Phoenix felt like he had just closed his eyes with a blinding light and a loud bang.

"Man, don't sleep. Andre excitedly pulled back the curtains and shook Phoenix vigorously.

"Get out—" Andrei flew out of the window like a cannonball shattering glass. Little Watson rushed over and stood on the balcony to look down, and Andre had landed safely with the shock absorbing charm.

Someone tested the waters, and little Watson told Phoenix to get up with peace of mind.

"Damn, what time is it?"

"It's eleven forty o'clock—" He almost closed his eyes, sleepwalking, dressing, washing, and being led by the elves towards the dining table on the balcony on the second floor. From here, you can see the majestic snow-capped mountains, snow-covered forests, and mirror-level lakes in the distance, but unfortunately no one is in the mood to appreciate them.

"Hell, it's too heavy. Luckily, I was quick to react. Andrei said with palpitations. He changed out of his fur cloak and put on a well-fitting Muggle costume.

"Aren't you looking for death? Not everyone is as energetic as you. Phoenix spread his hands.

"We're supposed to be energized now, aren't we?" he glanced at the gloating little Watson, who wouldn't have gone if he hadn't bewitched himself, "I forgot you still have lessons, but that's okay, let's go explore first." ”

Andre hinted at something, and Phoenix looked confused.

"Soon, you'll know. Little Henry was also excited, wearing tattered Muggle jeans and a shirt, combed in blonde fashion.

"Where do you want this?" Phoenix watched as Andre tattooed an intricate pattern on his arm. He looked at each other and smiled, but did not answer.

"Of course, it's a good place. The two couldn't wait to say goodbye and left with Floo Net.

He didn't listen much to the afternoon class, and watched the professor's mouth open and close in a trance, but he couldn't understand a word. It can't be said that there is a problem with the professor's teaching level, in fact, he spoke very vividly, but today he is really not in a good state.

The pot-bellied professor, seeing that Phoenix was not in good spirits, reasoned enough to explain some interesting details of Muggle society.

By the end of the lesson, Phoenix was a little unsatisfied.

"He's coming?"

"It's already here, and I arrange for him to have a small dining room on the third floor. Little Watson said and handed him a letter. It's the inside of the Death Eaters, the news is coming.

He touched the magic, opened the envelope, and looked at it as he walked. Not much content, Voldemort decided to use the prophecy ball as bait to bring up Harry, and the plan is still being worked on -

"What's for dinner?" the letter turned to ashes with the purple flames.

"Baked scallops, Hungarian beef broth, herb grilled chicken. Little Watson opened the door.

The person sitting in the seat, like Daphne, has silver hair, and has a very soft look, giving the impression of a woman and a man.

"Perseus Greengrass, just call me Perth. The two shook hands with each other. This hand is really more feminine than a woman, he secretly complained to himself. Phoenix and Perth sat opposite each other.

He had heard that Perth was the illegitimate son of Mr. Greengrass, and that since the orthodox descendants were all women, the old gentleman was still withdrawn from the traditional British pureblood. Let this illegitimate child take over the family. People who do good things have speculated about his lineage. If it's a pureblood, it's a scandal, but they're still a pureblood.

Neither of them was in a hurry to get down to business, eating potato salad and chatting about the recent movements in the ministry.

—Dumbledore gave up, he talked to them. Said that he did not want such an abnormal recall. ”

"Why would he do that? He knew very well that Fudge wasn't going to stand stupid. Perth didn't understand Dumbledore's voluntary abandonment.

"Maybe he has his own plans. "Phoenix wasn't sure what Dumbledore was thinking, he could do it all right now.

"To be honest, maybe he's a little crazy, he was deposed yesterday by the Wizengamot, and he's no longer the chief magician of the Wizengamot. It's really incomprehensible to make yourself so embarrassed. ”

"Try this soup, it's very good. Phoenix didn't follow his words and recommended the Hungarian beef soup in front of him.

"Thank you. He filled himself a bowl of soup but didn't move the spoon, "The Wizengamot members must remain at odd numbers, and now that he's been deposed, someone needs to make up for it." ”

"yes, Fudge mentioned to me earlier that he was going to nominate me as the representative of the young wizards of the Wizengamot. ”

But he wasn't so zealous now, and was busy ruining Dumbledore all day. You don't have to wait for him to be promoted, we can help. His eyes were blazing, staring at Phoenix's face.

"If it can be done, of course it will be the best. I will thank you for helping me and giving you something in return. That's what I wanted, Perth was happy. This means that they can expand abroad smoothly, and without Peverell's guarantees, the business can go bankrupt overnight.

"A word of advice to you, it's best to make your choice quickly, time waits for no one. Phoenix said thoughtlessly, and Perth's face changed.

"You mean—"

"You see a lot of people have made a choice, haven't they? Maybe you should make a choice too, war is always a shortcut. After saying that, Perth was left alone to bow his head and ponder. Start enjoying the scallop gratin and herb grilled chicken yourself.

Eden appeared at the table, and Perth was quite attentive and completely unaware that the bowl of soup in front of him was being tasted by Eden.

"Don't think too much about it, we have a chance to work together, don't we?" Eden's illusion woke him up as the light of the flower shifted to him.

"War is always tense, isn't it? ”

"People who are afraid of death can't play this game. Perth's face turned slightly red.

"My sister has been talking about you during the summer vacation, or let her come here for a few days. He changed the subject to him and Daphne.

"You know, she's probably going to be left alone when she's here," Phoenix shrugged, politely declining his request. He knew in his heart that Daphne had no interest in him, and besides, Hermione would be here tomorrow, so he wouldn't make himself uncomfortable. He can't help Daphne, the British pure-blood is the most conservative, and she is likely to marry someone she knows but doesn't like in the future.

"We're all young, who can stand it. He didn't say anything to death, who knows what will happen in the future. Perth didn't insist on it, in his opinion, it was best to be Peverell's relative, no matter how good the partner was, no family would be close. As for his half-sister, then I'm sorry, it's a big deal that he pays several times the dowry.

Perth also politely declined Phoenix's invitation. I hurriedly ate two bites of dessert and said goodbye and left.

The two house-elves begin to clean up the dishes.

Phoenix came to the balcony and sat on a chaise longue drinking chilled lemon juice. Watson Jr. briefly repays what has become in the market today, and then some important situations.

"Ten minutes ago, I received the news that Potter had used the Patronus Charm in front of his cousin, and that he was currently facing multiple charges, and Fudge had consulted with Dumbledore and decided that everything would be pending at the hearing on August 12. ”

"Pretty sharp, what charge did Fudge charge him?"

"Violating the International Secrecy Act and the Reasonable Restraint of Underage Wizards Act is not a felony. "If convicted, you could be expelled from Hogwarts and have your wand destroyed." ”

"Fudge really wants to give Dumbledore a hard blow, and if the defense fails, it will be a major blow to the Order of the Phoenix, unless they openly rebel against the Ministry of Magic. Phoenix blew his whistle with ease.
