Little Shanna Learned Another New Skill

"Um."

Shanna nodded honestly. She never hid anything from her Gege.

"You are for..."

"What!? Shanna, you actually wanted to kill Percy!? Why!? How could you do that!?"

A sharp, piercing scream interrupted Bell's speech.

The brother and sister looked in the direction of the sound and saw Hermione staring at them with wide eyes and an incredulous expression.

"Ahem, Hermione, why don't you take your senior upstairs to rest for a while? We're going to watch the game this evening."

By the way, senior, are you watching today's final with Percy or with us?

Bell turned to look at Penelope.

After returning, Penelope sat in a corner, head down, without saying a word, seemingly lost in thought.

"Then I'll go with you."

Penelope was originally scheduled to watch the final match with Percy.

But after what happened, she now neither wants to see Percy nor knows how to face Percy.

"Snort!"

Hermione glared at Bell with displeasure, then pulled Penelope upstairs with her.

"That Bell guy, all he does is protect Shanna!"

Hermione thought jealously.

After the two figures disappeared at the top of the stairs, Bell looked at her sister again.

"Shanna, why did you want to kill Percy?"

"Because he's so annoying! He's always giving my Gege the cold shoulder!"

"Shanna said indignantly."

"But this is such a trivial matter, it shouldn't be a capital offense, right?"

"How could this be? This is an unforgivable crime!"

For Shanna, this was by no means a trivial matter. In fact, there were few sins greater than this!

Looking at Shanna's serious little face, Bell didn't know whether to be happy or helpless.

However, the only thing he was certain of was that he couldn't let Shanna continue like this.

"Shanna, you should learn to temporarily set aside your personal emotions and look at the problem objectively."

"But how do we view it objectively?"

Shanna tilted her head in confusion.

She would look at it from above, below, left, and right; she would look at it upright and upside down... In short, she never looked at it objectively.

"Uh... this 'objective' thing... well... how should I put it?"

Bell was stumped by the question.

How should I put this?

"Oh, right!"

Suddenly, Bell had a brilliant idea.

As the saying goes, when in doubt about domestic matters, consult a hundred... cough cough! It's more like, when in doubt, consult magic!

Since we don't know how to explain it using language, let's just use magic and let Shanna experience it for herself.

"Shanna, try using Occlumency to temporarily shut down all your emotions, and then try to think about Percy."

Shanna looked at her Gege with a puzzled expression, wondering why Gege would make such a strange request.

Despite her confusion, Shanna activated the Occlumency without hesitation.

The little girl closed her eyes, her eyelids trembling slightly.

A moment later, Shanna slowly opened her eyes.

At this moment, Shanna's face was as cold as ice, her eyes were empty, and she was like a delicate porcelain doll, lifeless and inexplicably giving people a sense of terror.

Seeing this, Bell raised his right hand, hooked his middle finger between his thumb, and snapped it hard.

With a "snap, "Shanna's head was thrown back, and the Occlumency that was working at full speed in her mind was immediately interrupted.

"Gege ~"

(><)

With her two little hands covering her forehead, Shanna looked pitifully at her Gege.

To ensure that Shanna was in that merciless state, Bell used considerable force. The little girl even had a red mark on her forehead from being bounced out.

"Don't cry, sweetie. Gege rub it for you."

Bell tenderly placed his finger on Shanna's forehead, and a bright green light appeared at his fingertip, quickly fading the redness and swelling on Shanna's forehead.

In fact, for such a minor bump that doesn't even qualify as a scratch, Shanna only needs to focus her magic on her forehead, and it will heal in a few seconds.

But she wouldn't waste such a rare opportunity.

After gently massaging his younger sister with his fingers for a while, Bell, feeling it was enough, put his hands down and asked Shanna:

"So? Do you still think Percy is unforgivable?"

"..."

Shanna really wanted to nod. However, in that powerful state of "objectivity" she had been in before, she genuinely felt that what Percy had done before didn't seem like such a big deal.

Bell clearly noticed his younger sister's dilemma, and he smiled as he placed his hand on Shanna's little head and rubbed it hard twice.

"Remember that feeling from before, and try to think from an objective perspective when you encounter problems in the future."

However, unless absolutely necessary, try to avoid entering that state of detachment and apathy. Especially avoid entering that state when you are alone.

Constantly suppressing one's emotions can very likely completely change a person's temperament.

This is one of the reasons why many wizards are wary of Curses that involve mental energy.

"Also, Shanna, remember this well. If anyone tries to hurt you, don't hesitate, kill him!"

No matter who it is or what their reasons are, Bell will not allow anyone who intends to harm her sister to continue living in this world!

"Um!"

Time flew by amidst laughter and play, and soon the sunlight outside the window dimmed.

The wizards emerged from their tents, excitedly discussing as they made their way to the Quidditch World Cup stadium.

Every now and then, a commotion would break out in the crowd, and several dazzling lights would flash by in an instant. Afterward, several wizards would appear on the ground, some stiff and unable to move, others fast asleep and impossible to wake.

Needless to say, these are supporters of the Scotland National Team, engaging in friendly exchanges with Bulgaria Team fans.

Fortunately, in order for today's competition to proceed smoothly, the British Ministry of Magic mobilized all available Auror and even borrowed some personnel from the Ministry of Magic in several other Europe countries.

Therefore, before the riots escalate, several skilled Auror Apparition will appear.

The more shrewd troublemakers would run away immediately after beating up the opposing fans. The more reckless ones, eager to show off their prowess, were generally handcuffed by the Auror.

But don't get the wrong idea, the Auror won't do anything to these wizards. At most, they'll fine them a little to generate revenue for the Ministry of Magic and also to make some extra money for themselves.

After all, the Auror have been exhausted these past few days, so it's perfectly normal for them to earn some extra allowance.

As for why these troublemaking wizards aren't severely punished?

That's simply impossible!

Putting aside the fact that these wizards come from various countries, just negotiating with the Ministry of Magic of other countries would be enough to exhaust a large number of people.

In other words, if the Auror dare to imprison these wizards, preventing them from seeing the final match, then these Auror can forget about sleeping peacefully from now on. They should be prepared to face constant pursuit and killing for the rest of their lives.

God knows what outrageous things these fanatical Quidditch fans might do in their extreme grief and anger.
