Traveling through Hogwarts, just wanting to have a love affair

Chapter 50: Holding Astor...

Phoenix was completely addicted to Astoria lying next to him.

His previous life of clamping the quilt is gone forever. Now he can clamp Astoria..., cough cough cough, and sleep while holding Astoria.

So Phoenix decided to trick Astoria into his dorm no matter what.

But how could Astoria be deceived by him so easily?

She tightened her hands on Phoenix's waist a little more, with such force that Phoenix couldn't help but scream.

"Ah, it hurts!"

"It's ok to just know the pain. Stop thinking about it all day and explain the matter honestly."

Astoria pouted and glared at Phoenix angrily, with dissatisfaction flashing in her eyes.

Phoenix looked at the angry girl, but felt an inexplicable love in his heart.

Even though he thought she was very cute, he still didn't dare to act rashly and could only continue to pretend to be pitiful.

"Yesterday I told Headmaster Dumbledore who the Heir of Slytherin was and where the Chamber of Secrets was."

Phoenix said aggrievedly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"Then Headmaster Dumbledore insisted on taking me to kill the monster in the Chamber of Secrets. I had no choice but to follow him."

Phoenix said softly as he looked at Astoria.

Astoria's eyes flashed with worry, she bit her lip lightly and nodded in understanding.

She seemed eager to know more details, yet a little afraid to hear those horrific plots.

Phoenix noted As he spoke, he paid attention to Astoria's expression, and was relieved to find that although she frowned slightly, she didn't show much discomfort or fear.

"But Headmaster Dumbledore wanted to train Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Draco, so..."

Phoenix glanced at Astoria cautiously, and seeing that she didn't react, he continued his story with confidence.

Phoenix told Astoria in detail about what happened last night, including how they found the entrance to the secret room and the battle with the basilisk.

But he purposely omitted the part about the curse because he knew Astoria didn't want him to know that.

Phoenix simply said:

"Harry and the other four were no match for the monster, and in the end I took action and dealt with the basilisk."

He tried to make his tone sound light, trying to ease Astoria's nerves.

Astoria listened attentively at first, as if she were there herself.

But as the story progresses, when she learns that Phoenix personally fought the basilisk, she can't help but look worried and asks anxiously:

"You're not hurt, are you?"

Phoenix felt a warm feeling in his heart, because he had lived in this world for twelve years and knew that this was a world where strength was respected.

However, Astoria's first concern was not whether he defeated the basilisk, but whether he was injured. It was rare to see such a girl.

After hearing this, Astoria breathed a sigh of relief, but when she heard Phoenix's next words, her brows frowned again.

"Astoria, I want to tell you that the Lion's Might and the Imperial Scroll is indeed powerful, but its side effects should not be underestimated."

Phoenix said seriously.

"Not only will it consume too much magic power as Headmaster Dumbledore said, but more importantly..."

“What’s more important?”

Astoria asked anxiously, and at the same time wanted to get up and said that she would ask Madam Pomfrey to come and let Phoenix tell her the details in person so that she could treat Phoenix.

But Phoenix had one arm around the girl's waist and the other around her shoulders, making it impossible for Astoria to move.

Then Phoenix smiled and said:

"It's really nothing serious, I just can't use magic for a week."

Astoria was stunned for a moment, then said angrily:

"You still think this is not a big deal? What if there are any sequelae?"

Phoenix touched the girl's fluffy hair, put away his smile, and did not directly answer the girl's question. Instead, he said to Astoria seriously:

"Astoria, do you think the magic of Lion Power and Goshoji Scroll is powerful?"

Although Astoria was still a little angry and wanted to get out of bed to find Madam Pomfrey, she was now being held by Phoenix and could not leave the bed at all.

In fact, it’s not that Astoria really has no way to break free from Phoenix’s hand. If she wants to break free from Phoenix’s hand, she only needs to use a little force.

After all, considering her strength and magical power, it is simply impossible for Phoenix to control her in his current state.

