Traveling through Hogwarts, just wanting to have a love affair

"That's not necessarily true. Hagrid said that Headmaster Dumbledore asked all the professors to pay more attention to him. This is not a treatment that ordinary little wizards can get."

"And if Headmaster Dumbledore hadn't asked the professors to keep an eye on Phoenix, you would have been the first person we suspected."

Hermione retorted with a grin.

"That's right, Draco. Don't think that just because you bribed me with money, bribed Hermione with your precious collection of books, and saved Harry, we will completely trust you."

Ron also supported it with a smile at this time.

"Hehe, return the money and the book!"

Draco snorted twice and uttered two words.

Hermione and Ron's faces instantly stiffened, and Hermione's eyes revealed a hint of reluctance, because those books meant a lot to her.

It contained a lot of precious knowledge from ancient times, which was simply not available in ordinary bookstores, and she herself did not have enough gold galleons to buy more books.

Ron was somewhat helpless. He spent a large amount of gold Galleons, not only buying a wand, but also buying himself a brand new robe.

In addition, he even bought new food for his beloved pet Scabbers.

It can be said that Ron's current financial situation is completely dependent on Draco's funding.

At this time, Harry stepped forward and tried to ease the atmosphere. He said:

"Okay, okay, stop arguing. Draco, we just want to keep an eye on Phoenix. We don't want to hurt him."

Harry's tone was sincere, hoping to calm the argument.

Then, he continued: “Think about it, if Phoenix is ​​really the heir of Slytherin, we can temporarily not tell the professors.

While there are no casualties, we should try our best to persuade him to take the right path and let him return to the right path. Isn't it right to do so? "

Harry's words were full of reason and kindness, and he hoped to find a solution to the problem.

Harry's words were really effective. Draco hesitated for a while, and finally said:

"Okay, but if the Heir of Slytherin isn't Phoenix, you'll have to apologize to him."

"Ok, no problem."

Harry agreed very readily, and then the four of them walked stealthily towards the window.

Soon, they heard the conversation inside.

"Ah, I know why Headmaster Dumbledore doubted me."

Phoenix's voice came from inside.

The four Harrys looked at each other and moved closer to the window.

"Ah, why?"

Astoria exclaimed in surprise.

"Alas, because my wand is not actually this willow wand, but this one." Phoenix sighed, took out a small box from his arms, opened it carefully, and a mysterious and ancient atmosphere emanated from it.

He gently handed the box to Astoria, his eyes revealing an indescribable emotion.

Due to the limited angle, Draco and the others could only see the figures of Phoenix and Astoria, and could not see what the wands in the box looked like.

However, they clearly heard Astoria's exclamation.

"Oh, this...how is this possible? I've only seen this wand in family books!" Astoria's voice was full of shock and disbelief, as if she had seen an object beyond imagination.

Harry, Ron, Hermione and Draco were almost dying of anxiety behind the window. Hermione couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked Draco a barrage of questions:

"Your brother still has a wand? What kind of wand is that? And why is Astoria so surprised?"

Draco looked at Hermione innocently, he was also confused.

When he accompanied Phoenix to Diagon Alley to buy a wand, he didn't notice the existence of such a special wand.

At this moment, he really wanted to cry but had no tears, and secretly complained in his heart, wondering why he didn't pay more attention?

"I don't know either. I was planning to go to Diagon Alley with Phoenix."

"However, he was stopped by Professor Snape, and in the end only he and Phoenix went to Diagon Alley. As for what happened afterwards, I also know nothing about it."

"You are such a failure as a brother!"

Ron stood nearby and made sarcastic remarks.

Draco naturally wanted to retort, but Harry made a gesture to silence him.

"Shh!"

Phoenix's voice came from the classroom: "I'm going to sneak into the restricted book area tonight. After dinner, you should go back to bed early."

Draco was stunned with surprise, and the other four looked at each other, but they continued to listen.

"What are you doing in the restricted section? Do you want to learn the dark arts?"

"Phoenix, I'm warning you, if you really dare to learn black magic, I will never let you go!"

Astoria seemed really angry, and her originally soft voice became a little sharp at this moment.

