"Animagus?"

Professor Snape frowned and objected:

"No, I don't agree. It's too early for you to learn this now."

Phoenix said helplessly: "But Professor Snape, I have learned a lot of spells, and I also know my own abilities. As long as you teach me the Animagus method, I will be able to learn it!"

Professor Snape shook his head and said seriously:

"This is not a question of ability, but a question of age. Animagus requires extremely high magical talent and skills. Even the best wizards can only master it after adulthood. You are only thirteen years old now, which is far from meeting the requirements."

“But I really want to learn!”

Phoenix said anxiously:

"Just let me try, just once. If I fail, I will never do this again."

Professor Snape looked at him deeply, as if thinking about something, and then asked:

"Why do you want to learn Animagus?"

Phoenix thought about it and answered seriously:

"Because this operation made me realize that my strength still has many shortcomings. If I encounter a strong enemy, I may not be able to protect myself and the people around me."

"And Animagus can transform me into an animal, giving me greater strength and speed, so I can better deal with danger."

Professor Snape listened and nodded slightly to show his understanding, but still said firmly:

"I understand your thoughts, but you must wait until the right time to learn Animagus. Until then, you should focus on improving your basic magical skills and knowledge."

Astoria also heard that Phoenix wanted to learn a kind of magic that seemed dangerous, so she asked Professor Snape:

"Professor Snape, is this kind of magic dangerous?"

Professor Snape turned to look at Astoria and explained grimly:

"If Phoenix fails, he will become half-human, half-beast, and will never be able to recover."

After saying this, Professor Snape turned his gaze to Phoenix, with a glimmer of interest in his eyes, as if he was looking forward to what would happen next.

Astoria frowned slightly when she heard this, and looked at Phoenix with suspicion and worry, and asked:

"Aren't you going to explain it to me?"

Her eyes were sharp and determined, as if they wanted to penetrate Phoenix's heart and find the truth.

Facing Astoria's sharp questioning, Phoenix couldn't help but feel a chill on his back. He swallowed nervously and explained carefully:

"Actually, the situation is not as bad as Professor Snape said. First of all, we need to meet a series of prerequisites. If every step can be completed smoothly, there is actually a considerable possibility of success!"

He tried to sound more confident, but he was filled with trepidation.

Astoria was silent for a moment, her beautiful big eyes fixed on Phoenix, revealing deep confusion and amusement.

She never expected that Phoenix's so-called good idea was so absurd, and could even be said to be a way to commit suicide.

In order to avoid attending class, he actually came up with such a ridiculous idea, which really made her laugh and cry.

For a moment, the office was silent. No one spoke, and even the breathing was so light that it was almost inaudible.

Although Phoenix felt that he was thick-skinned enough, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed at this moment.

He muttered to himself:

"Oh no, what a mistake! I actually forgot that the success rate of Animagus magic in the wizarding world is extremely low..."

However, he consoled himself:

"But I am a time traveler, how could I fail?"

Phoenix decided to try again. He looked at Professor Snape with expectation and earnestness, his eyes flashing with determination and desire.

He thought that if he could get Professor Snape's support, it would be much easier to convince Astoria.

Professor Snape looked at Phoenix and suddenly asked:

"Does your father know about this?"

These words pierced the silence like a sharp sword, making the atmosphere in the whole room tense.

When Phoenix heard the word "father", his originally happy expression instantly disappeared, and his face immediately fell, revealing a bitter expression:

"My father has stopped writing to us since Draco, Harry and the other two started playing together."

Professor Snape glanced at the boy in front of him and comforted him softly:

"In fact, your father still cares about you very much. He once asked me to take good care of you two."

Hearing this, Phoenix was suddenly stunned, because he never expected to hear such words from Professor Snape.

However, Professor Snape then said:

"So now, I can't agree to you learning Animagus at this age. Let's talk about it when you are a little older."

Phoenix was a little overwhelmed for a moment and didn't know how to respond.

After all, Professor Snape stood at the highest moral point and taught himself as an elder. What could he say in the face of such a situation?

Although Phoenix could understand the good intentions of Professor Snape and his father, he still felt extremely lost deep down.

It feels really bad to be treated like a child, as if you will never get the respect and trust you deserve.

But no matter what, he understood that all this was out of love and protection for him, so he silently accepted Professor Snape's decision.

Astoria also felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere at this time, and she sensitively noticed the change in Phoenix's mood.

So she quickly grabbed Phoenix's hand and said to Professor Snape with an apologetic look on her face:

"I'm sorry to bother you, Professor Snape. We'll leave first. I'll go back and try to persuade Phoenix."
