Although he felt there was no problem, Bell still took out his Wand, preparing to help the people on the ground put out the fire.

The main reason was that Harry and the others' earth-shattering, heart-wrenching wails finally caught Hagrid's attention.

With so many people around, Hagrid obviously couldn't use his Wand, so he had no choice but to stride towards Harry and the others, intending to use some makeshift method to help them put out the fire.

You're kidding, with Hagrid's monstrous strength, if he really slapped him a few times, he might not even be able to get the buckles out. Who would be responsible for that then?

"Water from the Fountain!"

Bell controlled the Water Pillar to split into six, pouring it over the six people. While extinguishing the flames, he also successfully soaked them to the bone.

However, Bell doesn't offer drying services, so hopefully they won't catch a cold.

The Care of Magical Creatures ended amidst a commotion.

Before nightfall, news of Hermione's daytime feat had spread throughout the entire school.

Surprisingly, the news did not cause much of a stir.

When many people learned that Hermione used Flame Spell to roast Harry and the other five children and eat them, they all said with a matter of course:

"As expected of that Great Demon King's girlfriend, she's just as ruthless and terrifying."

Although he felt there was something fishy about the rumors, Bell breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Hermione hadn't been treated badly because of them.

Unlike Hermione, whose situation remained unchanged, Bell was feared even more.

"So Hermione started the fire, so why are you all looking at me like this?"

Bell looked completely bewildered.

However, he didn't want to take the blame for his girlfriend's mistake, but he had to.

"Gege! Is the Care of Magical Creatures really that interesting? I want to go too!"

Shanna has always loved Magical Creatures. She's played with all the flowers, plants, and animals in her house... cough cough, I mean, they've all played with her.

Now that she has learned that it is permissible to set people on fire during the Care of Magical Creatures, Shanna is even more eager to take the class.

"But you can only take this course in the third year."

And let me tell you, Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures is really, really boring.

All they do all day is fiddle with those disgusting Flobberworm. If Fina didn't hate caterpillars, I would have fed them all to Fina long ago!

Bell, completely unaware that her younger sister actually wanted to burn people for fun, explained with a serious expression.

"Awoo!?"

Upon hearing this, Little Fina looked at her owner with a shocked expression.

It had no idea that its owner had ever harbored such a wicked thought!

Bell stuck a sausage in Little Fina's mouth and stuffed it in, silencing the little one.

He didn't feed it, so why is he meddling in the fun?

"Huh? What's there to protect about those insects?"

Shanna was very puzzled.

Aren't those slimy bugs everywhere? When she occasionally sees them, she just feeds them to her pets. Why should she protect them?

"Who knows what Hagrid is thinking? I certainly can't understand his ideas."

Bell could understand that Hagrid would become more cautious after the accident in the first lesson.

But no matter what, spending an entire school year taking care of a few caterpillars is just too much! It could even be considered dereliction of duty.

There are so many harmless Magical Creatures out there, why not just get a few of those Puffskein? At least in terms of looks, they'd crush those disgusting bugs!

"By the way, Gege, where's Hermione?"

Shanna glanced around and asked curiously.

Normally, her Gege would follow her everywhere he went, wouldn't he? Although Shanna was quite unhappy about it, she had gotten used to it over time. Now that Hermione was suddenly gone, she felt like something was missing.

"She went to her Divination; she won't be done for a while."

Bell felt helpless whenever this was mentioned.

After several trial classes, Hermione finally realized that compared to Ancient Runes and Arithmancy, the content of Divination and Muggle Studies was indeed somewhat lacking.

Hermione especially felt that Professor Trelawney was just fooling them during the Divination.

Because, when Professor Trelawney was interpreting those nonsensical Prophecy for them, she always had the illusion that Bell was talking to her.

Therefore, Hermione ultimately did not choose to take either of those courses.

But this does not mean that she completely gave up on these two courses.

She not only memorized the textbooks for both courses from beginning to end, but also went to audit these courses whenever she had free time.

Naturally, Hermione invited Bell to go with her, but Bell refused without hesitation.

"Hermione hasn't given up yet!?"

"Shanna asked in surprise."

She knew Hermione had always wanted to learn Divination, but she couldn't understand Hermione's thoughts.

Influenced by her older Gege, Shanna had absolutely no interest in Divination or anything like that. She'd rather spend that time practicing Curses and becoming stronger.

My Gege once said that as long as you become strong enough, you can remain unchanged and adapt to any situation. No matter what happens in the future, you can eliminate all those who disagree with you!

As the end of the semester drew closer, fewer and fewer people were playing and laughing on the lawn outside the castle, while more and more people were buried in their books in the Library.

The struggling students are diligently memorizing the textbook content, hoping to barely pass. Otherwise, their parents won't let them off easy when they go home for summer vacation.

The top students are also reviewing the knowledge they have learned this year, trying to refresh their knowledge and achieve an all-around 'O' grade to dominate the top spot on the academic leaderboard.

Just as Hogwarts was unusually filled with a studious atmosphere, three suspicious figures wandered through the castle corridors, avoiding the passersby.

"Shanna, what are you planning to do? Exams are coming up soon, is it really okay if we don't study?"

Lena looked at her best friend with unease.

For several days now, Shanna has been leading the two of them on endless wanderings around the castle, and they've gone around in circles countless times.

Whenever she asked Shanna what she planned to do, Shanna would brush her off, saying they would find out later.

What made Lena most desperate was that her other good friend, Phyllis, not only did not help her dissuade Shanna at all, but also seemed very interested and urged Shanna to go on adventures every day.

"Oh! You'll see when the time comes."

Shanna replied dismissively without turning her head.

At this moment, she was observing the layout of the castle while sketching and writing on a piece of paper. Every now and then, she would stop to think for a while.

"Besides, it's just the final exam, what's there to be nervous about? Look at Lis, she's not nervous at all."

"Exactly, what's there to be nervous about? Lena, your grades are usually better than mine, and I don't care, so why are you so worried?"

Phyllis casually echoed Shanna's sentiments.

Compared to sitting in Library, facing the boring knowledge in books, Phyllis prefers this kind of exciting adventure.

Although she didn't know what Shanna was planning to do...
