Chapter 63: Tears and Laughter
Listing testimonials: Thank you for your support, I hope you can like it in the future. The shelves were relatively sudden, and I casually asked the editor, and he casually said that it would be on the shelves for you in two days. I'm so confused, I heard that it's more traditional to hit the shelves, and it feels so difficult. In the effort -
Anyway, thank you. If you have money, you can hope to give some monthly ticket support, and if you don't have money, thank you for holding a personal field!! there are girls in the group, and it's okay to come in and talk

A few days later, Phoenix sends Hermione to the Order of the Phoenix. Originally, the Weasleys had invited Hermione to their house, but they were actually going to Grimmauld Place. However, she had already told Phoenix that she was going to his castle, so she politely refused and shirked being a guest before school started.
Before parting, Phoenix asked Hermione to pay attention to Harry, especially some of his dreams or strange behaviors. Hermione was a little upset, thinking that he was still thinking of Harry as a psychopath, but Hermione finally promised that Phoenix would take notice.
As soon as Phoenix returned, Eden returned with a few letters. It was a letter from the school, and unlike in the past, this time there were three pieces of parchment, one to remind him that the school year was starting on September 1, and the other to tell him what books he would need for the next school year. The last one was a letter informing him that he had become a Slytherin prefect.
Dear Mr. Peverell,
You have been selected as the Prefect of Slytherin House at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry due to your outstanding performance and outstanding results at the school, please proceed to the Hogwarts Express Prefect's Box on 1st September, where the Presidents of the Boys and Girls Student Council will inform them of their authority and responsibilities.
I hope you will continue to bring honor and prestige to the school.
We hope you are doing well!
Attached: The prefect badge is attached to the letter.
Vice-Chancellor (female) Minerva McGonagall
As soon as Phoenix finished reading the letter, he saw another owl on the table. He removed the envelope, which had been sent by the Greengrass family. The letter was short, saying only that Daphne had been chosen as a prefect, and that the two of them could work together to maintain Slytherin's long-standing prestige.
Phoenix's eyes were on the letter, but his mind was not. The Dark Lord's Horcrux was still in flux, and Watson had to be extremely careful to search for places he might have visited during his time at the orphanage. The scope is hard to say, but it is also a job that requires patience and time to search every inch of land carefully and carefully.
But he didn't have to worry, Dumbledore would definitely be looking for it. He knew the Dark Lord better, his habits, his thoughts, everything about him.
There was a knock on the door. He knew the afternoon class was about to begin. Pack up the envelopes and clean up all the important ones. Several heavy books floated behind him and left the study.
At dinner time, Draco writes and invites Phoenix to go to Diagon Alley tomorrow to buy books. Greengrass said Melinda wanted to talk to him in Diagon Alley.
He took a sip of borscht and said to little Watson, "Has the Bobins joined the Death Eaters?"
"Yes, the inside line is also present. Miss Melinda's brother and father were both branded as Dark Demons by Voldemort himself. He leaned forward slightly and said in a calm tone.
"Unfortunate girl. He didn't say anything more, and slowly enjoyed his dinner alone.
What are I going to tell Melinda tomorrow, Phoenix thought silently.
The early morning sun shines on Diagon Alley, and the inside is now full of laughter, as if it has returned to its former liveliness. Some of the shops had large copies of the Daily Prophet on glass cases, with a spring breeze of Fudge waving to the crowd in the halls of the Ministry of Magic.
The headline reads: Trade ban lifted on the UK.
Of course, it is not possible to lift all of them at once, but it is advisable to exaggerate them in the newspapers to calm the panic of the people. Melinda's reflection through the glass. She saw a flash of fire appear, and a boy with short hair stepped out of it.
He came, and she didn't know why she panicked for no reason.
The boy was tall and thin and walked behind her in a few steps.
"Ah," said Phoenix, in a mocking tone, "the Minister has done the right thing. ”
"Hello, Phoenix. Melinda turned around slowly, and both of them looked at each other, "How was the summer vacation?"
"It's okay," Phoenix glanced at the apparition commons behind him, "You're getting prettier." ”
"Don't pour me this ecstasy soup," Melinda hesitated, "Are you coming to my house today? ”
"You know what. Now that we are enemies," he decided to get straight to the point, he said it best, "and it's normal that your father didn't choose me in the end. I'm just a teenager, and he's a great wizard who has been famous for a long time. You have your considerations, I understand. It's just that I'm afraid we won't be able to stay together in the future, and that won't be good for either of us. ”
Melinda's eyes filled with tears. Phoenix couldn't bear it, but he had to make things clear today, otherwise it would hurt her even more in the future.
"You have helped me, and I will not forget it, and I will repay you. She didn't let the tears fall. The former classmates are going to turn against each other, and no one really wants to. "Hopefully there won't be a day when wands face each other between us, good luck. ”
After saying that, he couldn't figure it out, and strode away from Melinda.
She is actually very innocent, obviously she has done nothing wrong, but because of the different choices between the families, she is on the opposite side. It's just the beginning, and there will only be more people like her in the future, and the gentle sunshine of their generation is about to fall.
The streets gradually became more and more crowded, and he nimbly shuttled through them.
In front of the Blotted Bookstore, Draco raised his hands to signal that they were there. Passing through two pill bags holding a large pile of Slug Giggs Pharmacy, he saw Draco, Rogge, Pansy, and Daphne standing in front of the door, a rare combination.
"Guys, how is the summer vacation?" said Phoenix, who greeted everyone one by one, only Daphne nodded coldly.
"Alright, how about we go buy a book first, and then go to Florin's cold drink shop for some ice cream?" Draco suggested. Pansy immediately agreed, and Rog shrugged that it didn't matter.
"Standard Spells, Level 5 and The Theory of Magical Defence, by Wilbert Linka. Daphne said to the clerk who greeted her.
"How's magic innovation?" Phoenix asked.
"Don't mention it, I don't know where to start. As soon as Rogge heard Phoenix's question, he immediately vomited bitterness.
"It doesn't matter. At least you've tried, and it's not bad, so I won't talk about that today. He reassured.
"Speaking of court, it's a shame you didn't get Potter fired. Draco said regretfully.
"Professor Dumbledore is well prepared, you don't think Fudge's little head can fight Professor Dumbledore, do you?" Rogge seemed to know the inside story.
"That's Potter's luck, and everybody revolves around him. Draco said hatefully. The clerk brought in a large stack of books, and Phoenix stepped forward to pay.
"You're jealous of him?" Daphne said, turning to Draco from the chat with Pansy.
"Are you kidding? I'm going to be jealous of him. This was heard by Phoenix, who had returned, and his books were in his pocket, as were his companions.
"It's hard to say, we all know you have a special affection for Potter. When Rogge heard Daphne say this, he immediately took a step and stood near Phoenix.
"Daphne, you're going to start singing with your wife. Draco rolled his eyes and said with a wicked grin. Pansy and Rogge coaxed on the side.
"Okay, that's enough of you guys. Phoenix smiled and shook his head, and left the bookstore to take everyone to ice cream. (To be continued.) )
