Being a Sister-in-Law Is Hard
If Bell were standing here right now, Hermione wouldn't be worried at all. She knew that her boyfriend was always very sensible, as long as Shanna wasn't involved.
But now that it's Shanna... Hermione hasn't forgotten that Shanna planned to kill Percy during the summer vacation.
Although Shanna was scolded by Bell afterward, who knows if the little girl will get carried away again?
"Huh? I didn't kill that bad guy."
Shanna rolled her eyes at Hermione, who had suddenly appeared, and said dismissively.
No way, she'd never kill someone in public. She wouldn't stoop to something so unskillful.
"Then what did you do? Why did you attack Harry?"
Hermione breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that Harry was still alive.
Then she asked Harry what he had done to offend Shanna.
As far as she knew, Shanna usually liked to cause trouble, but she always had a reason. Although some of her reasons seemed utterly absurd to her.
"He struck first, so this is self-defense."
At this point, Shanna proudly raised her little head.
Strictly speaking, it was she who first planned to attack Harry.
But the truth is that the other party struck first! She was just retaliating out of desperation.
Moreover, she learned the term "self-defense" from her own Gege.
That annoying Krum dared to attack his own Gege, and was then severely injured by his Gege in "self-defense".
From then on, she remembered the word and always wanted to try it out.
"How is that possible!?"
Hermione refused to believe Shanna's words. Knowing Harry as she did, Shanna should be a pretty easygoing person, right?
And most importantly, she had never heard of Harry having self-destructive tendencies.
Wait a minute! Could it be because of that report in the Daily Prophet?
Unable to bear the gossip and rumors, Harry contemplated suicide.
But because he was afraid of dying, he chose such a peculiar way to commit suicide?
It must be said that Hermione's thinking is quite unique at times.
"Snort!"
Shanna was very unhappy that Hermione was questioning her.
She glared at Fina was nestled in Hermione's arms, not daring to move and trying to minimize her presence.
Then Fina obediently jumped to the ground and walked unsteadily to Shanna's feet.
There was no other way; the little guy had been thoroughly humiliated by Shanna lately. And even his master, whom he had always relied on, was no longer effective this time.
It's really too difficult!
After bending down to pick up Fina and stroking her soft, smooth fur a couple of times, Shanna felt her displeasure lessen somewhat.
Then, the little girl left the Gryffindor Common Room without looking back, ignoring Hermione's calls behind her.
"Sigh~!"
With a helpless sigh, Hermione really couldn't do anything about Shanna without Bell present.
Speaking of Bell, that rascal has been acting all mysterious lately, I wonder what he's up to this time.
Hermione walked over to Ginny and Harry, and seeing Ginny's face covered in tears and snot, took out a handkerchief and put it in Ginny's hand.
"Don't worry, Harry's fine. You should wipe your tears and snot off your face, or he'll be startled when Harry opens his eyes and sees you like this."
Also, lay Harry flat on the ground, let me check him over.
It's safe to say that any Little Witch who knows Ginny could see her feelings for her.
Only mischievous Little Wizard Harry and his friends would be unable to understand the delicate thoughts of girls.
Thinking about it this way, Hermione suddenly stopped feeling sorry for Harry on the ground.
Should she secretly give the other person a couple more hits?
"Okay, okay."
Seeing that it was her familiar senior, Hermione, standing in front of her, Ginny finally relaxed a little.
Although Hermione's reputation was mixed, they were from the same house, and Ginny had a few interactions with Hermione.
In her opinion, apart from constantly nagging about School Rules, which was a bit annoying, Hermione was a pretty good senior overall.
Gently laying Harry down, Ginny vigorously wiped the liquid from her face.
She didn't want Harry to see her in such a disheveled state. Even though she already knew that Harry liked her brother Ron, her years of unrequited love still made Ginny subconsciously want to show her best side when facing Harry.
Hermione pressed her Wand against Harry's body, using the method Bell had taught her to diffuse her magic onto Harry's skin and then slowly let it seep in, trying to avoid causing Harry's own magic to reject it.
Hermione quickly finished examining Harry's injuries, and then her eyes began to tremble uncontrollably.
Harry had multiple cracks in his sternum, several broken ribs, and minor internal bleeding.
If this weren't the Magical World, Muggle suffering such injuries would likely be bedridden for at least six months.
"That girl, Shanna, she really doesn't know her own strength!"
Hermione took a small leather pouch from her bosom and retrieved a bottle of healing Potions from it.
This was the space bag that Bell gave her on their first date.
Hermione gently lifted Harry's head and carefully fed Harry the Potions.
Then...
Episkey!
Hermione cast a healing Curses, which, combined with Potions, both internally and externally, finally stopped Harry's injuries from worsening and began to improve.
"Hmm~"
As it turns out, Hermione has a good talent for healing Curses.
As the emerald green glow of the Curses slowly dimmed, Harry on the ground let out a painful groan and slowly opened his eyes.
"Harry! Harry, you're awake! Are you alright? How are you feeling?"
Seeing Harry wake up, Ginny, who had just wiped her face clean, burst into tears of joy once again.
The sudden shout made Harry instinctively reach up and press his head. He felt a sharp pain shooting through his brain.
"Where am I? What happened to me?"
The previous blow had caused Harry to experience a mental blank. He was now somewhat confused and unaware of what had happened.
However, Harry's seemingly ordinary question startled Hermione, who was standing nearby.
Seeing the other person like this, Hermione thought that Shanna had tampered with Harry's memories.
If that's the case, with her current level of Memory Charm, she won't be able to help the other person regain their memories, so she'll have to ask Bell.
"Harry, have you forgotten? You were attacked by that Sanna Menethil and then passed out."
Unlike Hermione, who was prone to overthinking, Ginny, upon hearing Harry's question, immediately recounted the events that had transpired.
