Traveling through Hogwarts, just wanting to have a love affair

"Gellert Grindelwald?"

When Phoenix heard this unfamiliar name, he frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said:

"Never heard of it!"

He carefully recalled the people he knew, but there was no memory of this person in his mind.

So he narrowed his eyes, looked at the other person suspiciously, with a hint of vigilance in his tone.

"Then what are you doing here?"

Grindelwald seemed to have anticipated such a reaction, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

However, his eyes remained cold and distant, making him difficult to understand.

Then, he said something that shocked Phoenix:

"From today on, I will be your teacher."

Phoenix stared at the man in front of him with wide eyes in disbelief, too surprised to speak.

After a while, he came back to his senses and asked stutteringly:

"No...no, you...will be my teacher?"

He tried to calm himself down, took a deep breath, and continued:

"Actually, I feel like I can just study with the professors at Hogwarts. There's no need to look for other teachers..."

However, before Phoenix could finish his words, Grindelwald's cold eyes pierced him like a sharp arrow, making him feel a chill.

Grindelwald interrupted him expressionlessly and said coldly:

"You have no right to say no."

Phoenix couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect the other party to be so domineering and unreasonable.

He was a little amused and wondered where on earth this old man came from and why he was so arrogant?

Phoenix stared at Fox with wide eyes, puzzled, and thought:

Who is this person brought here?

However, Fawkes stood firmly beside Grindelwald, with no intention of coming to help.

Phoenix wanted to say something, but Grindelwald seemed a little impatient and took out a leaf from his chest.

With a "swish" sound, the leaf flew past as fast as lightning, brushed past Phoenix's head, and landed steadily on the wall behind him.

“Knocking?”

Phoenix almost jumped in shock.

"This is actually picking leaves and flying flowers? And it's a unique skill of the ancient Eastern country! Who is this person? Could it be a fellow villager?"

Phoenix couldn't help but touch the top of his head and swallowed with lingering fear.

At this moment, Grindelwald said expressionlessly:

"Put this leaf in your mouth for a month. I will come back to check it after a month. There must be no damage!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Grindelwald grabbed Fawkes' tail again, and the two of them turned into blazing flames and disappeared in the room in an instant.

Phoenix was stunned and couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart:

"What's wrong with this old man? He's quite arrogant!"

However, despite some doubts in his mind, he was not worried that his life would be in danger.

After all, this old man was brought here by Fawkes, and he must have come here with the consent of Headmaster Dumbledore.

Thinking of this, Phoenix felt a little relieved.

Phoenix turned his head and his eyes fell on the leaf. He saw that it was deeply embedded in the solid wall, as if it had merged with the wall.

He carefully stretched out his hand and tried to pull out the leaf. Every time he pulled it out, his heart beat faster, fearing that he would break the leaf by accident.

Finally, after some effort, Phoenix successfully pulled out the leaf.

He breathed a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced:

"Fortunately, it didn't break directly."

Then Phoenix looked carefully at the leaf in his hand.

He was surprised to find that it was actually a single leaf of mandrake!

You know, the first step in learning Animagus is to do it for a whole month (from full moon to full moon).

A single Mandrake leaf must be kept in the mouth at all times and must not be swallowed or removed from the mouth at any time.

"I want to learn about Animagus. How did that old man know about it?"

"Could it be that the conversation between Astoria and I just now was overheard?"

The more Phoenix thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He was filled with doubts and a little unhappy.

He felt as if he was being led by the nose, and this feeling made him very uncomfortable.

He decided to go to Headmaster Dumbledore and find out the truth.

Phoenix did what he said and quickly ran to the principal's office, but the stone lions at the door stopped him.

"Password!"

The stone lion lay on the ground, yawned, and asked lazily.

Phoenix was secretly happy because he had already made sufficient preparations.

He read out all the sweets that Headmaster Dumbledore liked to eat, just like naming dishes.

"Lemon Sherbets."

"Sizzle honey candy."

"Pile of cockroaches."

"..."

Hearing this strange answer, the stone lion was obviously stunned. It blinked its round eyes a few times, as if thinking about something.

According to the rules, today's password is "Sizzling Honey Candy", but the situation is a bit complicated now because the person in front of me has already said many other dessert names.

Is the answer correct or incorrect?

On the other side, Phoenix was also very confused.

He tried hard to recall the various desserts he had eaten and named all the desserts he could think of.

However, facing the stone lions in front of him, he didn't know how to judge whether he had passed the test.

Just like that, the man and the lion fell into an awkward stare-eye confrontation, and the atmosphere became unusually quiet.

