Chapter 704: Phoenix
On the third floor, Draco returned to the Strange Infections Unit, where he opened the door to see his father, Lucius, helping his grandfather, Abraxas, back to bed.
Lucius, who had learned from Draco that Alan had left, asked his father cautiously and uneasily: "Father, you didn't embarrass Alan Harris, did you? Now the Harris family is powerful in the wizarding world, the head of the family, Owen Harris, is the Minister of Magic, the eldest son Albert is in charge of the Auror Company, the second son Lunn is the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, the eldest daughter Daisy is in charge of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, and even Owen's sister Josephine? Harris is at the helm of the Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures, as well as his mother, Morganler......"
"Of course I do. Abraxus Malfoy closed his eyes as if he didn't want to see his son's cowardly expression, and then sighed and interrupted his son's chatter, "Lucius, do you really think that the position in the Ministry of Magic brings power to the Harris family?"
While Abraxas was instructing his son Lucius through his illness, Allen and his party had returned to the Harris family's tower.
Luna, Allen, and Hermione descended the spiraling staircase to the lowest floor of the Ravenclaw Tower, where candles floated in the air from the ceiling, soft light leaping out from between them.
Descending the last step to the rotunda with a ceiling floor of dark blue granite with silver edges, Luna walked in front, pushing open one of the three doors first, and walked straight onto the path that was made of different tiles in the middle of the room, with Alan and Hermione following her. They walked straight to the area to the right of the beautiful, diamond-like glittering clocks in the storage room, a wide bell crystal glass enclosure that stood tall and contained magical herbs that sprouted from seed to maturity to withering, and so onβmany of them extinct in modern times.
"It's more complete than the kind I asked you to collect. Alan looked at the seeds through the glass cover, they were well preserved by the magic of time, enough to take them out and grow them in the garden, so that things like enrichment potions and attribute potions, as well as some potions that were difficult to make due to the scarcity of raw materials, would no longer have to worry.
"I have a lot of free time. Luna took the hourglass-shaped pendant necklace that had been specially made in the closet, put it on her body, her hand pierced directly through the crystal glass cover, flipped her wrist, took out the seeds of those plants, and handed them to Hermione: "Hermione, how resistant are you to Nepeta, if you can, there will be no need to keep the Nepeta field in the Arcane Garden......"
Hermione was originally immersed in the monopoly that could be formed in the wizarding world because she had obtained these magical plant seeds that should have been extinct, but after she took these seeds, she heard Luna's inquiry and made her a little annoyed: "The nepeta field is gone!"
"Haha. Alan couldn't help but touch Hermione's hair, which looked fluffier after the explosion, to soothe it a little, and Luna also stepped out of the time zone when she saw this, and began to stroke Hermione's hair after learning Allen's movements, which made Hermione even more crazy: "I haven't changed into a human-headed sphinage manticore!"
Seeing that the girls began to fight, Alan looked into the time zone again, there were a few pockets containing unknown things, Alan knew that most of those pockets contained the leftover items from the original system reward, but he was more interested in the other flame that was suspended in the air, which was sometimes large and sometimes small: "What is that flame?"
"It was a phoenix, and I wanted to keep it as a pet, but it refused, so I got it into a state of rebirth and grabbed it and asked it to repeat the action. Luna moved away from Hermione a little and turned to Alan and added, "The contents of the bag are just magical artifacts, and they don't have much use anymore. β
Hermione, who also stopped fighting, heard their conversation and realized that the flame she had seen when she came here with Albert and Emily was actually a phoenix, and listening to Luna's words, it was obvious that the other party had surrendered the phoenix and failed to kill the phoenix directly, so that it was in a state of rebirth and was locked up here, thinking that this creature had been repeated here for I don't know how many years it had been repeated, I couldn't help but feel a little pity: "Luna, why don't you let Alan try to see if you can submit it?" Dumbledore's Fawkes likes Alan quite a lot, and he should recruit Phoenix to like it." β
"Communicate with it while you're transformed into a phoenix, and try it. Luna nodded to Allen, and unconsciously touched the back of her own hand: "Wait until we're not there, it's much better at pecking than you." β
Hermione didn't notice Luna's small movements but remembered the knowledge about the phoenix: "In the world, in addition to Dumbledore's Fawkes, only New Zealand's Quidditch team Mottola Macaw has another known phoenix that is tamed called Spark as the team's mascot, if Alan can tame it, it will be the third in the world, we all have pets, and Alan himself has no ......"
Alan watched Luna's movements, but realized why she wanted a phoenix as a pet - it was her own Animagus form, Rowena was planning to use the phoenix as a spiritual sustenance, but the phoenix is a proud creature, and it has hardly been tamed in history, except for a few people and the Mottola macaw team, only the Dumbledore family has a legend that the phoenix will come when their family members are in great need of help.
"There's a room for magical beasts in the tower, but it doesn't seem like it's been open for a long time. Luna said as she looked at Alan.
Allen's eyes flashed, since the so-called storage space is a piece of land in the storage room in the tower, the place where Luna said to keep pets should be her own pet space.
"There's another door on this floor, Albert and I can't open it, is that there?" Hermione thought of the door they had encountered when they discovered this floor with Albert before, but they couldn't push it open.
Luna nodded: "Alan has permission to open it." β
When it comes to pet space, Allen's expression is stagnant, the corners of his lips are a little stiff, and he has all kinds of things stacked up, and he hasn't seen the unicorn Gaia for two or three years. Although she also has the intention of using the pet space to protect them from danger, and she has not missed these magical creatures and friends, this emotion is quickly occupied by other things in the past few years, and as time goes by, she has developed a fear of difficulty, and she is more selective about reopening the pet space - compared to the resolute and sincere Hufflepuff or the brave Gryffindor, this is probably the weakness of Ravenclaw House.
It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, it's better to take the opportunity to take a look today, but I don't know if they still recognize themselves as friends, will they denounce themselves and ignore themselves, thinking of this, Alan felt apologetic in his heart, and he thought of what he had said to Xenophilius? When Mr. Lovegood apologized, he prepared a bunch of expensive gifts, whether to prepare some fruits and other gifts for Gaia and them, but then Alan dispelled this idea, Fantastic Beasts are more sincere than humans, they care about real emotions, not these gifts like this, and he should sincerely apologize to them instead of giving gifts.
The three of them returned to the rotunda and walked to the door, Alan stretched out his hand and put it on the door, his palm had a feeling of being suddenly pricked slightly, and the blue magic fluctuated various stripes on the door, crossing and jumping, and then with a "pop", the door was pushed open.
