Astoria opened her eyes drowsily, and the sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains onto the warm bed.

She turned around and found Phoenix sitting on the bed, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes, as if thinking about something.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, yawned, and asked:

"Phoenix, are you awake so early?"

There was a hint of laziness in her voice, and it was obvious that she had not yet fully woken up from her sleep.

Astoria thought Phoenix had woken up early, after all, she knew Phoenix had the habit of taking a nap.

She remembered that he always liked to find a quiet place in the afternoon sun to enjoy a leisurely nap.

However, Phoenix turned around, with a trace of fatigue and helplessness on his face, and said:

"I said I have insomnia, do you believe me?"

There was a hint of hoarseness in his voice, and it was obvious that he did not get a good night's rest.

He also wanted to sleep, but every time he closed his eyes, some... disturbing images would involuntarily emerge in his mind.

Those images were like yellow waste, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Moreover, his body seemed to be protesting, making it impossible for him to sleep peacefully.

Astoria tilted her head. As a girl, she might not be able to fully understand Phoenix's distress at the moment.

Astoria believed Phoenix's words. She frowned slightly and asked with concern:

"Then should we go to Professor Snape and ask for a bottle of potion?"

"Maybe he can give you some help."

Phoenix shook his head and said firmly:

"Need not."

He knew in his heart that if he really went to see Professor Snape, those sharp eyes would definitely see through his thoughts immediately.

Professor Snape was famous for his insight, and Phoenix didn't want his embarrassment to become a laughing stock in the professor's eyes.

He added lightly:

"It's really nothing, I just couldn't sleep today."

There was a hint of relief in his voice, trying to reassure Astoria.

Astoria saw Phoenix refuse, sighed, and said:

"Ok."

She knew that everyone had trouble sleeping occasionally, and maybe Phoenix just needed some time to adjust.

So she put the matter behind her and turned her attention to the Care of Magical Creatures class in the afternoon.

She thought it would be a good opportunity to take Phoenix out into the forest and get some fresh air.

Relaxing the mind may help him get rid of his insomnia.

The two of them packed up and went to the place where they would have class today.

The sunlight shines through the treetops and falls on them, bringing a touch of warmth.

Phoenix yawned all the way and looked a little tired. People who didn't know him would think he had stayed up all night.

Astoria glanced at him from time to time, her eyes filled with worry, but she didn't say anything else.

They soon arrived at today's destination - a forest surrounding the Forbidden Forest.

The trees here are towering into the clouds, and the sunlight can only shine through the gaps between the leaves and onto the ground in patches.

Although they did not actually enter the Forbidden Forest, the surrounding environment was enough to make the young wizards feel nervous and uneasy.

Astoria was no exception. She looked around nervously, afraid that some unknown creature would suddenly jump out from some corner.

She subconsciously grabbed Phoenix's hand, interlocking their fingers tightly, as if looking for a sense of security.

Headmaster Dumbledore has emphasized the dangers of the Forbidden Forest countless times, describing it as a mysterious place full of unknowns and dangers.

It seemed that all the dangers in the world were gathered there.

This description makes every Hogwarts student feel awe and fear of the Forbidden Forest.

However, Phoenix was not so afraid. His strength gave him enough confidence to face any possible danger.

As a time traveler, he believed that his strength and wisdom were enough to allow him to navigate this magical world with ease.

He even laughed secretly in his heart. These days, if a time traveler didn't have the ability to explode, he would be embarrassed to even leave the Novice Village.

Phoenix yawned and comforted Astoria in a relaxed tone:

"It's okay, it's okay. This place is not actually within the forbidden forest, so don't be nervous."

There was a hint of a smile in his voice, trying to ease her nerves.

Astoria nodded, but her hand still tightly held Phoenix's hand, as if only this could make her feel a little at ease.

The students around him also began to relax gradually and started to observe the surrounding environment.

I am full of curiosity and anticipation for the upcoming Care of Magical Creatures class.

But soon, today's little wizards discovered the young couple Phoenix and Astoria.

Their eyes instantly became strange, wandering back and forth between the two of them with a hint of curiosity and teasing.

Most eyes were still on Phoenix, as if silently conveying some message.

Phoenix got goosebumps from all those looks, but he could only pretend not to see them.

He knew in his heart that sometimes the best way to deal with something was to pretend nothing happened.

As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind, he tried his best to shift his attention to the upcoming class.

In this strange atmosphere, Hagrid slowly walked out from a corner.

His figure seemed particularly tall in the forest, and he was holding a magical animal in his hand - a hippogriff.

The feathers of this Hegriffin gleamed with metallic luster in the sun, and his eyes revealed a sense of nobility and unruliness.

Phoenix looked at the hippogriff curiously.

Although he had seen this creature in videos, it was obviously more shocking to see it in real life.

It was even bigger than he had imagined, and when its wings spread, they almost covered half the sky.

There was a gleam of wisdom in its eyes, and it seemed to be examining every wizard who approached it.

This shocking feeling is like if zombies suddenly appear in reality one day, you will definitely feel surprised (scared)!

Hagrid stood in front of the little wizards, looking a little nervous.

This was his second time teaching Magical Creatures, and the first experience had already made him feel stressed.

He remembered that Harry, Ron, Hermione and Draco were all present in the morning class.

Draco's personality has changed a lot and he is no longer the arrogant Slytherin.

Therefore, he was not injured by the Hippogriff like in the original book.

Phoenix looked at Hagrid, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.

He knew that this world was already very different from the original work, and Draco's change was just the tip of the iceberg. Future changes might be even more drastic.

He couldn't help but start to wonder what impact these changes would have on him and Astoria.

Hagrid cleared his throat and began his self-introduction:

"My name is Rubeus Hagrid, and I will be your future professor of Magical Creatures."

His voice echoed through the forest, carrying a hint of anticipation and pride.

Phoenix squinted his eyes and observed the giant Hagrid.

He remembered that he and Hagrid had not been close.

The only time they had come into contact was during his first year, when he went to pick up some items from Hagrid.

Therefore, Phoenix decided not to take the initiative to contact Hagrid.

He wasn't the type of person who liked to pay for something, as long as Hagrid didn't affect his and Astoria's lives.

He won't interfere too much.

He prefers to keep a certain distance, observe and learn, rather than blindly participate.

Hagrid was unaware of Phoenix's inner drama; he was concentrating on introducing the Hippogriff.

He explained in detail the habits and characteristics of these magical creatures and how to communicate with them.

Hagrid's words were filled with love and respect for these creatures.

He hopes that through his teaching, more students will understand and fall in love with these magical creatures.

As Hagrid explained, the tension of the little wizards gradually eased and they began to take an interest in Hagrid Fen.

Phoenix and Astoria were no exception, they listened carefully to every word Hagrid said.

Observing the Hippogriff's every move, hoping to learn some useful knowledge from it.
