Traveling through Hogwarts, just wanting to have a love affair

He knows that sometimes, it is the elders' job to give young people some privacy and let them enjoy each other's company freely.

Phoenix and Astoria were both surprised to hear what David said.

They didn't expect the ship to set sail so soon, which also meant that their journey was about to begin.

Astoria stopped what she was doing, looked up at David, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

Astoria's cheeks were tinged with a light blush, and her movements unconsciously paused the moment David appeared.

Her heartbeat seemed to become a little disordered with his arrival, but she tried to stay calm.

Phoenix was completely different, his eyes were fixed on David.

That look revealed not only surprise, but also a hint of subtle hostility.

David sensed a subtle change in the air and realized he might have disturbed something.

He cleared his throat and tried to break the awkward atmosphere with a relaxed tone:

"Ahaha, I just came over to say hello. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

There was a hint of urgency in his words; he wanted to leave this uncomfortable place as soon as possible.

His eyes flickered between Astoria and Phoenix.

Then, without waiting for their response, he turned around quickly and left in a hurry.

His back quickly disappeared from sight, leaving Astoria and Phoenix looking at each other in bewilderment.

The tense atmosphere in the air gradually dissipated with David's departure, but a trace of regret remained in the hearts of both of them.

David jogged all the way until he safely returned to his captain's cabin, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

He leaned against the door and patted his chest gently with his hand, as if trying to soothe his heart that was beating faster due to nervousness.

He muttered to himself:

“Young people today are so scary!”

There was a hint of joking in his voice, but more of it was the aftertaste of what had just happened.

At the same time, Astoria looked at David's fleeing back and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

There was a hint of mischief and ease in her smile. She turned her head and said to Phoenix:

"Well, you should be satisfied after such a long massage."

Her voice was gentle and slightly teasing.

Phoenix sighed helplessly, with a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

He said half-jokingly:

"If only there was some magic that could steer a ship autonomously."

His words revealed some small complaints about sailing life, but more of them were his infinite longing for the future.

When Astoria heard this, she couldn't help but give Phoenix a blank look, with a hint of amusement in her eyes.

She said:

"If there are really only two of us on this ship, who knows what a scoundrel like you would do to me?"

There was a hint of joking in her words, but more of it was her understanding and trust in Phoenix.

When Phoenix heard this, he immediately retorted seriously:

"I am a gentleman, please don't slander me!"

His expression was serious, but there was a hint of smile in his eyes.

His words were firm, as if to emphasize his own integrity and innocence.

The conversation between the two was full of ease and humor, but in this relaxed atmosphere, it also revealed their deep friendship and mutual trust.

Even though they sometimes joke around, they both know that no matter what difficulties they encounter, they will be each other's strongest support.

The suspicion in Astoria's eyes was obvious. She shook her head slightly but did not continue to dwell on the topic.

She knew that sometimes, giving Phoenix some space and time would help him relax better than endless teasing.

She changed the subject and asked with a hint of curiosity:

"Phoenix, how's the progress of your homemade magic?"

Her voice was full of encouragement and anticipation. She knew Phoenix had been working hard to create a new kind of magic.

Phoenix showed a trace of frustration on his face, and he answered listlessly:

"I still have no clue..."

His voice was low and contained a hint of frustration.

During this period of time, he has been thinking hard, trying to combine various magical elements and theories.

But he always felt that there was something missing, as if there was an invisible barrier standing between him and success.

Astoria saw his loss, she patted his shoulder gently and comforted him:

"I'm not angry, just take your time, and you're already very good!"

Her words were full of warmth and support. She believed in Phoenix's talent and potential, and believed that he would eventually overcome the difficulties.

Phoenix raised his head and looked at Astoria's encouraging eyes, and the haze in his heart seemed to be dispelled a little.

Phoenix encountered some obstacles on his way to creating his own magic.

He felt a little frustrated because he had been working hard but always felt like he was just a little short of something.

He longs to be able to create his own magic, which is not only his personal goal but also his main mission.

As the next school year approached, he began to feel more anxious because he was not ready for the new challenges.

Despite this, Phoenix did not give up. He knew that even though he was already very strong now, he still needed to continue to work hard and innovate.

His heart is full of curiosity about the unknown and desire for success.

Astoria's encouragement gave him some comfort. She reminded him not to lose heart, to take his time, and that he was already very good.

Astoria noticed Phoenix's distress and decided to put him at ease in her own way.

She made a suggestion in a soft voice, with a hint of coquettishness in her tone:

"Phoenix, come walk with me to the beach. The ship doesn't sail until the afternoon anyway!"

There was a sense of ease and seduction in her words, trying to attract Phoenix's attention.

The girl even deliberately rubbed Phoenix's arm gently with her furry head.

This intimate little gesture made Phoenix feel an indescribable warmth and comfort.

He felt an itch in his heart, a feeling he couldn't resist.

Phoenix finally nodded involuntarily and agreed to Astoria's request:

"Okay!"

There was a hint of tenderness and fondness in his voice.

At the same time, he was silently sighing in his heart:

"I admit that I am an old-fashioned person, but sweet girls are really YYDs!"

He realized that his feelings for Astoria had grown to a depth that surprised even himself.

While agreeing to Astoria's request, Phoenix secretly made up his mind that he must protect their relationship more carefully.

He didn't want to give anyone the chance to ruin the beauty between them, and he didn't want Astoria to be taken away by someone else.

He knew that if something like that really happened, he wouldn't even have a place to cry.
