Phoenix silently chanted a spell in his mind, a ray of light flashed, and he successfully cast the Illusion Spell.

Then, he ran towards the library at an astonishing speed and soon arrived at his destination.

Once there, he immediately spotted Harry, Ron, Hermione and Draco crouching in a bush.

After Phoenix lifted the Disillusionment Charm, he tiptoed behind Draco and patted him gently on the shoulder.

Draco was startled by this sudden action and turned his head sharply.

When he saw it was Phoenix, he breathed a sigh of relief and complained:

"Phoenix, you scared me so much, I thought it was that Filch guy coming!"

"Okay, don't be nervous. Time is running out and the task is heavy. We have to act quickly."

Phoenix comforted Draco and patted him on the shoulder, then turned to look at Harry, Ron and Hermione, motioning for everyone to set off together.

So, the five of them walked into the library cautiously and quietly moved towards the restricted books area.

Along the way, they were quite lucky and did not encounter any unexpected situations.

Finally, they successfully entered the restricted section of the library.

"You lead the way and find the book."

Phoenix said solemnly.

Harry nodded heavily to show his agreement. He knew very well that this matter was of great importance to Phoenix.

However, only Hermione's mood seemed quite complicated. Her thoughts drifted far away and no one knew what she was thinking at the moment.

In a moment, Harry led Phoenix to a secluded corner.

Harry raised his hand and took a book that had been covered in dust from the bookshelf.

What is surprising is that the cover of the book is blank, without any words or patterns.

Phoenix took the book curiously and flipped through it gently, but was surprised to find that every page in the book was made of spotless white paper without any words or images.

He couldn't help but look confused and turned to look at Harry.

Harry nodded slightly and asked softly towards the book, "Grandpa, are you there?"

At this moment, something incredible happened. The originally blank page seemed to be stained by magical ink, gradually becoming as black as ink.

Page after page, until the entire book turned completely black.

But the darkness of this book seems extremely strange, as if one would be deeply trapped in it and unable to extricate oneself if one is not careful.

Then a kind-sounding voice came from the black book.

"Yeah, you're here? Are you ready to become my disciple?"

Harry said nothing, signaling to Phoenix that it was his turn to speak.

Phoenix nodded and said to the black book:

"Before saying that, I want to ask other questions."

"Hey, you're not the little wizards from before, but go ahead and ask. I'm just looking for a successor."

"Why do you distrust me so much?"

The black book sighed and seemed very sad.

But Phoenix ignored the sad tone of the black book and asked:

"Do you actually know how to lift the Greengrass family curse?"

After hearing this question, the black book was silent for a moment, and then answered in a mysterious tone:

"Of course, I am a being with infinite wisdom and knowledge. As long as you become my disciple, I can teach you how to remove the curse."

Phoenix frowned, obviously not satisfied with the answer. He continued to ask:

"Do you have any evidence that you can do this? After all, we don't want to pin our hopes on someone who can't be trusted."

The black book was silent again for a moment, as if considering how to respond.

Finally, it spoke slowly:

"You are talking about the blood-cursed orcs, right? Of course I know how to remove it, but I will only teach the process to my disciples."

"How about it? Do you want to be my disciple?"

"As long as you become my disciple, I will teach you how to break this curse."

Black Book said in a tone full of temptation.

Hermione gently tugged at Phoenix's sleeve and whispered:

"Don't be fooled by him. Be careful."

Phoenix nodded to show that he understood, but he did not answer immediately. Instead, he thought in silence.

After a while, he said:

"Can you transform into a human form? I want to see your true appearance, so that it will be easier for me to become your disciple."

When Hermione heard this, she wanted to step forward to stop it, but was stopped by Draco.

Draco whispered in Hermione's ear:

"Don't go forward, trust Phoenix, he's very smart!"

Although Hermione was still a little anxious, she followed Draco's advice and decided to observe the situation for a while.

Phoenix continued to Black Books:

"If you can let me see your true self, then I will have more confidence to become your disciple. After all, I need a mentor who I can trust and rely on."

The Black Book seemed to hesitate for a moment, then said:

"Well, in that case, I will temporarily transform into a human form to meet you. But remember, this is only for you to get to know me better, and not for any other purpose."

As he spoke, a thick black mist emerged from the black book and gradually condensed into a solid entity in the air.

He was a thin old man, his body seemed somewhat unreal, as if it would disappear at any time.

His face was shrouded in shadow and his full appearance could not be seen, but one could feel that his gaze was sharp and deep.

His beard had not been trimmed for a long time and grew in a messy manner, giving people a feeling of vicissitudes and mystery.

He was wearing a tattered black robe, the sleeves of which fluttered in the wind, revealing an ancient and solemn aura.

He held a black cane in his hand, the tip of which was flickering with a faint light, as if it contained some powerful power.

"Okay, now that you've seen me, isn't it time to become my disciple?"

The black figure said in a low voice.

Phoenix had a faint smile on his face and a mysterious light flashing in his eyes. He responded softly:

"How about you look into my eyes first?"

