In the corridors of Hogwarts, Phoenix and Astoria were enjoying a rare moment of peace and quiet.

However, just as they were about to leave, a fiery red phoenix suddenly flew in from the window and landed gracefully in front of them.

The phoenix's feathers shine golden in the sun, and its eyes are deep and mysterious, as if they can see into people's hearts.

Phoenix and Astoria looked at each other and read surprise in each other's eyes.

They recognized the phoenix; it was Headmaster Dumbledore's pet, Fawkes.

The appearance of Fox usually indicates important news or an emergency.

Fox didn't say anything. It just pointed its sharp claws gently at Phoenix, and then stood there quietly, as if waiting for something.

Astoria quickly figured out what it meant.

"It seems that Headmaster Dumbledore wants to see you,"

Astoria said softly, a hint of reluctance in her voice.

"Then go ahead. I'll wait for you in the library."

Phoenix nodded, although he was somewhat reluctant.

He knew that the time he spent with Astoria was always warm and enjoyable.

Going to see Headmaster Dumbledore means facing potentially serious topics or difficult tasks.

He complained silently in his heart:

"What's going on again? It's really troublesome!"

He would rather spend the afternoon with Astoria than meet an old man.

However, he also knew that Headmaster Dumbledore was the leader of Hogwarts and his orders could not be disobeyed.

Moreover, his teacher, the great wizard Grindelwald, has a complicated relationship with Headmaster Dumbledore.

Although they have a deep friendship, they are also competitors.

Phoenix knew that Grindelwald would probably be very angry if he ignored Dumbledore's call.

He didn't want to get into trouble because of his negligence.

Phoenix took a deep breath, his eyes filled with reluctance to leave Astoria.

He stroked her hand gently, feeling the softness and warmth of her skin, which calmed him down a little.

He squeezed Astoria's hand for a second, then slowly loosened it, turning around and grabbing Fox's tail.

In a flash of dazzling light, they teleported together to the headmaster's office at Hogwarts.

The office door opened automatically the moment they appeared, as if it had anticipated their arrival.

As soon as he stepped into the office, Phoenix saw someone he was reluctant to see - his teacher, Grindelwald.

Grindelwald's figure seemed particularly tall in the dim office, and his eyes were sharp, as if he could see through people's souls.

Phoenix's heart tightened, but he quickly comforted himself:

"Fortunately I came here, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!"

He knew that Grindelwald had high expectations of him, and if he did not respond to the call in time, the consequences could be very serious.

However, his relief did not last long. Grindelwald suddenly stretched out his hand and punched Phoenix on the head.

The punch was so powerful that Phoenix felt a black screen before his eyes and pain spread throughout his body in an instant.

"Ah, it hurts!"

Phoenix couldn't help but scream, and his body involuntarily took five steps back and almost fell down.

He covered his head with his hands, his eyes full of confusion and grievance.

"Why did you hit me?"

Phoenix asked with grievance, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.

He didn't understand why Grindelwald suddenly attacked him.

Grindelwald's cold snort echoed in the office, and his eyes revealed a kind of disappointment that came from not being able to make the best use of one's talents.

His voice was low and powerful, and every word hit Phoenix's heart like a hammer.

"Why did I hit you?"

Grindelwald repeated the question, as if waiting for Phoenix to realize his mistake.

"Think about it carefully, or don't go back to sleep today."

There was sternness in his words, but more of it was expectations and teachings for Phoenix.

Grindelwald hopes that Phoenix can recognize his mistakes on his own instead of having others point them out to him every time.

Phoenix stood there, looking at Grindelwald's angry expression, his heart filled with confusion.

He didn't know why the teacher was so angry, but he could feel an inexplicable guilt, as if he had really done something wrong.

He couldn't help but think in his heart that this might be the legendary blood suppression, which made him always feel an invisible pressure in front of Grindelwald.

At this moment, Headmaster Dumbledore spoke. His voice was gentle and full of wisdom, with a kind smile on his face.

"Gellert, don't scare the child, be gentle."

There was a hint of teasing in Dumbledore's words, which seemed to ease the tense atmosphere.

However, these were just polite words. The anger in Grindelwald's eyes did not diminish because of Dumbledore's words.

His eyes were still sharp, as if telling Phoenix that his problems were not over yet.

Phoenix squatted in the corner, his brows furrowed and a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

His fingers tapped the ground unconsciously, which was his habitual action when thinking.

His mind raced back, trying to figure out what might have caused Grindelwald's anger.

He thought back to an incident earlier in the day when he and Alison had had an unpleasant conversation.

Phoenix took a deep breath and decided to ask tentatively to see if he could find the answer.

He raised his head, looked at Grindelwald firmly, and asked in a slightly nervous voice:

"Is it about Alison?"

Although his voice was not loud, it was unusually clear in the quiet office.
