Traveling through Hogwarts, just wanting to have a love affair

Phoenix sat there, and although his eyes were covered with a white cloth, his senses were extremely active.

He absentmindedly played with Astoria's hands, which were soft and small, and felt like rubber, giving him an inexplicable sense of comfort.

He squeezed it gently, as if he was killing time, but also as if he was silently expressing his intimacy and dependence on Astoria.

Astoria's hand looked especially slender in Phoenix's.

Her skin was smooth and her fingers were nimble, and every time Phoenix pinched them, she felt a subtle pleasure.

She did not stop him. Instead, she enjoyed this intimate little gesture, which made her feel the unique tacit understanding and warmth between them.

However, Phoenix didn't know that he had become the focus of everyone's attention at this moment.

Besides Astoria, Luna and Hermione were also watching him.

There was a complex emotion in their eyes, including concern for Phoenix and satisfaction with his current situation.

As for Fleur, who came from Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, her eyes were full of doubts.

She looked at Phoenix in confusion, not understanding why he had a white cloth covering his eyes.

A trace of worry arose in her heart, and she began to wonder if there was something wrong with Phoenix's eyes.

This worry made her brows frown slightly, and her eyes revealed sympathy and concern for Phoenix.

Headmaster Dumbledore's voice echoed through the Great Hall as he and Madame Maxime concluded their pleasantries.

He raised his voice again and announced enthusiastically:

"And our distinguished guests from the north, welcome the warriors from Durmstrang, and their headmaster - Igor Karkaroff!"

His words were full of respect and expectation for these guests who came from afar.

Following Headmaster Dumbledore's announcement, the door to the Great Hall was pushed open again, in stark contrast to the previous entry of the Beauxbatons girls.

This time, a group of boys appeared at the door, and their figures looked particularly strong and powerful.

These students of Durmstrang walked with firm steps and waved wooden sticks in their hands, as if to show their strength and courage.

The way these boys entered was completely different from the elegance of the Beauxbatons girls; their steps revealed the roughness and boldness of northerners.

Their costumes are also very different from those of Hogwarts and Beauxbatons, with a greater emphasis on practicality and protection, reflecting Durmstrang Academy's emphasis on combat and practical magic.

The boys from Durmstrang walked into the auditorium, waving their wooden sticks. Their movements were full of power, as if silently announcing their arrival.

Their eyes are determined and their expressions are serious, giving people a feeling that they should not be underestimated.

This strong contrast made the Hogwarts students and other guests present stare at them in awe, and they were full of curiosity and awe towards these magic students from the north.

The atmosphere in the auditorium became more lively, and the styles and temperaments of different magic academies were fully displayed here.

Ron's eyes were fixed on a particular figure in the Durmstrang team.

He could hardly contain his excitement, and grasped Harry's arm excitedly, with a tremor in his voice:

"It's Krum, it's really him!"

His voice was full of admiration and respect for the famous Quidditch star.

Harry turned his head and looked at Ron with a look of both helplessness and amusement.

He found that Ron's excitement at this moment was even greater than his reaction when he saw the girls from Beauxbatons just now.

Harry couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that Ron's love for Quidditch has reached this level?

So much so that his enthusiasm for basketball stars exceeds his appreciation for beautiful girls?

Ron's face was filled with unconcealable enthusiasm and his eyes were shining with excitement, as if he saw his idol right in front of him, making it difficult for him to remain calm.

This made Harry wonder:

"Could it be that Ron is also a fellow traveler?"

As the Durmstrang team entered, the atmosphere in the hall became more heated.

Many little witches who love Quidditch are familiar with the name Krum, because he is a legend in the Quidditch world.

They were whispering to each other excitedly, their eyes sparkling with admiration and curiosity for the star.

Their excitement almost rivaled Ron's.

After all, for those who love Quidditch, being able to see Krum in person is undoubtedly a rare opportunity.

Astoria couldn't help but look at these Durmstrang students from the north with curiosity, her eyes wandering between their sturdy figures and firm steps.

She found these students from different cultural backgrounds novel and their styles were completely different from those of Hogwarts, which made her curious and excited.

However, as Astoria was concentrating on watching, her hand was suddenly gently tugged by Phoenix.

She turned her head and found Phoenix facing her, although his eyes were covered with a white cloth and her eyes could not be seen.

But Astoria could sense a hint of resentment emanating from Phoenix.

She could imagine Phoenix was probably wondering if she, too, had been drawn in by Krum's charms and ignored him.

Astoria patted Phoenix's hand gently, her smile was a little mischievous and comforting, and she whispered:

"Don't worry, don't worry, I won't watch it!"

Her voice was gentle and full of laughter, and her words revealed her concern and love for Phoenix.

She knew Phoenix might be upset, so she used this as a way to reassure him and let him know that her attention was still on him.

Although Phoenix couldn't see it, he could feel Astoria's tenderness and care.

The warmth of her hands and the sound of her laughter eased his mood a little.

When Phoenix heard Astoria's promise, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He nodded slightly, seeming to be very pleased with her response.

He knew Astoria was trying to comfort him in her own way, and that made his mood even brighter.

Then, Phoenix asked Astoria a question with a playful tone:

"Astoria, do you know why the strongest Seeker in the world is Krum?"

There was a hint of cynicism in his voice, as if challenging Astoria's knowledge of Quidditch.

However, just as Astoria was about to answer, Phoenix couldn't wait to interrupt her, his voice full of pride and confidence:

“That’s because I didn’t participate!”
