Traveling through Hogwarts, just wanting to have a love affair
Chapter 36 The Curse of the Greengrass Family
"Oh, Headmaster Dumbledore, I'm in very good spirits right now. I don't feel tired or sleepy at all. I really don't need to rest."
Phoenix replied in a sincere tone.
"Is that so? However, my dear child, you must know that adequate sleep is very important for your growth. Perhaps it would be better to go back to the dormitory and rest for a while."
Headmaster Dumbledore suggested this with a amiable smile on his face.
Humph, this cunning old guy! Phoenix couldn't help but curse inwardly.
"Hahaha, don't worry, Mr. Principal. In fact, it's because I slept too much last night, and now I'm not sleepy at all."
Phoenix tried to make his expression look natural and explained with a forced smile.
Headmaster Dumbledore stared at Phoenix silently, and seemed quite satisfied with his answer, thinking to himself:
"Hey, little guy, let's see how long you can pretend."
"So, Headmaster Dumbledore, what exactly did you mention about Astoria?"
Phoenix, who could no longer suppress his curiosity, asked eagerly. He noticed that Headmaster Dumbledore's expression revealed a mysterious feeling, and concluded that he must know something.
"Let's go to my office."
Headmaster Dumbledore did not answer directly. Instead, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, then turned and walked towards the headmaster's office.
Phoenix followed his footsteps closely, his heart full of curiosity and anticipation.
When they finally arrived at the door of the principal's office, Phoenix noticed the majestic stone lion.
It crouched there quietly, as if guarding the secret behind the door.
However, the next scene made Phoenix's eyes widen. Headmaster Dumbledore said softly to the stone lion at the door:
"Sizzle honey candy."
The miracle happened!
The stone lion that was originally sleeping on the ground slowly stood up and moved its body to make an entrance large enough for them to pass through.
Phoenix was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. This was the first time he saw such a magical thing.
In fact, this was Phoenix's second time in the principal's office.
At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little more awe towards this mysterious office.
The Hogwarts Headmaster's Office is a place full of mystery and magic. It is located on the upper floors of Hogwarts Castle.
As soon as Phoenix entered the office, he could feel a solemn atmosphere. The room was spacious and bright, with a high ceiling, and the walls were covered with ancient magic portraits, all of which had their eyes slightly closed, as if they were sleeping.
The headmaster's desk was located in the center of the room. It was made of thick oak and was filled with various magical items and documents.
On one side of the room was a row of huge bookshelves filled with thick magic books whose pages had turned yellow, exuding the breath of time.
On the other side is a huge window, through which you can overlook the entire Hogwarts campus, including the green lawns, the sparkling lake and the ancient castle buildings.
In the corner of the room, there are some strange magical plants. They sway gently under the faint magical light, adding a touch of vitality to the whole room.
In addition, there are some mysterious magical instruments and decorations scattered in various corners of the room, which makes people imagine the power and stories they contain.
Next to the bookshelf stood a fiery red phoenix, and Phoenix thought:
"This should be Phoenix Fox."
It sat on a golden perch, its feathers glowing brightly like flames.
Fox was huge and beautiful, with feathers of red and gold hues that shone brilliantly.
Its eyes are like burning flames, revealing wisdom and majesty.
Its presence gives people a sense of tranquility and power. Its feathers flutter gently, as if swaying in the breeze, while emitting a warm and peaceful aura.
But Phoenix had no time to care about these messy trivial matters now. The only thing he cared about was what Headmaster Dumbledore said about Astoria.
At this time, Headmaster Dumbledore smiled and waved to him:
"Come on, kid, sit down first. Do you need something to eat?"
"No, thank you."
Phoenix replied politely.
"Principal Dumbledore, you just mentioned..."
As soon as he entered the principal's office, Phoenix couldn't wait to ask.
However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a middle-aged wizard in a portrait at the back of the office:
"As a little wizard from Slytherin College, you have to learn to be patient."
At this time, the middle-aged witch in another portrait also spoke up:
"Phineas, shut up and let Headmaster Dumbledore do the talking."
