In the forbidden forest, sunlight shines through the tall French windows and onto the stone floor that is covered with traces of time.

Phoenix, a lovely "female" wizard, stands in front of a wooden pier.

There were neat rows of copper pots and shining silverware, and the air was filled with the fragrance of fresh herbs and earth.

"First, start by cutting the vegetables."

Grindelwald's voice was deep and powerful. In his hand he held a yellowed cookbook that recorded ancient magical recipes.

Phoenix took a deep breath. She knew that this was not just about learning how to cook, but also a spiritual practice.

But this was a piece of cake for her. She often cooked for herself in her previous life, so she had developed good cooking skills.

She gently placed a piece of fresh carrot on the cutting board, pressing lightly with her fingers.

The blade slid along the curve of the carrot, and evenly sliced ​​pieces unfolded like petals and fell onto a plate beside it.

Although Phoenix's movements were slow, each cut seemed extremely serious.

Her eyes were focused, and the sunlight shone through the window onto her profile, outlining her smiling figure.

Next comes making tea.

Phoenix carefully picked a few leaves of tender green tea leaves, rubbed them gently between his fingertips, and emitted a faint fragrance.

She placed the tea leaves in a fine porcelain teapot and lifted a pot of freshly boiled water.

The water cascades down like a waterfall, meeting the tea leaves, instantly stirring up a burst of fresh tea fragrance.

Phoenix knew that this was what she had to do, she had to forget her own powerful strength.

Only then can you be humble and achieve the goal of controlling your own power.

Finally, it’s painting.

Phoenix sat in front of the canvas, brush in hand, her mood had calmed down a lot.

She began to lay lines on the canvas, each stroke filled with power and determination.

She painted a peaceful forest, with sunlight shining through the gaps between the leaves and onto the ground, creating mottled light and shadows.

But from time to time her brush would paint some funny little animals or leave some funny annotations on the canvas.

Profile description: The forest on the canvas gradually comes to life, but it is also mixed with Phoenix's sense of humor.

Her brushstrokes jump on the canvas, as if her inner fluctuations have found an outlet on the canvas, bringing laughter at the same time.

As time went by, Phoenix's paintings gradually became complete.

Time flies, and two weeks have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Phoenix stayed in the Forbidden Forest almost the whole day, and only returned to the dormitory to rest at night.

He has been focusing on cultivation, hoping to improve his strength and realm.

This is a big time for Phoenix.

He needs to constantly explore and break through himself in order to better cope with future challenges.

Although life during this period was rather monotonous, he felt very fulfilled.

At the same time, Astoria also knew that Phoenix was working hard on his training.

She understood and supported his decision, believing it was very important for his growth.

She believes Phoenix has the ability to overcome difficulties and achieve greater success.

"Well, then you should cultivate your character."

Astoria said with a helpless sigh.

However, when Astoria opened her eyes drowsily one morning, she was surprised to find Phoenix appear in front of her.

At this time, Phoenix had returned to his boyish appearance, leaving Astoria at a loss for a moment.

She stared at Phoenix blankly, feeling a complicated emotion welling up in her heart.

She thought to herself:

"This guy was pretty when he was a girl... Humph!"

Despite this, she had to admit that Phoenix did have a unique charm at this moment.

However, at this moment, Phoenix slowly opened his eyes and said softly:

"Good morning, Astoria."

Astoria looked at Phoenix helplessly and responded:

"It's already ten o'clock. Is this still called morning? And today is the weekend!"

Astoria was about to get up and wash up, but Phoenix pulled her back into bed again.

"Stay with me for a while longer. The old man said that I don't need to go to the Forbidden Forest anymore. I can just practice in the dormitory."

Although Astoria was a little annoyed, when she saw Phoenix's exhausted expression, she finally lay obediently in his arms.

Astoria knew that Phoenix had been working hard to learn book knowledge in recent times.

I spend a lot of time practicing every day, and sometimes I don’t even have time to eat.

These days, Phoenix seems to be leisurely cultivating his character every day.

