Traveling through Hogwarts, just wanting to have a love affair

There was a hint of cunning in Hermione's lively eyes, which was as eye-catching as a shooting star across the night sky.

She gently stretched out her finger and poked Phoenix's strong arm.

The voice was deep and mysterious, as if it came from deep underground, as if it was quietly telling the other party some unknown secret:

"Draco and Harry... well, what unique insights do you have about them?"

The question she asked was both straightforward and yet contained some implicit meaning.

It was like a carefully designed double-edged sword, on the one hand trying to detect Phoenix's true inner thoughts and stance;

On the other hand, he is looking for that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity - a perfect opportunity to make the relationship between himself and Phoenix closer and more intimate.

Phoenix opened his mouth slightly, with a slightly complicated expression on his face.

Obviously, he knew very well that this seemingly ordinary question actually contained a mystery and was not as easy to answer as it seemed on the surface.

After some careful consideration, he finally spoke slowly:

"I have always respected Draco's personal wishes. Alas..."

Along with this heavy sigh, his tone unconsciously revealed an indescribable feeling of deep helplessness.

Hermione's eyes suddenly lit up, and a hint of excitement flashed across her expression.

This was not because of the content of Phoenix's answer, but because she realized that she and Phoenix had finally found a common topic.

This discovery excited her because she knew it meant she could use this opportunity to get closer to Phoenix and maybe open his heart.

So, Hermione took a deep breath and continued:

"So, what do you think about Harry's upcoming visit to your house?"

She stared at Phoenix closely, her eyes flashing with curiosity and anticipation.

Then, Hermione asked again:

"Are you planning to stand on Draco's side and support his point of view?"

There was a hint of doubt in his voice.

Faced with Hermione's rapid-fire questions, Phoenix thought for a moment.

Then he spread his hands nonchalantly and answered nonchalantly:

"Oh, there's nothing to worry about! Just let them be. Anyway, I've already planned to go out and play with Astoria during this holiday."

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he seemed to be full of confidence in his arrangements.

After a pause, Phoenix seemed to remember something interesting and suddenly laughed out loud:

"Haha, it would be so fun if Harry and Draco really decided to have their wedding at my house!"

"But I don't bother to interfere with them. After all, it's their own business."

After saying this, he winked mischievously.

Hearing this, Hermione's originally tense expression gradually relaxed. She stared at Phoenix, and the sharpness in her eyes was gradually replaced by tenderness.

Phoenix nodded firmly, indicating that he really didn't care about these trivial matters.

As time passed, the atmosphere between the two became more harmonious...

After listening to this, Hermione showed an expression of helplessness and surprise on her face, and stared at Phoenix silently for a moment.

Then, she fixed her curious eyes on the other person and asked:

"You're actually going to hang out with Astoria?"

Then, as if it was not detailed enough, he asked again:

"And are you two the only ones going together?"

Phoenix nodded in affirmation without hesitation and responded:

"That's right!"

He had no hesitation about being honest with Hermione.

After all, in his mind, Hermione, as one of the key characters in the original work, has always been trustworthy in her character.

Hearing this answer, Hermione couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in her heart.

But she still tried her best to hide her emotions, forced a smile, and continued to ask:

"So... where are you planning to go?" In fact, she originally wanted to ask directly if he could take her with him.

However, just as she was about to say this, she suddenly changed her mind and asked another question.

The reason was simple: she already knew the answer to the question that she cared about most and was most looking forward to having answered.

After thinking for a moment, Phoenix replied softly:

"Probably the seaside. Astoria has always been fascinated by that place, so this time I decided to take her there to experience it."

After saying this, Hermione couldn't help but sigh softly, even though her mood was quite complicated at the moment.

There was even some indescribable loss, but she still tried her best to maintain the seemingly relaxed smile on the corners of her mouth.

"The beach, that sounds nice."

There was a hint of envy in Hermione's voice as she imagined the beautiful scenery of the seaside, the waves gently lapping against the beach, and the salty sea breeze.

Phoenix noticed the envy in Hermione's eyes, he smiled slightly and said:

"Yeah, Astoria always dreamed of a vacation at the beach."

“She said the sights and sounds made her feel calm and relaxed.”

Hermione nodded, her eyes becoming a little blurry, as if she was imagining herself being in that kind of environment.

Hermione sighed softly, her emotions were mixed, but not as heavy as before.

She has accepted the reality, even though she cannot be the first partner in Phoenix's life.

But she believed that she still had a chance to become an integral part of his life.

She thought to herself that in this world of magic and miracles, love was not always so pure and unchanging.

She knew that even the strongest vows could become blurred in the passage of time.

Hermione told herself as a self-deprecating smile curved her lips.

Even if she can't be the only love, she can still be a special existence.

Phoenix was completely unaware of these little fluctuations in Hermione's mind.
