Narcissa's gaze crossed the room and fell on Phoenix. There was both worry and helplessness in her eyes.

There was a barely perceptible trace of fatigue on Phoenix's face, but there was a determination gleam in his eyes.

Narcissa knew that no matter what she said, Phoenix had already made his decision.

She sighed softly, with a hint of heaviness in her voice, and said:

"Phoenix, the professors have informed us of what happened between you and Astoria at school."

"They are concerned about the impact your relationship will have on the reputation of the college and your future."

Phoenix didn't answer immediately, he knew that there was more worry and concern in his mother's words.

He took a deep breath and said slowly:

"Mother, I know you and father are worried. But the relationship between Astoria and I was not a spur-of-the-moment thing."

"We love each other deeply, and..."

He paused, then continued.

"Also, I have a way to lift the Greengrass family curse."

There was a hint of surprise in Narcissa's eyes. She didn't expect Phoenix to answer like this.

"What did you say?"

There was a tremor in her voice.

"You mean, you have a way to lift that curse?"

Phoenix nodded, his eyes full of determination.

"Yes, mother. I am the White Phoenix, and I have the power to lift the curse of the Blood Curse Orcs."

"As long as Astoria and I are together, the curse will be gone."

Narcissa's face showed an expression of disbelief, she covered her mouth, her eyes full of shock.

“This…how is this possible?” There was a tremor in her voice.

“Are you sure, Phoenix? This is not a joke.”

Phoenix nodded seriously, no trace of joking in his eyes.

"I am quite sure, Mother. I do not joke about such things."

"Astoria means so much to me that I would do anything for her, including lifting the curse."

A bright smile spread across Narcissa's face, and her mood seemed to be brightened by the sunshine.

She said in surprise:

"That would be the best."

Her voice was full of excitement and anticipation.

Narcissa had actually always been concerned about the curse on the Greengrass family, but she was very optimistic about Astoria herself.

Not only does Astoria come from a noble pure-blood family, but she and Phoenix also have a deep bond.

This made her an ideal daughter-in-law in the eyes of Narcissa and Lucius.

Narcissa continued:

"Then I will go to Greengrass Manor in a few days to discuss your engagement."

"Phoenix, you should come too. After all, this is a major event in your life."

There was a mother's pride and concern in her tone.

Phoenix nodded quickly, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

"We really have to get engaged. This is the first time in two lifetimes!"

His heart is filled with longing for the future and determination in love.

At this moment, Draco suddenly interrupted:

"Um...Mom, has anyone invited you to discuss my engagement?"

There was a hint of ridicule in his tone, but more of it was reluctance.

He felt that he was no worse than Phoenix, so why didn't anyone come to discuss his engagement specifically?

Draco continued:

"And it was the woman's family who personally proposed to the man's relatives!"

"When can I enjoy this treatment?"

There was a hint of envy and self-mockery in his words.

Narcissa's laughter echoed softly in the air. She covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes gleaming with amusement, and said:

"Yes, I have!"

Draco's eyes lit up instantly, as if he saw the dawn of hope, and he asked eagerly:

"Who?"

Narcissa stretched out her voice deliberately.

"There are many, such as Pansy..."

However, before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Draco. He said unhappily:

"They are just jealous of our family's status in the wizarding world, which is different from Phoenix's."

"I want someone who is fascinated by me and wants to get engaged to me!"

Narcissa was silent for a moment, then spoke frankly:

"No."

Draco's expression became a little disappointed for a moment, but he quickly adjusted his mood and tried to hide his disappointment with humor.

Phoenix looked at his brother and couldn't help but feel a surge of sympathy.

He suppressed his smile and comforted her:

"It's okay. You are one of the auspicious beasts now. You still have a lot of female fans in Hogwarts."

"Why don't you take a look and see if there is anything that suits your taste?"

Draco sighed and said:

"Nothing has been found yet, otherwise I would have taken action long ago."

There was a hint of helplessness in his voice, but it also revealed an expectation for the future.

Narcissa looked at her two sons with a smile, her attitude was open and tolerant.

In her heart, the open-mindedness of the West and her love for her sons make her not worry about them falling in love too early.

She even supported them silently in her heart:

"Sons, go and get the cabbages from other people's houses!"

Phoenix and Draco spent a rather leisurely two weeks at home, enjoying the warmth and tranquility of their family.

Phoenix has done nothing but spend time with his family during this time.

He also kept in touch with Astoria, and the two shared each other's daily lives and feelings through letters.

Every time Phoenix received a letter from Astoria, a happy smile appeared on his face.

When he wrote back, he always chose his words carefully, and his words were full of love and expectation.

During this time, Phoenix also revealed to Astoria that he would be heading to Greengrass Manor.

He hopes to discuss the future with her and take their relationship to the next level.

Astoria expressed great support and expectations for this.

As for Dobby, Narcissa decided to give it to Harry after careful consideration.

This was out of consideration for Dobby and also a trust in Harry.

Although Dobby left the Malfoy family, he found a new life and goal in Harry.

However, as time went by, the atmosphere at home suddenly changed.

One morning, Lucius suddenly returned home, and his appearance made the originally cheerful dinner table unusually heavy.

Draco felt an unprecedented pressure. He didn't even dare to look up at his father's eyes. His heart was filled with anxiety.

Phoenix also chose to remain silent. Although he didn't know what exactly happened, he could feel the serious atmosphere emanating from his father.

He knew that at this moment, any thoughtless words might escalate the tense atmosphere.

Only Narcissa was trying to lighten the mood at the table, she kept talking to everyone, trying to put the family at ease in her way.

She said to Phoenix and Draco:

"Come on, Phoenix, Draco, have some of this."

Then he turned to Lucius and asked with concern:

"Lucius, has your work been going smoothly these days?"

Although her efforts did not immediately change the atmosphere at the dinner table, her care and efforts made the family feel a little warm.
