Even though she had done all that, Percy was still suspicious every day and couldn't stand the sight of her.

Penelope had also considered quitting her current job. Given her relationship with Bell and the others, she believed they wouldn't object.

However, she really loves her current job.

After becoming thoroughly familiar with her job, she not only had plenty of free time every day to relax and unwind, but also to learn magic to improve herself.

More importantly, it was only after truly experiencing those advanced magical knowledge that Penelope realized how ignorant she had been and how insignificant she was now.

So she really didn't want to give up this hard-won opportunity.

In fact, if she hadn't known that Percy would never agree, she would have tried to persuade Percy to come and work for the Menethil Family with her.

I believe that, out of consideration for her, Bell shouldn't treat Percy unfairly.

Furthermore, even setting aside her own preferences, if she were to quit her current job, where could she go?

Like Percy suggested, go work at the Ministry of Magic?

Joke!

The Penelope of today is no longer the naive little girl who, upon receiving her Hogwarts Acceptance Letter, was filled with wonderful fantasies about the Magical World.

After graduating from Hogwarts and truly entering the Magical World, the vastly different circumstances among wizards from different backgrounds made her fully realize the reality.

She knew she had no chance of working for the Ministry of Magic. She might not even be able to get a job as a shop assistant in Diagon Alley.

The most likely outcome is that he will return to Muggle society, find an ordinary job, try his best to hide the fact that he can use magic, and live a boring life day after day.

To be honest, Penelope was really tired. Faced with Percy's distrust, she didn't know how much longer she could hold on.

Perhaps this is retribution. Retribution for her hasty acceptance of Percy's feelings.

Seeing Penelope, who was always glamorous and beautiful, suddenly appear so vulnerable, not only Little Shanna, but even Hermione almost exploded!

Hermione is now considering whether she should put her plan to "release Ten Thousand Snakes to devour Percy" into action.

Although she still quite liked, and even somewhat admired Percy.

After all, Percy and handsome, but he also got a job at the Ministry of Magic, a position that most wizards couldn't get into. There was really nothing to criticize.

But!

After all, Penelope was practically her best friend. The two of them kept in frequent contact, whether it was for emotional exchange or academic consultation.

So Hermione didn't need to think at all; she stood firmly on Penelope's side!

With a barely audible "snap," Little Shanna vanished before Hermione and Penelope's horrified eyes!

Oh my god! Little Shanna Side-Along Apparition and run away!

Even if they thought about it with their heels, they both knew where Little Shanna would run off to.

The question is, why? Why was Little Shanna able to use Side-Along Apparition in the Wooden House?!

The two women looked at Bell, who was still slumped on the sofa, as if he wouldn't be able to turn over even if the world ended. Their eyes were filled with doubt and fear, almost overflowing with tears.

"Huh? Why are you all looking at me like that? I remember I made it very clear that this Wooden House is protected by Anti-Disapparition Jinx, so it's impossible to appear in the Wooden House directly through Apparition."

Bell lazily scratched his nose.

He never said that Side-Along Apparition couldn't be used inside the Wooden House. He also didn't set up Anti-Apparition Jinx. These are two separate things, okay?

As for why Shanna didn't Side-Along Apparition away and cause trouble for Percy earlier?

That's because, of course, at that time, the little girl didn't know where Percy was!

While Penelope was recounting her romantic experiences with Percy, Shanna was certainly not idle.

The little girl first expanded her Perception Domain to its maximum extent, confirming that Percy was not among the nearby crowd.

Then, she used her still-unmastered Magic Power Detection to try to locate Percy.

Because she wasn't proficient enough, Shanna had to waste a lot of magic power, probing more than ten times before she finally detected Percy's magical fluctuations.

Anyway, the Little Bear did the biting off of Percy's head, so a little extra magic power wouldn't matter to Shanna.

And then... and then it's like this now.

"..." *2

Hermione and Penelope exchanged bewildered glances upon hearing Bell's words.

Only then did they realize that they had misunderstood.

In most cases, Anti-Apparition Jinx and Anti-Disapparition Jinx are deployed together. These are common locations such as Hogwarts, the Ministry of Magic, and the Bell Family castle.

Setting up only one type of barrier is usually for the purpose of tricking people.

So, Hermione and Penelope have now been tricked by Bell...

"Bell, you big jerk!"

However, now is not the time to hold Bell accountable. The priority right now is to bring Shanna back before she causes any serious trouble.

"Get up right now!"

Hermione lunged at him, grabbed Bell's arm, and tried to run away.

Hermione was furious when she saw Bell's unpredictable behavior.

Can't you be a little more tense?!

Seeing that his girlfriend was about to bite again, Bell reluctantly stood up.

He wasn't in a hurry at all, nor was he worried that Shanna would cause any serious trouble.

Just kidding. No matter how down on their luck the Weasley family, they are still one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight British Wizarding World, and the most numerous of them all.

Even though they have been so poor that they can't afford to eat and have sold off many valuable things in recent years, their foundation in knowledge transmission will not be diminished in the slightest.

If it weren't for the Black Family's collection, even the Bell Family wouldn't be able to compare to the Weasley family.

It's worth noting that the prototype of Flying Car technology was invented by Arthur.

Therefore, with Arthur, Molly, and Percy's two Gege around, as long as Shanna doesn't go completely insane and lose her mind, nothing serious will happen in the short term.

Incidentally, the "short time" Bell refers to is measured in hours.

"Bell, why can't I track Shanna's movements?"

Compared to the anxious Hermione, Penelope, though also panicking, had not lost her composure.

How can I catch up with Shanna in the shortest amount of time?

Of course, we followed the trail left by Shanna after her Side-Along Apparition!

Shanna has already set an example for them, so why would they need to run outside?
