Bell's Dilemma

"Little girl, what's your name?"

At the Slytherin dining table, a Durmstrang student, A, was sitting next to Shanna, asking her questions solicitously.

After saying that, he flashed what he thought was a handsome smile, completely unaware that the Slytherin snakes around him were staring at him with eyes that looked like they were looking at a dead man.

"Little sister, why aren't you saying anything? Don't you understand me? I think my English is pretty good, right?"

Student A continued to relentlessly strike up a conversation.

Although Shanna is still young, she has been using Magic Power Enhanced Body for many years, which has made her physical development faster than that of her peers.

Even Hermione wasn't as tall as Shanna is now. So, people who don't know the situation could easily mistake Shanna for an older student.

Shanna slowly forked a piece of meat and put it in her mouth, chewing it slowly. She was very conflicted.

To be honest, she really wanted to slap the fly next to her to death.

But after being reprimanded by her Gege during summer vacation, she is now very cautious about her murderous intent.

Judging from the current situation, the fly next to her did not seem to have any intention of harming her, so it did not fit the situation her Gege described where he could unconditionally kill the fly.

"But this guy is so annoying! I can't concentrate on my meal!"

Shanna glanced at Phyllis and Lena sitting on her other side and wondered if she should secretly take care of the fly and then pin the blame on her two best friends.

No! That would still go against my Gege's instructions!

Young and naive Little Shanna at this point had no idea that she could teach the other person a lesson and make them back down.

In her view, what is the so-called lesson? It is simply to teach the other person a lesson.

As for where the little girl got this idea... well, Bell says he's confused too.

"Little sister..."

Just as student A continued his reckless descent into madness, a hand suddenly landed on his shoulder.

Student A turned around unhappily, wanting to see who dared to disturb his attempt to pick up girls!

"Excuse me, could you please move to another seat?"

As a human being in a civilized society, Bell always prefers to use diplomacy first before resorting to force.

After all, who hasn't been young and ignorant? No matter what, we should give the other person a chance to repent and start anew.

"Huh? Who are you? Why should I switch seats with you?"

"Student A said unhappily."

If this weren't Hogwarts, he would have taught the other person a lesson right away.

Just kidding, who is he? He's a household name in Durmstrang...

"Hey! Isn't this Anthony? I've admired you for so long! Come over here, let's have a good chat!"

A Slytherin snake suddenly ran over and enthusiastically grabbed Student A.

After saying that, he didn't care about the student's reaction, and forcefully pulled the student up and walked away into the distance.

"Huh!? No, I'm not Anthony, my name is Ray..."

"It's alright, I know. Let's go over there and have a good chat. I'm incredibly curious about Durmstrang!"

Of course he knew the other person's name wasn't Anthony; after all, Anthony was just a name he'd made up.

As for what the other person's name is?

He had absolutely no interest in learning about it.

The main reason he ran over was not only to avoid getting splattered with blood and ruining his appetite, but also because he hoped to gain favor with the Menethil Family through this action.

Of course, he also knew that it was hard to say how much of an impact such a small matter would have.

But it's just a small favor, and even if it only leaves a slight impression, it's still a great deal.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, a warm feeling washed over Bell's heart.

Look! Come and see! Who said the little snakes are cold-blooded?

In Slytherin House, Bell only felt endless warmth. Every time he came here, it felt like coming home.

So he really should belong to Slytherin House!

It's all that faulty Sorting Hat's fault for sorting him into Ravenclaw.

That's absolutely outrageous!

"Gege! Did you come to play with me?"

Shanna looked at her Gege happily, instantly forgetting all her previous unhappiness.

"Yes. And I didn't come alone, look who I met."

As he spoke, Bell stepped aside, revealing Gabrielle, who was hiding behind him, to Shanna.

"Oh dear! Brother-in-law! Why did you suddenly run away! I wanted to give Sister Shanna a surprise."

Gabrielle pouted in dissatisfaction.

"It's little Gabrielle!"

Shanna was quite impressed with this cute little sister who wanted to be her sister.

And like her Gege, Shanna also really likes the quirky Gabrielle.

Sitting to one side, Bell watched happily as Shanna introduced Gabrielle to her two friends.

Under the spell of her charm, Phyllis and Lena immediately took a liking to Gabrielle. The four girls—one little and three older—quickly became friends, chatting and laughing together.

"It's true! The food here really is even better than what my brother-in-law said, even than in Ravenclaw! Why is that?"

After taking a bite of the food Shanna gave her, Gabrielle's small eyes widened in surprise.

She thought her brother-in-law was just saying it casually. But it turns out, although the difference wasn't huge, the food in Slytherin really was better than in Ravenclaw!

Why? Could it be that the Slytherin students paid more money?

"Huh? Is the food here better than in Ravenclaw?"

Surprisingly, Shanna also looked puzzled.

She often ate with her Gege in Ravenclaw, and even occasionally went to the Gryffindor table, but she never thought that Slytherin food was better.

Shouldn't the food served in all four houses of Hogwarts be the same?

Shanna cast a questioning look at her Gege.

"..."

Bell, relieved that Hermione's Death Gaze had lessened considerably, and was happily enjoying his dinner again, paused once more.

He forgot to tell Gabrielle not to tell Shanna about the taste of the food.

Why was his dinner tonight so difficult? All sorts of random things happened, making him almost lose his appetite.

"Gege, what exactly happened?"

Seeing that her Gege was silent, Shanna couldn't help but ask.

"This... this..."

Bell was very conflicted.

So how should he answer?

He can't lie... No! How could he deceive his own sister!

But to be honest, Shanna definitely won't allow him to do that again.

In that case, Shanna wouldn't be able to eat the best food!
