Phoenix retains the new players who have been selected. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Well done," he said happily, "you're flying really well and you're going to have your first full-fledged training session next Wednesday." The fire bolt is your personal belongings before you leave the team, and you have nothing to do with flying it often for a while to get used to its performance. ”

Phoenix, Rog, and Malcolm said goodbye to the rest of the team and headed for the lake. At this time, a watery sun was desperately poking its head out of the clouds, and the drizzle finally stopped.

"Head of Year 3, I just joined PA, and I think this organization is far better than the clubs in the school that don't know what to do. Progress makes us strong. Malcolm said excitedly.

"That's good that you think so, what are you interested in?" said Phoenix, riding on a broomstick, floating at the height of their chests.

"Astronomy," Malcolm said immediately, "my mother was a Muggle astronomer, and I grew up feeling that the stars had a special attraction for me. You know," his head spun between Rogge and Phoenix, "Muggles landed on the moon in the late sixties, but wizards seemed to be blank on that. ”

"Well, my dad used this to taunt Professor McGonagall. Rogge said.

"In a way, it's good to explore the stars," Phoenix said slowly, and the two listened intently, "for now, going to the moon has no real value. I mean tangible benefits. From now on, there's nothing but stone there, so why go up there?"

He raised his hand to stop Malcolm and continued.

"But in the long run, it's a big deal. Think about it, the universe is so big, but we live in a corner, it's too sad. If you are interested in this area, I am afraid that I and any wizard will be of limited help to you, and it has been thought that it is better to put more effort into the influence of the moon on divination and herbalism than to find a way to stand on the moon. ”

Phoenix had no intention of dampening Malcolm's enthusiasm. As long as it is an intelligent being, it will usually leave the home planet, sooner or later.

Then they discussed for a while how to use magic to survive in the universe. However, the discussion quickly reached an impasse, as they were not sure whether the fatal factor for Muggles was just as effective for wizards, and there were some subtle physical differences between wizards and Muggles, especially when they were harmed by magical creatures.

Even so, the two of them were still discussing happily, but Phoenix was bored, and he was really not interested in the question, but he couldn't say it directly.

It was time for lunch, and as soon as I walked to the door, the aroma of grilled steak wafted over.

However, they had barely taken two or three steps towards the Slytherin table when Professor Slughorn appeared in front of them, blocking their path.

"Phoenix, that's exactly who I want to meet!" he said enthusiastically, his fingers playing with the tip of the walrus beard and his belly bulging, "I just want to stop you before dinner! How about coming to me for a light dinner tonight? We have a little party with only a few rising stars." I invited McLagan, Philip, and the charming Miss Hermione Granger. And, of course, I really hope you two can enjoy it too, and you're both on the varsity team, aren't you?"

"Yes, Professor," Phoenix said quickly, groaning in his stomach again.

"Great, we'll see you in the evening. ”

He walked out of the auditorium satisfied.

At eight o'clock in the evening, he came to the foyer. Hermione seemed to have been waiting for a while, chatting with Harry.

"I'm going upstairs to wait for you, good evening, Potter. Phoenix said.

Harry was still a little emotional, as Phoenix disrupted his training plan, and just snorted and said hello.

"Oh, I don't think it's so much trouble," she said pleasantly, "it's just a light meal, and you don't need to wear a tuxedo or robe." ”

"Well, whether you wear it or not, it's definitely the prettiest of all. Phoenix led her up the marble steps, away from those curious gazes, Harry following behind.

"What does that mean?" Hermione asked in a mischievous tone.

"I-what?" Phoenix was taken aback, not knowing where he had said it wrong.

"Oh, I mean, you look best in your robes. He reacted instantaneously and blurted out.

"When you're not wearing a robe, it's ugly. Hermione whispered, not letting Harry hear what they were saying.

"Why, I mean, no matter what, you don't care about it, I think it's perfect. "Phoenix immediately plugged any copper leaks.

They had approached Slughorn's office, laughter, music, and loud talking growing in with their footsteps.

I don't know if this was the case, or if it was because of the magic, Slughorn's office was much larger than the average teacher's room. The ceiling and walls are covered with emerald green, crimson and gold draperies, which look like in a large tent. The room was lit red by a golden lamp hanging in the center of the ceiling. There are real elves flickering in the lights, and each elf is a bright point of light.

"Harry, Phoenix, and Miss Granger," Slughorn cried out as soon as they entered, "come in, come in." ”

Without saying a word, he led Harry into the crowd and grabbed Harry's arm tightly, as if to take him to the illusion. The two of them followed, and the other students were already done around the table.

"Come on, you're welcome," Slughorn greeted them warmly, clapping his hands, and a delicious stew appeared in front of everyone.

Just like on the train, before everyone had moved, Slughorn began to speak.

"Malcolm, what did your parents do in the Muggle world?"

Malcolm hesitated and said, "My mother is an astronomer, and my father - to be honest, I've never met him. ”

"I'm sorry, but is Muggle astronomy the same as ours?" Slughorn was intrigued.

"Oh, it's not quite the same. The advent of Newtonian mechanics and the discovery of nuclear energy and other events that played an important role in Muggle civilization were closely related to astronomical research. At present, the study of high-energy astrophysics, compact stars, and the evolution of the universe can greatly advance the development of Muggle science. The study of the Sun and solar system bodies, including the Earth and artificial satellites, has many applications in aerospace, geodesy, communication and navigation, and other sectors. ”

"That's pretty much it-" Malcolm grew quieter and quieter as he spoke, and everyone but Hermione seemed to be in a daze, including Phoenix.

"This work must be dangerous for Muggles, right?" Phoenix knew, and Slughorn didn't understand, but the professor's dignity kept him from showing his fear.

Hermione sneered and pinched Phoenix, almost making him scream. (To be continued.) )
