Traveling through Hogwarts, just wanting to have a love affair

Phoenix's gaze lingered on Nicholas for a moment, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes, but he quickly regained his calm.

He turned to Astoria, his tone light and confident, trying to ease her concerns.

"It's fine."

Phoenix comforted:

"This guy should know something about the magical world."

There was a sense of disdain for Nicholas in his voice, but also a sense of control over the situation.

"So our identities were inferred based on our last names."

He explained, with a hint of recognition of Nicholas's insight in his tone.

A smug smile appeared on Phoenix's lips, and his eyes were shining with confidence.

"But he definitely doesn't know that my strength is different from that of an ordinary little wizard!"

He stressed, his voice full of pride. He knew that his ability was far superior to that of ordinary people, which was the result of his continuous practice and self-challenge over the years.

Phoenix leaned close to Astoria's ear and whispered in a teasing tone:

"Your husband is very powerful!"

There was a hint of joking in his words, but at the same time, there was a deep confidence in them.

He knew he had the ability to protect Astoria and was capable of dealing with the challenges that were to come.

Astoria gave Phoenix a warning look, with a hint of seriousness in her voice:

"There are a lot of people watching here, don't cause any trouble!"

Her words revealed a clear awareness of the current situation, and even in this tense situation, she remained alert to her surroundings.

The corners of Phoenix's mouth twitched slightly, and there was a hint of helplessness in his expression.

He thought back to the past when Astoria would blush whenever she was teased, and he found her shy look extremely cute.

But now, she has become stronger and more independent, and although he is proud of her maturity, deep down, he still misses the shy girl.

"How lovely it was then. What a pity! Alas!"

Phoenix silently regretted in his heart. He knew that time was changing, people were changing, and he had to accept this fact.

A hint of tenderness flashed across his eyes, but was quickly replaced by a firm look.

At this time, Nicholas was observing the interaction between the two people, with a hint of disdain in his lips.

He didn't seem interested in this display of affection, or he felt that such intimacy was inappropriate at this tense moment.

David smiled bitterly and looked at Phoenix and Astoria. He knew that these two were good people.

So facing the impending threat, he couldn't help but advise:

"You two should take the boat and run as far as you can."

There was helplessness and worry in his voice; he didn't want to see them take risks.

Astoria looked at Phoenix with a questioning look in her eyes:

"How about it? Do you want to take action now?"

She knew Phoenix's strength, but she also understood that the enemy she was about to face might be stronger than any opponent they had ever faced.

Phoenix thought for a second, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and then just as he was about to say something to David, he heard a loud noise.

"bump!"

Immediately afterwards, a big hole was smashed into a piece of plywood next to him.

This scene made everyone present realize that the pirates' attack had begun and they had to respond immediately.

Phoenix's face was covered with dust raised by the explosion. He quickly wiped it off with his hand, his movements revealing impatience and determination.

He grabbed Astoria beside him and put her behind his broad lee, protecting her from further harm.

There was a flash of anger in his eyes, and he was obviously angry at the pirates' sudden attack.

"Asshole, you're going to fight just because you don't agree with me?"

He muttered to himself, full of dissatisfaction and provocation.

"At least say something!"

He continued to complain, but his tone was more full of contempt for this unfair fight.

Phoenix quickly thought of a countermeasure in his mind, and his hand quickly and skillfully reached into his arms, ready to take out his wand.

He planned to use his magic to teach these uninvited pirates a profound lesson, and also to demonstrate his own strength in this sudden battle.

His movements revealed confidence and calmness. Even when faced with such a sudden attack, he was not at all panicked.

Just as the tense atmosphere was about to cause Phoenix to take action, another cannon shot suddenly broke the tranquility of the sea.

But this time, it wasn't the pirates who launched a new attack on them, but it came from the back of the pirate ship.

David's eyes were sharp, and his voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement. He shouted loudly:

"It's a warship, the government's rescue has arrived!"

His words were full of excitement and hope, "We are saved!"

This roar was like a shot of adrenaline, instantly igniting the morale of the crew members who were originally in despair.

This sudden turn of events eased the originally tense atmosphere.

Both Phoenix and Astoria realize that they may not have to fight this alone.

Timely rescue by the government may change the entire war situation. Such a scene is like seeing the dawn of hope in despair, which makes people excited.

Astoria's face broke into a huge smile.

She excitedly hugged Phoenix's arm and shook it like a child with a favorite toy.

Her eyes were shining with excitement, like the brightest stars in the night sky, reflecting her joy and relief at the moment.

Phoenix felt Astoria's happiness, and he looked down at her with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

He could feel her joy, like a warm current that warmed his heart.

He patted her hand gently, conveying his comfort and support in this way.

However, at this moment, Nicholas on the side curled his lips again, with a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth.

He murmured in a low voice that only he could hear:

"Five minutes late, humph!"

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice, as if he had some complaints about the warship's late arrival.

Although Phoenix didn't hear what Nicholas was muttering, he noticed Nicholas' expression.

He found that Nicholas didn't seem surprised by the timely arrival of the warship, which made him feel a little confused.

Nicholas' attitude seemed to imply that he had known all this for a long time, which made Phoenix doubt Nicholas' true identity and intentions.

Phoenix looked at Nicholas deeply, his eyes full of inquiry and vigilance.

He knew that Nicholas might not be as simple as he seemed.
