Traveling through Hogwarts, just wanting to have a love affair

After Phoenix left, he walked back to the dormitory alone, thinking in his mind:

"It seems that what Astoria said does make sense, but it's better to let things take their own course."

Phoenix didn't have many friends in his previous life and knew little about how to make friends.

Just as Phoenix was deep in thought, suddenly, the voice of Headmaster Dumbledore came from the side.

"Mr. Malfoy, did you go to visit Miss Greengrass just now?"

Phoenix was shocked and wondered why this person walked without making any sound!

Just like a ghost!

He quickly looked to the side and saw that Headmaster Dumbledore was standing next to him.

"Principal Dumbledore? Yes, but you are not allowed to enter the school infirmary, so I just looked outside and did not go in."

Phoenix replied, pretending to be a little nervous.

"When did you come?"

Phoenix didn't dare tell the truth. If Headmaster Dumbledore knew that he could perform an advanced Disillusionment Charm, things might be troublesome.

After all, if something happens in school, I will most likely be listed as a suspect at the first moment.

"Oh, I just came. I just finished my meal and came out to digest the food. Hahaha."

Headmaster Dumbledore said with a smile.

However, Phoenix didn't believe it. This place is not close to the auditorium, who would walk 3000 meters to digest food?

He muttered to himself.

Headmaster Dumbledore seemed to notice Phoenix's doubts, and then said:

"I just met Harry and the others. Miss Granger asked me to apologize to you and Miss Greengrass. She was inconsiderate in this matter."

"It's okay. I don't really care. Just don't misunderstand Astoria. It's not a good thing for a girl like her to have such a bad reputation."

Phoenix shook his head and said in a nonchalant tone.

But in fact, he still cared a little bit in his heart.

After all, if Astoria misunderstood, that jealous little girl would definitely be angry.

"Phoenix? Can I call you that?"

Headmaster Dumbledore couldn't help feeling relieved to hear that Phoenix was so sensible.

He looked at the smart and kind-hearted child in front of him and felt a natural liking for him.

This child not only has outstanding talent and wisdom, but more importantly, he also knows how to empathize with other people's feelings.

This quality is rare in the younger generation! Headmaster Dumbledore secretly sighed.

"Of course, Headmaster Dumbledore."

Phoenix replied with a smile.

"What a good boy. So Phoenix, are you fully prepared for what's going to happen tonight?"

Headmaster Dumbledore suddenly stared into Phoenix's eyes, his expression became extremely serious, and asked seriously.

Phoenix met Headmaster Dumbledore's gaze without flinching and nodded firmly:

"Principal Dumbledore, please rest assured. Although there may be many dangers tonight, I am ready to deal with them.

“In fact, I know you didn’t want me to get involved. After all, it is indeed full of risks.

"However, there are some things that can only be solved by me personally, so please believe in my ability and determination."

Then, Phoenix took a deep breath and continued:

“Moreover, if you can let your magical phoenix help peck out the basilisk’s eyes, I believe that with your extraordinary strength, you will be able to protect me easily.

"As long as you are by my side, I have enough confidence to face any difficulties."

Headmaster Dumbledore looked at Phoenix with a glimmer of admiration in his eyes.

He understood that there must be an important reason why Phoenix insisted on participating in this operation.

Perhaps this young man is hiding some unknown secret or mission.

“Well, Phoenix, since you are so determined, I will do my best to keep you safe.

"But the premise is that you must follow my instructions and not act on your own."

Headmaster Dumbledore said in a serious tone.

Phoenix nodded quickly and responded:

"Okay, Headmaster Dumbledore, I will be obedient, please rest assured.

"Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely live up to your expectations."

"In fact, there is one more thing I must tell you, and please allow me to express my deepest apologies for this."

Headmaster Dumbledore looked a little guilty at this moment, and he spoke slowly.

When Phoenix heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little surprised, but he soon felt relieved.

He immediately understood the headmaster's intention - he wanted to give Harry, the savior, more opportunities to practice!

So Phoenix nodded in agreement without hesitation:

"No problem at all. The plan itself is flexible and adaptable. Moreover, I have made some minor adjustments to the original plan."

