Not only Bell, but even Bell's sister, that exceptionally talented little girl who is also very skilled in Transfiguration, should belong to Gryffindor!

It is common knowledge that family members should belong to the same house, like Weasley, who practically turned Gryffindor House into his own home.

Therefore, as Bell's sister, Shanna should belong to Gryffindor just like her Gege!

This proves that the Sorting Hat has indeed developed dementia and needs to have its brain, which may or may not even exist, properly exercised!

What? You mean the Patil twins belong to Gryffindor and Ravenclaw respectively?

Well... they're India, so their situation might be a bit different from that in the Britain? Therefore, they're not comparable.

What? You mean Bell's parents...?

I won't listen! I won't listen! I won't listen!

In short, since the siblings are so good at using Transfiguration, they should be Gryffindor!

At this moment, the old professor, who was watching with great interest, had long since forgotten about his idea of stopping Bell.

This looks even more exciting than Quidditch Match!

Moreover, although Professor McGonagall didn't know what Dumbledore was up to again, judging from his previous attempts to stop her, it was clear that the current situation was what Dumbledore wanted to see.

So, although she didn't really approve of the other party always messing around like this, how could she, a vice principal, do anything to a principal?

Seeing that Professor McGonagall had given up on stopping Bell and the others, Dumbledore and watched the battle on the snow with equal composure.

This is a good opportunity to observe Bell's strength.

Although he hasn't figured out a way to reform Bell yet, the main reason is that this kid is not as easily fooled as other kids his age.

But that didn't stop him from getting a detailed understanding of the other party first.

It's always better to be prepared.

and...

Dumbledore glanced discreetly to his side, where Karkaroff was staring dumbfounded out the window.

Having witnessed the strength Bell displayed, the other party should finally abandon any ulterior motives they might have.

Although Karkaroff wasn't yet worthy of his attention, he had a very important plan to implement this year through the Triwizard Tournament.

He certainly didn't want anyone to cause trouble for him at this crucial moment.

If the plan falls apart at the last minute because of Karkaroff, he might really be so angry that he'd want to kill someone!

Especially since the other party was a former Death Eater.

Originally, he planned to use more words, employing subtle language that the other party could understand, to properly threaten Karkaroff.

This is not an easy task.

There was nothing he could do; Karkaroff was just too stupid. Aside from his occasional underhanded tricks, Dumbledore seriously suspected that Karkaroff's intelligence might not even be as good as Hagrid's.

Now that he's seen the battle unfold, he shouldn't need to go through the trouble of "persuading" Karkaroff anymore.

"But seriously, isn't Bell's strength a bit too much? What did he eat to grow up like that?"

Although Dumbledore had never underestimated Bell, the strength Bell was currently displaying still surprised him somewhat.

Judging from this, even if he personally takes action, it will take him quite a bit of effort to take down Bell.

As Bell concluded with his final move, "Sky Burial," Dumbledore seemed lost in thought, Professor McGonagall was still unsatisfied, and Karkaroff nearly collapsed to the ground.

Of course, Karkaroff may be a bit weak, but he's not so bad as to miss the fact that Bell's move was all show and no substance.

But the problem is, that kid single-handedly changed the weather in a large area around him!

Karkaroff asked himself, even if he exhausted all his magic, he was not confident that he could do it.

The figure still floating in mid-air in the distance didn't look like it had run out of magic power at all.

Not to mention, the opponent had fought for more than twenty minutes before unleashing this final move.

So, after lying low for over a decade, Karkaroff finally understood at this moment.

We mustn't lose our culinary skills!

He should just go back to hiding!

Thinking of this, Karkaroff didn't even bother to say goodbye to Dumbledore beside him, and slunk away alone.

He didn't want to talk to Dumbledore cunning old man who was even more treacherous than himself.

Where on earth did Dumbledore find such a little psychopath? Why doesn't Durmstrang have one?!

"Wait a minute! Seriously, are those two Champion at Hogwarts also ridiculously strong?"

Karkaroff and Phoebe had the same idea.

Moreover, considering that the famous Little the Chosen One who once defeated the Dark Lord was one of Hogwarts ' Champion, a sense of despair washed over Karkaroff.

When we get back, we'll tell Krum. Forget about winning the championship in this Triwizard Tournament; surviving is the most important thing.

At this moment, Karkaroff once again recalled the fear of being dominated by that the Dark Lord whose name he could not even mention.

More than a decade of leisurely life had made him almost forget the terror of the Dark Lord. But now, the teachings of Dumbledore, whom even the Dark Lord had avoided at his peak, made Karkaroff realize once again that he could never comprehend the power of these people, even if he spent his entire life doing so.

Yes, Karkaroff attributed Bell's formidable strength to Dumbledore's teachings.

After all, he is the greatest White Wizard of modern times. No matter how miraculous things Dumbledore does, it seems nothing is surprising.

Otherwise, how would you explain that kid's strength?

Unaware of the complex thoughts his actions would evoke in others, Bell was floating in mid-air, looking down at the nearly 10-meter-thick snow.

The pure white snowflakes, illuminated by the sunlight, reflect a dazzling white light; they are so pure and so beautiful.

However, two girls who were lucky enough to be only slightly affected because they were far enough away from the center of the battle had no intention of appreciating this rare beautiful scene at the moment.

As the apple of their families' eye, and being girls, Phyllis and Lena both wore Defensive Trinket given to them by their families.

Thanks to this, after being pushed and tumbled dozens of meters by the snow waves, the two were unharmed except for being covered in dust, and were also lucky enough not to be buried under the snow.

Struggling to their feet, the two girls quickly searched under Bell, but couldn't find even the slightest trace of Shanna.

This made them very worried about the safety of their friend.
