Astoria's voice sounded outside the door, with a hint of playfulness.

She knew Phoenix could sometimes take a little time to get out of bed, especially after a night of adventure.

She leaned out and urged:

"Hurry up, or there will be no breakfast!"

There was a hint of laughter in her voice, but also a sense of urgency.

Phoenix adjusted his appearance in front of the mirror in the bathroom.

After hearing Astoria's words, he nodded and responded:

"okay."

There was a hint of relief in his voice, and even though his eyes were still a little blurry, he didn't want to worry her.

Then, the two of them walked out of the dormitory together and headed towards the auditorium.

In the early morning on campus, the sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, shining on them, bringing a touch of warmth.

Their steps were brisk and their moods cheerful, though there was still a hint of fatigue in Phoenix's eyes.

When they arrived at the Great Hall, Draco was already waiting there.

He is like a fixed NPC in the game, always appearing in a fixed place at a fixed time.

Seeing Phoenix, Draco immediately came over and grabbed his arm.

Then they dragged him into their private cafeteria without any explanation.

Phoenix did not resist, he knew Draco's good intentions, and he really needed a quiet place to rest.

Although his body was tired, his heart was full of gratitude.

He knew that Draco was a friend he could trust.

Phoenix kept his hand tightly held on Astoria's as Draco pulled him away.

He didn't want her to feel neglected, nor did he want her to worry.

Astoria felt the warmth in his hands, and her heart was filled with relief and happiness.

Draco had become so accustomed to their intimacy that he even began to consciously ignore it.

He thought jokingly that every time he saw them like this, he felt like he was eating dog food, with a mouth full of sweetness.

But there was no jealousy in his heart, only blessings for his friends.

The four of them walked into the private cafeteria together, a quiet and comfortable place away from the hustle and bustle of the auditorium.

When Draco Malfoy stepped into the Hogwarts common room.

He found Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley already seated around a long table, enjoying their morning meal.

The sun shone through the tall windows onto them, and the air was filled with the aroma of baking bread and hot chocolate.

He quickly walked to Phoenix, with a serious and urgent look on his face, and said:

"I discovered something disturbing last night."

"An extremely dangerous dark wizard may have sneaked into Hogwarts. His abilities are so powerful that he is almost like a ghost and elusive."

Draco continued:

"Phoenix, I know you like to go it alone sometimes, but you have to be extra careful these days."

"If you encounter this dark wizard, do not hesitate, use teleportation immediately to get out of there."

"And Astoria, you too, you must keep an eye on Phoenix during this time and don't let him run around all the time."

"…………"

"........."

"..."

Draco Malfoy stood between them, an unusual note of concern in his tone.

This makes him look a bit like a nagging old woman.

He kept talking, as if wanting to make sure everyone realized the seriousness of the situation.

Phoenix nodded seriously on the surface to show his understanding, but he was silently complaining in his heart.

He thought:

"What dark wizard? That's me. Am I that scary?"

"Am I so terrible in their hearts?"

He felt somewhat amused and somewhat dissatisfied with Draco's description.

"And it's the same as a ghost. How do you describe it? It's very disrespectful, isn't it?"

He muttered to himself but didn't show it.

Astoria Greengrass, Draco's wife, sat nearby.

There was a hint of playful smile in her eyes as she looked at Draco's nervous look.

She agreed softly:

"Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be optimistic about him."

There was a hint of relief in her voice because she was the only one who knew the truth.

She knew exactly what happened last night, so she wasn't as nervous as the others.

Harry Potter interrupted at this time:

"We have informed Headmaster Dumbledore, and he takes this matter very seriously."

"He said he had sent Fawkes and the professors to search all of Hogwarts."

There was a hint of seriousness in Harry's voice. He knew the importance of this matter and hoped that it could be resolved as soon as possible.

Hermione Granger added:

"We also hope that Fox can find clues. After all, it has helped us a lot in the past."

There was a glimmer of hope in her eyes, and she believed in Dumbledore's wisdom and Fawkes' ability.

Ron Weasley had a determined look on his face. He clenched his fists and said:

"Whoever that dark wizard is, we will not let him hurt anyone at Hogwarts. We will protect our home."

Phoenix sat at one end of the long table, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

He knew his identity was a secret in this conversation.

So even though he had thousands of words in his heart, he could only choose to remain silent and nod silently to show his agreement.

He began to eat his breakfast in silence, but in his mind he was planning how to end this conversation as quickly as possible so that he could have a rest.

He was exhausted by last night's events and needed some time to recover.

At this moment, Astoria suddenly pretended to be a curious baby, blinked her eyes and asked:

"So did you fight that dark wizard last night?"

There was a hint of playfulness in her voice, and she seemed to be very interested in the topic.

Draco, Harry and Hermione exchanged awkward looks.

Draco cleared his throat. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he still answered:

"Of course, that dark wizard was a bit tricky. We were not able to catch him."

There was a hint of determination in his voice, trying to hide the awkwardness of last night.

"but."

He continued:

"If we really ran into him last night, he would never have gotten away!"

There was a hint of confidence in Draco's words, even though he knew it might not be entirely true.

When Phoenix heard this, he could only sigh silently in his heart. He knew that Draco was trying his best to maintain their image.

Astoria couldn't help but giggle, she knew the truth of last night, so Draco's words sounded a little funny to her.

Harry and Hermione chose to lower their heads and eat without saying much.

But the expressions on their faces revealed their embarrassment and helplessness about last night's events.

Ron Weasley sat at the other end of the long table, with a barely perceptible resentment in his eyes.

He felt as if he had been left out of the friendship.

No longer the loyal companion who always stood by Harry Potter.

He watched the interaction between Harry and Draco and couldn't help feeling a little lost.

Once upon a time, he and Harry had been inseparable friends, but now, Harry seemed to be getting closer to Draco.

Ron sighed helplessly. He did not envy Draco because he also noticed the subtle changes in the relationship between them.

The interactions between Harry and Draco seemed to be increasing, and the closeness between them went beyond that of ordinary friends or brothers.

Ron noticed some small movements between them, those eye contacts and unintentional touches, which made him feel something was wrong.

He coughed a few times and cleared his throat, trying to hide his uneasiness.

He knew that some things should not be said, at least not without solid evidence.

He didn't want his guess to seem presumptuous or rude.
