There was something unfathomable in Phoenix's playful smile.

He always seemed to be able to see into people's hearts, and even Astoria's subtle changes in expression did not escape his eyes.

He gently lifted Astoria's chin, and the touch of his fingertips seemed to carry magic, making her irresistible.

His voice was deep and magnetic, and every word seemed to pluck Astoria's heartstrings.

"Ms. Greengrass, your eyes tell me that you have indescribable feelings for me."

Phoenix continued to tease, his words were a little playful yet seemed to conceal a certain seriousness.

Astoria's heartbeat quickened and she felt her cheeks grow hot under Phoenix's gaze.

She tried to avoid his gaze, but Phoenix's fingers were like an iron clamp, leaving her with nowhere to escape.

She could only be forced to look him in the eye, her eyes filled with panic and shyness, these emotions were clearly visible in Phoenix's eyes.

"I...I just..."

Astoria stuttered, her words revealing her uneasiness and nervousness.

Her heart was beating like a deer and she didn't know how to express her feelings.

Phoenix seemed to see through her thoughts. He pretended to be hurt, with a tremor in his voice:

"Could it be that Miss Greengrass has no feelings for me? This really breaks my heart."

Astoria hastily denied it, her panic becoming more obvious:

"No, no...I just..."

Her words were full of urgency; she didn't want Phoenix to misunderstand her feelings.

After all, today was a very important day for her—the day they got engaged.

Astoria's cheeks were flushed with anger, and her eyes were flashing with unwillingness and annoyance.

Phoenix's mischievous eyes and teasing words made her realize that she was being teased.

She pushed Phoenix away with force, her voice trembling a little but more firm.

"You bastard, don't think I'm easy to bully!"

Astoria's voice rose a few notes, and her eyes revealed an aura that should not be underestimated.

Phoenix looked at Astoria's frustrated look and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He knew that Astoria was not a weak woman, she had her own pride and bottom line.

He smiled softly and then reached out his hand, trying to comfort her.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, don't be angry."

Phoenix's voice softened, his eyes apologetic.

“I was just joking, I didn’t expect you to be so angry.”

Astoria did not immediately accept Phoenix's apology.

She pouted and turned her head away from Phoenix.

Although she was a little shaken in her heart, she still maintained her pride.

Well, that is tsundere.

"Huh, do you think an apology can solve the problem?"

Astoria snorted coldly and muttered in a low voice:

"Just wait and see, you bastard Phoenix!"

Phoenix couldn't help but feel a little amused when he saw Astoria's stubborn look.

He walked gently to her side, stretched out his hand, gently stroked her hair, and said softly:

"Astoria, I know you're angry, but I really hope you can forgive me."

"I didn't mean to embarrass you, I just... just wanted to see your true side."

Astoria's body trembled slightly, she could feel Phoenix's sincerity.

She turned her head and looked into Phoenix's eyes, and found that there was no more mischief in his eyes, only deep apology and concern.

"Okay, I forgive you."

Astoria's voice softened and she sighed softly.

"But you are not allowed to do this again, understand?"

Phoenix nodded, a relieved smile on his face.

He gently held Astoria's hand and said seriously:

“I promise, it will never happen again. I will respect you, protect you, and make you the happiest person in the world.”

A smile finally appeared on Astoria's face.

There was a hint of doting in Phoenix's helplessness, and his eyes once again fell on the photos that recorded their shared memories.

He asked Astoria softly, with no reproach in his tone, only curiosity and a hint of joking:

"How did you take these photos?"

"I remember that you can't bring Muggle items into Hogwarts, right?"

Astoria replied in a low voice, with a hint of pride in her voice:

"It's an alchemical item. It was the present my father gave me for my 10th birthday."

She knew that, despite Hogwarts's rules, there were always exceptions in the wizarding world.

Especially when it comes to an ancient art like alchemy.

Astoria felt a little uneasy as she realized that her collection of Phoenix photos might have crossed the line of privacy.

Privacy is also respected in the wizarding world, although the specific laws may differ from those in the Muggle world.

She worried that her actions might be seen as an invasion of Phoenix's privacy, especially without his consent.

Phoenix, however, didn't seem offended.

Influenced by the information explosion in his previous life, he has a more open attitude towards such things.

In his opinion, Astoria's behavior was just to leave some good memories between lovers, and there was nothing wrong with it.

He comforted Astoria softly:

"Okay, okay, I won't bully you. Don't be angry."

He hugged her tenderly, trying to ease her anxiety.

Astoria pouted and turned her head away, not looking at Phoenix, but she was slowly beginning to feel relieved.

She occasionally snorted coldly and muttered in a low voice:

"Damn Phoenix!"

While it may sound like a complaint, it is actually more of an intimate rebuke, revealing her deep affection for Phoenix.
