Nothing else happened that night after the Dark Mark incident.

Perhaps even the group of troublemakers were frightened by the Dark Mark that suddenly appeared in the sky?

"My God! Someone actually dared to destroy the Dark Mark?!"

In short, amidst the exasperation of many Ministry of Magic Official, this ordinary yet memorable night finally came to an end.

Bathed in the warm and gentle morning sun, Bell let out a long sigh of relief, as if to expel all the unhappiness and frustration in his heart.

Bell had no interest in knowing the aftermath of those events. That was his father's business.

As a student at Hogwarts, Bell's primary task is to study! And play... cough cough, that's called a balance between work and rest.

So, during the last few days of summer vacation, Bell didn't go anywhere. Apart from his daily routine of picking Hermione up and dropping her off, he just stayed home all day, reading books and researching magic.

Then Bell was horrified to discover that his terminal illness (being a homebody) seemed to be recurring!

What to do! What to do!?

Well, since it was said to be a terminal illness, Bell decided to give up after discovering that even magic couldn't cure him.

Whatever.

Ahem! Let's get back to the main topic.

According to the principles of relativity, moments of happiness are always fleeting. Therefore, in Bell's perception, he only blinked a few times, and then it was time for school to start again!

On the morning of September 1st.

Today, the Bell family left home early and used Floo Powder to get to Platform 9 3/4.

The reason he came out early was because of something Bell heard from his girlfriend yesterday.

Alone, Bell's figure appeared in King's Cross Station as he crossed the platform.

Bell glanced at the approaching Ministry of Magic Staff, then snapped his fingers lightly. A subtle magical fluctuation emanated from Bell's fingertips, slightly interfering with the other party's perception.

Strictly speaking, his next actions were against the rules. So, to avoid trouble later, he decided to do some preparatory work first.

Bell nodded in satisfaction as he watched the Ministry of Magic Staff turn and leave.

It must be said that the power of China Cultivation Method is indeed formidable. If it were him before he Cultivation Method, he wouldn't have been able to so easily interfere with the cognition of an adult wizard Wandless Magic.

Incidentally, Bell practiced the most common general-purpose Cultivation Method and did not choose to practice Sword Cultivator Cultivation Method such as the "Ten Thousand Swords Technique".

Sword Cultivator ' Cultivation Method fundamentally alter the nature of the magic power within the body, imbuing it with the characteristic of 'sharpness'.

While this increases the destructive power of magic, it also diminishes its creativity. For Bell, who doesn't intend to become Sword Immortal, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

In a way, the path of Sword Cultivator is somewhat similar to that of Onmyoji, both simply pursuing destructive power.

However, considering that throughout the dynasties of ancient China, there were always invasions from neighboring barbarian tribes, it seems quite normal that Cultivator frequently fought against barbarian shamans would have devised such a method.

He took out his Personal Terminal and glanced at the time. It would be a while before Hermione's family arrived, so Bell leisurely began to observe King's Cross Station.

Come to think of it, his previous visits were all rushed, and he never really looked around properly.

Built decades ago, King's Cross Station now shows signs of decay after years of use.

Of course, it could also be described as the weight of history?

However, the peeling paint, the slightly outdated equipment, and the open-air platform have not affected the status of King's Cross Station.

The bustling crowds and the incessant honking of horns made Bell feel... somewhat uncomfortable...

Especially since today is the first day of school at Hogwarts, Little Wizard come here every now and then and enter Platform 9 3/4.

This meant that Bell, who had been standing dumbfounded by the passageway, would be met with curious stares every now and then.

Some timid Little Wizard even mistook Bell for Muggle and stood there staring intently at Bell, too afraid to go in.

Left with no other choice, Bell had to reveal a section of his Wand to show his wizard identity, which finally allowed those guys, whose eyes were practically bloodshot, to breathe a sigh of relief and continue on their way.

Bell had considered waiting in a different place, but with so many people coming and going, he was afraid that if he lost focus, he would miss Hermione and her family.

Although the possibility is small, you never know what might happen.

Finally, after Bell waited with agonizing anticipation, Hermione and her family appeared before Bell.

"Bell? What are you doing here all alone? Where are your aunt, uncle, and Shanna?"

Hermione looked at Bell, who was all alone, with a puzzled expression.

"They're waiting on the platform. I came out specifically to pick you and your aunt and uncle."

After respectfully greeting Hermione's parents, Bell explained.

Hearing that Bell had come out specifically to pick her up, Hermione's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sweet smile.

But then she noticed a blind spot in Bell's words.

"Wait! You said you're here to pick me up, and my parents?"

"Yes."

Bell nodded, indicating that Hermione hadn't misheard.

"I heard you say yesterday that your aunt and uncle have always wanted to go into Platform 9 3/4 to see what the wizard's platform and trains look like. So I decided to take them in for a tour."

Although Bell didn't find the so-called wizard's platform and train anything special.

However, since his future father-in-law and mother-in-law wanted to see, he, as the prospective son-in-law, had to satisfy their curiosity, right?

Furthermore, for the sake of his own reputation, Bell felt it was necessary to emphasize this point.

As a British Wizards has inherited the fine China tradition of respecting the elderly and caring for the young, his actions were truly out of respect for his elders and had absolutely no intention of currying favor!

"Really? Bell, can we really go in and take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Granger looked at Bell with delight... no! Her future son-in-law!

Mrs. Granger was already quite satisfied with Bell. He was tall and handsome, well-mannered, from a distinguished family, and most importantly, he treated her daughter very well!

Now, we must add the requirement of respecting elders.

When Mrs. Granger watched that Quidditch World Cup before, she had inquired about it at the stadium. Full-price tickets for the Quidditch World Cup are very expensive. Moreover, they're practically unavailable; many people want to buy them but can't.

And without hesitation, Bell proactively got three of these precious unanimous votes for the family; not everyone is so generous.

Even her own husband, who had always disliked Bell, stopped speaking ill of Bell after getting the tickets.

Although I still say it occasionally.
