Brother and Sister Return Early

10:00 AM, August 30th.

There are two days left until the start of the school year at Hogwarts.

With a slight distortion of space, two figures, one tall and one short, appeared outside the Leaky Cauldron.

These two were actually the siblings Bell and Shanna, who should have been staying in the United States with their elders.

Logically, the two of them should have stayed in the United States until the evening of the 31st, then returned to the Britain to pack up, and went to Hogwarts the next day.

However, due to certain special circumstances this year, they had to return to the Britain a day earlier.

So it really wasn't because Bell missed his girlfriend so much that he couldn't stand it anymore and came back early!

Pushing open the bar door and looking at the bustling crowd inside, Bell couldn't help but frown.

Sure enough, he still didn't like the noisy environment.

Suppressing his discomfort, Bell stepped into the Leaky Cauldron for the first time.

Carefully avoiding the drunkards who came here to drink early in the morning, Bell led Shanna toward a secluded corner.

In that corner, four young figures were quietly waiting.

Whether they sensed something or not, as the Bell siblings approached, one of the witches, who was talking to another with her head down, suddenly raised her head and looked in the direction where Bell was.

"Bell!"

With a suppressed gasp, the witch suddenly stood up and threw herself into Bell's arms.

Ahem, don't get me wrong, this isn't because Bell did anything bad behind Hermione's back, but because this witch is actually Bell's girlfriend whom he hasn't seen in a long time.

Normally, in such a public setting, especially in front of her classmates, the shy Hermione wouldn't be able to do something like throwing herself at them.

But this time, she and Bell were separated for a full month and a half, which caused Hermione immense suffering.

So much so that now, whenever she sees Bell, she can no longer suppress her emotions and throws herself into his arms, clinging to her boyfriend's neck like a Bell.

"Bell, why are you so late!"

Hermione complained, clearly annoyed.

You should know that in order to reunite with Bell as soon as possible, she got up at 6 o'clock today to start putting on makeup, arrived at the Leaky Cauldron at 8 o'clock, and has been waiting until now.

"Uh... sorry!"

Bell said with a wry smile.

He had actually anticipated that Hermione would arrive early, so he had originally planned to come a little earlier.

But to everyone's surprise, the four elders in the family were really reluctant to let Bell and Shanna leave. The grandmother and maternal grandmother each held Bell and Shanna's arms tightly, crying and urging them to transfer to Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Not to mention that there are only two days left before the start of school, it's too late to transfer schools now.

Even if the siblings transfer to Ilvermorny, Ilvermorny is a boarding school! They still won't be able to see each other then, right?

So what's the point?

After much persuasion, just as the agreed meeting time was approaching, the two elderly people reluctantly let go of each other's hands, allowing Bell to Side-Along Apparition back to Britain with Shanna.

Since it was getting late, Bell put Hermione down after a short while and looked at the other three classmates who had just been fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

"Long time no see, Luna. And what are your names, these two seniors?"

Bell greeted him with a smile.

"Long time no see, Bell Senior. Are you really the Team Professor? Weren't you a student like us? Why are you suddenly a professor?"

Luna asked in her signature, flat tone.

Although Luna's expression didn't show any sign of curiosity, this time, she was genuinely, genuinely curious!

This curiosity has been building up ever since I received the notification from Hogwarts more than a month ago.

"It's true. Also, I'm only a temporary professor, and this is only for this one time."

As you know, Hogwarts has a very limited pool of professors, and every year the headmaster has to rack his brains to find new professors for Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Therefore, since the professors were all unavailable, I was temporarily appointed as the Team Professor.

Bell made it up off the top of his head.

Hogwarts ' teaching resources are indeed very limited, but it's not to the point that they can't spare a single person for such an important matter.

It's worth noting that both Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick were vying to be the Team Professor.

However, the current headmaster of Hogwarts, Snape, was a close friend of Bell's, so the position was abused and given to Bell.

Actually, Bell really had no other choice.

As everyone knows, Bell hates people who abuse their power for personal gain! So he didn't intend to do this.

But there's only one spot per grade, and if Bell takes it, Hermione won't get a spot.

That won't do!

He couldn't stand being separated from his girlfriend for a whole year! He'd go crazy!

Since he had already used his power to settle things privately once before, Bell simply swallowed his pride and made an outrageous request to Snape: that he would be the Team Professor and that the fifth-year spot be given to Hermione.

Incidentally, the last time Bell abused his power was by lowering the selection criteria for this competition from a minimum of 5th grade to a minimum of 3rd grade.

There was no other way! He didn't want to do that either!

But what can you do when Shanna is only in third grade?

Does this mean Bell has to be separated from her sister for another whole year?

That won't do!

He won't be able to resist exploding the Earth from the inside!

Therefore, in order to maintain world peace and for the health and integrity of Earth, Bell used his ultimate skill of throwing a tantrum and acting cute for the first time in his life, successfully persuading his mother.

Then the mother puts pressure on the father.

The pressure was put on the Ministry of Magic by the father.

The Ministry of Magic communicated with the Cultivator Alliance.

In this way, layer upon layer, Bell successfully used this nesting doll-like method to allow his younger sister to be with him as well!

That's truly something to celebrate! His act of sacrificing his dignity was worthwhile!

"Hello, Professor Menethil...?"

The two older students looked at Bell awkwardly, unsure of how to address each other.

Call them professor... they'd feel awkward.

After all, Bell Grylls is younger than them.

Although the other party was indeed the Team Professor, they always felt uncomfortable addressing someone younger than themselves as "professor."

But they wouldn't dare call me "junior"...

Just kidding, Bell's reputation at Hogwarts was built on blood and corpses!

(That's not actually the case.)

Now that the other party has the moral high ground, if they are severely punished because of disrespectful address, they will have nowhere to cry out for justice!

Professor McGonagall isn't here to back them up!
