Bell: "No One Can Stop My Revenge!"

"Stunning Spell!"

Another Stunning Spell shot from the tip of Lim's wand. This time, having learned her lesson, she put all her strength into it.

Lim did not dare let her Young Master get back up. Setting aside whether she could defeat him without a wand, even if she won in the end, his rampaging Magic Power would further damage his body. If that happened, even taking her own life would not be enough to atone for her failure.

Prepared this time, Bell drew upon even more Magic Power and formed a sturdier shield behind him. Though it still could not fully block Lim's Stunning Spell, it bought him enough time. He rolled aside on the spot and dodged her curse.

Bell braced himself against the ground with both hands, trying to stand. He had already shaken off the effects of the previous Stunning Spell. He was going to kill whoever had dared attack him! No matter who it was, no one could stop his revenge!

A soft pop came from above Bell's head. Then his body was blasted backward, and he fell completely unconscious.

After seeing her second Stunning Spell dodged by her Young Master, Lim panicked and finally remembered the spellcasting training she had only recently received. She used Side-Along Apparition to appear above Bell's head and knocked him out by surprise.

"Menethil Family Combat Training Rule One: Remain calm at all times."

"Menethil Family Combat Training Rule Two: Ensure Silent Spellcasting at all times."

With no time to blame herself, Lim hurried to Bell's side and waved the Pensieve, which had been knocked far away, back to her. She pressed her wand to Bell's temples and carefully extracted the fabricated memories, returning them to the Pensieve.

After repeatedly confirming that she had not missed anything or extracted any memories she should not have, Lim transformed a nearby table into a bed, then used magic to float Bell onto it.

"Revival Spell!"

A wave of excruciating pain struck him. Bell felt as though there was not a single part of his body, from head to toe, that did not hurt. His brain especially throbbed with needle-like pain, leaving him feeling as though all his energy had been drained away.

As the fabricated memories were extracted, the seal Bell had set automatically lifted as well. With his original memories restored, Bell recalled that he had been trying to ignite Fiendfyre. He did not know whether he had succeeded or not. His mind felt as though it had crashed, and he had no energy to think about such things.

"I'm sorry, Young Master! Lim is a bad elf! Lim failed to carry out Young Master's orders and let Young Master suffer such terrible injuries! Please punish Lim severely!"

Large tears continuously spilled from Lim's huge eyes. Her already shrill voice stabbed painfully into Bell's ears.

"Enough, Lim. I don't have the energy to discuss that right now. Hurry and give me a Healing Potion," Bell said weakly.

Even opening his mouth to speak felt incredibly difficult. He had never been this weak before.

Only then did Lim realize that her Young Master was still seriously injured.

Ignoring her self-reproach, she hurriedly pulled out a Healing Potion and gently raised Bell's head. Knowing her Young Master's usual habits well, Lim always carried several Healing Potions with her in case of emergencies.

With Lim tending to him, Bell drank a Healing Potion. As he felt it spread through his body, a cool sensation washed over him, easing some of the pain in his body. It did nothing for the pain in his head, however.

Bell felt that professional matters should be left to professionals. If he ended up with any lasting complications, he would have nowhere to cry about it.

"Lim, take me to Madam Pomfrey. Be careful not to let anyone see us on the way. Also, you are absolutely not to tell anyone about what happened today without my permission."

After saying that, Bell closed his eyes and fell asleep. He needed to ease the agonizing pain in his head this way, or he would go mad.

Lim hurriedly used a Levitation Charm to raise Bell into the air, then cast a Disillusionment Charm on him. Given her Young Master's current condition, she did not dare use Side-Along Apparition with him.

Lim raced toward Madam Pomfrey's Hospital Wing as fast as she could.

Since it was still early, there were not many people in the corridors. Whenever she occasionally encountered a few Little Wizards, Lim would directly knock out anyone blocking her path with a curse. With her mind filled solely with concern for her Young Master's safety, Lim could not afford to care about anything else. No one could make her slow down by even a single second.

Who knew whether Hogwarts would gain another campus legend because of this.

Having just finished breakfast, Madam Pomfrey held a cup of hot chocolate and enjoyed a rare moment of ease and quiet.

Morning was her favorite time of day. The Little Wizards at Hogwarts were simply far too energetic, and Headmaster Dumbledore stubbornly refused to listen to her advice and cancel all those dangerous magic classes. As a result, she spent every day treating these reckless little brats for all kinds of bizarre injuries. Only in the morning could she spend some peaceful time alone.

Suddenly, a violent knocking sounded at the door, startling Madam Pomfrey from her enjoyment. Irritated, she stood up and opened the doors to the Hospital Wing.

"Who is it? What could possibly be so urgent this early in the morning?" Only after speaking did Madam Pomfrey realize that there was no one in front of her.

Damn it! If I find out which little brat is behind this prank, I'll make him drink Snape's specially enhanced Potions!

"Madam Pomfrey! Please, save my Young Master!"

Just as Madam Pomfrey was about to slam the door shut, a shrill voice suddenly came from the empty space before her. The figure of a House-elf gradually appeared in front of her. At the same time, the figure of a Little Wizard floating above the House-elf's head also came into view.

"Oh! My goodness! What happened to him!?"

Seeing the blood-soaked figure before her, Madam Pomfrey could not help crying out. She had worked at Hogwarts for more than a decade, but this was the first time she had seen someone so severely injured. Had Dark Wizards attacked Hogwarts?

"Get inside, quickly! Put him on that bed over there!"

Madam Pomfrey drew her wand and began examining Bell. Although Bell's injuries looked severe, they were not actually complicated. The examination was soon complete.

"Severe internal trauma caused by rampaging Magic Power, along with excessive Spiritual Power depletion. Overall, it is nothing too serious, but he will need a long period of recuperation." As she spoke, Madam Pomfrey turned to look at the House-elf standing anxiously at the side, watching the patient. "So what exactly happened to him? It is very rare for a Little Wizard of this age to suffer Magic Power rampage to this extent."

Faced with Madam Pomfrey's question, Lim clapped a hand tightly over her mouth. She absolutely would not tell anyone about what had happened today! Not even if she died!