"Delis, you are so mean to me!" The wizard named Phineas was obviously a little unhappy.
"Phineas!"
Delis shouted louder, as if trying to quiet the other person down.
Seeing that the two were on the verge of quarreling, the other principals opened their eyes. At this time, a wizard with a serious and solemn look suddenly spoke:
"Phineas, Delis, please be aware of the situation. After all, there are children here! You two should restrain yourself a little."
Phineas and Delis heard someone talking, and when they looked closely they saw it was Evra. They both felt embarrassed.
Phineas gave an awkward smile and then didn't dare to say another word;
Delis glared at Phineas fiercely and snorted twice, but then she closed her mouth and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Evra turned to look at Headmaster Dumbledore and gave him a look, indicating that he could continue the introduction.
Headmaster Dumbledore nodded in understanding, and then said to Phoenix with a smile:
"These are the former principals of our school. Their portraits are hung here to commemorate their outstanding contributions."
"In fact, I decided to tell you about Miss Greengrass after discussing it with the previous headmasters."
"Because we think you have the ability to know this."
Phoenix is somewhat puzzled:
"Do you have this ability? Don't you have the right to know?"
Headmaster Dumbledore smiled helplessly, nodded and said:
"Yes. If you are not capable enough, we will not tell you, because even if we tell you, you will definitely not be able to solve it, and it will only add to your troubles."
Phoenix's expression suddenly became serious. He stared at Headmaster Dumbledore and asked, "What happened to Astoria?"
Headmaster Dumbledore frowned slightly, as if thinking about how to answer this question. After a while, he coughed lightly, and then said slowly: "This is a long story..."
Phoenix's heart suddenly tightened, and he had a feeling that the news he would hear next might be too much for him to bear.
Sure enough, Headmaster Dumbledore continued, "Phoenix, have you ever heard of the term 'blood-cursed orc'?"
Phoenix shook his head blankly. He had never heard such an unfamiliar term.
Headmaster Dumbledore sighed and said:
"This is not surprising. Even some wizards of the older generation know very little about the Blood Curse Orcs."
Phoenix became increasingly uneasy, and he could not wait to ask:
"So, what is the relationship between Astoria and the Blood Curse Orcs?"
Headmaster Dumbledore was silent for a moment, as if hesitating whether to tell the truth. Finally, he took a deep breath and said solemnly:
"Ms. Greengrass, she is a blood-cursed orc."
Phoenix's eyes widened, his face full of astonishment and confusion. He couldn't understand why Astoria was a blood-cursed orc, what did this mean?
For a moment, countless questions flooded his mind, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
Phoenix felt as if someone was squeezing his heart tightly, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Although he had never heard of the Blood Curse Orcs, it didn't sound like a good thing.
Headmaster Dumbledore continued slowly:
"The blood curse of orcs is a curse, a mysterious black magic. This curse is passed down through the maternal line and only passed on to girls. The Greengrass family is the cursed family."
"Girls from the Greengrass family are very likely to inherit this curse. Witches who inherit this curse will have a black five-pointed star on their right shoulder."
"This curse will turn these witches into blood-cursed orcs, causing them to gradually transform into animals."
"Astoria's mother announced that she died of a serious illness due to postpartum weakness, but that is not true."
"After Astoria's mother gave birth to Astoria, a curse took effect and she turned into a basilisk. It was Mr. Greengrass who killed the basilisk himself."
Dumbledore said many things in one breath that shocked Phoenix greatly. For a moment, he found it difficult to accept.
"Then Astoria..., did she also inherit this curse?"
Phoenix asked in a hoarse voice.
"Alas, that's right, Phoenix. Astoria inherited her mother's curse, but Daphne didn't."
Headmaster Dumbledore sighed and said helplessly.
"Then is there any way..."
"nothing now."
Before Phoenix could finish his words, he was interrupted by Headmaster Dumbledore, who said:
"The curse on Astoria has been extremely serious since she was born. When Astoria was born, she already had the tendency to become a blood-cursed orc. It was me who suppressed the curse for Astoria."
"But I can only suppress the Astoria curse until I'm 18, after that..."
"I have no other choice..."
