Chapter 56 A Different Saturday

It's not yet the autumnal equinox, so the dawn is coming soon.

When Ed returned to the castle, the sky had already begun to dawn, and the birds that were not affected by the fire also began to fly away from their nests, looking for worms to eat.

After all, as the saying goes: the early bird gets the worm, and the early worm gets the bird.

Fortunately, today is Saturday and there are no classes, so now Ed can return to his dormitory, curl up under the blanket and have a good sleep as a bug that does not want to be eaten by birds.

As for Fox, he should have been taken back by Hagrid.

Back in the dormitory, Ed saw Draco staring at him with eyes the size of copper bells for the first time.

[This guy hasn't slept all day, has he? 】

Ed saw Draco's eyes were bloodshot, and suddenly had such a thought.

"Ed, where did you go last night? I didn't sleep all night without you."

"You sleep in your sleep, how come you have something to do with me."

Ed took off his coat, put it on the back of the chair, and lay on the bed without taking off his pants.

"Last night, the prefect called roll call, and I called for you." Speaking of this, Draco was a little excited, and in his opinion, this was a very Slytherin thing.

"Oh." Ed buried his head in the pillow, trying to make himself as comfortable as possible.

"Oh?" Draco was very dissatisfied with Ed's reaction, but he risked being discovered by the prefect and shouted "to" for him:
"Do you know that there are only you and me in our dormitory, if it wasn't because of my good ventriloquist, this young master would have gotten away with it."

"Thank you then."

Ed jumped up from the bed again. Not only was it uncomfortable to sleep with his clothes on, but he ran all night in the Forbidden Forest, and the clothes on his head were covered in dust and carbon residue, which made him very uncomfortable.

Go to the bathroom equipped in the dormitory, Ed is ready to take a good bath.

Draco sat on the bed like a dissatisfied young woman, watching Ed go to take a bath resentfully.

After quietly waiting for Ed to finish taking a bath, Draco was about to speak, but was interrupted by Ed: "Don't talk, go to sleep!"

After speaking, Ed fell asleep on the bed.

"Ed? Ed?" Draco called twice, only to hear Ed's thin breathing in response, and ran over barefoot to cover Ed with a blanket.

Wake up again, it's afternoon.

Looking out of the window, you can't tell what time it is. You can only know whether the sun has set through the clear lake water.

"Grrrr~rrrr!"

Ed's stomach began to protest, he quickly put on his clothes, grabbed the school uniform that was draped over the back of the chair, and went to the hall or to see if there was any food for his father.

But after putting on the clothes, he touched his pocket, and Ed collected the test tube containing the wild grass stained with silver blood, and Ed took it out.

Looking at the contents in the test tube, Ed turned his head and ran out to ask his father.

"Elizabeth, good afternoon." Ed saw Elizabeth standing at the window watching the fish in the lake again, so he greeted her by the way.

"Hi Ed," Elizabeth also responded to Ed with a smile, and then she saw something in Ed's hand, and out of curiosity, she chased after him and asked, "What is this?"

"It should be the blood of some kind of animal. It was found in the Forbidden Forest yesterday. I felt something strange, so I decided to show it to the teacher."

"To whom?"

"Old LeMay...professor."

Because it was Saturday, the stairs did not embarrass the students in Hogwarts Castle, so Ed and Elizabeth came to Papa Flamel's office soon.

"Professor Flamel's style is a bit..." Elizabeth looked at the door and the patterns painted on the wall, the corners of her mouth slightly grinned, her slender eyebrows frowned, and she couldn't find the words to describe it for a while.

"It's not just a few pink piggies. Dad's hats are all pink."

"what?"

"Oh, I mean, Professor Flamel's hats are all pink, and it's understandable that he likes to draw some pigs on the wall. After all, he's getting older, and his hobbies may be a little weird."

Ed knocked on the door, but no one answered.

I knocked again, but there was no sound inside, but Ed's stomach rang outside.

"I haven't eaten yet." Ed explained for his stomach rumbling. After all, a boy will always act more cautiously in front of a beautiful girl, whether he likes her or not.

"It's okay." Elizabeth lowered her head, blushing.As if it wasn't Ed's stomach rumbling, but hers.

After the two stood at the door for a while, Ed remembered that his father seemed to have said that he would be away for a while.Holding the test tube, he decided to ask Dumbledore again.

"Here are the candies." Elizabeth took out her fluffy pink handbag without knowing it, and then took out several candies and handed them to Ed: "You bought these on the train."

"Let me taste it." An old voice sounded, and the owner of the voice picked up a jelly bean, unwrapped it and put it in his mouth.

"Father?", "Mr. Flamel."

Ed didn't expect to see his father coming back just now when he remembered that his father had gone out; while Elizabeth was surprised to be seen by the teacher, gave Ed candy by herself, and lowered her head hastily.

"Not bad," Papa Flamel nodded, not sure if he was praising candy, Elizabeth, or Ed, maybe both?

LeMay took out the key, opened the door, and waved his hand: "Come in, both of you, I have something to tell you."

"Teacher, I still have something to do!" Elizabeth blushed, grabbed the hem of her skirt with both hands, curtseyed, and hurriedly left.

And Ed went into the office with his father.

"Dad, come and see this!", "That girl's name is Elizabeth, right?"

The grandfather and grandson asked in unison, and then answered together:
"That's unicorn blood.", "That's right."

"You two have a tacit understanding." Standing on the shoulder of Papa Flamel, four fist-sized birds spoke.

The appearance of this bird is very similar to that of Fox, with a chicken head and a swallow jaw, but Fox is fiery red, while this bird is a little more golden.

Ed was watching the bird, and the bird was watching Ed.

The four eyes met, and then Nan Wan spoke, with a slender and melodious voice, as if echoing: "I swear on the honor of one of the five phoenixes, Yu Chu, to protect this person for 100 years."

"Thank you, Miss Wan." Hearing Nan Wan's words, Le Mei smiled, and couldn't help leaning forward slightly to show respect.

"My surname is Nan, and our name is different from yours."

"Sorry, Miss Nan."

Hearing the conversation between Papa Flamel and the phoenix, Ed's jaw almost dropped to the ground.Because they speak Chinese, isn't English popular these days?
