Traveling through Hogwarts, just wanting to have a love affair

Hermione and Ron stood aside, listening to Draco and Harry telling about Phoenix's heroic deeds, their expressions gradually changed from initial calmness to surprise.

Especially when they heard Phoenix was trying to save others.

When they used a magic that was extremely taxing on the eyes, both of them opened their mouths wide, their shock evident in their words.

Hermione's heart was in turmoil, and she felt an unprecedented sense of pride:

"He is worthy of being the man I like. Even if I, Hermione, have to be a mistress in this life, it is worth it to marry Phoenix!"

She pondered in her heart, and her admiration and love for Phoenix deepened.

Hermione has always admired people who have both courage and wisdom, and Phoenix's behavior just proves that he not only has extraordinary courage.

There is also a selfless spirit of sacrificing oneself for others.

Phoenix sat there, his ears filled with these slightly exaggerated words.

He felt a little uncomfortable and scratched his head with his fingers in embarrassment.

There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes, but he didn't make any comment.

He knew that as long as Hermione and Ron didn't spread the news, everything would be fine.

His eyes unconsciously turned to the side, noticing that Astoria was listening to these words attentively, her expression revealing deep interest.

Seeing this scene, Phoenix couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth.

He shook his head, feeling both helpless and a little amused by Astoria's reaction.

He knew that she probably just found these tall tales amusing.

But he still hoped that she could maintain a certain level of judgment and not be influenced by these words.

Phoenix adjusted his sitting position, gently moving his hips to make himself more comfortable.

He tucked his legs together and carefully placed them under the chair so as not to accidentally kick anyone.

Then, he slowly rested his head on Astoria's legs, looking for the most relaxing position.

Astoria watched Phoenix's actions and sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

Despite this, she did not make any move to push Phoenix away.

She even placed her hand gently on his head, as if silently accepting his support.

Every time Phoenix lay on her legs like this, Astoria felt a strange feeling, her heartbeat would unconsciously speed up and her cheeks would feel slightly warm.

However, she did not hate this feeling. In fact, she even felt a little secretly happy.

She felt a special connection at Phoenix's closeness, and it gave her a warm feeling inside.

She stroked his hair gently, enjoying this rare moment of intimacy.

At the same time, Hermione's mood was a bit complicated. She watched the interaction between Phoenix and Astoria, and she couldn't help but feel a little envious.

She also longed to be able to have Phoenix on her lap, like Astoria did, to feel his warmth and weight.

Hermione's heart was full of contradictions. She was happy about the closeness between Astoria and Phoenix.

I also feel a little lost because I can't be the one who can be relied upon.

Her eyes wandered between the two of them, with mixed feelings in her heart.

As the roar of the train gradually became steady, the Hogwarts Express slowly pulled into the terminal, marking the beginning of a new semester's adventure for the students.

Inside the carriage, the students' conversations and laughter were gradually replaced by the rustling sounds of packing luggage as everyone prepared to get off the train.

Phoenix rested on Astoria's lap, his body rising and falling slightly with the gentle sway of the train.

Draco watched this and gently pushed Phoenix's shoulder, trying to wake him up.

His voice was a little charming and playful, yet it also revealed his concern for his brother:

"Phoenix, wake up, we're at Hogwarts!"

Phoenix was awakened from his light sleep by Draco's voice.

His eyes slowly opened, with a hint of confusion and sleepiness.

He rubbed his eyes, trying to dispel the sleepiness and wake himself up.

He slowly eased his body off of Astoria's legs and sat up straight, ready to join the group exiting the car.

However, Phoenix did not notice that when he stood up, Astoria gently covered her legs with a resentful expression on her face.

Her legs felt a little numb from staying still for so long, but it was more of a mixed feeling.

She looked at Phoenix's confused look, feeling both a little reluctant and a little amused.

She shook her head gently, deciding not to tell him about her discomfort right away, but choosing to bring it up with him at an appropriate time.

Ron stood in the carriage of the Hogwarts Express, looking at his classmates around him, who were all in pairs. He couldn't help but feel a little complicated.

He sighed sourly and said to himself:

"When can I find a girlfriend?"

There was a hint of envy and helplessness in his voice.

His eyes automatically turned to Hermione, one of the few single girls in his social circle.

Although Ron had never been particularly eager to fall in love before, he watched his friends fall in love one by one.

He also began to feel lonely, and gradually developed a yearning for a sweet romance.

However, Ron's mood sank again when he saw that Hermione's eyes were still fixed on Phoenix.

He realized that Hermione's mind was obviously not on him. Ron felt powerless and shook his head gently, feeling a little lost.

Finally, Ron sighed helplessly, as if silently expressing his helplessness and disappointment.

He walked out of the carriage slowly with heavy steps and a feeling of despair.

His figure seemed a little lonely on the platform, but he still looked forward to the future.

Maybe at some corner of Hogwarts, he would meet someone with whom he could share sweet moments.

Phoenix fully awakened from his hazy sleep, and he felt a chill, realizing that he might have caused Astoria's legs to become tired.

He immediately turned around and looked at Astoria with concern, his tone carrying a hint of apology and urgency:

"Astoria, your leg...is it hurting?"

Astoria looked at Phoenix's nervous look and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, but there was a gentle smile hidden in her eyes.

She replied casually:

"Numb!"

Although her words sounded somewhat complaining, there was no real blame in her tone.

Phoenix looked a little guilty when he heard Astoria's answer.

He knew that his carelessness might have caused inconvenience to Astoria.

But he also felt a little warm because Astoria wasn't really angry.

Then, Astoria added:

"But since you showed concern for me the first thing you did after you woke up, I won't bother with you this time!"

There was a hint of tolerance and understanding in her words. She did not make a fuss about Phoenix's small mistake, but instead showed her concern and tolerance for him.

When Phoenix heard this, he felt grateful.

He knew that Astoria's tolerance was out of concern for him, which made him cherish his relationship with Astoria even more.

He smiled softly, gave Astoria a grateful look, and held out his hand, ready to help her stand up and welcome the start of the new semester together.
