Bell Through Penelope's Eyes

Everyone sat happily in the Great Hall, enjoying delicious Pumpkin Pasties and sweet Pumpkin Juice.

But Bell did not.

Penelope inadvertently saw Bell enter the Great Hall, first look around, then go to the Gryffindor table and say something before leaving the Great Hall.

Penelope was puzzled by Bell's unusual behavior. Driven by curiosity, she decided to secretly follow him.

Then she was surprised to see that Bell had actually gone into the Girls' Bathroom! She walked into the Girls' Bathroom without any hesitation or doubt!

(⊙⊙)

"Could it be that when he mysteriously disappeared, he was actually hiding in the Girls' Bathroom?!"

Penelope pulled out her Wand and rushed over; she was determined to expose Bell's true colors today. How dare he enter the Girls' Bathroom at such a young age?! What will he be like when he grows up?! This pervert must be severely punished!

However, just as Penelope rushed to the door of the Girls' Bathroom, preparing to cast Curses, she heard Bell talking to someone inside.

Fearing that Bell might have accomplices, Penelope quickly hid, deciding to observe the situation before making a decision. Then she realized that she seemed to have misunderstood.

A Little Witch was bullied by her classmates and spent the whole afternoon in the restroom. When Bell found out, she rushed over to comfort her! Are you guys acting in a movie?

Knowing she had misunderstood, Penelope decided not to say anything since there was a reason for it and no one else had seen it. Although she still disagreed with Bell's behavior of entering the Girls' Bathroom, she decided to speak out since there was a reason for it and no one else had seen it.

She hid outside and secretly listened to their conversation. As she listened, she became a little jealous.

Why wasn't there someone to comfort her back then?

After noticing the two people starting to walk away, Penelope quickly ran to a corner and hid.

"So why should I hide?"

Just as Penelope was about to return to the Great Hall after Bell and the others left, she was suddenly horrified to discover that a Troll was walking towards her from the opposite direction!

Penelope was terrified! Unlike Hermione, who was still a first-year student, Penelope, as a fifth-year student who had already received four years of education at Hogwarts, knew all too well the horror of a Troll. With her Curses, she couldn't even break Troll's skin.

As for the two first-year students not far away, she didn't even consider them in terms of combat strength; it was good enough that those two little guys didn't cause her any trouble.

Penelope was torn, unsure whether to rush out to save the two or run off to find the professors. But just then, she overheard Bell and Hermione's conversation.

What is Bell saying? Troll are gentle, easy-going creatures?! Merlin's ahoge! She's read enough books; this kind of half-hearted lie won't fool her!

Penelope suspected that Bell might have been scared out of her wits. Shouldn't knowledge about Troll be common sense for Little Wizard from wizarding families?

However, reality is often more absurd than drama. Right after Bell said "Get lost," the Troll actually obediently rolled away!?

What a joke!

(╯#-伀)╯~~╧═╧

As a mature fifth-year student, Penelope wasn't as easily fooled as Hermione. Although she didn't know exactly what had happened, she was certain that Bell had done something!

In the days that followed, Penelope noticed that Bell was spending much more time with Hermione.

Of course, that's not important. What's important is that, through her investigation, she discovered that Hermione, like herself, was also a Muggle-born Little Witch.

A Pure-blood Little Wizard from one of the most prestigious wizarding families has become best friends with a Muggle-born Little Wizard? This isn't magical at all! So you guys are really just acting in a TV drama!

Penelope became even more curious about Bell. She had never wanted to understand a person as much as she did now, to know what he was really thinking.

After racking her brains and coming up with all sorts of ideas, only to reject them one by one, Penelope finally decided, somewhat resignedly, to just go for the straight punch.

She began to actively reach out to Bell. Then, she quickly discovered it wasn't difficult. She started to understand why Bell and Hermione had become friends.

On the evening of the last day of the Christmas Holiday, the Little Wizard who had gone home for the holidays returned to Hogwarts.

Watching Bell and Hermione walk into the Great Hall together and then separate, Penelope suddenly felt a pang of jealousy, so she couldn't help but tease Bell.

"Penelope, it's been a long time. Also, Hermione isn't my girlfriend; we're just friends," Bell explained with a smile. "Didn't you go home for the holidays, Penelope?"

"Yes, my dad had work to do during Christmas, so I stayed at school. How was your holiday?"

"Fantastic!"

As soon as the topic was brought up, Bell immediately became excited.

"Let me tell you, I haven't seen my little sister for months. After I went back this time, my little sister... and then Shanna... and guess what, Shanna... Shanna..."

"..."

Looking at the excited Bell, Penelope tried her best to maintain a polite smile. She had discovered a new side of Bell. However, she really didn't know how to evaluate it.

Five minutes passed, then ten, as Bell continued his endless tale about his sister Shanna, yet Bell showed no sign of stopping.

Penelope had no doubt that Bell could talk until tomorrow morning if no one interrupted. Her eyes darted around, and she unexpectedly spotted a new member.

"What an adorable kitten! Is it your pet, Bell?" Penelope said, covering her mouth.

"This is Fina, a Christmas present from Shanna!"

Bell proudly puffed out his chest.

Bell didn't intend to tell anyone about Fina's race. After all, Fina was far too dangerous, and she was bought from smugglers, so it was best to avoid trouble. Bell hated problems.

As for what will happen when Fina grows up? Hagrid is already 3.5 meters tall, and nobody says anything against it. So, isn't it perfectly normal for Fina to grow to 2 or 3 meters tall?

"Can I hug it?"

Penelope seems to really like Fina.

"Of course, please wait a moment."

Bell held Fina close to him and stared at her with a serious expression.

"This is my senior, she's a nice person. She wants to hug you now, but you're not allowed to bite her, or you won't get dinner."

Faced with her unscrupulous master's threat to cut off her food supply, Fina had no choice but to submit to his power, even though she was somewhat unwilling.

It hopped onto the dining table, gracefully walked to Penelope, squatted down, and stretched out its two front paws towards Penelope.

"Aww~"

o(=ω=)m

Looking at the adorable and clever Fina, Penelope managed to suppress a scream. She gently held Fina in her arms and stroked her little head.

"Bell, where did your sister buy Fina? I want to buy one as a pet too."

"Um... this one was supposedly bought overseas; they don't have this variety in Britain."

Two drops of sweat dripped from Bell's forehead.

Penelope looked at Fina with regret, hugged her for a while longer, and then reluctantly returned her to Bell.
