Phoenix sighed helplessly, looking at the girl in front of him, his eyes full of pampering and tenderness.

He shook his head slightly, as if amused by her naivety.

Then he reached out and gently took Astoria's small hand.

"Well, my little fool,"

He said softly, with a hint of teasing and laughter in his voice, and said:

“In my mind, there are only two kinds of people in this world.”

Astoria blinked curiously and asked:

“Which two?”

Phoenix raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and answered seriously:

“One is Astoria and the other is everyone else.”

Hearing this, Astoria's cheeks instantly flushed with shyness.

She lowered her head, the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised, and her heart was filled with sweetness.

Phoenix couldn't help laughing when he saw her shy look.

He sighed silently in his heart:

"Sure enough, those cheesy love words from my previous life are the most useful! In modern society, even I would find them a little embarrassing, but they are just right in this magical world."

Just then, Astoria raised her head and looked at Phoenix with a firm gaze.

She took his hand and led him to the Slytherin common room.

The two figures gradually walked away, leaving behind a warm atmosphere.

After returning to the common room, Astoria gently pulled Phoenix to an empty seat and sat down. They were both very quiet and started to do their homework.

However, Phoenix looked at the thick stack of homework in front of him with a sad face, his heart full of pain.

He couldn't help but muttered:

"I had so much hardship in my previous life because I had too much homework. Why do I have to study and do homework in this life? What kind of fate is this?"

Then, Phoenix sat there like a statue, staring at his quill, and this lasted for a full half hour.

Astoria, who was standing by, quickly noticed that Phoenix was absent-minded. She frowned slightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.

She suddenly stretched out her hand, pinched Phoenix's waist hard, and warned him seriously:

"Do your homework carefully and stop slacking off!"

"Hiss!" Phoenix suddenly felt a sharp pain, which made him gasp and immediately come to his senses.

He looked at Astoria with a face full of grievance and said pitifully:

"Astoria, I feel like I'm sick!"

Astoria frowned her delicate eyebrows, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and asked softly:

"What disease? Is it serious?"

Phoenix pouted and answered with a wronged look:

"I think I have a strange disease. Every time I see a book, I can't help but be dazed..."

Phoenix covered his chest, looking listless, and said weakly: "I feel like my body has been hollowed out..."

Astoria looked at him speechlessly, rolled her eyes, and secretly complained in her heart, how can this guy be so pretentious?

It’s a good thing she was worried just now!

But she still kept a straight face and said to Phoenix seriously:

"Don't play tricks on me, just do your homework! I'll check it later. If you don't complete the task, your reward tonight will be cancelled!"

Upon hearing this, Phoenix immediately perked up, straightened his back, and answered confidently:

"Don't worry, I will complete the task!"

After saying that, he obediently picked up the pen and began to work hard.

Seeing him like this, Astoria nodded with satisfaction and turned around to continue doing her homework.

However, although Phoenix looked serious on the surface, his mind had actually long been distracted.

While he was doing his homework carelessly, he secretly looked at Astoria and thought:

"Wow, Astoria is becoming more and more like a housewife. She's getting cuter the more I look at her!"

As he thought about it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

While Astoria wasn't paying attention, Phoenix quickly glanced at her, and after confirming that the girl didn't notice his little move, he began to move cautiously.

He took out a piece of parchment from his schoolbag, spread it flat on the table, then took out a quill pen and dipped it in ink.

Relying on the appearance in memory, he quietly drew a portrait of Astoria in a corner of the parchment.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, Astoria finished all her homework. She put down the feather pen in her hand and gently rubbed her temple.

Then he turned his head and looked at Phoenix beside him, wanting to see how his homework was going.

However, when her eyes fell on Phoenix, she found that he was looking at her nervously, as if he was afraid that she would discover some secret.

What made Astoria even more surprised was that Phoenix quickly put the parchment in his hand away and stuffed it directly into his arms.

This action aroused Astoria's vigilance. She couldn't help but narrow her eyes and asked suspiciously:

"You weren't just daydreaming again, were you?"

Hearing Astoria's question, Phoenix's expression changed slightly, and he quickly denied it:

"No, why would I be in a daze? I was just doing my homework seriously, okay!"

He tried to make his voice sound confident and determined.

Astoria raised an eyebrow, clearly not entirely convinced by Phoenix's answer.

But she also knew that Phoenix had indeed been writing, but she didn't know what he was writing.

So, she decided not to ask any further questions for the time being, but nodded to show that she accepted Phoenix's explanation.

"Okay, then after you finish eating, remember to hand in your homework for me to check."

Astoria said in a lighthearted tone.

Hearing this, Phoenix was secretly delighted, thinking that he had successfully escaped a disaster.

He quickly nodded and agreed, saying that he would definitely hand in the homework on time.

However, he didn't notice the sly glint in Astoria's eyes.

The moment he let down his guard, Astoria suddenly reached out and snatched the parchment from Phoenix's arms in the blink of an eye.

"Don't!"

Phoenix's face showed horror, and he reached out to take back the parchment, but it was too late. Astoria quickly stuffed it into her chest.

With a sly smile on her face, she stared at Phoenix provocatively and said softly:

"Come on, it's right here. Come and get it if you can."

Phoenix suddenly became listless like a deflated ball.

Although he was unwilling, he did not dare to step forward easily. After all, he did not have the courage to challenge Astoria now.

I thought to myself, "You better be so arrogant after graduation. Then I'll show you how I'll deal with you! Humph!"

Astoria couldn't help but feel proud when she saw Phoenix's cowering look.

She turned around, carefully unfolded the parchment in her hand, and examined it carefully.

Suddenly, she cried out in surprise:

"Wow, Phoenix, the little dinosaur you drew is so cute!"

There was a hint of surprise and appreciation in her eyes.

Then, Astoria smiled and said:

"Since this dinosaur is so cute, I will forgive you for not doing your homework properly this time! But don't do it again next time, or I will be rude to you next time!"

After saying that, she winked mischievously at Phoenix.

But Phoenix felt relieved. He couldn't say that he actually drew Astoria, right?

So Phoenix pretended to be forgiven for his mistakes and said with a smile:

"Thank you for your forgiveness, Princess. I will definitely listen to you in the future!"

Astoria rolled her eyes at Phoenix, but Phoenix knew from the slightly raised corners of the girl's mouth that she was very happy.
