Little Fina Seemed to Be in Trouble

"But if we review before the exam, maybe we can get an 'O'."

Lena has excellent grades, especially with her friend Shanna, who is like a cheat code. Whenever she encounters a problem she doesn't understand, she can ask her for help anytime.

Therefore, neither Lena nor Phyllis is worried about failing the test.

Even so, Lena still hoped to review more.

Although with Shanna around, Lena had long given up on the idea of being number one in the grade. But she could still try for second place.

"Oh dear! All that 'ah' and 'oh' stuff, for things like theoretical scores, just get close enough."

The most important thing about magic is its application. No matter how well you memorize knowledge by burying yourself in books all day, it's meaningless if you don't actually cast spells.

"Can..."

"My Gege said so!"

Lena immediately shut her mouth.

It's not that she believes what her brother Shanna said is necessarily correct.

Rather, she knew that, for Shanna, what her Gege said must be correct!

She still vividly remembers that at a banquet a few years ago, a young male wizard was almost beaten half to death by Shanna for denying what her brother Shanna said.

Even now, the Little Wizard whose name Lena couldn't remember will run away as fast as he can when he sees Shanna in the distance at Hogwarts.

I wonder how big the psychological trauma is for the other person?

So, not wanting to upset Shanna, Lena immediately swallowed the words she was about to say.

Phyllis, who had been excitedly touching everything she saw, quickly noticed Lena's embarrassment.

Despite her seemingly carefree and easygoing demeanor compared to Lena, Phyllis is actually the most thoughtful of the three.

When she was little, Phyllis was much more introverted and shy than Lena is now.

However, after witnessing Shanna's "heroic" act of beating up the Little Wizard at that banquet, Phyllis was deeply attracted to Shanna's figure.

From then on, she not only mustered up the courage to become good friends with Shanna and Lena, but also underwent a dramatic change in her personality.

However, her introverted personality as a child still fostered Phyllis's keen observation skills regarding her surroundings.

"Shanna, why haven't I seen Fina come over to play these past few days? I haven't seen that cute little one in ages."

To ease Lena's embarrassment, Phyllis spoke up to change the subject.

"Fina, it... wait! Fina? Which Fina are you talking about?"

Shanna was suddenly startled. She turned around and stared wide-eyed at her best friend.

"It's your pet, Little Fina. Who else could it be?"

Phyllis looked at Shanna in confusion, wondering why the other woman had suddenly asked such a strange question.

Shanna's little eyes darted from left to right, then from right to left, her brain working at high speed. A brilliant plan appeared in her little head.

"Yeah, Fina! How come I didn't think of that before!?"

As she spoke, Shanna pulled a stack of white papers out of her pocket.

These are the key points of her plan that she has recorded over the past week, but they are no longer of any use.

Because she had come up with a better idea!

With a forceful throw of the paper out the window, Shanna casually cast a Flame Spell, completing the "destroy the evidence" achievement.

If Hermione's pet cat, Crookshanks, were here, it would realize that Shanna's actions were exactly the same as when Bell scattered Scabbers ' ashes.

They really are siblings, aren't they?

"Let's go! Let's go to the Library."

"Very good!"

"Go ask my Gege for Fina, then go to the Forbidden Forest."

"What!? The Forbidden Forest!?"

Lena nearly fainted from fright; her fragile heart simply couldn't handle such a dramatic ups and downs.

When Shanna mentioned going to the Library, she thought she would finally be able to sit down and study in peace.

Before her smile could fully bloom, she heard something: Shanna was going to the Forbidden Forest?!

"No! Shanna, going to the Forbidden Forest is against School Rules. If Professor Snape finds out, we're in big trouble!"

Lena was sweating profusely with anxiety. She gripped Shanna's hand tightly, hoping to stop her best friend from breaking School Rules.

Unfortunately, Shanna's years of dedication to using her Magic Power Enhancement body were not in vain.

Although the strength enhancement was only incidental, the little girl's strength was already comparable to that of an average adult male.

Therefore, no matter how hard Lena tried, she couldn't slow down Shanna's pace even by the slightest bit.

What's most infuriating is that Phyllis, instead of helping her stop Shanna, actually pushed her from behind so that Shanna could walk faster!

Does she even realize how serious the situation is?

"It's okay, my Gege said there's no danger in the Forbidden Forest at all. Gege even wanted to take me Forbidden Forest to catch spiders to eat."

However, for some reason, all the delicious little spiders ran away, so the trip had to be cancelled.

Oh, right! My Gege said we can't tell anyone about this. So you two have to keep it a secret for me.

Shanna walked towards the Library without looking back, explaining to her two best friends as she did so.

However, there were just too many flaws in Shanna's explanation. Not to mention Lena, even Phyllis was looking at Shanna's back with an expression of utter disbelief.

"What the hell is this about catching spiders to eat?!"

At this moment, in the minds of the two little girls, the name Bell had become synonymous with "improper".

How could anyone feed that kind of thing to their sister?!

"Besides, it doesn't matter if Professor Snape finds out; he won't dare punish us."

Shanna changed her perspective and continued to comfort her two good friends.

Why?

Phyllis asked curiously.

Just mentioning Professor Snape's name would conjure up that sinister, terrifying figure in Phyllis's mind... and give her goosebumps.

So the little girl couldn't understand how Professor Snape could possibly be afraid to punish them.

"Because I heard from my Gege that he often provides Professor Snape with magical materials that are hard to find on the market, although most of those materials are just scraps left over from my Gege's use..."

Oh, right, this can't be told to anyone else either. You two absolutely have to keep it a secret for me.

"If you can't tell anyone, then don't tell anyone!"

Phyllis and Lena silently complained to each other in their hearts.

Neither of them knew whether they should be touched by Shanna's trust in them, or speechless at Shanna's heartlessness.

Unaware that her two friends were criticizing her, Shanna continued talking to herself:

"So, if Professor Snape dares to punish us, I'll go tell my Gege that Professor Snape is bullying us, and I'll make Gege stop selling him magical materials, hmph!"