Hearing this, the black figure raised his head in confusion and looked at Phoenix.

In an instant, a pair of scarlet three-magatama Sharingan appeared before his eyes.

These eyes were like the eyes of a devil, emitting a strange and powerful aura.

The black figure felt that his brain was instantly in chaos, as if he was caught in a vicious circle that he could not escape.

His eyes became confused, his thoughts gradually became fuzzy, and his whole body became confused and dazed.

However, it all happened so fast that Harry, Hermione, Ron, Draco and others hadn't reacted yet.

Phoenix has put away his three-magatama Sharingan.

Therefore, they did not see the pair of heart-pounding scarlet eyes, but only saw the black figure suddenly become dull and lifeless, as if it had been hit by the Imperius Curse.

Draco looked at the black figure who had completely lost his self-consciousness, swallowed hard, and asked carefully:

"Phoenix, you didn't use the Imperius Curse on him?"

Phoenix shook his head slightly and explained:

"Don't worry, it's not the Imperius Curse. It's just a small magic that can put him into a deep sleep and stimulate his subconscious."

Phoenix then added:

"Besides, given the black figure's current state, we won't be able to control him even if we cast the Imperius Curse on him."

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at the black figure standing beside him, with a hint of doubt and vigilance in his eyes.

"Are you really going to accept us as your disciples?"

Phoenix asked, a hint of suspicion in his voice.

Hearing this, the black figure seemed to be stunned for a moment, but soon came to his senses and stammered in response:

"No, I don't really want to take in a disciple. I just want to find someone with potential, train him well, and then look for a suitable opportunity to take over his body when the time is right."

This answer made everyone present secretly gasp. They could never have imagined that this mysterious being would have such an idea.

Harry, Ron, Hermione, Draco and others were all filled with shock and fear. They couldn't imagine what kind of torture they would suffer if they fell into the hands of such a person.

Phoenix sneered, then a solemn look appeared on his face, and he asked in a low voice:

"So do you really have a way to lift the Greengrass family curse?"

Hearing this, the black figure did not answer immediately, but remained silent for a while, as if thinking about something.

After a moment, the black figure nodded slightly and said in a low voice:

"Have!"

"What method?"

Phoenix asked eagerly, his eyes gleaming with anxiety.

He was very anxious, because as long as there was a way to lift the curse, the problem that had plagued the Greengrass family for many years would no longer be a problem.

What's more, before this, he had never held out any hope of finding a solution from this mysterious black figure.

However, at this moment, the black figure actually gave an answer, which made him feel extremely excited and thrilled.

Then the black figure said dully:

"There are many magical creatures in this magical world, and the phoenix is ​​a representative one among them."

"It is a very mysterious and powerful creature with unique abilities and characteristics."

"The most common thing in the magic world is the phoenix. They are surrounded by blazing flames, as dazzling as the burning sun."

"The fire phoenix is ​​usually gentle and friendly to humans, and sometimes even takes the initiative to help humans."

“However, in addition to the Fire Phoenix, there is another, even rarer type of Phoenix, which we call the White Phoenix.

Although they are called white phoenixes, they are not actually completely white, but have some gray or silver feathers.

"These white phoenixes are proud and have a high opinion of themselves. They think they are superior to other creatures and look down on humans."

"Therefore, white phoenixes tend to have a bad attitude towards humans. They disdain to interact with humans, and will not easily lend a helping hand to humans."

"In addition, due to its special living environment and reproduction method, the number of white phoenixes is extremely rare, probably only about one percent of the number of fire phoenixes."

Phoenix listened very carefully. He opened his eyes wide and stared at the black shadow, as if he wanted to engrave every word the other person said in his mind.

Harry, Ron, Hermione and Draco also listened attentively, not daring to miss any important information.

They know that this knowledge is crucial to their adventures in the wizarding world.

Then the black figure continued:

"What we know now is that the White Phoenix has a very powerful purification ability, and it is a purification power that touches the realm of gods."

"And the best way to remove the blood curse on an orc is to find a white phoenix and let it stay with the cursed person for a long time."

"If we do this for a long time, we can lift the curse of the blood-cursed orcs."

Phoenix couldn't help but frown when he heard this, and thought to himself:

"This is such a tricky question! I've never even heard of the name of the White Phoenix, let alone finding a White Phoenix to lift Astoria's curse."

So he immediately asked:

"So, do you know where the White Phoenix might exist?"

The black figure thought for a moment and replied:

"As far as I know, the white phoenix is ​​extinct. There are no more white phoenixes in this world."

"They once lived in a mysterious place, but the exact location is no longer known."

“Perhaps we can only find some clues in those ancient legends and historical records.”

After hearing this, Phoenix showed disappointment on his face.

He originally thought that he could get more information about the White Phoenix from the black figure, but he didn't expect the result to be so disappointing.

However, he did not give up hope and decided to continue working to find other solutions.

After all, he couldn't just watch Astoria suffer from the blood curse.
