-------------------------------------------------

"Good morning, Bell. What's wrong? Today is the first day of vacation, why do you look so unhappy?" Hermione sat beside Bell, the young witch now able to sit at the Ravenclaw table and eat as if it were the most normal thing.

"I wanted to go home early, but that darn Filch wouldn't let me leave. He insisted we couldn't leave the school until 8 o'clock!" Bell grumbled.

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

No, not like a child, Bell was a child. But usually, Bell always seemed so mature, as if he could face anything calmly, so Hermione would instinctively overlook Bell's age.

"Come on, today is the day to go home. Haven't you been looking forward to it for days? It's less than an hour now, have breakfast, it will pass quickly."

An hour's time, under normal circumstances, was indeed very short. Just casually flipping through a magic book, immersing oneself in magical knowledge, it would pass in the blink of an eye.

But today, Bell couldn't concentrate on anything. Whether chatting or eating, Bell would glance at the clock every minute or two, behaving like someone with attention deficit disorder.

Finally, the time to leave school arrived! Bell barely managed to contain his urge to cheer. After the professors had finished taking attendance, he and Hermione hurriedly walked to the Hogwarts platform.

"Goodbye, Hermione. See you next semester," Bell bid farewell to Hermione.

"Huh? Aren't you taking the train?"

"No, the train is too slow."

Bell hid behind a sign, casting a Disillusionment Charm on himself to ensure no one would notice him.

"Goodbye, take care on the way."

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

"..."

"Didn't they say you only learn that in 5th or 6th year!?"

Hermione felt like she had been fooled by Bell again. Why add 'again'? Because she often had similar feelings, but so far hadn't been able to catch any flaws.

...

The Manor of the Minashel family was also protected by Anti-Apparition and Anti-Disillusionment wards, so Bell could only Disillusion himself outside the castle's garden.

Once Bell appeared, without even a second's pause, he dashed into the garden and shouted towards the castle, "I'm back!"

Boom!

Two large doors flew from either side of Bell, creating two small mushroom clouds in the distance...

"Hmm... Shanna's spells are even stronger now, excellent!"

A shadow dashed out of the castle at a speed almost impossible to discern with the naked eye, plunging into Bell's embrace.

"Big brother! Big brother! Shanna misses you so much!"

Shanna tightly hugged Bell, nuzzling her little head against his, relishing the feeling of her brother's presence.

Bell also hugged Shanna tightly, holding back tears.

"Big brother misses you too!"

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

Elena looked at Bell with teary eyes, while William, with a vein pulsing on his forehead, looked at the empty castle gates and ordered the house elves to retrieve the debris of the gate and repair it from afar.

"Bell, why are you back so soon? We were planning to pick you up at King's Cross Station at noon," Elena said joyfully, her voice slightly choked.

"The train is too slow, so I Apparated back directly."

"Apparated!? When did you learn Apparition!? How can you learn such a dangerous spell at your age!? And why didn't you tell us anything!?" William exclaimed in shock.

"Just last year. I told Shanna. It's not a difficult spell, with Shanna helping on the side, it's fine," Bell casually replied.

Apparition, as a standard skill for adult wizards in the magical world (by Bell's standards), was not difficult once one overcame psychological barriers. Of course, Bell felt a bit nervous when learning it initially. After all, it was instant teleportation! Doesn't the name sound fancy? So Bell thought this spell couldn't possibly be learned so easily, and he just wanted to give it a try.

However, with Bell's strong control and perception of magic, he really did learn it easily. There wasn't even a single case of Splinching from start to finish.

"Alright, let's not dwell on these details, let's go in quickly."

Seeing William and Elena still wanting to say something, Bell had no interest in listening to their nagging. It was just a basic spell; he learned it, what was the point of saying so much?

Bell happily carried Shanna back to his long-lost home. The moment he stepped through the castle gates, he felt like a fish returning to water, incredibly comfortable all over.

Shanna, on the other hand, clung to Bell like a koala, refusing to let go, as clingy as they were when they first met. Of course, Bell didn't mind at all, he was ecstatic. As for the two people nearby with resentful eyes, the two little ones silently ignored them.

Lunch and dinner were exceptionally sumptuous. Ever since Bell taught his family the method of using magic to enhance digestion and absorption, although William and Elena gave up after a few tries because they found it bothersome, Shanna, who had always admired her big brother, undoubtedly practiced diligently every day.

So at Bell's family dinner table, it was often seen that William and Elena, having quickly finished eating, sat on the side watching the two siblings wolf down their food (etiquette was unnecessary in the face of good food), devouring the full table of food bit by bit. And the most miraculous thing was, neither of them had bloated bellies.

Thanks to this, both Bell and Shanna were much taller than children their age. At the age of 11 this year, Bell was nearly 1.7 meters tall.

After dinner, Bell carefully examined Shanna's progress in her studies during this time, and was pleased to find that her progress had not slowed down. After praising his sister profusely, the two chatted until late before falling asleep soundly. Even in their dreams, they still wore smiles.

Although they chatted every day via 'personal terminals' for video calls, seemingly no different from face-to-face conversations. Perhaps it was indeed the case for people with ordinary relationships, but for the intimate pair, it couldn't fill the void in their hearts.

Without feeling each other's breath, unable to touch each other's warmth, the feeling of loneliness would only accumulate in their hearts.
