"Well... Actually, I didn't say anything special. I just asked about the situation at the time. The answer I gave was not much different from what you said."

Phoenix secretly kept this in mind, and Harry took a heavy note of it in his heart.

You know, it’s like a stranger suddenly calling your wife’s nickname. Anyone would be angry!

Harry couldn't help but feel a little disappointed because he failed to get any valuable clues from Phoenix.

Immediately afterwards, Harry and the other three people asked Phoenix some questions one after another, but in the end they got nothing and did not get any useful information from Phoenix.

"Okay, I've finished eating. You guys still have classes later, so I won't bother you any more."

After finishing his meal, Phoenix stood up and prepared to leave, for no other reason than that he saw the person he had been looking for.

"Uh... okay, see you next time then."

After Harry and his group said goodbye to Phoenix, they felt helpless.

At this moment, Harry and others truly realized that it seemed that no substantial results could be achieved through this ordinary method of trial and error.

However, to their surprise, they discovered that Phoenix did not leave the Great Hall as expected, but instead walked towards the Slytherin table.

Ron asked doubtfully:

"Draco, does Phoenix have any other friends in Slytherin?"

Draco thought about it for a moment, then answered uncertainly:

"It seems... except for Astoria, there is no other..."

Before she finished speaking, Hermione suddenly stood up and said anxiously:

"Stop eating, let's go and take a look!"

She turned her head and saw that Ron still had a chicken leg in his mouth. Without saying a word, she reached out and grabbed one side of the bone and pulled the chicken leg out of Ron's mouth.

"Come on!"

Ron looked resentful.

"Play is play, joke is joke, but please don't joke about chicken legs, okay?"

The four of them quickly and cautiously slipped to a corner of the Slytherin table, where they could just hear the conversation between Phoenix and Daphne.

"Why are you here? Where's my sister Astoria?"

As soon as Daphne saw Phoenix, an unknown fire surged in her heart and her brows were tightly furrowed as if they were about to form a "川" character.

There was a gleam of dissatisfaction and worry in her beautiful eyes, and she was obviously very angry that Phoenix did not bring Astoria with him.

However, Phoenix was not intimidated by Daphne's momentum. He took a deep breath and replied calmly:

"That's exactly why I'm here. Astoria...is not with me for the time being."

Hearing this, Daphne frowned even more tightly, and there was a hint of anxiety in her voice:

"Then where did she go? Tell me!"

Phoenix looked at Daphne silently, then said softly:

"She's in the school infirmary."

"What? The school infirmary?!"

Daphne's face turned pale in an instant, and she widened her eyes and looked at Phoenix in disbelief.

"Phoenix, didn't you promise me that you would take good care of Astoria? It's only been a few days, how come she's in the school infirmary? Are you kidding me?"

Her tone was full of questioning and accusation.

Facing Daphne's rebuke, Phoenix chose to remain silent. He lowered his head and stood there quietly, seemingly thinking about something.

Daphne's best friend Pansy also looked at Phoenix with a dissatisfied look at this time, that look seemed to say:

"Although this is Draco's brother and may be my brother in the future, you made a solemn promise before, but only a few days have passed and his sister is already in the school infirmary. This is really too much!"

"No, I have to go to the school infirmary right now. I have to go see Astoria."

As Daphne spoke, she stood up and pretended to walk out.

"Phoenix, just wait for me. I'll settle the score with you when I come back!"

Daphne glared at Phoenix and walked out.

However, Phoenix reached out to stop Daphne and said seriously:

"I said, when are you free? Tell me a specific time. I want to have a good talk with you."

At this moment, Phoenix stared at Daphne closely. His purple eyes were cold and indifferent, and he exuded a powerful aura of a superior, which made people look at him sideways.

Phoenix understood Daphne's eagerness to see Astoria, but he knew he had to find out as soon as possible why Astoria was so afraid of the basilisk.

He had a strong premonition in his heart that this matter might not be simple and might be quite difficult to handle.

Daphne and Pansy were shocked by the powerful aura that Phoenix suddenly showed. Daphne's expression became extremely unnatural, and she stammered:

"I don't have any classes this afternoon. You can find me in the Slytherin common room."

As soon as she finished speaking, Daphne walked quickly towards the door. She didn't even realize that her back was already soaked with a layer of fine beads of sweat.

Pansy, who was standing nearby, was too frightened to say a word. She just lowered her head and thought to herself:

"This feeling is simply a mixture of Professor Snape and Uncle Lucius when they are angry. It is really terrible!"

Phoenix glanced at Pansy calmly, then said to Daphne:

"Madam Pomfrey said Astoria needs to rest and you may not be able to go in."

Phoenix just gave a kind reminder and then left.

Phoenix had no classes today, so he took a good time to prepare for the evening's actions, and then walked towards the Slytherin common room.

Harry, who was eavesdropping on the side, looked at each other and everything was said without words.

After Phoenix returned to the common room, he thought about it and went back to the dormitory.

He sat on the edge of the bed and opened the system panel.

Phoenix didn't look at the content above. He kept scrolling down the page. Just when Phoenix's eyes were sore from reading, Phoenix finally found what he wanted.

The system panel reads:

[Hidden Task 1: Learn 10 spells (completed)

Reward: Six-Staff Light Prison Magic (already issued)

Hidden Mission 2: Learn the Patronus Spell (Unfinished)

Reward: System Mall Opened】

God knows how complicated Phoenix felt when he saw these two hidden missions for the first time.

He also discovered it by accident, before coming to Hogwarts.

He was speechless. You hid this hidden mission so well!

As for why Phoenix did not complete Hidden Mission 2 but only completed Hidden Mission 1, it was naturally because Phoenix could not learn the Patronus Charm before.

No matter how he recalled the pleasant past events, he could never grasp the essence of the Patronus spell, which made Phoenix feel extremely frustrated and depressed.

However, he was determined to try again today.

After all, he had not practiced the Patronus Charm seriously since entering Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Phoenix silently recalled his mother's warm embrace, his father's silent love, and his brother's endless doting.

He concentrated all his attention on incorporating these beautiful emotions into the wand, but unfortunately, only a faint light flashed from the tip of the wand and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Could it be that I will never be able to learn this spell?"

"These are obviously the happiest things in my heart!"

Phoenix muttered to himself, his face full of confusion and unwillingness.

Phoenix scratched his hair in distress, but suddenly he stopped, as if he had thought of something important.

He slapped his thigh hard and shouted excitedly: "No, if we want to talk about happy things, it seems there is one more!"

Phoenix began to recall in his mind the moments he had spent with Astoria.

The focused expressions on their faces when they were in class together, the warm atmosphere when they were eating together; Astoria's worried eyes, gentle expression... and those little things that warmed Phoenix's heart, were all playing in his mind like a movie.

These wonderful memories brought a happy smile to Phoenix's face unconsciously, and he was immersed in them and unable to extricate himself.

He realized that every moment with Astoria was so precious and happy.

These memories will be forever engraved in the deepest part of his heart and become one of the most precious treasures in his life.

Suddenly, without any warning, a dazzling light burst out from the tip of the wand in Phoenix's hand.

The light was extremely bright, but not dazzling. Instead, it gave off a strange feeling that warmed the heart.

It is like a ray of dawn that breaks through the darkness, illuminating the surrounding space and attracting people's attention.

The light is like the first ray of sunshine when the sun rises, soft and warm; it is also like the bright stars twinkling in the summer night sky, mysterious and charming.
