To Be Continued

"Hermione, hold my hand tightly, and remember, you must not let go."

After saying that, there was another distortion in space, and the two disappeared from the living room.

"Hmm~"

The moment the Apparition appeared, Hermione, without even bothering to observe her surroundings, forcefully covered her mouth.

Just moments before, as Bell had instructed, she had grasped his hand tightly when she felt a dizzying sensation, and then a dazzling array of colors flashed before her eyes, and there she was, standing here.

To be honest, she had always heard that having a phantom companion was unpleasant, but she didn't have a concrete idea of what it was like.

Today, she finally realized that this wasn't just uncomfortable; it was extremely uncomfortable!

Bell gently patted Hermione's back, Bell palm emitting an emerald green light, helping Hermione alleviate the aftereffects of Apparition.

In fact, to make Hermione feel better, he deliberately used more magic to stabilize the space around them.

If it were an ordinary adult wizard who Side-Along Apparition Hermione, she might have already vomited.

"By the way, Bell, didn't the Ministry of Magic give you trouble for using your Wand in my house before?"

In truth, Hermione should have noticed this problem much earlier.

Even if we accept Bell's claim that the Ministry of Magic cannot accurately determine who cast the spell when other adult wizards or House-elf are present, the spell is not guaranteed to be cast.

However, none of those things exist in her home.

Last Christmas, she was so preoccupied with the nervousness of meeting Bell's parents that she overlooked this detail.

But today, because her mind was filled with nausea and dizziness, her curiosity and anticipation were diminished, allowing her brain to function normally.

"Oh, you mean this?"

Bell casually waved his Wand twice.

"Because I've bribed the Ministry of Magic staff who monitor Little Wizard' Wand usage, any magical fluctuations around me are ignored."

"..."

Hermione stared at her boyfriend in disbelief.

How could he do this?! This is wrong, it's illegal! Does he even realize how serious this is?!

"Bell!"

I want to use Curses outside of school too! Could you make them ignore the magical fluctuations around me as well?

Seriously! And Bell is her boyfriend!

You know, whenever there's something good, she'll think of Bell first!

For example, exam preparation...

But look at Bell! With such a great thing as being able to cast Curses anytime, anywhere, at will, Bell didn't even think of giving her a share too!?

Good heavens! How much time has she wasted!

"No."

Bell refused Hermione's request without even thinking.

"Why!?"

"Hermione, I remember telling you that there's a reason the Ministry of Magic forbids Little Wizard from using Wand outside of school. Without..."

"But I'm not the same person I used to be! I'm very strong now!"

Hermione interrupted her boyfriend.

Of course she remembered what Bell had told her, but that was all Old Almanac.

A slightly conceited Hermione felt she was fully qualified to use Wand independently outside of school.

"Don't tell me what you think, tell me what I think. I think for safety's sake, you still shouldn't be using your Wand outside of school."

Hermione, if you really want to practice spellcasting during the summer vacation, you can come to my house. It's Bell Brand Space Shuttle, always available, and I could make hundreds of trips a day without a problem.

Of course, this is on the premise that Hermione can withstand the frequent spatial distortions.

"Ugh~!"

Hermione puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction.

However, after staring at Bell for a while and confirming that Bell was serious and there was no room for negotiation, Hermione finally gave up.

Looks like I'll have to go to the Bell Family to practice my spellcasting.

Hmm! On closer inspection, that doesn't seem so bad?

Wait a minute! Could it be that Bell just wants to stay with him, which is why she's not allowed to use the Wand independently?

I knew it! With her current abilities, how could she not be qualified to use Wand on her own outside of school?

With a slight upturn of her lips, Hermione gave Bell a smug look.

Bell probably doesn't know that his little scheme has already been seen through.

Honestly, he's such a grown man, yet he's still clingy like a little kid. There's just no way to deal with him.

┐(`)┌

"Gege ~!"

However, before Hermione could even put her hands on her hips for a moment, a clear and melodious shout, like that of a lark, was poured over her head like a bucket of cold water.

Instantly, Hermione felt a chill run through her, her heart... seemed to sink to the bottom of the water...

Why is Shanna here?!

Hermione stared incredulously at her sister-in-law, who had pounced on her boyfriend.

Although she had indeed wondered if Shanna might be there, she successfully deceived herself until she saw her with her own eyes.

However, a lie is still a lie, and it was exposed so quickly and so unexpectedly that she almost twisted her back.

"Gege, why did you take so long?"

"Will it take a long time?"

Although he didn't look at his watch, Bell felt that it took him less than 5 minutes.

Previously, Bell had left home with Shanna. He asked his sister to wait for him here before going to Hermione's house to pick her Hermione.

"Of course it'll take a long time! It's almost fully charged."

"That's nonsense, it's still a long way from being fully charged."

Bell gently flicked his mischievous younger sister on the forehead and then put Shanna on the ground.

"Let's go in, we still need to go through some verification procedures."

After saying that, Bell walked towards the building in front of him.

This is the same building Bell visited last summer. The entrance to the Bell Family family's laboratory is located in the basement of this building.

However, today, Bell is not heading to the underground area, but rather the above-ground area.

"Etc!"

Looking at Bell walking ahead and Shanna skipping along behind Bell, Hermione discovered another blind spot.

Meeting Bell's curious gaze, Hermione asked:

"Bell, is Shanna able to use her Wand on her own outside of school?"

Bell looked at his girlfriend strangely, wondering why she would ask such an obvious question.

That's not it.

"Certainly."

Is that right?

"..."

(▼ plate▼#)

A dense array of hash symbols appeared on Hermione's forehead.

In order to better get along with her boyfriend in the future, Hermione made up her mind at this moment that she must learn from Bell's mother, Elena Aunt.

Even now, Hermione still vividly remembers the first time she saw Elena Aunt from afar.

With that agile skill, that dashing move, that powerful Curses, he knocked Bell to the ground from behind with a single blow!

"You just wait!!!"