Finally, Phoenix could no longer bear the silence. He took the lead in breaking the deadlock and shouted:

"Open the door!"

The voice echoed in the air, with a hint of urgency and impatience.

The stone lion was silent for a moment, thinking to himself:

This little guy has been here before, and Headmaster Dumbledore must have something to look for him, and no one else has been seen entering so far.

Thinking this way, it shouldn't disturb Headmaster Dumbledore.

After some thought, the stone lion decided to trust its own judgment. It slowly moved its huge body that was blocking the door, leaving a wide enough passage for Phoenix to enter smoothly.

Phoenix took a deep breath, opened the door, and walked into the principal's office.

However, as soon as he stepped into the room, he immediately regretted it.

The scene before him stunned him - Headmaster Dumbledore and Grindelwald were unusually close to each other, their faces almost touching, and they looked like they would kiss each other at any time.

Their clothes looked very disheveled, as if they had just been through a fierce battle.

“Ah! My eyes!”

Phoenix screamed in his heart, but said with a forced smile:

"Sorry, I came at the wrong time, please continue, haha..."

After saying that, he quickly turned around and prepared to leave this embarrassing scene.

Just as he tried to close the door and escape quickly, a huge hand suddenly grabbed the back of his collar and pulled him tightly.

Phoenix's heart tightened, realizing that he could no longer escape.

He turned slowly and his eyes fell on the person behind him.

The familiar pair of heterochromatic pupils were staring at him coldly, revealing a chilling aura.

Phoenix muttered to himself:

"It's over!"

Ten minutes later, Phoenix stood pitifully in the principal's office with a big bump on his head, like a kitten that had been taught a lesson.

Headmaster Dumbledore looked at the child in front of him with a kind smile on his face:

"Phoenix, relax, sit down first."

He pointed to the sofa next to him and motioned Phoenix to sit down.

Phoenix sat down carefully, but glanced at Grindelwald from time to time.

Grindelwald was seen teasing Fawkes and seemed to be in a good mood.

Headmaster Dumbledore smiled and said softly:

"Gellert's personality can be a little irritable sometimes, but he's not always like this. Please be more tolerant of him."

Phoenix listened and muttered to himself:

"This is not temper, this is violence!"

But he didn't dare show it, he just nodded to show that he understood.

"By the way, Phoenix, I hope you can understand what just happened. We just fell accidentally, so our clothes are a little messy. Do you think this explanation is acceptable?"

Headmaster Dumbledore's tone remained gentle, but his eyes were fixed on Phoenix, as if observing his reaction.

Phoenix felt helpless. He knew it was just an excuse, but what could he do in the face of two powerful wizards?

Just at this moment, Grindelwald suddenly turned his head, his eyes full of threats.

He reached out and gently patted Phoenix's shoulder, causing Phoenix to shudder.

Phoenix almost cried, thinking to himself:

"These two old guys are so mean. They actually teamed up to bully a little wizard like me!"

However, he still pretended to be submissive on the surface. After all, he didn't want to offend these two big guys.

So he could only force a smile and answer:

"Well, I understand, I understand..."

He secretly swore that if he encountered this situation again, he would find a way to escape.

Otherwise, he was really worried that he would be badly beaten by these two old guys.

"Principal Dumbledore, I accept it. I noticed there was a bug in your eye just now. Just now, this old man...old man was blowing your eyes."

After hearing this, Headmaster Dumbledore smiled with satisfaction and nodded slightly. Then he changed the subject to the important matter and said with a smile:

"I know the reason you came here is to ask about Gellert, right?"

Phoenix was shocked. He didn't expect that his thoughts could be seen through by the other party at a glance, but he still nodded.

Dumbledore continued:

"Gellert was a good friend of mine when I was young. He is an excellent wizard. You will not suffer any loss if you become his apprentice in the future."

However, Phoenix looked embarrassed and said hesitantly:

"Principal Dumbledore, this is not a question of whether or not you will suffer a loss. It's just that this happened too suddenly."

He was filled with resistance. After all, he had seen the old man's methods before, and that kind of strength was not something that ordinary people could withstand.

And looking at the big bump on his head, he felt that this old man was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

If I really want to become his disciple, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

Dumbledore seemed to notice Phoenix's worry and quickly comforted him:

"It's okay, it's okay. Relationships take time to develop. As long as you spend more time together, you will naturally develop a deep relationship between master and disciple."

"As the saying goes, time breeds love!"

Headmaster Dumbledore said with a smile.

Phoenix seriously suspected that Headmaster Dumbledore was driving, but he had no evidence.