But Astoria saw that Phoenix had just fallen into a coma last night and had finally woken up, so his emotions must have been very sensitive.

If she forcibly broke free from Phoenix's hand, Phoenix would definitely feel lost and sad.

So Astoria chose to obey Phoenix and not resist him.

At the same time, she said to Phoenix in a gentle tone:

"Yes, our Phoenix is the best. Then let's go find Madam Pomfrey to check your body again?"

After hearing Astoria's words, Phoenix shook his head helplessly.

He originally wanted to have a good talk with Astoria and tell her why he did this.

But for some reason, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere seemed to become a little strange, as if he was being treated like a child.

However, Phoenix did not pay too much attention to these details, but chose to continue to explain his thoughts to Astoria.

Phoenix then continued:

"It is precisely because this magic is so powerful that I must not easily expose its weakness!"

"Otherwise, everyone just needs to delay time, or use human wave tactics, and wait for me to fall into a coma. And for the next week, I will be a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others."

"That's why I can't spread this matter, understand?"

Astoria nodded thoughtfully, but she felt something was wrong. She opened her mouth slightly and wanted to refute, but she didn't know where to start. She could only admit her mistake first:

"I see. I was too impulsive just now."

But soon, she started to act like a spoiled child again:

"But I'm really worried! What if something happens to you?"

Phoenix smiled helplessly:

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Astoria still refused to give in:

"Humph, you are wrong anyway. You should just wait for Headmaster Dumbledore to take action. Why do you have to act so stubbornly? It's your fault."

Phoenix looked at the girl in his arms helplessly, his heart full of doting:

"Okay, okay, it's my fault. I will never do this again."

Some might say that Astoria is too headstrong to even apologize.

But in fact, this is a reflection of the deep affection between them.

And Phoenix just wants to say:

"If he doesn't love his girl, who will?"

"Audience, sir?"

Just kidding, it must be him, Finny... cough cough cough, dear audience!

What's more, he knew that Astoria already understood the seriousness of the matter and was just a little arrogant.

And he was hugging Astoria. You know, they haven't officially established a relationship yet. This is the biggest concession a girl can make.

"So what are you going to do this week?"

"The professors will surely find out when you're in class, right?"

Astoria suddenly thought of a key question and asked worriedly.

"This is indeed a problem!"

Phoenix also nodded, then his eyes turned and a sly smile appeared on his face:

"But this is not the most important issue!"

"Ah, so what's the most important question?"

Astoria asked nervously, she couldn't help but feel worried for Phoenix.

Phoenix looked at the girl's nervous expression and couldn't help laughing. He said:

"Hahaha, of course it's my daily life. Think about it, when I get up every day, do I need to use a cleansing spell to wash myself?"

"And when you go to the toilet every night, do you also need fluorescent flashes to see the road clearly? The same is true for many other aspects."

He sighed and continued:

"Anyway, I can't use magic now. I'm like a baby and can't take care of myself at all!"

You have to know that Hogwarts and even the entire wizarding world do not have a complete power system, so there is no possibility of lighting equipment such as light bulbs.

So while Phoenix may be exaggerating, what he said is not entirely wrong.

"This……"

Astoria frowned and fell into deep thought. She began to think about how to help Phoenix solve this problem. After all, they were all "friends" and should support and help each other.

After a while, Astoria nodded thoughtfully and asked softly:

"It seems to be the case... So what are you going to do?"

She seemed to be aware of the problem, but hadn't come up with a good solution yet.

"More candles and Muggle soap?"

Astoria raised an eyebrow and answered tentatively.

He tried to suggest some possible ways to solve this problem.

However, Phoenix frowned and said firmly:

"No no no."

Obviously, he was not happy with the proposal.

Phoenix shook his head and explained seriously:

"If I prepare these things, won't it be obvious that people will be suspicious?"

He understood that if he prepared these items on purpose, it would attract other people's attention and suspicion.
