Hogwarts Wizarding Journey

Faced with Bell's questioning, Hermione finally spoke hesitantly.

"It's just...it's..."

"Jiushi?"

"I, I don't know what to say. In fact, I didn't avoid you on purpose. But, I, I feel very uncomfortable when I think of seeing you. I have also visited Madam Pomfrey before.

, but Madam Pomfrey said I am not sick..."

The little witch lowered her head and said with a red face.

Her voice became softer and softer, and in the end, even with Bell's current hearing, he couldn't hear clearly what Hermione was saying.

However, he didn't need to hear it clearly.

Looking at Hermione's current appearance, and then thinking about Hermione's unusual behavior since last Sunday, even if her emotional intelligence is as low as Bell's, she can almost figure out what's going on.

By the way, if this is still unclear, it is no longer a question of emotional intelligence, but a question of IQ, right?

As he figured out the cause and effect of the matter, Bell's face also turned red at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. The color was even darker than Hermione's, and the red color turned purple.

After all, Hermione has also gone through an adaptation period of nearly a week. So compared to the beginning, the little witch has been able to control her emotions a little bit.

But for Bell, the news came too suddenly. He was completely unprepared.

Bell, who has lived in two lives, can be considered to have rich experience. After all, he has even experienced such an outrageous thing as time travel after death.

but!

When it comes to falling in love, this is really the first time for him to get into a sedan chair as a grown-up girl!

In his previous life, Bell was a "three-no" product with no car, no house, and no savings, and really no one wanted him.

So until the day he died of a serious illness, he never even touched a girl's hand except for a polite handshake.

Over time, the concept of 'unpopular' became firmly cemented in Bell's mind and became a subconscious thing.

And Bell has always regarded Hermione as a friend.

Although it may be that physical age affects mental age, Bell did not feel the so-called generation gap when getting along with peers around him. But he never thought about falling in love with these little girls.

At least until the previous moment, he hadn't thought about it.

But now, Bell must start to consider this issue.

Emotions are regardless of age, and every sincere relationship should be treated seriously. Bell will not allow himself to be the kind of person who ignores feelings or even plays with them.

He walked over to Hermione and sat down next to her.

Looking at the little witch who was tense and breathing rapidly, Bell decided to make one last confirmation.

This is really not Bell's ink, this is really just to prevent misunderstandings and make everyone embarrassed.

To put it simply, Bell is ‘cowardly’!

"Hermione, you...do you like me? I don't mean the kind of love between friends, but the kind between lovers."

Bell held his breath and stared at Hermione without blinking, waiting for the final verdict.

"I...I don't...no, I know...yes, I like you, Bell, very, very much, like a lover!"

Maybe she was awakened by Bell's question, or maybe she didn't want to lie in front of Bell? In short, Hermione finally stopped the self-deception called 'not knowing' and faced her own heart.

Bell was silent. He didn't know how he felt now.

Happy? Excited? Uneasy? Or...fearful?

Bell didn't know, but he knew that he couldn't stay silent like this forever. So Bell decided to think about this issue from another angle.

'Do I have any reason to reject Hermione?'

Without a doubt, the answer is: 'No!'

If that's the case, then there's nothing to worry about or hesitate about.

Looking at the silent Bell, it was Hermione's turn to hold her breath and wait for the final verdict without blinking her eyes.

In the little witch's heart, she didn't feel that she was worthy of Bell at all.

Bell is so outstanding. No matter it is knowledge, magic, origin, or family background, nothing can compare with her.

So deep down, to be honest, Hermione didn't think Bell would like her.

"Hermione, be my girlfriend!"

Bell said firmly.

As for what Hermione was thinking about or not, Bell had never cared.

Feelings are feelings, they should only follow your own heart and should not be affected by rules and regulations.

"...Bell, you, what did you say?"

Hermione's voice was trembling. She couldn't believe what she just heard.

"I said, be my girlfriend! Hermione."

Bell repeated firmly again.

Tears fell from the corners of Hermione's eyes, she had never been so happy as she was now.

Hermione has always believed that the so-called "happy to tears" is just an exaggerated description that can only be seen on TV or in books and does not exist in reality.

After all, when she received the admission notice to Hogwarts and learned that magic was real and that she was a witch, she was so happy that she screamed and jumped like crazy without even shedding a tear.

But at this moment, Hermione confirmed that humans really do cry when they are extremely happy.

Seeing Hermione crying suddenly, Bell felt at a loss for a while, and then he calmed down.

He reached out his hand, gently hugged Hermione into his arms, and rested his cheek on Hermione's head.

Gently stroking Hermione's hair, Bell comforted the little witch... No! It was his girlfriend's mood.

After an unknown amount of time, Hermione's emotions finally calmed down a bit. She buried her red face firmly in Bell's chest and hugged Bell's waist tightly with both hands.

'It's so embarrassing! You will definitely be laughed at by Bell now!'

The shy Hermione wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in, but the scent of Bell filling the tip of her nose made her reluctant to leave Bell's arms.

"Hermione, you haven't given me an answer yet."

Bell said softly.

Looking at Hermione's little red ears from shyness in his arms, Bell couldn't help but reach out and pinch them gently, successfully making Hermione's neck turn red.

"……Um."

Hermione pinched Bell's waist without any knowledge, trying to stop Bell's mischievous hand.

But because she was afraid of hurting Bell, she used too little force, which made Bell become even more aggressive.

"What did you say? I couldn't hear you clearly."

Bell's hand holding Hermione tightened again. This time he brought his lips to Hermione's ear.

"I, I want to be your girlfriend!"

Hermione said while suppressing her shyness.

The curvature of the corners of his mouth became wider and wider, and finally, Bell couldn't control himself and let out a hearty laugh.

"Hahaha~! I have a girlfriend!!!"
