Fina

The next morning, after Shanna woke up, she accidentally discovered something astonishing: ' My Gege received an extra Christmas present!'

Shanna counted the gifts carefully again and made sure that they belonged to her Gege, not her.

In other words, the Gege made a friend at Hogwarts!

Shanna felt an urge to cry tears of joy. Finally... finally...

Shanna excitedly ran to tell her parents the good news.

William and Elena were overjoyed that their son had finally made a friend, but it was only 6 a. m.!

I'm so sleepy, I just want to keep sleeping!

But Shanna didn't care about any of that. She dragged the two of them back to her bedroom, not even giving them time to get dressed.

Seeing the three people making such a fuss, Bell was speechless and even felt like punching one of them.

Of course, the only target he wanted to attack was his own father, William.

Bell is infinitely tolerant of her adorable younger sister. And Bell is infinitely obedient to her beautiful mother.

Fortunately, William was unaware of his son's inner thoughts, otherwise... otherwise, there was nothing he could have done...

"Bell, quickly open it and see what gifts you received."

Elena urged.

Since she was already up and there was no way she could go back to sleep, she might as well take a look; she was incredibly curious too.

Suddenly, Shanna became nervous, staring anxiously at her Gege.

Bell opened a gift, tossed it aside, then opened another, and tossed it... Oh, this must be from Mother, I can't throw it away, thank goodness...

"Hey Bell! Open your friend's gift first! By the way, is your friend a boy or a girl? Whose child is they?"

Elena urged.

"Her name is Hermione Granger, Little Witch from a Muggle family, and a very good Little Witch at that."

Bell answered casually.

"Besides, I haven't even opened them yet, how am I supposed to know which one Hermione sent?"

Perhaps Elena cast some unique spell? The next gift Bell opened was from Hermione, containing some Muggle- made treats.

Bell opened the package and gave some to each of the three people.

"It doesn't taste any different from what we usually eat."

William said with some disappointment.

Bell rolled his eyes.

"They're both in the Britain, so it's normal that there's no difference, okay?"

Bell glanced at Shanna, who had been quiet since the beginning, and knew that her sister was worried about whether she liked the gift she had given her.

In fact, this tension is completely unnecessary, because no matter what Shanna gives him, Bell will cherish it as a treasure for life.

However, even after many years, Shanna still gets very nervous every year. After several unsuccessful attempts to persuade her, Bell just let it go.

To help his younger sister relax as quickly as possible, Bell sped up the process of unwrapping the gifts.

He quickly opened Shanna's gift.

Unexpectedly, Shanna gave him a living creature.

Bell carefully took a sleeping kitten out of the gift box. The kitten had bright yellow fur, a small, soft body, and was incredibly cute!

"Gege, do you like it?"

"Shanna asked expectantly."

"I love it! Does it have a name yet?"

"Yes!" Shanna laughed happily. "Its name is Fina. I hope it can take my place and stay with my Gege at Hogwarts."

"Shanna is irreplaceable! But I believe that having Fina with me will ease some of the sadness of not being able to see my lovely sister."

(* /ω*)

The little girl shyly twisted her body, looking very satisfied and happy with her Gege's answer.

How old is Fina?

It's been a month.

"A month? Can kittens grow this big in just one month these days?" Bell asked curiously, holding Fina up and down.

In his opinion, Fina was no smaller than an adult cat.

However, he didn't know how long it would take for a cat to grow up, so he just muttered a sigh to himself. Unexpectedly, he received an answer that was beyond his expectations.

"Gege, Fina isn't a kitten, Fina is a Bi'an," Shanna corrected earnestly.

Shanna knew that her Gege didn't like pets that couldn't fight, so she wouldn't give Gege an ordinary kitten.

"!?"

"What did you say Fina is!?"

"It's Bi'an!" Shanna emphasized again. "Bi'an is a Magical Animals that lives in China..."

"Stop, stop, stop! I know what Bi'an is. But the question is, where did it come from?"

Bell was completely bewildered. As far as he knew, Bi'an was not an easy animal to obtain. In fact, many China wizards, or rather, Cultivator, had never seen Bi'an in their entire lives, let alone a Bi'an cub.

No matter how strong you are, it's useless if it depends on your looks.

William and Elena, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"I knew you'd be surprised. I've been waiting to see your reaction for so long."

"That heartless mother said while laughing."

"Shanna suddenly contacted us earlier, saying she wanted to give you a small animal as a Christmas present, to keep you company in her place."

We were thinking of buying an owl or a cat or something. But Shanna disagreed, saying that "ordinary animals are too weak and can't help my Gege fight," so she wanted an animal that was both cute and had special abilities.

Then your dad decided to get a Occamy Occamy, which is relatively easy to get in the Britain.

However, Shanna disliked the timid nature of the Occamy and demanded that it be an animal that was both cute and had special abilities, as well as a fierce personality.

This really worried your father. After much searching, he finally managed to buy this Bi'an from a smuggler.

Bell looked at the little animal in his hands, feeling both happy and touched, yet also somewhat speechless.

"Could it be that my younger sister is incredibly lucky?"

Considering their own bloodline, it seems like there's nothing wrong with it?

Bi'an is a Magical Animals in China, revered as Divine Beast in ancient China.

Legend has it that it is one of the Nine Sons of the Dragon, and it resembles a tiger. Because it can distinguish right from wrong and good from evil, and has a majestic appearance, its statues are often placed in government offices.

As a descendant of the legendary dragon, the Bi'an's combat prowess is beyond doubt. Not only is it powerful in melee combat, but its fur also possesses defensive capabilities comparable to dragon scales, and it can fly and breathe fire.

In short, the vast majority of wizards cannot defeat a single Bi'an in a one-on-one fight.

Like other powerful Magical Creatures, the Bi'an is extremely rare. The value of Bi'an cub is immeasurable.

Bell was even tempted to meet the smugglers because his own father had managed to snag one.
