Anxious Boys and Girls

Laughter and cheers filled the Hogwarts castle.

Children can always find joy in the smallest things that adults can't understand.

Some call this childlike innocence, while others see it as naivety.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but Bell has a feeling that Harry seems to be spending a lot of time with his girlfriend lately.

Under Bell's subtle prompting... well, actually Hermione took the initiative to approach him.

It turns out that Harry had a crush on a fifth-year student named Cho Chang from Ravenclaw.

Since Hermione often came to Ravenclaw to see Bell, Harry, after much deliberation, finally mustered up the courage to ask Hermione if she knew anything about Cho Chang.

Hermione, of course... doesn't know.

Aside from Bell, Hermione only knew Penelope and Luna at Ravenclaw.

Oh, right, Penelope has already graduated, which means that Luna is now her only acquaintance.

As for the others?

Not everyone has the guts to get close to the "Demon King's" girlfriend.

Therefore, at Harry's request, Hermione asked Bell about the senior student named Cho Chang when she came to see Bell.

By the way, let's test Bell's attitude!

Ahem, Hermione wouldn't tell anyone that this was her main purpose.

There's no way around it; a girl who could make the legendary "The Chosen One" Harry completely infatuated must be extremely beautiful and outstanding.

In addition, the other party was in the same college as her boyfriend, which gave her a significant advantage.

This left Hermione no choice but to be on her guard!

"Cho Chang?"

Bell was filled with questions. Did their college even have such a person?

How could he not know?

Well, as for his classmates, Bell can recognize most of their faces. After all, once they've met, Bell can use Legilimency to search for them in his mind.

But as for his name... to be honest, he still hasn't memorized all of his roommates' names.

Hermione rolled her eyes at her boyfriend, seriously suspecting that Bell was pretending to be stupid.

So she looked at Luna across the table.

"Luna, do you know Cho Chang? She should be a fifth-year student at Ravenclaw."

"I know, it's over there."

Which one?

Bell looked around curiously.

Although he is a man, that doesn't stop him from having a gossipy soul.

He simply wasn't interested in the gossip of ordinary people.

But Harry is no ordinary person. You see, he has a pact with Sirius to protect Harry's safety at Hogwarts.

As a responsible and trustworthy young man, Bell naturally had to vet Harry's choices.

What if Cho Chang was actually sent by the Death Eater to seduce Harry?

(ω)

"It's the one with the black hair... hahaha, black hair, hahaha..."

Watching Luna act crazy every day and then suddenly start laughing out loud, Bell couldn't even muster the desire to make a comment.

Whether it's due to her own talent or not, Luna's sense of humor is always peculiar, and she has a particular fondness for corny jokes.

"Oh, so it's her."

Bell pursed his lips, his gossipy nature satisfied, but he felt a sense of boredom.

To be honest, although he didn't remember the other person's name, Bell had a pretty deep impression of Cho Chang.

Of course, it wasn't because he coveted the other person's good looks, as Hermione suspected. It was because the other person was a rare person of Chinese descent.

As the only "fellow countryman" at Hogwarts, the Britain magic school, Bell couldn't help but stare at him several times with great curiosity when they first met.

The most profound impression the other person left on Bell was... she was a pretty ordinary girl.

He was quite ordinary in terms of appearance, physique, talent, and academic performance.

"Huh!? Isn't that Ravenclaw's Seeker?"

Hermione covered her mouth in surprise.

Harry was too nervous and shy before, so he didn't even explain these most basic details to Hermione.

She stole a glance at Bell. Knowing Hermione as Bell did, she figured he might like athletic girls like him?

After all, Bell engages in extremely high-intensity exercise every day, and Bell also seems to enjoy Quidditch.

Unaware of his girlfriend's inner turmoil, Bell had lost all interest in such matters.

He slumped in his chair, leisurely enjoying dessert after the meal.

It's just Seeker, what's the big deal?

If it weren't for Ravenclaw's traditional female dominance and the fact that the Little Eagle prefer quiet reading to sports like Quidditch, Cho Chang, with his talent, wouldn't have been able to Seeker if he were from one of the other three houses.

"Bell, what do you think of Cho Chang, the senior student?"

Looking at her boyfriend's lazy appearance with suspicion, although it seemed no different from usual, Hermione found it increasingly suspicious at this moment.

She strongly suspected that Bell was deliberately hiding something.

"How can you look at it? How else can you look at it? Standing, sitting, or lying down."

"Watch it while lying down!?"

Bell gave his girlfriend a strange look and touched her forehead.

She didn't have a fever.

So what's wrong with Hermione today? She seems really strange.

Hermione slapped Bell's hand away, glared at Bell fiercely, and demanded:

"Tell me! How... how did you watch this while lying down?!"

"..."

Bell was speechless.

He just said it casually; he's never actually seen it lying down.

Seeing Hermione acting so unreasonably, Bell couldn't help but think... how cute!

He pulled Hermione into a tight embrace, Bell his cheek on Hermione's head, and rubbed it against her head.

"Let go, let go now!"

Hermione struggled free from Bell's embrace, her face flushed as she straightened her hair and clothes.

Honestly! That guy Bell, he doesn't even know when to look at the situation before he starts getting physical!

Bathed in the murderous gazes of everyone around her, Hermione was so ashamed she wished she could disappear into the ground.

After Hermione became too embarrassed to bother him anymore, Bell finally had some free time and looked toward the Gryffindor table.

There, Harry was staring intently in their direction.

"Speaking of which, could Harry's so-called liking for Cho Chang just be a smokescreen? His real purpose is simply to get closer to Hermione?"

Rubbing his chin, Bell felt that he might not be able to figure out the truth.

It seems that besides Ron and Neville, he will also have to be wary of Harry from now on.

Seriously, what's wrong with these three brats?! Even the closest relationships have their limits, you know!

"I wonder how Hermione's investigation is going? Why is she getting all intimate with Bell? Has she forgotten about our important business?"

Harry stared anxiously at Hermione's retreating figure.
