court date has been set for April 24th. Could you help him out?"

What Hermione didn't mention was that last night in the common room, she not only heard Buckbeak's court date, but also Ron's analysis that if the Malfoy family used their influence, Buckbeak's defeat was practically inevitable.

So, will the Malfoy family use their influence?

After recalling her impression of Draco Malfoy, Hermione's last shred of hope vanished.

Therefore, after much consideration, the kind-hearted Hermione finally gritted her teeth and decided to ask her boyfriend for help.

Although Hermione didn't know much about the Magical World, and even less about whether the Menethil Family or Malfoy family were more powerful, this was the only solution she could think of.

Who is Buckbeak?

Scratching his head, Bell felt the name sounded familiar. Where had he heard it before?

"Buckbeak is the Hippogriff that attacked Malfoy in the first Care of Magical Creatures."

Hermione was speechless.

Seeing her boyfriend's unreliable behavior, she couldn't help but worry about the future of the Menethil Family.

Shouldn't she advise Bell to give up the position of heir to the family head to Shanna?

Hermione suddenly had this dangerous thought: if Shanna found out, she might be beaten to death by the little girl who was "protecting her cub."

"Oh! You mean it!"

After a moment's recollection, Bell remembered the imposing Hippogriff that had once thoroughly dominated Malfoy.

He actually had a pretty deep impression of this incident. Mainly because he almost laughed at Malfoy's stupidity back then.

"What happened to it? Did Malfoy sue it?"

Considering Malfoy's usual behavior, Bell thought this seemed pretty normal.

"Yes."

Hermione said with concern.

"The problem is, it was entirely Malfoy's fault. And he caused Malfoy own injury, yet he's trying to shift the blame—it's utterly despicable!"

At this point, Hermione was filled with righteous indignation again.

What's wrong with Pure-blood?

Does Pure-blood give you the right to distort facts and do whatever you want?

"Bell, please help Buckbeak, or it will be killed."

As the saying goes, only magic can fight magic!

The clever Hermione decides to use Pure-blood to fight against Pure-blood!
