Magical Studies at Hogwarts

The Dumbledore family will always be favored by the Phoenix, which is a rare thing even in the magical world where there are many strange people and strange things.

People speculate that this is because the Dumbledore family has Phoenix blood, or may have signed a contract with the Phoenix clan, but this is just speculation, and the Dumbledore family has never responded to this.

Fox may have followed Dumbledore for too long. In addition to Phoenix's natural arrogance, he also has many bad habits.For example, it likes to snatch Ike's food, like to stand on top of Ike's head and mess up his hair. If something goes wrong, it will peck Ike with its pointed beak, and several hairs will be left in one mouthful.

Ike was afraid that he would become bald at a young age without becoming stronger, so he had no choice but to let Fox dominate him.

After all, he is the principal's pet, so it is normal to have some privileges.

Unlike the phoenix in Ike Ike's memory, Fox is not that powerful. Even if it is magical enough, tears have a powerful healing effect, and singing will increase courage for those with pure hearts, and can also release people with dirty hearts. fear.Being able to enter and leave at will regardless of the anti-phantom movement barrier, feathers are also excellent magic materials.

Everything is a treasure, nothing more than that.

Although what Ike wanted to study more was whether if you skewered a phoenix and grilled it over a fire, would you get a cooked phoenix or would it be reborn from the ashes? Considering his hair, Ike gave up on this. Tempting thoughts.

However, Fox also showed many characteristics that Ike didn't know about. It was very sensitive to danger, and it also made the wizard's mood stable. He might even know some ancient magic texts, and occasionally pointed out mistakes when Ike was writing.

For this reason, Ike had several band-aids wrapped around his right hand.

Entering August means that there is only one month left for the holidays.The owl had already sent over the list of books to be prepared for the next school year, and the large number of Gilderoy Lockhart's works gave Ike a headache.

The Hogwarts scholarship is fixed every year, and twenty gold galleons means that even if Ike buys used books, the rest will only be enough to buy other things.

If he hadn't used the magic stone to get many gold items, Ike wouldn't even have pocket money.

Fortunately, Gringotts accepts gold. Although the price is very low, the galleons obtained in exchange are enough for Ike to buy the things he has planned for a long time.

For example, a box that has been cast a traceless stretching spell.

Of course, that is something that will be considered after a while. This year, Ike is not going to let Julianne send him away. He will stay in the Leaky Cauldron for a few days and then buy things for the new school year.

As for now, reading is more important.

The familiar figure under the oak tree behind the Santa Maria courtyard has returned. Perhaps it is the role of the "oak guardian". Ike will feel safe and relaxed as long as he is next to the tree.

Fox also likes this tall oak tree very much. As long as Ike sits under the tree, he will fly to the tree, jump between the branches, and even sing songs.

That was the first time Ike heard the song of Phoenix. It was indescribably sweet, and it was music that made the soul feel wonderful. Every cell in his body was cheering for joy, and the magic was boiling, and it was more active than ever.

When the singing stopped, Ike felt that his magic power had greatly increased. If he used the magic stone to turn stones into gold, Ike felt that he could directly turn into a 75-centimeter gold stick before he felt tired.

When it grows by half, it’s magic.

"The phoenix will sing a song exclusive to the person it likes, which will forever enhance the magic power of the wizard. Unfortunately, if the phoenix sings this song to this person once, it will only have an effect this time."

Dumbledore suddenly appeared under the oak tree, looked at Fawkes who was cheering among the branches, and explained to Ike with a smile.

"How does it feel?"

"Very comfortable." Ike squinted his eyes slightly and stretched, feeling indescribably comfortable.

"Fawkes hasn't been this happy for a long time." Dumbledore looked a little lost. "Phoenixes never belong to anyone. They are natural elves, born to yearn for nature."

"I can feel that this oak tree is very different, Mr. Strider." Dumbledore touched the thick trunk of the oak tree. "If you feel it with your heart, you will find that Fawkes is sorting out the magic of this tree. Although It’s faint, but it’s there.”

"It has magic power?" Ike was surprised.

"Of course, wizards will unconsciously affect the things around them, even if the impact is small, but it exists after all. If a wizard lives in the Muggle world for decades, some strange phenomena will occur. Many stories circulated in the Muggle world That’s where it comes from.”

"You should like sitting under this tree, so it will be affected by you and contaminated by your magic." Dumbledore pushed up his glasses and waved to Fawkes on the branch, and Fawkes fell on him shoulder, "In a way, you have created a magical plant, Mr. Strider."

"Really? No wonder I find it so friendly." Ike patted the tree trunk, and the branches and leaves of the oak tree swayed slightly. I don't know whether it was in response to the blowing of the wind.

"Of course, it can be said to be your child." Dumbledore blinked, "Fox has sorted out its magic power and will hide its magic fluctuations to avoid being discovered by the Ministry of Magic."

"The Ministry of Magic does not allow magical things to appear in the Muggle world."

"Then I really have to thank Fox." Ike reached out to touch Fox's head, but was pecked again. Fortunately, his hand had already been wrapped with a band-aid, so he was not injured again.

"I'm going to take Fawkes back. Thank you for taking care of him these days, Mr. Strider." Dumbledore raised his hand, and the "Hermetic Document" suddenly appeared in his hand, "I want this book It’s time to get back to where it belongs.”

"Of course." Ike's expression remained unchanged, showing no embarrassment at being caught. "It's too profound. I can't understand it at all now."

"Even I didn't understand it." Dumbledore nodded and handed a pair of gold-rimmed eyes to Ike.

Ike took it and put it on, and saw the vast and terrifying magic power in Dumbledore's body. He turned his head and saw a few thin silk threads emitting soft light on the oak tree.

"This is a pair of glasses that can make people see the magic movement better. It is a small gift from Nico. Thank you for protecting the magic stone and returning it as promised."

"Thank you." Ike thanked him sincerely.This is a very delicate alchemical work, and understanding it will make Ike's alchemy a step further.

"No need to thank you. Nico has a lot of things like this. As I said, it's just a 'little gift'." Dumbledore pushed up his glasses again and winked at Ike.

"By the way, don't worry about Trace, I won't be discovered by the Ministry of Magic." Dumbledore looked at the time and said to Ike, "I have some other things, so goodbye, Strider gentlemen."

"Goodbye, Professor Dumbledore."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a crisp "pop" sound, and Dumbledore and Fox disappeared from sight.

Ike followed Dumbledore's example and pushed up his glasses, looking at the tall oak tree, he couldn't help but smile.

"Small gift? Hahaha..."