However, only he himself knew that he had actually been forced by Grindelwald to read a large number of books.

This kind of life often makes Phoenix feel sleepy, and even Astoria feels distressed about it.

After a while, Astoria saw that Phoenix had not woken up yet, so she gently shook his shoulders and whispered:

"Phoenix, wake up, it's already noon, we should go have lunch!"

Phoenix opened his eyes drowsily, yawned loudly, and then slowly got up from the bed.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes, stretched, and then slowly sat up.

Astoria couldn't help but chuckle when she saw how cute Phoenix was.

Astoria's fingers gently slid over the edge of the washbasin, and water droplets dripped along her fingertips, making a slight dripping sound.

Her eyes seemed a little blurry through the mist in the bathroom.

While gently wiping her face with a towel, she couldn't help but ask Phoenix outside the door out of curiosity.

"So, can you say that your training is now complete?"

There was a hint of anticipation in her voice, but also a hint of worry that was barely perceptible.

She was actually a little reluctant to let Phoenix go, not because she didn't want Phoenix to become stronger, but because she was reluctant to let him go.

Astoria kept echoing these thoughts in her mind:

"Phoenix is ​​still a child, and he is under so much pressure every day..."

She worries that Phoenix is ​​shouldering too many responsibilities that aren't appropriate for someone her age.

"And you don't have time to accompany me..."

She added silently in her heart, with a hint of childish grievance in her voice.

She missed the leisurely times they spent together.

Astoria didn't know at this time that Phoenix had been working so hard because of some cursed thing.

This secret weighed on Phoenix's heart like a heavy stone.

Phoenix nodded lazily, and her voice came through the crack of the bathroom door with a hint of relief:

"more or less."

She knew that maintaining habits as Grindelwald had mentioned was not only a part of practice, but also an attitude towards life.

Astoria came out of the bathroom, gently wiping her wet hair with a towel.

She looked at Phoenix, with a hint of complicated emotions in her eyes:

"That's good. I was really worried that you were pushing yourself too hard."

Phoenix walked forward gently, her movements gentle and careful, as if she was afraid of disturbing the tranquility.

She hugged Astoria, then placed a soft kiss on the girl's forehead and whispered:

"It's fine."

This simple action, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, brings a touch of warmth and comfort.

Astoria was startled by this sudden tenderness. Her cheeks flushed involuntarily and she muttered in a low voice:

"You just take advantage of me..."

Although the voice was small, it revealed a hint of sweet shyness.

Phoenix felt extremely satisfied as he watched Astoria blush.

His smile was as bright as the sun, and his eyes sparkled with longing for a better life in the future.

"I can already imagine our happy life in the future."

He thought silently in his heart, as if he had already seen the warm scene of the two of them walking hand in hand in the sunset.

Astoria suddenly asked in a low voice. Her eyes were a little evasive, but she still glanced at Phoenix secretly:

"By the way, do you...do you have anything to do in the next few days?"

There was a hint of anticipation in her voice, and it seemed to hide a little secret.

Phoenix did not notice anything unusual about Astoria, and he replied easily:

"There shouldn't be anything to worry about in the future, so I can accompany you."

His words reveal a deep affection and commitment to Astoria.

Astoria was delighted, but soon she calmed down. She nodded naturally and said:

"Ok."

In her heart, she was silently planning to give Phoenix a surprise:

"Phoenix's birthday is in a few days. I guess this guy has forgotten it. Really!"

She gently blamed him in her mind, but she couldn't help but feel excited about the upcoming birthday party.

Phoenix looked at Astoria in confusion, but didn't take it seriously. He just thought that the girl wanted him to accompany her.

He stroked Astoria's hair gently, feeling her tenderness and dependence.

Astoria was silently planning in her heart. She wanted to give Phoenix an unforgettable birthday.

She imagined the scene of that day: a carefully decorated room, a table full of delicious food, and a cake she had made herself.

She wanted Phoenix to feel her love and care.

Let him know that no matter what the future holds, she will always be by his side.
