Traveling through Hogwarts, just wanting to have a love affair

Phoenix nodded slightly, his movements revealing a sense of calmness and understanding.

He walked towards the photos, his eyes full of appreciation and tenderness.

Each photo was carefully selected and arranged by Astoria.

Recording his different expressions and postures, each one carries her deep affection for him.

Astoria was truly relieved when she saw that there was no dissatisfaction on Phoenix's face.

She was filled with mixed emotions. On the one hand, she was worried that Phoenix would think this was an invasion of his privacy, but on the other hand, she hoped that he could feel her feelings.

She followed Phoenix and they looked at the photos together.

Phoenix roughly counted and found that there were more than 20 photos of him in the entire room.

They were strategically placed in various corners of the room, and there was even one on the ceiling, as if Astoria's first thought every day when she woke up was of him.

Phoenix noticed the location of the photo, and realized that Astoria would be able to see him once she opened her eyes, and it made him feel warm inside.

He turned around and looked at Astoria, her little face was flushed at this moment, with a hint of shyness and uneasiness in her eyes.

Astoria reached out and tugged at Phoenix's fingers, whispering:

"Why don't you stop looking at these and take a rest."

There was a hint of pleading in her voice, and she was breaking down inside because Phoenix had been looking at the pictures.

He nodded from time to time, which made her feel both sweet and awkward.

This made Astoria really not know what to do, and she felt like her little secret had been made public.

She was usually very careful about her room and would not allow even her closest people, her father and sister Daphne, to enter at will.

And now, the only person who can enter and leave her boudoir freely is Phoenix.

Phoenix didn't realize it immediately, he just felt honored to be trusted and valued.

Phoenix's emotions surged like a tide, and he was deeply touched by Astoria's sincere feelings.

In this small room filled with her heart, every photo is a testimony to her emotions.

Every arrangement reveals her thoughts and care for him.

His heart was filled with warmth and gratitude, and he decided to respond to her feelings with actions.

He hugged Astoria and sat lightly on the soft bed.

His movements were gentle yet firm, revealing his cherishment and love for her.

He gently pressed Astoria against his legs, letting her feel the warmth and strength of his embrace.

He looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of pampering and love, and said softly:

"Okay, it's all up to you."

Astoria was caught off guard by his sudden action, her body stiffening a little in Phoenix's lap.

Although she felt a little shy and uneasy, she saw the photos in the room that recorded every detail of their lives.

She felt an indescribable sweetness and guilty conscience again.

She knew the photos were her innermost secrets, a direct expression of her feelings for Phoenix.

She gently patted Phoenix's shoulder and said in her sweet and soft voice with a hint of coquettishness:

"Hurry...put me down!"

There was a hint of a request in her voice, but more of an intimate reproach.

However, this sound was an irresistible temptation for Phoenix.

Astoria's coquettishness and her sweet voice made him feel an unprecedented heartbeat, and he couldn't help but hug her tighter.

He knew that this was a man's uncontrollable instinctive reaction when faced with the coquettish behavior of his beloved woman.

Phoenix whispered in Astoria's ear:

"That's impossible!"

There was a hint of amusement and insistence in his voice that showed he had no intention of letting her go just yet.

He wanted to feel more of her warmth, to enjoy the intimacy and warmth between them.

Astoria's heartbeat quickened at the warmth of Phoenix's breath against her ear.

Her body stiffened involuntarily for a moment, then gradually calmed down as her heartbeat slowed down.

Her body also began to soften, as if she had found a safe haven in Phoenix's arms.

Phoenix noticed the subtle change in Astoria, and a gleam of pride flashed in his eyes.

He knew Astoria's sensitive spots well, her ears being one of her weak spots.

Whenever he whispered in her ear, it always made her heart beat faster and her face blush.

This little secret always gives him the upper hand in their interactions.

Astoria knew she couldn't resist Phoenix's gentle advances.

She had no choice but to accept the situation and gently lay on Phoenix's body.

Her little head rested naturally on his shoulder, almost giving most of her body weight to him, her trust and dependence were fully demonstrated at this moment.

Phoenix felt Astoria's weight, but found that she was so light that she barely felt any burden.

A desire to protect her surged in his heart, wanting to give her more warmth and security.

He gently adjusted his position so Astoria could lean against him more comfortably.

At this moment, Phoenix felt that Astoria in his arms was like a pillow, a soft and warm pillow that exuded a faint fragrance.

Her hair brushed against his cheek, bringing a slight tingling sensation and endless warmth.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and felt her unique scent. His heart was filled with satisfaction and happiness.

Astoria began to relax in Phoenix's arms, her breathing evened out and a reassuring smile spread across her face.

The two of them just remained in this position quietly, and the air around them seemed to become softer because of their warm communication.

They started chatting about some daily trivialities and some light and interesting gossip.

They enjoy this way of communication very much because they can open their hearts completely to each other without reservation.

Phoenix's sense of humor is like the spice in their conversation, always making Astoria laugh inadvertently.

Her laughter was clear and sweet, like a string of beautiful notes, adding more joy and ease to their conversation.

Astoria is like a treasure, always able to share some fresh gossip she knows.

Phoenix, who originally didn't care much about the school's social circle.

You can also feel the lives and personalities of the people around you more vividly.

He felt that the tacit understanding between him and Astoria was so natural and profound, as if their souls were closely connected somewhere.

Astoria felt that special connection, too.

She found that she could be herself in front of Phoenix without any scruples.

Whether it was her laughter, her thoughts, or her little secrets, she could share them with him without reservation.

She knew that no matter what she said, Phoenix would listen patiently and give her support and understanding.

As the conversation deepened, their relationship became closer unknowingly.

They began to share more of each other's dreams, hopes, and worries, even some of their deepest thoughts that they had never shared with anyone else.

In these lighthearted conversations, Phoenix can't help but sometimes become thoughtful:

"It turns out that there really is someone in this world who is so compatible with me."
