Chapter 61 Reunion after a long absence

"Good morning, Bell. What's wrong with you? Today is the first day of vacation. Why do you look so unhappy?"

Hermione sat next to Bell, and the little witch could now sit at the Ravenclaw table to eat normally.

"I originally wanted to go home early, but that damn Filch dared not let me go and insisted on leaving school at 8 o'clock!" Bell said unhappily.

Seeing Bell pouting like a child, Hermione couldn't help but laugh.

No, it shouldn't be said like a child, Bell is a child originally. However, Bell always acted very mature, as if he could face whatever happened calmly, so Hermione would always subconsciously ignore Bell's age.

"Okay, today is the day to go home. Haven't you been looking forward to it a few days ago? Why not be happy? There is less than an hour left. Have breakfast and it will be over soon. ”

One hour is indeed a very short time in normal times. Just open a magic book at random, immerse yourself in the knowledge of magic, and it will be over in the blink of an eye.

But today, no matter what he did, Bell couldn't settle down. When chatting or eating, Bell would always look at his watch every 1 or 2 minutes, as if he had ADHD.

Finally, it’s time to leave school! Bell suppressed himself from cheering. After the professors took their names, he and Hermione walked quickly to the platform of Hogwarts.

"Goodbye, Hermione. See you next semester." Bell said goodbye to Hermione.

"Huh? Aren't you going to take the train?"

"No, the train is too slow."

Bell hid behind a sign and first cast a banishing spell on himself to ensure that no one would notice him.

"Goodbye, be careful on the road."

Bell waved his hand, and then with a soft 'pop', he disappeared from the spot.

"..."

‘Didn’t I say you won’t learn it until you are in fifth or sixth grade! ? ’

Hermione felt like she had been deceived by Bell again. Why add ‘and’? That's because she often has similar feelings, but so far she hasn't been able to find any flaws.

…

The castle of the Menethil family was also imposed with an 'Anti-Apparition Barrier' and an 'Anti-Apparition Barrier', so Bell could only appear outside the castle garden.

After Bell appeared, he didn't even pause for a second before he rushed into the garden and shouted in the direction of the castle: "I'm back——!"

'boom--! ’

Two gates flew past Bell on both sides, creating two small mushroom clouds in the distance...

'Well... Shanna's spell is more powerful, good! ’

A black shadow rushed out of the castle at a speed that was difficult for ordinary people to distinguish with the naked eye, and plunged into Bell's arms.

"Brother! Brother! Shanna misses you so much!"

Shanna hugged Bell tightly, rubbing her little head in Bell's arms, feeling her brother's breath for the first time in a long time.

Bell also hugged Shanna tightly with his backhand, holding back the tears from overflowing his eyes.

"Brother misses you too!"

After Shanna rushed out, William and Elena followed closely and walked out of the castle.

Elena looked at Bell with tearful eyes, while William looked at the empty castle gate with black lines on his head, and helplessly ordered the house elves to go to the distance to retrieve the remains of the gate and repair it.

"Bell, why are you back so soon? We plan to pick you up at King's Cross Station at noon." Elena said happily, her voice a little choked.

"The train was too slow, so I just apparated back."

"Apparate!? When did you learn to Apparate!? How could you learn such a dangerous spell at your current age!? And why didn't you say anything to us!?" William was shocked.

"Just last year. I told Shanna. It's not a difficult spell. It's enough to have Shanna helping me. It'll be fine." Bell said casually.

Apparition is a standard skill for adult wizards in the magical world (Bell standard). It is not difficult as long as you overcome the psychological obstacles. Of course, when Bell was studying, he still felt a little guilty. After all, this is teleportation! When you hear your name, do you think you are high-ranking? So Bell felt that this spell must not be easy to learn, and he just wanted to give it a try.

However, in fact, with the help of Bell's super magic control and perception, he really learned it that simply. Not even a split occurred from beginning to end.

"Okay, don't worry about these details, let's go in quickly."

Looking at William and Elena who still wanted to say something, Bell was completely uninterested in listening to their verbosity. It's just a basic magic spell. I've already learned it, so what's the point of talking about it so much.

Bear carried Shanna and happily returned to his long-lost home. The moment he walked into the castle gate, he felt as if a fish had finally returned to the water, and his whole body felt indescribably comfortable.

Shanna, on the other hand, was like a koala, hanging on to Bell and refusing to come down. Her level of clinginess could only be compared to when the two met for the first time. Of course, Bell not only didn't care about this at all, but was extremely happy. As for the resentful looks in the eyes of the two people on the side, the two little ones tacitly ignored them.

Lunch and dinner were extremely sumptuous. Ever since Bell gave the family the method of using magic to promote digestion and absorption, although William and Elena gave up after using it a few times because they found it too troublesome, they have always regarded their brother as their best friend. Shanna, who is following her lead, is undoubtedly practicing hard every day.

Therefore, a scene that can often be seen at the Bell family's dining table is: William and Elena, after eating quickly, sit with wide eyes and watch the two brothers and sisters gobble them up (dining etiquette is superfluous in front of delicious food) , eating the whole table full of food bit by bit. And the most amazing thing is that neither of their stomachs are bulging.

Thanks to this, both Bell and Shanna are much taller than other children of the same age. The 11-year-old Bell is already close to 1.7 meters tall.

After dinner, Bell carefully inspected Shanna's course progress during this period, and was finally satisfied that the progress had not slowed down. After patting his sister's head and praising her, the two of them chatted until very late before falling asleep. The two people in their sleep still had smiles on their lips.

Although the two of them use "personal terminals" for video chats every day, it seems to be no different from face-to-face chats. This may be true for people with ordinary relationships, but for two people who are close, it cannot fill their inner longings at all.

If you can't feel the other person's breath or touch the other person's temperature, the loneliness will accumulate more and more in your heart.
