Traveling through Hogwarts, just wanting to have a love affair

The sound of the door being suddenly pushed open broke the silence in the room, and Hermione and Ron rushed into the room almost at the same time.

Their footsteps were quick and powerful, revealing the sense of urgency in their hearts.

However, when their eyes fell on the scene in front of them, both of them stopped involuntarily, and the expressions on their faces became complicated.

Hermione's eyes were fixed on the scene before her, and an indescribable sadness welled up in her heart.

There was surprise and a hint of barely perceptible jealousy in her eyes, and this complex emotion made her speechless for a moment.

Ron's attention was attracted by the white cloth in front of Phoenix.

He froze in place, the expression on his face changing from surprise to deep heartache.

His voice was trembling, and he almost used all his strength to say those words:

"Phoenix!"

His voice was filled with disbelief and grief.

"How come you are so young, but your eyes are... just..."

His words revealed his sympathy for Phoenix's misfortune and anger at the unfairness of fate.

Phoenix's current appearance was a heavy blow to all of them, especially to Ron.

Draco Malfoy's fist was swift and powerful, his action almost instinctive, and he punched Ron in the shoulder.

Then quickly retract it as if the action had never happened.

His expression was a little unhappy, but more helpless. He shook his head, and his tone revealed a hint of silence:

"Phoenix has medicine on his eyes. Professor Snape doesn't allow him to see the light, so he can only cover them with a white cloth. Don't think too much!"

His words were brief and direct, attempting to quickly end the misunderstanding.

There was a hint of worry in Draco's eyes. He knew that Phoenix's condition was not optimistic.

But I also don’t want my friends to have unnecessary misunderstandings because of this.

Ron was caught off guard by Draco's sudden punch.

He covered his head, and the expression on his face changed from surprise to embarrassment.

There was a hint of embarrassment in his smile, as if he was ashamed of his misunderstanding.

Even so, he couldn't help but mutter:

"Any normal person would have some biased thoughts when seeing this..."

His voice was low, with a hint of stubbornness, as if he was defending himself.

Hermione stood aside, her eyes moving back and forth between Draco and Ron, her expression complicated.

She knew that Ron's muttering was not without reason, and anyone might misunderstand in this situation.

But she also understood Draco's explanation, knowing that they were both out of concern for Phoenix.

Hermione sighed softly, she knew that in this situation, communication and understanding were more important than anything else.

She decided not to dwell on this little episode and turned to Phoenix, asking about his condition with concern.

Hermione's eyes fell softly on Phoenix. She noticed the changes in him and couldn't help but feel a mixture of emotions in her heart.

As time goes by, each of them grows up, especially the arrival of puberty, which makes their bodies and minds undergo significant changes.

Phoenix is ​​no exception. His face has gradually lost the roundness of his childhood, replaced by clearer contours and mature lines.

Although Phoenix's eyes were covered with white cloth, it did not reduce his charm, but added a sense of mystery.

The eyes under the white cloth seem to hide an unknown story, making people want to get closer to uncover the mysterious veil.

Hermione felt her cheeks warm slightly.

She subconsciously took a few steps forward, wanting to get closer to Phoenix and sit next to him.

Hermione's movements were gentle and natural, her heart filled with concern for Phoenix and a desire to support her.

She wanted to be his eyes and help him through this inconvenient time, but she also wanted to understand him more deeply and understand his inner world.

Hermione's heartbeat quickened slightly as she realized that her feelings towards Phoenix were quietly changing, a change that made her both excited and a little uneasy.

Astoria's appearance interrupted Hermione's movements. She walked lightly in front of Hermione with a gentle smile on her face.

Her voice was soft and full of understanding, but also revealed a hint of firmness:

"Hermione, Phoenix is ​​currently invisible, so it's best to leave him some open space."

Her words revealed a deep understanding of Phoenix's situation, as well as a subtle reminder of Hermione's impulsive behavior.

Astoria continued, with a hint of lightness and humor in her tone:

"Otherwise, if something bumps into something, that would be bad."

Her words were intended to lighten the mood, but they were also meant to remind Hermione that Phoenix's inconvenience needed to be taken into consideration by everyone in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

Hermione felt a little embarrassed after hearing what Astoria said, and she realized that her behavior might have caused inconvenience to Phoenix.

She bit her lips lightly, a small movement she made when she was nervous, revealing her inner entanglement and uneasiness.

Although she longed to be close to Phoenix, she also understood that Astoria's consideration was out of concern for Phoenix.

In the end, Hermione respected Astoria's advice. Instead of moving forward, she stood obediently on the other side of the room.

There was a maturity and self-control in her movements, and she knew that respecting Phoenix's needs and space was the most important thing in this situation.

Hermione stood there quietly, her eyes still fixed on Phoenix with concern, her heart filled with worry about him and a desire to help.

The seats in the Hogwarts Express are designed to be compact and practical.

Although nominally designed for two people, it can accommodate three people if necessary.

But in that case, the space would become very small and passengers would have to be so close together that they could almost feel each other's body temperature and breath.

This kind of close contact may be a warm experience for some people.

But for others, especially those who value their personal space, it may be uncomfortable.

Astoria knew this, so she didn't want Hermione to join.

Astoria read in a book that people are often most vulnerable when they are hurt or in trouble.

The companionship and care at this time can greatly affect a person's emotions.

This is exactly the situation Phoenix is ​​in now. He is blind, which undoubtedly makes him feel helpless and anxious.

Although he tried to remain calm on the surface, Astoria believed it.

He must be filled with anxiety and panic in his heart, but he was unwilling to show it so as not to worry those around him.

Astoria thought she understood Phoenix, so she took better care of him.

She was careful to ensure his needs were met while giving him enough space to feel comfortable and safe.

Her behavior was not only out of concern for Phoenix, but also a strategy, hoping to win his trust and dependence at this special moment.

Every move and every word of Astoria revealed her deep understanding and careful care for Phoenix.
