The More She Looked, the More Delighted She Became

Furthermore, today, the other party made a special trip to pick up their family just because of a casual remark made by their daughter. Mrs. Granger is now looking at Bell as if he were her own son.

If Hermione wanted to get rid of Bell now, Mrs. Granger would probably be the first to object.

"No!"

Just as the Granger couple were happily preparing to follow their future son-in-law to see the wizarding station they had longed to visit, their daughter Hermione unexpectedly blocked their way.

"That's against the rules; the Ministry of Magic Staff patrolling the area would spot it!"

As she spoke, Hermione glanced around furtively, afraid that the Ministry of Magic patrol officers might have overheard their conversation.

Hermione also really wanted to take her parents on a tour of Platform 9 3/4, but she was more reluctant to break the rules.

What if he gets caught and it causes some negative impact on Bell?

That's why everyone says girls are more outward-oriented. At this moment, Hermione completely forgot that compared to what Bell had already done, this little bit more really wasn't a big deal.

"Don't worry, Hermione, I've already spoken to the Ministry of Magic Staff here (using magic), so they'll turn a blind eye. After all, it's not a big deal, is it?"

Meeting the Granger couple' anxious gazes, Bell quickly offered words of comfort.

After the chaos of the Quidditch World Cup final, the Granger couple felt a mixture of curiosity and longing towards wizards and the Magical World, but also a growing fear.

If it weren't for Hermione's persistent persuasion and Bell's repeated assurances that he would protect Hermione with his life, the Granger couple wouldn't have even wanted Hermione to continue attending Hogwarts.

"Are you really okay?"

Hermione confirmed again.

"Really, don't you trust me to handle things?"

"That's precisely why I'm worried about handling things!"

Despite thinking this, Hermione obediently followed behind Bell.

"Uh, Uncle and Aunt, you don't need to be so nervous, relax. And Hermione, put your Wand away, you won't need it."

Bell helplessly comforted the Granger family behind him.

Judging from their tense appearance, they're clearly not planning anything good.

Even if the Ministry of Magic's patrol personnel's cognition was interfered with by his spell, other people who saw it would probably call the police as well.

Upon hearing this, Hermione and her family took a few deep breaths before finally behaving somewhat normally.

Soon, the four of them arrived at the wall at the entrance to Platform 9 3/4.

Hermione sensed a faint, almost imperceptible magical fluctuation emanating from Bell, enveloping her entire family.

"Watch your step and don't stop. Follow me and walk straight ahead."

After giving a final reminder, Bell disappeared into the wall.

Clenching their teeth, the Granger couple struggled to suppress their instincts and kept walking.

For a moment, everything went dark, then immediately bright again. The Granger couple looked around the bustling platform with excited smiles.

Although this platform was not much different from the ones they usually used, the wizards on the platform were exactly the same as those they had seen in Diagon Alley and at the Quidditch World Cup stadium.

However, they felt a sense of novelty and excitement.

"Uncle and Auntie, please walk this way and don't stop in the passageway."

After greeting the Granger couple, who were standing there curiously observing everything, Bell led the way towards where his family was.

"Gege, you're so slow! Lis and Lei Lei are already here, we've been waiting for you!"

From afar, Shanna waved her little hand in greeting.

Bell glanced behind Shanna and saw several more people.

Besides Phyllis and Lena, there were four other adult wizards, two men and two women, who were presumably Phyllis and Lena's parents.

After exchanging greetings and pleasantries for a while, seeing that it was almost time, Bell and the others said goodbye to their parents and boarded the Hogwarts Express.

By the way, if you want to leave Platform 9 3/4, just keep walking along that passage. The hidden mechanism is only for external access, not internal access.

Just like last year, the weather was gloomy on the first day of school at Hogwarts this year.

Shortly after the train departed, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky.

Based on the thickness of the clouds in the sky, it is estimated that there will be a lot of precipitation today.

After a hearty and delicious lunch, Bell leaned lazily against the carriage wall, watching the four girls chattering and playing around.

Whenever it's cloudy or rainy, Bell feels weak and listless. He even wishes he could drive away the rain clouds.

"By the way, Bell Gege, are you planning to participate in the Triwizard Tournament?"

Suddenly, Phyllis steered the conversation towards Bell. The little girl stared at Bell expectantly.

"Triwizard Tournament? What Triwizard Tournament?"

Before Bell could speak, Hermione asked with a curious expression.

She glanced at the other people in the carriage, and then, somewhat annoyed, realized that she seemed to be the only one who was completely confused.

"Huh!? Hermione, didn't you know? Hogwarts is holding the Triwizard Tournament again this year, the first time in hundreds of years. Do you know about the Triwizard Tournament?"

Hermione nodded, stopping Phyllis from offering a well-intentioned explanation.

She had read about the Triwizard Tournament in the book.

"But didn't the book say that the Triwizard Tournament was discontinued because it was too dangerous and caused too many deaths and injuries?"

Why is such a dangerous competition being held again?

"Bell, you absolutely mustn't go!"

Hermione looked at her boyfriend with concern, fearing that Bell might impulsively decide to participate in that Triwizard Tournament.

"Whether the competition is dangerous or not is not up to the wizards to decide. As long as the difficulty is reduced and the security measures are strengthened, it will be safe."

"Bell said lazily."

To be honest, he really admired the thought processes of those wizards in the past.

If the records he had read were correct, in the last Triwizard Tournament before it was discontinued, the Magical Animals that served as the challenges in the tournament even injured the headmasters of the three magic schools.

So, even the three principals together struggled to deal with these Magical Animals, yet they dared to assign them to students as trials?

Did you get your brain caught in a door?!

Were the students in that year's class all too strong, or were the three principals all too incompetent?

"In addition, for safety reasons, this year's Triwizard Tournament stipulates that only students aged 17 and above can participate, and my age does not meet the requirement."

Even if he were the right age, Bell wouldn't participate.

It's not that I'm afraid of danger or anything. Just kidding, even the most dangerous Magical Animals can't possibly be more dangerous than a wizard, can they?

Mainly, he doesn't like being watched by others.
