Melinda's eyes narrowed slightly, and she clasped her hands to her chest.

"Anything to say?" Melinda said in a bad tone.

"I know what you think now. Phoenix came up with an excuse in an instant, and it worked for a long time, "I don't have a choice, people like us from a family are always involuntary." ”

"What do you mean, your family is planning to break the contract. Melinda looked a little agitated, and Phoenix stepped forward to hold her down.

"Let's talk somewhere else, and I'll tell you everything, okay?" he struggled to keep her free. Melinda stopped struggling, and Phoenix let go of her hands, her face flushed, her small breasts rising and falling with her breathing. Phoenix took her hand and walked to an empty classroom.

"You know, our family is going into the UK. But that war is not over yet, the Dark Lord is not dead, and one day he will return. Phoenix pressed his hand and motioned for her not to interrupt herself, "Potter is the key to this war, but he doesn't necessarily trust a Slytherin, and my father understands that, so he asked me to keep Potter friendly and close to Granger so that I can also have some information." ”

"You're going to help Dumbledore?" Melinda was still skeptical of his words.

"The outcome of the war is not known until it is fought. It doesn't hurt to be prepared with both hands. ”

"If Dumbledore wins, you're going to marry her. Melinda's hand slowly moved to her pocket, "Your family thinks the Bobins are bullies. ”

Phoenix thought that this was the case, even if they were in a difficult situation now, it would still be easy to kill a pure-blood family who started out in business.

"Just as your family won't tell you anything, I don't know my father's plans. Phoenix grabbed her hand casually, his tone not flustered, "But we're not at the mercy of wood, I have an idea that might be able to get out of it all." If you stand by me, support me, help me. ”

"What's the solution?"

"I just have a rough idea now, after all, the war hasn't started yet. ”

For a while, the two of them stood like this, and snowflakes fell outside the window again.

"Is what you said true?" Melinda finally looked up at him.

"What do you say? Phoenix looked at him sincerely, grabbed Melinda's waist, and kissed her on the lips. He knew she would believe it. A lie sandwiched between two truths is the hardest to spot.

Besides, what he said is reasonable, pure-blood families have always been like this, and rarely put their entire wealth on one person. Fortunately, she is a person of blood supremacy.

Hermione's problem had to be solved quickly, she would have known sooner or later that Phoenix was engaged to Melinda. But how to solve it. Phoenix was secretly worried.

A week after the start of the semester, Ravenclaw played a game against Slytherin. Phoenix caught the Golden Snitch in less than five minutes of the opening period, presumably a new record. No one remembers how quickly the Hogwarts Quidditch match ended, and he hadn't ridden a firebow yet. Flint intends to surprise the Gryffindor team.

However, I'm afraid it will have to be discounted. Harry also had a firebolt.

That's bad news for Gryffindor, because if Gryffindor wins against Ravenclaw, they can still finish second. But the difference between Slytherin and Gryffindor has widened, and if they want to win the title, they have to catch the Golden Snitch on the day of the final, which is too difficult.

All Slytherins are very optimistic about this year's winning momentum, if Gryffindor loses to Ravenclaw in a few days' time. They can then claim that they are champions. Although no one wants to admit that Gryffindor have been the only team that has posed a threat to Slytherin over the years, especially with Harry.

January has imperceptibly turned into February, but the cold weather has not changed. The Gryffindor trio has changed. Ron's rat died, and they thought Hermione's cat had done it. Well, there's really nothing wrong with cats eating mice.

It looked like Ron and Hermione's friendship was over. Both were furious, and Harry didn't know what could be done to remedy their relationship.

Ron was angry that Hermione never took Crookshank's intention to eat Blobs seriously, and never bothered to take a closer look at Crookshan. And still pretending to think that Crookshank Mountain is innocent, he even suggests that Ron go under the beds of all the boys and look for Spotted. Hermione angrily said that Ron had no evidence that Crookshane had eaten the spots, that the yellow fur might have been there since Christmas, and that Ron had been prejudiced against her cat since the day Crookshane jumped on Ron's head in that magical zoo.

Harry personally believed that Crookshank had indeed eaten Blob, and tried to point out to Hermione that all the evidence pointed to this, at which point to her, she lost her temper with him.

"Well, take Ron's side, I know you will!" She said bitterly, "First the firebow arrows, now the spots. It's all my fault, isn't it, leave me alone, Harry, I have a lot to do!"

Phoenix felt that he was a counselor this semester, first with a broomstick and then with a cat and mouse.

"Now—I—" Hermione cried incessantly in Phoenix's arms, and couldn't be persuaded to do so. He could only hold her in one hand and a tissue in the other. The Room of Requirement is very humane, making a big bed and a lot of tissues. The whole room is also very warmly decorated.

"It's okay, you still have me. He can't think about it for a while when he has no pets, and when you all calm down and talk calmly, it'll be fine. ”

"Huh?" Hermione suddenly blushed, and Phoenix was embarrassed. She felt something between Phoenix's legs against her, and she realized what it was.

They looked at each other, and the atmosphere became very ambiguous. Neither of them spoke after that, but just sat quietly. It's not that Phoenix is a decent gentleman, it's that he feels that Hermione's body hasn't developed yet, and he won't lose his mind directly. But it's hard to say later.

The next morning, Phoenix went downstairs for breakfast with the rest of his dorm room, and saw that the Slytherin team looked like it had been struck by lightning. There was a flaming bolt on the Gryffindor table, and people from the other houses rushed over to see it.

"Draco, go over and see, is it really a fire bolt, I can't believe it. Flint's face was gloomy.

Draco Malfoy walked over to take a closer look, Crabbe and Goyle were right behind him.

"There are many characteristics of this broom?" Malfoy said, his eyes shining with malice. "It's a pity it doesn't have a parachute with it - just in case you get too close to the Dementors. ”

Crabbe and Goyle snickered.

"It's a pity you can't have another arm, Malfoy," said Harry, "or it could catch the golden snitch for you." ”

The Gryffindors burst out laughing.

"Phoenix caught the snitch much faster than you did," Draco's pale eyes narrowed, and he slowly walked away. The atmosphere in Gryffindor fell silent for a moment, and that Peverell's performance on several occasions was indeed eye-catching.

"Really? Draco. ”

"Indeed, damn it, how could it be. ”

"We have seven fire bolts. Bress reminded.

"Be quiet," Nott looked back nervously, "it's our secret. ”
