Traveling through Hogwarts, just wanting to have a love affair
Chapter 157 Are You the White Phoenix?
Astoria's eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, finally settling on Phoenix.
Her eyes lit up when she saw how relaxed and even lazy he looked.
She knew that Phoenix was no ordinary man, that he had unknown powers and abilities.
Perhaps at a time like this, he could provide some help.
However, Phoenix felt Astoria's gaze and retreated.
But he just shook his head helplessly, his voice was low and firm:
"Don't count on me, Astoria. This is Hogwarts."
"Headmaster Dumbledore has the wisdom and power to protect everyone here. Luna will be fine."
He paused and continued:
"Even if the situation is bad, it's just a few broken bones, and it will recover after resting for a while."
"We can't let ourselves get into unnecessary trouble because of a momentary impulse."
Phoenix actually knew very well in his heart that once he took action, it would mean being involved in those complicated things again.
He prefers to keep a low profile and avoid drawing unnecessary attention.
Moreover, if he appeared in his White Phoenix form, his true identity would most likely be revealed, which would bring him endless trouble.
He had a more important reason in mind: Phoenix didn't want to be the "Saint Mary" who always rushed to the front line.
He smiled to himself, thinking, what if he had gone to save Luna today.
Then tomorrow there might be someone else expecting his help, and this endless cycle is not the life he wants.
He once aspired to live a peaceful and leisurely life, like a salted fish, not bound by anyone or anything.
He didn't want to change his lifestyle because of a temporary good deed, and he didn't want to be a hero in everyone's eyes.
If something happened to Luna today, something might happen to Hermione tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow maybe something might happen to Mrs. Norris.
Does he have to save them one by one?
He aspires to be a salty man, it is impossible for him to be a saint!
Astoria frowned, she was dissatisfied with Phoenix's indifference.
In her opinion, Luna's safety is far more important than the so-called trouble.
She couldn't help but angrily asked Phoenix: "What do you mean by a few broken bones at most?"
Her hand squeezed Phoenix's waist hard.
Although she knew that she couldn't force him to do anything he didn't want to do, the anxiety and worry in her heart made it impossible for her to remain silent.
Astoria had another worry in her heart - she was afraid that Phoenix would choose the wrong path in the face of pressure and darkness.
She knew very well that Phoenix had great potential, and it would be terrible if he embarked on the path of a dark wizard.
Therefore, she always hopes to guide him to do something positive.
Use kindness and justice to resist the forces that might twist his mind.
Astoria thought about it for a moment, then her cheeks flushed slightly, and she whispered in Phoenix's ear:
"Then...then if you can rescue Miss Lovegood, I will give you another reward tonight..."
There was a hint of seduction in her tone, and the effort she put into convincing Phoenix to do good.
She knew that Phoenix was not a cold person, but sometimes he was too self-protective and unwilling to easily get involved in things that might cause trouble.
Astoria hopes that this method will inspire his sense of responsibility and heroism, so that he can stand up at the critical moment.
When Phoenix heard the word "reward", the light in his eyes was instantly ignited, as if he had found a new goal and motivation.
Ever since Astoria had forbidden them from kissing on the grounds that they were too young.
Phoenix has been looking for opportunities to regain that sweet taste.
His heart was filled with a desire for that intimate contact, a feeling he would never forget.
Astoria's words seemed to give him a glimmer of hope. His heartbeat accelerated and a smug smile appeared on his face.
He cleared his throat, trying to make himself look more serious and responsible, and said:
"Actually, you're right. Sometimes, even Headmaster Dumbledore can't always be there wherever he's needed the first time."
"Just like with the Basilisk incident, we need to take action ourselves."
There was a sense of responsibility in Phoenix's tone, and he seemed to be telling himself and Astoria.
He wasn't acting for the reward, but for the safety of Hogwarts and Luna's well-being.
He continued:
"So, I feel it is my responsibility to rescue Luna."
"After all, we can't just sit back and let the Dementors run rampant in Hogwarts."
Phoenix's performance at this time fully demonstrated his wit and cheeky talent.
He skillfully turned Astoria's proposal into the driving force of his own actions, while also taking the opportunity to demonstrate his bravery and sense of responsibility.
He knew that this was not just for Astoria's reward, but also for his own sense of justice and loyalty to Hogwarts.
Astoria knew all about Phoenix's little thoughts.
She rolled her eyes at him, but her eyes didn't reveal all blame, but more of a helpless doting.
She urged in a low voice:
"Then hurry up!"
There was a hint of anxiety in his words, after all, Luna was in danger and time was running out.
Although she felt somewhat helpless about Phoenix's shamelessness, at the same time, a sweet feeling surged in her heart.
She knew that Phoenix's willingness to take action, no matter what the reason, showed that he cared about Hogwarts and her feelings.
Phoenix sensed Astoria's urging and nodded, quickly but quietly exiting the crowd of onlookers.
He ran to a hidden corner nimbly like a cheetah looking for cover.
He needed a deserted place to transform safely.
Then he used his true power to drive away the Dementors that threatened the safety of Hogwarts.
However, just as Phoenix and Astoria were focused on the crisis at hand.
They didn't notice that a cunning gaze was fixed on Phoenix.
Alison Burke, a girl who was not conspicuous in the crowd, narrowed her sharp eyes and calculated secretly in her heart.
Her eyes followed Phoenix's back closely, muttering to herself:
"Phoenix, are you the legendary White Phoenix?"
"Today, let me reveal the answer to this mystery!"
There was an expectant smile on her face, and she seemed to be very interested in the revelation of this secret.
