Chapter 175 Another conversation with Dumbledore

"Bell...Bell..."

Hermione pushed her boyfriend who was lying on her lap. Professor McGonagall had called him several times, but Bell didn't respond at all.

"Alas~!"

The plan to pretend to be asleep failed, and Bell had to get up slowly.

He hasn't enjoyed it enough yet, these professors really don't understand the style.

By the way, Lao Deng came back too soon, right? Did he come back after his position was restored?

Under Hermione's urging, Bell was forced to lift the barrier and walked in the direction of Professor McGonagall.

"Mr. Menethil, please follow me. Professor Dumbledore wants to ask you some questions. Don't keep him waiting too long."

Although Professor McGonagall is very curious, where did Bell hide just now? She searched for a long time but couldn't find it.

But now was obviously not the time to discuss that issue, and she didn't think that this cunning brat would tell her the truth.

"Professor, does Professor Dumbledore have anything to do with Bell?"

Hermione asked worriedly.

"I don't know, but I think he will naturally find out when he gets to the principal's office."

"Then I want to go too!"

Hermione was not at all worried about letting Bell go to the principal's office alone. Although Bell solved the basilisk, in theory, this should be a good thing, and it is a good thing that even if it is added 100 points, it is not too much.

However, whether it was due to female intuition or something else, Hermione always felt that Professor McGonagall looked at Bell in a somewhat unkind way.

In short, it was definitely not a look of approval.

"OK!"

"no!"

Bell and Professor McGonagall looked at each other, and the atmosphere was awkward for a moment.

"Professor, in fact, my Hermione and I are of the same mind, so Old Deng... ahem, there is no difference between Professor Dumbledore asking 'me' and asking 'us'."

Bell didn't want to be alone, chatting with two old men and ladies. At least it wouldn't be so boring if Hermione was with him?

"Cut your rhetoric, Mr. Menethil, Professor Dumbledore has not allowed anyone else to travel with you."

Professor McGonagall said sternly.

"But he didn't allow others to go with me, right? And the most important thing is that Hermione is not someone else. Believe me, Professor Dumbledore will be very happy that Hermione can go with him."

Yes, Bell can be 100% sure that if Hermione goes to see Dumbledore with him, then Dumbledore will be very happy.

After all, as long as you know a little bit about the two of them, it is not difficult to know that Hermione is much easier to deal with than Bell. Compared to prying open Bell's mouth, it was much easier to learn the situation from Hermione.

I don’t know if she thought of something or the persistence of the two of them moved her? Professor McGonagall finally agreed to the request of the two of them to go together.

After passing the famous stone statue at the door of the principal's office and ascending a spiral staircase, the principal's office of Hogwarts appeared in front of Bell for the first time.

Hmm... It's a pretty ordinary room. Except for the powerful defensive magic applied to the magic node at the core, there is nothing worth mentioning.

Hermione, on the other hand, looked surprised and looked around. If Professor McGonagall hadn't been right in front, she would have taken out her personal terminal and taken a photo.

As the door was opened, Bell was surprised to find that besides Dumbledore, there were three other people inside.

One is Dumbledore's personal pharmacist, Snape, which is understandable. But the existence of the other two people was really beyond Bell's expectations.

"Mr. Weasley, why are you here?"

Belle asked in surprise.

Yes, this person is Arthur Weasley, the head of the Weasley family, who is well-known in the British wizarding world. And the woman standing with him should be his wife—Molly Weasley? Bell has never met Arthur's wife, so he can only speculate.

"Mr. Menethil, I came here specifically to thank you for saving my little daughter."

Arthur bowed and said.

"When I received the news that something had happened to Ginny, my wife and I were frightened to death. Oh, this must be the first time you have met my wife, right? This is my wife Molly. "

"Dear, thank you so much! I don't know how to express my gratitude! If you need any help in the future, please just ask and we will try our best to repay you!"

Molly came over and hugged Bell, crying as she spoke.

"You are too polite. I actually didn't do anything. Also, just call me Bell. I'm not used to people calling me Menethil."

Bell truly deserves the gratitude from Mr. and Mrs. Arthur.

Last night, he didn't care about Ginny's condition from beginning to end, so Ginny's survival was really just her luck.

Maybe his own Fina has more credit than him?

"Okay, Arthur, and Molly, can you give me some time first? I have some questions to ask our little hero, and there will be a lot of time for you to communicate later."

Dumbledore interrupted several people with words. He was sitting on the chair behind his desk, with the same smile on his face as before, but his eyes were unusually sharp.

After Arthur pulled his wife aside, Dumbledore finally revealed the purpose of calling Bell.

"Bell, can I call you that? Because you just said you don't like others calling you Menethil."

"Of course, Professor, as you like."

"So, Belle, did you kill the basilisk?"

"Yes."

Upon hearing Bell's answer, Professor McGonagall turned her head and glared at him.

‘This shameless brat! ’

"So, how did you kill the basilisk?"

Dumbledore continued to ask.

"Trade secrets, professor."

"Really? Then, can you show me the body of the basilisk?"

"The basilisk's body has been sent home, and I don't know where it is now."

Dumbledore fell silent. Obviously, Bell's answer did not satisfy him.

Seeing the atmosphere getting heavier and heavier, Hermione couldn't help but stand up.

"Professor, can I say a few words?"

"certainly."

Dumbledore looked at Hermione and smiled kindly again.

‘Old fox! ’

Bell curled his lips secretly.

"Professor, that's actually the case. I used to..."

Next, Hermione briefly explained everything related to the basilisk that had happened in the past six months, starting from the night of the Halloween party until this morning when she learned that the basilisk was killed by Bell.

Seeing that everyone in the room was listening to Hermione's story attentively, Bell yawned out of boredom, but did not stop Hermione's behavior.

After all, that was why he insisted on bringing Hermione with him. He himself doesn't have the patience to explain so much to several unrelated people.
