Traveling through Hogwarts, just wanting to have a love affair

Astoria seemed to have an endless supply of topics to talk about, and her words flowed like an endless stream.

She talked about trivial matters of the past few days, shared her inner feelings, and sometimes even repeated something she had already said.

Her words were full of love for life and curiosity about the unknown, but also revealed a hint of subtle uneasiness.

Phoenix sat quietly, patiently listening to every word Astoria said.

His eyes were full of understanding and support, and whenever Astoria paused, he would nod appropriately or express his approval with brief words.

He knew that Astoria's mood was fluctuating at the moment, and she needed not only a listener, but also someone who could give her strength and comfort.

At this point, Phoenix didn't interrupt her or rush to express his point.

He understood that for Astoria, having someone listen to her unconditionally was the best support.

His presence was like a solid fortress, providing her with a safe space where she could express herself freely without fear of being misunderstood or judged.

Phoenix's silence and nod, though simple, conveyed deep care and respect.

In his own way, he provided Astoria with the sense of security she needed.

Let her know that no matter what she says, he will be here, listening patiently and giving her strength.

Astoria's words finally stopped, and her eyes revealed a hint of fatigue, but more of deep worry.

Her lips were bitten lightly, as if she was trying hard not to let her emotions get out of control.

Her brows were furrowed, as if she was thinking about some important problem, or struggling with her own fear and anxiety deep in her heart.

Phoenix noticed Astoria's uneasiness, and he gently reached out and patted her head tenderly, as if he was comforting a wounded animal.

His actions were full of care and warmth, trying to ease the pressure in her heart in his own way.

His voice was soft and comforting, with a hint of an easy smile, as if telling Astoria that everything was going to be okay.

He said:

"Don't worry, this is just an accident, and I'm like this now."

There was an optimism and strength in his words, and he tried to influence Astoria with his attitude.

Make her believe that no matter what happens, they can face it together.

Phoenix then added:

"At least it can make the grim atmosphere at home better, right?"

There was a hint of mischief in his words, as if he was using humor to ease the tense atmosphere.

He knew that sometimes a light-hearted joke or a little prank could make people feel much more relaxed.

Phoenix's words were like a ray of warm sunshine, penetrating the haze in Astoria's heart.

She raised her head and looked into Phoenix's eyes full of encouragement and support, and the pressure in her heart seemed to be relieved a little.

She knew that as long as Phoenix was by her side, she would no longer be alone in facing the challenges of this world.

Astoria had just softly described Draco and Harry's predicament at home.

The atmosphere at home has been very tense during this period.

Lucius Malfoy, a strict and scheming father, always looks for opportunities to make things difficult for Harry.

His actions may be motivated by his hostility towards Harry Potter, or by his devotion to the Dark Arts.

Every provocation he made was filled with malicious intent, an attempt to create obstacles in Harry's life.

However, Draco, although to outsiders he and Harry should be naturally hostile.

But at some critical moments, he unexpectedly stood on Harry's side.

His behavior may be out of loyalty to his friend or disapproval of his father's behavior.

Draco's protective behavior, although sometimes clumsy and contradictory, undoubtedly gave Harry some comfort.

This internal family rift led to frequent arguments between Lucius and Draco.

Every argument was charged with tension, with Lucius's authority challenged and Draco struggling to find his own ground.

Narcissa, despite her best efforts to calm the situation, found it increasingly difficult to control the situation.

Her eyes revealed helplessness and worry. She was worried that this tense family relationship would have a negative impact on Draco.

Astoria's emotions fluctuated again, tears welled up in her eyes, and crystal tears slid down her cheeks.

Her voice was choked with sobs as she whispered:

"But your eyes..."

Her words were filled with worry and heartache for Phoenix.

She knew that Phoenix had temporarily lost his eyesight, which was a huge blow to him and an indelible pain in her heart.

Phoenix sensed Astoria's sadness, and he gently reached out and pinched her cheek tenderly, trying to comfort her with this small gesture.

His voice was calm and firm as he said:

"It's okay. There are so many potions in this world. There must be a potion that can restore your health."

His words revealed a sense of optimism and hope, and he believed that although the current situation was difficult, one day he would be able to regain his eyesight.

Phoenix then added:

"And I even learned a magic trick of my own, so it wasn't a loss!"

He tried to lighten the tense atmosphere with humor, his words tinged with mischief and pride.

He wanted Astoria to know that even though he had temporarily lost his eyesight, he had not given up, he was still working hard and making progress.

Astoria was infected by Phoenix's optimism and strength. She nodded firmly and said:

"I will definitely find a way!"

Her voice was filled with determination and belief that she could help Phoenix regain his sight, no matter how much effort it took.

Phoenix chuckled when he heard Astoria's words and said:

"Okay, I'll wait for you!"

His smile was full of trust and expectation. He believed in Astoria, her determination and ability.

He was willing to wait, no matter how long it took, for Astoria to find a way to restore his sight.

Phoenix was acutely aware that Astoria's emotions were beginning to grow heavy again, and he knew he needed to change the subject now to prevent her from falling into grief again.

He gently took Astoria's hand, his fingers gently caressing her palm, this intimate little gesture full of tenderness and care.

He deliberately used a relaxed tone and said with a mischievous smile:

"Since I'm like this now, I don't need to write a self-criticism, right?"

There was a hint of joking in his words, trying to break the heavy atmosphere with humor.

He knew that Astoria always had strict requirements for him, and even in this situation, her care and expectations for him never changed.

Astoria was a little stunned at first, she didn't expect Phoenix to ask such a question at this time.

But soon, a smile flashed in her eyes, and she rolled her eyes at Phoenix in pretended anger. This small action revealed her doting and helplessness towards him.

She said softly:

"No need. You won't be able to see it even if I show it to you now, humph!"

There was a hint of sarcasm in her words, but more of it was understanding and tolerance for him.

Phoenix's smile widened when he heard Astoria's answer.

He knew that despite what she said, her heart must be full of care and love for him.

He gave Astoria's hand a gentle squeeze of thanks and comfort.
