You Must Not Talk While Eating

As the saying goes, good deeds are rewarded.

Therefore, just as "good guy" Bell was in a dilemma, an old voice, like heavenly music, entered Bell's ears.

"Mr. Menethil! I've said this countless times! Please return to your own college for your meal! Don't disrupt the dining order of other colleges!"

Standing not far behind Bell, Professor McGonagall stared intently at Bell with sharp eyes. Her gaze was like that of a cat eyeing a mouse.

"Where is Miss Clearwater!? Miss Clearwater! Please hurry and fulfill your duty to bring Mr. Menethil from your house back to Ravenclaw! Miss Clearwater!?"

"Ahem, Professor, Penelope has already graduated."

Seeing Professor McGonagall standing there shouting and yelling, Bell realized that the old professor was indeed getting old and her memory was declining significantly, so she kindly reminded her.

"..."

Professor McGonagall was stunned.

Miss Penelope Clearwater graduated? How could she graduate?!

Miss Clearwater has graduated, so who's going to take care of that damned brat Menethil now? Are we going to make her do it herself? She's already so old!

Moreover, as the Vice-Headmaster of Hogwarts, she is usually extremely busy and has no time to waste on that brat Menethil.

So what should she do?

Seeing Professor McGonagall standing there blankly, looking like she was struggling with something, Bell resolutely stood up.

"Professor! You don't need to say anything more, I'll go back right now!"

As a fourth-grade student, Bell said that he is no longer a second or third-grader; he has grown up!

As a big kid, he should understand and appreciate the professors' good intentions, especially older professors like Professor McGonagall, who need his understanding even more!

Although Hogwarts ' School Rules do not stipulate that students must eat at their own house, Bell is not the only one in the Great Hall who has gone to eat at other houses' tables.

But since Professor McGonagall only found him, the old professor must have her reasons! Any talk of disliking him is just slander against Professor McGonagall! It might even be a rumor spread by Professor Trelawney.

Anyway, as a considerate student of the professor, Bell resolutely obeyed the professor's orders!

"Gabrielle, you stay here and play with the older girls. I'll talk to your sister. Have fun."

After giving a brief instruction to Gabrielle, who was squeezed between the three of them (Shanna and the others), Bell returned to the Ravenclaw table without looking back.

"..."

Professor McGonagall was stunned as she watched Bell's departing figure.

The sun didn't rise in the west today, did it? Why is Menethil suddenly so obedient?

So here's the question: Is it possible for Bell Menethil to become obedient?

Professor McGonagall couldn't help but ask herself the same question.

Then, in less than a second, the old professor had already arrived at the answer.

Impossible!

Therefore, after eliminating all impossible options, what remains must be the correct answer.

There's a conspiracy!

If we're talking about the most important thing right now, it's undoubtedly the Triwizard Selection tomorrow.

Professor McGonagall decided that after the dinner party, she would go back and think carefully about what kind of schemes the other party might be plotting.

Little did Belle know that her rare act of being a good boy had kept Professor McGonagall awake all night with trepidation, Bell returned to her seat with cheerful steps.

Compared to Hermione's "Death Gaze," her own sister's meals were of course much more important.

If Hermione wants to glare at him, then let her glare at him. Anyway, he hasn't done anything wrong, and he has nothing to fear.

Of course, if Bell could keep his girlfriend in a good mood, he wouldn't intentionally provoke Hermione.

Therefore, Bell was even happier when he returned to his previous seat and found that Phoebe was no longer there.

As for where Phoebe went, that was none of Bell's concern. If it weren't for Little Gabrielle's sake, he wouldn't have bothered with her at all.

... At most, it's only because the other person is pretty, just a tiny bit!

However, perhaps even God couldn't stand Bell's shamelessness anymore, because a short while later, Phoebe came over carrying a large basin.

"Where's Gabrielle? Where did you put my sister? And why is there so much food here again?!"

Seeing Bell sitting at the table, engrossed in eating, Phoebe was now certain: ' The House-elf of Hogwarts are bullying newcomers!'

When she got back, she would tell Madame Maxime about this and make sure they got justice!

However, Madame Maxime is currently talking to Professor Dumbledore of Hogwarts, so she has no way to complain for the time being.

So let's put this matter aside for now. There's another, more important thing waiting for her to figure out.

Where did Gabrielle go?!

Bell turned his head and looked at Phoebe with displeasure.

Is this guy some kind of persistent ghost? How did he end up here again?

Although the other person was quite pleasing to the eye, Bell didn't actually mind having her nearby. But couldn't she have chosen a time when Hermione wasn't around? Did she even realize how unbearable Hermione's "Death Gaze" was?!

Okay, without needing Phoebe's answer, Bell knows that the other party definitely doesn't know.

"..."

(￣~￣)

"Say something! Where did you put my sister?!"

(￣~￣)...(*⊙~⊙)!

Bell grabbed a glass of orange juice from the table and gulped it down in one go.

"Honestly, it's all your fault for rushing me. I almost choked. Don't you know you shouldn't talk while eating? You should have waited until I swallowed!"

Bell complained unhappily.

"..."

This time, it was Phoebe's turn to remain silent.

At that moment, young Phoebe realized for the first time that there was a reason why the France disliked the Britain!

If she weren't holding something in both hands, she would have strangled the other person.

"So where exactly is Gabrielle?!"

In order to find out where her sister was, Phoebe decided to endure the humiliation for the time being and let Bell live a few more seconds.

"Gabrielle is with my sister. I saw they were having a good time, so I left her there. Don't worry, Gabrielle is perfectly safe with my sister there."

Bell pointed in the direction where Shanna was. From there, you could clearly see several little girls chatting happily about something.

Following the direction Bell pointed, Phoebe finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Gabrielle was safe and sound.

She took a few steps forward, preparing to sit back down in her chair and continue her dinner.

Although the House-elf at Hogwarts may not be the best in character, their skills are truly unparalleled.
