Chapter Thirty-Six: There Were 500,000 Pictures

The weather outside the car window was sunny and cloudy, and it was like that all summer. As soon as www.biquge.info pen "Fun" Pavilion drove through the cold fog, I saw a clear and faint sun.

"- So, your brother quickly bowed his head under the power of the powerful. Phoenix turned sideways to let a group of juniors pass, "It's so much easier than I thought." ”

"It's that easy?" said Daphne in disbelief.

"yes," Phoenix sensed that she wasn't surprised that her brother was treating his sisters like goods, "to put it another way, if your brother does get you or Astoria into my bedβ€”I'd like to live a few more days." ”

"I'm surprised," she said, flicking her beautiful silver hair, "but my sister and I will thank you." ”

"Let's go, it's time for us to make our rounds. ”

"When did I do this," Phoenix thought she was joking, "I still have a question." ”

Daphne paused, motioning for him to have something to say.

"How many times have you ever liked me. ”

"No, are you a narcissist?" said Daphne with a smile.

"Just curious, I think I'm okay looking, and I'm rich, so I should be quite attractive. Phoenix smiled too, not minding, "But if you're looking for one, how to put it, a feeling." That's very difficult, there are so many handsome and rich men, be careful that you will be alone in the future. ”

"I'll remember your words. Daphne didn't take it to heart, and turned around and flicked her waterfall of silver hair, the ends of which swept over Phoenix's face.

He went back to the box with a large pile of chocolate frogs in his arms.

"You're crazy, just the two of us. Philip helped put the chocolate frog in his seat.

"Look at luck, I don't have too many bad cards, they are the rarest ones. Phoenix took apart a chocolate frog and removed the picture inside.

Combo, an old wizard, had a beard that looked like Dumbledel's. Chinese dragon research experts who specialize in the Chinese fireball dragon have discovered the medicinal properties of the powder of the Chinese fireball egg. 、

"Unlucky. Help me, stop reading. ”

"I've given up, I don't think the production company is producing the rarest wizards at all. Philip complained, "The collectors are stuck there, you're really persistent." ”

"Actually, I don't care, but it's just the two of us, and everyone else has gone on patrol, it's boring. Phoenix picked up another, "You know, when I was about eight or nine years old, my mom bought me half a million boxes of chocolate frogsβ€”"

- I didn't collect all the cards. Philip said with a wicked smile.

"No, my dad donated them directly to St. Mungo, and every child who was discharged from the hospital received one for free, and they haven't been distributed yet. He said he couldn't get it for nothing, or I would have gathered it all. Phoenix's eyes widened slightly, "Oh, this one is rare, do you want it?"

"Thaddeus Thurkel's. ”

"Okay, thank you. Philip had just said that he had given up collecting, but now he took it excitedly and read aloud: "In 1632 Thaddeus Seckel was born, and when he became an adult, he gave birth to seven sons, all of whom were squibs. As we all know, it is very rare for a pair of wizarding parents to give birth to a Squib child, and it is clear that the situation of the Seckel family is very special. Thadis was ashamed of his sons and ended up turning them all into hedgehogs. ”

"Merlin's beard, this guy is a genius. ”

Philip took it and opened another pack.

"Listen to this," said Philip, "Tilly Toucer was awarded the Order of Merlin First Class badge when he led his family on vacation in Ilflekombe in 1932 after rescuing countless Muggles from a Welsh green dragon and altering their memories. ”

"So I should be on the picture too. Phoenix raised an eyebrow.

"It's hard to say, maybe one dragon is considered more threatening than a hundred Dementors. Philip swallowed the chocolate frog and muttered, "However, you are saving a little wizard, and you are more valuable than him." ”

"It doesn't matter, I don't care. Phoenix said nonchalantly.

In the end, Phoenix found nothing, and looked at the chocolate frog and the cardboard box in frustration. Philip gets another copy of Archibald Alderton, a wizard who famously blew away a small village in Hampshire's Little Dropins when he tried to craft a birthday cake for himself.

"Today is really my lucky day, just a little bit of progressβ€”" Philip said in high spirits.

The door of the carriage was opened, and a nervous third-grader girl. As soon as she saw Phoenix, she nervously said, "I'm here to give this to Phoenix Pevrel." She stammered, her face flushed with shame as soon as her eyes met Phoenix's. She handed over a roll of parchment wrapped in purple silk.

"What's it?" Phoenix opened confusedly.

Phoenix:

I would be very happy if you could have lunch with me in car C.

Your faithful Professor H.E.F. Slughorn

"New teacher?" said Philip in surprise, "what a surprise." ”

"No, you wouldn't have such thoughts after you got to know him. Phoenix put away the invitation, "I promise there are some special students for lunch." ”

On the way, Bress also held the invitation, and the two walked down the aisle, passing through the people waiting for the food to be delivered.

"I think a lot of people in Slytherin are unlikely to be invited. "When I first arrived, he asked me about Noether's father, and it seemed that they had been old friends. His face sank when he heard that Noether's father had died in the Ministry of Magic riot, and Nott wasn't invited, didn't he? I don't think Slughorn was interested in Death Eaters. ”

When they arrived in car C, they found that Slughorn had invited more than just the two of them.

"Phoenix!" Slughorn jumped to his feet at the sight of Phoenix, his velvet-clad belly almost filling the rest of the space in the carriage. His bright bald head and large silver-white beard shone brightly in the sunlight like the gold buttons on his waistcoat. "It's great to see you, it's great to see you! Sit, then, Sabini. Sit down!"

Phoenix nodded. Slughorn gestured, and the two of them sat down face to face in the only two empty seats closest to the door. Phoenix swept around the other invitees. He recognized Harry, Ginny, Neville, and a few seventh graders he didn't know.

"Okay, you all know these people, don't you?" Slughorn asked Harry, "Blaise Shabini is in the same grade as you, you must knowβ€”"

Shabini neither acknowledged nor greeted, nor did Harry and Ginny react: Gryffindor and Slytherin classmates were generally hostile to each other. (To be continued.) )
