Harry, Ron and Draco sat around the dining table.

After hearing Phoenix's explanation, everyone couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.

There was a hint of ease and teasing in their laughter, and they were obviously enjoying this lighthearted moment.

However, Hermione's smile seemed a little forced. Her eyes revealed a hint of complicated emotions, as if she was thinking about something.

In fact, Hermione did have a bold idea before - she wanted to cast the Legilimency spell on Phoenix.

Replace all the good memories between him and Astoria with her own.

However, things went against one's wishes. Just before Hermione was about to take action, Professor Lockhart took the initiative.

However, the result was unexpected. Not only did Professor Lockhart fail, but he was easily subdued by Phoenix.

This scene made Hermione feel surprised and helpless.

Hermione thought over and over again in her mind:

"I am not as strong as Professor Lockhart. How can I succeed if I do it?"

She couldn't help but feel a little frustrated and unconvinced.

Hermione has always been a representative of excellent grades and outstanding abilities, and she has rarely tasted the taste of failure.

However, here in Phoenix, she was frequently frustrated, which made her very distressed.

Her heart seemed to be pulled by an irresistible force. The more she couldn't get something, the more she wanted it.

This emotion brewed in her heart, making her feel conflicted and struggling.

At this moment, Harry noticed Hermione's abnormality, and asked with concern:

"Hermione, what's wrong with you? You look unhappy."

Hermione came back to her senses, forced a smile, and replied:

“Oh, nothing, I was just thinking about something.”

Draco always seemed to add fuel to the fire at critical moments. He winked and said:

"I heard that you saved Miss Lovegood this afternoon. How did it feel to be a hero and save a beautiful girl?"

There was a hint of provocation in his words, as if he was deliberately trying to stir up trouble.

Draco said this while looking in Astoria's direction.

There was a hint of amusement in his eyes, and he was obviously looking forward to her reaction.

As expected, when Astoria heard the words "hero saves the beauty", her face immediately turned gloomy, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

Phoenix also realized that the situation was not good. He showed a strong desire to survive and said quickly:

"It feels really bad. If Astoria hadn't told me to, I wouldn't have bothered to save him."

There was a hint of helplessness in his words, as if he was making his position clear to Astoria.

Astoria's expression softened slightly at Phoenix's answer, but there was still a hint of doubt in her eyes.

She knew Phoenix was trying to calm her anger, but she also wanted to know the truth.

Hermione watched all this silently from the side, and she felt even more sad.

She knew that Phoenix's feelings for Astoria were genuine, but she could never get into his heart.

Yet, Hermione held back her emotions and didn't let them show.

She bit her lip lightly, trying to focus on something else.

Hermione knew that she couldn't let this emotion affect her relationship with her friends, she needed to stay calm and rational.

Ron said with a hint of envy:

"When will there be a beautiful witch for me to rescue?"

There was a hint of longing and helplessness in his tone, and he was obviously envious of Phoenix's heroic act of saving the beauty.

As a single wizard, Ron made it clear that he envied Phoenix's experience very much.

Phoenix heard Ron's words and responded helplessly:

"You can find a girlfriend too. Just look among your fans."

He tried to give Ron some advice, encouraging him to take the initiative.

However, Ron quickly shook his head and said:

"No, no, I have to leave a good impression. I can't leave an image of a scumbag in front of my fans."

Ron spoke righteously, and seemed to care very much about his image.

But Draco on the side ruthlessly exposed Ron's excuse:

"What!"

There was a hint of ridicule and mockery in Draco's tone, and it was obvious that he didn't buy Ron's words.

Draco then said to Phoenix excitedly:

"I'm telling you, last time Ron went to meet a female fan of his, this guy just stuttered and didn't dare to talk to the girl."

Draco's description was so vivid that everyone present could feel Ron's embarrassment at the time.

"Ron's face turned red. I saw it with my own eyes."

Draco added, with a hint of gloating in his words, clearly enjoying exposing Ron's embarrassing facts.

Phoenix nodded, but with a strange look in his eyes, he said:

"I don't know if Ron blushed at the time, but he is blushing now."

As soon as these words came out, Ron, who was already embarrassed, felt even more ashamed.

Draco looked back and saw that Ron's face was red all the way to his neck.

He couldn't help laughing, but at the same time he realized that he might have gone a little too far.

Ron was furious at this moment. He felt betrayed.

After all, Draco was his close friend at the time, and they had an agreement not to tell these embarrassing things to others.

Then, Ron's angry voice was heard:

"Draco, I challenge you to a wizard duel!"

There was anger and challenge in his voice, and it was clear that he had grown tired of Draco's ridicule.

Harry watched this scene helplessly, then turned to Astoria and said:

"They are like this all the time, don't be surprised."

Harry knew that fighting and quarreling among their group was common.

Harry wasn't worried about Phoenix, after all, they were pretty familiar with each other.

I must have gotten used to this kind of scene.

But he was afraid that Astoria would have a bad impression of them. After all, Astoria was very important to Phoenix.

Harry thought to himself that it would be troublesome if Astoria didn't allow Phoenix to contact them because of this.

Astoria smiled and said:

"It's okay. It's normal for boys to fight and play."

Her smile revealed understanding and tolerance, and she obviously didn't think this was a big problem.

In fact, Astoria still hopes that Phoenix can have more friends like other boys, play together, and grow up together.

But Phoenix has always been introverted and unwilling to take the initiative to make new friends, which makes Astoria feel a little distressed.

But now it seems that the relationship between Harry, Ron, Draco, Hermione and Phoenix is ​​quite good, which makes Astoria feel relieved.

She felt that as long as Phoenix was happy and could get along well with his friends, that was enough.

Phoenix looked at Astoria and felt a little warm inside.

He knew Astoria always cared about him and hoped that he could have more friends.

But he really is too lazy to expend new energy on making friends!
