The Unfun Fire Dragon
When Bell unexpectedly saw Luna heading to the competition venue alone, Bell extended an invitation to her.
Although a formal contract hasn't been signed yet, Luna can already be considered half one of their own. Given Bell's protective nature, he can't stand seeing his own people suffer.
"Bell Senior, are you two-timing?"
On the way to the arena, Luna, who had been eavesdropping on Shanna and the others' conversation for a while, suddenly asked Bell a question.
"Ha!?"
Bell stumbled and almost fell flat on his face.
"That little girl said you're her brother-in-law, but she wasn't speaking English, and judging by her appearance, she shouldn't be Hermione's sister, right? So..."
Luna looked at Bell with her signature listless eyes, the meaning of which was self-evident.
"Ahem! Children say the darndest things, it's just kids talking casually, don't take it seriously."
Bell almost forgot that Luna was a natural Legilimency master; she didn't need Shanna's help to know what Gabrielle was saying.
"Oh~"
It was unclear whether Luna believed it or not; after a simple response, the girl listened attentively to Shanna and the others' conversation once again.
"..."
Feeling that his reputation had been unfairly damaged, Bell really wanted to know what Luna meant by saying "Oh".
However, fearing that explaining it would only make things worse, he hesitated for a moment and then kept the question to himself.
Fortunately, Gabrielle's English wasn't good, otherwise his name would probably have resounded throughout Hogwarts once again.
After finding a relatively quiet spot in the arena, Shanna, as usual, carried out a series of adjustments and renovations.
With a gasp from Little Gabrielle, the group settled comfortably on the sofa, surrounded by a variety of food and drinks, readily available for them to enjoy.
Praise the magic!
After taking a sip of cola, Bell let out a comfortable sigh of relief.
The competition officially began shortly afterward.
When the staff carried a Swedish Short-Snout to the center of the arena, the Little Wizard in the stands all let out suppressed gasps of surprise.
"Gege! It's Fire Dragon! It's Fire Dragon!"
Shanna only found out now that the first match was actually against a Fire Dragon!
Because Slytherin dormitories are located beneath the Black Lake, and Shanna's senses aren't as acute as Bell's, she hasn't been disturbed by the Fire Dragon's roars while sleeping at night recently. Therefore, she's unaware of the Fire Dragon's existence.
This is also one of the main reasons why Bell didn't make those Fire Dragon.
He could tolerate it if he casually set up a barrier. But if anyone dared to disturb his younger sister's rest, he wouldn't stand for it.
"Gege, I want to play with the Fire Dragon too!"
At this moment, Shanna regretted not participating in the Triwizard Tournament.
If she had known it would be this fun, she would have definitely gotten a spot in the Champion competition to try it out.
What? You're saying she's not old enough?
Shanna knew, of course, that she was too old, but she wasn't worried about it at all.
You know, she's not one of those Little Wizard you see everywhere at Hogwarts; she has Gege!
Shanna firmly believed that her Gege would solve all her problems!
Seeing Shanna's eagerness, as if she couldn't wait to jump into the arena, Bell quickly reached out and held the little girl's shoulder.
He was well aware of how capable his younger sister was.
"Shanna, take a closer look. Doesn't that Fire Dragon look sickly?"
Bell pointed to the Swedish Short-Snout in the field and said.
"Huh? It really does seem so!"
How could those people be so despicable? Mr. Fire Dragon is already sick, and they still force him to work!
Are they unscrupulous entrepreneurs?
Besides, wouldn't that be no fun?
Kind-hearted Little Shanna spoke up for the poor Fire Dragon.
Although she had never played with Fire Dragon.
Mom and Dad disagreed with keeping the Fire Dragon in the castle at home.
Even so, she had no interest in playing with a sick Fire Dragon.
That's not challenging at all!
"No, the Fire Dragon is not sick."
Actually, to reduce the difficulty of the competition and ensure the safety of the participating Champion, these Fire Dragon were fed a special Potions before the competition to weaken their various stats.
Bell corrected her sister's misconception.
"Ugh~!"
Whatever the reason, the point is, these fun Fire Dragon have become boring. Shanna is very unhappy about this.
Seeing that his younger sister was unhappy, Bell certainly couldn't just turn a blind eye.
His eyes darted around, and a good idea popped into his head.
"Shanna, it seems like it's been a long time since we've had Fire Dragon meat, hasn't it?"
Staring at the Fire Dragon in the center of the arena, a glint of light flashed in Bell's eyes.
"!?"
Upon hearing her Gege's words, Shanna immediately perked up.
As expected of her own Gege, she never expected this!
"It really has been a long time since I've had it, several months, hasn't it?"
With the same gaze and the same expression, Shanna stared at the Fire Dragon in the arena, and a familiar glint of light flashed in her eyes.
"An extra meal tonight?"
"Okay!"
n(*≧▽≦*)n
"Yay!" *2
The brother and sister gave each other a high five in perfect unison, everything understood without a word.
"No!!!"
However, the brother and sister, focused only on food, forgot that there was another person in the room who held the power of life and death.
Hermione gritted her teeth, her eyes fixed intently on Bell's face without blinking.
"You are not allowed to touch those Fire Dragon!"
"Ahem! Hermione, remember those Dragon Meat? They were so delicious!"
Bell tried to seduce his girlfriend into prostitution.
"... That won't do either!"
Wiping away the 'tears' from the corner of her mouth, Hermione jolted awake, snapping out of her past memories.
"That was close! I almost got infected!"
"Bell, if you dare eat those Fire Dragon, I... I'll tell Professor McGonagall!"
Of course, she would go after she finished eating.
Don't get me wrong, the reason she went back after eating wasn't because the Dragon Meat smelled so good that she couldn't resist the temptation. She's not that kind of person, really!
She actually wanted to share the punishment with Bell!
As Bell's girlfriend, she should share his joys and sorrows. She couldn't possibly stand by and watch Bell be punished alone.
"Uh... okay then."
Bell reluctantly conceded.
It wasn't that he was really afraid Hermione would complain to Professor McGonagall.
Just kidding, once you eat his steamed buns, you can forget about stepping out the door!
You'll be so full you won't be able to walk!
It was mainly thanks to Hermione's reminder that Bell's eyes, which had been blinded by the delicious food, were able to regain their Seimei.
