By the next morning, the sun had risen high and the sunlight shone through the window onto the bed.

Astoria woke up drowsily and felt her body being hugged tightly, warm and comfortable.

She blinked and froze for a moment when she realized she was in Phoenix's arms.

However, she soon remembered what happened last night, and her cheeks turned red again.

She secretly complained in her heart:

"This bad guy must be so happy."

Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

Astoria stared at Phoenix's face quietly, feeling a surge of emotion in her heart.

"I have to say that Phoenix is ​​really good-looking. Even though he is still young, he has a unique charm, just like a cute little boy."

She sighed softly, with a gentle light in her eyes.

Astoria then carefully raised her head, trying not to make any noise so as not to wake Phoenix.

She knew very well that Phoenix was a light sleeper and often felt exhausted due to lack of sleep.

Therefore, she would always considerately let Phoenix sleep a little longer, hoping that he could get enough rest.

As Astoria gently got out of bed, she walked over to her desk and began to organize the books they would need for school today.

She carefully placed each book in her bag and made sure nothing important was left out.

After finishing, she checked it carefully again to make sure nothing was missing, then she gently closed the zipper of the backpack and put it aside.

After doing all this, she turned around and walked to the bed, gently sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out a hand, gently shook Phoenix's shoulders, and said softly:

"Phoenix, Phoenix, wake up!"

Phoenix seemed to hear someone calling his name in his sleep. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Astoria's beautiful face.

Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

"With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for!"

Then he stood up, stretched, yawned loudly, and said to Astoria:

"Morning!"

Astoria touched Phoenix's head and said softly:

"Good boy, good morning!"

Phoenix narrowed his eyes, not noticing Astoria touching his head, a dangerous look flashed in his eyes, and he said with a hint of threat in his tone:

"what did you just say?"

Astoria blinked and said innocently:

"Good morning, Phoenix!"

Phoenix snorted twice, turned over and got up from the bed, quickly ran to the bathroom, muttering:

"Hehe, wait till I finish washing up, and then you'll see how I deal with you."

Astoria giggled, quickly opened the door, ran out of the dormitory, then leaned against the wall in the corridor, quietly waiting for Phoenix to come out.

When Phoenix walked out of the dormitory, he whispered:

"You've changed, Astoria!"

"What has changed?"

Astoria blinked her big eyes and asked innocently.

Phoenix looked at her innocent face and couldn't help but sigh.

Astoria smiled playfully, revealing two dimples, her eyes curved like crescent moons, and she gently patted Phoenix's shoulder and said coquettishly:

"But you are really cute, and motherly love is overflowing!"

Phoenix was speechless, he really didn't expect that being good-looking could be a mistake.

"Okay, let's go eat. Here's your reward from last night, so make sure you study hard today."

Astoria said in a soft voice.

After hearing this, Phoenix felt very happy and nodded in agreement:

"Well, be sure to listen carefully!"

Astoria looked at him so well-behaved, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and said softly:

"That's good."

Phoenix suddenly asked curiously:

"Is there any reward after that?"

Astoria raised her eyebrows and said with a smile:

"It all depends on your performance!"

When Phoenix heard this, he immediately became energetic and assured confidently:

"It will definitely satisfy Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Astoria nodded with satisfaction, then took Phoenix's hand and said gently:

"let's go."

The two of them walked towards the cafeteria hand in hand. The sunlight fell on them, reflecting their happy smiles.

Along the way, Phoenix was racking his brains to figure out how he could sneak out of the dormitory without being noticed and go to the restricted area with Harry and the others.

When the two of them sat down at the Slytherin table, Phoenix still hadn't come up with a perfect plan.

Astoria noticed that Phoenix seemed distracted and assumed that he had not yet fully woken up from his sleep.

She considerately handed Phoenix a glass of pumpkin juice, placed a piece of bread in front of him, and said gently:

"You won't feel sleepy if you're full. Eat quickly."

A warm current surged in Phoenix's heart, and he responded with emotion:

"Astoria, you are so kind!"

Even though he didn't actually feel hungry, since this was the food Astoria prepared for him, he had to eat it all anyway.

Astoria rolled her eyes playfully and said coquettishly:

"Just know my goodness, don't let another girl abduct you one day!"

Phoenix quickly made a promise, saying that his love for Astoria would last until death.

He looked into her eyes lovingly and said seriously:

"Don't worry, I only love Astoria in my life."

Hearing Phoenix's firm and sincere vow, Astoria's face flushed with happiness, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.

"Okay, eat quickly, don't choke."

Astoria said softly.

She looked at Phoenix in front of her, her eyes full of tenderness and care.

However, Phoenix was lost in thought at this time.

While eating, he thought about what had just happened.

Especially when he saw Astoria's tender eyes, he couldn't help but feel a surge of determination in his heart.

He secretly told himself that he must find a way to lift the curse on Astoria so that she would no longer suffer.

Thinking of this, Phoenix became more determined.

He felt that if he could save Astoria, then it would be worth it no matter how high the price.

This determination also alleviated the guilt he felt for hiding something from Astoria.

Phoenix silently promised Astoria in his heart:

"Astoria, I will never hide anything from you except the curse. I will tell you everything else without reservation."

In fact, Phoenix doesn't like the feeling of keeping all the secrets deep in his heart.

He believes that protagonists in other novels often hide various secrets, even from those closest to them.

But can this really be considered close? For Phoenix, this is obviously not what he is pursuing.

So Phoenix decided not to hide anything from Astoria anymore.

He wanted to be open with her and share their lives and experiences.

Because only in this way can the relationship between them become deeper and stronger.

"Astoria, I love you. I'm willing to give everything for you so that you can be happy forever."

Phoenix swore silently.

As for the time travel, he thought it would be better to wait until Astoria was a little older to tell her. After all, she was still too young, and if she knew the truth too early, it might cause too much psychological pressure and burden on her. So Phoenix decided to put this matter aside for the time being and wait until the right time to explain everything to Astoria.

In addition, Headmaster Dumbledore once told Phoenix that only by keeping Astoria happy and cheerful can the impact of the curse be better delayed.

Therefore, Phoenix decided to spend as much of the day with Astoria as possible, trying to make her happy in various ways.

So Phoenix stayed quietly by Astoria's side the entire day without leaving.

He tried every way to tell her jokes, make faces, and even play games with her just to see a big smile on her face.

Although Astoria's concentration is sometimes not focused, Phoenix still works hard, hoping to bring her more joy and happiness.

Time passed by minute by minute and night gradually fell.

Phoenix fell asleep holding Astoria in his arms as usual, but he was not actually asleep. He was silently waiting for her breathing to become steady before he carefully got up.

He put on his wizard robes quietly and walked slowly towards the dormitory door, praying silently in his heart:

"I hope Astoria doesn't wake up so soon..."

He knew that doing so was somewhat risky and might cause unnecessary trouble if discovered, but he had not yet come up with a better solution.

After all, he didn't want to hurt Astoria, and he couldn't bear to knock her out.

He walked out of the dormitory nervously, worrying that Astoria might wake up suddenly.

Every step he took was extremely cautious, for fear of making any sound.

Finally, he successfully left the dormitory, closed the door gently, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, he is going to complete his plan!