When Phoenix saw Astoria's reaction, he quickly grabbed her hand and wanted to explain, but Astoria struggled a few times and couldn't break free, so she turned her head to the side and no longer looked at Phoenix.

"Okay, okay, I don't want to lie to you, I do plan to learn the black magic..."

"Phoenix, you are absolutely crazy!"

Astoria finally couldn't stand it anymore and exploded! She used all her strength to shake off Phoenix's hand, then grabbed his collar and roared angrily.

Phoenix had never expected Astoria to have such a violent reaction. He was shocked and at a loss for a moment.

"You can't...you can't go..."

Astoria's voice trembled with uncontrollable fear and desperation.

However, before she could finish her words, her eyes were already wet and tears flowed out like a dam breaking, splashing onto Phoenix's clothes.

Those crystal clear tears seemed to represent the endless pain and sorrow deep in her heart.

Her voice was filled with panic, and one could feel her deep worry about the future - she was afraid that Phoenix would go down a path of no return and become a cruel and ruthless murderer.

Draco and his group, who were about to rush out to question Phoenix, stopped when they saw this scene. They were infected by Astoria's emotions and fell into silence.

Phoenix finally woke up from his dream, and hurriedly hugged the girl in his arms, coaxing her softly:

"Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry, I won't go, I won't go, okay, please don't cry."

Phoenix coaxed Astoria for a long time before her crying slowly stopped.

"You...you are not allowed to go..."

Astoria said with sobs.

"Okay, I won't go. I'll stay with you forever."

Phoenix pressed his forehead against Astoria's and the two looked into each other's eyes.

Astoria's eyes were red from crying, and Phoenix wiped her tears with concern.

While coaxing, he also gently patted Astoria's back.

Draco and the other three outside were fed a mouthful of dog food.

"I feel like I'm full. I'll just go back to the common room later."

Hermione's teeth were clenched; this was not what they wanted to see, but they wanted to hear what was to come next, so they had to endure it.

"Me too."

Ron nodded repeatedly beside him.

Harry is a little envious of Phoenix now, he also wants a sweet and soft girlfriend!

At this time, Phoenix's voice came from inside, attracting everyone's attention, including Astoria who was still in Phoenix's arms.

"Astoria, do you know why I always say, I don't want to lie to you?"

Without waiting for Astoria to answer, Phoenix spoke to himself.

"That's because I don't want to pretend in front of you. The elders all praise me for being well-behaved and smart, and my parents love me even more because of this."

"However, all of this is subject to a prerequisite, which is that everything I do must be in line with their wishes and must not go against their ideas, even if their ideas are sometimes absurd and ridiculous."

"My father noticed my talent for magic since I was young, so he asked me to study magic with all my heart. In order to make my father happy, I finally studied hard."

"Professor Snape discovered my talent in potions, so he took me in as his godson and taught me potion knowledge in every possible way."

"In order to maintain the harmony of this family, I forced myself to smile and make them happy every day, so that this cold family could have some cheerful atmosphere. I was like a clown in a circus who specialized in making people laugh every day."

At this point, Phoenix's face showed pain.

"They are all doing what they think is right, but they have never taken my feelings into consideration. I actually..."

"I have no interest in those at all!"

When Astoria heard this, her beautiful eyes slightly raised, and when she looked at Phoenix, there was a hint of touch in her eyes.

She had previously speculated that the Malfoy family might not be as relaxed and harmonious as it seemed, but now hearing Phoenix's painful confession with her own ears, she couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart.

Phoenix did not stop talking, his voice was filled with deep helplessness and determination:

"The older generation's thinking is deeply rooted. They cling to outdated concepts and traditions. I have no power to change it, let alone interfere.

Because they are my family, I have to respect them no matter what.”

Then, Phoenix paused for a moment, and then continued:

"Letting Draco get close to Harry, Ron and Hermione was actually part of my plan.

I hope that in this way, Draco can see a world different from our family's and feel true friendship and justice.

I don't want him to follow in his father's footsteps and become a cold-hearted person."

Astoria listened quietly, she could feel Phoenix's inner conflict and struggle.

On the one hand, he loved his family deeply, even though their ideas were different from his own; on the other hand, he longed to create a better future for Draco, away from the shadow of his family.
