Welcome to 'Hell'

Parting the crowd, Dumbledore strode forward and called out:

"Welcome to Hogwarts, Madame Maxime."

Upon seeing Dumbledore, Madame Maxime immediately smiled elegantly and began exchanging pleasantries with Dumbledore.

After the two exchanged brief greetings, Madame Maxime led her students into the Great Hall, leaving behind a group of Little Wizard who were practically freezing to death, shedding tears of envy.

Of course, it could also be saliva. After all, it's already lunchtime.

Fortunately, the poor Little Wizard of Hogwarts didn't have to wait long before a strange sound came from the Black Lake.

The lake water surged and splashed, and the Little Wizard looked in the direction of the sound, staring at the surface of the Black Lake with puzzlement and anticipation, wondering what would happen next.

"It's Giant Squid!"

Shanna shouted excitedly, took out her Wand, and prepared to go forward to harvest a few more tentacles.

There was no way around it; the Teppanyaki Squid was just too delicious, so I accidentally ate a bit too much. Of the three tentacles I collected last time, there are only a few left.

And after a whole summer of growth, Shanna felt that the delicious Giant Squid should have recovered by now. Otherwise, it would be too useless.

As for the numerous Little Wizard and professors around them?

With her foodie spirit awakened, Shanna could no longer see those guys; all she could see was the Giant Squid about to surface!

Moreover, Shanna believed that no matter what problems arose, her Gege would handle them for her. Therefore, she only needed to focus on gathering the ingredients.

"No, no, no, that's not Giant Squid, those are Durmstrang students."

Seeing Shanna's actions, Bell quickly reached out and placed his hand on his younger sister's shoulder to stop the little girl from doing anything further.

If Shanna hadn't been able to resist throwing an Explosion Curse and killing a few of Durmstrang's men before they surfaced, things would have been much more chaotic.

Bell knew very well that his younger sister loved to throw out an Explosion Curse without thinking twice.

"By the way, Shanna, what brings you here too?"

Looking at Shanna standing beside him, and Phyllis and Lena who were always inseparable from Shanna, Bell asked in confusion.

Shouldn't the little girl be in the Slytherin formation at this time?

"I miss my Gege!"

Without hesitation, Shanna said the words Bell liked to hear most.

Of course, this was indeed the main reason why the little girl ran over, but it wasn't the only reason.

When the little snakes were besieged by the other three academies, although they were intimidated by Shanna's identity as "Bell's sister" and because she was a girl, no one squeezed next to her.

But the place is only so big. Even if Shanna wasn't targeted, it would still get crowded if a group of people came together.

Shanna, who hates crowds, didn't hesitate to run over with her two friends after seeing Hermione sneak off to her Gege's side.

Just as the Bell siblings were talking, Durmstrang's group finally completed the teleportation, and a huge wooden sailboat appeared on the surface of Black Lake.

Soon, a tall, thin, elderly wizard led a dozen Durmstrang students off the sailboat.

"Dumbledore, my old friend, how have you been lately?"

From afar, one could hear the other person's greetings.

"Yes, excellent, Professor Karkaroff."

Dumbledore as warmly.

Bell yawned boredly, hoping that Dumbledore would continue with his straightforward speaking style, quickly end the small talk, and then start the meal.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the crowd, and many Little Wizard looked excitedly and in surprise in the direction where Durmstrang and his group were.

"Bell, look! It's Krum!"

Hermione tugged at Bell's arm, expressing equal surprise.

Although she wasn't particularly obsessed with Quidditch, and certainly didn't follow celebrities, she still felt a bit excited to see a famous person in person at such close range.

"Krum? Who's that?"

Bell scratched his head in confusion.

He felt the name was somewhat familiar, but couldn't quite place where he had heard it before.

What? You're asking him why he didn't use Legilimency to search his memories?

Are you kidding me? Does Legilimency not require magic?

Besides, searching your memory is really energy-consuming, you know?

An insignificant guy who appeared out of nowhere is not worthy of Bell's wasted magic and energy.

"Gege, it's that bad guy! The one who caught the Golden Snitch during the Quidditch World Cup final!"

"Shanna said."

Unlike her older Gege, the little girl had a very strong impression of the bad guy who quickly caught the Golden Snitch, thus ending that fun Quidditch World Cup final in a short time.

You know, she was just a hair's breadth away from (though that's what she thought) experiencing the "different feeling" her Gege was talking about.

As a result, it was because of that bad guy named Krum that she failed at the last minute, and to this day, she still hasn't been able to understand what this so-called "different feeling" is.

Looking at Krum standing in front of Karkaroff, Shanna's eyes gleamed with eager anticipation.

This is truly a case of choosing the path to hell when there's a way to heaven!

Shanna wanted to teach this bad guy a lesson, but Hermione, who was equally wicked, stopped her.

I heard the Triwizard Tournament will continue until the end of the school year? That means the other team will be staying at Hogwarts for more than half a year?

Now, she wanted to see how Hermione would stop her.

Hehe, hehehehe~!

"Oh! It's him!"

Bell remembered.

So it was that guy who quickly caught the Golden Snitch and brought that interesting Quidditch World Cup final to a swift end!

Speaking of which, he was quite annoyed that such a wonderful match ended so abruptly, and he wanted to teach that guy a lesson.

Bell glanced furtively at Shanna, then subtly moved to stand between Shanna and Hermione.

My younger sister is still too young and hasn't experienced much, so she can't control her emotions well and tends to show what she's thinking on her face.

If Hermione saw the excited look on Shanna's face right now, Bell wouldn't think she'd be so naive as to believe Shanna was just a fangirl.

With Hermione's intelligence, it shouldn't be difficult for her to guess what Shanna is thinking at this moment.

That would definitely force Hermione to keep an eye on Shanna again. Shanna's plans would then be ruined.

So he did nothing, and was completely unaware that Shanna intended to teach Krum a lesson.

He is truly innocent!
