As a golden light streaked by, it was as if something had hooked his navel, and his whole body was at the mercy of it, an indescribable but rather uncomfortable feeling......

I don't know how long it took, the golden light in front of him completely dissipated, and Jon Hart opened his eyes with some difficulty.

At first glance, I saw the phoenix in front of me with its head raised proudly.

"You definitely did it on purpose!" Jon muttered as he touched his lower abdomen. I've never felt so uncomfortable in the past few times I've ridden the Focus through space, and it seems that this stupid bird is holding a grudge and deliberately tossing itself like this.

Fox didn't answer, still tilting his head haughtily, pretending nothing had happened.

"Don't think I'll give you something to eat in the future!" Jon said casually.

Fawkes's face changed suddenly, and she hurriedly approached Jon's side, rubbing her long beak against Jon's calf with a flattering expression.

Jon snorted, bent down, and untied the rope around Fawkes's mouth...... After all, he promised her before, and he would not break his word.

The phoenix that regained himself soared into the sky with excitement, as if he wanted to sing......

Jon quickly dragged her from the sky with one hand, and then covered her mouth.

"Oh my God, aren't you going to keep a low profile...... We're in a Muggle town, didn't Dumbledore teach you the Wizarding Secrecy Act?" Jon retorted.

Phoenix lowered her head with an aggrieved face and nodded slightly.

But there are already Muggles who seem to have noticed something strange here.

......

"Oh God!" said an old man in his pajamas and carrying a birdcage that seemed to have just been spreading, and asked with a look of surprise, "Young man, what kind of bird are you, what a beautiful thing it is!"

The old man's eyes were fixed on Fawkes, who had no idea that the parrot in his cage had shrunk into a corner and shivered.

"Uh...... It's just a turkey!" Jon said perfunctorily, turning his back.

"Bright red turkey...... Feathers or golden?" the old man's expression was a little confused.

"Genetically modified turkey...... The latest variety, the meat is delicious......" Jon explained forcefully, and then changed the subject, "By the way, sir...... Did you know that there is a statue of an elk in town?"

"Oh, the statue is in the southernmost part of Paisley, and it's almost five hundred yards down the road......," replied the old man.

"Okay, thank you!"

A word was dropped, and before the old man could react, the passers-by in front of him and his strange turkey had disappeared.

"What a strange young man now!" the old man shook his head incredulously, "Isn't it, Merlin?"

As usual, the parrot named "Merlin" would also learn to say: "What a strange young man nowadays!"

But now, there is no sound......

“...... Merlin?" The old man lowered his head and called out the parrot's name, "Oh God, what's wrong with you?"

The poor parrot had already fainted in the cage.

......

One hand carried a suitcase, and the other hand tucked Fawkes into his black robes to prevent others from seeing.

Jon walked cautiously on the paths of Paisley, but his black robes and strange movements still attracted the attention of many Muggles passing by.

Fortunately, the Fox who was pressed in his clothes was still relatively well-behaved and did not move, otherwise the situation might have been worse.

And it's not too far...... After a few minutes, Jon could already see the rather conspicuous statue.

And also...... Under the statue, there are some anxiously waiting girls.

Astoria Greengrass put on that crisp white dress again.

Two Muggle boys accosted her, but they quickly accosted each other, feeling a little depressed.

Jon quickly quickened his pace and walked over.

The girl under the statue saw him too, a smile on her face, and waved at Jon.

Her complexion looks a little lighter than ever, possibly because of her makeup......

"You're punctual!" Astoria said with a smile.

"I should have arrived ten minutes early...... How long have you waited for me?" Jon said with a smile.

"It didn't take long...... Astoria shook her head, and then the smile on her face faded and her voice became low: "It must be ...... Do you have to go see my mother?"

"Of course. Jon nodded, "Since I'm all here......"

"Alright!" Astoria lowered her head as she held out a hand to Jon, "Grab my hand, Jon!"

Jon tucked Fawkes under his armpit while reaching out and holding Astoria tightly...... Astoria's hands were wet and slippery, and seemed to sweat a lot—

She bent down and stroked the eyes of the elk statue as she called out softly:

"For All Seasons!"

Then, two men and a phoenix disappeared from the statue......

The Muggles who came and went seemed unaware, including the two Muggles who were still frustrated by the failure of the conversation.

......

They didn't seem to have moved anything, but the surrounding Muggle towns were gone.

Instead, there is an emerald green meadow.

"What you just said was a password?" Jon asked, curious.

"Pretty much. Astoria nodded: "This is the way to visit Greengrass Manor, and the manor will also receive a message...... So Mother should already know you're here!"

Fawkes broke free from Jon's arms, glared at him with some displeasure, and then flapped his wings into the air.

"Ah......" Astoria looked at her with some surprise, "This is ...... The phoenix?"

"yes!" Jon nodded.

"She looks a little smaller than last time and seems to be a little fatter......"

"This ...... It's a long story!"

"Do we need to get her some food?" Astoria asked earnestly.

The phoenix in the sky seemed to hear this, and quickly descended again, looking at Jon and Astoria with a wistful expression.

"No need...... She's had her fill this morning......"

"Okay...... Jon, follow me!" Astoria nodded.

Then she was still holding Jon by the hand, tiptoeing through the meadow.

The grass grows neatly, slightly higher than the ankles, and caresses it on the instep and calves, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

......

The two men held hands and stepped across the meadow to the manor in the distance.

There was also a phoenix, flying behind them dejectedly.