"Hahaha, what a sensible child!" Headmaster Dumbledore laughed with relief.

When Headmaster Dumbledore heard the first half, a delighted smile appeared on his face;

However, when he heard the rest of the words, he couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Oh? Which part of the plan did you change?"

Dumbledore was secretly surprised. After all, the whole plan was originally proposed by Phoenix. Logically, he should have thought carefully about every aspect of it.

“At that time, I will need your help to control the basilisk and make it stay for a while.

“My friend has developed a new type of potion and wants to test it out.

"Once the experiment is complete, we can get rid of the basilisk directly!"

Phoenix said in a calm tone.

"Kill it directly? Aren't you planning to send the basilisk to Malfoy Manor for research?"

Headmaster Dumbledore asked, becoming more and more surprised.

"No need. He suddenly changed his mind and is no longer interested in the basilisk."

Phoenix replied lightly.

Headmaster Dumbledore's eyes flashed with doubt, but he soon returned to smiling and said:

"No problem. In that case, let's carry out the original plan. The basilisk belongs to you, and you have the right to decide how to deal with it."

Phoenix nodded slightly, with a barely perceptible smile on his lips, and said softly:

"Principal Dumbledore, since the basilisk is dead, its body should be given to Professor Snape. I believe he will love this generous gift."

As soon as he finished speaking, Headmaster Dumbledore nodded slightly to show his agreement.

However, beneath that seemingly calm face, the tenderness in his eyes became deeper and richer.

"What a kind child!"

Dumbledore sighed inwardly.

"He cares about the safety of his classmates and is willing to give up his personal desires. He also knows how to respect his teachers. It is rare for someone to be so well-behaved and sensible.

How could I have mistakenly thought that he could become the third Dark Lord? This is absolutely ridiculous!"

Unfortunately, Dumbledore did not realize at this time that he had made a mistake again.

And this wrong judgment will bring him a near-death blow in the future!

However, these are all afterthoughts, so let’s leave them aside for now. Let’s get back to the point…

Phoenix asked cautiously at this moment:

"Will there be other professors coming to assist you in the evening?"

In fact, it’s not that Phoenix doubts the personal ability of Headmaster Dumbledore, but he simply feels that if there are more people, he can take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, and doing so will be more stable and safer.

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, Phoenix. This matter involves a lot of people, so the fewer people who know about it, the better, isn't that right?"

"Ok."

Phoenix responded helplessly.

"By the way, with your ability to predict, can you predict the success or failure of tonight's operation?"

"I can't do that. My gift of prophecy is not under my control. I only see those scenes in my dreams."

Phoenix still used the same excuse as before. After all, this is a world full of magic. As the saying goes, I dream of Zhuang Zhou and Zhuang Zhou dreams of me. What's wrong with that?

"Okay, that's a bit regretful."

A look of regret appeared on Headmaster Dumbledore's face, and then he continued walking forward.

Phoenix couldn't stand it anymore, he finally said:

"Principal Dumbledore, we have already walked around Hogwarts Castle several times! Isn't it time for you to go back to the dormitory and take a nap? After all, you will have to come out in person tonight."

The meaning of these words is obvious - please stop taking me for a walk and let me go!

However, Headmaster Dumbledore seemed to have not understood Phoenix's hint at all, and replied with a smile:

"It doesn't matter. I'm an old man. I don't get much sleep when I'm old. I'm still energetic!"

Phoenix secretly groaned in his heart, thinking:

This old man is really cunning!

"Oh, by the way, Phoenix, if you feel tired, you can go back and rest first."

Just when Phoenix was about to take the opportunity to slip away, Headmaster Dumbledore suddenly said this.

Phoenix was delighted and was about to say goodbye to the principal and quickly escape from the clutches of this "old fox".

But who would have thought that the next sentence that Headmaster Dumbledore said would make Phoenix swallow back the farewell words that were just on the tip of his tongue...

"I was going to tell you about Miss Greengrass, what a shame."

The corners of Phoenix's mouth twitched a little. It's over. My family, what should I do now that I'm being held captive? I'm waiting online. It's very urgent!
